Pictures I send are received but with gray over almost the whole picture ? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers

My father has the s7 active and almost every picture he sends to me and others, the whole picture is either gray or all screwed up.

That was happening to me when my wife sent me a photo from her s7 edge. In the messaging go to settings and turn off advanced messaging.

Just part of the SMS is shown in a Messaging app :(

I am getting a big SMS message and I can see it / read it all in Notifications. The SMS is really big. I bet it is 3x normal SMS.
But when I go to Messaging App to read it I see just a small fraction of it.
I am using Minco ROM. I am ready to switch to Stock ROM if it helps.
Anyone have the same problem that Messaging app doesnt show a full SMS message??
Thanks!

Bugs?

I'm using Martian Initiative ROM, and I've been having a couple of problems across the board in terms of ROMs.
First off, my phone refuses to send or receive text messages and phone calls at certain points. Only waiting 4-8 hours pushes all the texts through, or restarting my phone.
But seeing how it doesn't alert me that a message hasn't been sent, it's usually a good half hour before I notice.
Second issue, sometimes GoSMS and stock SMS show no messages in the inbox. Can't send messages. Received messages lead to blank template screens - similar to creating a new message.
Anyone else experienced this?
Solid 4 - 5 bar 4G LTE.

I have not had those issues on his ROM or any others. Try a fresh install.

I have had the issue with calls not going through. Update PRL & Profile fixes the issue for me every time.

I haven't had issues sending or receiving texts, but I have had massive slow downs using the stock messaging app. Like my OG Evo would run circles around this thing kind of slow. It lags sending the message, then I can't go back and my keyboard sticks on the screen. It just has very laggy behavior that I think is unacceptable for a phone of this caliber. It doesn't happen with a different messaging app though.

MMS not showing

I am pretty sure this is not just a S4 issue but a T-Mobile issue. For the past week my wife and I have not been able to receive MMS (she has a stock rooted Note 2, I have a rooted S4 running Wicked v8). Every time a MMS is sent to us we just get this message “The media content was not included due to a picture resolution or message size restriction”. We both have sent and received plenty of picture messages over the past year and have never had this issue until very recently. Did T-Mobile make an update to their APN settings? I am attaching screen shots of my current settings below.
The APN look correct. With both your phone and your wife's phone acting the same I would check with T-mobile.
What about the amount of SMS/MMS in your phone? Maybe try deleting some if it's full.
She has quite a bit, I have maybe 10 (I use hangouts for most everything).

Text Messages Screen Comes On

So as with the Note 3 the Note 4 follows the trend when receiving a text message the screen automatically comes on. This can be very annoying and dangerous when the phone is in my pocket. I was able to get around this with my Note 3 only after root and without root using GO SMS Pro which had the feature to turn that setting off. Now Go SMS Pro has updated their android app and it sucks... less than half the customization options and off coarse no option to fix the screen coming on. So what have you guys done to get around this or is there a fix?
Try handcent. Similar to the way go SMS pro used to be.

Try the app "Textra" for text messages. It's excellent and has options for waking the device or not.
Note came with Verizon text message called Message+, use this and you shouldn't have any issue.
Tried handcet and the private box feature doesnt work. the text messages still show up in regular inbox. the verizon+ doesnt have a private box so thats a deal breaker.

well you started this thread with screen turn on when receiving text, so we provide you with text apps that not turn on screen, now you dig more into feature of the text app, I suggest you should go into playstore and see what's fit your needs.

MMS Message size Limit

Is there any way to increase this? I am on sprint and when sending a MMS of any kind it shirts the photo so mall you either can't see the whole thing or it looks so bad you can't see details in it. I have never had this issue before on any sprint phone but I have also been rooted in majority if my phone's

I've note 7 and I'm having same problem. Two people (one has iPhone other Samsung) have sent me screenshots. It's really bad...only 1 out of 9 pics are received in viewable condition. Is there a setting on Note 7 that can be adjusted?
I hardly use SMS or MMS. I use whatsapp and signal and Google just came out with allo. All are cross platform.
I know your going to say but everyone doesn't use whatsapp. I find that most people do. Another option is Facebook messenger. I usually find that my friends at least one of the these messengers. The thing I like about signal is that it's like imessage in that another person with signal can communicate with you via encryption like imessage or whatsapp, but if the other person doesn't have signal, it sends it as an SMS or MMS.
I also use whatsapp, In my country the sms and mms are becoming extinct
