[Q] Receiving pictures via NFC, not possible? - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. My gf took an Xperia Z1(stock 4.2.2) and she can't receive pictures via NFC. She can send without a problem but she can not receive. Every time i try to send her a picture from my Galaxy S4 she is asked if she would like to open the program with Google Play store, and accepting this leads to a Play store search for "directsharemanager" which is listed as unavailable. Doesn't the Z1 support file receiving? I tried also to send her a youtube link and it worked, but pictures not. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you!

I ran into the same issue with my boss trying to send me a picture with his S3 to my Nexus 4. The problem was that he had "S Beam" enabled which only works with other compatible Samsung phones. Ticked it off in the settings and worked like a charm. Check if you have it enabled and try it out.

Facebook Messenger Sms/Mms enable missing?

Just got my HTC one, non rooted, stock firmware.
When i downloaded facebook messenger and tried to enable it to hijack sms/mms by going to the options screen, the option to enable it is missing. Funny that it works on my xperia z but not htc one.
Anyone with the same issues? Or did i get a weird set?

anyone?
I happened to find the same thing on one of my phone.
The option is here on my Galaxy Note but not on my Acer Gallant. What's weird is that I have not seen a lot a people talking about this.
SMS settings disappeared after I upgraded from Android 4.0.4 to 4.1.2. Hope they fix it soon. Reported it. If anyone knows how to fix, please tell us. Thanks.
I also have this issue and have been searching for a fix with no result. It is a direct result of an upgrade to a 4.1+ base from 4.0.x. I have tried modifying build prop values to see if facebook messenger was somehow disabling the feature based on android version but have not had any luck. What is curious is if you restore messenger from a backup made on a working ROM/device, it does enable the setting briefly and for a single use. Once the app realizes it's authentication is out of sync with Facebook main it requires you to resync and you will lose the feature again. I have found minimal forum posts about it, I believe some other devices are free from issue on 4.2.x though.

[Q] [BUG] Phone app hanging on first SMS sent after reboot

Hello All,
I'm new to the rooting and rom debugging process, therefor I need a hand from you.
I've installed an Omnirom on my Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 and I have a little issue.
Whenever I restart the phone and send a text message, I have an android message saying the Phone App stopped working.
While the text message goes through to the contact I send it to, it still bothers me a bit.
Do you know of a way to check the logs for this issue ? Which logs should I watch ?
Thanks for any insight you can give me on this.
Regards
Christian
Hi there,
same here on my Galaxy Note N7000.
And there's another issue: If I want to use the sharpen/soft editing inside the gallery, the Editor closes as well.
Thanks, OmniRom for this great great work! It feels like I have a new phone right now.
Regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
Indeed, I had not noticed that since I never used the option. I can look into that as well if someone helps me identify the logs.
Thanks for sharing that info
Chris
known issue, already discussed on JIRA
http://jira.omnirom.org/browse/OMNI-683
Thank you for the feedback Entropy512.
I will close this thread then.
Have a good day

WhatsApp's video problems, please HELP me I'm desperate!!

Hello guys, I'm very desperate to find a solution to my problem, which is that when I record a video (with the stock camera) and try to send it through whatsapp it later kind of converts itself in a slow motion video (I DON´T HAVE IDEA HOW THE F* IT DOES THAT). If I watch the video recorded with the stock camera on the gallery it looks normal, nothing weird, but after I send it to someone through whatsapp the video now has bad audio synchronization and the movements look like if it was a slowmo video.
I've already tried uninstalling, previous versions of whatsapp, tried installing the most recent versions of it downloaded directly from their official web page, I even unrooted my phone reinstalled my official rom which is PL10 - B839 (Emui 3.1 - Lollipop 5.1.1), I did the factory reset...but nothing have fixed this utterly annoying problem. I don't know what else I can try, please help me guys!!!
You didn't need to do all that. WhatsApp has limit on file size you can send and it changes the framerate when you try sending a big file size video. The best way around this is to lower the quality of the video recording in camera settings.
Hi @HowlingSoul, did you get a solution for this? My wife has it on her phone (Huawei) as well. I can't get rid of it! Uninstalled / Reinstalled Whatsapp, cleared phone storage, reset full phone including full format but to no avail.
@sarcastical; it's not that at all. It happens with short videos, long videos etc etc. The sound is still in actual "rate" so to say. Lowering the camera settings has 0 impact.

No, I haven't found a solution for this problem and WhatsApp still doesn't give me a reply for my email explaining it. Maybe you can also send an email to them to this address [email protected]. If you have rooted your devices I recommend unrooting them and testing if the problem goes away (in my case it didn't, I just rooted my phone to change the font style). I had to send the email directly from Gmail because when I sent it through WhatsApp - Contact Us they saw that I had root in my device and just ignored my email. Please keep sharing everything related to this so we can find a solution.

Hmm that's very strange, send an email to them too to [email protected] I hadn't had this problem.
Sorry was gone for a bit ...
It all of a sudden worked for 1 day! I got a nice video of my kid in actual motion. Of course I hadn't changed anything. But then the next day all back to slow motion again ... I will send them an email. My phone is unrooted.

I still have this problem :'( . I'm still waiting for their response to my email, if they tell you something or how to fix this please share it.
Hi guys!! I have good news, with the new update (2.16.107) the video problem is gone! now I can normally record a video (even a 1080p video) and send it through WhatsApp and it will look normal and the audio is now properly synchronized too! Please, tell me if the update works for you too.
They didn't answer my email though.

Hi guys! Well.....this issue exists as of today with the P9 Plus! Also there are issues with Snapchat too, where the camera auto zooms and other sound issues. Why does Huawei keeps having these odd camera issues with the most popular apps! We just hope they fix it with an update soon....maybe never!

[Kind of Solved] Sony Xperia T WhatsApp and some other problems

So I just flashed the stable CM11 version (after having some troubles with the Nightly Build) and now following problems occure:
Whatsapp can't send or receive any media files e.g. voice messages, pictures etc. Just normal texting does work. Also if I try to take a picture or record a voicemail an errormessage appears like "camera not available"
The only reason why I switched from my old Xperia E to the new phone was, that my GF wanted to play Pokemon Go with me, but the App won't start correctly. It just closes after the login via Google.
I tried some workarounds (because I assumed an error with the sdcard0), so I used chmod /chown to exclude permission problems. The only difference was visible at Pokemon Go: The App now closes a bit later (I don't think it's important, but maybe). It's not too important to get PGo up and running but that Whatsapp-thing really is annoying me. Sorry for my bad english.
Did you flash some of the Google Play Services packages after installing the rom? If not you will have to.

Yes I did. But I found a solution: I flashed Neo's Build of CM12, reinstalled all Google Services and now it works just fine...
