I hate that samsung converts a picture in the SMS app to a slideshow. Is there anyway around this?
And why do they do this?
Its not just Samsung. Even on my HTC and aosp, mms shows up as a slide show.

use gosms its much better
That's the only good thing I liked about my Xperia X10. It would show SMS pictures individually.
Anybody know why Samsung (and I guess HTC) do this?

I use to use Handcent, but honestly I try to reduce the amount of redundant apps on my phones. I guess I'll just have to live with it.
The space is negligible for redundant apps. And I tried samsungs stock messaging. Back to handcent, tried and true for me, plus emoji.

Do people still use MMS ? Have you tried a Sms replacement app, will probably have it's own way of handling the image when it arrives.

If you can tell us how to send media via sms, I'm sure we would all ditch mms.
What??

Use other app for that.
Well a quick alternative to this: open the slideshow, press menu, press 'save attachments'. Then you can save the images to the SD card and view them as images.

Read the specifications of the MMS format first.
It's a multimedia video file! You can even record a video within the MMS specs limit and send it to someone, with sound! How do you expect it to be played back when even if you are sending one picture its actually translated into a 5 second slideshow / video.
It's the old phones that didn't support this. Save the image from your mms if you're so upset with it being a video.

Hey guys
Have a prety dumb question but forgive me Im a new Iphone convert. Im trying to find an easier way to send multiple pics in one MMS via my Atrix 4G. I found a way to do it but it seems a little overly complicated for such a beast of a phone. Any other way besides the slideshow route? Or maybe an app that can make it faster?
Thanks
I believe handcent sms has batch send / multiple sending and supports mms. Its free in the market.

Also if you go into your gallery and multi-select the ones you want to send you can then use the share function to send them that way.
Can't believe I missed that. Sorry to waste a thread. Thanks for the help guys.

Why is it that when I get or send a pic it shows up as an 8 sec video?? Someone sent me a pic and it showed as a vid and then I sent someone a pic and it also showed on the out going as an 8 sec video?
UK model and I am with AT&T in the U.S.
This is standard with the stock messaging on ALL ANDROID DEVICES.

Really? Sgs2 is my fourth android device, yet the only one to exhibit this behaviour.

quite annoying!

It's really annoying. I haven't been able to find any working solutions online, and I really don't want to have to resort to using a third-party app like Handcent or something.
Mod for this been around a long time if its the correct one .

Idk why or if anyone else has this problem but I've searched and couldn't find anything. When I send entire screenshots to my friends they get "compressed" and display all pixelated. I don't know why. This happens btw in stock messaging app and hangouts. It also happens whether or not its through a hangouts chat or regular SMS.
Here are some examples. Cut so you can't see peoples names and numbers obviously.
1. Is the conversation with the sent screenshot.
1. Is the actually screenshot when view in the text.
1. Is the original unpixelated image. (How it should look)

Verizon's MMS messages are limited and or compressed by resolution and size. Hit and miss at times for me. Mine never look quite that bad or pixelated though.

I'm not sure. I don't have the pixelation problem and haven't since I used my super modded V3M Razr lol. Just occasional resize, but they always look fine.

It could well be your friends messaging apps.... I had the sort of problem with GoSMS and handecent before. Off server extra compressing. It could also be preview processing, try saving and looking at it. I never get such pixelation. I have noticed massive compression and resizing before though. That's ridiculous for such a tiny image.

Idk man. That's damn odd considering I have the same variant using stock. Wish I could help.
Hey guys. With the new hangouts there are a lot of the features from previous SMS apps missing. Like the quick pop up reply from notification menu and multiple contacts.
I like hangouts and to be honest I'd like to use just one app only. Using Textra and it is awesome but can I uninstall hangouts and just use Textra on its own? What you guys use

I use google voice, barely any improvements, very buggy. But I haven't found anything better for texting thru voice. Also kakaotalk which is very bloated. I want a clean app that has option to send/not send push notifications. Know any?
I'm glad u said Hangouts is mandatory, I hate that. Can't we revert back to an older version and not be forced to use proprietary crap.
Hangouts is NOT mandatory, you can use any texting app you want.

Yea totally not Mandatory I used it for a week or so as my default sms application but then i switched back to the regular that came with the phone.
I use Hangouts. Its functional and full featured. The only annoying thing is that convos with the same person are separated by SMS and IM hangouts.

Unless something has changed I will stay with handcent, I never liked Go SMS Pro, or any Go product... But you never know, if its better for some reason I would try it.

So when I send pictures through go sms the KB's are low which results in blurry pictures sent. I ticked the mark for preserve image resolution and have raised the mms limit high and still sends photos under 100 KB... Through stock message app it will send over 1000 KB.. Any ideas?
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
I don't know anything about that particular messaging app, but you should be aware that MMS message attachments (pics, videos) are routinely transcoded, re-sized, or re-compressed by the carriers. This happens *after* the message leaves your device, and you have absolutely no control over this. The only reason some message apps provide a user preference (for sending) is so that users on limited data plans don't accidentally chew up too much of their data quota.
There are no "standard rules" for this carrier manipulation of your multimedia content - carriers can do whatever they want, whenever they want. And they do. Generally though, smaller messages are less likely to get fooled around with too much (Carriers will aggressively re-size/compress larger images and videos because it saves them in system capacity when the message is sent to the destination handset).
If you want control over how your pictures look - don't send them by MMS. Use any other method.
Definitely true.. But with the stock message app the photo sends big.. But I use go sms as a preference so I was wondering if anyone knew why it would resize so small. On my old phone I changed a few things and the picture too would send big on go sms and now on new phone (gn3) it doesn't.

Go sms pro has an option called "Big MMS" if you try to send anything over 300kb.

Yeah u saw that. Just socks cause then it gets sent as a link that the person has to open...(if they don't have go sms)... Before I use to be able to send decent sized images and didn't have to send big sms.

If you're talking about the preserve image resolution it's not working or helping. Not sure why.....
