Must I PLAY a received picture?? (GS2 on Tmobile)

A

Android Question

Guest
Before I upgraded to 4.1.2 via Kies, viewing of sent/received pics within factory messaging app was simple. I could simply tap a received picture and view it full size. Now received pictures are forced into a mms "player" that shows the picture in reduced size for 5 seconds. To see in full size, I must go back to the thread, long press the thumbnail, and save to gallery before viewing full screen. Argh!

What a hassle, as I often don't want or need to save the dang picture. Just want a quick look and move on. Similarly, I used to be able to easily display pictures I had SENT to others - same deal.

Is there a solution to this annoyance??
