Back in October, Sprint announced the inclusion of Messaging Plus on all devices. I loaded it on my S4. I enabled it and I like the options it has. This past weekend I upgraded my wife's phone to a purple S4 and after the OTAs (MK2) she now has Messaging Plus on her phone as well. With MP, any user defined notification sounds are ignored. Also,both the stock messaging app and MP receive all messages. I have tried disabling MP, but that doesn't work for the notification sounds, nor turn off the app. Is there another place to toggle between the 2? Or, can the stock messenger be disabled/frozen? If so, will MP work like the stock version? My phone is rooted, I know that I can control my configuration. My wife's phone will be left stock.
Has anyone 'figured' this out yet? It's annoying that the MP app has taken control of the messaging capability of this phone.
You should be able to turn off Messaging plus in application manager..if it isn't in the downloaded tab look for it in the All tab..Hope this helps..

I know this has been asked on this forum many times, but has anyone ever figured out how to get pictures taken in portrait orientation to send properly in an mms message without cropping the picture? This seems to be common across the entire Android lineup, but I can't for the life of me figure out why this is so damn difficult. I've tried the stock messaging app as well as handcent and no luck. However, if I open up the picture in PicSay Pro, and export it to a text messaging app the orientation is fine. Can anyone shed some light on this or is it a lost cause?
I think it has to do with the camera software. I was having the same problem, when I sent a pic taken in portrait it would send sideways. So I flashed Liberty v1.0 Tom, and that has a camera software that rotates, and allows for sending or taking photos in portrait. If you don't need a new Rom, I'm sure there are camera apps in the market for your camera.

I'm using Apex right now, and it has the same issue. I think the problem is just with the Android camera app, but I was hoping someone had come up with a fix without having to use a third party or editing solution.
Got ya.

hello guys please lets discus improvement after updating firmware. from my side what i fell is
1. Improved music quality. before on poweramp music player at full bas it uses to give distorted sound now no such issue great quality
2. Web browser improves now.
3.little fast
COMPLAINTS
1.battery drains very fast now
2.gps accuracy is now 80 ms area
3. Some games not working
Good stuff
- better performance
- features more accessible, cleanly arranged, better notfications ( with thumbnails and all that )
Bad stuff
- The slide to adjust brightness feature is gone ( when not using auto brightness )
- I had this font call 'cool jazz' which was really good, which is gone too! any pointers to get it back?
Agree that the sound quality is a lot better than GB. (using N7 and the stock player, also xpiano sounded distorted on GB, but is fine on ICS)
USB OTG support for midi
Ctrl key on external keyboard works
Faster UI
The only bad thing for me is the kernel bug. I have a 3.5GB ubuntu image that I want to delete but am afraid to do so...

My calendar (S Planner) works fine. I don;t use the local calendar, only Google calendar.
When I first flashed LPF from LPY I couldn't create any tasks in S Planner.
I tried clearing the cache and clearing the S Planner data, but still no good.
I ended up doing a factory reset and TB restore (without restoring S Planner), and everything worked OK.
I think when I restored S Planner the first time from TB, something must have gotten messed up.
HTH,

it does feel a lot faster, but that could be cos i did a full wipe :S

well i too have anti shake feature in indian ics version
also i would like to mention ics is eating lots of ram even though very less applications are opened ram raises to 600 mb
The banding issue seems to be worse off on this ROM. The previous GB version was ok for me.
But in my case color banding issue has been approved blacks are more black.
To send/receive MMS now requires Data Packet to be enabled where there is no such issue in Gingerbread.
Default Email application is now missing the Folder combobox and is now only available through Menu.
When a Hotmail email account is added, read email even though marked as read is not reflected on Hotmail server. However email account to Microsoft Exchange Server works fine. As a note, when Hotmail account is added, it is added using Exchange Activesync protocol, thus the same as Microsoft Exchange Server account.
Device failing to go deep sleep after connecting via OTG to USB storage remains.

My SGN is LP9 and is definitely greyed out. Am I missing something
Edit: Now I know why anti-shake was greyed out, it will be selectable if ISO set to Auto ISO.

