First of all, I'd like to say hello to everyone! Total noob here and first post ever, so forgive me if this has been posted/answered somewhere else.
Bought a Nexus 4 (running Jelly Bean 4.2.1 though I'm waiting for 4.2.2!) after switching from iPhone and couldn't be happier! Taking a little getting use to but overall I love the experience so far.
My question is, is there any way to get pictures to just show up in a text thread and view them by just tapping on them a la iOS? (some habits are hard to break).
I know I can just long hold and download the image to my gallery, but that seems kind of inefficient. I've also read in other forums that Handcent would fix the problem but it didn't really do much for me. Sometimes it would work but then wouldn't for long periods of time and honestly I like the stock messages app.
Maybe there is a setting I'm not checking, or maybe it is the format my friends are sending the pictures (they all have iPhones unfortunately), or maybe it is my provider (AT&T), maybe it is a combination, or something else I'm forgetting? Maybe rooting can fix it? I don't know.
I've read a few times that this is JB functioning correctly, but it seems like it should be able to do something as basic as this.
If that's the case then I can live with it, but any light on the situation is greatly appreciated!
(sorry if this was long winded!)
