pictures showing up as video in texts?

[azdmelani]

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.

Happens to me too. Really annoying. No fix for this? in running aokp m5 if that makes a difference.

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.

Exactly. New Nexus 7.

Same thing.

I think any image over a certain size becomes a slideshow.

 

[Nicholas Martin]

If you type a message with the picture it comes as a video, if you send the exact same picture alone it comes as just a plain picture. I really wish Google would fix this already, my iPhone sent picture messages so easily without the headache of having to download them to my phone first.

I have the same problem when people either send me multiple pictures in a message or text and pictures in the same message: it shows as a slide show and I can't download the pictures. I am using the standard Messaging app for Nexus 4. This is the solution that works for me:

1 Click on the header of the message before clicking on the picture itself.


2 A dialog box opens; select "Save attachment."


3 Navigate to your Downloads folder and viola! your pictures are there separately.

Ya I thought I had something checked or not checked in my settings... I have a Droid Turbo Maxx and yes it is rather annoying to do that. Because maybe I don't want to save them, then I have to delete them

Thank you for that workaround.

The Messaging and Gallery apps have since been updated.

1. Depending on your phone or Android OS you may not be able to view the header of the message. In that case press on the right or left side of the image.
2. In addition, when you select "Save Attachment", the photos will be automatically downloaded into your Gallery. (In your Gallery you will find an album labeled Downloads).
