Samsung Galaxy S II :: Why Do Pictures / Long Text Messages Get Converted To Video / Slide Show
Feb 3, 2012
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?
when i first got my phone there was no issue receiving pictures from my husband in his text messages to me. now when he sends pictures it just says "downloading" but nothing ever comes through.
Just got the Galaxy S6 a few days ago with Verizon. I'm using the samsung messaging app it came with, and noticed that every text that I receive from someone that is more than 160 characters gets split up, rather than sending as one long one or showing as one long text bubble, I'll 2, 3, 4 message notifications.

It's not really a big deal, but it's a little annoying.
However just today, a long text message was sent and I got 8 messages/8 notifications. And each message definitely had only 60 or 70 characters. Was this because it was so long that it was spit up into 8, but then why were they not split up into 160 characters?
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?
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. .
So, I just had to update my phone & I absolutely hate all the changes. For once, when I open up a text message & begin to reply, I always have to hit the letter key twice before it actually appears in the message box. If not, the first letter I type is always left out.
I was able to send pictures via text/messages ... did the update now I can not send pictures. not even getting an error message it just sits there like its sending but NOT..
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?
I have a Galaxy S5 with lots of pictures attached to text messages. When I attach my phone to my PC and search for those pictures, I cannot locate them. Only see the camera shots I took in the DCIM subfolders.
My question is, what kind of video file does this phone supports? as I converted some MKV files to AVI and then MP4 and change the screen size to 854 x 480, and uploaded it to phone but the phone displays " Sorry this video can't be played" How it is possible?
My S2 is only about four or five months old and I recently started noticing that it is not alerting on text messages anymore. I checked the settings and the obvious stuff such as the volume being on and a ringtone for text notification is set. I just went to unlock my phone and I noticed that the phone did not play the click or pop noise as I hit the keys to unlock the phone. Again, the volume was on....maybe this is a larger issue...
Unable to receive or send text messages to anyone on my contact list ,except my wife's new galaxy 6 samsung phone. I have a new Samsung Galaxy 6 phone...
My Samsung S5 is receiving text messages out of order. If within a conversation I respond in a couple different messages. the next time the person I am talking to responds it is above my response but, should be below it. Is there any way I can correct this?
This was the first video I ever converted. The video came out great, but the audio is super slow-mo. I used "AAC (faaac)" audio encoding, and I chose 128 bitrate. For video, I used average bitrate: 1000. The only other choice of audio is "AC3 passthrough", and that is only at 32/kbps? Can you guys help me out here?
I was able to send and receive text messages on my Samsung Galaxy SII which I have had since July 2012. I am on Bell network. A Bell customer service agent told me that Bell needs to update their towers to accommodate the programs that newerSamsung phones are using.
Why am I unable to receive text messages from my husbands phone (Samsung Galaxy SII)? We are both on the sprint network and I can receive text messages from everyone else, regardless of the carrier or phone. I love my iPhone but when I can't text the most important person I need to, it's just ridiclious!
I sent a text message to 10 people, but want to see who I sent it to. How do I get to see all the names?I can press and hold on the message to bring up a window that shows some of the names, but not all. I can press on the message to go into the message and that, again, only shows some of the names.even on landscape it wont show all.Under options there is nothing to show who you sent the message to.Under view message details, nothing again. (Press and hold on message to bring up option)
I just bought a 6700 but I can't send text messages. When I send something, it sends as normal but the receiver does not receive. I can receive texts as normal though.

My Blackberry was once able to send longer text messages now I can't do it at all. I have to break all my messages apart and it's becoming incredibly irritating since I mostly text all the time.
My Iphone takes pictures and video but then they do not show up on the camera roll. It says there are no pictures or video. I have tried reset and synching.
I've recently got an HTC One M8, and when I try to write a long text message, thats long enough to not fit all on the one window (so it has to scroll), it scrolls so that the bottom line of text is just above the on-screen keyboard. But THEN when i type, the auto suggest words appear above the keyboard, and cover over what I'm typing so that I can't see it, which is really annoying and means every word I have to click back and forth between the editing screen and the other screen to get the view of what I just wrote back.
PS I just noticed it only happens in landscape orientation. I always write texts this way since the keys are bigger and my hands are large. In portrait orientation it works fine.
So now my question is, is is possible to write long texts in landscape format?
Is there a fix for this problem? If I read my messages first on my Blackberry and then later open Outlook - the message is coverted to plain text in Outlook.This is annoying when I usually reply to the messages from Outlook and want them to be in HTML format.
