3rd party Gallery share no MMS? - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Had my Tbolt (and I'm not rooted) a few weeks now and unhappy that the stock HTC Gallery doesn't let you share an image to MMS while the image is full screen. So I've been trying a few different gallery apps. While they seem to have much better share options, so far none of them include MMS. I've tried Fish Bowl Photo, Gallery 3D and Smart Gallery.
Is there a way to add Message (MMS) to the list of share options?
Never had this issue with my DInc and sad/suprised this is a problem on the Tbolt.

Tap the screen when the image is there, hit the double arrows button in the middle and choose messages.

LOL, awesome. I guess I was assuming it would have been the normal intuitive Menu button. I would have never figured that out accept by accident. Many, many thanks.

Yup And Sometimes One Picture Will Show For All The Picture Messages I've Gotten But When Opened The True Picture Shows. Very Strange. It's F-ed.
I've never had either of the problems you both have described. I'm not rooted, haven't done much modding or anything other than installing LPP--not sure why that would matter, though.

Sharing issue with HTC Gallery, very bad UI design!

When you open the HTC Gallery app, it shows a grid of thumbnails. When you open a thumbnail and touch the MENU button, where is the SHARE button?
I remember in my old Evo 4G, that when I hit menu, there was an option to share that image!
Where did HTC put it? I dunno, it's a pretty terrible UI strategy to remove it from that menu.

just tap the screen once instead of hitting menu. Not sure why they changed it but you should see the double share arrow after single tapping the image you want to share.

Yea instead of hitting menu just tap the image and you will see the share, delete and some other icons appear...
I think HTC put the most used functions into that menu
OMG!! There it is!
Thanks guys!

[Q] Sending Picture Right After Its Been Taken - From Camera App?

Any way possible to Snap a picture, and then when its in Review Mode or when you select the picture just taken on the top left, to share it via mms or email?
I notice only 4 options are there when I hit the menu button on the picture: Set As , Slideshow, Select Player and Details but No Share Option.
It's annoying to exit out the camera and the go to the gallery, find the picture, and share it from there. Anyone know a good work around to send when still in the camera app?
Thanks!

after you take the pic and you're still in the cam viewer, touch the thumbnail, then touch the screen on the pic (NOT the menu button) = done.

Issues with Font Size in Mail and Messaging Apps

Does anyone else have problems with the font size in the mail and messaging apps? No matter what I set the fonts to in the e-mail app they always display as extra large. Well, almost always. Once or twice they did display as small, which is what I have selected, but almost instantly reverted to extra large. Going to settings still shows "small" is selected. Same issue with Messaging. Font size is set to small, but the fonts are still displayed as normal or large. Every now and then they will display as small for a couple of hours and then mysteriously go back to large.
I remember seeing some similar issues with the One X when it was released on AT&T, but I don't see that anyone is talking about it anymore. And I don't see that anyone has really mentioned it with the EvoLTE. Is there some fix that I am missing? Or this just not happening for everyone else? It makes e-mails almost unreadable at times for me. I tried using the stock ICS email app, but don't really care for that since it seems to lack the peak/non-peak sync options and was not displaying the unread message count on the app icon.
Any help would be appreciated. I know custom ROM's are on their way but for now I would like a way to make this work with the stock HTC mail app. Possible?
Take two fingers in the app one in one corner and the other adjacent usually bottom right n top left and move them closer should zoom in and out it has happened to me before n I was like wth

Can't zoom out. Can zoom in further, however that is pointless as things are already too big. Screen shots attached.
Interesting...
I am thinking about ruu'ing back to stock and seeing if that makes a difference. I have previously tried a factory reset with no luck, but maybe flashing it will help. Probably not, don't know what else to try. I know two other people with this phone that both have the same problem. Odd that no else seems to have this issue.
I just switched my font size in SMS. Will report back if it reverts.

my brothers evo is having this problem
Man I'm having the same issue! I guess few ppl are experiencing this issue. Anyway, I'll post my issues below...
I want to make sure I'm not crazy...
I have 2 questions about email:
1) My font size appears to be too large. I've tried adjusting it to the smallest font, but that's still too large. I can't seem to reduce the page (font size - by pinching like I could on my OG EVO). I can only read most emails in landscape mode. With my OG EVO, I could adjust the page, just like I could adjust a page (size) on the internet. I've only been able to read emails in landscape... Is anyone else experiencing this issue? If so, were you able to fix it? FYI - I have three email accounts setup (Gmail, Hotmail, & Y mail), and it happens in all of them.
2) I cannot toggle back and forth to the next or previous email while I'm reading an email. I could do this while I was reading an email with my OG EVO, as there were up and down arrows at the bottom of the screen. This seems really dumb. Has anyone figured this out? Am I missing something? I can't swipe anywhere in the email to send me to the next or previous email (just in case you were going to ask). This happens with all of my email accounts.
Just by chance did you make sure the font size under settings/display is also small? There is a global setting there as well.

This is really stupid. You have to hit the menu button and then choose previous/next EACH TIME. Where the hell did the up and down buttons go? WTF HTC? Speaking of issues with the mail app, did they remove the option to automatically display pictures in emails? There was a check box on my OG Evo and it is nowhere to be found in the LTE's mail app.
I'm having this same issue (large font in Mail app). Phone is completely stock. It's REALLY annoying.
Same issue. No matter how many preview lines I choose! It shows 2. Can't reduce to 1. And text is huge, no matter what setting. Slayer, no, haven't tried the global setting, but honestly dont wanna change the global setting, just the email setting. I'm sure a SW update will fix it. I'm not stressed about it.
sent from my Evo LTE, usually.
Yep, same thing I'm experiencing too. Can make the font bigger, but not smaller. This clearly has to be a bug. Hope they fix it soon...

Tried that, but it didn't work. Didn't seem to impact the email font size at all. It made my internet font size smaller, but I didn't need that changed.
Sent from my EVO using XDA
I'm just dumbfounded at all this... No, I didn't see the option (display pictures) in the general settings, only in each email. The lack of back/forth arrows just makes no sense to let at all. Wonder who they consulted about these email changes?!
Sent from my EVO using XDA
I guess no one has figured this out yet... I almost forgot about this, but stumbled upon this today while in the forum. I figure we'll all just have to deal with it until HTC sends out an update?!
I've been having this problem too (I'm completely stock), but mine changes from time to time. I have my font sizes set on the smallest possible and usually that means that they're still kind of big. But occasionally I'll load up the text messaging app and get ridiculously tiny text. "Zooming in" makes it bigger, but not nearly as big as the fonts get normally. And then, the next time I load up the app the font sizes are MASSIVE.
It's almost like my phone has two sets of font sizes, one smaller than the other but both using the same nomenclature ("small", "normal", etc.), and switches between them when it wants to. Mildly annoying, but annoying nonetheless.
Interesting, I've had the same font size issue in the stock Mail app. There is an option in Settings > Sync, Send & Receive to view messages as either HTML or plain text.
I wonder if the difference is the way the email is formatted by the sender, if they use HTML vs plain text, if that is what affects the way this device displays the message contents.
Just a thought.

This is definitely the case - I've noticed that this happens ONLY when one of the emails in the thread was sent as plain text.

That's not the case for me. I actually notice it more in the Messaging app than the Mail app.

The gallery will have a slideshow button when within a folder where there are a lotta images.. The delete button will be visible when u press on any particular photo so that it is the only one on screen...
For your second qn, there are two buttons in the middle. One for share which contains all the sharing options. The next one can be set to any particular share feature (bluetooth, wifi direct etc) You need to hold the second button with one finger to change it.
Try it out. Hope I helped..
