MMS attached images playing like movies - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

In the native messaging app, attached images don't show a picture thumbnail like they do in third party apps like GO. Instead, there is a little play button and it opens a little media player. But on some ROMs that I've flashed, it has been an image thumbnail that would open an image. That leads me to believe that there is a setting somewhere that affects this. Is there a way to change how MMS behaves to attachments?

custom wallpaper problem

I am making some custom wallpapers for my Incredible, and am running into a few problems.
I am using photoshop and saving my pictures as JPEGs. They are 960x800 px.
They pretty big files, usually 1.5meg.
When I put the pictures on my sdcard, and I go to change the wallpaper, I go to gallery, then find the picture I have put on, and when I select the picture, it acts like it goes to the resize portion of the process, but then it just goes back to the gallery.
I have also tried loading the wallpaper straight through ASTRO file manager, with no luck either.
I'm sure I am missing something terribly simple, but I can't find it online.
Any help would be great. Thanks
There is an attachment of one of the images.
The problem is that we are 480x800

i dont think thats the problem. i cant even view the photo in gallery right. is there a limit to the size of the jpg?
The image that uploaded to the website is only 92.3kb. Just downloaded it and set it as a wallpaper no problem
1.5mb for a 960x800 image is HUGE.
I just played around with it for a bit and I think I figured out what your doing. Is your image properties set to cmyk (32bit)? That would explain why your file size is so big. Change it to rgb (24 bit). I'm thinking the android platform doesn't play to nicely with cmyk files.
I'm going to upload my cmyk file and see if this website automatically converted it to rgb on upload, which is what im thinking happened to your upload here.
Edit: yep that's exactly it. The website converted it, the attachment that was uploaded was 1.2mb and I just downloaded it; 94.3kb.
Awesome thanks for your help. I will switch it to rgb when I get home and try it out and report back

i highly recommend using wallpaper set & save instead of the stock wallpaper chooser.

Gallery app

I have been using my infuse for about a month now, coming from using iphone since it came out long ago.
One of the most annoying things i have noticed is when I try to see a pic or a video using the default gallery app, it shows all the folders with images eg.music albums, is there an app or a way of just accessing the camera folder only?
Thanks .

Copy a blank text file with the file name ".nomedia" into each folder you don't want to appear in the gallery.
I've been using Quickpic from the market on my cappy instead of the gallery for a while now. Really like it and you can hide or exclude certain folders. it's a bit faster than the stock gallery (at least on the cappy anyway).
I think there may be a way to keep the gallery from looking in certain folders similar to how you can block sound files from music players (put a .nomedia file or something like that in the folder you don't want).

Its blazing fast even on Infuse. Replaced my stock gallery app immediately!

Why does an MMS picture always show up as a slideshow?

When somebody sends me a (one) picture by MMS it always shows up as a slideshow and I have to press play to see it. It's really annoying because you can't zoom on the pic, you have to save it then click on it.
This didn't use to happen with my Xperia X10. Is this a setting on our phones?
exists with the whole galaxy line. the way around is to use another app for your sms needs.
They all do that. Unless there is a specific app u had in mind.

attaching picture in SMS causes 'unsupported media format' message

if I've taken a picture With My phone and then try to attach that picture in an SMS I get an 'unsupported media format'. Yet I can attach the pictures in whatsapp no problem. I can open the pictures and modify them (crop, rotate etc...) and it all works fine.
anybody know the solution.

Samsung gallery app question

I am using the leaked JB rom and runs great. I would like to be able to organize photos in my gallery app. You know, kids, pets, house ert in their own gallery. I cannot seem to see how to do this even with new pics.
Or is there a better app?

Hmm. I think there are only a few options..
1. Hook the phone up to a computer and make different folders for the different photos.
2. Alternatively, you could go in to your files and create folders from the phone and move the pictures that way, but I think the computer is easier.
Once you've done that, I believe there is a setting in the camera app that allows you to save pictures wherever you want, such as one of those folders. Not perfect, but I think these are your only options.
Don't know which ROM you are on but Synergy Gallery has the option to add albums from the gallery, you hit menu in the gallery and select new album.
That's a good question, I've been wondering the same thing..
