Switched over to TB from Nexus1 and the stock sms app and now when I attach a picture to an SMS it automatically creates a slideshow. I just want a single pic attached I hate how it comes through as a slideshow and dont want to send the picture out that way. Is there anyway to solve this problem short of a 3rd party app or rooting and getting rid of senseui (For the record I have installed Handcent for now and plan on rooting and getting rid of sense just not there yet)
I'm confused to what you mean? If you just put one picture in it won't send it out as a slideshow. I have sent a bunch of MMS and no one ever gets it in slide-show form.
It creates the template and will convert it to a slideshow mms message if you add another picture, but for just one it shouldn't be doing that. Are you on the stock rom?
Yes stock and unrooted. It states it is creating a slideshow with one photo, I never sent it out to check and now for the second time in 10 days all of my sms and mms are gone, i restored them all from SD Card when I got the new phone and they have all disappeared
Yeah check with someone who you sent it to first, it always makes it look like it is making it a slideshow, but that is just preparing it in case you decide to add an additional photo.
Got it thanks, stock app didn't handle it that way and I hate when I get pictures as slideshow
I'm noticing this with picture messages that are being sent to me. I've gotten one from two different people in the past week and both are slideshows. It's kinda annoying and not sure how to fix it.
YES, it is extremely annoying. It did that with the EVO on Sprint, and my friend's Vibrant on T-Mobile does it also.
You have to tap it and pause it to view it for more than a few seconds and you can't zoom.
Pic quality viewing when you get it by text seems to suck as well.
I just sent htc an email about this when i get a response back I will post what they say

Same here.. had a friend send me some pics through sms. I asked him how he sent them as a slideshow.. he said, I didn't. Now I realize it's my phone doing it. It only happens from certain people though. He was using an iPhone.
Been like this since HTC released Android 2.2 with sense. My dinc didn't do it on 2.1. Horrible idea wish they'd revert back.

I use handcent sms and never have this problem.
I don't like any of the stock apps with the droids.

So I just purchased a brand new Vibrant 4g for the amazing deal of only $250 after I sold my captivate for the same price the other night. I have a question that hopefully can be answered.
1. I have names in my messages? For example. My message might say "Me: How are you doing?" with the incoming being "*name here*: I am so awesome. Nothing can touch my awesomeness". This to me, is a complete waste of my messaging space since I can just look up top to see the name of who it is. My Captivate did not have this same "problem". I glanced through the settings but didn't notice a way to switch it off.
Thanks to anyone who could answer this for me, I really appreciate it. I may think of more questions eventually, but these are it for now.
So do you guys have this happen also? Do I need to post a picture?
That is just the way the default text messaging app displays messages. If you don't like it, I would recommend downloading another SMS app like Handcent which is fully customizable and doesn't add names.

Why didn't my Captivate do this then? It was basically the same phone just without the 4g...
So I can send mms no problemo however I cannot receive from particular people. Those particular people tend to be iphone 4 users. People with the older iphone seem to be fine. It's really only like 4 people but it's annoying.
My carrier is Wind Mobile.
android 2.3.4

all up to date and what not.

Personally, not getting messages from iPhone users would be a feature and not a problem...
However, I would call into tech support as this seems to be a carrier issue and not a phone issue.

Can they receive mms from you? Maybe their phone is sending it in a format your phone doesn't understand? Maybe iPhones can only talk to other iPhones because they think they're better than everyone else.

it's the opposite for me. I can receive pictures from my friend with an iphone, but they can't receive pictures from me. it says that the pictures are in a format that doesn't work or something
I forgot the details but reading your reply made me remember something. I remember in sending a text with a picture attachment, sometimes my phone would want to send it in a format that android phones understands as a slide show. I forgot how to get it, if possible, to send it as a regular picture. Don't send multiple pictures in one text, that will most definitely send it as a slide show. I forget if it's opening up the messaging program and select through menu to get an attachment or to use something like root explorer or quickpic and hold down on the file and select send then choose messaging. All pictures seem to be compressed heavily when sending with a text. If there was a picture that I didn't want compressed, I would just send it as an email to the other person if possible. I forgot what file types are allowed to be sent with a mms text. Try different combinations and methods of sending it, you might stumble across the way that sends it as a jpg or jpeg or whatever and not a slideshow pic. I think my htc evo and evo shift were notorious for that. I would try to send a pic to someone with a samsung android and they didn't know what to do with it or it was unknown file type or what. I think I figured out a way around that but forgot what I did.
I have the same issue with my wife's iPhone. If there is text and an image in one message I just get the text, as a caption, with a blank image. If she does not include text, I can see the image fine. So when she sends me a pictures I have to ask her to not put any text as a "caption."
I think it's possibly this is because iPhone assumes everyone only uses iPhones too. Typical of Apple philosophy to implement their own standards instead of universal standards.
If that's true then it's good to know for future reference.
So lately I've been having some annoying SMS/MMS issues that are starting to grind my gears and I'm starting to feel a bit of resentment over the phone.
I've been getting complaints of iPhone users receiving my SMS twice. I'm seeing that when this happens, I get a "message failed" error in other SMS apps other than the stock SMS app, and then it sends right away. This problem can be recreated on both the stock SMS app and Play Store apps.
I'm also getting this extremely annoying problem with MMS where I can't receive files bigger than 600 KB. I get the error "One or more of the message components have been deleted by MMS Adaptation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your terminal." This is happening on a message over 800 KB.
Has anyone experienced these issues? Is this carrier related? I refuse to believe that my phone will not receive 1 MB or bigger MMS messages, as I'm sure it's quite capable of doing.
Also, does anyone have the APN for HSPA+ without LTE? I'm thinking maybe the SMS problem has to do with the network I'm operating on. Please advise.
Edit: the MMS limitation is due to the stock SMS application. the limit for files received is 600 KB while other applications can download well over 1.2 MB. My problem is solved, I'll have to find another viable SMS application.

