[Q] all mms shows as video - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Does any one know of a fix for MMS messages ( pictures / pitctures with text) coming in a slideshow? I know I can use a third party app , but I like the stock one. I did like the mms app from AOKP but it FC when trying to send/recieve a picture message . Any suggestions

I too would like to know. I have always had that problem when receiving pics even though they weren't sent in a slideshow and it bugs the hell out of me that I can't zoom in on the pics cause they're on a slideshow.

It's something with the app itself, if you install a 3rd party sms app it doesn't do it but yea it's annoying as heck.

please help with sms notifications and gallery

HI Everyone,
i am so new to the andriod system, and coming from my nokia my life is rather difficult atm. I am after 2 things 1 x when i recive an sms i always have to drag the the notification bar down to get the sms, is there an app that when i get an sms or miss a call it syncs with my led notification and pops up on my screen so i just need to tap it away i go to see the missed call or sms?
and 2 is there an app to replace that stupid mediascape ? so i can view my galleries of movies and pictures better ? that mediascape is so crappy it drives me up the wall.
i have unbrabded X10a
firmware 1.6 Build number R2BA026 rooted phone that i managed to do yesterday. thanks for the help in advanced.
For your sms try downloading handcent sms from the market.
I haven't found a gallery app that gives me photos AND videos but if you wanted something better looking for photos try just pictures app also from the market.

I am ok with the mediascape, with the upgrade of Android 2.1, the speed for the mediascape should be improved.

If you don't want to install an entire sms program like handcent you can download sms popup from the market. You'll still use the default sms app(which i think is pretty nice) but it will give you a popup that you can reply/close/delete directly from.

oh that is perfect that is what i want. i will look into that one. thanks heaps.

Fixing the sms bug?

Well, I dont have mms but when I go over my limit for sms, its converts it into mms. I my stock eclair 2.1 it would make a second sms message and send each out seperately, how do i get mine to do that...? If you i use go sms pro, the person that recieves a message longer than one page long gets **** like #$%#$%#$% Im on the superclean rom for the showcase.
Kind of lost me with your wordage but if you want to use GO SMS, under Send Settings in GO SMS check the box for splitting up long SMS messages. It should then send them as multiple SMS and not convert it to MMS.
If you're saying you've tried that and people are getting screwed up messages, then try another SMS application, such as Handcent.
I have the same problem with long messages coming in like garbage but I am just using the SMS messaging that came with the phone.
I have Showcase, Froyo, pnp v3
Yeah +2 for GO SMS, it is great and can fix your problems.

I removed the sms app that came with my mez and replaced worth handcent...I've never been back! Its great, but I'm sure go and and chomp sms etc are all better than what ships with sgs...just wish I could find a way to fix mms in aosp and I'd be set ;-)

How did you remove the stock messaging icon from the bottom of the screen?

[Q] Help with MMS!

I have Chomped SMS. It doesn't do MMS? Or it doesn't do MMS on MY phone... It shows the pic in the screen but it never sends (called friend to confirm). I've got EB Froyo 1.05 with Faux's Kernel and Honeycomb theme.
Superior app
Handcent SMS is superior to Chomp SMS.
Handcent just works. Sadly to say.
I like Chomp's look and everything, but it has these little bugs..
Handcent has been working just fine and dandy.
Handcent user here, but it has bugs of its own, I sometimes miss texts, or fail to download the MMS for some reason, etc..throw in a few multiple texts here and there, but overall it's the best SMS app I have seen
+1 handcent is the best imo also...

Handcent is the best.

I have handcent and like it for the most part but I absolutely cannot send mms with it, I just get the constant rotating circle next to the message. So everytime I have to go to stock messager to send mms and it always sends immediateley.

I love go sms. I think is the best one

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.

[Q] - Inverted MMS app is breaking my MMS. Any way I can fix it?

I am using Genesis v1 Beta 9. MMS was working before I installed the inverted one. I found a different inverted MMS app that worked, but it was sub-par on looks and usability (wouldn't display contact names, only numbers).
When I try to send or receive mms, my signal bars gray out and the H disappears momentarily, then I am told there was an error downloading.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? Obviously the regular mms and the other inverted one got it right...but also, no one else has complained about broken mms on the forum where I got the faulty inverted mms apk.

It seems that it really is a faulty mms. I would just re-install the app. Another way is to look up another inverted mms apk. I think that eagle's blood has a dark apps with mms apk in it. Just use that, I am pretty sure it is compatible.
I tried a couple different inverted/dark mms apps without success except for the ugly one (based on GB I think). I will try the EB mms apk and see how it goes. Otherwise I guess I will go back to a 3rd party app. Thanks for the suggestion.
