not sure if this has been discussed but i have a att galaxy s3 and each time i get a mms on my stock messaging app i get the pic in a slideshow as if its a video in order for me to zoom in and out i have to save the pic and then i ca nzoom in and out. is that a carrier thing or am i doing something wrong?
Mine does the same thing, and also sends pictures in a slideshow by default. My Captivate used to do this too, which leads me to believe it's a feature of Samsung's messaging app, not necessarily an AT&T thing.
Nobody sends me MMSes. No dongers and such... :crying:

Can someone with a slide and handcent 3.0.4 test something for me?
Can you try and send yourself a MMS PICTURE and see if handcent will display it?
I'm currently having the follwing issue when the following happens
Send a MMS picture using handcent to another phone using handcent the MMS comes through blank with a <Subject:> only bubble.
HOWEVER if I open the thread in the default messaging the picture is there as a picture (not a slideshow).
If I send a MMS with the default app to another phone using handcent it displays fine. (viewing the same thread in default messaging shows the image as a "slideshow")
If I receive a MMS from a phone using handcent handcent displays it empty (but the default app shows the picture, again as a "image" not slideshow)
I tried this on two slides tonight with the same results. Mine and my sisters. My sisters' had NO other apps installed, just handcent.
I'd really like someone else with a slide to try to send yourself a MMS and post what happens here. (compose a new message, hit menu, hit attach, hit picture, add a picture, hit send)
And maybe try to send another handcent user a MMS the same way and another slide user if possible.
MMS works perfectly as long as its not from another handcent user
I'll check it out in the morning.
My mms won't even go thru on my phone with handcent
I don't do alot of MMS on my phone, but I just tried this for the first time today, and you're correct sir.
Messages just show up blank with the <Subject: no subject> line in there. I also can't seem to send MMS to other people (wife's g1) at all, they just don't make it to her.
Everything works correctly with the stock messaging app, but I really don't like the stock messaging app. Anyone think we could get the apk for the messaging app from a g1 or something?
handcent might need to update the app in order to send the mms properly

Thanks, I'm glad it's not my slides.
Also, can you try to attach from the camera and see if it sends out a pic?
(menu -> attach -> camera, take picture, click send)
It doesn't send anything for me, it just saves a picture on the card.

Same thing. Saves the pic on the card but doesn't actually attach it.
http://bbs.handcent.com might be good to start a thread there, although I asked a question a while back and nobody ever got back to me on it.
yeah I have a long thread going there with a guy.
It's probaby something with the slide and/or sense
It came through 40 min later and was blank. couldn't view it in handcent. i'm gonna send them an email
Has anybody been getting app updates in the market with their MTS with T-Mobile?

Yes. A few days ago I couldn't see Handcent, now I can.
There is an article on phandroid about google fixing something with the market in the past few days.
Handcent is back up and running good
Am I missing something? I can't figure out how to get my G2 to send a regular picture message, It sends and recieves pictures as a slide show for me. Sending a picture from the G2 to a G1, the G1 gets it as a picture message even though it shows up on my phone as a slide show.
Try sending one from yourself. A bunch of the guys I work worth like to forward nsfw pics around all day and if someone who didn't have a smart phone sent it to me it was a slide show, if someone had a smart phone, etc, I got it the right way.

I had this problem on my Vibrant as well. I never found a way to solve it so I just dealt with it.

It's a bug. Tmobile is very aware of it. There are some 3rd party free apps in the marketplace that will fix the issue.

chompsms, I think. I don't have android right now but I read up on the topic. Here's a link.

Yeah. i use handcent. its lightyears better than stock app and has quick reply and quick compose features. ALso no stupid slideshow mode.
thats what i use
Sorry to bring up a dead topic but just wondering if a fix was ever found? I've flashed a new ROM & its having this problem.
I really don't know of any 'fix' for this. Not to mention the fact that the best OS out the can't seem to send a proper mms and not compress it to less than 10kb. No amount of UA spoofing or alternate messaging apps will fix any of this until google addresses the issue. Maybe some one smarter than I can sort through the phones code and find the culprit, then remove it.

