Having serious issues sending whatsapp messages and receiving. Just curious if anyone else is...
Same here ?
Sent from my 920 using Board Express
WhatsApp is not yet fully compatible with WP8. An update is expected to be available soon.
Curious, what region are you? Because is not showing at all in the Windows Store here in NY.
I got it before they removed it from the store.
I use it on 7.5 and have stopped updating it when updates come out as it keeps getting worse. One of the things I wanted to see in WP8 was the ability to revert to the previous version for when developers release ****ty versions of their app and you want to use the old one.
Ya it sucks. I wish there was an alternative as good as it. Also, when I get a notification, it doesn't show the name I have set for the person in my contacts list. Its like its picking up some other name from another app or,something.
I have numerous issues, which i guess everyone seem to have. Other than no Video support (I used send and receive videos from my family on my One X ..not any more), all other issues seem to have been identified by the whatsapp guys. See link:

They blame Microsoft..!
I need this aplication
Its not very useful anyhow. I hope we get a working version soon.
This is something I've had issues with for a while, but I found switching to Textra and enabling "legacy mode" in it's settings fix it (or at least bypassed it).
At any rate this fix is no longer possible due to Google so now I'm looking for a real fix or custom ROM to truly uncover just WTF is going on. I'm hoping a really smart person here knows exactly the what and why and hopefully even knows a setting in system that I'm unaware of.
Short version is that when I receive GIFs they are not animated and pictures are very compressed and pixelated on almost all texting apps... and the few that don't do this I dislike (I also suspect they too will have the issue with the update to Google policy).
Here's my Reddit post looking for help to which I at least learned I can't update my app any longer... the dev explains some on what's going on.

I'm on a V30, unlocked and Rooted bought from B&H on release.. I used to be on GfUDP, but updated to Above Beyond a couple months ago. It seems since I didn't buy from Verizon I started having issues like this... which is BS (like the inability to use the visual voicemail from Verizon).
thanks for any insight or help about this. I'd like a permanent solution on system so I can use any text app I want or at least upgrade my current one.
edit, oh... sending gifs of pictures has never been an issue... only receiving them. go figure.
Hello S9+ Fans,
yesterday I updated my S9+ to Android Pie. Lots of new, nice things.
But in the new camera app the video recording button is no longer available. You have to FIRST switch to video mode and them press recording button. To have two buttons, one for Photos and one for videos was a brilliant, very much loved thing. As when you are 'in action' you simply can decide with one click what you aim to do, without priorly having to switch the modes !
Does anybody know how to get the second button back ?
I am even extremely thinking about bringing the old camera app back if it is not possible with the new one. Is there any way to do this please ?
Sorry if I might have overseen a thread handling this already.
Kind regards
Any fix for this?
First they took out dual camera mode then these "dual shooting buttons"... and moved the clock to the left whyyy samsung??!! Not happy with the Android 9 pie s9 s9+ plus update.
Moving the clock was a Google decision, not Samsung's.

I think he meant camera and video button side by side. I still got them on galaxy camera.

The real fail here is the manual video mode removal :silly:
Very stupid decision
This change is a minor annoyance and I'll adjust but it is an annoyance none the less...
I wonder what the thinking was here? Surely no one can consider this an improvement..
This is a freaking useless change and it's totally impractical. Nobody asked for this stupid change and yet, as usual, Samsung decided to implement it...
With android, you just root and change whatever you want. Or use another application suitable.

Yeah but that's not the point. + with Samsung, if you want to use most of the Knox features, root is a no go.
The point is that a software update removes a feature, which is not only useless but also detrimental to the user.
Hey, at least I can find the video mode now because it says the word "video". I had to spend 10 minutes on google to discover how the hell to record video the first time I wanted to do it on my s9+ because there wasn't anything anywhere that looked like it would make video.

.......and therein lies your answer to why things like this happen...
I'm sure a number of people in this boat complained to Samsung the first time around and so they removed this useful feature.
This is why we can't have nice things...LOL!
We live in a planet full of morons. I can't believe that there are people that they need to see the word "video" to understand the place of the function, but can't understand the red dot, the international symbol for video recording. You are so right, we are doomed to never have good things on this planet.

