Direct messaging of a picture not available on the S3? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I take a picture with the phone I don't have the share option "Messaging" in the dropdown list to be able to directly message the picture. Is this feature missing from the S3? I seem to have to go into the messaging application and attach it from there. This is a feature that is available on all other samsung phones.
Does anyone else have this problem?

This option is present. When you take picture from stock camera app, the picture goes down in a small box below the camera shutter button. Click on that box and pic will open. Of course, everyone wants to take a look before sending a picture. So when picture is open, just press the sharing button at the top and you'll have list of available apps including Messaging.

That's exactly what I do but I don't have Messaging listed in the available apps, why???

I don't know why. Its just there. Are you running custom ROM?

No I'm using stock rom and the option is not available. I have contact Samsung tech support and they tell me that this feature is not available on S3. They had on there and tried it and no "Messaging " option staight from camera!! This is a feature I use a lot and can't beleive it's not a standard feature! I'm on ICS LF2 rom.

Well, the option is there as you can see. It must be that your ROM doesn't support that and its quite weird. You may try different rom or update to JB to solve this issue.

I think you're right about the ROM. Mine is Austalian and this seems to be one of it's restriction. Thank you for your help. I might look into flashing.

Sharing options in Gallery App

Hey all,
Anyone else having issues with sharing options in stock Gallery app in SGS3? I tap on the share button at top of screen, list of options come up but I'm missing Messaging, Email, Gmail etc...Theres a list of other options but not the ones I'm after. Any way of changing this?
Also, I've come from an SGS1, what happened to the fancy 3d Gallery app ? -_- This stock one is very dull
When you click on share, there is a 'more options' at the bottom of that list. Clicking ink it expands all the existing options. Included amongst them are those you are looking for.

Like the poster above said -- expand the list.
As for the 3D Gallery. Why would anyone EVER want to go back to it? It was slow, cumbersome and gawdy looking at best. The new gallery performs 100x better.
I've tried expanding the list guys, still don't have the general sharing options...I have all these other options like Direct WiFi, Flipboard, Picasa etc.
Bump, still got this issue any help would be greatly appreciated.
did u click on "see all"? post a screenshot of expanded options
I actually agree that the new Gallery is faster as well. Screen capture attached. So weird, on my fiance's S3 all typical options show up...
Bumpity bump
Help please
which firmware are you on? Also have you tried scrolling? I can see all the options on LG8
Take a screenshot.......
How do I check version? I have tried scrolling no luck.
I'm on Android 4.0.4 and yes I have tried scrolling but no luck.

You still haven't given us a specific firmware.
Is your phone branded?
Download the newest firmware and flash it with ODIN -- see if that restores all functions.

Any correctly working stock messaging apps on CM 10.1 out there?????

Are there any stock CM 10.1 messaging apps out there that will correctly show a picture that has text attached? Any time I get a picture with text attached it comes up as a slideshow.....but when you click it the picture comes up and closes out before you can get a chance to see anything. I've tried the stock app on Slimbean, CM 10.1 Black, Xylon, and Carbon and they all do the same thing. I am in NO WAY interested in switching to a third party app ....just want to know if there is a stock version out there that works correctly. If not I'll just deal with it. Thanks
Always wondered the same. Hopefully someone chimes in on this. For now I just save the attachments and view em with quickpic.

Tap and hold for a little bit. Eventually, a menu should pop up. Then just tap on the "save picture" option, or however Cyanogenmod phrased it.

So i am back xD, with another bug(ish) report when using/having snapcolors installed and activated snapchat has some connection issues on wifi,and doesnt work on 3g connection keeps saying "Could not refresh menssages pl try again"
Cool idea but I got 2 problems. First the size does not work for me and yes I typed the number and tryed double clicking it a lot of different ways. Second, when I click the volume down button once it skips thru like 2 or 3 colours so its kinda hard to go to the one I want. Also please add the default transluscent colour cause after I click thru the colours It isnt there so I have to take a picture again so it comes back. I have a samsung galaxy s4 if it helps and thanks for making the module.

[Update-Newer version] Moto X Camera app for Xperia SP

Update- Upon further investigation I found a newer version on XDA. I am attaching a flashable zip in the post. Thanks to this guy - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52153586&postcount=306
IMP - By default the app takes pictures in 5MP resolution. If you want to take pictures in 8MP resolution, just disable 16:9 mode in settings.
Just like all other Xperia SP users, I was completely dissappointed with the phone's horrible camera. Upon further investigation I realised that the issue was due to the unpolished and half-baked stock camera app and therefore some users posted Xperia M's camera app which performed better.
After some little searching on the internet, I found Moto X's camera apk.
The app does wonders on our device and performs better than Stock camera or google camera app, especially in terms of auto-focus department.
So, I suggest everyone to try it out. I am attaching the apk to the post.
Works on stock as well as custom ROMS.
NOTE - Produces great results while taking pictures of 'texts and documents' where stock app fails terribly.
Bugs - Not all features are working (eg HDR mode). But the app does a pretty decent job.
Work's also with Stock Roms.

Yes. The zip doesn't remove your stock gallery. You can delete motorola gallery using root explorer.

Press the ladybug icon at the bottom after sliding out the menu by swiping towards right. It is only available in the zipped version I guess. I am trying to get the new material camera app to work, I'll update if I am successfull.

I guess you used the apk. The apk and zip versions are different. Its been a while since I changed any roms so I don't remember whether I flashed some other app to enable extra settings. I have 2-3 different versions lying on my laptop. Try the flashable zip version and see if the ladybug icon appears.
Edit - If the ladybug icon doesn't appear in the zip version, try this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/how-to-unlock-advanced-camera-settings-t2884035
I had used this version too.

Does this work screen off with 3rd party apps like hangouts? Initially it wouldn't glow the edge if the screen were off unless it was a text message.

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...se/edge-screen-3-1-00-1-android-apk-download/
Great update, thanx for letting us know, I almost never remember to check Galaxy Apps updates
Outstanding. Works on my S8. . Thanks!!
Actually it doesn't seem to be working on my S8. It allows me to make the changes in settings but now the edge lighting doesn't come on with any of the apps I selected and even with messages/text.
I know this update is posted in the S8+ section so could that be the reason it's not working or does anyone know how to fix? thx
Just installed it and it only works while the screen is off unfortunately

Mines not working at all.
It's a step in the right direction, but I think they should give you the option to manually pick the color for individual apps. Because I use Light Flow and I would much prefer if the edge lighting matched the same color as my notification LED.
Only one app was updated that was Edge Screen on my device. I have a G955U, and I ripped the apk and uploaded it. I haven't checked, but between devices the libraries could have been slightly different and the update redirects to multiple unreferenced versions for different devices.
So, sorry but I can only vouch this working on my end for the Galaxy S8+. I will update my download to reflect this statement.
Can anyone tell me how to actually get the edge lighting to work?! I have it set it on for EVERY APP, yet, I have never actually witnessed it work!
After recent update it still works for me only in stock samsung messenger
and calendar apps. Nothing else, same as before.
If it works - it works in all possible combinations (face up/down, screen on/off).
