Hi All,
I have a rooted Galaxy Mini, and recently had to do a factory reset due to some software corruption, everything has been fine up until yesterday, I entered a competition via text on my phone and when I received the reply I was in the process of sending another text, but when I look on the conversations in the messages panel the text doesn't appear. The notification area and the messages icon say I have a new text but I cant see it, and so cant delete it. when I open it it just goes to new message creation.
I have tried a few different apps which have found the message but still cant delete it, I also tried using Kies but that doesnt allow you to view texts.
anyone any idea's?
Thanks
Craig
Try "RemoteWebDesktop" by 'SmartDogStudios" on the Play Store. It lets your PC view your messages

Hi
Might be missing the obvious here but this is my first Sony Android device. Sometimes my Z2 might have trouble sending an SMS text message and I get the message "could not send" with a red emoticon. With my previous HTC devices, I was able to click on the message and select 're-send' however that option isn't available to me on the Z2. Right now, all I can do is re-type the same message but surly there is an alternative?
Thanks[/I]
Hi
Turns out it was a fault with my phone. I returned the phone to EE and the new phone works fine. To anyone else experiencing this issue, you should have the option to re-send after long clicking on the message.
Would have really appreciated someone helping me out with that.
I had sent like 700 msgs in groups. Very few actually went out and now i have deleted all msgs but cannot get rid of the msgs failedpopping all over my screan.and i can't seem to delete them in any other way. How do i get rid of the not sent and why were they not being sent?
Has anyone else noticed animated gifs via MMS not working when someone sends you one? My friends and I like to use them as quick responses and they're getting mine just fine but theirs comes through as a still. Despite opening the gif in Gallery or QuickPic, the gif appears to be broken. Also, it doesn't seem to matter which text app I use. Stock, Hangouts, or even Verizon Messaging shows all animated gifs broken. In case you're wondering, I use Hangouts primarily because it shows the gifs animated in-line. I'm also not rooted and I have no interested in rooting until after I've played around with the Lollipop update (whenever that happens).
Here are some things that I've noticed:
(1) It started happening when I got 12B
(2) A factory reset doesn't solve the problem
(3) Hangouts <-> Hangouts shows animated gifs properly but MMS -> Hangouts is broken
(4) People are still receiving my gifs animated
So what's going on? Is anyone else having this problem? Is it a Verizon issue?
Any suggestions, help, info, whatever would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Update
I installed Textra and it appears to be handling animated gifs no problem. But... this still doesn't explain why they don't work in any of the 3 SMS/MMS apps that come with the G3. Problem solved for now but it's really more of a bandaid than a true fix.
Hmm must not be a Verizon issue since Textra works. Shame we can't just blame them. Gifs play in Hangouts for me in-line as you described with 12b. There were some cases on google forums where clearing Hangout app/cache, uninstalling Hangouts, reboot, and reinstalling Hangouts worked for some but I don't think you can do that unrooted. Plus you have already factory reset anyways. I'm assuming your Hangouts is up to date.
On a side note, after taking the LP update you might no longer have the choice to root if they block rolling back to 10b which I'd say is highly likely. Best to unlock bootloader now. Within days of release the devs will release the LP OTA in a flashable zip. Just my two cents.

Could you share your settings? I'm still unable to get gifs to work in Textra. I'm using a G3 on Verizon.

I haven't touched the settings other than what it automatically took care of. It was weird, though, last night I suddenly stopped receiving texts in a timely manner so I uninstalled Textra and reinstalled it. Problem solved and it was working again. Have you tried that?
The first time I installed Textra on my L3 (I used it religiously on my old rooted HTC Evo3D) I was on one of the previous builds like 10 or something and it seemed to break texting entirely. All texts that I sent stayed in "sending" limbo while I wouldn't receive texts from anyone else. Even uninstalling Textra didn't fix the problem so I had to do a factory reset to get texting back. It has only been since gifs broke in stock/Hangouts that I even decided to install Textra again. I'm on 12B and now it works fine for me but I have no idea why.
I actually just realized that you can access a giphy library from within textra. I was trying to save gifs from chrome and attach but that didn't work. But using the gifs from within textra worked perfectly. I did change my MMS proxy port to 80 based on something I read on androidcentral, but I'm not sure that's necessary.

Update - that didn't last long
Textra has decided to spontaneously stop allowing me to send animated gifs larger than 2mb. I've gone into the MMS settings and changed the sending settings to "no limit" and it's still rejecting the send. Odd, it worked just fine up until a couple of days ago.
Trying other texting apps allows me to send large gifs but still received animated gifs are still broken. I'm getting really tired of this the reps at my local Verizon store are idiots.
Hi
I'm in the UK, currently using my new unrooted Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge (SM-G925F), updated to 5.1.1. When I'm typing normal text, doesn't matter if it's a text, Hangout message or FB Messenger message, emoticons come up in the middle of my words, when I've not even gone anywhere near the emoticon key. I like a keyboard that has a number line above the QWERTY keyboard, so have been using Swiftkey, but it's also happened with the Google 1, which isn't a 3rd party one (as far as I know).
Has anyone else had anything like this? I've done searches, can't see anything similar.
Am thinking I'll try a wipe first just to see if that'll help the issue, but any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
How in the world do I get the phone icon to show up on a Verizon Tab S6?
I see the "phone" in the apps but can't figure out how to get the icon on the home screen?
I also can't get Samsung Messages or Textra to show up on this tablet.
Guess Verizon wants everyone to use their Messages+ app but I want to use Textra and can't.
Any ideas how I can get Textra or the stock Samsung Messages apps to show up on this tablet?
