I've been trying to get the perfect resolution for my favorites with my TP. And for some reason, no matter what size the photo is, the same thing happens. Can anyone help?

It has been mentioned before but not in a while,
add the contact to favourites
then select change picture through the favourites menu

Tried that. Same result.
I haven't tried it yet but I think the answer was in part that the contact photo cannot be the outlook/exchange photo. Move the photo to your Fuze then set it.

This may sound a little strange, but I actually like the default user avatar (the blue-ish/green icon) that is set when you first flash lollipop. I was messing around and tried out a few custom images, but then I decided I like the look of the default image more. The thing is, I can't figure out how to reset the image. I'm only able to choose an image or take a new one with the camera.
Anyone know of a way to do this? Without having to reflash anything?

Google search for the default avatar. Add it to your gallery and chose it. Sorry, I can't find an easier way.
This is picture is synchronized with your GMail account so you have to use this picture or remove any avatar picture.

For me it is not synchronized with my gmail account picture on Nexus 5, but IS synchronized on Nexus 7. Weird.
It's not synced with my gmail (or google, rather) account picture either. That's what I was expecting as that's how it's worked in all previous versions of android.
Hmmm...
Not synced with mine either btw

Pull down from the top twice and tap the avatar. Tape thi icon and click more settings at the bottom of the page. Tape you icon to open profile info, then tape your avatar. You can change it from here, but I am not sure you can go back to the default avatar (Shadow man).

Yeah, you can't go back. It only lets you choose an image from the gallery or take a new photo with the camera.
I tried googling for the default avatar, but my either my google fu is weak, or no one has bothered to rip it out of the stock image.
I'm probably missing something dumb, because this seems like a basic thing, and I'm not finding it when searching on Google or XDA.
In CM 11, I could long press on a picture in the messaging application, and get an option to save or export to SD card/internal storage. On CM 12 messaging, I do not get any menu when long pressing.
When I click on a picture it opens in the gallery app, where I have an option to set as wallpaper or print, but still no option to save to SD/internal storage.
If MMS come in as a gallery, I can save those. But I can't figure it out for an individual image.

I'm wondering the same thing to
I use hangouts app do you use the native messaging app or hangouts?
theres no option to share?
try clearing .nomedia files from wherever and recycle the media engine through a reboot.
do you use quickpic? as a gallery app? ,thats how I got rid of all my problems sometimes the stock gallery app doesnt see the new images.

When hangouts first started to allow SMS integration, I didn't like the way it handled it, but they have changed the interface quite a bit. It does let me download messages, so I'll try it for a bit.
With Quickpic and the CM Messaging App I still don't get an option to save the files. When I click on a picture, it lets me open it in quickpic or any other registered image viewer, but they don't have download options, just 'set as. for wallpaper.'
Ideally I like the CM messaging app, and would like to use it. But too many family members can't be convinced to email me pictures at a higher quality, and instead want to send via MMS.
bump again.
I've been using hangouts, but I miss like the CM Messanger app better.
Thread necro because is three months later, and I still have to switch to hangouts in order to save the pictures people send via MMS.

Same problem for me. I don't think there's a way to do it, but if there is, I haven't found it. Been switching to Hangouts just to save as well, pain in the butt because CM is much better looking and smoother. Plus no resize issues without Xposed.
I just started taking screen shots as mms pics are low quality anyways, just a little hack you guys might want to try. Quicker than moving to hangouts.
Long press the text area of the picture message

I found the answer in a reddit thread > Can't save MMS pictures - CM12
"Long press in the text area of the photo. > three dots upper right hand corner. > save attachments. "
counterintuitive really.... but that's the way it seems to work
the attachment then appears in the usual "Download" folder
Thanx for that! Not exactly like that but I found it helpfull so: long press in the text area of the photo>three dots upper right hand corner>message details>tap on image>save.

All you need to do after tapping the three dots is tap save attachment. You are adding three extra steps doing it the way you say here.

Doesn't work for me. I long press on the text area of the photo, click the three dots, and my options are: Lock; Message Details; Select All. Any advice?
Like the OP, I can't convince my family members to email pictures. So I'd really like a working option for saving pictures in Messaging.
EDIT: This worked: Long press the area to the right or left of the picture>touch the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner ( not the menu button at the bottom, each has different options)>touch message details.

Thanks! This worked for me, also. I just use Messaging+ to save them, but like the default Messages more. Have been looking for days...
This is exactly how mined worked. Others didn't.
This post is kind of old but anyways I think this will be helpful for some people:
1. Keep pressed over the subject of the MMS and the options will appear.
2. Go to the options (three dots) and select "Message Details".
3. Select the picture you want to save.
4. Click "Save" and it will be saved into your "Downloads" folder.
You are welcome.

Now that Samsung in their INFINITE wisdom has taken out the menu button. Can someone confirm to me how to delete photos directly from Gallery? No.. not from File Manager or 3rd party software. Just the standard Gallery App that came default. If I wanted to go through my pictures and delete certain ones, then how? I can hold down on some pics and tag/select. There is a SHARE button on there but nothing else. No editing, No rotate option, no print, no move options. NOTHING.
REALLY unhappy about this.
Please help..
When you tap and hold on the picture, above it shows three options SHARE, DELETE, MORE.
Also if you just tap and open the picture, on the bottom it shows more options as well.
This did not work. The only option I have is to share-not to delete. Very frustrating. Anybody know how??
What changes have you made to your phone. I never use the regular gallery but it is easy to use

What have you done to your phone since getting it? ROOT? Custom ROM? IF neither i'd factory reset as all those options are available on a normal S6. You can press delete on the little icon on the bottom of the picture or you can hold down on a pic and the delete option comes up.

Simply change the category top left from categories to anything else and your issue will be resolved. Not sure why delete is not an option when you are on categories.
Same problem here!!
And you press on Help, it says to tap on "delete" even though they should no there's no Delete!!! Only Favorite, Share and Editor....Very frustrating!
Do this
Close gallery then Access gallery from camera. Select camera. Then tap bottom right icon. Select album. Or gallery I think. All photos there with delete option
Deleting from Samsung Galaxy S6
Go to Gallery
In the top left hand corner it gives you options to change your gallery display to time, albums, events or categories
Tap Time
Then tap the image you want to delete
then tap the screen
there should be 4 icons on the bottom the fourth one should be delete.
Thanks! Changing from "Categories" to "Time" allowed me to delete the photos. When I was under "Categories", the delete option would not appear.

Go to setting. Application manager gallery clear cache force stop. It should go back to being able to delete photos.
Go to settings , storage, used space then select pictures and videos. Make sure you open with photos as you get all images. Have fun deleting
This really worked for me! I changed the Category to like ALBUMS and I was able to delete an image, Yay!!Thank you!

I had to download an alternate camera app and access my pictures from there
Click on the album where your pics are located. Click more then click edit. Select the pics or all photos then click delete. I just did it 3 times. It works.

When taking a picture in the camera app then tapping the picture in the bottom right corner to view it, I am taken to a random one of my photos. Anyone know why this is? Date and time are perfectly fine btw.

try backup all your photos somewhere else, delete the DCIM folder and take some picture. The new DCIM folder will be created. Happen once to me on 8.0.
Hi guys, can anyone tell me what does the setting located immediately under the QR scan setting? All this inside Camera app settings. In English should say something like "Save the original picture too" (I have my phone in Spanish). I have this activated, but no idea what it suppose to do. Thanks!
Hmm for example u edited a photo I think it will save the original photo just if u mess up.

I understand, so it seems more like a gallery setting than a camera one. I will try this to be sure. Thanks
