How to change the video resizing the video quality so low when I text it because I record in 4k but when I text it, it changes to like 360p or something like that and you can't even see anything. .
Galaxy s2 on Orange UK - 2.3.5, BVKJ4.Why when i send or recieve a picture message does it turn it into a video and play the "still" image for 5 seconds? When i send a long text message it converts the message to a "slideshow" and some people moan that they cannot even view it when its sent them?
So i ran into a issue last night that could be a big problem for me down the road. I recorded a 15 sec video clip on my son saying something cute. I tried to text it to my sister (who has an iPhone) but it wouldnt attach. It said file is too large. a 15 sec video is too large??? It wasnt even on the highest setting (4K). It was on the default HD. I went into the details of the video and it was 29mb. Luckily I still have my iPhone 6 so I grabbed that, recorded my son again (of course it wasnt as good as the first time) and sent it to my sister via iMessage with no issue at all.
This may seem like a minor thing to some but the fact I cant text a 15 sec video clip to my family is ridiculous. I couldnt even email it. I love my S6 for the most part but for little things like this I can see why people prefer iOS. So my question, Is there a way to compress a video to send it via text? I did this all the time with my iPhone not only to other iPhone users but users on other platforms as well.
have received some video/picture messages but i cannot hear anything. my volume is on....i am somewhat sure of that. why can i not hear the sound? i know with the iphone it is automatic. is there something in my settings?
When users send me pictures, my S6 edge chooses to play them as videos, so i have to wait for the picture to pop up, and when it does its super tiny. Any settings I can use to fix this?
The video is extremely blurry and appears out of focus when I send it via a text after the automatic resize it does. Is there a setting to adjust this?
When I try to send multiple photos with my new s6 edge it will only load one of the pics to be sent via txt. When I try to send a video it says it has to resize video so I allow it to do so. But then when I send the video it is half the length and very blurry.
Got a Google voice number for ministry reasons, I'm able to now receive text from my friend, but just to the GV number and thru Hangouts, hey, it's just a bandaid but it's something
We've recently switched over from Sprint to AT&T (very relieved!) and ported our numbers. We upgraded from HTC Evo 4g LTE's to Galaxy s6's. I have one contact who is also on the AT&T network and for some reason cannot receive any texts from her, either SMS or MMS. She has an iPhone (not sure if 5 or 6). She can receive my text and reply, and it appears to her that they are sent but I never receive them. Here is what we have tried so far:
1. Contacted AT&T tech support. He rebroadcasted my number just in case. 2. AT&T tech checked that all three numbers were ported correctly 3. AT&T tech had me call my friend from my wife's phone and we all three had a convo via speaker phone and tested between my wife's phone and my friends phone, both SMS and MMS with pictures worked fine. 4. Checked that I didn't have her contact blocked in any way. 5. Tried having her turn off iMessage and text, nothing. Tried having her send as SMS, nothing. 6. We deleted each others contact and re-added, nothing. 7. I called AT&T porting (they have their own number) he checked and everything was ported correctly and finalized. 8. probably tried a couple of other things but to no avail
Other than this issue, the phones are fantastic, the network is fantastic.
I just got the galaxy s5..I am receiving some duplicate text messages, I cannot figure out why! Not every single message comes through twice, just some of them. Also some of my sent ones are showing up twice on my phone (not twice to the recipient though). I have tried to search online and cannot come up with a resolution.
I am not receiving message notifications when I receive a new text messages on my Samsung Galaxy S5. How can I change this so it shows new messages on home/lock screen?
I need to print a series of text messages from an individual, to take to court. What is the best way to do this. I backed up to phone via Kies and S-Connect, however I can't find the file that holds the text messages.
My Samsung Galaxy S5 will notify me I have a text and it shows up in the task bar. I can pull the task bar down to read it. After I close the task bar it's like the text never existed. The text does not show up in the messages app either.
I have tried clearing out the memory and several reboots. I also installed a virus protection program in case it was that. I went back to the plain messages app from the messenger plus, that did not do the trick either. Nothing seems to work.
So I bought my S5 a few months ago, from T-Mobile. Recently, I unlocked the phone and switched over to AT&T. Now I've noticed that I'm not receiving all of my text messages. I can't figure out any real pattern, I just know that I'm not getting all of the texts people are sending me, but most of them are going through. Also, I've received several messages reading "122 Error Invalid Number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code. 0605040710000041637469766174653A64743D3135" ....
My wife's text messages from her mom (iphone) get split up. I think it's only from her mom's phone because I just sent her a long one and it came in as one message.how to fix this?
I noticed that I had two text messages of a random string of characters sent to a random number. I think I have noticed this before but never paid it any attention. Do you think an app is using text messages to communicate with a server or something?
My current text messages are being combined with old text messages, creating messages that don't reflect what I sent. The recipients of my texts are very confused....as am I when I get there response.
I have recently changed to a Samsung Galaxy s6. I have a friend who has the s4 and every time i text her she does not receive my texts. I do receive her text messages fine it' s just when i send a message she doesn't receive it. I am able to call her fine.
I got a Samsung Galaxy S6 and I have to say, it's the worst cellphone I ever owned. I don't care about all the fancy stuff. I need a phone so people can call me and send me text messages. But that simply doesn't work. I never get phone calls nor text messages, when I restart the phone, I got tens of messages telling me about missed phone calls.
the text messages seem to be frozen with the little blue circle working and just giving me the message "sending"..i haven't had this problem with other messages, only a few. the messages are not very long at all and no pictures or anything, just text messages.
My Galaxy S6 has been great except for one huge problem I've noticed. Random text messages disappear. And they don't just disappear inconspicuously.. they disappear AS I'M READING THEM.
I will get a message, open up the messaging app, start reading it, get halfway through it, and BAM, the message vanishes and it never comes back.
Restarting the phone doesn't bring it back, it's just gone. I know that some messages disappear because I SEE them disappear, but what gets me is how many messages have a missed that have been sent, and my phone just makes them vanish before I read or even notice them?
Here's a video showing a message disappearing on my Galaxy S6.
I am having troubles with my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925W8 running Android 5.1.1. Ever since I upgraded to 5.1.1 I have sometimes been unable to receive text messages. This never used to happen with the older version of software I ran when I first got my device, and it is becoming rather annoying.
At random times I cannot receive text messages, and I have found the only way to 'spur' my device to receive messages would be to sending one. But this can be rather tedious, because if I haven't received a text in a while I'm not sure if it's my phone acting up again (so I must send a random text to try and download the waiting texts) or I just genuinely have not received a text.
