Hello, I am running CleanRom 5.6 on my verizon galaxy sIII and everything is working great. However I have one problem. The stock message app works great but it does not allow for group test message to show up on one message i.e. you get individual message instead of getting one single message. I solved this by installing go sms pro or handcent. NOw the problem that I am having is that when people send me a .gif image file I can see the picture but it is not moving. I have tried opening under the stock text app, go sms pro, and handcent but no one them work. At have had it working a few time but the majority of times it does not work i.e. the image does not move. I have searched online a lot but there is no one consensus on how to fix this problem. I hope someone know what I am talking about and can help me because I am not the only one who is having the problem. Thank you.
p.s. I do not know whether the problem is being caused by an iphone user sending the .gif file or whether that does not matter.

Im not 100% sure here but pretty sure the Android OS doesnt fully support .gif anymore at least? seems like alot of people cant only get the first frame of a gif to run on their phones now.
So I have been searching for hours trying to find a app that basically does the following.
When I receive a text message I would like for my phone to speak "you have a new text message from ...contact name... Would you like to hear the message?"
Then I could say yes or no depending on the location and the contact the message was from. Then be able to respond or not.
I have seen many apps that can read texts and respond with no problem but sadly none ask before reading the entire message.
Surely I can't be the only one that would like this functionality on their nexus 5.

I'm surprised that AVX and utter! don't have that functionality.
Thanks actually AVX can do it it's just not very easy to figure out the settings to set it up. Still sounds very crude and old school but it works.
Dear Friends , I just bought my Huawei Ascend Mate 7 MTL 10 32 GB, now with me for one week, I think it is a great device really, i call him the Father of my all mobiles before!. anyhow, I have two problems annoying me , The first one is that e mails reaches the inbox without notifying me once they arrived neither by sound, nor by icon in the notification bar. I have tried every possible setting that you can imagine. more i have searched online, but it seems that it is my only problem(or no one reported it yet)
The notification with sound and in the notification bar only happens when i open the e mail app. it happens mostly with the built in apps (that i setup for my Hotmail and Yahoo) otherwise the gmail app is doing fine.
My second problem is that My Volvo S60 Infotainment system is not fully compatible with the Bluetooth of my new HM7 , as i was able to use Kakao and Viber with my car speakers before with my Samsung Galaxy S5 but now I cannot with HM7.
I really appreciate anyone response about that.
Thanks
you are not a lone
Dear Friend,
don't worry , i have the same issue and still not finding any solution , it is a global issue not only for you and me.
i will try to send an email to huawei to check and send us new update with resolution.

Same problem also for P7 modell of my collegue...seems to be a EMUI problem with certain (customer) applications (Whatsapp also...).
For email I managed it by using GMAIL and application called UNREAD BADGES FOR GMAIL, in other words a widget designed for GMAIL app and available in the GOOGLE STORE (free) and it works. You have to set up well the energy consumption settings and the notification settings, and then it should work.
Well, thank you all for your support and comments, as a matter of fact, few days after i posted my problem here , i spent almost half a day searching for a solution in this forum and over the internet and my conclusion is , Do not waste your time find a solution because there is non, some people having notification with e mail only like myself, others has it with Whatsapp( more annoying) , i read a full thread here in this forum about every possible solution for the problem, from settings of notifications , power saving , Network settings for data and Always on Wifi. Actually reading that thread was extremely interesting, some people are trying to help the one who started the thread (Mr)(Microdog), others sarcastic and Microdog desperately wants to solve the problem as he likes the phone so much (just like myself) and then at the end guess what? the guy decided to sell the phone! and others persuading him to wait, it was so so funny. i loved it. although , i did not find the solution for my problem but i realized that we human beings have remarkable built in desire to help each other no matter anything( I am not religious by the way) , any how , i decided to live with the condition till the new update will come by end of January or February 2015 may be it will solve the problem, because trust me this is one of the best phones that i have ever had!

NB: I think in one of the posts , there is someone is doing some app to fix the problem, i tried it and it is not working , and unfortunately it delayed all the e mail notifications more , so i had to uninstall it and did hard rest, so please take care.

Well, that is a disappointment, I was expecting this guys in Huawei will fix that issue with the new update. I think maybe the problem is in their EMUI . We have to raise this problem to Huawei again.
Same problem here !
I had to use 3rd party app "myMail" and it's working great !
100 % than stock email app !

