Just wanted to throw this question out to you Sprint Hero and maybe the android community in general. I wanted to know if anyone else is having the same problem I am with pictures in text messages. The issues I'm experiencing are two-fold:
1. All pictures are displayed as "Slideshow (1 slide)" Which means that when I click on it I can view the picture for 5 seconds before it goes back to the text message thread. This happens for ALL pictures I receive on every carrier. Well, I don't know anyone else on Sprint so I haven't verified that the same thing happens with Sprint. Is this the "expected" behavior? If it is, it's pretty damn annoying.
2. So, if I have the problem I listed in #1 I'm actually pretty lucky. Because usually I can't see the pictures at all. Not at least without rebooting my phone. You see, when I receive a picture in a text and I touch it to open it, the phone actually redirects me to another text message thread. Yeah, you read that right. Clicking on a picture (or, rather, the "slideshow" button) doesn't open the picture, it sends me to the text message thread of someone else. And if I hit the "back" hard button it takes me to the text message thread of someone else. The it takes me back to the home screen. So then I have to drill back into the HTC Text Message widget and try to open the picture again. But that never works, it just redirects me back to another person's text message thread. Repeat until I finally get fed up and reboot the phone. THEN I can click on the picture and open it.
So, anyone else? Or is it just me? Bueller? Bueller?
