When I receive a message with a photo attachment, It appears as a video that want's to play (with the play arrow etc. at the bottom)
Do I have the wrong settings?
Thanks anyone.

Does anyone have a problem uploading a photo for a contact? Mine does not work - when I select a photo during contact edit, it does not upload. I then launch Gallery and select the photo to "Set as" a contact photo. The device screen goes black for a few seconds and then crashes with the message "Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped". Eventually, I had to use another device running Android 4.2 to load the photo for a contact.
Ever since the 4.3 update, trying to text a picture with the stock messaging app gives me an error to "Select a Different Media" and will not attach the picture. This happens only with downloaded images. Camera pictures and screen shots are fine. This never happened before as I to long press and download a picture from the browser and text it all the time. Downloading and sending gifs like this work too, for some reason. It's only regular images that won't attach.
Am I doing something wrong?
Normally I select image in the gallery, tap share, tap messaging app, search contact, tap send.
With Hangout additionally I have to choose account, tap new message. Process becomes longer.
Is there a faster way with hangout to share a multimedia message?

Yeah, just send a regular hangouts message... its just the same as an instant message. All your recipient needs is a Google account, and as such, you need their Gmail address
Hey everyone. I have an annoying issue that has reoccurred multiple times now. I've used a workaround of just manually adding my picture to it before.
In my Galaxy S5, the "My Info" local profile shows the standard avatar, and only my phone number. I previously manually added my own picture, just so I would see my own picture in the messaging app.
Is there a way to link the local contact with my Google+/Facebook/Gmail picture? I have a contact entry for my own info under "Me" that I manually entered in Gmail years ago.
Just to clarify, this is the contact entry that appears to be locally saved on the phone, undeletable, and the contact picture of that entry shows as your picture in the messaging app.
There are so many glitches to my phone after this recent update I cannot even begin to list them, but the current one bugging me is when I save a pic I get in an email, for instance. the "download manager" downloads it, and it shows up in my notification bar as being complete, but it is not in my gallery, like it used to be. It is nowhere. If I click on the pic in my notification bar it will open it, but there aren't any options. Pressing and holding, double-tapping, etc do nothing (except magnifying the pic).
My email program (Yahoo) doesn't have an option to choose where my phone downloads the pic. This was not a problem prior to this update, and pics I would save off the internet or from my email would go to a "downloads" folder in the gallery.
When I search on the phone for "download manager" to find a folder or something where all these pics reside, the phone tells me no such thing exists, lol
I appreciate any help!
