Hello, everyone! I was wondering if anyone else is having problems sending picture messages? I started having problems on Friday. I've reset the phone, powered it off for 5 minutes and turned off WiFi. The only thing that seems to get them to send is me taking the battery out and reinserting it. I just got this phone 2 weeks ago, and I'm kind of annoyed at this problem. I had the first generation Note before this, and never had any problems like this. Thanks to all who reply!!!
Sorry you're having trouble. No problem here though. I just took a picture, hit share and sent via stock messaging app just fine.

I've found that when using a 3rd party app like Chomp, I have to enter the APN settings manually under the 3rd party app. This first happened to me about a month ago and then recently when I went back to stock to get ready for the updates.

When I disabled the stock app I couldn't share pictures. Had to re enable gallery and then I could send however I wanted.

Hmmmm. I'm wondering if that was my problem. I may have froze the stock app when that was going on. Thanks for the tip.
absolutely. I read on here that disabling stock app/gallery would improve battery life, due to a scanning frequency, but yeah, it made it impossible to SMS pictures.

Oh the pitfalls of freezing apps.
I went into my Turned Off apps and saw I'd turned off AT&T ready2go. I turned it back on and haven't had any problems since. Could that have possibly been it?

Was using hangouts, but when trying to send audio files or videos its a PITA!!!
Then I went to this new "evolve" messaging app.. while it seemed cool, I texted the WRONG person something I shouldn't have.. To say the least I was pissed. Then the stupid will give me error messages when sending pictures.. Guess what.
Why change something thats NOT BROKE! Stock messaging app is actually AWESOME!
ZEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ISSUES!
Unlesss someone can tell me a good reason to switch, I'm staying

I've been on Evolve since it came out (I still had my S4). It would crash constantly and I would never be able to send/receive pics and the Dev is a d!ck. Got my S5 and been on the stock messaging app and haven't looked back! Might try out Hoverchat (previously NinjaSMS).
I'm finding stock to be really sluggish with a lot Of lag. I uSe textra. It's very fast.

How many SMS did you send per minute?

Actually since you mentioned hover chat. I tried it and loved it!!
Then like every single other app, something is missing.. can't send videos..
so it gets a big F
Only had the phone a weekend, so take this with a grain of salt. . .
Started stock obviously, but I got sick of Touchwiz on day 1 so switched to the Google Launcher.
When I did that, Google tries to take everything, (msg app included) so I started using Hangouts.
It is horrible. Really bad. The basic functionality is OK, but it is the other garbage that they stick in the way that annoys so much.
Sure- I could send this message using G+, but why would I, and now you've made me waste time telling you that.
Back to standard app, which seems better than previous Samsung versions. Open to suggestions though

I'm using Go sms pro. Found the stock app to be really laggy especially with large conversations. I think it was trying to load all the convos or something, as go sms only loads a handful at a time. Also has nice themes etc

I'm using Hover Chat since I used my S3. And now, I'm still using it on my S5.
I don't know, but I love the interface and all.

EvolveSMS: it's well designed, fast and has a clean and sharp ui.

I'm using Handcent as I like the level of customisation, the missed text reminder, different missed text tone options, plus able to give different contacts different LED colors, flash rates and vibration patterns. I've been using it for years and haven't come across anything better...
Hello. It's great, it works, it's light and clean. It fires up way faster than the stock app.

Hoverchat because I love the chat heads clone on it.
I used to use hangouts, but not being able to stack pictures into a single MMS (hoverchat doesn't either but whatever) led me to trying others.

Galaxy S does that by defaut (excepted led color + flash rates) since S3 i think (i was using Light Flow for that back then).
Yes, i'm using defaut app, best to keep things simple imo.
I only install google keyboard to get better recognition while swyping.
I wonder how some people could crash it as i had some history of several years of messages imported and never seen any messaging app crash on any of my Galaxy S.
Love my new galaxy camera 2 but I have a strange issue the camera keeps signing out of Google so I lose all my contacts and calendar plus have to sign back in to use the play store
It has done this twice now anyone else having this issue and if so how do I stop the camera from doing it ?
Thanks

Hi
Same thing here. Happens 4 times so far. And any time it happens, it starts to reinstall a lot of apps of other devices I don't need in the camera. Really annoying. Hope Samsung will fix the bug asap.