I'd rather hear his complaint than the ones that can't get used to companies changing things. What's the term I'm looking for? Adapt other die? No, that's to harsh and don't wish death. Get used to it? I don't think that's clear enough. Maybe people should just stop recording things, I mean, if someone did that to you you'd tell them to stop. No, you won't be YouTube rich any time soon kids, sorry
why do we have to get used to "changes from companies" that downgrade the abilities of our phones? You must be trolling, there s no other excuse of your unreasoning way of thinking.
Is there any way to install the old camera still having the two buttons ?
Does anybody have a link to download the app please?
I do see the positive other changes, but rather would use the old version to get my two buttons back.
your only practical choice may be installing a third party video camera app from the play store.

This is not an option for me as it would put me in an even worse situation. Samsung's camera uses the camera at its most. Any other app has not that brilliant pics + vids with that device.
So does anybody know how to bring back the Android 8 cam on S9+ having Android 9 installed ?
Thank you in advance.

This was no red dot, not until you first found the obscure and utterly meaningless red-dotless icon that switched from camera to video mode. That's what I spent 10 minutes on google looking for the first time I tried to record video.

Hi guys. Not sure if I'm in the right sub but I'm desperate for help.
I've had a Lenovo smart display 8 and it was working okay before. I did not use it for some time until I moved back to my country lately.
I tried to set it up and it seemed to update to the latest firmware. Voice works but I noticed that the screen isn't responsive. Thinking that something was wrong, I tried to reboot the device but it didn't get any better, so I tried resetting by holding +/- buttons. It went through the setup process again but now at the final step, it won't go any further. It looks like a bug that has disabled the touch screen imo. I've searched and found a lot of people having the same issue with not just lenovo but also nest hub. Do anyone have an idea how we can flash an older firmware to fix this?? (I'm not in the US btw, so I can't send it to service center. And the device isn't distributed in my country so I doubt whether local support could help. I don't want it to become a paperweight) It gets even more frustrating that the device is connected to wifi network and can receive audio cast, even youtube cast but the screen will only show Almost done! Finish setup.
I've tried to collect resources across the internet. There is open-source from lenovo website. File in tar.gz and I don't know how to compile it into an img file for flashing. There is another thread when someone posted a system dump in another thread, but it's not active. I wonder which one to use and further steps to make it work. Can anyone with expertise help me, please??

Smart Display System Dump or APK
Hey, guys - I've been scouring everywhere whether anyone has been able to perform a system dump of a Smart Display device. Since the Home Hub is using Cast as its method of being display I'm almost positive it won't be able to be engineered on...

Hey all, I have been unable to use the front camera in any video chat app (Viber, messenger, duo) since I got the phone a couple months ago.
The front camera turns itself off during the call and you have to manually turn it back on continuously.
If you search the OnePlus Nord 2 forums you will find many references to this issue.
I have also submitted a support ticket and provided all the debugging information that was requested from me, but the problem just remains there without any solution for 5 months (from initial user references)
Does anybody else face the same issue or have any ideas?
No problem here , front facing camera calls (teams, whatsapp, telegram, etc...) works correctly even for long time periods

Hi! Could you share some info regarding model number and build version?
Same thing here on EU vers. A15 , front camera functionality is flawless
I also have the version DN2103_11_A.15 but I am heavily experiencing the issue.
Have you tried for testing a 5 min call with Duo?
More people also report it in the forums:

I am surprised that nobdy here has this front-camera problem, while it is the most frequently reported problems in the OnePlus forums...
After a chat with support, it also seems that they admitted that it is a known hardware issue and device needs repair
I have the same issue. When using messenger camera it's stop working all the time. It's really annoying. Phone it's new. Do You think I can return device at is factory issue ?

Hey, sorry for the late reply but just saw the message.
I eventually had mine returned and motherboard replaced, which solved the issue.
However, I can't tell you whether in recent OS updates it was also resolved somehow from software...
