Can't save text pictures ? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Very frustrating, I had a client text me a couple of pictures, and they came through perfectly in the stock text app. But there is an issue, can't save the pic. On my other Android phones I could long press picture and save to gallery, or even have the option to forward the pic.
Nothing happens when I press the picture, no options at all.
Any opinions on what's the issue ?
Sprint Galaxy S2 w/ Calk's 1.5a + ICS 1.6

Today it allowed me to long press the picture and gave option to "forward". I forwarded the picture text to my vendor over an hour ago, still says "sending..." under the pic.
And also having an issue e-mailing myself attachments or pics. I e-mailed a pic I took last week, to my work e-mail, I sent it over half hour ago, still not showing up, WTF ?

Messages Performance Question.

Hi,
In your Messages, it will show all the conversations you have text'ed with other people.
Let's say you tab on Messages > Christina (430)
Is your messages loaded right away or it lags (the little circle appears in the middle & spinning)?
And then, when it has finished loading, does it show the name Christina right away or it shows the phone number, then 1 or 2 seconds later, the phone number will change to the name, in this case Christina?!?!
My phone is HTC Legend & it lags. I'm guessing the Desire does not since the CPU is quite a bit faster?
Thanks for all the info.
Mine lags when scrolling through the messages, ive also found when sending a message the more messages you have, the longer the please wait sign stays there

[Q] Odd Messages behaviour after Froyo

Has anyone noticed the stock Messages app has some glitches in it now. Specifically, I've found 2:
1. If I'm typing a text, about 50% of the time, the screen will suddenly jump to the very top of the conversation list. This also removes the window you are typing in and stops you typing. So if you have around 200 messages in that particular conversation, it can be quite irritating to have to start flicking back down to continue.
2. This one is less frequent but I'm now sure it exists. When I tap on a particular conversation from the main list, occasionally I get taken to a completely different name/conversation. I used to go back to the main list to see if I mis-tapped, but the conversation it went to wasn't even close.
I've now gone to Handcent because of the irritation, but I'm wondering if it was only me that saw this?
i have the first problem too... very frustrating but i like the stock sms application because its so simple... tried chomp sms and handset 2 months ago and went back to stock app because i couldnt search in greek to add a contact (i dont know if it has been fixed)...
non rooted desire with froyo
yep, got these problems too, however I'm not on stock froyo, NeoPhyTe 5.0. I have also noticed another problem, whenevery I'm scrolling through the widget, sometimes all messages seem to be from one contact, even though they're not! weird, but then I let it reload and all seems fine

Problem with SMS timestamps and missed calls

Hey all,
Couple of problems. I don't seem to be getting the correct timestamps for SMS messages received while the phone was off, it just shows the time that the phone was turned on. I'm fairly sure I used to get the correct time when I was on an iPhone. Is this supposed to happen or is there an issue somewhere?
Also, I don't seem to be getting missed calls at all if the phone was off when the call was placed or if the phone was out of signal.
Running ARHD ROM, but I think these issues were happening when I was on stock.
Cheers for any help
That's how it is.. a text while the phone is off will show the time stamp of when the phone is turned on.. also you won't see a missed call notification while the phone is off.

Is this an Android thing? Because I'm fairly certain when I had an iPhone it showed me the time of when the message was sent, not when I turn my phone on. Not the end of the world just inconvinient.
Just to note: Viewing the full details of an SMS shows sent time and received time. However, it seems that the message app sorts messages by the received time. e.g. I have two messages sent half an hour apart while my phone was off. The one that was sent second was received by my phone first and listed below the other SMS in messages. Would be better to have it the other way around IMO.

Gallery Issues

I've finally reached a point where my gallery issues are driving me nuts. Google makes it seem like I'm the only person in the world with this issue to top it off. The issue I am experiencing is that pictures that I download from the internet go wherever they want in my gallery. For instance (its not every time, but too often), if I download a picture (that contains no exif data) from a website, instead of showing up in "all downloads", it goes into "camera shots" album. Then within camera shots, the actual pictures taken with the phone camera start way in the middle of the album, which is annoying if you have over 1000+ photos. There seems to be no way to order the pictures there by time/date that I have found.
Then comes the issue when I swipe over to timeline. Changing the order there makes no difference to the display of pictures. If I set it to month, the first picture might show Nov or it might show the current month of July. Change it to day, etc, same thing. A picture I've just taken or downloaded might be at the bottom of the timeline or in the middle despite the setting.
I don't want to believe that such things were overlooked during testing by HTC or either Tmo, but it seems like that. Could I indeed be alone in experiencing this, or is there something I am overlooking in the settings?

Question I can no longer change my text message sound

Long story short, I changed my text message sound to Pulse Beam as soon as I got the Z Fold3 in August. I cracked it, and got a replacement mailed to me in early February. I transferred everything, and it was pretty much a success (for the most part).
So last night I wanted to change Pulse Beam to something else. I went to my Messages, Settings, etc. and changed it to something else (let's use Nebula as an example). Well, I hear the Nebula sound when I press it, and see that it is set. I exit out, and when someone texts me, it's still Pulse Beam. I go back in Settings and see that it's still on Nebula. I have tried about 10 different sounds (even from Zedge) and while it appears to be working (let's me set whatever), it's still the same old Pulse Beam when someone texts me.
Now, I can still set individual text messages and that will work (say I set Joe to Nebula, it will be the Nebula sound when he texts me), but that is a pain. I don't want to set 200+ new contacts.
I don't know what happens if someone not in my contacts texts me, but I'll try and find out later today at work. Anyway, how weird is this? Any ideas?

Have you tried clearing data and cache on the message app?

Edit: It's all good now. I was changing Message General Notifications instead of New Messages. Always the easy fixes lol.
Yes Android has changed notification sounds so the are linked to notification events instead of settings inside the app.
