More information is needed. What is the Model number of the S3 you have? Do you have a Data Plan or a Texting Plan? "Text Pic" aka MMS will not work on Wi-Fi. When you open the Browser can you get to the Internet? Do you get a 3/4G connection? Be a bit more detailed with your response.

This is common (if also undesirable) behavior for the S3. If there's only one picture in the MMS then it should behave as you expect. If there's more than one picture, or if there's text associated with a picture, then you get the stupid slideshow behavior. Nothing you can do but save the attachment then use the Gallery to view/zoom the image. Sorry.

Guess it's time to compare them - are they both running the same firmware? Do you have the same version Messaging app on both of them?

You said that one gets 4G and the other doesn't - have you compared the APN settings? I'm guessing that you'll find a difference somewhere; either that, or one of the SIM cards is jacked up.
