GIF question/problem?? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Just wondering if anybody is having the same issue as myself. Everytime I send a gif through the stock messaging app it plays extremely fast. When I play them through the gallery they play normal, but it's only when I send one. Anybody might know the reason why.
Thanks.

Anybody??

I'm having the same issue idk y. I bought my note 8 two weeks ago and was able to make and send GIFs without a problem. Now when I make them they are at normal speed but when I send them it's faster and ruins the point of me sending it in the first place.

Never figured it out. I switched to Android Messages till there is a possible solution. All the 3rd party messaging services work fine.

That sucks that we have to use 3rd party messengers. I wonder if anyone else is having this issue. Also does the right side of you phone have light bleed?

Yeah I have this same issue, GIFs play really fast in the stock messenger. I don't really care, I rarely send GIFs anyway.
Here's a thought, it might play really fast for us, but ask the receiver & see if it plays fast for them. I suspect that it doesn't for them so it's not as much as a problem but who knows.

They play fast for the receiver as well. Obviously a issue with Samsung messaging service. I don't send many gifs, but it is annoying that they do not work properly.

That sucks, oh well. Thanks for confirming.

Mines play fast as well to the people I send them to. I like making GIFS so this is very upsetting to me. Don't even get me started on the light bleed, other than those two major issues I love my note 8.

I sent my brother a gif & live message gif yesterday, he said it seems to play normal for him. The gif I sent plays way to fast on my phone (in the native messager) to make out what's going on but he was able to tell what happened in the gif. He's got a LG on Verizon though & I'm on Tmobile, not sure if carrier would have anything to do with it.
Next time he comes over I'll test again & have a look for myself on his phone to confirm.

I too have the issue I see it as way to fast while some receive it fine and others don't! I guess maybe I need to experiment to see who and why!

It is very strange. It has to have something to do with the way it is sent through the native messaging app. When I make a gif it plays normal in the gallery, but when it is sent through the Samsung messaging app it plays at a ridiculous speed. What carrier do y'all have? I'm on Verizon.

The Samsung messenger compresses the hell out of it too. You can easily notice the huge difference in quality when viewing the original from the gallery & the sent copy in the messenger. Receiving ends receives the compressed copy also. So perhaps the compression might have to do with it.

Using stock Messenger...sent to another N8 and also a V20. They all look the same. The same speed as the sending phone. FYI tho, the Live Message I sent was under 1MB...so that may have something to do with it. Like if you send one that is over 1MB, that may be the reason it looks all chopped up.

I don't know if any others have noticed this but my issue doesn't seem to be the Samsung stock messaging app playing the gifs too fast, but rather when attaching a gif using the Google gboard using the stock messaging app, the gifs are too fast. When I attach a gif using the stock Samsung keyboard, that now supports gif, the animation speed is correct. But use the Google gboard and hyperspeed animation! Just as a side note when I use the Google gboard with any other messaging app this issue is not replicated as all gifs animation speeds are correct it just seems to be the combination of Google gboard and the stock messaging app. Any others experiencing this?

Still playing them too fast here and dropping frames...ruining the gif. This is after Oreo update (N950FD, UAE).

Hey I am T-mobile Rep in utah, i just had a customer that had this issues. What i had him do is go into the app settings and uninstall all updates, and then re-install the updates. Its seemed to have worked.

The Google keyboard looks to be the issue on my galaxy s8. When choosing a gif through the Samsung keyboard (which you can now do) it works fine (using the stock messaging app). As soon as I try the same thing with the Google keyboard gifs speed up. I just wish the Samsung keyboard had a gif search feature like the gboard has

Asurion address book out!

