I'm trying to figure out how to save the photos that I've received via text message. My daughter sends them and I've always been able to save to sd storage but on this phone I don't seem to have that option. Why is that I wonder?

It depends what app ur using. Butusually u can just hold the picture and a menu pops up and "save to sd card" should be an option, or something similar to that.

I installed revolution 3.5 the other day, and did a full wipe ect..
I also wiped the SD card, and the same night it sent alot of mms`s with photos i dont have on my sd card to people. Some people got over 10 of them!
These messages was identical to messages i had sent before and even had the original text in them.
WTF is this?
Some sync**** gone wrong?
Might be some infected software, like this one http://www.kaspersky.com/news?id=207576158.
I dont belive that could "respawn" my deleted files and send them as exact copies of MMS messages i have sendt before my phone was formatted.
The same happened to me, did you use MyBackup or MyBackup pro?

Your smartphones just became a bit too smart.

Haha!
Maybe something's wrong with your carrier?
It's impossible for a phone to send something nonexistent.

There could be some messages saved to your sim card. Your sim card is used to send messages even though technically its not supposed to store them. For whatever reason sometimes the sim card saves messages as pending then sends them the moment you get your rom up and going. This used to happen to me on the MyTouch. You have to manually delete these messages by way of an app or going into your Messaging app then "Settings" and click "Manage Sim card messages" then hit the menu button and delete all of them. Hope this helps.

Hi, I run the latest built (9/26) on my phone.
I'm only getting small MMS pictures when sending/receiving text messages with no way to zoom in. If I save the picture to the SD card and open it with Gallery or a similar app I can see the full sized picture and zoom in and out.
I tried using Handcent, Go SMS Pro and Chomp SMS and set the settings in the apps accordingly to have a full size MMS picture. What am I overlooking here? I can't figure it out.
It seems like the usual MMS behavior...

Does that mean that it is supposed to be like that? I know in older builds (I'm using this ROM for about a month now) I didn't have this problem.
How was it like? I've never seen this :/

Isn't it Q&A ?

In the conversation nothing changed, but when I tapped on the picture in the conversation I used to get a full screen picture. Now I only get a really tiny thumbnail.
Just wanted to answer my own question, in case someone else has the same issue.
To update this ROM I mostly used OTA updates for simplicity. Over time I had a few issues piling up. So I decided to do a clean install via CWM etc. And now everything is back to normal again. Hope that helps someone.

I use sms backup+ and it saves all texts to my Google account.

You can use Google Voice to have a copy sent to an email. Or use Texter Plus if your sprint and willing to pay 2.99 a month for the service. But you can save reply or delete remotely with Texter Plus.

With Google Voice, you can also route all your SMS through it...making all your texts you send/receive viewable on acomputer real-time....also does some other neat stuff.

Click SMS in the list of folders in your Gmail account. All texts will be backed up and shown on the right. You can import them into your phone whenever, like if you flash a new ROM but want your text history imported. The only limitation is MMS.

Ever since I flashed the prerooted stock rom from xda, my picture messages are both received & sent in slideshow format. My wifes s3 is untouched & does not do this. Her pics come in as a full screen picture & not as a slide show or video format. Is there a setting somewhere I am over looking? A line of code that can change this? Or should I try replacing the messaging apk?
Any help or suggestions are welcome

Here is my version info. Just stock & rooted.

Any ideas?
The only time I get slide show us when it's more than one picture Sent. If it's just one it come in normal. If it's a slide show just long press, hit save and they will go to your gallery where you can view them in their entirety and delete whichever one you don't want.

Yes I have been saving the pics to the memory card to be able to see them.
Mine always comes through as a slide show format even if it is only one picture.
It's pretty annoying......
I know this is not normal behavior, but cannot find a way to correct it......
If I flash a shock messaging apk in place of the existing one, do you think this might help?
The one I have should be stock but came with the stock/rooted rom I downloaded from xda.
What rom are you using? Maybe I can link you to some other sms apps you can try.

I'm running 4.1.2 and I created a folder and copied some texts to it within the messenger. Where is this folder stored? I'm trying to move them to an ad card and onto another phone.

Download a file manager from the play store and search the internal memory as well as the SD card for a folder that might contain the messages.
If you still can't find the backed up messages, then download an app from the play store that backs up messages, there's plenty of them on there.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but I can't ever recall being able to create folders and backup/export/import text messages from within the messaging app to the sdcard??
I am stock 4.1.2 and do not see this as an option. Nor have I ever, and I've looked! Only way I know to do this without an sms backup app is to copy the db file from telephony....If I've missed something I would definitely like to know!
