Is there a way to make it where you can zoom in on a pic from a text message? On my S2 with ICS I was able to pinch to zoom on MMS pics. On the S3 the pics play as a clip and wont zoom.
Can I use the S2 MMS in the S3? Or is there a rom out that has this fixed?
pls move to Q&A as i cant delete it.
I agree. Coming from HTC Sensation, I love the S3, but the way TouchWiz handles MMS' sets this phone 5 years back. First, why can't we just view the attachment as a pic? How hard is that? No one needs a slide show just to view 1 pic. 2nd, this small view of the photo and lack of zoom in function is worthless. I have to save the attachment every time, then open in the Gallery viewer. Don't really want to save every single mms I receive. TouchWiz has really messed this part up. They have it backwards. I would like to take my font size even smaller than tiny because I think that is way too big, but yet they have the attached mms pics so small you damn near can't see them.
You can wait for a modded SMS/MMS app or just you chompsms from the market or something. Chomp doesn't use the slide show thing.
Yes, you can use ICS messaging app. Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736159
I am using it now and it does what you want.

Do you know if this ICS app will work on the US T-Mobile S3 version? I would like to give this a try. Thanks.
I would pull the one out of my ICS S2 as it did what I wanted it to do but dont know how to pull it or if it would work.
Im willing to grab the file from my S2 ICS and instal it. Anyone know where its at and if I need to delete the S3 one first?

I think everyone can agree that the standard gallery on the atrix isnt the smoothest. Many people like me, are using quick pic. Awesome app!
My question is, how do you make that gallery the default gallery when coming straight from the camera interface? (selecting the little pic on the bottom left)
I didnt think it could be done but now im using greyblur and the dev has somehow managed to place the google 3D gallery in its place!
Any chance of putting quick pic there instead???
anybody? This gallery is driving me nuts
Can someone check for me if they still have the photo frame widget after the touchwiz update. I really like the one that came with the Tab, and after touchwiz it seems to have disappeared. I tried a few different ones in the market but none of them worked really well. I am not rooted if that matters.. Thanks...

Is there anyone with the touchwiz update that will be able to check this for me. I just need someone to go into their widgets and see if the Photo frame widget is in there. If it is I will do a factory reset I guess to get mine back. Before I do that I would really like to confirm if it just happened to me or with everyone.
Thanks for your help...
There is a photo widget that's now named "Gallery". It has a lot more size options if I remember correctly than the original Android photo widget.

Thank you so much, can't believe I missed that...
I tried googling but my google fu may be weak. I can't find any setting anywhere to turn off the graphical smiley faces in the Blur messaging app. Is my only choice to use a different messaging app? I'd rather not, because I prefer the stock Blur messaging app to Go (which was my favoured app on CM7). Is there any way of removing the smileys through some kind of secret settings file somewhere?
Seriously, they look ridiculous. I can't even tell what they are.

Agreed! Somebody definitely dropped the ball when they included those dumb looking smiles. I also would like to know a way to get the old graphical ones back. I'm using Handcent and they are the same so I doubt changing sms apps will do anything anyways.
There are a few things (software) that really annoy me in the SII, anyone knows if they have been addressed in the SIII:
No text reflow in stock browser
click on location in calendar widget does not go to google map
cannot scroll to next month, etc in calendar widget
Picture taken by camera has nothing to do with what you see on screen
All software, all easily fixable if they bother...

the issues with text reflow arent an SGS issue, its an apk issue. the default browser just blows.. why are you using it anyway? Dolphin or Opera are the way to go man. and Opera Mobile has flawless text reflow
sorry the calender app is sucking for you, this one IS samsungs fault, maybe theyll fix it on the SIII, but you could always try a new calender app from the market.
pictures taken by camera has nothing to do with what you see on screen, [email protected] yes this is fixed, its called "ZERO SHUTTER LAG" and it makes me veryyyy happy. what you see on screen when you snap a picture is exactly what youll see when you take a picture.
HOWEVERRRR, if you want a fix for your S2 right now, i got one. download Fast Burst camera app from the market, it can take like 20 pictures a second, and what you see IS what you get. rapidly snap the shutter button, or hold it down for a DSLR machine gun sounding shutter attack haha, this is the camera you wanna use to catch fast shots, like your dog jumping, or someone flipping a coin. things beast

Yeah, but what annoys me is that HTC phones have a great stock browser *with text reflow* and the calendar is brilliant.
Surely Samsung should address this usability issues before getting on the flashy gestures functionalities...
Also remember that Dolphin recorded and sent to the mothership the list of web sites you visited. They allegedly "corrected" that. But after such a security blunder I will never use their products again...

