MMS Issues - Limited to videos and GIFs - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I've had issues with GIFs and videos since flashing Resurrection Remix ROM v5.8.2+ on my Verizon LG G3.
When I send gifs or videos, then the other party receives them just fine and they are animated. However, when I send myself a gif or video or receive them from someone else, then the GIFs arrive as stationary images while videos arrive as stationary images with an additional audio file with the same length of the video.
I thought there might have been an issue with APN settings, but I think those are fine on account of being able to send and receive MMS at all, so frankly I'm baffled as to what could be the cause of this.
I really appreciate any help and thanks in advance!

[Q] CM7 & Video MMS...

I flashed CM7 build 10 yesterday in anticipation of mostly everything working including MMS. Picture messages did indeed work, but the video messages were only a single frame from the video it was supposed to be and the vid would not play. Is that normal for our current version of CM7?

MMS and Gtalk

When you send an mms does it automoatically lower the quality of the photo to send it through mms just like all the other galaxy phones besides the nexus
Does gtalk come with video chat? or without it again like the other galaxy phones and can you use the video chat feature over data and not wifi only?
Will this all depend on carrier?

[Q] Why are the pictures I send as mms pixelated?

I'm currently using the latest build of crDROID (4.3). The camera is working fine and when I view a picture in gallery, it looks crystal clear. The problem occurs after I send a picture through messaging. The picture then looks pixelated upon viewing it. Is there a setting that I am missing? I've used other roms and not had this issue.

HEVC videos made on S9/+ not recognized by Facebook

So I did a test video yesterday, tried to upload to FB and got "It looks like you're trying to upload a file that isn't a video. Please upload a video in supported format."
This is with the FHD 1920x1080 30fps setting w/ HEVC. When I use the same setting w/ HEVC turned off, it uploads just fine.
I know FB can handle HEVC, because my previous phone (Axon7) I use HEVC video and uploaded those videos all the time without problems.
Can anyone else please confirm this happens to them so i can rule out specific issue w/ my device? If so, what's the next step - should we plead w/ Samsung or Facebook to f ix?
Hey! Please update your FB app to 171.0.0.49.92. I've had the same thing coming up for the past day all works like it should ??

LGV30+ video playback problem

I'm looking for a solution for a video playback problem my LG-H930DS (SEA) has after the 8.0 Oreo update. When I start the phone everything is working well, but after a few minutes of normal usage the built-in videoplayer cannot play video recordings made by the phone itself. It says "Cannot play video - This file type is not supported" Then I have to restart the phone to get it working again. But it fails nearly every day. I wouldn't mind this failing because I can choose a different app to play the gallery videos, but the problem is that Snap-chat videos fail to play as well when this happens, until next restart. That's the bug I cannot have. Also when the phone gets into the state of not playing videos, the ringtones and alarm clock make no sound.
To start the problem I only have to open a few random web pages in chrome, open the gallery a few times, play some videos , and in a few minutes of this usage video playback crashes. MX player, VLC and youtube still work though.
I have done a lot of troubleshooting for this problem:
Full restore of the phone
Flashed different firmwares, H930DS20b, H930DS20d, and the european variant H93020d
Tried with no apps installed, other then preinstalled ones
Tried it in safe mode
But the problem always remains.
I always use the same google account. And after upgrading to 8.0 the problem does not seem to start until I restart the phone for the first time, after that it's constantly failing. Don't know if it starts when the memory gets close to full or not, but nothing else is failing on the phone.
I have now downgraded my phone to the Android Nougat 7.1.2 (H930DS10d) and this problem is not there, no matter how hard I try to replicate it.
I can only find one link on google where this problem is reported. (problem #6)
I have contacted LG Support, and they had never heard about this, and wanted me to send my phone in for repairs. But I'm not willing to pay for shipping from Europe to Asia, if this is just a software problem.
Is someone else getting this problem, or does know a fix or a workaround for it? Or is there a way for me to view the errors the phone is running into?
Sorry for the long post, hope someone is willing to read it and give me a little help
I finally found out what the problem is. It's actually just media files in the storage I use every day. These files only contain audio, but have the extension .ts. Video playback on the phone fails because the gallery is trying to create thumbnails of them to display. The workaround for the problem was to place a .nomedia file in the folder containing those files, to hide them from the gallery. After that the problem stopped. I've been using these files for years, and it has never been a problem until Android 8.
have you tried some other video player?
stock one is quite basic and thin.
Hi, yes I do use another players, but the gallery is failing video plaback in snapchat and stopping ringtones and alarms from working aswell, without using the stock player.
Same problem here with LG V30
I have the same problem with my phone I have the T-Mobile V30 and I have the same issue. I figured out not to take videos in 4k [email protected] works fine. But the moment I create a video at 4k it either starts playing and stops midway with sound continuing to play with frozen picture or it just says it doesn't support the video.
I've been using LG phones ever since the G2 and never had any other phone or any problems with them. This one though is getting really annoying.
I hate these Q&A format threads with a passion. I wish people would just open regular threads...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Have you tried other video players like VLC, MXPlayer?
Yes sir I did many players and VLC is always on all my devices and it also gets stuck. I'll try the .nomedia file and see how that works
And I have a problem with the smoothness of video playback in gallery, whether it's a bluray movie in mp4/mkv FHD format, or from camera in FHD or in 4k is always on Android 8.0 I have a delicate jam, how would he lose single frames every 0.7sec ~ 0 , 25sec. I came back for testing on 7.1.2 and it is perfectly smooth always, as soon as I updated to 8.0 version 20d or the latest 21h there are jam ... how b was an oreo error, quite a few friends did not catch up with this problem, I'm a perfectionist and I look at every detail whether it's a video or sound, that's why I chose the highest model of the phone.
LG releases more patches (already 4) and as soon as it appears oreo are staples. You can see that this is a pfroblem with support for video caps because MX Player also has micro jams on the hardware codec.
Interestingly, youtube is fluid.
I only hope that the Android Pie will be improved.
I'm having the same problem as well please let me know when you will find the solution to this problem of smoothness of video
At first it was running smooth AF but after some time i noticed the problem after 1 day of use.
Reseting the phone didnt work.