Write Asurion in Market and download the address book and the mix ins you want to get installed...
Amazing app, let's see how it develops...
im gonna bumb this cause this app is pretty cool. It connects all your contacts with facebook and twitter or w/e social network u use. It takes a couple min to setup and sync all your contacts though. I liked the notifications that it gave you for each contact. I did find it a little slow and the interface isnt really apealing. All in all, its pretty good just needs work on the interface and on the speed as well...
Havin some difficulty figuring out how to set up different notifications.
Pictures for contacts dont update with the FB page.
Ugly UI.
But to be honest the FB portion is better than the FB app. Its worth it for that alone. Alot of functionality seemingly. Absolutely needs to be streamlined.
still too laggy for daily use. it froze my phone for a good 4 minutes.
I messed with it a little. Seemed to be really slow on my G1 with CM 4.1.999.
My personal faveorite contacts app is still StarContact - I just wish they'd update it... I'd at least like to see contact photos. I hate it when good apps go abandoned.
As it stands it certainly isnt an Addybook replacement by any means.
I do hope they stick with it.
This is easily replacing my phonebook. I love it! I don't know what these other people are talking about with lag, but on cyan 4.2.2 it is phenomenal! I am blown away by it and am so glad something similar to voxmobiles upcoming effort has come out.
i'd love to try it out, unfortunately it seems it's not yet available here in germany - at least not for me
if someone could pass it on to it'd be much appreciated
cheers
anyone have a direct link? I can't find it in the market. Thanks!
Yeah I cant find it either.
I read in one of the market comments that it doesn't sync with Google, is that true?
cant find this in the market i found the you tube and speed dialer but no address book. anyone have a link?
Those of you who can't find it, where do you live. My buddy from Canada couldn't find it either. Might be a regional issue but I'm not sure.

Also have T-Mobile USA and found it. Search for Asurion.
It's a great app, but I found it has issues with the MixIn settings. It still gives notifications even though I disable them. It appears other people have issues with the settings as well that want to change update intervals so they don't use so much data. Keep in mind this is still in beta. Can't wait for an update.
can't find it. I have t-mobile USA. searched asurion and only the speed dialer and you tube mix in shows up. I'm running xrom if that helps. even if i try getting the link straight form the website, it doesn't show up. weird.

Galaxy S4 Complaint Thread

I had this for almost 24 hours and so far I love it. Just one thing that bugs me. It's the theme of the contacts, dialer, and messaging app. Why is white? When I was playing with the demo phone at best buy them 3 apps had a nice dark theme to them. I get home root the phone set it up and go to check out the contacts list I'm like wtf is this. Why Samsung why did you change the theme on them apps at gives us the option to pick dark or light. Well let's some of your complaints. A new phone is not complete without complaints.
I love the 90s. Good times.
You can change the text messaging app theme too dark. It's in the settings within that app. It would be nice to also change the contacts app, but I don't believe you can.

See when I was at best buy yesterday playing with the demo phone. The contacts and dialer was dark. I think sprint may have changed the theme I could be wrong. I noticed when I first turned on the phone it had the Samsung default boot up animation. Than the phone did a software update than rebooted with the sprint boot up. So maybe that could of changed the them. That I don't know. But I really don't care for the light theme
I love the 90s. Good times.
I hate that text flow is missing from the browser and that the buddy pages that were part of the Note 2 are missing from the S4. It is funny how you would think some standard features would follow through to the next versions of flagship devices.
I also think there is a bug in the stock email client on how many spam mails you can flag. This is annoying as well.

Yeah I noticed that too... Lets try to keep this thread going maybe some of the developers will see these issues and address once they are ready to start cooking up some roms and mods
I'm coming from the EVO 4G running MikRom, so some of my gripes may be common differences between HTC and Samsung, or they may be things I got used to by running a custom ROM. Speaking of cutom ROMs, I know some of these issues will be resolved w/ a custom ROM.
Regardless, this is what I got so far...
- Inability to sort bookmarks by A-Z order in stock browser
- Hate that if you have the volume button programmed to take picture, there's no other way to activate the zoom function
- Not wild about how the clipboard (copy/cut/paste) menu works
- Wish I could disable the shutter sound on the camera
That's it for now...
The bottom half of my screen is pink, I will be attempting an exchange tonight
I wish the volume was a little louder. On the s3 I ran freegs3 rom by clark44 great mods especially the sound boost mod he included with aroma installer. I was spoiled by the loud speaker. Where the hell is the Galaxy suite in this phone? This phone could definitely use a mean update.