Ever since setting my UA to Nexusone I have had zero problems with large MMS.
They download at full size, I just received a 665k MMS today.

What do you mean by "UA"?

Yes, but how about sending? The custom UA doesn't fix that issue, any mms you send will compress to a wicked small file. I've even resized the image to 600Kb and even 300Kb, both were reduced to a measly 6Kb and 8Kb (same with my MT Slide when I used it).
Btw, UA = User Agent.
It's the ID of each model of phone that the network servers use to determine certain features, like mms. When you send an mms it sends messages to the server stating 'message incoming/phone UA' the server then sends back an ok - the message is sent, server sends a receipt.
When a message is sent to you the server sends an invisible text stating 'message waiting/message address/what's your UA ID' the phone then confirms the UA ID. The server then reads the UA and adjusts the message accordingly and says the message is ready, phone then downloads it and sends receipt.
Very long (but quick) process. So yes, changing the UA will help with receiving an mms but the phone, at least in Androids case, is the reason why we can't send a large mms. Since all messaging apps like handcent still rely on the core process used by Android to send messages - there's no way to bypass it completely. You can trick it into sending a 300Kb picture as long as the original size isn't much larger but good luck on 600Kb - 1MB or more, they get downsized to nothing.
I'm having an annoying issue when I send or recieve an MMS it shows up as a slideshow in my stock MMS app. I'm using the Galaxy Note II SGH-I317M from Telus with Android 4.1.2. This issue was also in the 4.1.1 version. I've used custom roms and this only seems to be an issue in the Touchwiz releases.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? If so, have you encountered a fix for it?
Thanks!
The only thing I can tell you is to not send text with the image and only send one picture at a time. Tell your friends not to send text with the picture and to send only one at a time. It is annoying the only other thing to do is save the images to your device.

That's something I noticed on my old Galaxy Nexus... If text was included with the image, it would show as a slideshow. With the Note II it doesn't seem to matter. Whether or not there's text included with the image, it still shows as a slideshow.

This drives me nuts! Hard to believe it's really this way and there is no fix. Well, other than using another Texting app, which i've tried and don't really want to do. I wish there was a way to fix this on the stock app.
Because of this issue I started using Go SMS Pro. It's far better in almost all aspects and doesn't show MMS as slideshows. I love the pop-up messages without exiting other apps as well.
Hey I just wanted to know if anyone else is having a drop in quality of pictures you take / screenshot when you send them from messaging using MMS? My friends will tell me that the picture looks really broken/pixelated and when I first take it, it looks crystal clear. Is there a fix for this?

I believe this is due to the Picture being "too big". Not sure why other phones (the unmentionable one on this forum) sends MMS photos just fine (I assume because most of it is done over "Data" now VS "cell phone service". On my phone I have i747 even if im connected to wifi, it sends the pic over 4G....retarded why android does this but oh well. I use GOSMSPRO because you can have it retain the "original resolution" of the pictures VS the OS down scaling it so you can send it over the air. I think google should fix this and have it send of WIFI or DATA when available...but it hasn't yet so I don't think it ever will be.
Ive searched hundreds of posts but all the answers are the same. If you are annoyed by getting multi picture or pictures with words from iPhone users coming through as a slideshow or video, the simply install Handcent SMS and the problem magically goes away. We'll I've had Handcent for years and I still have the same problem. I've got it installed and it's set as the default as far as I can tell, I still get slideshows from my iPhone friends when the send multi picture mms messages. Can someone please tell me exactly how to make Handcent show these as single pictures where I can zoom in?
Affects me as well

This is also a problem for me. It's affected all of my Android devices.
It seems that when I receive an MMS from any other user (not just iPhone users) it will be displayed as a slide show instead of an image if the message was sent along with text. This happens even if the attachment is only one image.
It is also triggered if the sender's message has two or more images (even if no text).
I can't begin to describe how annoying this is. From internet searches this has been an issue since at least 2010.
