zooming on pictures sent via text - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Is it possible? Or do I need to get a different messenger app.. if so .. suggestions?

Try tapping the picture. I'm not sure if that will work with TouchWiz, but it works with the normal Android messaging app.

Nope it doesn't zoom and let me pinch and zoom. I could download and then view.. but that is silly.

So no one has a solution or suggestion?

It only takes about 2 seconds to download the pic, not a big deal. If you don't want to keep the pic saved to your phone you can delete in 2 seconds after you look at it.

But I shouldn't have to. No other smartphone I have had made me do that.

Its a ridiculous feature built into the Touchwiz messaging app - They so need to get rid of the automatic slideshow option -Not sure why these hasnt been fixed in an update yet -

Don't get me wrong, I think it's stupid....but just not that worried about it. Maybe this will be changed in the JB/Touchwiz update....

Well you never said you knew that in your OP now did you.
After you reboot and if you go to the log and select one of your text messages or voice mail when you go back into log everything goes away except voice calls so looks like it may just be a glitch that will hopefully be fixed with a update, but maybe you know that already as well.

Something that drives me crazy is the call log. Idk if its a samsung or touchwiz thing, but I had the Epic last yr for a few months and never tried a laucher to see if it changes. Is there a way to get rid of every single call? If I were to get 7 calls in a row from the same person it shows it 7 times. Is there a way to just have it show once rather than having your call log show every calls incoming and outgoing from "Joe".

Yes you need a modded logsprovider.apk. Now that root is acheived I am sure many things will be coming soon. Hopefully CWM will be next.

[APP] Instagram out now for android

The popular iOS app is now available for our phone!
The only problem i had was that it would force close when choosing a photo from the gallery. Other than that its a great app!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instagram.android
I'm having an issue where it FC's everytime I try and take a picture
I'm having that same problem. Has anyone figured a way around it? I tried restarting my phone, but that didn't help.
another with FC
Epic touch on Mijjahs Rom and I get FC once I click on the camera icon to port a picture... lame
What you can still do to upload for the time being is go to your gallery and share the photo through instagram. It acts as a post. I think the app works fine for people with a stock phone.

Probably true, but then I would have to choose... root or instagram.... Uh thats easy I prefer ICS and there's plenty of apps with Filters.
It's also force closing for me on Calk's latest FC24 ICS rom. I haven't tried it on GB. I'll probably flash Blazer 4.1 and see if it runs.
Can anyone with a GB based ROM tell me if it's force closing for you also? It only crashes when you try and take a pic. Hmmm...

Hi, I have a question. What do you mean by sharing it through Instagram and have it acting as a post?
I went to the gallery, shared an image, selected Instagram, but it took me to the "filter-apply" screen, which is the point where it force closes.
Am I doing something wrong? I wouldn't mind editing photos in another app and just posting them on Instagram, and I understood that's kind of what you meant.

When you share it via instagram it allows you to use the filters. Atleast it did for me. I was thinking about trying to flash to FC24 to see if it did anything but I guess it's not working for you either. Hmm, anyone wanna try on a GB build?

I'm flashing Blazer 4.1 (gingerbread) right now to see if it works. Will post update in just a few minutes.
(I was reading the reviews for this app on our device in the play store and all the people who have stock e4gt say it works fine btw.)
**Update: it's working on GB. It's a little flaky still but I am able to capture pics and upload okay. So it's definitely ICS or some combination of things on ICS. I'm sure it will be working when official OTA comes out. I'm going to go back to calk's ICS for now as I don't really care enough about instagram to use GB. I've been just fine without instagram since it came out, and I'll be fine without it for a while longer.

Just a heads up, the "ultra pixel" is a type of camera. It's hardware, not software.

I know it's hardware but it was showed in portal news, someone modified another camera app to compress 8mp photos to 2mp. Same pixel count but smaller image. So that's making difference in photo quality. That's what I mean by ultra pixel

You can modify the Vignette application and it will work. Done that and tried on Nexus 4 but I sucks in telling what is a good image and what is bad so I cannot tell the different much.
The other features would be also great.

I'm not a dev, maybe someone work on it. I pushed apk to system too, as it's based on aosp, I think these features are not imposslible for us. We need to get some attraction from devs :fingers-crossed:

LG Keyboard update

I don't know if this merits a thread or not, but I figured it warranted mentioning.
I just received the LG keyboard update. There isn't a changelog readily available, but I'm assuming this is the update that learns what you type on a per-app basis, and includes whatever other changes (what are they again?).
One difference I am noticing right away is that as you "swype" now, the word(s) you're passing your thumb across automatically appear, as opposed to appearing after you've finished the word. The swyping appears to be more accurate, which was one small gripe I had before. The other thing I'm noticing that makes a HUGE difference for me is that spaces aren't always inserted when you've selected an auto-correction. It's difficult to explain but makes a big difference. I'm obsessively picky about keyboards, so I'll keep dissecting the update as I use it.
Nice update. Anyone notice anything else find something worth mentioning?
Oh, right. And now words bring up emoji. ?. I could go for some right now.
Thanks for the heads up, just updated. Could be placebo but it does indeed feel a little snappier.

I recently switched from Swype because of massive lag and bug problems. I must say the lg keyboard is just as good if not better in some respects to Swype which when working i think it's haha down the best keyboard on the market. Very impressed with lg's keyboard attempt on this phone.