Haven't had much time to actually use the phone yet but here are two that I know of.
1. Pinch to zoom
2. If you are rooted navigate to /system/csc. Edit feature.xml. Set shuttersoundmenu to true and reboot. You will now see an option to turn it on and off from settings. You can do a lot with that file like enable camera while in a call.

I am not happy with the video playback on this phone. When the movie is dark, the screen gets pixelated and the video looks terrible. Only happens when there is a lot of black in the video.
EDIT - I have quickly found the fix to that issue. I had to go to display options on the phone and set the screen mode to Movie.
i wish they stuck with roman numerals...

Thanks posting this
I love the 90s. Good times.
Just 2 on my end. Other than these, I couldn't be much happier.
1: The wifi problems I'm having where it drops the connection, then re-connects every minute or two. Sometimes it doesn't actually drop it, but it won't pass data through. Does it at home and at work, so I'm fairly sure it's phone related. If it keeps up, I may be exchanging it.
2: It doesn't send my contacts to the bluetooth system in my car. This one is pretty minor, so as long as it gets fixed at some point in the future, I'll be ok with it.

I had that the first day I had my phone but only happened when updating one app, the rest updated fine and quickly. After a few hours went again and updated as fast as it should have first.
The svdo capability was only available in the s4 krait chip set. Snapdragon600 doesn't support 3g data while on a call. You do have svLTE, though.

Galaxy Gear connect TEST, HTC ONE/GG/custom ROMs

After reading xda member "Clifford's" find that his ONE connected to his GEAR with almost full functionality (thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468522) I had to do some investigations. S-voice, according to him, was the only feature that failed to function, even after installing s-voice. For you knowledge, his phone is running OMJ's 4.1.2 ROM, its not stock.
Test phone: AT&T HTC ONE (unlocked)
The following are the Roms I have tried and their outcome was exactly the same:
Gear manager.apk: first part of install completes. however, none of the 19 additional files install... not does the installer stop trying to complete
Galaxy Gear: Connects to phone for code verification, once code is confirmed, phone/device disconnect. the error is device exception.
ROMs
CM 10.1.3
Android Rev 22.0
Android Rev GE 4.0
CleanRom 5.0
CleanRom 6.0
Maximus HD 14.0
Maximus7 2.0.0
TrickDroid 8.0.0
ViperOne 2.1.0
So, needless to say, I was not only skeptical about the previous xda member's findings...I was frustrated.
So I got on the horn with some of my Dev friends and we found:
RayGlobe 8.0
HOLY S*#T! Gear installed along with the additional files. Now for the real test............(drum roll please)
Samsung Galaxy Gear paired with an HTC ONE!!!!!
Functionality:
All call functions work. Send, receive, deny, speaker/mic, end call, etc
Notifications work, but are slow
Can change watch faces
Find my gear/phone works
Not functioning (so far, will play more tomorrow):
Weather
S-voice
Media player
Gear manager is 50% functional. S-apps begins to load, but fails. Pressing on the settings button crashes GM (does restart/reconnect)
So, "I think", Sammy is intentionally keeping this device in the S-ecosystem. Why, you ask? ...............good question.........Sammy?
I am hoping with the above information, devs can work on how we can make this at least 80%-90% functional...?
Thanks for the information

The Gear acts as a BT headset and in most cases is just relaying info from the host apps of the (Samsung) phone it's paired with. You'll never get the Gear to work (properly) with a HTC phone for the same reason TW won't run (properly) on a HTC phone. Or Sense on a Samsung phone for that matter. HTC and Samsung's proprietary frameworks run too deep. And the Gear won't work on Samsung phones running AOSP for the same reason. S Voice on the Gear is so tightly interwoven with S Voice on the phone you can't clear data or disable it on the latter once the phone is paired with a Gear. And S Voice requires a network connection to work and the server does a device ID check so even if someone ports S Voice to an HTC phone the server will deny it access.