No stock browser can touch Opera Dolfin or Quick ICS. If you like stock you'll love Quick ICS

The text reflow in stock browser was a setting you can change. If you go to your settings, there should be a "Auto-fit pages" that's unchecked by default (at least for Samsung ROMs). I think by default, it's checked for other phones/ROMs.
I haven't flashed my SGSII with the Samsung stock ICS ROM, so I can't speak to that... but it's there for all of the Gingerbread Samsung ROMs I had. (I'm currently on CM9).
I can flash back to a Samsung ICS ROM to verify.
UPDATE: I'm on the stock SGS2 ICS TW ROM, and verified: In the browser, hit the menu button, Settings, Advanced, Auto-fit pages. That will control if the text reflows or not.
Now the thing that irks me on SGSII (again with Gingerbread Samsung ROMs) is there's no touch-to-focus while taking a video. The HTC One X/S, iPhone, and Moto Razr has this feature, so not sure why Samsung left it out. I hope they put it in the SGS3 TW ROM.
It irks me that it's not in the Google stock ICS builds (CM9, built from source, GNex, etc). This is, of course, a problem stemmed from Google's own source code. All those nice features (pano, snapshot while videoing, but no touch-focus while videoing).
The video autofocus is not reliable.

That option switches on text reflow only when you double tap to zoom. There is still no text reflow on pinch-to-zoom.
It's quite annoying when browsing forums and in general sites with lots of text content
I'll try Quick ICS, it sounds promising.
The thing is, I wanna get a SIII but I have to admit that between Sensation and SII the user experience for me was better on the sensation, it just felt tighter. It's the small things... I'll have a play as soon as it hits the shops!

Ah, I see. You're correct on that. Is this behavior also on the Chrome browser?
Hello
I've been having trouble with setting a wallpaper from the day I bought this phone. I've now tried 4 different roms over the past couple of weeks, those being AOSP, AOKP, ParanoidAndroid and Sammy Stock, none of these allow me to set an image as a wallpaper without cropping it, even if I choose pictures that have been resized in Photoshop to 720x1280. This is quite frankly getting very frustrating, to the point where it almost makes me want to buy an iPhone (yeah, forgive the blasphemy). One of my main reasons for buying the S3 was it's gorgeous screen.
Is anyone else having the same issue? It doesn't matter if I use ES File Explorer, Gallery, the Album app from Xperia, the phone always forces me to crop. I've searched a couple of threads for answers, and tried taking a screenshot of the wallpaper I want, but still I need to crop it.
best regards, Tim
My standard answer to this question is to use Image2Wallpaper from Google Play .Or and PicSpeed Wallpapers .
jje
This one works for me without cropping in TW
All background with this resolution should work with no issue...
Thank you both for replying, I will check out those apps mentioned
I've included a screenshot of the wallpaper that was attached to your post, here's how it looks on my S3, currently running Paranoid 4.1.1.
De-crop yourself!
Put your finger on one of the blue point and move it. You should be able to select the full picture...
You mean making the selection rectangle as small as possible or the other way around?
Cause it's stretched out to it's limits in that screenshot
You should be able to make the selection rectangle bigger (at least I can on stock rom...)
Maybe something with the rom you use or with the gallery app included in this rom...
This also happens on my stock rom, and every other rom I've used so far =/
Thanks for trying anyway

This same thing happens to me every picture I choose, no matter what size or shape! And when I try to adjust the cropping, proportionally the shape stays the same, It just always cuts some of the pic out. Is there a way to take a photo , image etc. and place it somewhere so that it shows with the rest of the stock wallpapers instead of picking from the gallery??
Btw: I'm on Clean Rom 2.1 w/ Clean Kernel
