Gifs not playing - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Is anyone else's Note 8 having an issue where all gifs are being converted to jpg. Anytime someone sends me a live message who also have notes or a gif my phone downloads it as a jpg.
Me and my wife were in a group thread and her Verizon variant Note 8 downloaded it as a gif. My phone which is the Unlocked Variant downloaded the file as a jpg and it did not play. But anything I send, sends as gifs. Its just things I receive.

If you send the live message as an email attachment, does it arrive and play as a .gif ? Does it play as a .gif in other apps like Whatsapp?

That's interesting. It points more towards either a setting in your SMS messaging app or something to do with your carrier. Do you have a size limit in MMS settings maybe?

There wouldn't be, as far as I can remember it's limited by the carrier. I'd think big red was messing with you but a LOT of people are getting their phones today so I guess we will know for sure tonight or tomorrow.

wtff why they messing with us because we got the unlocked phone? That should be illegal. The OP said his wife has verizon version and works. This is not good ! Brand new phone can't have a 2017 text conversation? This is unacceptable. Do we go to samsung or Verizon for this issue?

Just tested my unlocked version on Sprint by having my wife text a gif from her S8+ and it plays...it does not auto repeat for every gif...but it plays all...
Try clearing the data and cache of the messaging app if you have not already done so...
If it helps...I did a factory reset when I received my device just in case of issues....

I am having the same issue with my Unlocked variant on Verizon. I even send myself a live drawing and it doesn't work upon receiving it. Oh no! My s4 was ok with gifs... come on. I haven't installed all my apps yet and I don't want to factory reset right after they're installed, but I guess I'll have to.
Already tried deleting cache and data for messaging, no go.

I had to reset to get Samsung Pay to work...something is always off with the shipped state of software...

Unfortunately, a factory reset did not fix it. I also can't attach a gif from the GBoard app. Boo, thought having android 7.1 would be nice for GIFs and messaging, but so far not on an unlocked Note 8 on Verizon...

You could try to Odin your factory firmware before sending back your device if that's what you intend...or unlocked firmware

Having Issue With Stock Contacts App!

For some reason, when I try to edit my contacts in the stock Contacts app, I get that stupid "Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped" message. Does anyone know why this is happening, and perhaps how to fix it? I tried deleting the data & cache and force stopping it, but nothing works. I did end up getting a more stable contacts app called Contacts +, but I'd still like to get this resolved anyway.
Thanks.
I can edit contacts within stock app. Not sure why its force closing on you.

I C. That's cool.
I may just use Xperia Companion to reinstall the software then.
But will using Xperia Companion to "repair" the phone's software mean it installs the INTERNATIONAL firmware, or the US? lol If I get the US firmware then I'd have to get the software to reinstall the fingerprint software too b/c we both know Sony Mobile idiotically decided not to give the US version that.
It will install whatever you currently have on the device.

Ok thanks Augie!
I went ahead and used XC to do all that to resolve a few issues. Hoping it will do so.
I'm having the same issues, no way to reinstall the app either I've cleared the data but nothing. Maybe it's a region of use thing? Maybe the way contact files save in the US?

Yeah....... it could be any of those. It was suggested to me to just wait and Sony may very likely send an update to fix it. I'm using Contacts + for now and it's been working just fine.
I have the same issue on the contacts app. I have both the X and XP but somehow X works perfectly but not the XP. I even did a repair with XC and it still doesn't work.

gclancer,
Ok so it's not just me. lol I also did a repair with XC and yeah still not letting me edit contacts. I'm not sure what to do but for now I'm just gonna use Contacts + until it's fixed. If you figure out a way to fix it, please let us know.
I also notice Google Messenger, which always worked before on my Z3 and S7, doesn't work so well for MMS messages on the XP. In group texts, the recipients I send to would get my group response AND the same response would be sent to each one individually. But I went back to using Textra which is also great and now at least that issue's been resolved.

Tks Rockstar. I am actually using simpler dialer and contact app for now. I just find it stupid that my X works perfectly and the more expensive XP doesnt. Hopefully an update will fix it.

