After updating there is ABSOLUTELY no option to add a caption or "subject" Text to a picture in the native messaging app. On last version you select a picture from galley and a thumbnail of said picture would be inserted into the body of the MMS and you have the option to enter text. Now you have no option at all only option is to send the picture directly

I noticed this too, I don't understand why they'd do this :what::what:
Yes! Completely ridiculous! T-mobile of course has "no info" on the issue.
I guess there is still no fix for this? For some reason this is a huge let down. Something so simple that should have been left alone.
You can. First open the message app, select new message icon on bottom right hand side, add attachment, then you can write the caption. Lastly select recipient and send. It's a hassle but the only way to do it

some one pls confirm if SMS forwarding is working on WWE middle east ROM......
Yes, it's working.
If you are using threaded view for the SMS -
scroll to the message you want to forward, then highlight the contact who SENT the message to you.
Click on menu... The Forward option would be available.
If you are NOT using the threaded view for the SMS
Open the message. On the top of the screen you would have the contact who sent the message to you. place the stylus over it and hold it there for a bit. A pop menu appears with the Forward Option.
ahaa thanx lot,
so the trick is on threaded view have to select. nice
Happy to help

Its very irritating. everytime you click on the Contact, it goes into contact mode. You have to click on the contact, go into the contact, exit contact before the msg will allow you to forward.
Is tehre a shorter method? I don't feel like clicking so many times everytime i want to forward a message.
Ok... how do i save a particular sms?
is there anyway to do it?

SAVE? well, you could always move it to another folder.
Yes you can make folders
Goofy, I have disabled threading for the text messages, and that makes forwarding easier..
just placing the stylus on the contact name (appearing at the top of the message) and holding it there for a few seconds - pop up menu - and then forward.
I don't think it's THAT difficult
Besides - having the text messages in a thread/conversation form - I just found it cluttered.
took me a while to find the message I was looking for, because I had to open a few conversations before I could find it.
Well partly my fault, couldn't recall who sent it to me. but then again, in the non-threaded view, it's easier because I can see the first few lines of the text..
I find scrolling easier, than opening a conversation and then scrolling and then closing and opening another one and doing the same - just because the message I was looking for was not in that conversation
Hi!
Does anyone else have problem with MMS on the Diamond?
I cant receive pictures but get the MMS but there is only text
I can send to others and it works for them but I cant send to myself or receive from others.
Sound or text gets through but not the pictures, no matter the resolution or size of the picture. I get the paperclip-icon in the corner but the message is without the picture.
The MMS-settings are correct. What can be wrong?
Hi,
I have experienced this though I know the images are there, but it's just seems its a pain in the arse to show it. If I am wrong somebody correct me.
From the message home screen, you can see you nice new MMS with the text and the paper-clip indicating the attached image. If you press the screen to display the message, I have found it just takes you to the threaded message view and again shows you and image/sound icon. Indicating something, either sound or image is attached. By pressing the image icon it is hit and miss whether or not it shows you the image. It always seems to go straight back to the message home screen displaying the message the image came with. Very frustrating.
A way around this for me was to disable the threaded message option. Now when I get a new MMS from pressing the screen displaying the message it simply then displays the attached image. Whilst the image is on the screen it gives you 2 options 'contents' and 'menu'. Contents shows you what the message comprises off, text and and image. If you press and hold on the image, it then gives you the option to save the image. The Menu option lets you reply, forward, view text or show message details or contact details.
Hope this helps.
Hi aggain,
I will try this, where do I disable threaded message? I am looking for it right now.
Thanks for the tip!

You'll need to install both of these.
"schaps advanced config" then "Boinger66 diamond advanced config". They work in tandem.
Once installed, launch advanced config. You will find there is the option to disable threaded messaging. Do this, restart and see the difference.

Thanks allot! Now it works fine. What is threaded message anyway? What does it do?
It put's all your messages from one person and yourself to that person in a IM like mode. It's somewhat like this forum..
Me:hi
otherperson: hello
me:how are you?
etc..
In not threaded mode you will see all incoming messages together and the sent one in an other folder..
(sry if I'm incorrect about something here..)
Ah ok, thanks for the answer and the help! But why doesnt it work activated? Is it deactivated on the older HTC models or is it about the new WM 6.1?

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?
(Sent from another Galaxy via Tapatalk)
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.

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.
In my S8 I was using messages version 4.4.30.50 and it had the ability to schedule text message. I don't see that in S10. If it's truly not there, do you guys know of text msg app I can switch too that gives scheduling?
Yes, the option to send schedule messages is still there.
Go to messages app, open a conversation (or start new one by selecting the contact and when selecting the box to input the message) select the plus sign and select "Schedule Message".
Thanks got it!
