Handcent + Quickpic - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Quick question, i use handcent for messages and usually use quickpic for any gallery type features. Both are working fine as normal except if someone sends me a picture message. I can see the message fine within handcent but if i touch it to enlarge and want to use quickpic to see it i get a message in red saying load failed. If i touch the pic in handcent and use normal gallery to open it it does so fine. If i then save the picture and open quickpic normally the pic will load fine. Its just quickpic doesnt seem to work with handcent on this phone.
Anyone else using both apps and having any trouble? Its been fine using them both on my desire hd and my GS2. Just not on this phone.

Same thing happens on my wife's phone using those same 2 apps. Never did that on her old rezound phone. Any solution yet?

Hoping someone knows?
I have the S4 and although Handcent comes up as an option to view pics and vids, my phone always default to
the stock Gallery. If I disable Gallery, nothing opens.

Go to App Manager > Gallery instead of disabling it try clearing Gallery Defaults then when you try to display a picture in messaging you should get the various options to choose from

Darn! I thought, you had it!! Since I've never chosen the Gallery as my Default, the option to Clear was grayed out.
Thanks for a good thought!
I can't figure if it's a phone compatibility or Handcent but, I've always used QuickPic with Handcent.
Mainly, I like the auto Full brightness setting QuickPic offers.

[Q] Camera shutter different app

My Evo 3D always started the standard Camera when I pressed the dedicated shutter button. Now I installed Camera Effects, and it starts that one instead of the HTC Camera.
Normally, I have a choice which one I want to start, and I can choose a standard one. But this time, it just picked Camera Effects...
I already went to the app, to disable the 'standard' features, but the button was greyed out.
How do I get the HTC Amaze camera back as default camera?
Go to manage applications and wipe that apps defaults.

As I said, the button is greyed out...
I am using MikRunny 1.01, but that shouldn't be the problem.

Check the main(stock) camera app in Manage applications and CLEAR THE DEFAULTS.
Do the same in any other camera app you may have installed. Clear defaults.
Then when you press the camera button, it should ask which youd like to execute by default.
Its the same idea as if you had multiple browsers installed, for example on my nexus s. I press the browser icon in the launcher dock and it will ask me which to launch and whether I want to set it as default.
It normally asks me wether I want to make the app standard or not, but this time, I didn't.
All the defaults are already cleared, so I don't know what to do...
Sometimes it starts the normal camera app, but when I do it again, it opens Camera Effects... It's very odd...
Hmm, that's weird. I installed Default App manager, and it tells me that I don't have a default app set for the Camera.
So now I fixed it by making the Camera as default, via the Default App Manager.
This thread can be closed!
Thanks for the help!
Edit: Nope, can't be closed.
Still not fixed.
Camera is now default app, but it stíll starts the other app...
I guess I'll just delete it.
Figured I'd post this here. Worked perfectly for me.

Is there a browser that will have text reflow, like on HTC phones? Please advise!

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a third party browser that resizes text when you zoom? All of my HTC phones do this, and I LOVE this feature! Is this something that has to be in the framework, or is it just coded into the browser apps software on HTC? My Transformer Prime does it also, but only if you double tap after zooming in, which is even better in my opinion. I've always used the stock browser since ICS since it seems to work well, and the only third party browsers I've ever used are Chrome, over screen, and dolphin. I know there's a lot of other browsers out there, but I really don't want to download and try them all to track down this feature, if it even exists in a third party one?
Try Opera...that is what I have always used and I really like it!
It worked with dolphine hd perfectly. You would have loaded a non-mobile page, double tap on any text and it wouldve zoom in and reflow, but that was before i updated to ICS. Now it wont work anymore. Could also be because of the latest dolphine update. I already contact them and got a reply, then i sent them a video of this issue. It reflows the text already on loading the page, zoomed out. You can still zoom in by double tapping, but the scroll wont stick, so you also go left or right if you wanna just scroll down.

Try turning the feature on in the stock browser.
Besides the text flow...the brightness thing that is separate from the system brightness is retarded. On the video player also.

Could you clarify? I looked in Settings...Power Saving...and didn't see an option.
I also looked in the individual apps...and there wasn't a Power Savings menu. Only option to turn on or off the Automatic brightness.
Thanks.

Sorry guys. I should have been more specific.
Text Reflow = with the browser open go to settings>advanced>auto fit pages
Brightness issue = turn off power saving in the notification pull down + then open stock browser, then go to menu>Brightness and colors>Click auto brightness and make sure default is checked.
There is also an option in the display setting of the phone labeled "Auto adust screen tone". It is supposed to help battery life. I have it checked.
Both these issues drove me crazy until I figured out the new settings. Coming from GB, there is a bit of a learning curve.
Hi Guys. I am assuming you figured it out, but the thread was buried quickly so I bumped it just in case.
Does anyone else experience the text reflow issue in dolphine hd browser on ICS as i explained in this thread? I have auto fit pages on. But it doesnt work properly. And the most annoying missing feature is scroll stick. It all previously worked on GB.

