Picture messages won't save - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know if you can save a picture sent via text message to the sd card. I am new to android and can not seem to figure out how to do this if it is possible. Thanks

install savemms from app store

When you receive a message with an image just long press the message, NOT THE IMAGE, before you open it and you should have options.

Thanks for the info. Simple yet I never would have thought of it.

Problem with showing own profile pic

Hi, i have this weird problem with my htc hero. I can't find any awnsers or people with the same problem, so i thought i asked it here.
This is the case:
Since the new (official) (it's not rooted) rom update i have this problem with the profile pic I set for myself (the one you see in a message thread, next to the messages you send).
When ever i get a message from somebody and i open that message with the notification bar, my profile pic doesn't show in th thread (just the standard silhouette). But if i open a message via the message app, then it DOES show my image.
I have no idea how this happenes. It doesnt have to do with any apps, because i even have it after a clean rom install.
Please help me, it drives me nuts
do you have your own nmber in your address book as me?
I did this as to send test messages to myself, instead of typing my number in i couuld just type me. However this then gave me a blank image instead of my contact card image.
Not sure if this helps?

conversations disappear in messaging after 3.14 rom update

there doesnt appear to be anything in search relating to this so here goes.......
.....im getting sick of htc changing so many features and settings on this phone everytime they release an update. ive got another issue now. not mentioning the dozen ive managed to sort myself in the last day or so.
my text messages are now all over the place. if i recieve a message i hit the message icon on the scroll bar and it opens. reply and then close. normal situation. however. when i want to send another message to the same person either by opening their contact info or hitting the message icon and finding the conversation there is no info at all. wtf!!!
if i go to all messages i get a list of all recipients and the last message either sent or recieved but when i click on that person to reply the entire conversation, 1,2 10, 100 messages that are in brackets next to their name are nowhere to be seen. ive tried removing contact pictures, deleting numbers and attaching them to the contact when a message comes in. no luck. been through the messaging settings, cant find anything else to check or uncheck to resolve this situation. ive no contacts on my sim card just the phone.
cheers. i do need to know if its a general thing with this rom or is my phone just playing up? anyone else noticed this? communications is a big part of messaging and as all phones nowadays seem to be able to record and display conversations with each contact i find it hard to believe htc suddenly decided to bin the idea.
anyone got any suggestions as to how i recover this option as i cant be asked to remember the last few messages of every conversation i have. not to mention important information that i cant access if i cant pull up more than one previous message!
I have the new stock Rom 3.14, and I haven't encountered anything like you've described here. What application did you use to restore the backed-up messages after you flashed the ROM?
fixed this. i had installed a cab recently which disables the annoying 'sent message successfully' notification. but this was also causing the above mentioned problem. unistalling the cab means ive got my conversations back and all contacts/messages link properly. see here for all info and further links... http://www.htchd2forum.com/general-htc-hd2-discussion/more-hatred-for-new-3-14-rom-(conversations)/

[Q] "Online Album" when receiving an MMS

Every time I receive an MMS, a new message thread is created with "Online Album" as the recipient. When opening the thread, all I see is the text "Message not found".
Is there a way to disable this? I have no idea what made it start happening, but it's annoying to have to delete this thread every single time I get an MMS from someone.
anyone have any idea? I'm sorry it's just something I'm at my wit's end with.
I don't know how to fix this but I can tell you that it happened to me today. I was testing sending a picture to myself from computer to phone and got the message. I then took same picture and decreased the size/resolution and then had no problem, straight to phone. So it has something to do with message/picture size restrictions. Where is this on line album???!
This happens to me almost every time I get an MMS. And the contact info is always one of my contacts and never the same person, however it says "To Online Album"
Is there a copy of my MMS messages on the internet somewhere? If so, cool. However I would like to know where it is.
I get this from time to time when my wife sends me pics from her 3gs... i think it probably does have to. Do with the size

[Q] Text Messages show number not name

OK, I purchased the EVO 3D on release day from Sprint. They transfered all my contacts over from my HTC Hero. I soon started seeing some text messages showing the persons phone number and not their name. I posted the issue on another forum, and was told to delete all my contacts off the phone and log back in to my GMail to reload them. I did the complete data reset and loaded them back up with GMail. Sent a message from my wife's phone to mine and again it showed her number, but no name. I turned the phone off and then back on and tried it again and Viola, now I am getting the name as it should be. But now it is doing something even more strange. Anytime I send a text message to anyone as soon as I press send there is a text window that pops up and says "message saved as draft" . The message was sent to the person I wanted it to go to, but when you look at the main text message page it says " Draft" under the photo. I don't have people's photo so it is just the generic outline of a person. Then when I go to the drafts page the phone is making two drafts of each message that I send. I see nothing in the settings to change to keep this from happening. If anyone knows how I can correct this I would sure appreciate it.
Thanks

Can view in preview but doesn't show when opening the actual message

Afternoon...
When receiving group messages there's 1 user who's messages I can't view for some reason.
I get the pop-up and can read part of the message in preview but when I open the group message it doesn't show the actual message.
As far as I can tell it's only from this one person. I used to receive messages from them previously without a problem.
Anyway, figured I'd see if anyone has some ideas on how to fix this.
I should add, other folks I know (iPhone users) are able to see his messages just fine. He's using either a Windows phone or an Android... not sure which, but def. not an iPhone.
Oh, and I'm using the stock messaging app too...
Thanks!
Any suggestions?
