pictures come as videos - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Any reason why when I receive a picture it comes as a video? I mean if I forward it, others get it as a picture. If someone sends me a picture and types something in the message before sending it, the whole thing comes as a video. I have to sit and watch the words on the screen for a few seconds, then the picture comes up. If I happen to miss the words, I have to stop the video and restart it. This is just a quirky annoyance, but an annoyance nonetheless.
This has happened on CM7, UnNamed, and stock roms, so I'm thinking it's inherint to the Droid OS. Any way to stop it, or anything anyone can shed some light on about it?

Same here. VERY annoying. I downloaded Gosmspro just so I wouldn't have to watch a picture as a slide show.BTW first Android device.

It is not inherent to the ANDROID system. I hate when people call it a Droid. If I wanted a "Droid" I would have gone to Verizon and gotten one.
As stated it depends on what app you are using for texting. Gosmspro is probably the best and doesn't do slideshow mms like the stock mms app does.

I found a fix and have tested it with the unnamed ROM. flash the mms.apk from CM7 and this will go away.

I noticed this on mine the other day. Was totally confused. Guess it's time to check out another SMS apparently...

mms.apk is in /system/app . download CM7 and open up the zip file. drag mms.apk to your desktop.
I have installed it and tested it 2 ways. the first was by just adding it to another ZIP and flashing it ( I used the 14 panel MOD file ). If you have SDK installed you can also do this...
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb remount
remount succeeded
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb push Mms.apk /system/app

There is a way to save them. Play the MMS, press menu, attached items and click save.
The way to forward them is to long press the message (not the picture) and additional options will become available. Press forward and you are done.
MMS as a video/slideshow is really annoying. Hopefully there is a fix without having to install the CM version.

It's not inherent on the Android operating system. My Xperia X10 and multiple other Androids do not do this. I think it's a Samsung thing because on my X10 the gallery app opens up the MMS.

Issue: MMS photo is seen as video

So my issue is when my wife's iPhone sends me a MMS photo the Atrix thinks its a video. It won't open it up full screen and actually has a play button and runs it as if it is playing a video.
Any ideas why? Anyone else notice this?
This is with ALL Android phone I have had to date. It shows as if a slideshow. You have 5 secs to view a picture, if more are attached it 5 secs per photo. So if someone send you 3 pictures in 1 mms then you have to watch for @ least 11 seconds to see all 3 pics. Thats just Android in general.
Third party messaging apps such as handcent do not behave this way so I don't understand why stock mms apps insist on doing so.

Long press on the message, and press View Image.
for this reason alone is why i use GO SMS instead of stock messaging app. it is the same way on my captivate and my G2
Why I find this so funny is it did not happen on my N1

I think it only happens when a manufacturer overlays their own UI like HTC Sense or MotoBlur. Nevertheless, it is an Android thing.
the bone stock mms apps don't do the slide show, and I dont mean bone stock as the ones that came with your phone that have HTC sense, motoblur, etc. etc
I mean the ones that came with pure android. N1, NS.
If you install the latest Gingerblur you get this functionality. No more slideshows.
Alternatively, ive attached the mms.apk that gingerblur installs. You gotta have root + sideloading capabilities.
rename /system/app/conversations.apk to conversations.apk.bak
copy mms.apk to /system/app
then just fire up your mms app as normal. It looks totally different. if you had the mms app on your homescreen it's now gone. you have to put it there again
I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS WILL WORK WITHOUT THE COMPLETE GINGERBLUR PACKAGE INSTALLED. ATTEMPT AT OWN RISK. although i don't really see the harm in it. if it doesn't work i would imagine just rename mms.apk to mms.apk.bak, and revert conversations.apk.bak back to converstaions.apk

Unfortunately a no go... this would be nice to have... think we can get this repackaged as a stand alone apk that we can install?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
You would have to ask a dev to get that done, such as kenneth, who made gingerblur. I don't have a clue how to do it other than what I outlined above, and from what you say it sounds like whatever other changes gingerblur makes are a prerequisite. Maybe suggest it in the dev forum?

Handcent and Go SMS

Just got my Photon yesterday afternoon. Woot!
Having a couple issues with Handcent and Go SMS (trying them both out).
Handcent: Background images, in both the list and conversations, is very distorted.
Go SMS: Background image is SLIGHTLTY blurring (could just be me though) but main issue is contact pictures won't show, in list or conversation. They show fine in Handcent.
Any of you having similar issues. I haven't tried a reinstall of each. I kinda thought it was just an app thing and the dev's haven't updated them for the photon yet.
Thanks.
are you using facebook for your pictures? If so if im not mistaken facebook does not allow other apps to use the pictures. use syncmypix to sync the facebook pics to your gmail account and that should take care of it.