It is the stock email app, although i do experience times where i miss sound notifications, when i have switched between vibration and silent modes. I can't seem to figure out the trigger.
As for email, I use Aquamail, but have also used , cloudmagic, k9, blue mail and boxer, all notifications worked (i tested a bunch to see which had best push times and battery usage).
The notifications worked on all third party email apps for me, so i think it may be an inherent problem with the stock app, but could also be a system wide issue as i do get sound drop outs for some apps randomly as I mentioned before. I have checked all the notification, power settings, screen off etc.. so i think it may be a system bug, corrects on reboot. Hopefully next update fixes it.

i sent many emails to Huawei support team but i didn't receive any feedback from them since 10 days

Go to settings > protected apps and protect them. Otherwise they may be unprotected and closed when you close the applications. In order to receive the notifications, the application must be running in the background to work. It consume more battery but there is no other way.

But I still have the problem with Whatsapp always closing down when I get a message. Have you tried this app on the device does it work for you ?
I have spoken with Whatsapp and they can't help.

Hi there
I don't have a fix but I was able to get rid of the malware by installing a app that deletes vendor apps. Do a scan with avg and it will tell you what apps are malware.
But for the issue with the what's app it's still not working for me.
Where did you buy from ?
I got mine from chinavasion and the are stalling on giving my money back.
Thanks
phicomm ex780L full tutorial
Two Phicomm ex780L arrived last week to a colleague, and after being out all weekend battling malware coming default (easy thing to remove), we have sought English, Spanish and Russian forums, but nobody had the whatsapp solution... but we have after being struggling with error adding contacts to google account and error whatsapp, we finally have found solutions.
The error of the contacts was somewhat easier to solve, also yesterday, the user "stas30" published a rom which already solved that error, but WhatsApp has given us more war .. but finally is solved!
We have written a tutorial in Spanish and English on our web forum, which you can see at:
androidparatorpes [dot] com/foro/dispositivos/42-buenos-y-potentes-moviles-por-menos-de-150#130
We hope you look easy steps to take, enjoy it as much or more as we look for a solution and at the end you may enjoy 100% of this device as we are doing now!
hello, excuse my English, I'm Italian.
I installed your good rom and followed your guide to getting whatsapp but unfortunately does not work. I created the "DO NOT OPEN" group and a friend of mine sent the message in the group but I have not read the message, then he sent me a message out of the group and whtasapp crashed! I tried several times but nothing. How can I do? it is possible that an application so used is not supported by the phone?

Hey there, I was just about to buy this phone from chinavasion, I've returned 2 phones to them so far and they do take a while to sort it out but they've refunded me each time thankfully! Can you explain to me about the malware issue as this is the first I've heard about it in all the reviews and that as in what kind of malware and are they system apps which need to be deleted after being rooted? I hope you dont mind me asking too but howcome you are getting a refund on the phone, did it break or something? Im just trying to weigh up my options before i invest in a relatively expensive bit of tech. I'd really appreciate a quick response as I need to get a phone off chinavasion soon (I have credit on their site because of the last refund),
Thank you

Used to flash custom firmware with gapps from stas.
Ok, so recently I've scanned the phone with CM Security, and there were 2 malware threats found.
Used whatsapp workaround from above post. Works, but trying to call crashes the app. Trying to use autocorrect text also crashes the app. Important! Do not setup band to LTE only, otherwise you will not be able to call! 4G is only internet. You still need 3G to make calls!
another phone to avoid.
Excuse me, I would like to know whether this official firmware is multilanguage which includes Vietnamese or not. And would you showing me how to flash it? If By using stock recovery, then do I need to rename it to update.zip or something?!
Thank you
Android 5.0
Hi, Any news about android 5.0 or 6 for this phone? Can somebody transform a rom from another device and probe it in this device? Mi device has the same problems (whatsapp and malwares) but i Install the rom from Stas30 and it works nice. i solve the problem of whatsapp with the unread message. But it still turned off whenever it wanted. I had a oneplus one before that has almost the same characteristics and same processor and it happened too. I think that it is a problem of the processor that gets heated.
But please I think that a newer version of android will work very good with this phone and could solve a lot of bugs
try porting yourself,
No one can port another rom for this phone?
Fix whatsapp problem
FIX WHATSAPP PROBLEM
- What steps should I take?
The problem of forced close for whatsapp appears when we receive a new message, appearing to number of unread messages in the contact that sent us the message, if we are quick enough, once entered whatsapp and in that conversation, it clears the unread message icon and whatsapp works again, but when we receive another message, whatsapp fails again, so we have found this solution:
1. Create a group called "DO NOT OPEN" and invite a friend or family inside.
2. As group picture, we can put the sign "NO ENTRY"
3. We go back, where whatsapp show us active chats.
4. We asked our friend / family to send us a message to the group saying: Do not open or delete this group
5. Now, whatsapp we will give us a "force close".
6. We asked our friend / family to send us a private message to our whatsapp (but not in the group)
7. Open whatsapp, it will fail, but when you close the error no longer give us more "force close" and finally Notifications will work again, because we will always have an unread message (inside the group called "DO NOT OPEN"), and with these simple steps we will be able to use whatsapp without errors.

