pictures showing up as video in texts?

**azdmelani** · 03-07-2012, 02:33 PM

I am having a rather odd problem, when iphone users send me pictures, my nexus chooses to play them as videos, so i have to wait for the picture to pop up, and when it does its super tiny. Any settings I can use to fix this?

Having a single pic show as a slideshow is usually due to a setting in the senders mms application.

You can press & hold that particular picture text message....click save attachment...& the set of pics will be individually saved to your picture gallery. You can then view, zoom, etc...

This is what I do.

Its rather annoying but thats how it happens when iPhone users send more than 1 pic at a time over MMS.

It happens when my buddy sends multiple images from his android phone as well... it's not just iPhones. It's Android's ty handling of the incoming pictures...

From what I can tell, it happens that way when anyone sends multiple pics, it's a slideshow.

The problem is when a person sends one pic and it comes in as a slideshow.

When my friend sends pics from his iPhone sometimes it comes as a video, sometimes it comes as a text.

This happens when anyone types a message before attaching the pictures. Advise your friends to send the picture by itself, or to type after adding the picture.

^- We shouldn't have to tell other people how to text us... It works on other phones without doing that...

I just searched (google) for this problem again to see if there was a fix.. I'm back on this thread a year later and still no results. Can't believe Google hasn't fixed this. It's also happened when a buddy sent me a photo from his S3. It doesn't seem like there are a lot of people with this problem, i know it's not my rom, since I've flashed several and all have had this problem.

Iphone pictures show up as videos it's annoying. My iphone friends now facebook message me pictures as a work around. Much better.

This happens to me, too. What I do is long press the text message and then save attachment. Then view it in the download folder.
