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.

ARHD 7.3. I went back to the stock app and everything's fine again.
i have same issue, Wanna know some thing i found out. Pinch to zoom in messaging app, can make it smaller. pretty cool.

This didn't used to happen, but I noticed it about a month and a half ago. Early on with this phone picture messages would come in fine...I could click on them and they'd look normal when they open up in the gallery. Those messages from then still look fine and function normally. But any picture messages I've received in the last month or so don't work right...They download to my phone (when I have mobile data on, which makes sense), but there's a play button over the picture. When I click on it it it opens up the photo but it looks tiny and I can't zoom in or anything or open with the gallery, etc. If I longpress the message without opening it, it only lets me play as slideshow which is still reallllly small. If I "download attached to SD card" it saves in my file system and when I open it up later it looks normal. But I don't want to have to download every picture message I get to my SD card just to look at it...
What's the deal here? I use GoSMS but I got this problem sometime after I started using that. Either way, the problem occurs in my stock app as well. I can't remember if this coincides with when I flashed GingerBlur or not...
FYI, this happens when I get messages from any iPhone AS WELL as friends with android phones. Any thoughts?
EDIT: also, if anyone thinks it IS GoSMS though, let me know! I don't remember this happening when I first started using it, but I dunno I'm willing to try all possibilities. Maybe a rogue setting in GoSMS is screwing it up?
Not GOSMS. I get the problem with the GingerBlur messaging, as well as stock Atrix messenger.

Interesting, so that should mean GoSMS, the GingerBlur flash or the stock GingerBread messaging app aren't causing it...hmmm...
This is an android issue. Had the same issue when using my nexus one, Dell streak 5 and now the Atrix. It sucks. Never found a way to fix it. Some messages used to come through fine but I haven't notice any work lately at all. They all come through like a small video file and are much smaller in size unless I copy to the sd card.
I'll try to grab some friends phones ( evo 4g, epic 4g, droid x) and see what it's like on their phones.
I also noticed that with animated gifs as well! They are showing up to people as pics only and are very small in size no matter how big they originally were! It's quite aggravating and I tried gosms, handscent, chompsms, and a crapload of others and none are working right!
This is not a problem... This happens when the MMS has several "slides", for example, a picture and some text.
If it only includes a picture, you see it directly.

I see. That's quite absurd, and even if it isn't a real Android problem, this should be changed...
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

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.
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.

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.
I would like to know how to send a full sized MMS on sprint's network. Even if I install a rom that can send up to 5M, I notice the receiver always gets something along the lines of 200kb. I have tried both GoSMS and Handcent to send pictures, and neither work even when put at full size in options. So far the only way I've acheived this is to use Handcent's personal network, upload the picture there, then send someone the link to which they download from. Now this is rather inconvenient, as some of my friends don't have smartphones yet, so it's hard for them to view the file. I''d also prefer to not email pictures, as it's just very slow and difficult. Can anyone explain how to fix this? Thank you
I guess nobody knows...
Try this work around I posted elsewhere and it's helped a few people......
Add a random pic to the message (it will probably be a small file like you say), then add the picture you actually want to send (should be way bigger according to message size number, ie: goes from 200kb to 1375kb etc). Now long press on the first pic and remove it.....you SHOULD be left with the second pic and the size should be the original size of the pic 1375-200=1175kb.
Let me know if that works.

Hmm it didn't work... Also, cm10.1 doesnt allow me to attatch more than one picture for some reason. I can either send, remove, or replace
Ooooh, yea cm10 I'm not familiar with. I'm sorry, I'm on sense 5 atm...that workaround works for sense 4+.....in sense 5 the pics send full size off the bat with no issues...

All the AOSP roms seem to play funny with mms. I couldn't find a solution and tried quite a few things. Sense Rom was my solution.
I'd like to know if anyone else gets a text about the receiver having a size limit and your mms not going through?