Thanks for mentioning that app. Exactly what I've been looking for.
I am using Facebook but my contact pics appear fine. They show up in my Contacts app, GMail and Handcent just not in Go SMS.
Handcent: Background images, in both the list and conversations, is very distorted.
Try going to Handcent settings -> Notification settings -> Popup settings -> scroll down to "blur background" and check or uncheck as appropriate.
Seriously?
kimmied, you are an idiot. The problem is BACKGROUND and CONVERSATION list images. How is changing the POPUP settings going to fix the problem?
people astonish me.

As the OP said. I don't know if this is a specific problem to the Motorola Photon, or not. I just got mine a couple weeks ago. But I am having the same problem. For right now, I've just been having to use a theme, and the backgrounds for those are fine. But when I try to set my own picture as the conversation list background, they are blurry and distorted. I've tried several different pictures, all HD. For me it's JUST the conversation list background. The background on the chat is fine. I have been trying to be patient and wait for a Handcent update and one was released a few days ago, but still no fix =[

hey galaxy_s.. what astonishes me is how people pounce on someone else's mistake and try to use it to somehow prove how intelligent they are.. why didn't you offer up a solution? i don't see the point of taking the time to post when you aren't going to add anything to the discussion.. that thanks meter of yours will probably say 0 until you learn to quit acting like a child..
as far as the topic goes, I have learned over time that android handles images very inconsistently.. try using quickpic or something when you crop the picture you are using for the background.. i could be way off with that, but i know that i've had success with wallpapers by using different apps (wallpaper set & save, etc.) for cropping..
for contact pictures, do this (I apologize if this was listed or you already know it):
1. open GoSMS
2. on conversation list page hit menu
3. go to settings
4. click advanced tab
5. click appearance settings
6. click conv. list customization
7. click display contact pictures?
8. click yes
9. back out and save your customization
NOTE: it should start using it automatically but if it doesn't choose it from the user defined settings list found under the 'conv. list customization' link
if i misread what you're saying and you cant see contact pictures but you see the placeholders then the issue might be the native contact not storing contact pictures in the same place that gosms is looking for them at...
okay.. i'm done..
galaxy_s.. tell your mom to call me so she can pick up her clothes..
look look...

[Q] MMS pictures being viewed as slideshow, any fix?

It gets really annoying that even when I get a single picture in a text, it plays it like a slideshow. Is there any fix for this, or any other way to disable it?
Aside from getting Handcent or GOSms that is.
Running CM9 btw.
Might want to post in the cm9 thread that you're using. It might be a bug with the rom that the developer could fix.
Nah, it's like that in every rom I've used. It's not a bug, its a "feature" of Android.

Not a feature in any android rom I've used. Never have I gotten a single pic come thru as a slideshow on stock messaging or handcent.
You can long press on the message and press on download attachments. Then you could watch the pictures full sized on the gallery without any forced slideshow. I know it doesnt really fix things, but it's the workaround I use.

Paranoid/CM10/hybrid/NIGHTLIES ONLY/jamied81

I am opening this thread to stop the confusion in main dev and Q&A for Jamie's main ROM. This thread is ONLY for Q&A for his NIGHTLY BUILDS. Let's keep things separate. PLEASE help each other out and when you post please tell us what date you are on. Be as descriptive as possible and in no way expect Jamie to respond.....again...help each other out and BE KIND. It is NOT the end of the world if things are not just so. :laugh:
All aspects of this ROM are in DEVELOPMENT...
Please give thanks..meaning HIT THE THANKS button if someone has helped. PLEASE search and use the resources of XDA and do not expect to be spoon fed.

and usb storage is only broken on tablet mode, use multi mount sd-card or something. it works flawless in phablet/phone mode.

Dozens, google it. Wifi file transfer, ES file manager... the list goes on and on.
Or switch yourself out of tablet mode.

So it took me awhile to figure this out. I kept trying to move files from my computer to my phones sd card via usb mass storage mode....well while the large files were being exported I would walk away and come back to find there was a error and the files were not exported. It ends up being that when the Screen Timeout turns off the screen it also disconnects the mass storage mode and kills my export. Other then the hassle of having to change the time out duration, is there a way to change the settings of mass storage mode to override the timeout function and always stay on when in this mode? Worse comes to worse I could always make a toggle for it in my notification bar, but just thought I would ask if this is possible through the phone or 3rd party app, etc.
Message length
Hi, all,
I really hope I am asking this in the right place. I asked in the general q&a for Jamie's ROM and was directed here.
There was a question on page 92 or 93 in the other q&a about truncated message length, and after searching and re-reading I could not find any answers to the original poster's question...
I am now on the nightly build, and it is great! Kudo's Jamie!
My question is: I sent a message that exceeded 160 characters and it got sent as two messages, using stock messaging, has anyone else had this, and does anyone know of a fix?
I wiped, and did factory reset, updated with ROM, then did update with the nightly from Aug 20, and also reflashed Gapp, wiped Dalvik etc.
Everything else is working very smoothly, wouldn't go back to ICS for anything, just can't seem to send a long message?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Dan
How is everyone's WiFi on the newest build(Aug 19)? I have consistently been getting dropped from my wifi network then reconnected after 30-60 seconds. I've been on this rom for the past 3-4 builds and this is the first time I've encountered this issue.