Mine loses my Google account every 1-3 days. Once it stayed for a week!
Annoying that I have to keep going into the Settings/Accounts and re-add it. It is the only account that gets 'lost'. I have Dropbox and Samsung account on the camera since day one and they are still there.
Oddly enough, I have not heard any other discussions of this other than here; that I am glad I found.
It's weird how settings all of a sudden get removed ?

Exactly.
I did manage to find several other folks on Android Central.com forums that report the very same issue.
No answers though.
Ended up buying another galaxy 2 amazon is a German version (they did refund me £68 when I complained) and I can confirm the German one does the same this is DBT VERSION not BTU so it is definitely a firmware issue

Might have solved the issue it seems that Facebook is causing the issue - I've removed Facebook app and haven't had one single issue with Google logging out .. can anyone experiencing the issue confirm that this is a sort of a fix until Samsung issue a patch

It keeps forgetting my google account even without Facebook app... In fact when I first got it I entered the data, it all worked; went on vacation, when I got there, I had to enter it again. 8 consecutive times. Then it remembered. Until today... Contacted Samsung support, let's see what they say.

I'm in the same position. Even without FB I keep losing my Google data. Please feed back on what Samsung support say!
I never have had FB app installed yet have this issue.
Via a tech chat session, a Samsung support tech told me to force stop and clear data/cache on the Google Account Manager app. Seemed like a reasonable solution, but it didn't work/last overnight. What was interesting is that there was literally no delay in the chat when I posted the problem and the tech offered that solution. Clearly, they are aware of the issue. Now they just need to solve it.
I think I've discovered a work-around solution -- I turned off the Fast power-on feature (Settings/More/Power/Fast Power-on). I haven't haven't had the Google account disappear nor the wallpaper (which usually happens at the same time) in almost 48 hours. Of course, the caveat to that is that is that it can take longer to startup your camera after it's been idle for a while, but you can resolve that issue by increasing the auto power off from the default 1 hour to something more when you're going to be using the camera more frequently.
Same issue here, i am reflashing the rom and i will check off the fast power on if fix it.
Well, it's been about two weeks since I disabled the fast power-on feature and I've lost my Google settings only once during that time, so it appears to help.
Hey guys, I got my n6 yesterday and besides a few curious apps not working things have been mostly great.
One thing that is bugging the hell out of me is the power control widget is missing. Anyone know where I can get it to side load? Why would google remove this? Just makes no sense to me.

Google may not have removed it, it may simply not be compatible with the N6 or Lollipop yet. Have you tried Widgetsoid? I'm using it on my stock 5.0 Nexus 5 while I wait for my N6 to ship, and it works just fine. [emoji1]
*Or are you talking about the native power control widget? It's native on the Nexus 5 factory image, so I'm not sure why it wouldn't be on the N6. If it's really not there, I can adb pull the apk for you, and post it so you can try to side load it to /system/apps (pretty sure that's where it goes).
Edit: Nope... I can't find it in any of the /system file paths... I guess you could just try to side load and see what happens, but Google may have cooked it into the SystemUI or something.
Yeah I wanted the native power control widget that's been on my phone for as long as I can remember ?

Im having the same problem, the strange thing is that my old n5 and n7 both have the power control widget and theyre all running android 5.0
I noticed it missing too. Its something I use a lot especially on stock ROM.
You can use the app power toggles from the play store. It's the same as the power toggles you'd normally see but more tweakable

Yeah its just not present anymore. The widget was missing on my oneplus one L cm12 rom as well. Odd how they removed it when it's been there for awhile.
At least we have alternatives, woo for Android.

Anyone else experiencing issues with the feature since the last two updates? CSGA and CSGB is when mine started to basically not work at all. Just wondering is any other XDA folks are experiencing this issue and if you found a workaround
My messaging is still working fine, but my phone app seems temperamental now. When I make my call, I have to turn off my screen, count to 5, and then turn it back on to have in-call control. I also use Google Voice, but that hasn't seemed to have any impact.
