Cant view pictured from mesage app - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
Im running Gingerblur 3.5 (just upgraded from 3.1).
When I try to open pictures sent to me via SMS I get an error
/part/9
null 0.0MP 0x0 0KB
<A date>
If I save it to the phone I am able to view the image from the gallery.
Is there some setting I can change with the SQL editor to set a default app to open the images?

I also have the same problem but I highly believe that the file might be too large to view or send as a mms

What weird is it shows the picture in the SMS. I just cant select it to enlarge it. Its like there is not a viewer associated with opening pictures in the SMS.

[SOLVED] How to send a contact via SMS as plain text?

WM 6.5
Is it possible to send a contact via sms/BT as plain text without having to enter the "EDIT CONTACT" menu COPY the number and then PASTE it in the sms body? Is there an app for this?
I have friends with older devices that wouldn't recognize the the vcard format.
EDIT: I found an app called Send Contact that does the trick:

I installed it on the SD card. You can choose what details to send and the program creates a plain text message containing the detail picked. Does not reside in memory and can be launched only in cases when you need to send the contact as plain text.

Curser Default to Text Instead of Contact MMS

Performed a search and could not find anything simular.
I've had this issue with my Thunderbolt from day one and have confirmed it does not happen on my wife's Incredible S.
When I go to gallery and select a photo to send via text, when the photo loads in the text program the curser jumps the contact area at the top where you would select who to send to and goes directly to the "add text" under the picture.
Anyone else have this issue with their Thunderbolt? Running phone all stock.
Thanks!

[Q] Is there a way to send ANY files via MMS?

I haven't used MMS much. I use Android (CM 7.1) and from what I can tell at least using built-in "Messaging" application one can only send pictures, sound files (AKA "ringtones"), videos and contacts.
Is there a way to send other file types? TXT or PDF for instance? I was able to select "Picture", then use third party file manager to select PDF file but then messaging application said something along "this is not a valid picture file" and rejected it.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Maybe just maybe, Don't quote me on this but here goes nothing, Maybe if before you send the file out to another person, You use a file manager and change the extension of the file to match a pictures like, .png or .jpeg and so on. Maybe it could work that way so long as it meets size requirements, Like i said, I have no idea if what i'm telling you will actually work or not, Just a shot in the dark here really lol

Handling VCards via MMS - FIX!

I've been searching forever for an app that will handle Vcards sent to my S3 via a Blackberry or iPhone. The MMS comes in blank on my text app (8ms messsaging) or even stock messaging app, but there's no way to view the vcard attachment.
Enter "Save MMS Attachemtns" app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobappli.savemms
Opening it brings up a list of all of your MMS messages within your text threads. The interface isn't very advanced and I haven't played with it enough to be able to select just one MMS, but regardless...clicking save will export all MMS to a folder on your phone entitled "SaveMMS"
From there, you'll need to delete the extra extension text after ".vcf"
Now click on it to open with your vcard handler app. I use DW Dialer as it's way better than stock Google dialer. It takes 8 seconds to respond after clicking, but it will import to your contacts.
This is far from an elegant fix, but if you receive vcards for work like me, you need something that will work, no matter how involved.
If anyone has a better way, let us know but a big thanks to the dev for writing this.
I've created app that handles vCards and it is capable of importing vCards from MMS. It's not free but I hope it's worth the price. Search for bizCard Manager.
Let me know what do you think.

[Q] Problem viewing pictures received through text message

Sometimes a picture I receive through text shows as corrupted, but I can view a thumbnail version of it in the gallery, but when I go to open the image full res it shows as corrupted again.
Any help much appreciated!
