mms comes in as video format

[anon(631531)]

When my daughter sends me two or more pictures, from her iPhone, to my phone, in the mms format, they come in as a video format. That is, one picture in a box, with an arrow in the middle. When i tap on the arrow, the other picture(s) appear as the timer on the bottom of the screen runs down. I can't figure out how to save each picture individually. Are the message settings in my SGSIII screwed up? Is this an iPhone to Android thing? Some help, please.:'(

That is a problem with the Proprietary messaging app for iPhones. I changed to Go SMS Pro and there is a setting for iPhone comparability. It is a lot better than the stock Messaging app.

Where exactly is that setting in GoSMS?

Just hold down the message and click "save attachment"

There are two or three pictures, one behind the other, and they will not open individually.

Thanks. I've used GoSMS Pro before, so i'll give it another try.

I used Go SMS Pro before i was rooted, and had problems with my lock screen, so i deleted it. Now, those issues have been resolved, so Go SMS Pro may be a viable alternative. Please tell me if there are any things that i will lose, by using Go SMS Pro. I particularly enjoy sending people the android emoji(emoticon) in my messages. Tap the lower left screen, and bring them up. Will i lose that feature? Thanks for your replies.

Hold down the pic message before opening it and save it then.

That method will not work for me, if pictures are sent via MMS, from an iPhone to my SGSIII.

Will the badge notifications still show up on the lock screen when using GoSMS?

New problem with Go SMS Pro..I send a text msg from my wife's iPhone to my SGSIII, and i get the notification sound twice. Once from Go SMS, and once from her contact name in my phone. One msg, two notification sounds. I had already shut down the regular msg app, and "froze" it with Titanium Backup.

This is my second round with Go SMS Pro. There is something going on with their app, and your contacts list. Anyway, there are way too many settings on this app, but i believe that i've tried every combination that i could think of, without success. Somebody please tell me if i've overlooked something.


?UPDATE?Problem solved. Somehow, the "default notification" sound(the one in the phone, not the app), got changed to the incoming msg sound. Drove me crazy, which doesn't take much, but finally got everything working correctly.

Can anyone tell me where the iPhone compatibility setting is in GoSMS?

 

[anon(631531)]

Can anyone tell me where the iPhone compatibility setting is in GoSMS?

Sure. Go SMS Pro>Settings>Application Settings>Emoji encoding settings>iPhone/SoftBank. Hope that helps.

Got it all sorted out now. Finally got Go SMS Pro working correctly, and i can open and save the photos. IMHO, that app has too many settings, but many thanks to GTWalling for his suggestion.

This is happening to me now, only the pictures are coming from someone with a Samsung Galaxy Note III.