Exchange Active Sync - NOT WORKING
Please Google or someone help find a solution to this. Updated to ICS but Active Sync does not load up my emails, even tried deleting the emails and set up again but its not working.
I've reverted to POP instead and it works but its loading my OLD emails from 2008. It will take ages to load my current ones 2012 (shouldn't it be loading the NEW ones first instead of old ? weird !! )
I am running exchange with no issues, have you setup pin security? exchange will only work with that. My exchange server is 2010.
I have zero issues with my note, I am not saying I have a perfect phone, but with the programs that I use it is running perfect.
I am running stock, I used ever root when I flashed from gb using mobile Odin pro.
I used absolute system tool program to delete 25 programs that I did not need.
I have no deep sleep issues, I unplug at 8 am 12 hours later I have used the screen 3 hours plus, with brightness set at 10% I would still have 40% battery left.

I don't know if it belongs here but the 'problem' concists on an Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505.
My wife and I both have a Galaxy S4 i9505. Since recently i discovered that with the update on whatsapp that I can activate the camera on the bottom of the screen next tot the little microphone. Instead of going to the upper right corner and choose the camera app. My wife an I both use Whatsapp2date and have the latest update for the i9505 installed.
However I have the camera function but she hasn't. She had it but it disappeared. And I can't seem to find the option to activate that. Or even find it. Is it just me or what? I would like to add a screenshot but not (yet) possible. srry

Update on whatsapp camera
Today at 17:00 made picture while using WatsApp camera on keyboard. after 3 hours the camera was gone. Done nothing strange or installed anything.
Another update,
I probably found a what seems to be an explanation. In version 2.11.148 the camera app exists. In version 2.11.150 it disappeared. Just need to find out if it excists in version 2.11.148. The only curious thing is that although I reversed whatsapp in my wife's phone, the camera app doesn't show up in her phone...

So lame
So lame the non existant reply from support from whatsapp
So I was giving this app a try today, AcDisplay, but for whatever reason it refused to work on my phone, yeah I made sure to not download the discontinued version. When I click on the send test notification the display would turn on and the show the test notifications but whenever there is an actual notification, like missed call, it would not work!
I just wanted something to replicate Moto X's Active Display feature and I thought AcDisplay works but until now. I am on KitKat by the way, does this work on Lollipop?
Is it just my device? I have tried uninstalling updates and re-installing them. yet, no luck.
I have been using Moto X 2013 since Oct 2013 and this is one of the features I really like as I have my phone completely muted when I'm home.
Doesn't work for me either.

I am very disappointed that this feature is not currently working as well. I use MightyText but i was looking forward to using an official moto app.
According to Matt on the support forum, Motorola has no plans to update the app to support the Chrome extension either.

And with that, the app has become total bloat.
Yeah, I disabled it. But I guess it useful to folks that have compatible devices to use it with.
MOTO X PURE EDITION!
That bites! I was looking forward to this since it is the only Chrome texting app I can get to work at my office.
Can I ask, what exactly was / is the Moto Chrome extension you're talking about? It sounds like it could be useful. I'm at my computer a LOT and was using a Google Voice number integrated into Hangouts on the desktop but Google Voice has been quirky lately so I'm switching back to using just my cell number from now on.
I have the Moto Surround and it's nice with Connect, and I would consider the Moto 360 but that stupid flat black sensor bar at the bottom... If Huawei can do a full circle display with the same sensors the Moto 360 has... why is Motorola incapable of going with a full circle display too? Ugh.
I may be returning the phone then, I have come to like this feature on both my X1 and X2. I also don't like the fact there is no email app either, it's on x2 which is running 5.1
ERROR!
Got this in my email today:

Two Things :
1. For texting from your desktop, I'd recommend PushBullet (https://www.pushbullet.com/). Android app, Chrome extension, does what you want it to do and more. I did hte same thing with Hangout / Google Voice but Voice just has so many quirks (esp iwth MMS and group messages) that it was untenable.
2. The Huwai watch does NOT have all the sensors that the 360 has -- in particular, no ambient light sensor. I notice the flat tire precisely zero percent of the time i'm using my watch. (I notice the ****ty battery life quite a bit, tho... )

Yeah but I cannot get pushbullet to be reliable for sending text. Sometimes when sending a new text it just sits there "sending..." then the message just disappears as if I never typed it. I am ok because Verizon has a desktop app that allows the texting from my PCs and it is a really good program. I am disappointed that Moto is spamming me with this feature from my phone (see my previous post), yet it is not there at all.
Got the same email and the same empty feeling when I tried to connect. And for the next person that says; "just use pushbullet". I would if I could, but it doesn't work at my office and this one has in the past, that is why I am on this thread.
Ah, sorry, didn't know people had issues with PushBullet.
If Motorola updates their Connect App to support the Moto X Pure, that'll be a nice solution for all of us without having to go 3rd party and possibly deal with additional battery draining.
Pushbullet is working ok for me.