Thanks for the thanks!
Most of the above roms are 4.3. However, this seems to make no difference as I have now confirmed functionality on 4.1.2, 4.2.2 and 4.3.
The most stable rom, so far, is TrickDroid 8.0. Pretty much exactly the same r result as RayGlobe. Calls can be answered /rejected, speaker /mic are working (however, two ppl have complained about quality of my voice), call log works perfect, as does the contacts app. Find my gear /phone also works without a hitch.
I have tried multiple different ways to get s-voice to work. A couple of the roms have s-voice already built in. RayGlobe was the better rom in this respect... S-voice would run it evoked from the watch, but then went to "must agree to terms..." error (I had already agreed). But if you pressed the SV key on the phone, the watch mic takes the input.
Biggest issue... Last night when I very first got the gear.apk to install on the RayGlobe rom, I received an Gmail which was notified by the watch. Since then, I have yet to receive any notification, text/email/FB/twot etc on any rom.
The "settings" section of the Gear Manger is completely unusable. Every time I try to open settings, GM goes to black screen and crashes. My apps is pretty much the same.
All in all, I really don't care about s-voice... It would be nice to link it to G-now!?!? But if I can get the notification part working, and maybe figure out how to clean up the watch's microphone output... I would be happy.

Dude! I was so close to giving up... After 14 installs, bricking my phone twice and wasting my entire day... I had enuf! Just then I got a text from a dev friend who listened to me rant and ***** about Samsung's management! (Seems to be a common discussion these days, hmmm) but, nonetheless, I felt better.
It wasnt long after that we found RayGlobe 8.0.
BTW, I don't have a Sprint phone that I can test with... Maybe u can answer these questions...
1 do you have ANY of the notification functions working?
2. Can you control your media player?
3 have to used it to make calls as a speaker phone? Do people complain of voice quality?
4. Can use Gear Manager's "settings" and/or "my apps"?
Thanx,
MM007

Any updates on this? Any progress?
This is great, although we need to try identify and isolate what exactly allows the gear to pair up on certain roms and why it doesnt on others.
If its simply a matter of the APK's the gear manager is requesting to install, We could simply install those manually iv managed to extract them from the gear manager apk if anyone is interested in trying.
We all realize that the touchwiz dependent features will require touchwiz obviously, in saying that tho theres no reason why they cant be replaced with third party applications in the future.

Does anyone know any of the devs from RayGlobe? This is the only rom I getting this error, "Need to agree to T&C". When you install the sv.apk, whether you run from phone or watch the first time, no T&C request.
I wonder if that is added back in, this ONE rom could work. This rom has shown the most functionality potential so far.
However, I am worried about the notifications. Very inconsistent. No one has yet to come up with any ideas. i have pretty much converted a ONE into an S3 with the apks installed. Weird using touch-wiz on an HTC.
I don't have access to a note 3. Here's my thought, can someone who has an N3 create a DL of the apks that gear attaches itself to. Mainly the notifications, s-voice, and weather. PLEASE.... Would really be a big help.

I have access to all of these. I put them all on my htc One but they reference the wrong directory so notifications etc dont work. i need someone who can unpack, re-write, and repack some bits of the apks.

[Q] Just got AT&T motox,I want to fix a few random thing that seriously bug me.

