Recent update added ability to share Motion photos - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion

Since getting the update this morning, I noticed that when I attempt to share a photo, I also get the option to share it as a video. Previously, I had to use a third party app to convert the motion photos and share them.
Build number is: MMB29M.G935AUCU2APD1
I had heard that the international model got this update earlier, but I'll confess that I'm surprised to get it on the AT&T model this soon.

Whatsapp issues

Having serious issues sending whatsapp messages and receiving. Just curious if anyone else is...
Same here ?
Sent from my 920 using Board Express
WhatsApp is not yet fully compatible with WP8. An update is expected to be available soon.
Curious, what region are you? Because is not showing at all in the Windows Store here in NY.
I got it before they removed it from the store.
I use it on 7.5 and have stopped updating it when updates come out as it keeps getting worse. One of the things I wanted to see in WP8 was the ability to revert to the previous version for when developers release ****ty versions of their app and you want to use the old one.
Ya it sucks. I wish there was an alternative as good as it. Also, when I get a notification, it doesn't show the name I have set for the person in my contacts list. Its like its picking up some other name from another app or,something.
I have numerous issues, which i guess everyone seem to have. Other than no Video support (I used send and receive videos from my family on my One X ..not any more), all other issues seem to have been identified by the whatsapp guys. See link:

They blame Microsoft..!
I need this aplication
Its not very useful anyhow. I hope we get a working version soon.

Galaxy Zoom Camera app apk

Here is the improved camera app from the Galaxy Zoom. Biggest change that stood out to me is that you can now customize the interface to add quick shortcuts to your most used modes.
I don't have a rooted Galaxy Camera, so I couldn't test to see if this works on our devices since it doesn't install as a regular APK.
I got this APK via this thread but can't verify its authenticity personally, if anyone knows how to verify it, that'd be great: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2388496
Try it out and let us know if it works, it'd be great to get an improved camera app!

For android 4.2 not work on 4.1.2
This is what I have been waiting for ever since they announced the GS IV Zoom and Galaxy NX. I was hoping to see this new camera app integrated into a software update for the camera, however I haven't even seen an update come through for my camera since owning it. I know we have some amazing devs in this community so hopefully one of them has some interest in this camera to help make this camera app function correctly for our cameras.

Issue with received GIFs and pictures via MMS

This is something I've had issues with for a while, but I found switching to Textra and enabling "legacy mode" in it's settings fix it (or at least bypassed it).
At any rate this fix is no longer possible due to Google so now I'm looking for a real fix or custom ROM to truly uncover just WTF is going on. I'm hoping a really smart person here knows exactly the what and why and hopefully even knows a setting in system that I'm unaware of.
Short version is that when I receive GIFs they are not animated and pictures are very compressed and pixelated on almost all texting apps... and the few that don't do this I dislike (I also suspect they too will have the issue with the update to Google policy).
Here's my Reddit post looking for help to which I at least learned I can't update my app any longer... the dev explains some on what's going on.
https://www.reddit.com/r/textra/comments/a5lkdk/received_pics_and_gifs_compressed_nonworking/
I'm on a V30, unlocked and Rooted bought from B&H on release.. I used to be on GfUDP, but updated to Above Beyond a couple months ago. It seems since I didn't buy from Verizon I started having issues like this... which is BS (like the inability to use the visual voicemail from Verizon).
thanks for any insight or help about this. I'd like a permanent solution on system so I can use any text app I want or at least upgrade my current one.
edit, oh... sending gifs of pictures has never been an issue... only receiving them. go figure.

Where is Motion Photo setting in newest Galaxy S9 System 19 update Feb 26

Reluctantly decided to do the latest update on my S9+ yesterday which was System 19 update. A few new features I noticed but one I used all the time especially with the grandkids is where did the Motion Photo setting go? That is a big Iphone option and I loved it on the S9.. So I can't believed they removed it.... Am I missing where the feature setting is? thanks for any input
i have done the update...i still have that option enabled and active when i take still photos although i cannot find that option anymore in the camera settings
Up the yellow one.
Thanks for this thread! On tech support with Samsung & sweet girl has been going through as many things as she can trying to help me find the way to restore this option which she wasn't aware of until I called. Thank you!

Want to install a custom dialer on Pixel 4A

Hello guys.
I have been using 4A for about 6 months now. My calling is heavy due to nature of my work. However, I am really disappointed by the dialer which 4A comes with due to following reasons-
1. No unlimited call logs which is a very big bummer. It's such a basic thing any phone maker must provide.
2. Smart search from dialer is as bad as it can be. I'm coming from a Xiaomi phone and Google should really learn a few things how to make a dialer app. The search is billion times better in the latter.
3. Lack of call recording which I can live with but is desirable.
Basically I'm asking if I can install any third party dialer (preferably MiUI) ? I'm ready to root if it's needed.
Please help me. I'm on the verge of going back to my MIUI phone as my main phone just because of this crappy dialer.
PS: I can't go custom ROM way because I don't want to lose stock camera's quality.
Thanks

Try using TruePhone ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hb.dialer.free ). I have call recording and I have never came to a situation where call log was too short - I have checked my favorite contact and I have log since I installed it.
P. S. U have root on my phone, but I am not convinced if it is needed. Try it as IMHO is the best dialer with tons on customization.

Hi,
Can you elaborate on these two?
I ask because if I click the middle "Recents" button at the bottom, the call log is very limited. But if I then click the three dot button in the top right and select "Call History", it will go back very far in time.
Also, what problems are you having with the smart search? Can you mention a couple of examples?

I did check the history and surprisingly found out today that my call records are only till 6th of April from today and then directly to Oct 2020. Don't know how is that possible, but this is what I found.
I'll explain my problem to you.
When I bought this phone, I had imported around 10k call logs records but when I used to check history of numbers I dial frequently, I came to know it's not storing unlimited history. Like the person whom I have called 20 times has only 2 entries in the log.
Until today I didn't know that history between 20 Oct 2020 to April 5, 2021 is missing. I don't have a sane explanation for this.
Regarding smart search, see following scenarios:
It doesn't search if I type keywords which are between the names. Eg name is John, if I type 646, it should show but it doesn't. It always search with first letter only, be it name or surname.
Second case.
I have a name saved called Prathmesh, my dialer always fails to show it. I dial 77284, it shows other relevant search results but not this and when I type next digit, no results at all. In the frequent updates of Google dialer phone app, after one particular update, it started searching but after next update again stopped. This is one example, I can give more.
Third case.
It doesn't search from unsaved numbers. Suppose I vaguely remember I had received a call from a number which had 5555 at last but couldn't exactly remember, there is no way I could find using Google dialer.

Thanks for app suggestion buddy.
It solved almost all of my problems.
Now I can search the way I want, can record calls, and possibly can store unlimited logs.
Thanks a ton again.

I was happy with the app but now call recording isn't working.
I have been using drupe dialer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.drupe.app&hl=en_US&gl=US) for many years to address exactly the problems that you have mentioned. You can give it a try. But here also, the inbuilt call recorder is not working with Pixel 4a. It used to work with my older Oneplus X.
