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..

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?
When I save MMS attachments, they are automatically placed in the downloads directory on the SD card. I wish I could save MMS attachments with Astro file manager instead of using the built-in Gallery app. Then I could specify where I want to save the attachments, but I've cleared all the defaults, and it doesn't seem possible to use Astro because the messaging program automatcally uses Gallery (without giving you a choice), and the Gallery app saves all mms attachments to the downloads directory. Short of installing a third party messaging app like handcent, is there a way around this?
So I've been using my OPO for several months now and love it, but there's one aspect of it that I haven't been able to fix just yet. I'm not sure if this stems from moving to 4.4 from 4.2 or something rolled into the stock CM11 rom.
With my past Android phones, when I would go to attach a photo to a text message or send one via skype or another app, it would ask me for what app to use. I use quickpic as my default gallery app so I would select that as my default for that action and all was well with future attachments. With the OPO I don't get a prompt at all and instead it directs me to a "recent files" view where everything that I have recently saved or modified on the device is displayed.
Along the left side it lists all the file browsing apps and services on the device (stock gallery, G+ photos, file manager, dropbox, quickpic, etc) which I can then press and it will load that app for me to choose the file I want. I just want it to go directly into quickpic and skip all that other nonsense but I can't figure out how to make it do that.
I've reset the default apps on the device in hopes that this was some system app that was taking over, but it still does not bring up the "default app" prompt to let me choose what I want. I have attached a screenshot of what comes up.
Any ideas how to override this behavior and get back the use of my gallery app?
WhatsApp claims that my photos are not photos & so won't allow me to send them! A message comes up saying this when I pick a photo from my gallery (or a freshly taken photo) as soon as the screen reverts to the messaging app conversation it is being sent to.
Also, if I open the camera from within WhatsApp & take a picture, it just doesn't register & the app returns to the open conversation.
It also won't let me send screenshots.
I'm sure I used to be able to send pictures (I don't send many!) but certainly can't now.
Can anyone shed any light on this please?!
(I'm on B182)
Cheers.
Check the app permissions. Maybe it doesn't have direct camera or photo/file access.

Yeah, it does - that's why I'm stuck now, there must be a fair explanation which I can sort out but I can't find it!

I have the same problem with my WhatsApp . all the permissions are enabled in settings but the problem still exists. Did you find the solution to the problem? Thanks
Still working on it but I think it's to do with the amount of media I've received in the past, has filled the 'memory'.
I didn't realise that received files seem to save within the app which only has so much space - something like that anyway!
When I deleted a load of old stuff from within messages, I was again able to send & receive.
Try it.....!
never had that issue before, have you tried reinstall the app from scratch? and clear the cache on the phone?
Done a force stop etc. but I've not done a reinstall because there's too much info I may need access to in my current situation - can do without any more hassles!
Keep hoping an app update will help but not so far it seems.
you can do a backup of everything and then try that

I seem to have hit the Whatsapp images or media limit, there were 1950 images when the issue of "the file you sent was not a photo" and something along the lines of "can't receive the image" occured. Deleted a few images from whatsapp image folder, and for good measure, ran the phone's storage cleaner app to delete redundant files. It seems to work. If the error occurs again, might have to remove more media from storage.
