Play mms message from iPhone - Nokia Lumia 900

Today I got a 3gp video mms from my wife who has an iPhone 4s. When I try to play it I only hear audio. The video does not play. Anyone else have this issue. Shouldn't WP be able to play those videos?

That's odd, I've had people send me videos they have taken on iPhones and I haven't had any trouble viewing them. Are they sending them to you from the same network like AT&T? I don't know why that would be an issue but that's all I could think of.

Yeh same network. I'll have her try sending it to just me. She sent it to multiple people earlier.

Very odd, A friend of mine sent me and 3 other recipients a video from his iPhone and it is a 3gp file and I played it just fine.
I would double check with AT&T that your plan is provisioned properly for your phone.

Well I took it into the store yesterday to get it switched over to the right data plan for the LTE. I can get other picture messages just fine. Gonna test some more and see what happens. Glad to know others can get videos from iPhones just fine though, at least lets me know it should work.

I don't know why, but I've had some videos from iPhones that I could not see either, just hear. I'll have to think back to who they were so I can try to find a pattern. My wife's 4s worked yesterday, but I believe my daughters 4 does not.
EDIT: I wonder if it has to do with how the video was made. ie: sent from within the text app, or pulled from the gallery...

^^^You never know, it could be something strange like that.

I'll do some tests with my wife's phone and see if it makes a difference.

Yeah you would think Verizon would make their flagship app work with their flagship phone. But hey, at least they didn't screw up the release date of the 15th...
The NFL Mobile app doesn't work on the G-Nex? What the hell am I paying $10 a month for?
My 3 week old RAZR is sitting on eBay and it does something very important that the G-Nex doesn't. This is sad news.
Well at least my wife has a RAZR. I can watch it on hers.
I agree. This really pisses me off. I work out of town all the time and cant catch up on my NFL. I'm going to reactivate my Bionic and maybe return the Nexus if they don't resolve this quick. There are a bunch off apps that don't run or constantly crash. Verizon visual voicemail keeps crashing in the background also.
VZW states it is a 3rd party app

@calKno This is a third-party application and we do not have an ETA of when it will be available on Nexus. ^LA

The app has certain approved devices that work with it.

I never used it for the video, just the stats and to keep up with the game when I can't watch or listen to it.

I guess it is a VZW "sponsored" app, so they limit to their phones and dropped the ball in having the developers prep it for SGN or ICS.

It's my understanding that -all- 4G phones, of which the G-Nex is included, are supposed to be able to use NFL Mobile for free. FWIW.
Yes....this is ridiculous. I was looking forward to streaming highlights and video. Now I can't even are a flipping score?
Several other apps not working as well.
I still love this thing though.

I'm from the Netherlands and a great NFL fan.
all my NFL apps are working fine on the GNex.

NFL app (this one lets you view scores and highlights and news and such)
so is there a different app you're trying to use?
ps: all apps from NFL enterprises.
The APP we use in the states lets us watch the games live, We get full covereage of the NFL network games (thursday,saturday,sunday,monday night games) and for the bulk of them we use Red Zone to let us watch all the good plays while they happen.
Any chance of being able to maybe.... tinker.... with the ini? maybe trick it into thinking that its something different or maybe its just an issue of screen size again. Similar to swypes issue?

The same as game pass mobile
Only i pay a lot less since i life outside of the usa
It is a bummer that this doesn't work, but there seems to be a little self-contradiction here - a lot of complaints that Verizon GNex isn't a stock google phone, and then more complaints that they didn't do more to change the phone so that it would work with Verizon sponsored apps.

pop up play for HOX

Is there any such mod for the one X which is comparable to the "pop up play" feature in the SGS3?
This might be a deal breaker for me because i often watch a lot of video on the go to pass the time while travelling, i would like to be able to do other things whilst watching the video at the same time.
Maybe something for devs to work on if they havnt already done it?

Just like IPhone, Samsung Copies it and now everyone thinks It's revolutionary.
It's Nothing new, I've been using it for the last 6 months.
Overskreen- A pop up Browser that you can on top of the screen.
Stick It- A pop up video player which you can use on top of the Screen, And It's much better than Samsung's Pop up play, as you can use it with any media and as many videos at once as you like.

When did i say it was revolutionary? I just liked the idea of being able to watch video and browse the web at the same time. I had never heard of the app because i never activley sought after something like that, when it was announced at the SGS3 event i thought hmm what a great idea, i wonder if anyone else has already done this. Hence the opening line in my OP dumbass

I don't believe Tommy was having a dig at you? Maybe you're a bit naive or you have a paranoia issue? But calling him a dumbass after just informing you on where the idea came from seems pretty "dumbass" to me.