So, I picked up a moto-x.
I was pretty much happy with 4.2 other than the att contacts/ sms app but I was gonna attempt to find a workaround for that after I got the phone set up.
However, when I finally got the phone just about where I wanted AT&T forced the 4.4 update down my throat. This changed a few more things that I want to fix.
I HATE being forced to use apps I don't want to use. The beauty of the motorola to me is the black/teal (Now white -_-) interface in all the menus including texting and contacts. Now I'm stuck using that garbage from AT&T or google hangouts, neither of which I want anything to do with. I have yet to find a way to disable it without root. I was thinking I could use the app sender to send the original apps from my Electrify M, Would that work?
Since the update, Google keyboard has.... hidden... the enter key. I have to hit shift to see an enter/return key in order to start a new line of text. That is BEYOND horrible. I did some digging on line and came across a thread (which I tried to link..... ) where, what I assume are google employee, are acting if asking for a fix is the same as asking for a new feature. That kind of attitude from google is kind of lame. I do not have an option to disable the smiley key and it seems like others that previously had the option have lost it. I may also try sending swype from my electrify M if it would work. Does anyone know a way to fix that smiley issue?
So, what do you guys think? I really don't want to root my phone, but my phone is a personal thing to me, and having it set up just how I like it means a lot. So would I be better off just rooting back to 4.2/4.3?
Would it be safe to try sending the apps from my USC Electrify M? (Text, people, contacts, swype)
Anyways,
Thanks in advance for any advice, tips ETC
Same Issue
Why not just use a keyboard from the play store... And a messaging app? You don't need root to do that.
Or did I miss something?

Or use RSDlite and go back to 4.2.2?

I don't understand? The stock sms app should still be on your phone, keyboards are plentiful in the play store.
Personally I love hangouts and wish more people would quit sms since I'm still on a limited plan.

install > change to default text app > replace Icon with new one the green "T"
and you done
all options inside work great NO ROOT

Huawei P20 Pro Google Photos crashing issue

Preordered my p20 pro and was very excited. It's been an amazing phone. However, my default photo gallery has always been google photos, I have so many photos stored in the cloud through Google Photos. But the app on my p20 pro seems to not work, it constantly crashes. I've tried everything to fix it to my knowledge but nothing is working. After about 10 seconds it just crashes. I thought it was initially struggling when it said "getting photos" so I removed my google account, but the app still crashed!
Really frustrating, open to any suggestions and please let me know if you have the same issues, hopefully I'm not alone.
I'm glad I'm not the only one! Mine works and loads, but swiping between photos is quite jittery...even though it was silky smooth on my old phone! Really disappointing software optimisation for a new phone

Mine won't even do as much as yours! So frustrating! Hopefully a future update will fix
Working fine here
All good for me too, finding it strange that some people are having issues that others don't have. It's smooth and fast loading for me just like Google maps, another app people are having trouble with.
I'm having trouble with Google maps
1.07 solves the maps issue. My photos working great.
It's pretty frustrating that we don't know when these updates will actually be live to every user...I haven't had any updates and am thinking of returning in my returns window just incase nothing comes through... Pretty frustrating!
I have no issue with Google Photos. It sync between my pixel 2 and p20 pro nicely. App performance is good with no crash as well.
I only had maps issue on .106 but .107 fixed it.

It's like that with pretty muchevery phone bar pixel and OnePlus. Always dependant on the network/carrier for them to get a move on and release the updates.
I'm still on the first firmware with Three but then again I don't really care so much as I am having none of the issues with Maps or Google Photos etc.
I had a sync issue with Chrome but I fixed it with a factory reset.

I'm still stuck on 102
Try turning off the smart resolution option and see if that resolved crashing or freezing issues. Then refresh the resolution by switching back and forth once to the one you want ... This fixed Google maps for me
For me it doesn't crash but switching between photos is always a little laggy. If I go to the playstore and uninstall the google photos updates the lag is gone. So for me it is working fine with an older version but not with the current one. A friend of mine has the exact same issue. We were both on .106 (dual sim) and now on .107.

Thanks for this! It's been bugging me seeing that lag
Hope they get their act together though
Still not working for me! Any other fixes for Google photos... Is there a way to get this reported properly?
Its look like its not the good cpu witch is used that why.. i dont find any fix. (i dont use this software...)
I get that it says to connect my charger to sync my photos. And when I do it still doesn't sync.
The thing is that the option for choosing sync when charging or not charging is gone from the app. And I want it to always sync, not only when charging!
