It gets really annoying that even when I get a single picture in a text, it plays it like a slideshow. Is there any fix for this, or any other way to disable it?
Aside from getting Handcent or GOSms that is.
Running CM9 btw.
Might want to post in the cm9 thread that you're using. It might be a bug with the rom that the developer could fix.
Nah, it's like that in every rom I've used. It's not a bug, its a "feature" of Android.

Not a feature in any android rom I've used. Never have I gotten a single pic come thru as a slideshow on stock messaging or handcent.
You can long press on the message and press on download attachments. Then you could watch the pictures full sized on the gallery without any forced slideshow. I know it doesnt really fix things, but it's the workaround I use.

happens to me when my wife sends me more than one picture thru her Iphone. Never gotten it more than one from any other phone before to tell the difference.

Yes that happens when its more than one picture for me as well, but OP is stating its a single (1) picture that shows as slideshow.

Everywhere I've seen, even for other phones as well, single pictures play back as slide shows for people, where you click the picture icon, and a play, next, and previous icon show up at the bottom.

That's strange cuz I click on the pic and it asks which viewer I want to use when opening.

Right quick question, I received an image via text on the stock messaging app.
It shows a play sign like you'd get on a video, so when I click the image it shows as if it's playing a file for 20 seconds.
I can then save the image into the gallery so that's fine.
But is it normal for it to show a "play" sign on an image?
Can't I have it so it just shows an image that you simply press, and a play sign if it was an actual video file.
It's not a major issue, but just bugs me slightly.
I hope you guys understand what I mean, as I'm not great at explaining things.
edit: Looks like I'm not alone

The stock messaging app also opens mms images as videos for some reason
Is that fixable too?

Also another thing, I was just sent a video from an iphone 4 and it isn't even full screen when I play it, and the quality is awful.
Hi guys,
No matter what I do, the pictures of my contacts remain not only small, but also pixelated beyond recognition. I know there are replacement apps, such as UCS and BIG!, but isn't there anything I can do in order to get decent caller photos in the stock Phone app?
Thanks!

Yes, exactly. I wonder, am I the only one's whose pictures are not as they should be? Perahps I've done something incorrectly, though I cannot imagine what....
Use friend caster pro. My caller id pics are crystal clear. App makes it look crispy
If you getting the pics from facebook then friendcaster is the way to go. Nice, clear pics

Its not you at all. I have had the same issue with several Android devices. Some had painful work arounds. I have seen this talked about numerous times for the RAZR and it is always the same. Use a different app or you will have crappy pics.
Its the same problem anyone with an android phone runs into.
When u sync your contacts with your Gmail/Google account the pics are reduced for the icon it uses online, and then resynced over your phones pics.
Absolutely the stupidest problem which should have been taken care of a long time ago.
either way u need to turn off the syncing. And then manually fix your pics. Or go the Facebook approach as mentioned.
Either way u need to turn off the sync or it will happen again

And I said how to have nice pics in default app. After syncing with contapps all pictures will be there. This will not, of course, fix his buged contact app, but will make possible what he asked for.

Easy fix. Take a pic of every person in your contact list and then assign them to the contacts. There is the answer as well as many others. This is not new to android. HTC seems to be able to produce a better image for some reason when synced w Google but still an overall android issue. Been like that since the DROID Eris.
Is there currently a fix so when someone sends text with a mms or more than one photo in a single mms is will show like a single message and not an annoying slideshow?
This has been the one thing I cannot stand about android over other os's.
Most of my friends use iPhones and can't understand why I tell them to send each thing as a separate mms.

And how about viewing the MMS message itself. When I click to view it, it's not even full screen. Is there a way to adjust that?
It's not how it is on Android. It's how it is on TouchWiz.

I like touchwiz, but this little feature is pissing me off. There has to be a way around it.
I can not wait until the custom roms start hitting for Tmo...
So with every HTC phone I've had in the past 3 years, its always had the option when long pressing on an image in the browser, to allow you to share it directly with other applications. I would use this feature everyday when sending out MMS messages.
Since updating my HTC Rezound to ICS, that feature is now gone. It would seem that ICS doesn't have this option anymore. I've had no luck in finding an alternative way to accomplish this.. Has anybody had any success in finding a workaround or a way of getting this feature back?
Thanks.

Been looking for the same thing since I've got ICS. My most requested feature. Figure anything out yet?
The chrome browser when long pressed gives the option to share. When selected it gives a list of option to share to i.e. email, text, social media. Is this what you are referring to?

I can't comment on whether or not chrome does this pre-ICS but post it does not. We are specifically looking for the option of long-pressing on an image and being able to share it through sms (not just the web address) or email, etc.
i guessim confused. i still have the option to longpress and save a picture then send it via eamil, text, etc.. from my gallery.

That's so backwards.. /sigh
I just tried this in Maxthon browser and it gave me the option to share....
I installed maxthon browser and while it does have the ability to share the image, it doesn't share the actual picture, just the url or of the image itself. This isn't the same as the other HTC phones where it would literally paste the picture to whatever application you specified.

Which means that it saves the image then opens the message app and attaches the pic to the message automagicly. You just have to so it manually now I guess.... that's kinda lame.

It does suck to have to save it to the gallery to share it. I came from an iPhone 4 and it was a nice feature to long press on an image in the browser, copy it, then paste it in email, messages or whatever. A 2 step process now takes 8 steps but it could be worse I guess. I wish there was a fix for this but I don't think we are going to get it.
Some pictures come through as videos and some don't. It's really puzzling.
Stop me if I'm wrong but if you put 2 pictures in one text message it shows up as "video" and when you hit play it does a slide show between the two pictures. As oppose if you only have one picture in one text message it shows it as a picture text.
Does that make sense?

if one mms contain two or more images or more than one pages. it will display like video. play button would be show to you.
but only one image will not.:laugh:
We've tested it with one image and the same thing happens.
