Multiple Uploads - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, posted this in development by accident! Was meant for this section...
Anyway, I've got this really annoying problem when uploading a file on my phone. If I select ONE picture from the gallery and try to upload it to facebook it tries to upload the whole bloody gallery - All 100+ pictures I have on there. This also happened yesterday when I went to send a friend a picture on Skype - Went to send ONE photo and again, it went and sent every single file in my gallery and I had to go through and cancel them all. To be clear, I hold my finger on ONE picture in the gallery until it highlights blue, then tap the top right and share it through whatever program I want, I assume this is the correct way of doing it?
Is this a bug? Does anyone else have this issue or is it just me?
Thanks.

I bet you got instantly popular when you posted this in development section

So far so good but not much have seen it yet, I'm sure the insults will come
Genuinely thought I was in this section. it's late xD

[Q] Multimedia Messages

Whenever someone sends me a text with a picture, I get a link instead that leads me to some Sprint picture thing in my browser. I saw my friend's 3d today and he receives pictures in his text message app w/out needing to go to a website link. I've tried everything and can't get that to work and it's been like this since day one of owning the phone. Is there a way to change this?
Are the people sending you pictures using dinosaur phones? Older phones routed through the website if I'm not mistaken. Try having your 3d friend send you a picture.

MMS Slideshow disable in ICS (I've searched..)

Hey everyone, currently running AOKP's newest rom and I noticed I am again having the issue where multiple pictures in one MMS are viewing as a slideshow and not as individual pictures.
In the past (and based on my searching) it appears some ROMs have fixed this issue, but all the ones I could find were about 6 months to a year old. I am weary of flashing any of these as since the phone is now running ICS instead of GB, I don't want to mess anything up.
So, anyone know of a fix, or if an older version of mms.apk will work on ICS?
I'm hoping this is just something no one knows and I didn't ask a retarded question

I'm pretty sure that's a "feature" of the stock mms.apk. It was like that on stock GB too, and still is on stock ICS (the leaks and stock I9100 TW-ified ICS). Coming from an iPhone, it annoyed me too at first, but I got used to it eventually.
Uhhhh,
On my device running AOKP, I have multiple pictures received in one MMS conversation and when I tap on it to open, it opens just one, that one I tapped, not a slideshow. Don't know what happen to you.

When you say mms conversation are you referring to a single mms message with multiple pictures or a thread with multiple pictures? I ask because there's a difference.
With an iPhone you can include multiple pictures in a single mms. That shows as a slide show for me. If someone sends a single picture it shows like normal. 3 pictures in 3 separate mms show as normal too.

In bold, I meant the latter.
Anyway, with AOKP, I can't attach multiple "picture" in the same single mms but I can add a slideshow, which allows me to add more than one picture.
Again, it's on my Tx end, I don't know how the Rx end looks.
I've been looking for the same thing to remove the slideshow but no luck. Eventually gave up and went to Go SMS pro and have never looked back. Love every service of it and it doesn't display multiple photos as a slide show

[Q] Why do the assigned pictures to contacts look so bad?

Thank you everyone for taking the time to answer these type of questions !! No matter how good you leave the quality of your photos when you assign them to a contact and that contact calls, the photo looks very grainy. Is this due to a crapy HTC phone.apk? Is there a way to get the photos to look better other than installing something like, full screen caller I.D.?
I've noticed this too. The pictures that are linked from my Facebook contacts look fine, but the ones I took on my phone or come from Google contacts look bad when selected as contact pics

I downloaded full screen called I.D. and it allows me to save the contacts as HD pictures and it looks great, I just do not like how it has taken over my messaging as well and I have to close it to get to my normal messaging program.
Been a issue for a long long time. Even back on the EVO .

What seems to be happening is it scales and compresses the picture to look good as a tiny thumbnail (to save space) but then blows that up for other uses so it looks bad.

I have gone through that thumbnails folder before and that seems to make perfect sense, but someone dropped the ball there at HTC. Well, I just hope someone realizes the huge mistake that was and corrects it. Thanks coal!!
You can drop a script into your int.d folder to run at boot to prevent the blurred contact pics. I've been using the script for a while. I snatched it from myns old 3.5 rom. Not sure If I can post it because its there script. But if you dl the rom and extract it you can find it.

The 2 major complaints I have. Maybe custom rom/mod?

I never loved Sense but I have learned to like it but I have 2 issues:
The main issue is the HTC gallery. I think is junk compared to stock. I have a lot of galleries on Picasa and Drop box. All of my Motorola and Samsung phones that have the stock gallery must store the thumbnails locally where as HTC download them each time. It takes forever to find a picture I am looking for. Also you have no ability to text or email a picture from one of those sources. It only sends a link that does not work unless I give my login and password. I have instead try to open it myself from the browser and then download it and send.
The 2nd is the htc text message app. Every software revision I have tried does it. 1, On the text notification from the lock screen, if someone texts you as part of a group message and you drag it down to directly go to it, it brings you to the single thread you have with that contact, not the recent message. The 2nd issue is many times I open I thread, it starts at the top of the thread. This could be months or weeks back and that scroll bar is a pain in the ass to grab to keep pulling it to the bottom.
Please let me know if anyone knows of a ROM or Mod I can try to fix this. Every Senseless ROM I have tried still maintains the HTC messenger and gallery.
Thanks,
Dave
I know on sense 5 the messaging problems are fixed, but not the gallery issues you listed.

So is there no rom that removes the HTC gallery?

You can install a different gallary, like the stock(4.2) one.

It might be a good thing that the DNA gallery has to download the pics from cloud services each time. I have a Note 2 and it caches Facebook and Dropbox photos and it was filling up my phone memory (you can't switch it to SD card) and the gallery was STILL super slow.
With only 11 gigs of usable space on the DNA, we don't really want it caching all of those photos.

Facebook not showing pictures

My Facebook won't show any pictures at all. It updates fine and I can see the posts, but the pictures are just grey boxes. Even clicking on the picture doesn't produce results.
I have tried deleting cache, data and I reinstalled the app twice.

Hello It is most likely that it is not the phone's problem, and you need to report your bug to Facebook. To report the bug, open the android Facebook app, then swipe right, and scroll down until you see the "Report a Problem" option. then, select "Photos and Videos" and just describe the problem to them. Just wait for a new update and it might be fixed . While waiting, I'm afraid you would have to use Facebook with your Web Browser for now.
Thank you for consulting the forums, please click that "Thanks" button below this post if I helped you. Have a nice day. :highfive:
