Hi all,
I synced my gmail to my HD7 and everything seems to be working fine except for the fact that I cannot receive picture images (jpegs). I am able to see that I HAVE an attachment (ala the little paperclip) but when I go into the email there's no image attachment to be found.
I am able to open word and pdf attachments normally but for some reason cannot receive photo images.
Any input would be appreciated!
Thank you
Something similar happens to me....i go to download the picture or whatever
and when i view it, it opens the gallery but the screen is just black...
doesnt happen too often but annoying
Lately whenever I bring up an email with pictures the "show pictures" link is always greyed out. Also greyed out in the HTC ONe native email app. This was working earlier but I must have done something to disable it. Can't find what I've done though. Anyone have any ideas?

Found a workaround for anyone else having this problem.
Bring up the email with the greyed out link
Click on the address field at the top (To
Then click on the Show Pictures and it will show the pictures
Click Always show and the pictures should now always show from this address
Don't know why this works but it does.
Hi,
I think the way the note 5 does pic messaging is a bit inconsistent. Sometimes, after selecting a pic I want to send (from the gallery app) it immediately drops the pic into the messaging app and then I just have to type in the recipients name in the top of the message. Often other times, after selecting the pic, I get the attached window pop up asking me to select the recipient.
Thanks
from the pic, when you share, doesn't it first show a list of apps you want to share through?

For me I just get to select the list of apps I want to send it with...I select "Textra" and bam..type in contact name select and send...I haven't had any issues with it over any other phone and it's very consistent.
Yes, it first shows me a list of apps I can attached the pic to. I select the stock messaging app and then that screen pops up that I showed.
Bumping this thread. Anyone else have this issue? I cant seem to fix it.
Thanks
I'm currently using a T-Mobile Note 5. Previous device was Note 4. So far, I like the phone, (N4 performance was disappointing) but there are a few quirks that I have yet to find a way to circumvent. Like anything, I'm sure there's value to someone for this stuff, just not for me.
1. When sharing an image from a gallery, it prompts me to either send to an Existing Contact or new contact. So they make the first app chosen when opening a new file or link the default app automatically (one of the quirks I don't necessarily prefer, but I can live with), but then add this?
2. Caller ID contact images for incoming and outgoing calls are tiny. I've reuploaded high res images to the contact and opened the contact locally to ensure the image was loaded and cached (so it didn't just display the small image with the blurry background) and still tiny. Both making and receiving calls.
3. If i"m doing something, incoming calls show up as a pop up card with a double ended arrow to expand it. I can live with it, but i'd prefer full screen.Any way to change that default behavior?
4. When in the messenger, tapping the paperclip to select an image attach from your gallery automatically sends the message. You can only select "Send", there is no attach option. Composing text before attaching does nothing and the picture is sent and your text stays in the text box.
I was able to solve the issue of disabling screen mirroring, and no way to keep capacitive touch buttons illuminated with the installation of a few light-weight apps that reenabled the options, but I have been unsuccessful finding anything about the four things I mentioned above.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I do not have the t-mobile version so I do not know what the difference would be but my attachment button works on the stock app.
I'm able to attach files fine, it's just the behavior when I attach them. Using the attached screenshots, I'll start out in a message and I'll tap my paperclip.
After tapping the paperclip, I'll be presented with the attach menu which as my recent photos and then the other options.
Upon selecting an option, there is only one button and that is send in the top right. If I push Send, it sends the picture. If I have text in the message field, it will NOT attach the picture so the image and text go as one message. My text stays untouched in draft and it sends just the picture.
That is weird. After I select a file I have a done button where your send button is. I wonder if it has something to with the advanced messaging for t-mobile.
All I can do is picture the Dr. Evil meme with "Advanced Messaging" in quotes...
I'll see if I can find a non-updated N5 and test the behavior. When I get a new phone I do all the OS updates first, and a fresh factory wipe so I didn't even bother looking to see what was contained in the update.
I could do without the video calling button monopolizing the entire send key area since I'll never use it...
I had to go so far as to check if Easy Mode was set up... Nice job Apple Samsung.
Either way thanks for the heads up. I was out of the loop and didn't even know about the advanced messaging and that sounds like a viable lead.
Just to close the loop on this in case someone else stumbles across it. Disabling VoLTE in the call settings "fixes" #1 and #4.
Thanks to bryyyan, which is where I first learned about this.
So earlier today I was attempting to grab an online photo of someone to associate with a contact so I don't accidentally reject the call (I tend to just let people I don't know go to voice mail). So I looked up the number with Firefox/duckduckgo, found the photo I wanted, did a press/hold and the menu pops up. Select 'Set image as' and then selected Contacts.
Contacts then crashes (I tried it twice, with the same result, except the second time it asked to close app or send feedback, vs restart app and send feedback.)
So is this a bug? Or is it me thinking the phone should be smarter than that? I mean is Contacts thinking I'm opening it AS a Contact? And since all it sees is a jpg, it crashes?
This seems like it'd be good functionality. now I wonder if Bixby would look up a photo and put it into a contact for me....
