My previous phone, Nexus 6, had this amazing feature which would string together all photos from each individual sender. Meaning that if you clicked on w photo, from stock messaging app, from a particular sender and wanted to see what other photos they've texted you, whether it was from the same day or a month ago, all you had to do was swipe to the left or right of the photo and it would automatically take you to every other photo that the sender texted you, without having to back out of said photo and go scrolling through all messages to find other photos.
Question is, is there anyway we can get that feature working on the G4? Or could someone point me in the right direction of how I could try to get this working on our G4's. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance everyone.

Probably should be asking this in the G4 forum, not here.
I was about to say the same thing... Lol
I get that. But I still have my Nexus 6 also and I was wondering if anyone here knew of a way that I can copy and change that feature to get it working on my G4 also guys.

If I load a custom rom on my Captivate will it ever be possible to restore back and start receiving OTA updates again?

Yup! You can either reflash it back using odin, or go back and forth with a program called rom manager.
I'd be careful, I don't think this post was supposed to go into android development.
Welcome to the Captivate. Like most forums please read the sticky's, they are there for your help. We have the Odin 3 one click that is very useful, as well as the Clockworkmod recovery which your question is about. Also just search the site and look at lots of threads as there are a lot of knowledgeable people to help on the site.
Reading through those stickies has helped wonders for me.
And your posting in the wrong captivate forum section, this is development not Q&A...
Moved to QnA.
Welcomed to the forum!
Welcome! And once you start playing with android apps that are actually useful you won't miss face time and 300 flashlight apps. I'm having fun setting key bindings and gestures to simplify my phone.
Ok that was off topic, but I just don't see the appeal of iOS in any version. Though I admit apple gave the form factor for todays smart phones.

Is there anyway to edit video that is to long to email or message? When I used to send video from my iPhone via email or MMS it would tell me the video was to large and let me edit it so I could send it.

I'm sure an app exists but the trick is to set the camera to a text friendly setting. Play with the camera app a bit. Its pretty good. The mms setting for video automatically times you out at the size limit.

hey guys I have an issue with att telling me I am tethering when I am not. They are taking my unlimited data away. I am collecting evidence against them in the form of recorded phone calls where they are flat out telling me they are above the law. My lawyer is pretty excited lol. Anyway, I need someone to point me to a captivate from with working g call recording. No apps I try to seem to work. Fyi I am aware of the legality which is why I tell att I am recording them for the purpose of using
The call as evidence in court. Thanks for the help. I am tired of their crap and am going g to do something about it. Hopefully I can set some type of precedent lol.

In the main search box on this page, to the left of "find you device", just search "call recording on captivate" and you will find many choices.
Paragon has it. Its a froyo rom though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915698
Keep in mind this is illegal on some states.
Thanks gents. I'm working g twelve hours a day seven a week now so I don't have time to search through threads, wanted an updated one so I asked. Froyo is fine I only need it for a day or so. And its not illegal if I I form the other party, and in most states if it is over a line you own you are allowed to record anything you like.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
Pretty much as long as you tell the person you are recording them, its legal. Also, I believe the "line you own thing", otherwise how are all these celebrity phone calls leaked w/o major lawsuits where the action of recording and not defamation or whatever was the base of the lawsuit. Then again, pretty much if you are rich (celebrities, politicians) you can get away with just about everything anyway!

The best way I found to do this is to use the Firefly ROM. It is a Froyo rom and is no longer supported, but still works flawlessly. There is a call recording zip that you can flash that will add call recording to the ROM natively. Take a look at the following links:
Firefly ROM Page
Firefly ROM Download
Call Recording Zip - take a look at the second post on the page for more mods to the ROM

Hey all, Nexus 4 convert here... Love the phone so far, but missing some tweaks on the AOSP system that I am really starting to feel in my day to day tasks. My biggest miss right now is the auto-reply from the pull down menu. Anyone have any ideas or think this is something I could get if I pulled the apk from another ROM? Thanks team!
I am not an expert but I doubt you are going to be able to pull the .apk to get the identical feature. I think you are probably better off getting a 3rd party SMS app to reproduce the functionality. Don't take my word for it though, try installing it. Worst that could happen is it doesn't work.

Facebook messenger app does quick replies very nicely. Also go pro, chomp sms, and handsent. You have plenty to chose from. Just disable notifications from the stock app.

Hi, so I've had my Z1 for two days now along with the QX10 lens I got free part of my deal with CPW, I've took more photos with the lens attached than the main camera as it seems to be able to take near perfect photos everytime!
One question though is there a way to use the Z1's dedicated camera shutter button when the QX10 lens is attached? So far when pressing it, it just launches the default camera app, I tried turning off quick launch but it just vibrates when pressing the camera key and nothing else.
I know there is a dedicated shutter button on the lens but I find it a bit difficult to press, for some reason it tries to take photos in burst mode.
Maybe it's just me but if anyone else who has the lens can let me know it would be appreciated

Not at the moment, it's touchscreen or QX10 button, I'm not certain it's possible to remap it? But to be honest I don't have any problems with the way it's set up. And you'd have the same problem remapping it to another button. What you're looking for is a way to make it less sensitive. So you only take one pic at a time. But remember the more photos you take the more chance you have of getting the perfect shot

Thanks for the feedback, yes maybe that's what it is, it's a little sensitive, but I also think I'm getting confused with the two stage camera button on the Z1 and then when use the lens I'm thinking I need to press and hold when all I need to do is press!! I few more uses and I'll be fine, what's your thoughts on the lens?

