Hi fellow WP7 users!
My friend has just sent me a picture message from his iPhone 4 to my LG Optimus 7, but I can't get the phone to show the picture. I'm not sure if it's a picture attached to a text or if it's a picture sent as an MMS.
This is how it appears on my phone on the Inbox home list:
[My friends name here]
Media content in this message
When I click it, the conversation thread shows up. Then it shows an underlined clickable link that says Get media content now. Clicking it makes it show Getting media content. But then nothing comes out of it.
I apologize if the same issue has been asked somewhere in this forum and resolved by the community. I did go through several threads that seem relevant, but I couldn't find anything like this. Thanks.

i heard somewhere and cant remember where that android can send picture and text messages to the wrong contacts and that the sender will only see the issue when they go to thier sent iteams box and see that the message was sent to the wrong or multiple people. is this true?
Partially.. There was a bug which happened to a very small number of people which changed the person who you were sending the message to. It only occured when you quickly opened up the Messaging app and clicked on a contact when all the elements haven't fully loaded.
If you simply look at the "Send Message To:" text box you could prevent this problem.
And, Google has stated they're working on a fix and it should be released soon. It'll be up to the networks and manufacturers to integrate them (Samsung -> TouchWiz) into their ROMs.
There are many reputable sites talking about this very issues. The fact that google has sent out information saying they are addressing the issues lets you know it is one. Not sure how many peopel it affects. The post above mine gives a great explanation.
My evo does this all the time, to some extent. It doesnt SEND to the wrong person, but when I click a person's thread in the messaging app, sometimes it wont go to that person's thread, and go to someone completely random. So if I dont look to make sure im texting the person I want to, it could go to someone else.
The right pane of the notification area says "Select a notification" but nothing happens when I select any notification. I have few question for which I need answers.
1. When I go to notifications in the desktop software, I dont see the entire message in a notification and when I click on it, nothing appears on the right. How can I see the full message?
2. While using whatsapp, I keep getting lots of messages like "6 messages from 2 conversations." How do see these 6 messages? Nothing happens when I click on it.
3. For example if I get a whatsapp message from my friend Bob with a message "Hey.... how is it going? wanna make some plan for the evening? im free after 5, leave a message when free", the message will pop up with a full message for a glimpse but it will disappear after a while and then it will go to the notification panel like this:
Code:
[B]John[/B]
Hey.... how is it going? wanna make some p..
Now here if john sends another message, the notification panel will say:
Code:
[B]John[/B]
2 new messages
The second following message will not be shown on the notification panel. While in a meeting or at a place away from my phone, I can use my laptop to view notifications but cannot see because the notifications are grouped with messages like "9 messages from 5 conversations.". Is there any solution to this?
4. I was not able to find notifications in the Web interface of android, It has messages, apps, files, photos, muic, ringtones, videos, call logs, contacts, frequent, screenshot, camera, find phone and help but no notification. Is that to be installed somehow?
5. A lot of search on this brought me to this AirDroid topic of xda. So far I got only one place to look for my notifications. Thats in the C:\AirDroid\AirNotify100.db area. I opened that database in SQLite 3, it had all the fields like OWID, ApkID, Title, Content, MsgID, MsgDate, MsgFrom, Ptype, AppInfo, IsRead but the content and other things are in encrypted form. Any idea how to decode that? I added the decoding question in the general discussion too http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/sqlite-3-read-encrypted-messages-t2982672
Thanks
been doing some digging on this and I think the answer is eventually going to be no for all but figured I'd run it by and see if anybody has any good workarounds.
Major messaging issues with this watch are:
1. Can't see whole text thread from single sender or group chat. Only most recent messages shows in notifications section left of the watchface. I've seen videos of users accessing the whole thread by swiping up on notification or by going to the messages app on the app wheel. Neither work for me. Swipe up does nothing and I have no dedicated messaging app to select. I've looked to dl a Samsung gear messaging app from Galaxy store but can't find one.
2. Picture messages don't come through on text. It just says "picture". Again have seen video of users of this watch see the physical picture appear on the watch in a text notification and in-line when scrolling through a text chain. Again can't seem to do this at all.
3. A distant third is doodle. Can't send them. Every time I try I get an error message on the watch that reads "can't send multimedia messages from gear to this type of phone." I've tried sending them to iPhones, Android, even Samsung phones, get the same message every time.
Tried vetting these issues with Samsung tech support over the phone, thoroughly worthless. Hoping to find someone with a brain here.
For reference, on big red pixel 2 xl, Google messaging app.
Thanks in advance!
I have a bit of a strange question - searched but couldn't find any info.
I have an S21 Ultra on Android 11, however I believe this isn't phone-specific and effects older versions of Android as well.
When you want to share something on Android, you click the share button in whatever app or item you're looking to share. A sharing menu appears, and gives suggestions on both apps to share with, and also contacts to share directly with.
My issue is that my main contacts are NEVER suggested.
As an example, I message 2 people multiple times per day using Signal (much more than any other contacts), and every time I want to share anything with them, I get suggestions for various other contacts on Signal, but never the 2 I actually want. I then have to choose Signal, then chose the specific contact(s) to share.
I've attached a screenshot of what I mean.. It shows the menu that appears directly after hitting share. In this case I've picked a photo, clicked share, and on the top line it's suggested 2 x Signal contacts and 2 x Whatsapp contacts. And none of the 4 suggested are regular contacts.
Is there anyway to enforce certain suggestions for sharing?
TIA
bump
This is the stock "Messages" app version 1.121.492-rcs-Rel in the Moto G stylus 5g XT2131-1. This app is super glitchy and annoying the &@$# outta me.
First off, my contacts transferred correctly including message history but some were missing names.
2. Everytime I manually save a new contact I'm told "Contact not saved." However it is saved!
3. The messages app will prompt me to save a Group text with a title every time I respond to the already established thread. I have to enter a title and save before my response is sent. Now I have 12 group threads for the same damn convo.
4. Even though all settings are correct, I'm receiving read receipts checkmarks and see when people are typing and they see mine.
I'm running Android 11 build RRES31.Q3-60-47-2-2-2 on stupid T-Mobile.
Anyone else?
My only suggestion is to ditch the stock app and use Textra
