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.

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,

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.

Go to your call log and press menu > view by.
I know it can get messy sometimes with text messages showing up in the log.
For some strange reason you can't filter it do all calls though.
I tried looking for a better app than stock phone, couldn't find one that hasn't irritating bugs/features... it would be really great if grouping was applied in call log...
There is an alternate dialer called easy dial pro from ISOL which looks like it can do the job, but it force closes on my phone when I start it. Give that a try.

Is there any good app out there for sending my business card info, or just sending my contact info to someone rather than having to type it all out. I am on the go alot and I plug peoples numbers in and would love to be able to just shoot them over my selected contact info through like SMS. But doesn't seem to be anything out there to do that. I found one app, but only info it will send is Name - Number - Email. I want something that will send all the info in the contact info of my phone, including my website etc... The app I found which is very limited and I don't like is called "Share Contacts Via SMS"
Thanks
bump it up
I use Handcent for many features including this one. You can attach a contact as a vCard or plain text, and you get a checkbox next to each item to include (numbers, emails, addresses, photo). Can't believe this isn't in the stock app!
If you do this a lot and the problem is just re-typing it, you can create and save a template with this info. In the stock SMS app, go to Menu->Settings->Templates. The icon in the upper right will let you create and save a template. Then when you are in the conversation/new message screen, Menu->Insert Template, pick the one you made.
But I would also recommend checking out handcent. I don't use this feature but it's a great app that packs a lot of good stuff.

This is in the stock Messaging app? If so, I don't see anything regarding templates.
Yeah, I don't see this template option in the stock messaging app. And I don't want to use handcent. Any other suggestions

Oh? I have a themed version of the stock app installed, though I stopped using it a while ago myself in favor of handcent. Perhaps the capability was added in by the person who themed it. I know his version of the dialer adds t9 dialing, but there's no note of added functionality on the mms link.
If you like or just don't mind the theme, the one I have is here.
I like the idea of the pop up browser, but would only use from time to time. For apps asking how to open up a link, I tell them to open using my default browser always because that's how I want to view most of the time.
Is there a way to call up the pop up browser on demand from links? I'm thinking if I could long tap a link or double tap a link, it could open the link in the pop up browser. Keep in mind the source of the link could be any app, another browser, G+, Facebook, etc.
I know there is a mod to launch a stand alone popup browser, but I don't think that solves what I am asking about.
The developers of Air Calc have had a floating browser for a long time. They are currently making it available for 4.0+ android devices, i believe. I tried to download it to my Note 2 but it is not yet available.

...or at least offer "open link in popup browser" as a choice...that would have been the right way to implement this, because heck if I'm going to leave the defaults off so that 99.99999% of the time when I click a link destined for a full browser I then have to select "Browser" and then press "Just Once" all to open a simple web page. At the very least they could have put in a checkbox in the app selector box that would select the tapped browser in "Just Once" mode the moment you tap, so you don't have to confirm each time.
Sorry, I don't have a solution, I'm just completely echoing your sentiment about this.
I have a bookmark on the home screen that is defaulted to the pop up browser.
It is the only way I know to get the pop up browser on demand.
I press and hold link, copy url, press home button, hit my bookmark (I renamed pop up), then paste the url.
Hope this helps.
You can set the pop-up browser as default and hit the button on the top left to open the page up in the regular explorer.
Only problem is that this will open the stock browser. Which is frustrating if you usually use a third party browser like me!
Does anybody know how to make the top left button in the pop-up browser open Chrome rather than the stock browse?
That would be nice because I have all my data synced to Chrome.

Mine automatically opens in chrome when I click the top left button without setting anything up, I checked and there are no defaults set for either.

How did you accomplish this? Is there a pop up settings menu to set your default browser?
For everyone, floating browser flux in the play store might be an option.

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.
