A friend of mine sent me a video via text message but it opens up as a slideshow. There's no sound and the image doesn't change, it's just a picture. I've tried opening it in several different messaging apps with the same result. Any suggestions on how to view it as a video?
is it specifically that clip? try viewing another video clip and if it somehow plays as a slideshow, cant help you.
you could be recieving poor fps maybe.

I haven't received any other videos via text message to try out. But I can play videos from my gallery that I've personally recorded.
Morning agtonil
I have the same problem, and sometimes it doesn't even show up as a slideshow. I'm on CM10.1 and what I do is holding down the video or the message it came in so that I get a prompt to download it, and it then shows up in Gallery. You could try that, perhaps?
It's obviously not the best way to view videos, but at least it's a way.

When I download to gallery it still doesn't come up as a video, it's still in slideshow format so it's just a still photo.
My pic texts show up as a clip too. I've just gotten used to it. But it's a pain at times because it takes what seems like forever.

No he sent a video but when I go to try to view the video it tells me to "view slideshow". And when I open it like that, it's just a picture. I want to view the actual streaming video.
I understand. There's something off about mms and sms messages. Not sure if it's the aosp or the custom roms.

Do you think if I tried to open it on my computer by using Airdroid that it would play as a video?
Not really sure, no reason not to try. I don't have a solution either. Maybe someone out there will.

Well I think I solved it in case anyone else is looking for this answer. I downloaded GoSMS and went into the MMS settings and increased the maximum MMS size and then had my friend resend the video. It now plays as a video, not slideshow.

Hello Infuse Community!
Since day one on the Infuse it has been an exellent jump over my iPod Touch, the only thing that I find lacking is the video player! I am sure that you have all ran into streaming a video and having to answer a text! I'm wondering if anyone else has found a player that will allow you to jump back into where you have left off, instead of having to scroll back through the video and remember your place... yada yada yada. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think that's an android flash limitation.. are these streaming vids on an html5 site? or a flash site? maybe the browser is part of the problem as well.

Ahh! Good point... Real nice call at the flash. Flashed works wonders! (well.. In one sense anyway) It resumes right on key. Stock browser nothing special. It's the HTML 5 that opens up in the separate program. Can't list the site here...
Thanks for the speedy reply man.. Appreciate it dude.

I don't k.ow why some apps don't show in recent apps if another app calls them up. try an app switcher app. or use go launcher and Check the recent and running tabs in the drawer.

Vital Player will rember where you left off on a vid so you can start right back up from that spot. (It can rember multiple vids)
DoggCatcher if for podcast will also do the same for the podcast. (It can rember multiple vids)

For some reason, my camera does not save pictures! it just takes the picture and it is not saved in the gallery.
Also, my wifi calling mysteriously stopped working.
I am running the latest phoenix rom..
I have tried the fix permissions thing, and that didn't work either. Any recommendations besides ref lashing?
PS The phone still allows me to send picture messages, just not take any and save them
Any ideas..?

Try a different camera app

Most likely, it is just sending your pics to a different location.
Check the settings.
Hmm what kind of camera app? I tried both setting it to save to internal and external but it does not work

Get your cell phone flashed, if any software issue, it would be resolved... cheers!!!
Maybe you have a setting that makes it so you explicitly tell it you want it saved. I know some camera apps have that setting. If it doesn't show up in gallery try plugging in your phone to a computer to look for some jpg files or use an android file explorer.
Hey everyone,
I was wondering if you all could help me out. I have installed the 7/22 build of jellybean and I send quite a bit of text messages. The problem is, I send a lot at one time and in JB, it stops me after I've send about 4 messages within a minute or two to the same person, asking me to allow this to happen. If I don't say allow, the text message will not send. By text message, I do mean sms to be specific. I searched through settings and found nothing to stop this message from popping up. I love the stock messaging app and I don't want to have to give it up unless there is no way around this. Does this happen to you and if so does anyone know a way around it? Thanks
hey i am running the 7-22 and gapps 7-19
i just sent 5-6 texts to my fb status update system and they all went through with no errors and they were sms messages
also i am having no problems receiving mms

I'm currently trying to recreate the issue. It's happened several times with normal text messaging to my girlfriend. It basically tells me that I've sent a lot of sms messages in a short period of time. A prompt comes up telling me that after I hit send. In order for the message to send I have to say "allow" in the prompt. The other option is, of course, "deny". This is an android OS prompt, not a superuser prompt. I can't seem to recreate it at the moment with google voice as my contact, but I'm sure it will happen again tomorrow when I'm texting my girlfriend and I will screen capture it, unless anyone knows what this is and how to disable it of course.
Is this the SMS to mms conversion count?

