Just switched from Evo to Infuse. The one main feature I am missing is the ability to long press on a picture on a web site and have the option of "share" with messaging app. And I dont mean copy a url into a text message. It would actually automatically copy the picture into a MMS message.
I use this feature so often believe it or not.
Does anyone know of I way to do this? I tried GoSMS app. I tried using Firefox, Stock, Opera, Dolphin browsers. On my evo the stock browser and messaging app would do this without problems.
Now it does give me the option to save the picture then go out and attach the image to the MMS. But does anyone know of a way to avoid the extra steps of having to store the image on their phones ect?
I really though all android phones would be able to do this. Maybe it is just a feature of Htc Sense?

I have been receiving my video MMS messages as a .JPG and .QCP file. Opening them up just shows a slideshow, 1 pic and the audio (which the play time is way off the actual length).. It seems others have experienced the same thing at one time but I can't locate an actual solution..
Any ideas on how I can restore the phone so that it applies the correct format to incoming video MMS messages?
Using the following:
Samsung Fascinate
JT's DJ05 Super Clean ROM v.09
StupidFast v1.54 Kernel
Solved the issue. You need to use Rom manager. Choose the Download Rom option, then choose Jt1134, go under Install stock applications and choose the MMS app.. Once the app installs and your phone restarts, video messages will receive correctly and give you the option of which video player to open it with..
Hope this helps anyone with MMS issues..
If your using another phone or ROM, try downloading and reinstalling the stock MMS application to get it to work..

Why would droid OS have all attachments in emails download into your gallery?
How can I stop it? I unchecked "download attachments", but as soon as I open the email to view the attachment, it downloads and puts a copy into my gallery. After vewing the pic, I have to go into gallery and delete it.
Is there anything I can do about this?
Question 2, I saved a pic from a MMS by pressing the and holding the pic. I saved to "SD card". when I go into gallery, its not there?
So for this droid has been okay, but why do they make things so difficult at times!
Any suggestions!
Downloads go into the download folder. While in the gallery you can select to view/hide this folder, or "album" by pressing the menu button. They may not show up immediately in the gallery due to a media scan being required.
i think this is a new bug in sense UI or something because i read this elsewhere about all png's and gif's and email attachment junk showing up in the gallery, and it should not be doing that in any way. like if i receive an email with a border around the email, that border should not be showing up in my gallery as a photo!!!!
so far i've not seen any solution to this.
Yep, I am glad some else is familiar with this!!! Can anyone else confirm this?
Same here. This is my first day on a non-Apple phone since 2007. This is top among a growing list of annoyances. And not just because "Apple doesn't do it that way" but because no one should do it that way.
I can confirm that on my AT&T Inspire 4G, every tiny little logo in everyone's signatures on my corporate email account has bloated my Gallery to over 200 images in one day. Only one of those images is one that I actually wanted to save from an MMS.
I've seen people posting suggestions about how to selectively disable the gallery from seeing certain folders by adding .nomedia files to those folders, but images saved from the Messages app get saved to the same folder as all the garbage harvested from email attachments, and I would like to see those.
This needs to be fixed. People shouldn't be fiddling in the file system for something as basic as browsing the photos on their phone.
Yep I agree 100%, there must be a way for us new guys to do away with this. I am sure it can be done if I would root my phone, but also myself coming from a Iphone, jailbreaking was a easy task. After reading the steps involved in rooting, I do not feel comfortable, I simply don't understand the language. I would love to root it and unleash this beast.
no idea if this will work on the inspire, but on the captivate to get a folder to not show up in gallery you had to put a file called .nomedia in the folder you don't want included.
An easy way to get this is from a command prompt: adb shell
then do touch .nomedia /whatever/folder/you/want it in.
I'm guessing this is only using the sense email app. I don't have a problem with this using gmail. I would suggest using a different email app until HTC gets an update out. Downloading and setting up a different email app takes way less time than deleting hundreds of images daily. Make sure you contact HTC support in regards to bugs and security. Files and pictures being auto downloaded is a pretty big security hole IMO.
I called att today and they called HTC, they never heard of this issue. They are sending me a new phone to replace mine!
I switched over from an iPhone 4 to an Atrix, and one of the features that I truly miss is that before sending an email with attachments, the iPhone would allow me to select an image size/resolution.
Anyone know of an app/method to do this on Android?
Stock gmail app doesn't seem to resize anything at all, nor do I see an option/preference to do so.
Thanks guys.
Sorry to drag this back from the depths, but did you ever find a practical (ideally free) solution to your problem?
Nope. Google needs to seriously work on this feature.
lol indeed, well thanks for the quick reply.
Np, let us know if you find a feasible solution lol.
This annoys the hell out of me too. It really should be built into the gmail app. I guess there are times when you'd want to send a 2MB image to someone via email but usually you don't.
The intuitive approach for me is to go to the gallery where I can easily browse photos, and then "share" the photo straight to the gmail app. Going to gmail then browsing the filesystem for the image is not as smooth (imho). So some of the resizing apps don't suit me.
Here is my current solution - an app called Image Shrink Lite. It lets you go to the gallery and "share" to Image Shrink Lite, then choose the size, then "share" again to gmail.
It's still clunkier than it should be of course but it is the best option I have found so far.
Seems like a decent solution, it isn't ideal but it works whenever you do need to shrink an image. Thanks for the tip!
My solution is setting up my gmail account in the email app that came with my s3. When I need to send pjotos i attach them and a menu pops ip asking me if I want to resize my photos. Annoying that google doesn't have that as well.

Well ****, so it does.
You can't share TO the email app (which I think would be ideal), but attaching a picture from Email allows you to resize to 70,30 or 10% original size.
So I was looking through my gallery today and noticed I have a ton of images downloaded or screen-shoted from Chrome that I used to send in MMS. I'm aware that in iOS you can just copy an image from Safari and paste it into a message without having to download a local copy. I would really like this functionality on my phone so I don't end up with a bunch of silly pics in my gallery.
Anyone know a solution for this?

It depends on the browser. I can do that using puffin browser. Just long-press the image, tap Share, tap SMS app or Hangouts and choose the contact.
I think not possible with Chrome.

That's what I figured. I've read that people with the stock Samsung TouchWiz browser could do this. Guess I need to try some different ones. Anyone have a recommended one that supports this function?

I can recommend you UC browser that is faster and saves more battery than chrome and has that function. Puffin Browser also does it and looks like Chrome PC version (they have a free and paid version which supports flash)
There are many other you can try like the AOSP, Firefox, Opera and Dolphin, but I'm not using them and can't confirm if those have the feature.
You are free to explore.
The problem is that when i'm trying to save an MMS sent to me through a third party SMS app, it'll save the file as "null" or basically a file without the ".jpg" extension. When this happens the picture doesn't show up in any imaging viewing app. The only way to view it is to either attach the .jpg extension to it by renaming or by going into a file manager and "open as..."
When the file saved is 450-501KB, it'll save as null 75% of the time.
Anything higher or lower saves correctly 100% of the time.
To avoid this problem, I have to use Hangouts. It seems immune from this issue. Every other third party app, Chomp SMS, Handcent, Go SMS, Textra and Hello SMS has the problem.
I know for sure this issue happens on SlimKat ROM and AICP ROM with stock kernels and ElementalX/Franco kernels.
EDIT: Issue present on CarbonROM now too. Gonna test these ROMs again but with no apps installed other than the thirdy party app.
