I realize I'll probably get yelled at because the answer is probably somewhere painfully obvious, although I've searched and haven't found anything... How exactly do you save/downloads pictures from the browser or email, etc to your phone? I tried to do a long press and wait for the option to come up, but just isn't happening for me.
Please be nice, it's been a long day... :-/ lol
I struggled with this myself...
for the browser it is long press/hold and an option will come up, but if your at the mobile version of the website you wont be able to (except for some sites) if you switch to desktop view (full html) you will get the long press/hold options.
Email (gmail client) I have not been able to figure it out not sure if there is a way to, except for clicking the attachment and let it open on your phone then save as within the program that opened the attachment or picture, or open gmail in the browser
hope this helps a little, If someone else knows a way please shed some light
I'm trying out 2.2 and have the default email client (not Gmail) set up to sync with an exchange server. I can't open jpg files sent as attachments. I can open other formats (pdf, doc, etc).
I assume this is because the email client doesn't think there's an app set to default for jpg files, but Gallery and Astro both have viewers and open just fine when I click on a jpg file already on my device.
Does anyone know where/how I set the default jpg viewer in such a way that the email client recognizes it?
Thanks!

black moon doesn't seem to work with the default email app (not gmail). It's probably the apps problem. I don't see any way to preview on attachment. As I posted earlier,I only have this problem with jpegs. I can open other files attachments. The open/preview button just isn't there on the jpeg attachments. But thanks for the suggestions!
I was able to open email, pull down notification bar, tap down arrow of attachments, option to save or open attachment.

is there a way to see photos attachment on a mail???if i look at them on the gmail web they shows,but not on the magic gmail app.any idea?
I second that! WTF? You know? I have the MT3g. Google branded! (Obviously) Google put they're name on it. And, you can not even open or view attachments in their own Gmail app. They failed largely with it in my opinion. It would be nice if they, or somebody else could provide a fix for this.
i had problems with pictures sent to me, but if i was able to "preview" pdf's and videos...
There needs to be able to save attachments to phone and be able to attach files to email, not just pictures..
Not sure if you have rooted your Magic but if you run JACHeroski v1.7r2 you certainly can view the pics... mmmm ;-)
One huge flaw of the gmail app is the option to save attachments.
Well I accidently came across this simple and great free app...
Blackmoon Attachsave Lite
I've been able to save my PDF attached files from work, on to my SD card, with no issues
And it blends in with the gmail app. Click on preview attachment and it'll pop-up asking to open with the default viewer or save to SD card.
And very small file size for the install
another gripe: can't copy text from the email using gmail app.
You can also try GSaver to save or open your gmail attachment on Android.
just search GSaver to find it out. It's completely free

Cannot see any email attachments when receiving photos etc...I see the paper clip icon but no where to view and no option to download...any ideas?
Just tap the paper clip for it to download
Tried, just takes me to mail subject page..
I can
I just opened and excel Spreadsheet no problem. It works like previous WINMO phones- tap the attachment to download and them tap to view.
What format is the pic in? Are u sure it's a picture and not a video?
I copied a picture and pasted it into HTML format email.
Sent it to GMAIL and to my EXCHANGE account.
GMAIL won't download the full picture but does give reference where it came from.
EXCHANGE downloaded the picture perfectly fine. Along with the referencing link from the properties of the picture.
I have Gmail account only, I can see attachment icon in inbox list, but when I click attachment it opens message..is it because of Gmail?
I copy and pasted a photo into a new Gmail message, and sent it back to me and it displayed on my phone just fine.
Same when I sent an e-mail from Gmail to my Hotmail account. Displayed on the phone just fine.
just tried myself, You are correct it does work, the image in question was sent from someone with an Iphone..maybe it attaches images different way?

Well I just sent a photo with my iPod Touch to my Gmail account, checked it on my phone, and it appears as an attachment right under the "To: My Name" here. I just tap it, it downloads, and I can view it.
Thanks anyway.
iPhone pictures not getting downloaded
You are right. I was thinking about the same thing.
I was sent a few emails with pictures of their kid from an iPhone. I did get the email and it does show that there are 2 attachments. But when I tap on the attachments, the link just disappears and the email content is blank. Where as the same email, when I check in my Gmail account, I see the pictures in the body of the mail.
I tested the attachments issue by sending myself a jpeg file, and it downloaded just fine. So, I am not getting the pictures sent via iPhone (to my gmail account).
Can anyone check this?
when pics are to small it happens.. my friend sent me small resolution pics and i couldn't see them email shows the attachments but when click nothing happens.. i tried big pics and works perfectly
Been reports the gmail app has attachment download issues. I tested it again and no go on the download this time. Forwarded the same email to my exhange and it worked fine. Wait for gmail update.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
same here pics sent from iphone no luck
I was trying to send an email last night with an attached screen capture that I did on the NC but for some reason it doesn't work. When I add the attachment, it shows up in the gmail interface on the NC, and it sends, but when it arrives in the inbox, no attachment.
Anyone else have this issue. I tried to search but not results.
Just tested and it works fine on my NC (1.0.1 autonooter 12.18)
I have the same issue

It appears the issue is only with astro. Doing it from the gallery worked just fine
You can attach any file to an outgoing gmail message from Root Explorer. There's a market app called attach email too.
work around
I'm having the same issue attaching a screenshot. If I go through the Gmail app and attach the screenshot, the email is received, but no attachment. If I go through ES File Explore, navigate to the screenshot, long hold, choose share, gmail, it opens up Gmail app with attachment showing, but I get the same results. The email is sent, but no attachment.
This is what I noticed though:
Original screenshot is located here: /media/Screenshots/
If I copy/move it to: /sdcard/media/Screenshots/, I can attach/send/receive the screenshot in both ways that I mentioned above.
It's like the Gmail app can't get into the internal memory or something.
FYI - I created the folder Screenshots on /sdcard/media/
Hey guys did some searching already and I was able to find some similar posts but never one with the exact same issue. I was wondering if it is possible to set the native Gmail app to always display pictures? Yes its right at the top of the app but its kinda a pain to have to hit every time I want to see the pictures. My thoughts behind why google does this is to cut down on data usage for those who do not have an unlimited plan, but they could atleast include the option somewhere. Anybody know of any work arounds or mods that can be used to always display the pictures in the native Gmail app?
Thanks in advance guys
I Second!
Looking for a work-around on the Gmail app that will auto-show images from my CCTV system. Downloading attachments one-by-one can be painfully slow on Gmail so I'm using K-9 Mail from Market which gives me more speed in favour of the 'Batch Operation' = open email - all images load - scroll through images.
Even logging onto my account through stock browser is faster and shows a preview of all the attached images but not enough to define detail.
I would prefer an app modded or otherwise as sometimes my browser hangs on HSDPA and preview is not sufficiant.
Just to clarify, I would like to be able to tap an email and have the images load vertically down the page so that I can scroll through them.
Warm regards.
