With the default messaging application when i receive a mms it comes in as a slide show even though it is only one picture. If i open picture up and hit menu ,pause, the picture still goes away after a little while.
Why am i receiving a slide show when one picture is sent to me. I know i can use chomp or handcent but i would rather jut get this fixed.
Is it possible to stop slide shows or just the way things are on the phone?
I would like to know if there is a fix for this too.
Thank you

The fix is to replace the htc messing app with the standard android app. It's been a while since I did it but a google search will yield the instructions and the apk.

So far i seen that happen in the beginning Also.. the reason it goes to slide show is cause there is a caption to the pic. Have the person or persons not write something and just send the pic.. it will come not as a slide show

Actually that is not totally true... I have recieved plenty of messages with captions... I have seemed to narrow it down to
1. Iphones like to create slideshows for us. (Randomly at that)
2. The file format of the picture..

Thank you doing a search i found the Mms.apk file removed old one and installed new one and it worked out just great.
@masterfuel:
I get what your saying, that might be true in some cases, but i have tested this method with only Androids sending me the pictures.
Its been from DroidX, Evo, both bring up a slide show, but after doing what "baknblack" suggested actually turned out to be a better solution.
If anyone needs the fix here it is

Thanks for all the feedback on this. I have been getting a slide show for pretty much everything. From android, blackberry and iPhone. Maybe it has something to do with the captions people are adding like someone mentioned. But it is annoying that u can't stop the slide show. If u click on picture there is a pause button but it starts again by itself. I will try that basic Android fix and see how that works out. I am guessing u push file to system/app and delete the old one.... whatever that is called. I have to see if there are instructions in the other thread linked here.

the sense mms application was working fine ... i installed the vanilla mms app to get rid of the slide show ... but now with the vanilla mms application ... i cannot send MMS messages...
if i try to compose a mms from the picture gallery the message shows up blank with no picture attached .. if i add the picture manually and then try and send the app force closes ...
I used to have this issue also, I remember searching for a fix and then found that it was just the messaging app, downloaded handcent and have never looked back, just remember to disable the notifications on the stock app and then you have a fully functional, kick ass, text messaging app.

Something got borked on mine on new years eve I was sending some pics and it hung. I know the network was jammed that night and i think the thing got itself into some state it couldn't recover from. Like having a file that didn't close properly or something.
This happens to me as well...with handcent....HATE IT!
I'm using hand cent as my ui for texts instead of the stock sense app, is there a way to get rid of the stock one completely?

Can you not delete the MMS.apk from the /system/app folder? I'd freeze the stock app in TB first to make sure Handcent doesn't need it for anything.
See I thought the same thing I went into it under manage apps and deleted cache and everything, it ended up deleting all my convos in each the hand cent and stock one, so I think it needs parts out of that apk

Okay I used tb to freeze it and I can stillget texts but I'm not going to delete it,i don't know if it holds anything else that I may need

when i freeze my mms.apk my texts still work but I will get the popup in handcent right away and about 30 seconds later the notification sound will play. as soon as i unfreeze it pops up and plays audio right away. Other than that I have noticed no problems with freezing it

I use a themed stock MMS, so I'm not sure if Handcent is a stand-alone messaging app or if it works with the stock app. As for freezing vs uninstalling; smart move. That's what I do if I'm not sure how the ROM will behave without the .apk. If all is well after a few days, I'll go back in and uninstall it to free up internal storage.
On the Moment, you had to have stock MMS even if you were using Handcent or Chomps, et al. Just had to uncheck the notifications in settings.
I can only assume the Evo is the same way (Or all 'droids, for that mater)

Handcent is a stand alone app and you do not need the stock sms app.
To uninstall:
-open titanium backup
-taps backup/restore at the top
-scroll down till you see the stock sms app
-tap it, select uninstall
Now, what I recently realized, if you DELETE the backups or it, then select uninstall the app, the next time you flash and update of your rom, like CM7 nightly 64 > 65, it'll list all the "uninstalled apps" at the top, for quick deletion, which I find useful.
i just changed the file ext from .apk to .adk through root explorer....a lil easier,i think
Thus has been real help full , if you change the type of file its still taking up space, only down side

in the past i found that sometimes i couldnt open an mms in handcent but could in the native app. after it was opened in the native app i could then open it in handcent. so i figured whats the harm in keeping the native just in case
okay so with the new handcent sms update a feature included is "Default messaging application"
the description for this is:
"Set handcent as the default messaging application, completely disable stock messaging application and 3rd application for SMS or MMS."
my question is, does this make it possible to delete the stock messaging app through root uninstaller?
And i only want to do this because they finaly came out with an ALL black theme lol.
In my experience with using this same option on GO SMS, yes, if you set Handcent to handle incoming/outgoing SMSs and MMSs, you can delete stock messenger. I'd suggest just freezing it in Titanium Backup if you can, though. And if you delete it, make a backup of it first.

Ill try that then, thanks! The stock messaging app seems to be open in the background a lot.

