Issue sending Video MMS to iPhone

Hi,
I have seen this issue in other forums with other devices, but I thought I'd mention it here.
My Girlfriend has an iPhone 4s. I have a Galaxy Nexus (GSM). When I send her a video MMS, she never receives it. Other users seem to be able to receive them fine. After doing some testing, it appears that she can receive them if I use GoSMS or Handcent from the Android Market, but it will never work with the stock app.
I'm assuming this is some kind of compatibility issue on the iPhone end? The stock SMS app encodes the video in some format the iPhone can't recognize? This is kind of an annoying issue. While I have found a workaround, I kind of like the stock SMS app on the Nexus and I just hate it when stuff doesn't work.

I'm gonna say an issue with the iPhone. I was at a party recently & about 6 of my friends (no iPhone) were complaining that my other friend (iPhone user) would answer them back super late or not at all. Turns out she wasn't getting their messages or getting them really late, or getting duplicates when she finally did receive them... (no issues between non-iphone users)

Okay, as an update, I don't think we can blame the iPhone. I just tried to send a video mms to a friend who has a MyTouch 4g running Cyanogenmod and he doesn't receive it either.
So, the messaging app is formatting videos in some way that isn't supported by other phones? Anyone else having this issue with the Galaxy Nexus?

Nope, I send my girl a MMS video when I was on 4.0.1 and it worked on her SGSII.

That's Samsung to Samsung. I'm not at all surprised it would work, even if it's some proprietary format that the phone is recording the video in for MMS messages.

ive sent MMS to my fiance and her thunderbolt no problem.
i remember hearing about that you had to change something in iOS so it would not use some apple application to send/receive texts/mms

You're probably thinking of iMessage. That is disabled on her phone. I don't know what else it could be. I even created a new MMS APN to test it and it's still not working in the stock app.

I have no issues sending mms to my girlfriends iphone 4s .
I did initially simply because I also had an iphone at one point and I message was getting confused . But once she turned that off ..sent me a pic and turned I message back on ..everything was good to go .
I have had no issues on any rom I have tried.

I can do pics just fine. It's video. If I click the attachment icon and select video and then "record video", she never receives it, nor does my co-worker running Cyanogenmod on his MyTouch 4G. It seems like it's a file format compatibility issue. Whatever format Handcent uses for the same function works fine, although the video is flipped when the iPhone receives it.

Mm that explains a lot I thought it was a att or sprint thing that you couldn't receive MMS from some android phones. It happened to my 4S when a friend send some pics but when I switch phones. They re send that pictures and it work... the sucks tho. My wife might not get my MMS sometimes then

Yeah, sorry about that. It was pretty disappointing to me, as well. The good news is that we can still send video mms if we use Handcent, ChompSMS, or GoSMS. And if it makes you feel better, Windows Phone 7 STILL can't send videos that way.
I'd still like to know what the problem is. I reported it to Samsung and got a generic "talk to AT&T" response. AT&T is NOT the problem here.

Actually ..I have a wp7 trophy ..the recent tango update brought mms with it thank god ... so we really do just suck . I HATE using 3rd party SMS apps .
I'm going to dig a little deeper and see if I can find a work around or maybe even a fix

Well I updated my radio and bootloader last night to the official 4.0. 4 and the test videos I sent to my girlfriend days ago were pushed through to her at like 3am.
So she told me a out it this morning.. I went ahead and sent a new video and she got it no problem.
That seems to have fixed that issue... As well as data and voice signal drops

Want to know what's ironic? My girlfriend received the videos I sent her several days ago at 2 am this morning, as well. I haven't changed anything on my phone. I wonder if AT&T did something to their system on the backend. I'm going to do some more testing?

That's crazy man Haha

Confirmed. Tested it this morning and she now receives them right away (though the video orientation is always flipped if I record it in portrait). Looks like AT&T did something and it's working from the stock app now.
Weird coincidence, huh? Maybe your update fixed AT&T's delivery system!

VOIP

Has anyone had any success using Groove IP in conjunction with Google Voice to substitute the lack of wifi calling availability with CM9 or any other AOSP ROMs and if so, how was the quality of the calls?
Looking for ideas, any suggestions are appreciated.

Not using GrooveIP but I used the built-in SIP to connect to my Callcentric VOIP account and it works perfectly.

I did that when I had my nexus s.. it will work but grooveip always has a call delay.. it gets quite annoying.

I use groove as well. And yes I have the delay but is it groove or is it Google voices servers?