[Q] Trouble Receiving Text Messages From Friends W/ iPhones

Hello,
My wife has an iPhone 4 on AT&T and I of course have an S3 on T-Mo. I also have another friend with an iPhone 4 on Verizon and I cannot for the life of me figure out why I cannot get texts from them. I can easily get texts from everyone else BUT them iPhone. Is there an issue with my phone? I've tried Googling the answer, and I'll I'm reading is responses like "That is Apple for you." but can I get a technical response or an idea of what I can do to remedy the situation?
Thanks all! :good:
GS3 dont play well with iphones. Everytime an iphone user sends me a MMS all i get is tiny thumbnail. seems the sms/mms issue has been discussed here but i havent had a real answer yet :/
I get pix from iPhone users daily with no problem.... I've gotten over a hundred MMS and over 6000 texts from people with iPhones over the last month or so... not sure what to tell you.
Tell them to get an android.. duh
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
First off, that's gonna be hard to pinpoint. Why? Because a text is a text unless the iPhone is doing some sort of encoding magic that the Galaxy S3 somehow rejects but that shouldn't be the case because if it was, it would be an android issue. And at the end of the day, texting between the Galaxy S3 and iPhone work just fine because I have friends with iPhones and I received their texts without any issues. So it has to be something to do with your specific phone.
Have you tried putting your SIM card to different phone and seeing if you get the texts then? And also have you tried someone else's SIM card in your phone/just going and getting a new SIM from T-Mobile?

Hey all, thanks for the pointers. I'll check my SIM today. I do have a backup micro SIM actually!
If you had an IPhone as well before you could be linked to Apple ID. If that's the case when iPhone sends you message it detects its linked to ID and your Galaxy will never get it. Hope that sends you in right direction to solve it.

This is a good point. I had my email linked to iMessage and someone with an iPhone texted my email address and instead of going to my email inbox it showed up on my iPad. Not sure how it works with your phone number though.

I actually DID have an iPhone 4 before switching back to the Android platform. Let me look into the Apple ID situation and I'll report back! Thanks! :good:
Well I fixed my phone. It WAS related to the Apple ID. Like I said, I had an iPhone before the S3 and when I had the iPhone on and left on Wi-Fi people's iMessage was pointing their texts to that phone. I wiped the phone (as I'm about to sell it) and that fixed the problem.
Thanks again for the insight people.

The picture will be oriented based on the way the phone was when it was captured. That info is encoded in the image and certain sites and apps use it.

I don't think it will get fixed anytime soon. I have had the same picture orientation issue on all my Samsung phones, s2, s4, and now the Note 4. Seems to work good on Samsung apps, stock TW roms, other apps, phones appear to interpret the picture orientation data embedded in the file wrong. Proprietary crap, on my older bose headset made for iPhone, the earbud volume buttons won't work either... They're wired differently.
If this is ongoing issue, will be my first and last Samsung phone! I take lots of pictures of my 4 year old , 2 year old and 6 month old. Everyone texting me that pictures are sideways.

If your recipient has an android just tell them to rotate the picture lol. That's the beauty of android you can rotate pictures whatever way you want in the gallery. I highly doubt crapple phones will do that.

Cannot receive text messages from iPhone users using iMessage.

First thing you need to know is that I've never owned an Apple device. I've been having this issue ever since Apple upgraded to iOS 6 & 7. My girlfriend and some of my friends are iPhone users, and sometimes they send me messages but I receive them late or even never receive them at all. Sometimes I get their text that got mixed with a text that they sent sometime before (even from convos that are days or weeks old) in the SAME message (WTF?). I event get spammed by the same message 5+ times, example http://i.imgur.com/ij8GtPu.jpg which is annoying and ridiculous!
Ive searched the web and did not find a single solution, only thousands of people complaining with no fix. The only solution to this is to use another chat app with the other person, which is really hard to convince someone to do that. Especially Apple fanboys and fangirls like my GF. I suggested Whatsapp or Hangouts and even suggested her to disable iMessage (there's a feature that lets you disable the iMessage feature so the iMessage app only sends SMS to the users) which my GF denied also. -_-
TLDR: I don't get texts and people wait for me to respond and think that I'm ignoring them or I get spammed. How to fix pls?
Edit #1: I've never been an Apple user so "disconnecting" my number from iMessage by sending a "STOP" text to 48369 probably wont help. BUT I did try it today and we'll see if that works lol...
Edit #2: Oh the irony... http://i.imgur.com/7gmUN54.png
Edit #3: My phone is stock. Never did any modding.
IMO, not much can be done on Android side but I remember reading a great article about this issue.

I would maybe call Apple support. Even though you don't have an apple device it seems their system thinks that your number is register for imessage.
