Mms pictures

Why do all my mms pictures that people send me have a big play button over it? Is there a way to remove this? I've been in a jailbroken iPhone for a long time and this is my first android any help would be greatly appreciated

click on the picture should enlarge it.

Come on man I realize that. I was just hoping there was a way to remove the play button from a picture. I could understand it being there on a video but not a pic.

LOL its cool. it really doesnt bug me. well no it doesnt lol i mean i still have to click it to make enlarge.

This problem plagues tons of android 2.2.x devices...captivate and atrix included. They located the problem and patched it in CM7 for SGS. When we get it ported, the problem will go away.

Does anyone have problems receiving MMS pictures from iPhone users?? I tend to get a long message saying "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."
I used to get a similar message on the Atrix. Why the hell does this happen??

Not an Android issue, it's AT&T wanting to give you a "multimedia experience" which annoys the hell out of me. Once the ROMs come out, it'll be gone. It was the same with the HTC Aria, Samsung Captivate, and HTC Inspire 4G... With my last phone, Inspire 4G, any rom applied broke the play-button thing, so photos just showed up like on normal phones.
Why must AT&T try to get their hands all over everything? It's so annoying.

First thing I did when I got my phone was delete the stock samsung mms app and replace it with the stock aosp mms app
I use SUFBS but root explorer does the same....

Sending a pic to yourself will always work. Is your phone rooted?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

you might have trouble downloading on wifi or while plugged in to pc.

Turn off your wifi when you send and receive a picture message

Did you happen to mess with the build.prop file at all?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

No I did not mess with the build. But my wifi is always on but is never connected. So say I have to leave it off at all times? Many thanks for the reply.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

No, you should be able to leave it on. I have mine on right now as I'm typing this and I've an mms..
I assume you have restarted you phone multiple times. Have you been able to send/receive photos before?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

Before I can send no problem. Receiving is a hit or miss. Now all I getting is download fail.
Rom is ultimate 1.0

I was going to say, I can never send MMS messages while on wifi calling, I have to turn it off, but if you aren't using wifi calling, must be something else!

Actually my friend's phone is doing the same thing. Message failed after multiple attempts or something like that. Are you running a ROM or is the phone stock?

are you sending the text in e164 format +1xxxxxxxxxx
Depending on what part of the US I'm in it's hit or miss, but when only using 10digits it's always worked.

STOCK 2.3.4 GINGERBREAD

Im rooted and cant MMS from any Rom Ive tried

Pics turn multimedia?

Can someone please advise how to make my pics I receive via text to not run as a 5 second video? I'm not sure what I did but I'm certain it didn't do this initially.

Are you using stock messaging app or something else? Which ROM?

my mms have been doing this since android 1.1
yeah.

This is how the GSM network sends Android MMS'. If you find a friend with a Sprint or Verizon CDMA Android device, you'll see it just sends as a photo. Crazy, huh?

Actually I believe this is how Samsung devices handle it. Although I can speak for cdma devices, I know my atrix and nexus one didn't do this. Its just houw the stock app works. If you use a different app like go SMS the problem is gone.
I like the landscape view in the stock app which is why I didn't make the switch myself.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Yes I'm using the stock ROM and the original mms app. I guess perhaps it did this since day one but I'm realizing it now lol. Appreciate your responses and I may try a different mms app.

Keep getting these random text messages

Any one know how can I fix this I keep getting these random text messages

Haha I thought I was the only one! I can go days at a time with none and then one day I get 3-5. Are you on sprint as well?

Yeah I forgot to add I'm on sprint NS 4g stock rooted with stock kernel.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

I recall someone posting that these are a result of the NS4G mishandling emergency alert notifications through that system the government partnered with US carriers to implement. Unfortunately, I have a GSM NS, so I didn't pay much attention to whether there was a fix.

Been getting similar messages maybe a couple a day, no number shows up. Thursday night I got 76 of these. I'm on Sprint.
Here is what mine shows:

It's just an error with Sprint's network, normally you wouldn't even see them but they show up on custom ROMs.

everything I've seen about these go back to it being an issue with the emergency broadcast system, it something to that effect. they are not rom related, & I've seen reports of them on several different phones, not just the ns4g.
