Hey Guys,
Running the RemICS 1.3.2 with baseband KPL. This updated version of this ROM is really good especially since fixing issues with the camera etc.
One thing I have noticed:
I can send pictures and media via MMS and Whatsapp absolutely fine. Although I have a strange issue receiving. I will receive an MMS and be notified of receiving an MMS. I open the default messaging app but no picture, no option to view attachment and no picture downlaoded anywhere on phone although it has received the MMS. Using Whatsapp, I have a very similar issue, I will receive a picture in a conversation and I can see the thumbnail preview. Although clicking this or the 'Download' button appears to do nothing. BUT when I look within the phone or gallery, within the Whatsapp media folder is the file name of this picture ending in .jpg although showing no size (0kb) and it displays a blank thumbnail within the gallery.
It seem as this ROM as an 'issue' handling images to be downloaded via a messaging app. I have not checked other media or other apps. Could this be related to the 'old camera issue' in the older ROM versions?
It has nothing to do with my MMS, APN or NETWORK settings, I have plenty of 3G coverage, WIFI and have even tried downloading via 2G to no avail.
Is this a known fault with this ROM? Is this just my unit? Is there a fix or solution?
Please help because it is irritating me!
If no fix, I may have to change to another ROM. Can anyone recommend a slick looking ROM with good performance and excellent battery longevity?
***BUT I DO LOVE THIS ROM SO WOULD APPRECIATE A FIX***
Thanks

Question [Q] Any Fix for No Picture Messaging?
[Q] Any Fix for No Picture Messaging?
Hello,
FYI I have looked using the xda forum search functions and cannot find the question or answer for this.
Is there a fix for this, anyone? I can't send picture messages. Receive seems OK. I can receive picture emails, and have received a couple of MMS with small pictures. I just cannot SEND. I have searched and have not been able to locate the question asked or answered, especially for this ROM. I have been on XBSA ICS ROM v5 for a while now. I have most issues resolved (keys, text message length, etc.), BUT, I cannot seem to send picture MMS no matter what I try. Messaging app and GO SMS Pro both stay stuck on send. I have tried:
- GO SMS (great for text, no picture send)
- regular Messaging app (inverted and not inverted, whatever that is)
- Multiple settings (preserve image size, don't preserve image size, manual entry of APN, etc., etc.)
- I have tried using the mms.apk for ICS from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1591989
- Before that (above) I used mms-non-inverted.apk that was in the XBSA v5.2 ROM (or the original ROM, whichever it arrived in)
- I have viewed the suggested links presented when starting this thread (clearing messaging app cache, etc.)
My APN (Straight Talk) is set up; calls, texts, internet, GPS all OK. Is this a network issue? Baseband? If so, what/why?
My phone is LG Thrill P925 with XBSA SU670 ICS ROM, 'Jeckyll and Hyde' kernel with no additional clock changes
I also use straight talk. I'm not on ICS but I did have the same problem, the issue turned out to be one of my apn settings.

I've posted this question in the HTC ONE forum on AndroidCentral as well, but I haven't had any responses yet. I'd love to see if this is an HTC ONE related issue, or if it's possibly just an issue with my wife's phone specifically.
Any help or insight on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I picked up an HTC One for my wife yesterday and she tinkered with it all evening yesterday. One thing she noticed that I was unable to answer was sending pictures using the SHARE option. Sure, you can open up the default text messaging app and send a picture, but typically she'll share Facebook messages or share multiple photos from an app like QuickPic and then select MESSAGING to send the photos. Right now, it's forcing her to save the pictures, then open the messaging app and attach them.
I looked myself and noticed there is a very limited number of apps available under the SHARE option when you're trying to share an image from any app (Gallery, QuickPic, Facebook, etc). There does not seem to be a way of sharing images (single or multiple) directly from the image viewer or original app, you have to open the messenger app and then add them one by one.
I even tried downloading AndMade Share, but that showed the same limited list of apps to share with.
Am I missing something? I looked through the list of messaging settings, tried searching online here and on XDA, and couldn't find any mention of this issue. I'd rather not install a 3rd party messaging app to gain this ability, but if it's required then so be it.
As a side note, she's loving the phone overall. The camera is stellar and getting the phone for $169 at Costco was a bonus as well (even came with a free fitted transulucent plastic case, which was nice). The HTC included ear buds were also very nice. Overall, very impressed with the phone and included goodies.