I have been useing groove IP for a little over a year now, only when im poor and can't afford my obscenely high att bill. Have experienced no problems on ICS AOKP milestone 6 w/siyah kernal.

Its groove having the delay. Google voice just transfers the calls between services.

Hmm It's primarily because when I go to the coast to visit my Mom, her hurricane proof house with nearly bullet-proof windows and plaster/block walls seem to give me little or no signal, in the past I've just used the wifi-calling on T-Mobile based ROMs. I'm loving CM9 and gave GrooveIP a try today with Gvoice and it seemed to work great. It's only for a few hours a day each week but it always seems to be right when I have a critically important call come through and it drops, over and over without the wifi calling
Thanks for the suggestions I'll stick with this and see how reliable it is..

No problem. To recap the thread.
You can't have two devices on whatsapp with same number.
You can have nexus 7 registered with a different number. Google voice for example. There's instructions in that thread about it.

Yea that would be great. I managed to get my tablet on same number as my phone but whatsapp would kick me off whenever I picked up the other and vice versa. It would ask me to verify every time.

I used TitaniumBackup to backup the app and data and restored it on my Nexus. It works for the most part, although occasionally ill get messages on my phone and not my tablet.

At the moment that isn't possible. When you use your nexus 7, the messages will go to that device until you decide to use your phone and the other way around. All the conversations you had on either device won't be synced to the other.

What does it say when you visit

alternatively, you can install it by downloading the APK (search for it on xda)

It's not officially available in the UK yet.

You're not missing much. It works occasionally at best here in the US. For every time it works, I get five errors that it sees the pad, but something went wrong and to have the cashier start over.

Note 8 lte phone apps?

I'm with at&t and am going to get the note 8 lte, which are the best apps to make phone calls,and also a video call?
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda premium

I heard that the at&t n5120 cant make phone call simply by putting in a sim. Can your note make phone calls the same way your phone works without using any app ? If no then the only app that works for me and free is viber. Gg talk was good but now it is dead

The i467 does not have the phone software, you are correct.
I use GrooveIP for voice over Google Voice and Hangouts for the rest.

happy to see someone using dell streak now...
Dell streak 5 was an amazing device.... Very poorly marketed... Dell would have been in a different part of the economics had they done a good job...

Yes,that's what me and my brother have always thought,Dell had it right before anyone else,now everyone is making the same size,they didn't advertise it,so no one knew about it. Its still a great phone,I've had mine for 2 1/2 yrs.,I wish Dell would have made the streak 2,opus 1?. I haven't upgraded in 8 months because there hasn't been anything I've wanted alot more yet.I'm still on Froyo and would like to move up to Jelly Bean though: ),I will get the note 8,and still looking at phones,note 3,z ultra,...ect. . . I like the Lenovo k900,but don't know if that would work with at&t.

Dialer App?
I have a ATT Galaxy Note 8 with a wireless data plan. It clearly has a micro-SIM and a LTE modem.
Really, all I think it needs is the actual Dialer app. Which leads me to the question: how would I install it?
I know that in some european markets the Note 8 has phone capabilities... would it be simpler to flash a euro image onto it?

If you are getting the Note 8 with the intention of using it as your primary phone, I'll chime in and say I haven't been happy with the quality of VoIP on AT&T's HSPA network. Your results may be better with LTE, but I think there is something about AT&T's network that makes it less suitable for VoIP than Verizon. I don't know for sure, I'm speculating based on what I've experienced.

I used groove ip, and made a phone call and it sounded great!! It was real clear, now im just going through google voice settings trying to receive calls, I'm using Talkatone too, in google voice you have a different number that people see when you call, it says you can port-use your cell number, but it cost $20 to do it, which I think I'm going to end up doing, just still trying to receive calls, it says to click on make a new number in google voice, then make sure forward calls is checked,...I think I'll get the receiving calls working soon: )..also the sending text are working!

What a big let down, you can imagine I just got it today (Note 8.0 LTE) the whole time I thought this is one big phone/tablet that will let me use it as a phone because of the SIM card slot and 4g and LTE abilities!! Only to find out that only international version can make calls!! WTF!! Hope to try your ways otherwise I am hoping someone will come up with a rom that enable this feature for good!

It'll work as a phone great, I just called my Dad today and had him call me back on talkatone, and it sounds great, also groove ip too, just get the app, then go on your computer to google voice and get a google voice number, it let's you scan through a bunch, just pick one and follow the steps, it sounds better than using my cell phone on speaker!

Why not just return it and buy the N5100? VoIP calling works well over a strong signal, but is LTE really worth it when a phone version is available?
