Ever my 2.2 upgrade, pictures are showing as short videos. When I click on them they show as picture. Kind of a pain because there is always this big play arrow. What bugs me is I saw this somewhere but never saw an answer and now I can't find it back. Any answers to this one yet?

my phone has done this since i got it in august 2010
I posted this recently in the Firefly Q&A thread. I was sure too that this only showed up after upgrading - either a Firefly issue or a 2.2 issue. I didn't remember it happening when I was on stock 2.1. But others assured me that it's just the way Android does it - even on 2.1. Some even said regular dumbphones will show MMS pictures as little videos.

Hello everyone, new on this forum. wanted to say hello.
I own an LG O2X and suffer from almost all of the problems the rest of you mentioned.
I've been following the threads for some time now. Hope LG fixes this phone soon because as for now everyone I show the new phone to doesn't understand "what's so good about it?" LOL
i'm a happy one
have had O2X for a week now, and am pretty happy with it. but it is my first android, and i'm running MCR/Fear edition.
the only thing that i am missing is wi-fi calling (uma), which is only stock-installed in G2X.

Why can't you use skype instead? Or is it not the same?
Ive had mine for about a month now and cant fault it in anyway, compaired it against my old desire and friends iphones and it's on top without a doubt.
Gingerbread will be rolling out in the next couple of weeks i would of thought which will make it even better ;-)
I have it since yesterday and no problems so far, its lightning fast but I like the looks of my arc more. Still in doubt which one will be my daily phone, I like them both.

I didn't look into Skype, because my wife (with regular cell phone) can't reach me on Skype (free account), unless they provide free incoming call number.
I prefer (1) UMA/GAN, (2) Google voice/Talkatone-like app on android, and (3) other SIP, but that's just me. Beside, I think any T-Mobile user should be able to use UMA/GAN via app.
I have a feeling that eventually telephone/cell-phone will migrate to IP based protocol, and service providers will become merely data provider. The question is when and if they will be willing to. I'm sure there will be issues and reluctance. I read somewhere and Verizon is looking into voice over IP (or a name similar to that), to enable "talk and surf at the same time" like GSM can. Now I'm babbling.... Anyhow, CM7 might have already included UMA/GAN. I just need to test it when I have a chance.

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me with a strange issue. S-voice does not work for me on the GG using a recently updated (4.3 stock rom) Note 2. What I mean is that every time I try to use S-voice a highly distorted voice says "I didn't catch that", regardless of what I say. I tested the device on my gf's Note 3 and it works fine. As such, there are no issues with the GG device, per se. So, I continued to troubleshoot and figured it was my Note 2 S-voice that is the problem. I was thinking that since I installed the G4 s-voice, which worked fine on my Note 2, this might be the cause. I uninstalled S-voice on my phone and tried to run S-voice on the GG. The watch gave me a message stating I needed to install S-voice on my phone. When I looked at my phone it took me to the Samsung app store with the S-voice app ready to download. I installed the app from the app store on my phone and tried again. Same problem. I don't know how to fix this. So, I was wondering if anyone else is having a similar issue. Here is my info.
sgh317m (Canada)
Stock rom 4.3
rooted phone
official s-voice
If I forgot any pertinent details, please let me know.
Thank you everyone in advance.
Omg, same issue here, i317m on Rogers, stock rooted note 2, 4.3 and for the life of me s - voice doesn't work! Same exact issue! I thought I forgot how to s - voice lol!!

I'd be curious to know if you also loaded the S4 s-voice or have you always been using the default version? I noticed Samsung updated the app for the Note 2 in the app store, but I'm not sure if my upgrading unofficially may have cause any issues such, as no longer being a system file? I'm not sure. Such knowledge is beyond me.
Hopefully, a wise soul will enlighten us.
No s4 s - voice... Just stock note 2 s - voice. So, really, it should work as is. Apart from a complete Odin and reroot, I dunno.

Fair to assume you never had an issues with s-voice? I seem to recall when I first put s-voice on my SGS II I had a similar experience to current predicament, but I'm not sure what resolved it.
I've never had an issue at all with s - voice.

Hey guys... found this thread on Google. This was the only note 2 s voice issue with GG that I've found so it's reassuring (unforunately) that this is a common issue...
I have a stock note 2. No mods or anything... s voice does not work at all on galaxy gear. Works 100% brilliantly on the note 2... it's a garbled mess of "I didnt catch that" on the Gear. I've tried everything and I have no accent (just a normal Canadian, eh ; ) lol. ... but of the million commands I gave that are in the "?" Icon as legit 'things to say' it did not once do anything but say "I didnt catch that"....
...I hope Samsung is aware of this and fixes it... lol... I returned a watch and said it was defective already hahaha.

Hi I am using a Bell Note 2 with the GG and have no problems with s-voice but I am using the Skynote RC9z 4.3 custom Rom. I am interested to know is anyone on the stock bell having the issue? If so I could flash back to stock and see what happens. Also anyone on stock having issues with the GG weather app? mine keeps telling me to set the city on the device widget but it is set. Funny thing though when I ask svoice on the watch what the weather is like it has no problem telling me.