On previous builds some have experienced issues with texting, i dont know if i would say sms splitting as an issue requiring a "fix". Personally as being one who has had issues with texting in the past i am just happy it sends over 160 without failing completely or converting to mms.
Try a third party sms maybe if it bugs you.

As far as transferring large files, android has always had issues transferring large files. From Jb-donut. I've felt the irritation, especially if the large file contains hundreds of smaller files. Just something ya gotta deal with. What worked for me if applicable was splitting the large file into smaller pieces for transfer. If thats not a possibility i find WiFi transfer to be a better option (solid explorer or es).
As well in dev options enable stay awake so phone screen dont shut off when usb is connected.

Thanks, I have really never had a issue with my phone screen timing out and mass storage turning off. It must have started on one of the latest updates.

Teach P.A. 3.99 how to KitKat... How I did it.

Hello everyone!
I have the amazing Galaxy Note 2 on big red. I have been a flash junkie for quite some time and have tried just about every flavor (rom) I could find. Some with more success than others.
After Google finally released 4.4 into the wild, I wanted to see what it was like. I am not able to build for this device but when time permits I do want to learn. I am a family man and our life is quite busy. Anyways...
I did a clean flash of the latest P.A. & Gapps so I would have a fresh start. Now, on to the quick and easy...
FLASH ALL THE THINGS!
Step 1 ~ Get the Google Experience Launcher:
PreBuiltGmsCore (Google Play Services 4.0)
Velvet (Google Search)
GoogleHome (Google Launcher)
FIX: Google Search Force Close:
Long press the home screen, select Settings. Select Voice. Select Language to change the default. Change to another language, I choose English – UK. Hit Home. Do a Google Search. Repeat the first three steps. Change back to English – US.
Step 2 ~ Grab the new apk's from the Nexus 5 dump:
Calendar (v201308021)
Clock (v3.0.0)
Email (v6.0-893803)
Gallery (v1.1.40304)
Gmail (v4.6.1)
Camera (v2.0.001)
Hangouts (v2.0.012)
Keep (v2.0.50)
Google Keyboard (v2.0.19003.893803a)
Step 3 ~ Pimp it out!
Grab the flash-tastic kitkat sounds and font's from here!
Profit!
Say thanks to any dev that has ever been helpful! They are what makes this whole shindig possible.
A quick note:
I have compiled these links and information from various sources across the interwebs. I do not claim any of the links as my own as this is simply intended as a resource for others.

Didn't have time to flash this clean with my daily driver but it was cool while I used it. The Google search kept force closing even after I did your fix it would work for an hour then fc but again I didn't flash a clean ROM with pa gapps. Is it absolutely necessary to flash Pa gapps?

Not to my knowledge. Others have stated they have had issues while some haven't. I may have been one of the lucky ones. So far it works great. Occasionally, there is a slight delay but it is not often.

I flashed a 4.3 rom and tried the hangouts again. Everything works except the pics. They send and receive fine, it's just half the time they wont load for me to see, just a black box. Same thing on my TW rom. Darn it, I want hangouts for my sms!!
I have hangouts working perfectly with jelly beans build 22. No black boxes for pics, no force closes. Weird how it's touch and go for everyone. I did nothing fancy to get it working either. Followed instructions from another post. It's very important to reboot after installing. That solved my initial issue of hangouts stuck on connecting for video chats.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention I am running this and it is awesome. Everything seems to work except for me I am having issues with GPS and then if i send a new message to someone in hangouts it never gets received. If someone sends me a message then i can use that conversation in hangouts to chat with them.
I want to believe its an issue because of my google + account.
If anyone uses the email app for work/exchange mail, they will need to push the exchange services apk to the system/app/ folder.
Edit: Fixed that name violation with my google+ account and hangouts messaging works perfect now. If only we could fix gps

Edit: I had to install the 3 apks as well

Multiple force closes
I had many FCs especially Google+ which would bring all else to a stand still. I resorted to flashing my nandroid backup and chalked it up to experience. I t did give me a taste of the new launcher which was interesting.