Please post your results!!
I had always heard that handcent needs the stock messaging - that hand cent is more of a ui not a service.
I'd love to yank the stock one if it's not necessary.
No you don't need the stock messanger for handcent to work. Both the wifes phone and mine are running handcent only. As mentioned above though use Titanium or Root Uninstaller Pro to back up the app first just in case. I've unistalled it a fair number of times thanks to my Rom'itus and never had an issue though!

Yes I was using handcent for some time, every time I flashed a rom I would uninstall mms.apk with titanium and get handcent, it works just fine.
Although, from what I understand you cannot receive mms with handcent on sprint, never tried having both stock and handcent to see if u receive that way
Sent from my SPH-D700
Thanks guys! Yeah I just pulled the stock one , and it works just fine, but I would recommend freezing or backing up.
*edit* oh and btw I think you can remove mms.apk since thi app gives you the option of handling both sms and mms.
Sent from my SPH-D700
Edit: DO NOT selct the retrieve automatically setting under handcent settings. It will overide the voicemail and you will only reciecve voicemail notifacations through sms/mms.

So the new Facebook Messenger can integrate SMS messaging with the Galaxy S3. However, it does not work for me. I thought about and 1 possible reason is that I replaced the Touchwiz MMS app with the stock ICS app. But this shouldn't affect it right? Since the app is just a front-end?
When I click a message icon and choose Messenger, it just opens the app and nothing happens. When I receive an SMS, it does not show up in the FB Messenger app. If I try to send a message to a cell # in FB Messenger, it does not work.
If it is affecting it, how can I get the Touchwiz MMS app so that I can integrate my SMS with FB Messenger? Thanks.

I believe it's not just front-end. Back in the amaze 4g forums, only certain mms.apk files would work with mms regardless of anything you did or even trying mms with third party apps like go sms.
Basically, make a backup, try flashing the original mms apk and try it out.

Where do I get the touch wiz MMS app to flash?
Can't promise it'll work 100%, I didn't test it, but here, try this, I haven't made a flashable file in ages: http://www.mediafire.com/?kwpz604swt04o0w (SGH-T999_stockMMS.zip)
Wait.. I see you have CM10 installed on your siggy, not sure this will work.
I have stock T999UVLH2. The only evidence of SMS support is that Messenger opens when I click on Text icon, but it doesn't actually do anything.
Are there any settings I'm missing?

Got my 360 yesterday and I'm loving it. I discovered that the Chomp SMS notifications don't get sent to the phone. Chomp does its notifications differently so I need to test the others, but I thought I'd ask. What do you use, and is it wear compatible?
I know Hangouts is compatible, so we can build a list of known good apps.
edit: Chomp tweeted at me and said it is compatible since version 6.21, but I couldn't make it work on mine. Might be missing a setting. Another user confirmed it worked on his phone/watch.
Wear Compatible (can reply from watch)
Hangouts
Textra
Evolve SMS
Go SMS Pro (able to pull up older messages from watch)
Handcent SMS
Chomp SMS (might require special settings)
I use Textra. It works great.

Doesn't have s specific app for wear but the notifications are passed through and the notifications allow you to respond directly from the watch.

Ok. I was reading about someone not being able to reply from a stock app on a Galaxy S5 I believe, so I'm not exactly sure what the app has to have to allow replying from the watch. Thanks for the report.
It has to have the ability to respond in the notification bar on thr phone I think....without opening the app....

Go SMS Pro is compatible with the Wear. It's the only way I know of that you can actually read through your existing (old) text messages and send a text from there. You just have to pin the messages from a particular contact to the top on the phone.
I found it odd that with the stock messaging app you can't simply read through your texts, but Go SMS Pro has figured out a way...

Wow, Textra is amazing! Thanks for this. The whole layout is solid, it works well with Light Manager and Nova Launcher Counter. You can reply, mark as read, and call. Seriously, that's better than stock sms and hangouts.
Is there any app which allows you to delete sms from wear? Hangouts does not allow that. I get a lot of SPAM messages and this would be really helpful.
I like Handsent SMS which also pushes to the wear. It is infinitely customizable.

I also want to thank you for bringing it up. I like it a lot. I love Hello SMS but it keeps having issues with MMS on T-Mobile. They update it often, but the latest versions I used started having a big bug that would crash the whole SMS system and I would have to reboot. The last version I tried to use was forcing me to sign up for a free SMS before I could use the app. That was the last straw.

Apparently it is compatible since version 3.6 I believe, but it didn't work on mine. Maybe I missed a setting? I'll update the OP. I'm using Textra now, so I'm not inclined to look into making Chomp work (at least as of now).

I love Textra and have been a long-time user BUT the one gripe I have about Textra & the Moto 360 is that when you mute notifications on the phone, you don't get the vibration from the text messages via Textra. You have the have the phone set on vibrate... I mean it's a small thing but I really do hope they change this.
Ok, I tried a bunch of them now and I think the only one which allows you to reply back from the watch directly is the SMS Go pro. It allows you to select reply and opens voice to compose txt and sends it, all on the Moto360. The others send you the notification to the watch, but then give you an option to open it on the phone to reply.

I just got my 360 on the 23rd. I noticed I get notifications for messaging but can't see them. I guess I need to change the app I use if I want to see them? Should I be concerned about privacy on any of these random apps?