Yeah that is some BS. One guy on here who bought the int'l XP from the same retailer as I did said he doesn't have that problem anymore after using XC (he did initially though), but we still do. Don't get it, but yeah.........hopefully an update is sent out SOON by Sony to resolve this matter.

So I loaded both the X and XP with the same apps and it turns out the speed difference are pretty minimal despite having different processors. I am seriously considering selling the XP and just keep the X. But yeah hopefully an update will be out soon to fix your problem. I am using the X now and maybe its a keeper for me lol

My contacts app is working fine on the xp. Granted I started the phone through initial set up as a new phone. Not restoring any back ups during the initial process. I went to the contacts app and it was working correctly then I imported from Google account after the fact.

gclancer,
Yeah but for me, it's not just about the speed. I love having the IP65/68 rating as I sometimes have to take calls while in the shower (I leave phone near bathroom door, not in shower lol). I'll step out and take them with wet hands and face......so for me, the XP is a must since the X doesn't have that feature. Being slightly faster is not a big deal, you're right there........but I'd still prefer it.

MGS,
Yeah the 2nd time around (maybe 1st too?), which was when I used XC, I made sure to choose the option to set up as a new phone too. I didn't really have any backups to restore anyway, so this was the only option. Yet when I went to the Contacts app it still wouldn't let me edit random contacts, though everything else worked fine with it. So not sure but since everything else is fine with phone, I'm just gonna let it go since I now use Contacts + anyway and it's much more stable.
I have been having the same issues. I have tried factory resetting it different ways. The sony bridge repair tool does not even list the Xperia X Performance on its list of phones yet. So, that's a bummer. There's this site that gives you 4 ways to do a hard reset. However, on the 4th method where you are asked to download Sony's flash tool, the X Performance isn't even listed on the supported devices.
I do wish that Sony sends a fix immediately.
mac,
I returned the phone (which had other issues too) to my Amazon seller (NGP) and the replacement they sent me this morning came ALREADY set up. Normally I would be mad about that, but the Contacts app WORKED! Didn't close out when I tried to edit it. I wanted to make sure it was fixed though, so I did a factory reset, and ughh........ it's not working now again. I e-mailed NGP and asked them to tell me what they did. I hope they can tell me so I can do it too and fix this. I will keep this thread posted.
You're right, it's very annoying! MGS told me he factory resetted but didn't use backup during setup or even log in with Google account, and it worked for him. But when I tried that........nope! Even tried creating a new account, and nope! Very weird, but again I hope NGP can tell me what they did.
Mine seem to work alright, I can edit the phone number and or contact details.

VZW Hiya phone apk

I've been using a Note 7 port on my Note 4 and have really enjoyed the integrated Hiya into the phone dialer. Of course VZW has disabled it for their own. Hiya has a stand alone app but I was curious if there's a way to take the unlocked phone app and install it on our VZW note 8. Thanks.

I didn't know there was any sort of integration in the past with hiya. Do you have an APK for that or was your phone rooted? That might be the reason. I don't know how the Standalone app works and if you have to make hiya the dialer of choice for it to work properly. If it's anything like mr. number I'd be over it
Don't think you can install the phone APK since it is probably a system app. So short of flashing it or rooting (both impossible right now) I don't think you can get it. Hiya's standalone app is crap. Obtrusive, nags a bit, not integrated into rest of the system. One of the reasons I got unlocked for my T-Mobile plan is to have proper caller ID without T-Mobile shoving their Name ID down my throat at $3.99/mo

That's what I figured, it being a system app so no way to install from another version. Thank you for the reply. Smart going unlocked! If it wasn't for the carrier trade in value I'd have done the same. Enjoy!

If you're referring to the Hiya caller id/spam feature, it''s not just the phone app & there's a chance you may not even need it. It's enabled by cscfeature.

Without root, not possible. Verizon specifically blocks this feature cause they offer their own paid subscription caller ID service.

