I have a strange problem with the stock messaging app on android 2.2.
When ever I receive picture messages they come though as a 4 second video. So I can view them but if I wanted to save the picture I cant as there is no option to save.
The only way round this which I'm using atm is to have Handcent installed as well & then from within handcent I can save the pictures because they don't appear in a video.
I've tried searching for an answer but every time I do i just seam to find topics about people having trouble sending messages :-(
If anyone could shed some light i would be most great full!
Thanks in advance!

Have any Captivate/Galaxy S forumers experienced the issue where, when replying to a text message right after it is received, your reply is placed BEFORE the text message on the threaded SMS view. It is a superficial issue I suppose, but it can get confusing trying to follow conversations and such.
Has anyone heard of this problem, or even better, a fix for it? I've tried setting the system time a few minutes later/earlier with no real results.
yes i have also noticed this myself. it is a pain sometimes
For me, the replies to my messages are actually date stamped 5 hours backwards so show up muchj earlier in a threaded conversation. I have not been able to find a working fix but a workaround was to install Handcent sms (free in Market). It threads everything properly and is actually a pretty nice widget that shows you the latest texts....
Would love a native fix however so please advise if you've found one...
I had this problem. I fixed it by manually setting the system time.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I'm having the same issue. For me it's related to texts coming from a different time zone. If I manually set my time to the time where the texts are coming from, everything is fine. I've been using Chomp SMS, which is pretty nice, but I'll try Handcent. When I restart the threads are correct sometimes but eventually get messed up again.
For me it's from every single phone number, no matter what the time zone. But i've temporarily fixed it with handcent, though the default sms client is classier looking.
Mine did this as well and to solve the problem go into your settings and manually adjust your clock 1 minute up so if its 12:30 set your clock to 12:31 and this solved my problem, hasnt messed up since i did this
When I send a text I usually press the home key after pressing send but I've noticed that when I go back to send another text the app shows an unread message to the person I sent the first message to! Im on the default messaging app but I don't use HTC Sense.
Anyone else noticed this? If not I'll try a factory reset.
same here, but only happens if u leave msg app too soon
I've noticed this too, it's pretty annoying. One of several bugs in the messaging app. I'm surprised how buggy it is, coming from the original Desire. Has anyone else noticed that the word prediction seems to be weaker than the Desire by a little bit?
I too have noticed this bug along with my reply to a message being shown above the one i'm replying to rather than below it if i don't wait at least 1 minute.
epicfail: u can fix it with downloading "SMS Time Fix" from market (free) and set it to "Adjust SMS to phone time"
Glad it's not just me. So is the answer to install a 3rd party text app? Can't wait to for s-off. I lost my Desire and it was replaced with a Desire S. The Desire S is OK but I really miss my Desire with Oxygen ROM
No matter what ROM I flash when I send a long text that converts to MMS it turns into random garbled characters. It appears to send fine on my end but whoever I send it to gets an unreadable text. This happens with every ROM and with any messaging app I try. I'll attach a screenshot of what it looks like. Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks
Also...
I have tried multiple messaging apps such as Handcent and I get the same results. I'm aware that I can split the messages into multiple SMS as a workaround but I really just want it to convert long messages to MMS like it supposed to and not send them as garbage. Thanks.
Ummmm.....I could be wrong, but I don't believe that has ever worked??? Have had my ns4g for over a year and it has always had to split SMS......or at least I have always set it to split......

Ok, that's kinda what I figured. Thanks for the quick reply.
Im using CM10.1, currently whenever i get an MMS with more than 1 picture it comes as a slideshow. I can't see the full picture unless i save it first. is there any way to turn this off? Im using the stock JB messaging app.
I have been having problem as well... Whenever I receive click on a slideshow, it displays for maybe max a tenth of second and then closes, so I have to download the image to view it. But then I can't see any text that was added in the slideshow. Understandably, this is quite frustrating. Have been looking for solutions but haven't found any.
I have posted here but recieved no answer. I figured my question belongs here anyway, so I won't bump the other thread.
I am trying to use Hangouts as my default SMS app (It is also currently the only SMS app installed on my device) because I do like it. However I noticed that sometimes I don't get any notification when I recieve a text message, no vibration, nor sound nor notification in the status bar. As a result, I miss quite a lot of texts. Notice that I do recieve those texts, if I check the app they are there, text bold to indicate they are not yet read. I just don't get the notification. Also, most of the time I do get the notifications without a problem. So to be clear, this is about some SMS's, not about all.
As far as I know this happens when I recieve the message very shortly after I put down my phone (my routine: send text, press 'backbutton' once to get in the hangouts overview, and then I press power to shut of the screen and put the phone down.) If I get a message let's say within half a minute of me turning of the screen I won't have a clue I recieved the message until I go look in hangouts to check. This happens often when someone is quick to respond to my own message, but could maybe be happening with other messages I recieve in that time. I don't think this happens to messages I recieve when the screen has been off for a time, but I can't say that with certainty.
I have a HTC One S currently running CM11, but I had this problem on stock ROM too. However never with the HTC stock messaging app.
I have found similar problems here on the forums, but no satifying answers. I hope someone has a solution?