After some very specific searching, I found one topic in the GNex forums about the issue. It seems to be security for SMS bombing apps. Kind of a bummer for me. I hope this is disabled in the future or toggled somewhere. http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1742226.html

Oh, weird, I've never gotten that or even heard that function existed. I bet someone could pretty easily hack the messaging app to remove that limitation. It seems like a valid security feature though to prevent any app from mass texting. Maybe you should just write longer messages, haha.

Yeah, I am having the same problem on my HTC Inspire 4G running unofficial CM10 called JellyTime by randomblame ported to my phone. The easiest way to avoid this would be to get a second texting app and bounce back and fourth between the 2 apps. I was running Go SMS Pro and got the same prompt. So that's the best way I can think of to avoid the prompt for the time being.
Ever get one of those "You just won a $1,000 shopping spree at Best Buy" messages?
That's what this is supposed to prevent from happening to you, so your phone doesn't text random people who aren't even in your contact list.
I would say... put up with it. Eventually the mass SMS spammers will get the hint and they'll stop, at which point someone at Google will lift the limit, unless an app dev fixes the apk itself, at which point you'll have to manually monitor outgoing messages.
Edit: I wonder if someone has tried taking the messaging apk from gapps 4/29 and put it in the gapps 7/26 package? Would be a sensible attempt at avoiding the security block, but not sure if it would negate the security feature itself...
Actually, there is an app for rooted users that I found while using the search feature, called BAMF SMS fix. Check it out. Unfortunately I no longer have the link to the file, but I still have the file itself. PM me if you need the file. It is a flashable .zip

Did you restore any data or have any data from GB carried over to ICS? That could be it or corrupt data on the /sdcard itself. Try QuickPic from Google Play Store, works great as a work around...

Are you on the first leak? This is a known bug with the first leak... the android media server doesn't detect the sdcard half the time after being remounted, such as when you connect you phone to your computer.
I believe the second leak takes care of this...
Apex, I restored titanium backups, but only restored texts, call log, contacts and wifi points under system. Didn't touch gallery or anything.
And farshad, it recognizes the sd card just fine, it just doesn't show me the pictures in the gallery app. I can open any file browser and navigate to it just fine.

Hello,
Me and my gf used to chat a lot using whatsapp (she has an iphone)..i finally persuaded her to change to android but she wants the threads as she has them on her phone..i have tried everything and since you cant restore within different platforms the only good way i thought is if we did a "replay" of what we have sent by looking from the chat history from email..bit extreme but no other way..
The only problem is that the app doesnt let us use the time we wish (from system) because maybe it uses time from the web! Or maybe we can alter the time afterwards ..Any ideas??
Thnx

Not sure if there is any easier way but Whatsapp Xtract could be the answer since it support WA message extraction, you can get it here.
If you know some programming skill you can just play with the sqlite database, another way would be write some script to mass change the time on the chat history/email.
Good luck!
By the way, you probably want to change your title to include [Q] so that people know you are asking a question.
Thnx i will look it up! i was also thinkng about whatsapp on Bluestacks but then again the mod in time is still an issue

Have you tried Whatsapp Xtract? Well if you are talking about changing the date on email then a simple php script would do by mass converting the date.
But what can i see from the message history sent to email is that they have 'year' info skipped, so not sure what happen to messages sent/rcvd before current year, does it have year info? well, only if you have one sent/rcvd before 2012.
If only about changing the date on email maybe i can help, just give me some picture on how it looks like now and how it supposed to be.

Yes I have looked into this program..it all started from me wanting to export whatsapp chat into android from iphone! Then when I saw I cant do that I thought I could send my chat from scratch and change the date..but then again the app doesnt let you operate if you use incorrect time.BUT one thing I never thought is one simple and better solution: Why dont I avoid this app and its limitations and import my chat conversation from email to SMS with sms to text!! :thumbup:I will combine my sms and my whatsapp into one thread and job done! GOOD THING ANDROID SMS IS SO VERSATILE! .txt .csv. xls you name it. So happy right now thanx for your feedback anyway