Hi,
Did you fix this issue with the recipient received your SMS 2 times?
I am using the stock app and never tried any Play Store app.
For me this happen to an Android Phone too.
Maybe your phone heard you were gonna take her back and now she's mad and is refusing to talk

My phone is send *and* receiving duplicate SMSes from iPhones. Very annoying.
Used to have problems
I used to have mms problems, but ever since i flashed the CleanRom 2.4 on my phone, everything has been peachy keen
coming from a heavily jailbroken iphone, I can say that I do love rooting a whole lot more. I love how android operates and is so similar to linux
OP, not sure which app you were using, but I know ChompSMS was producing the exact results you were reporting.
1) Multiple messages sent / SMS Failed etc. This will show up in both Chomp and the stock app. (FIXED by latest Chomp update!)
2) MMS Adaptation. I have found that this is specifically when iPhone users send you a screengrab of their display. Those are saved in .png instead of .jpg and do not share the same compression rate. Obviously you could just have a really big .jpg, but most likely it is the former.
3) General MMS issues. This will occur if you do not disable "Auto-retrieve" in the stock Messages app.
I know it's a week later, but hopefully this saves you a headache or trips to the AT&T store.
I had completely forgotten about chomp. Thanks for reminding me. I started using it and while I still get messages not sending if I reply to a text from the pop up notification, it doesn't do it nearly as much as go sms. With go sms, the message not sending would happen one after another but not with chomp. And even though I don't like the sound, I've set chomp to make a sound after a successful sent message so at least I can tell if my message has sent without having to open the app.
Thanks again for mentioning chomp

So i got my nexus 5 yesterday which was actually amazingly fast as i ordered on the 5th and when i ordered it was due to leave warehouse by the 12th so i was more then happy
Im loving the phone it takes all the thing i loved from my N4 and improves apart .
Now down to my issues i like the UI of Hangouts for my SMS its just the Contacts it is taking my Google + contacts and adding them to my phone contacts being everyone from there is basically in my contacts anyways it is duplicating them and maybe its a bit OCD by i have to have every contact only once with a picture if they don't have pics or are duplicated i get really frustrated. I had a similar thing when i used MIUI on my N4 but they allowed you to merge contacts or delete unwanted duplicates. So far i haven't been able to find this but it may be due to my frustration so if anyone can help or advise that would be great

A Hangouts conversation is being treated differently than a "SMS" conversation.
There is currently no way to merge the conversations even if it's with the same person.

Until they come up with a solution to this (by they I mean Google) then you can just download another app to use for messaging until hangouts is smoothed out better. Or you could use the old messaging app and just extract it or search for it online

First thanks to both of you for such a quick reply i have sorted the issue by downloading 8sms which it then let me set as default know idea why it wouldn't do it with chomp . I hope they do sort the problem as i do like the idea of hangouts being a sms app but uses messenger very similar to Whats app i guess. Just make it so you can merge the contact from your address book to the hangout contact like i said MIUI has something similar
Ok, so I had a Samsung for about a year and its stock messaging app worked very well with my 7k+ messages-- there was no lag or delay in opening up threads-- buttery smooth. I decide to come back to HTC with the M8 and it chokes every time I open a large thread taking about 20 seconds before I can see the thread. Is there messaging replacement that I can use that will handle large threads more gracefully, say by showing the most recent messages first and then pulling messages as I scroll back in time? Is there a flashable AOSP messaging app available? Is it possible to flash the Samsung messaging app on an HTC device?
Uninterested in the following-- if you're going to propose any of them then just move along and find another thread to expend your energies:
1. Commercial "solutions"
2. "Why would you want to do that anyway?"
3. "Hangouts works great"
Thanks in advance.

If it takes 20 seconds to open a thread, I would think you've got something wrong. But, Evolve SMS isn't bad.
I would recommend the verizon messages app because it allows your text and pic messages to send over wifi. My next choice would be handscent or go sms pro.

Ditto. I initially RAN from VZW messaging app but then I found that I quite like it. And in roaming areas I can text on wifi. And when I am texting at work I am able to text from my computer.
