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

I've tried both the stock app and go sms pro to send animated GIF's via MMS. My friend couldn't get it to work on his S3 either. When I select the image and view it before sending the image/GIF will be fully animated. Once it has sent though if I click to view the sent image or the recipient views it after receiving the MMS the image is now only 1 frame...no animation. Has anyone had any success in sending animated GIF's via MMS?

So... I appreciate the many responses for this minor function... A follow up question...should I trade this non sending animated GIF paper weight in for the all new innovative iPhone 5?

It's funny, you post a question, get no support. It only takes a few words to get the mindless trolls out though
I know there was a thread on this before, but for some reason I can't find it. Currently I'm using Frosty JB V1 and I know it's not the rom issue it's a general issue.
When I receive MMS from people it shows the picture like it's a video but it's obviously just a picture. Can someone direct me to the thread that has the resolution for this?
Thanks!

Correct. It's how the stock app works for whatever reason. Go SMS doesn't have that issue.
I'm sick of using Samsung's built in message app. It's max mms file size limitation and mms slideshow viewer are as irritating as can be.
I have tried GO SMSPro and looked into Handcent SMS, but both apps seem to be bloated with unnecessary "features" such as theming, and stores. I just want a basic stock(ish) experience. I have downloaded Cyanogen mod and Xperia mms apps and attempted to rename, replace and set permissions to no avail. It seems as if android doesn't recognize them at all.
I finally did find the stock android messaging app in a thread dedicated to the Note 2, but it seems a little... too basic for my tastes.
Any help would be appreciated.

Which carrier are you on? Because if it's att you are limited to 600kb. You could set the mms file limit size to 1 gig if you wanted but you are still limited by what the network will allow to pass through.. I haven't found a way to bypass the network limitations either pal

And as for the mms viewer, you're pretty much SOL unless you use an aftermarket sms/mms app

I feel the same way you do, I've tried so many but nothing to my liking. The Cyanogenmod mms.apk is the best but when I installed that over the stock one everything worked but it would crash trying to send a pic.
I've found one that isn't too bad, it's clean, small and fast. Try out Textra, you might like it.

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.

That one won't even start at all for me on Wicked. It's no biggie, I never use hangouts anyway, I was just curious.
Seems like we will need to wait till some fix is done or till Google officially will update the app for everyone

I'm thinking, it's missing a link to another app. Like it's looking for default sms, not actually having sms functionality itself. I saw a thread somewhere that had 4.4 apk pull from the Nexus. See if somebody can find the 4.4 SMS see if it installs then try again.

The default sms app is hangouts. Look at the system dump of the nexus 5, no native sms app but hangouts.

That doesn't sound right. Not like google to "force you to use" an app.
If that so, then my theory is shot.

Hangouts is pretty much imessage but multiplatform, also kit kat has a new feature where you can get another sms app and make it the default one of you'd like. So it's giving you more freedom if anything.
