[Q] Hangouts MMS not working

The 12/10 hangout app still won't send MMS messages. I'm on Sprint, not rooted. Anyone else still having this issue?
It's love to use hangouts for all my messages, but I get no love from Google.

Yes, share more. Am I supposed to do something with it?
Also, it sometimes switches from Wi-Fi to 3g when I try to send an mms. I have no idea why. Stock messaging app works fine.

Open app as archive, go into res, xml, delete apns.xml, reinstall. Works for me on Verizon. Full MMS/ group. Damn Hangouts and its custom xml.
It is in /data.

I hate to be dense, but how do I open it as archive?
Sent from my Sprint LG G2.

Z archive through a file explorer

The issue is with app not the phone and BTW it was fixed in latest update.

It's actually not fixed on Sprint with the latest update. MMS doesn't work still and you can't change apn within the app itself.

Navigated to it but do not show apns.xml in the res folder. Am I missing something?

Xml folder after res

I don't know what 'open app as archive' means. Please give some details for the n00b.
I'm not rooted, if that matters.

zArchive (Google play free) can open apks as "folders". Root doesn't matter if you get the apk link and edit before install. Overwrite.

Thanks. I did it, but still no go on Sprint. That just causes it to force close.
Sent from my Sprint LG G2.

Same with the last guy. No idea. :/

And still no go for mms on 12/12 update. Come on Google, you have got to be kidding me. I can download 10 apps from the play store in 1 minute that can do this.

Had anyone been able to get this to work on Sprint?

Anyone else use Picasa web albums?

On my gs3 in the gallery app it would have all my Picasa albums separated. Now on my gs5 all the pictures are showing in one big group. I'm guessing it's a bug or something but not sure if anyone else uses this and wanted to know if there's any way to change it. I spoke with Samsung and the told me "that software is written by Google", so obviously they are of no help and don't know what they're talking about.

I know picasa is from Google, but the gallery app is obviously written by samsung.
I don't use it for sharing or tagging, I just use it a free cloud for my pictures that integrates right into the gallery app.
If anyone knows of a similar service that works the same or better I'd definitely be willing to switch.

Yes, the gallery app in the s5 doesn't separate the picasa albums, it just puts all the pictures in one group.

Its "Photos"

They want you to use the Google Photos app...I asked the same question right after launch and got this response here...this apk has worked great for me...
The camera still uses "photos" when you swipe right to see your pics...but at least you will have Moto's gallery as well

That's a great question. Is the gallery app named above any good. I'm coming from a Samsung gs6 and this is my first Moto. Don't like the Google photos thing.

The apps are blocked. You can't install them at all I've tried. Unless someone makes a modification to the app or device OS sprint users will be sol. I also want the stock music, gallery and email from lg. I got ten bucks towards a pot if any of you would like to start a small bounty.

Hmm there might be a way around that. I was also looking to get the email app eventually. But i ran into a similar issue way back on a older device. I just need to find the apk.

There is a possibility that all of you have already tried this but... I could do a backup of the apk and post it. Then download it and see whether they work with your variant or not. (i mean, it worth a try, right? Let me know.

One is the music app and the other is the widget i believe. These ones are from T-mobile's variant, Nevertheless, it is worth a try

Let me try another method. And then im going to zip it. it would be less susceptible to get corrupted that way

Here The files zipped
There. If they dont work, then chances are carriers are becoming even more b**chier than they already are.
in the zipped file you will find: Music, music widget, and email app

Same issue all corrupted

Alright. I checked all the files on my pc using some tools to check for corruption and they pass the test. Which means that,,,, Your carriers are being b**chy. Perhaps the signatures of the apps are different, that's why it takes it as corrupted files. Then again, im barely starting to learn programming and all that, but i have been digging around on XDA since 2014 LOL. Anyway people, I WISH YOU THE BEST LUCK TO FIND THE WAY TO GET WHAT YOU WANT! :good:

Yes I did all of this day one. I quickly realized that the carriers hands were all up in it. Hopefully there will be a way eventually to get the stock apps.

By the way, have you noticed that no matter how you do the back up of the app, there is always a file with a format (systag)? that never happened to me with samsung galaxy s or notes devices. Then again, that file is only showing the apkpath as if it were presenting the file.

I believe the issue is happening because you can't sideload the apps, maybe placing them in system/app but for that we need root.
I may be wrong..

Ive tried several different ways. Even using an app to restore it.. Its a no go. Maybe because its a tmobile app and they use some kind of special security code that prevents other varients. But kbrn post above might be right... Might need to go in the system/ and require root...

same issue and im on att. kind of funny since this phone is marketed toward the audiophiles. play music does decently though

You'll probably have the same result, but here's 3 music APKs from my rooted T-Mobile V20.

If someone could get the gallery to work I imagine it's possible for the music app as well... I hope.

Want to see this work.. .I loved th LG music player back in the day and dont like play music so much

Can you tell me where in the device the file is stored? I checked system/app but do not see the music app. I do have it installed. I am on Verizon.

S8 camera app

So the S8 camera app installs on the S7 edge, but it crashes every time you try to take a picture.
Anyone get it working right, or have an easy way to go back to the S7e camera app.

To go back just go into app info for the camera and uninstall updates

Thanks yeah I figured it out shortly after. Just as an FYI So far all of the S8 apps are working except the camera app and the phone app.
Also I recommend the gallery app it loads the thumbnail of pictures WAY faster.

The Bluetooth app crashes too

Bixby will load and not crash, but it doesn't have full functionality just gives you the cards off the homescreen. Voice search is not working. Although there are people working on that and there has been some progress made.

The Camera APK is working? It loaded fine for me and worked for a bit but it would crash when trying to do certain functions so I reverted back to the stock camera.

I'm not even sure what the new camera offers over the S7E nougat camera?
