Hello,
I'm having an issue with my Note 8 where I try to save GIFs from Chrome, the stock browsers, text messages, etc. but they save to my phone as JPEGs instead. I cannot figure out why this is happening or how to stop it. Has anyone out there had the same issue and know a fix? Thank you. Steve.

Hey Guys,
Running the RemICS 1.3.2 with baseband KPL. This updated version of this ROM is really good especially since fixing issues with the camera etc.
One thing I have noticed:
I can send pictures and media via MMS and Whatsapp absolutely fine. Although I have a strange issue receiving. I will receive an MMS and be notified of receiving an MMS. I open the default messaging app but no picture, no option to view attachment and no picture downlaoded anywhere on phone although it has received the MMS. Using Whatsapp, I have a very similar issue, I will receive a picture in a conversation and I can see the thumbnail preview. Although clicking this or the 'Download' button appears to do nothing. BUT when I look within the phone or gallery, within the Whatsapp media folder is the file name of this picture ending in .jpg although showing no size (0kb) and it displays a blank thumbnail within the gallery.
It seem as this ROM as an 'issue' handling images to be downloaded via a messaging app. I have not checked other media or other apps. Could this be related to the 'old camera issue' in the older ROM versions?
It has nothing to do with my MMS, APN or NETWORK settings, I have plenty of 3G coverage, WIFI and have even tried downloading via 2G to no avail.
Is this a known fault with this ROM? Is this just my unit? Is there a fix or solution?
Please help because it is irritating me!
If no fix, I may have to change to another ROM. Can anyone recommend a slick looking ROM with good performance and excellent battery longevity?
***BUT I DO LOVE THIS ROM SO WOULD APPRECIATE A FIX***
Thanks
How the heck do you stop the standard messaging program sending pictures as 5 second video's??
I did try searching the forums, but it seems the search isn't working, I even went through pages and couldn't find anything.
I've tried a few custom i9305 roms, but they all do it..
Is there any mod or patch that fixes this?
Thanks
Seems its problem no one can fix so I just did a work around.
Installed Go SMS Pro, removed SecMMS.apk, rebooted.
This let GO SMS handle all the messaging.
Though pictures still show up on the other S3 as MMS Movies until they install another messaging client.
Has anyone had issues sending gifs with the stock sms app? My wife sends them to me with her G2 no problems. I can view them in the sms app no problems and even see them in my gallery. But when I try to send them they only come up as still pics.
subscribing bc I also want to know
Been using Dex mode the last couple days and there is a couple things I find really annoying. One is when I'm texting, hitting enter doesn't send a text message, it just acts as the return key in samsung messages and the default android messages app. I can change my messaging app to the facebook messenger which hitting enter does work but it is kind of terrible looking in dex mode and I'm not a fan of involving facebook in my messages if I don't have to. and Two, for whatever reason my chrome window will dim and will not brighten back up, I can have it up and get a text message that pulls up and after I reply and close the messaging app chrome is noticeably dimmed, the samsung internet browser doesn't do this but I prefer chrome since all my stuff is saved and tied to it.
Does anyone know how to make my physical keyboard send messages with the enter key in the default Samsung messages app? I can't find anywhere to map keys and it gets old having to click a send button all the time.
Does anyone else's chrome dim when switching between apps in dex but never brighten back to normal? Been using the samsung browser but it isn't my favorite.
Does anyone have any good app options to use in dex? Video/Audio/Photo editors, media players, Spreadsheet/Docs/Presentation software, and anything else you can think of that might be useful.
Currently using sheets/docs from google, vlc media player, and the photoshop collage maker app for pictures.
Basically I can get by my daily work routines with a decent app to perform these few functions. (video editing/photo editing, spreadsheets, documents, presentations, and a good media player that can use subtitles.) And if I can accomplish this in dex I could solve a lot of problems without having to go run around and retrieve my laptop or be forced to carry it with me 100% of the time.
I'm having the same issue, but can't pin down what the issue is. I think I have found that opening a new tab fixes it for a time...
Recently purchased an xperia 1 ii which I love but gifs being sent to me by both androids and iphone won't animate in my Google Messages app. The ones I send are fine and the ones I get through other apps such as GroupMe work fine as well. Even when I save the gif from a sender from my messages app, I open it in my gallery or file explorer and it's saved as a .jpg. Any ideas to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