Reason why I'm still on T-Mobile. Verizon doesn't allow for GSM devices, aka unlocked bootloader phones. Really bothers my how even T-Mobile sells locked bootloader phones. Seems like Samsung and service providers don't care though since we don't represent the majority of consumers.
Here ya go guys, if you root then use this cscfeatures file, the caller ID and spam protection GETS ACTIVATED ALONG WITH EVERY OTHER FREE SAMSUNG FEATURE VERIZON DISABLED. Caller ID, search places, Samsung cloud, as well as a few others. Scroll through the thread and use the one Baggery77 modified for Verizon. It's a few pages in.

I did a dirty flash of the rom with that csc code and worked it worked with no issue. After a clean install, the option was still in setting andturned on, but it only says Identifiying caller information without giving a result on numbers it would normally work on. Any ideas?

State of RCS on Android

So if you haven't heard, RCS is supposed to produce a iMessage like experience for text messaging in android. some features are:
-Send large sized files
-In app live notifications like (someone is typing)
Just to name a few. it seems like this feature is a little bit of a mess since it requires carrier support, OEM support and app support (not so sure about this one). I heard that the last Galaxy s9 update in July enabled support for this. Either way, question is simple.
1. When do people think this will reach the masses?
2. People who have used this feature/are using this, what are your thoughts about this?
I'm excited for this but it really seems like a faraway dream at this point. with that let's talk about this

Yea really & regarding carrier, im running on tmobile via metropca prepaid so im assuming it should work. Because trickle down features.right???
Can anyone confirm RCS working with metropcs?

RCS finally working and how to set up.

Try Updating Message in Play Store. I did everything as well and nothing happened. I checked the Play Store to see if it would give me a new 'beta' version to update and there was! Updated and opened Messages and got the new toys.
RCS is live in the USA! Confirmed working on Global version of OnePlus 7 Pro GM1917, OxygenOS 10.0.1.GM21AA on the TMobile Network.

It does not it only works with users that have RCS enabled.
I completely forgot about RCS, turns out all I need to do was turn it on.
Hope to fine out one day what exactly is the big deal.

Thanks:good:
The 7 Pro doesn't come with Carrier Services installed. Download it from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.ims
Edit: International 7 Pro on T-Mobile, testing with an S10+ on Sprint, RCS messages are in a darker shade of blue in both light and dark theme, the arrow to send a message doesn't show "MMS/SMS" under it, and the text in the message window displays "Chat message" instead of "Text message".

group text issue

I have a group text with my parents and brother. They are getting my messages but I'm getting nothing from them. On Beta 2 and have reset the Android messages app. One of the users is an iPhone if that matters. On Verizon.
I have same problem with Google messages I can send messages but I cannot receive

So maybe it was a coincidence. This weekend was my first time flying. I wonder if it was an airplane mode issue. Didn't really notice it and wasn't on my phone much after flying in on Thursday. and Saturday night I was messing around on my phone and realized I hadn't heard from my family group message. So after clearing the cache and doing all those things. I toggled airplane mode on and off after doing a couple resets that didn't do anything and all of my messages came in at once. So don't know if it was a coincidence or if it was an issue with airplane mode sticking or something. It is solved now. At least so far

You should really try using something like WhatsApp or anything else but regular text messaging for group messages.

I have WhatsApp but like two or three people I know actually use it. My mom and dad brother, not all of them have it.
Not rooted or anything. toggling airplane mode helped for some reason. I still do get this invalid file or something along those lines error occasionally. I'm assuming it's picture messages based on the context around those messages that just come in as invalid file. On that given incident that this is referring to I was traveling and had a layover so the second time that I went into airplane mode it must have hung up for some reason.

You gotta get people converted. I have my family on it and it's so much better than SMS. My closest friends like using Instagram direct messages and others do Facebook messenger. Again, anything else but SMS is better. Honestly, I can't wait for Facebook to just make them cross message with each other.

Understandable, just don't see why this is such a tough problem to solve for Android.

It's possibly a service issue although I haven't done a group Google Messages since installing Android 11 beta.

For what it matters in on the Google store unlocked version on Verizon. So, could be Verizon.

True. Are all the recipients in the group message Android users or any iOS users? I know there can be issues with that too especially if people went from iOS to Android.

I make every person I know use Telegram. Then I tell them to make their family use it only.
It makes everyone switch
