[Q] password protect app?

Is there an app that can generate a list of your installed apps and let you choose which ones you want to put a password on like text messages?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Yes. There are numerous apps that can be used to accomplish this. "App lock" is one. A market search should pull up a few listings.

I don't use it but App Lock works great.

MMS while connected to Wi-Fi

So, for some reason the GNex has to be connected to 3G to send or to receive MMS messages. When I'm connected to Wi-Fi, it won't automatically download, or even notify me of, an MMS message. I've had many people yell at me for not answering their messages when they send me a picture message, but really the phone just doesn't ring for them....
On my HTC Rezound, the phone would automatically turn on 3G to download the MMS, and it would notify me of the messages. Is there any way to make the Nexus do that?
I'm on CM10 (not that I would expect that to make any real difference)

I ask a question almost same as yours before and the answer i get was. U just need to enable ur data connection to receive MMS. Apparently, the nexus is not so smart to handle a simple task as sending/receiving MMS data automatically...

It is actually your provider restricting access to their MMS servers from their network only. It has nothing to do with Android or the Galaxy Nexus.

Also, if you're on WiFi what's the harm in leaving data enabled?

Nah...i mean samsung. I used two xperia phones before and never had to enable data to handle MMS. It just automatically send/receive it,like the era before smartphones...

My nexus turns on 3g automatically and downloads the MMS while I'm still connected to wifi. I see it happen daily. The gsm one has always done this.

Its weird I can send MMS(pics) while on WiFi but sounds or video won't send until I'm on 3g or 2g

My phone is less lazy. It will do MMS about 60% of the time while I'm on wifi! Been that way since 4.0.2

[Fixed] Can't get MMS to work with aftermarket apps?

I am having problems with go SMS and hand cent and crunch SMS getting able to send Mms. The stock app works fine but all the aftermarket ones can't send messages. I am on nexus4 on att. Any suggestions?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

Its an Android 4.2 issue, couldn't get Handcent or Chomp to work on my GNex either. Interesting thing I found is if I use Handcent to start a text to a group I have set up then delete Handcent and finish the MMS with the stock app I get an error like "You are not authorized for this service" this is on Straight Talk At&t. If I add each person individually with the stock app the MMS goes through.

Does the same for me on everything but the stock app.

Handcent came out with an update to fix this but it still doesn't work

Hey I got this to work today. Turns out you have to type your MMS APN settings manually into the SMS app, as I guess they no longer can access the settings themselves.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

Not sure exactly what youa re referring to in the app? Can you post a screenshot? Are you creating a seperate APN for SMS/MMS?
Thanks in advance.

Animated GIFs

Was wondering if there was a fix or way to enable the sending and receiving of animated gifs in texts for the Note II. I can download and view them in my gallery just fine but when I go to send and/or receive them I just get a still picture. I can send and receive them just fine on my EvoLTE but not on my Note. Is it something manufacturer specific to HTC phones or something that just needs to be enabled?

Thats weird I get them all the time and the move..... I send them too and they work!!!!!

What ROM are you using? I'm on NoWizAOSP and its not working for me. I'm thinking it has something to do with the stock Android MMS app that the ROM uses as opposed to Samsung's. I would try and push the Samsung app back but it doesn't support emoji.

So you think it's the MMS app? I tried Handcent and it still didn't work. I'm thinking it's the stock Android MMS.apk that is doing it.

Stock Gallery app will show animated gifs. You may need to save them first.

Yeah the gallery is fine. Its when I send or receive them in a text that the problem starts. I and the person who gets it only receives a still picture. Now I can send the same animated gif from my EvoLTE and the person gets it animated and when they send it back so do I. But when sent to and from my Note II, even to and from my LTE it doesn't work.

I also encounter the same problem and the only solution I found was to save the gif as a video and then attaching it while in goSms cause stock mms app doesn't allow large files attached. They'll receive it as a vid but at least thats something

Anyone figure it out?

How to MMS animates gifs? Everytime I try and send one no matter what the size it tells me it's to big. Didn't have this problem with my iPhone 5 or my galaxy s4 but the note 3 just refuses to send them.

Do you need to MMS for that? I would just suggest using a cloud service like dropbox and giving the recipient the url link. Or you could do it through email. I have the same issue and I found no work around for it.

It's just more convenient to send it to them. Yes there are work sons but sometimes I just want to send a quick funny meme gif and I can't. It's just annoying.

I have no problem sending MMS.

I have no problem as well but I am on the latest Darthstalker rom. Only problem I ran across is I cant just copy the gif I have to save it on my device first then attach it and it will play.
