[Verizon LG G3] justbenny2k:
Has anyone else noticed animated gifs via MMS not working when someone sends you one? My friends and I like to use them as quick responses and they're getting mine just fine but theirs comes through as a still. Despite opening the gif in Gallery or QuickPic, the gif appears to be broken. Also, it doesn't seem to matter which text app I use. Stock, Hangouts, or even Verizon Messaging shows all animated gifs broken. In case you're wondering, I use Hangouts primarily because it shows the gifs animated in-line. I'm also not rooted and I have no interested in rooting until after I've played around with the Lollipop update (whenever that happens).

Here are some things that I've noticed:

(1) It started happening when I got 12B

(2) A factory reset doesn't solve the problem

(3) Hangouts <-> Hangouts shows animated gifs properly but MMS -> Hangouts is broken

(4) People are still receiving my gifs animated

So what's going on? Is anyone else having this problem? Is it a Verizon issue?

Any suggestions, help, info, whatever would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
[Verizon LG G3] justbenny2k:
Update

I installed Textra and it appears to be handling animated gifs no problem. But... this still doesn't explain why they don't work in any of the 3 SMS/MMS apps that come with the G3. Problem solved for now but it's really more of a bandaid than a true fix.
[Verizon LG G3] hawkswind1:
Hmm must not be a Verizon issue since Textra works. Shame we can't just blame them. Gifs play in Hangouts for me in-line as you described with 12b. There were some cases on google forums where clearing Hangout app/cache, uninstalling Hangouts, reboot, and reinstalling Hangouts worked for some but I don't think you can do that unrooted. Plus you have already factory reset anyways. I'm assuming your Hangouts is up to date.

On a side note, after taking the LP update you might no longer have the choice to root if they block rolling back to 10b which I'd say is highly likely. Best to unlock bootloader now. Within days of release the devs will release the LP OTA in a flashable zip. Just my two cents.
[Verizon LG G3] bskeezer:
Could you share your settings? I'm still unable to get gifs to work in Textra. I'm using a G3 on Verizon.
[Verizon LG G3] justbenny2k:
I haven't touched the settings other than what it automatically took care of. It was weird, though, last night I suddenly stopped receiving texts in a timely manner so I uninstalled Textra and reinstalled it. Problem solved and it was working again. Have you tried that?

The first time I installed Textra on my L3 (I used it religiously on my old rooted HTC Evo3D) I was on one of the previous builds like 10 or something and it seemed to break texting entirely. All texts that I sent stayed in "sending" limbo while I wouldn't receive texts from anyone else. Even uninstalling Textra didn't fix the problem so I had to do a factory reset to get texting back. It has only been since gifs broke in stock/Hangouts that I even decided to install Textra again. I'm on 12B and now it works fine for me but I have no idea why.
[Verizon LG G3] bskeezer:
I actually just realized that you can access a giphy library from within textra. I was trying to save gifs from chrome and attach but that didn't work. But using the gifs from within textra worked perfectly. I did change my MMS proxy port to 80 based on something I read on androidcentral, but I'm not sure that's necessary.
[Verizon LG G3] justbenny2k:
Update - that didn't last long

Textra has decided to spontaneously stop allowing me to send animated gifs larger than 2mb. I've gone into the MMS settings and changed the sending settings to "no limit" and it's still rejecting the send. Odd, it worked just fine up until a couple of days ago.

Trying other texting apps allows me to send large gifs but still received animated gifs are still broken. I'm getting really tired of this the reps at my local Verizon store are idiots.
[Samsung Gear VR] Domen Lo:
Okay so this topic was started when Jaunt began to frameskip furiously on my Exynos device making the McCartney video useless to watch. I figured it's just a video so it should play normally in a normal player. Here is my progress so far - keep in mind that the process requires rooting and some technical knowledge. Anyways:

1.) All Jaunt VR content is saved in /data/data/ which means you need to root your device to access the video files. It also means that you're not just stuck with one video, but can access their entire library that's available for Cardboard users, but not us. You can access Elle, R5, Black Mass, Hobbit, a Jack White concert, Kaiju Fury and The Mission.