Mine is unlocked from Rogers and am using it on Koodo. Of course I installed the Rogers rom. My weather app works fine unless I use s voice.
I've been playing with the language settings (switching between Samsung and Google) and I got s voice to work 4 whole times but not successively. Maybe someone else could mess about as well?
I'm on bell. Stock note 2. S voice isn't working.
Im Glad that this is happening to a few people, as i was thinking my watch was defective -
I ended up calling SAMSUNG about this and they had no clue of course, so i explained 'our' issue and they have opened a case -
If all you guys feel like calling in to complain about this PLEASE DO !!
The more complaints they have the faster they will action this.
Here is the case number that was opened for me for your information - CASE # 2123030231

Defiantly going to make that call - I tested out my Galaxy Gear with my Wife's S4, worked no problem, so...it sounds more like a Note 2 issues.
Okayyyy... i talked to samsung Canada support... they said that they're aware of an issue with the 4.3 update. I had already mentioned that i returned a watch already. He made it clear "there's nothing wrong with your hardware... it was an error in the update" ... He said to wait a few days and call back, they'll likely have a solution or at least more information on a coming solution.

Edit: I mean anyone else besides the two who've already stated. I tried but the rep told me there aren't any issues and so he's not sure why I'm having trouble. Seems like each call gets a different reply. Was hoping others could chime in.
Just to be clear, I called the number below and ended up talking with some guy in the Caribbean.
Call Product & Customer Support
1-800-726-7864
8:30am – 12:00am midnight (EST)
Customer support is available 7 days a week, 365 days of the year.
He looked around and couldn't find anything pertaining to my complaint.
If you guys call and they have no idea, try referring them to the CASE # 2123030231 and see what they say -
I'm planning on calling back next week even though the rep told me not to expect anything to happen for at least a month or so.

Here's a fun fact. I called Samsung Canada today and the rep said he can't find that case number. He went on to say that there are no known issues with using the GG and note 2. Really brightened my day.
Any one else have any luck?

Ok I have now flashed a Rogers and a Bell stock on my note 2 both have the same issue s-voice sounds like its underwater and says it cant understand me but if I flash the SkyNote 9z custom ROM based off the AT&T 4.3 update the watch s-voice works just fine. I tried decompiling some of the relevant APKs and JARs and it seems that there are differences in the implementation of the Bluetooth.apk but flat swapping that file crashes BT services and I am not skilled enough to figure out how to correct the issue via programming.
I am headed back to SkyNote at least till they fix this.

I might be wrong but do you think this has something to do with 4.3 rom using LE BT whereas 4.1 had BT?
I was just curious what might happen if we installed the BT apk from 4.1. Would s voice work? Or am I way off?
Is there a way to go back after the fact?
and for a follow up question. I had about 6 copies of an old phone, how can i delete them.(or where are they stored?)
People know what i am talking about right?
During the initial setup right after the NFC tap and go.
My two questions are still, Can i do this after setup, and how do i delete that data?

The copies are stored on Google servers. They don't have a way to delete them as of yet.
If you'd like to try to restore again you must factory reset and it will get you back to that phone restore again.

Also my new nexus 6 is not putting data there even though i say its ok. I just have all the test roms i did with my LG G3 and lollipop. How can i make sure my phone is uploading the data?
This seems like such a great feature to even share app data between like a tablet and your phone. I hope they expand this really bad.

That's funny actually because you can't remove your devices. It sucks when you look through your list but hopefully they will let you delete old ones soon.

Its annoying because if you flash a different ROM on a device, that device now shows up twice in the Play Store settings (https://play.google.com/settings)
I have numerous Nexus 4/5/7/6/9 entries. I was once told that after two years of inactivity, the device drops off, but I have an old Acer tablet with a last used date of July 23, 2012 still sitting on my list.

Agreed. I see what you did there.
If it turns out to be true and even if they they just push it to those who oped in for soak test and whatnot and not a full out release in the next few weeks i am happy with Lenovo and this phone. I love what Lenovo did with the phone. I said updates will make or break it and i was scared about that when they said they could not commit to the security patches. But were getting those patches and have a word on the update so far so good. Hope they keep it up. This is the best phone out all around.
I'll still believe it when I see it. Moto has really been sucking badly on updates the last few years.

I agree 100% the funny part is I decided I needed a non samsung device as soon as I saw that lil wayne commercial that had him dumping champagne on the phone. I told coworkers that wanted the Note 7 prior to the release to get this phone instead because Samsung spent far too much for lil wayne for proper research and development, they all made fun of me...until the note started exploding.

Off topic but the issue is simple with the Note 7. I checked this my self. But its not cheap for them and the "Fixed" ones were not fixed and there was no way for them to fix it.
Simple version. The IC samsung chosen to handle the monitoring of the voltage for the battery was the cheapest they could find. That being said they can be way off in terms of calibration. The note 7 i had charged my battery to 4.9v. Phone would read 4.405v but a fluke on the batt reads 4.921v. And that is dangerous. So for all i know they could be charging to 5+ volts and no wounder they are bursting into flames. Issue has nothing to do with the battery and changing it wont do a thing. Its an issue with the ic on the board. And the IC has been used in other things that handle li-ion and li-po related charging and also caused problems on them.
Back on topic.
So we get 7.0 before the end of the year. Im guessing November. So far so good on the updates. But im wondering if they are going 7.0 or just going to jump to 7.1. Chances are no 7.1 that fast but so far the updates have been good. And the moto mod updates have been amazing. I would like to see 7.0 by Nov. 17th. But we prob wont see the roll out start until the end of Nov.

Not that I'm aware of. I've done plenty of soak tests for previous Moto devices and I got invites for soak tests for the camera and projector (which I don't have either), but I never got one for the phone. The update just popped up for me last night.
So far the only Nougat issues I'm having is the fact that my Ambient Moto Display no longer works. Slightly annoying, but it could be worse.

Great that means it's a general release!
Do a hard reset, it's always recommended to do a hard reset after a major update for optimal performance and user experience.
Strike my last statement. I just got it working. I need up just clearing the data for the Moto app and set it up again. Moto Display seems to work perfectly fine now.