I'm a Typeapp user for my mailaccounts. Since the latest upgrade to Android 13 it does not always show a notification. Randomly.
Typeapp suggested to alter the Battery Manager to allow the app running in the background. Did not help.
Then I tried a few other email apps for a week or so, but the same issue occured: not always a notification in time.
My idea is that this issue does not belong to the mailapp, but possibly Android 13 does something in the background that prevents a notification. Sometimes (and that's the irritating part!).

This sounds somewhat familiar to me already since Android 11 where several people had the same issue regarding SMS/text messages arriving in time in Android (according to the logcat) but the notification message was often triggered few minutes or much later.
For a workaround for the SMS/text messages notification delay problem, effective at least for the default SMS/text/messaging app com.android.messaging, see the following GitLab issue (for klte) which even lead to one of the LineageOS developers reporting the bug to Google with the corresponding issue still being unresolved/open.
[Update 23.10.2022 for the sake of completeness]:
Other users reported the same problem for different phones No SMS while screen off and Notifications for incoming messages are delayed after device has been sleeping for a long time
It seems to me that this is a typical SMS-issue. I think my issue is a more general thing and I will try a hard reset and start with a clean Android 13 setup.
I'll give feedback afterwards... (when time and availability let me fix it)
Mauvan said:

The reception of the SMS was/is not the problem in this case since it appears immediately after sending in the log but the notification triggers with a large delay/late.
Therefore I can imagine, that this is a general notification bug which also appears in other apps.
Simply trying out the command takes a few seconds and observing the behavior also only takes very little time.
Personally I would invest this little time before doing a hard rest ... but perhaps I am the only one who enjoys doing other things in his spare time much more rather than hard resetting his phone and going through the following tedious installation and setup of all apps from scratch.
I know, it is no fun doing those things like install and setup your phone
But what if I really cannot find the com.android.messaging app amongst all system apps? Or does it have a different name since A13??

I wrote my sentence in a "teasing" way but with the winking smiley because you seemed very determined reinstalling everything from scratch without trying the suggested workaround.
And since different people have different interests, there was still a small chance that you prefer having a clean Android installation anyway from time to time and simply want to make sure that the problem arose from a "dirty" upgrade from A12 to A13.
Anyway, I am now confused by your following statement:

The way I understood you is, that your issue did (at the moment) only affect email apps.
1.
Did you also observe the notification delay with the stock SMS/text messaging app?
2.
If not, what is the reason why you now want to identify the stock SMS/text messaging app?
Mauvan said:

Click to expand...

This I don't know.
3.
If 1. == yes, is the app name displayed in the app info options menu (the place of the other settings like permissions, storage & cache, etc.) when you scroll all the way to the bottom (as it is the case in A12)?
4.
If 3. == no, then you can possibly identify it using the output of
Code:
adb shell pm list packages
or paste the result here so we can have a guess.

Well, if it only occurs in the mail apps, then let's stick with those.
So, instead of whitelisting the SMS/text app, I suggest to try the battery optimization whitelisting procedure with those.
As a first step, please execute the current content of the battery optimization whitelist by calling
Code:
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle whitelist
and paste the result (list of apps) in this thread.
This should help us in better understanding whether the whitelisting step via ADB (which was either already done by you via the Android UI, or if not, which we'll do once we have the result from the above call) actually changes the whitelist content.

By "which was either already done by you via the Android UI" I am referring to the thing you have done as stated in your statement quoted above. Since the information how you did it is quite vague, I need the requested info.

Since we are now ignoring the SMS/text ab, you can forget about the adb shell pm list packages command but need to execute the other (ADB) command mentioned above.
There are many tutorials on how to use ADB - I am only (randomly) posting the official instructions:
https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb
So you mainly need 2 things:
PC: ADB executable - downloadable from https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
Android: Settings > System > Developer Options > USB debugging
There's not even an option in Settings > System for USB debugging and Developer Options in my Pixel.
In another life I was a programmer but this goes beyond my capabilities (and patience to figure it out).
I give up.
Thanks for all your efforts, but it's all abacadabra for me. A hard reset is almost faster
