My dad has a z5 compact and when he sends screenshots through the stock sms app, the photos get so bad you almost can't see anything. But the screenshot looks fine in the gallery. Anyone know a solution?
I have the same, picture size only 180x32, but for some reason this only applies to screenshots
Edit: easiest solution might be to switch to some other sms app like textra etc.
At least textra seems to allow screenshot size to be bigger

I want to replace the default SMS app with the one I downloaded [Handcent SMS] is this possible? the reason being is when I receive a text I get 2 notifications now 1 from the default and one from the one I installed
try to backup the orginal and remove it.
I'll give it a go, thanks
UPDATE: so far so good ^^
can you say what are the benefits of 'Handcent SMS'?
is it so much better then the stock SE sms thing?
Yeah, I have installed a qwerty keyboard, I want to use it landscape for better typing [accuracy] but the default SMS app doesn't rotate whereas Handcent SMS does

There is no need to remove the default sms/mms application.
Go to Definitions->Sony Ericsson (1st)->Messages (Last)->Disable Notifications
(Maybe names are a little different, but my menus aren't in English)

Much better looking and some customization. Pop-Up menu, alerts, message view, groups....
Disable sms notifications: settings > Sony Ericsson > Messaging > Uncheck 'notification'.
Handcent is too good )
I use handcent too. It offers a lot of options to customise the application and works well on my mini pro.
One thing I found out reading the x10 forum is you should not uninstall the stock sms application because handcent can't deal with mms on its own. Though perhaps this issue has been addressed in recent updates of handcent. I have not yet looked into it.
But definitively disable the stock notifications.

Go SMSPro has also traditional inbox view and almost all that
Agree with op. I used to use go sms pro but have switched to pansi since a few weeks back. It loads much faster - the main app as well as the pop up.
yes i use sms pro, but i feel better to use Pansi sms app
I have change to Pansi for a week ago and i agree... I have used alot of similar apps and this one is one of the best...:good:
why install this when stock messaging app has all its features?

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...
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?
The stock gallery app annoys me as it does a lot of people with the FB portion, but what also annoys me is how it arranges the photos in my albums. I like QuickPic because I can arrange my photos in my albums from the app, but I cannot send an MMS from that app. Is there an app that will allow me to send MMS from within the app, and also serves as a good album viewer?

Try Just Pictures.
I like it as much as quick pic. I think you can share from it.
Just downloaded it, looks very nice. When I try to send it as MMS there it gives me a list to share the picture, but the text icon is not listed in there.
I just downloaded Gallery ICS, which is the older style i prefer from AOSP

Same problem as the stock gallery app in that it arranges my pictures weird.
Not for me.. it just puts them in different folders (based on actual folders in the drive), and arranges from newest to oldest. I hate how sense separates them into date folders