Basically what you do is run the cardboard app, wait for the video to download, then extract the mp4 file from /data/data/

2.) Jaunt VR content is slightly different from other VR videos - they pack their Zenith and Nadir to the right of the 360 video, meaning the normal player sticks them inside the space making it very wonky. Example:

This means that the first step needed to be done is to remove zenith and nadir from the video file. In this example I'm using Handbrake, which is free.

3.) The resolution is 2560*1440 pixels with TB SBS 3D. Out of this resolution 360 pixels is zenith&nadir so this can be cropped out. If you want to separate the 3D feed this is also the place to do so.

4.) Since zenith and nadir are missing the video is too tall so additional scaling is needed. About 80% height seems right to me. However since the video is TB SBS there is no simple way to add padding to normalize size. Here is my process so far...

- split left and right eye in previous step

- open new photoshop/premiere/after effects project with same settings (2200*1440 @ 59.94 fps)

- put top on top half, bottom on bottom half

- scale each to 80% height around the center point of the layer

- export and go bake a cake since it will take a while

- enjoy some jaunt VR content inside a normal player

I'm sure someone can find an easier way to add padding to a TB SBS video, but that process logic works for me.

[Bravo General] oldschool63:
I am running Quarx's last CM10.2 build (10/30/2013) for the MB520 for a while now and I am quite happy with it. There is one issue I have found which seems to be a bug though. The problem has to do with Privacy Guard: every time I boot the phone and go to Privacy Guard to check its settings some apps seem to have been "turned off". These are Privacy Guard's Alzheimer symptoms:

The more apps you have selected, the worse it gets.

Privacy Guard does not forget the individual settings for that app, just the general on/off switch for that app is "off".

Privacy Guard does not always "forget" the same apps, but it has clear favorites for "forgetting", like Google Play Books (not a system app on my phone)

Anyone else who noticed the same problem? Is there another version of Privacy Guard which might have the bug fixed?

Thanks,

Markus

Hi,

I have installed a custom rom using cwm , prior to installation i backup my phone using android recovery and it created a backup file stored in SD card. now when i want to recover my data using the backup cwm fails to find any file. please suggest some remedy to sort out this (i have micromax A114)

Thanks

Rajesh
[XDA Assist] It_ler:
Generally you should use the same recovery version for restoring in which you have created the backup.

BTW "3e" reminds me of stock recovery. Usually you can't create a complete system backup (nandroid backup) in stock recovery. You will need to flash a custom recovery first, then create a backup.

Best is to check this thread about your device: Micromax Canvas 2.2 A114 Development, ROM, Root, CWM {Ultimate Thread}.

If you are registered on xda, you can post your question in the corresponding Q&A thread.

And here is a general guide for MTK devices: [GUIDE] Beginner's guide - first steps with a MTK phone.
[XDA Assist] biswasr0:
thanks sir for your suggestion

much appreciated

is there any way to extract at least contacts from that .backup file created by android recovery 3e (stock recovery)

Regards

Rajesh
[XDA Assist] It_ler:
As I don't use any "backup" of stock recovery, you should better ask in one of the threads I posted in my previous answer.

I know that you can restore parts of a nandroid backup created in custom recovery (e.g. CWM or TWRP recovery).

Thanks for your understanding. Thread closed.

Hey, thank you for the help!

It starts and it doesn't! With the battery, after I try to turn on, it keeps blinking repeatedly and stops only if I remove the battery. And my issue with any fix that I try to flash is that the computer doesn't recognize, probably cuz the blinking blue light is just a random light and not the phone actually trying to turn on... so Odin, for example, doesn't catch any device!

Is there any way to make the computer recognize it? I already tried some usb drivers, but nothing so far... BTW, I have a windows 10.