I'm liking it so far, my only concern is the lack of flash? I'd like to have the option to use the phone flash when it's strapped on the back, as get a loss of quality in darker conditions. Only way round this I can think of is to install a flashlight app to switch it on. Not too bothered tho as was only messing about taking pics of the moon and bats in garden lol.

I really want to be able to get my QX10 photos to default to my SD card - at the moment the directory is on internal storage - anyone hears of a way let me know - I have my normal camera defaulted to SD card but the playmemories app just does not want to play ball yet.

I should have mentioned my setup apologies > they do save to the card I put into the camera - I was referring to the 2Mpixel versions sent via wifi to the phone - you cannot default that folder to the phones SD card it creates it on the internal memory
Quick question: is the lens still available, ordering mine from CPW on friday, i cannot get any links to the offer to activate...thinking it might just be me, staff in the shops here in essex didnt know it even existed and tried to push scummy iphones on me yuck.

Well I believe it's for the first 1,500 customs, you will be best of ringing the sales team up and checking stock first.
Yes sales staff will try and sell you something that's in stock, some will actual care and listen to what you want.

As the title said, the phone doesn't give me the choice of always or just once, there's only a menu and I can click the app that automatically becomes the "default" app... It sucks as I need to save a pdf from Outlook to One Drive to then open it in write pdf but it won't since one drive is the default app and I don't get the choice...
How do I fix that??
Experiencing the same.. Any fix? And the menu button [(long-press) back button] sometimes doesn't work well.

I may be wrong here, but this may be a feature of Lolipop. In other words, we're not given the choice each time like its previous iterations...

I don't think you can "fix" it but you can undo the default by going to settings then applications then going into default applications and clearing that apps default.
I hate this "feature" depending on what I am doing I always want to use different apps to open files. Come on Samsung (or Google) fix this. I think it is Samsung as I had a G4 and had the option on my G4
Kinda fixed it by using Better Open With from the play store...

I got the 5.1.1 s6 edge update just this morning and it didnt give me a choice, just chose a permanent option just like on note 5 that i got this afternoon. You can always reset defaults, but once you open a link in an app with a specific app, dont you want to keep that choice for the future? I don't mind the change
This is frustrating! I'm going to check out that app. I'm commenting to be a part of this thread for future fixes.
The problem in note 5 . I have note 4 with lollipop 5.1.1 and has no problem
I hate the disappearance of (just once and always) option that i used frequently, hope to fix it in next update
You can go into default apps and clear it. Then choose your app when you open that file. Or, use ES File Explorer to open as. There's no problem with the phone. There cut out unnecessary crap, which I think is better. That screen would always come up and piss people off. Haha.

There's no fix for this, at least for now, I talked with Samsung Customer support they did like that to "please their customers" (I don't understand); it's not a lollipop issue, other models like core prime and others with 5.1.1 still ask always or just once, it's really frustrating, but even more frustrating is to find people out there that is happy with this change, ''unnecessary crap'' they call it, since they do not know how to use their phones looks like they want everybody else to suffer, it's so simple if you do not like it! just click ALWAYS and leave the rest of the people that use their phones for more than just calls, chat and listen to music to keep using our amazing JUST ONCE and let us be happy!!!!, what else we will have to take from Samsung?
NO SD CARD SWAP
NO WATER PROOF
NO BATTERY SWAP
COPYCAT DESIGN
EAR PHONES PLUG AT THE BOTTOM
AND NOW THEY TOOK OUR OPTION TO CHOOSE!!!!
this company it's going backwards or what?
this happened on my note 4 as well with 5.1.1.
the change was completely unnecessary, as people could just click "always" if they wanted. why remove the option?
but for those of us who open diff links in diff apps depending on the context. we are screwed?
has anyone found a fix?
Don't be selfish

Don't call unnecessary crap to such a smart option just because you only use your cellphone just for chat and Facebook navigation, it's very simple, it's just two options and by simply clicking ALWAYS!!! you can be happy! and leave the rest of us, those who really use our cellphones as smart devices enjoy our freedom to CHOSE!!! and let us be happy with our choice that we miss so much ''JUST ONCE''.

You shouldn't give useless advises, I would if I could, first I have to wait up to 6 months for another swap and second I can't sell it for the price that I paid for the phone which it's dropping very quickly.
Luckily it's not all over and this app will fill the emptiness in the heart of those who miss the liberty of CHOOSING, the app "Better Open With" will make your life easier, it worked for me and don't ask for any information.

Thanks for this app. Just noticed this same issue on my S7 and sometimes I use different browsers for search. So having to go in and clear out the default each time wouldnt have been cool. I like how the app has a countdown and pause as well. Great suggestion.