Wish I could help Frank. It is working fine for me. Have you tried deleting Dolphin and starting from scratch with it? I have four different browsers on my phone until I settle on one that works for me. Learning a little more each time I try different ones. GB and ICS are very different in appearance and functionality. One step forward, two steps back.
On a separate note...can anyone delete the stock browser bookmarks that were included with the phone? I have also tried to reorder my favorite bookmarks with no luck.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Well this sucks if its only on my phone (galaxy s2).
Yes i reinstalled dolphine, but it still has the problem.
I attached a photo with a loaded page. Notice how the text in the posts is already reflowed? And if i double tap, it zoomes in, regardless of text beeing there... it just zoomes in, in the middle of where i db tapped... ill see where dolphine support gets me.

Images over MMS "play"

When someone sends me an image over MMS, if I tap it to view it full screen, it is still using only half the screen and has player controls at the bottom. It appears to have a 5-second play time. I cannot zoom or view the picture in the Gallery app or any other photo-viewing app, and I can't zoom in or scroll. The only way I can actually view it as an image is if I long-press the image, save it, then open it from ES Explorer, Gallery or similar app. This is the case with all pictures sent to me over MMS and from all senders. How do I turn this off so that the MMS app sees it as an image and not a 5-second movie?
By the way, I noticed this was the case with my S3 as well, so maybe this is more related to the Samsung SMS app than the Note II. Thanks.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to fix this issue, though I can confirm I have the same complaint about it. I have the feeling it has something to do with the Android text messaging app and how it handles attachments, and not so much how the Note 2 specifically handles them. I had this exact same issue with my Experia Play. It's an annoyance at worst to me, so I just ignore it, but if anyone knows of a workaround, I'd be glad to hear it!

chrome browser

My eyes not that great. With the stock browser if I swipe to make the text larger it usually adjusts so all the text is still on the page to be read . Not on chrome. Have to swipe left n right. I looked for a setting. No luck. Any way to fix it?
I haven't used chrome in a while, but I believe you can zoom and then double tap to realign the text.

Tried it but that just takes it back to small text again.

The only reason I'm trying chrome is because after I flash a Rom my bookmarks are losttt in space. Gets old.

But your bookmarks should be saved if you use the stock browser and save them to your email account. All of my bookmarks transfer...

Chrome doesn't have the "text reflow" feature that the stock browser has. The closest you'll get in Chrome is to go to Settings>Accessibility and increase the default text size, which will hopefully help some, at least.

Gallery app thumb nail question

Is there anyway to dismiss the row of thumbnails once you're inside an album in the gallery app?
I remember those thumbnails used to go away once you tap on a picture on the S3, but now they're there all the time.
Swipe to the left?

single tap does nothing. Double tap zooms in the picture, with the bottom row of index remaining on screen.

I misunderstood your post then.
Initially you see a list of albums, then once you go in the album you see the column on the left. Swiping to the left gets rid of that.
But once you go into a picture, you see the row you're talking about.
On my phone it disappears after 3-4 seconds, or when I do a single tap in the middle of the picture for example.

I see, from your signature, that you have a Note 2, and the behavior that you're describing is the expected one. The row of index should go away once you've tapped on the picture, or it'll go away after a few seconds. I've had many android devices, and all of them do that, except on my S4. So I was wondering if there's any way to resolve it.

I'm using the S4 now and that's the behavior on there.
Maybe try a reset? Data wipe?

I see... may I ask if you have flashed any ROM? I'm on Hyperdrive RLS2, maybe that's the problem.
Hi,I linked the thread that I started asking the same question, on page 1. I am on Hyperdrive and this is happening to me, so maybe it is the problem?
For me though, doesnt really matter anymore as I have bought Camera and Gallery JB+, which are superior (other than losing a few of the Samsung app features). These replace the stock apps and act just as the normal JB apps. No issues like this exist that I can see.
Maybe grab the gallery apk from the stock ROM if you are also running Hyperdrive ROM, but that may or may not fix the issue.
Also, if you use the stock gallery and camera apps, they will be cut off and weird looking if you happen to decrease your DPI in the build.prop like I did (I just went from 480 to 460 and even that causes a column of gallery albums to get cut off). Again, using Gallery JB+ fixed this for me as well.

Can Gallery JB+ sync picasa albums?
I believe so but not 100% sure. I don't see why not, it acts just like stock JB app in every way.

Do you have Lightflow or an app that needs accessibility access? Then that might be the culprit. I deselected Lightflow and my gallery app could go full screen without having the top and bottom bars. It's a Tradeoff if we want to use those apps.

I remember reading somewhere on these forums that Lightflow activates the Talkback feature. Then that got me thinking when I selected multiple photos and I heard the talkback speak. I thought that Lightflow could be the problem and tried it out and boom. I received my answer.