Thanks for the response. I'll take a look at her phone when she gets home tonight.
I tried that last night and the items I got were:
Send to AT&T Locker
Gmail
Email
Facebook
Picasa
Dropbox
and a few others.
I'll post a screen cap if it still isn't working.
Just seems odd that even with Andmade Share MESSAGES wasn't showing. Maybe I was just not seeing it in the list on the phone. That's entirely possible, as we had just got back into town last night when this occurred.

Looks like you can use Share to send one picture via the stock Gallery app, but no luck sharing with QuickPic (single or multiple selected photos) or Facebook to the stock messaging app.
Here are screen caps of the QuickPic SHARE options. Options are similar within Facebook as well.
Just an update:
I e-mailed the developer for QuickPic to mention the issue my wife was having with her HTC one. They responded that it's an issue with the HTC Messaging app. According to him, HTC limits which apps can share pictures with the messaging app.
Looks like the answer will be to use a non-stock messenger.
Same issue. I want to send memes from an app, but don't get the option unless I save to gallery. Third party messenger it is, I guess.

Its stupid things like this that give everyone a reason to bash android as a whole. I cannot wait for an aosp ROM to become available for this thing.CComing from aokp on my nexus is making me frustrated with sense.
I've been having a lot of problems with MMS since picking up the Active and switching to AT&T.
I usually use Handcent, but right now it's pretty worthless when it comes to group messages or receiving a picture. in both the stock messaging app and Handcent settings I have it set to group messages, and to automatically download. when I receive an MMS, though, I still have to click on download (and they won't download at all in Handcent even after clicking).
say I receive a group text from someone and 3 other people respond. both apps now display 4 different entries, one for each person. if I open each individual's thread and click download (again just in the stock app) the messages will be removed from that individual's thread and then be added to a group thread.
this is pretty frustrating, and I really want it solved. is this an AT&T issue (I was on VZW riding the Droid train before) or something with the phone?
a little update on this:
sending of MMS is also way less than ideal, either not sending at all, or taking a really really long time. I tried to send a picture earlier and it took 40 minutes before it finally went through. my searching of the interwebs leads me to believe it's perhaps an APN issue? it would be strange if the default settings out of the box prevent it from working, though. anyone else have an issue with this?
MMS is horrible for me on Handcent, too. I have to open the stock Messaging app just to download an MMS and sometimes that doesn't work, either. I also tried AT&T Messages, but it won't ever even setup correctly.

How the heck do you stop the standard messaging program sending pictures as 5 second video's??
I did try searching the forums, but it seems the search isn't working, I even went through pages and couldn't find anything.
I've tried a few custom i9305 roms, but they all do it..
Is there any mod or patch that fixes this?
Thanks
Seems its problem no one can fix so I just did a work around.
Installed Go SMS Pro, removed SecMMS.apk, rebooted.
This let GO SMS handle all the messaging.
Though pictures still show up on the other S3 as MMS Movies until they install another messaging client.
I've been using the new messenger app and I noticed when a particular person sends me a picture it comes out extremely low quality where I can barely make anything out. I had that same person send a picture to a buddies G3 and it was crystal clear. Its like Messenger is downscaling his pics to me low res, don't get me wrong, I do receive good MMS pics through Messenger, but some are extremely bad. I also noticed that if I snap a picture with the camera app and send it they are fine and clear, but if I take a picture using the "in app" messenger camera my pictures come out exactly like the low quality images I talked about receiving above. Is this a messenger issue?
The reason this is such a big issue is because this is a work phone and I am trying to have employees take picture of their work writing documents and text them to me but I can't make out the writing. I am hoping not to have to switch SMS apps Thanks
Bump! I'm having the same issue and it's unacceptable! Did you find a solution?
I've noticed the download size shown prior to downloading the MMS is several times larger than the actual downloaded file
Same problem..
Are you guys using CM12 / 12.1? Known bug in CM for the pictures to be low quality, makes CM unusal to me.
