Stock ATT phone, running 4.0.4
I need to get the MMS photos, as we have a baby and tons of pics have been received.
I can only save the most recent picture in a thread to the galary, if i go back to previous pictures in a thread and hit "menu" i only get the "set picture as" option.
Ideally i was hoping it was just a directory i could grab.
I have installed and ran SMS Backup and Restore, but does that grab the pics?
Thanks

I have always used SMS backup. I back up my text before a reflash and them import them back after. I just went through a few of my text threads and photos are still there. For me..if I long press on the pic I can save it. Im not sure how far back pics are can be saved.
If you wanna be extra safe, just copy the folder containing the pics on your pc.

SMS backup didn't get pics.
The pictures in the SMS messages are not in the camera or picture folder.
Also, does anyone know where in the file system the home screen pic is?
Any more ideas? Thanks again.

You can click the pics and save them to your SD.
Your wallpaper should be stored within your launcher (some launcher do, some don't) so a backup could get it. If that's not what you mean, then I'm not sure I understand your 2nd question.

Only the most recent picture in a SMS thread with a person can be saved. If i scroll up in the conversation to a previous picture, i only get the "set to home screen" option.
Again completely stock SIII.
I'm moving to a note II and was hoping to get this stuff off. Do you know where the stock launcher would store the picture that is set to backround?
Thanks again

I don't, sorry. The stock launcher is TW (Touchwiz). But I dunno if (or where) it stores the pictures. I'll keep looking into it though. Count this as a thread bump.

So I can not find a way to save my mms received files and pictures, is there some trick to this?
Thanks,
Jeff
ya i had trouble figuring it myself.
you cant save it in the sense menu.
you have to be in the winmo message system, just simply tap the icon that looks like a multimedia icon then itl open you should be able to save using menu options.

When I open the attachment via wimo interface, it all I get is reply, forward, view test and show,
From these, there is no option to save.
Granted, I am using a kick ass Rom from NRGZ28, the October 28 version of his Rom, but I should still be able to do this, I think I have done it on the past a few roms back perhaps.
Thanks,
Jeff
you have to hit the Contents softkey while viewing the message in winmo messaging, it will show the contents of the message including picture, text, and any audio. just hold on the item you want to save and choose save from the menu.

Hi, I'm running Skyraider 3.5 and I was wondering if there was any way to remove the profile pictures from the messaging app? I'm running Handcent right now but want to go back to the stock sense app but I don't add profile pictures to my contacts and I'd rather not have any in the messaging app. I think it looks cleaner without the pictures.
Thanks for any help, it's much appreciated
have you tried clearing app data? you're talking about the contact caller ID picture, right? if its in the contact, it'll show up on the messaging. this picture could be from their google profile (if they're on your google chat or latitude), or facebook. idk of a way to remove it from either of those without deleting them from whatever service it's pulling the images from.

I'm talking about getting rid of the picture block itself, not just the picture.
Thanks for the reply though
oh, that'll be a no go. you're gonna have to find a different messaging app that doesn't have the picture block.
I am running 4.1.1 Jb. I installed new camera and gallery from 4.1.2. I erased old gallery since the new one works fine. But now when I go to MMS and hit attach icon, the new gallery is not on the list to choose from, and the old one isn't there cause I deleted it. I have to got to gallery and Share now, but I want the option to do it in MMS! Any way I can set what programs I can choose from when I hit attach in mms. I tried clearing and I don't want to change roms.

So wait.. you deleted the stock galery? It's needed for quite a few apps.. I would get it back if I were you.
I'm usin, the 4.1.2 gallery fine. I just lost the option to attach in mms. Every other function is fine. When I click attach (paperclip) icon isn't there. But it's there in Gmail.

When you hit share, do you have a option to copy to SD?
Pics are on my sd. From gallery i can share to MMS. But IN mms when I hit attach gallery icon is not one of them
How do I change the apps I can choose from when I hit Attach in sms

Oh, completely missunderstood that.
Using the stock messaging app? If so, top right corner, there should be a attach option which brings up a pop up with these options: Pictures, Capture picture, videos, capture videos, etc..
If you're using another messaging app, then Idk
Often I'll come across a pic while browsing the web that I want to text to someone. I know I can download the pic to phone and then send it as an mms but I'm looking for an option that would allow me to long press the image and have an option to "send as mms" or something like that. I just want to avoid the download process because I don't want the images to remain on my phone and it would be much easier if there was a one click solution, any ideas?

You'd have to find a browser with the option to share when long pressing an image. Alternately you could just download the image then open it from notifications and share to MMS which takes like 4 clicks.
If do a search and find a picture I want, then long-press it, and click "Download image", it downloads successfully but I can't find it anywhere with Solid Explorer or Google Photo. That said, if I go to the "Files" application it is right there when I open the application and the info bar at the top of the screen says "Downloads" and there is also a "docs" folder and all the other pictures I have done this with in the past.
I often do this to share them to Facebook or in a chat, but in order to use them I have to search and download, open Files, and use that to move it to Pictures or some other folder I know where it is, and then go back to the application and use it to upload the file by it opening Photo (the Gallery app).
Where are these downloads going that Solid Explorer or Photo can't find them?
BTW, I am not rooted.
Go into Google Photos, select the hamburger menu on the upper left, and choose device folders. You should be able to see from there where your pictures were dropped. If you open the folder, there's a toggle switch to sync it with Google Photos.

Yeah, I understand completely... But the folder isn't there.
I've had this exact same issue. I've resorted to taking a screen shot and cropping it.

Glad I'm not crazy... I think I'm pretty good with Android and just tech in general, and it just stumps me on this one.

I looked for fun and when I clicked the download notification and opened it in Google Photos it says it's in the folder /documents which doesn't exist ?
Anyway to save the photo I just clicked the share button in Google Photos and shared it to Solid Explorer and chose a location to save it.
