Downloading gifs samsung s9

I've had this phone for 15 months with no problems. The past few days pictures will not download in text messages. I have searched and tried everything I have found to no avail. Hello, jchriste65 ,. Thank you for reaching out on MMS. We'd love to help with this. Do you have Advanced Messaging enabled on your Galaxy S9? With Advanced Messaging on, you should be able to share files up to 10MB.

I get "Failed to download attachment from multimedia message. Try again later" I have intermittent problems with my messages but this is getting ridiculous. I see so many posts from people with the same problem and no answers. We need a permanent fix. This is the exact problem I have been having, with only ONE of my contacts - where every time she sends me a photo it is a gray box that says download paused, and when I try to download it won't.

And only gives me the option to delete and not forward or anything else! After searching online at multiple sources and trying all sorts of things, I came across your post just now, turned my wi fi off, and voila! Her most recent photo downloaded with still a minor gray stripe down the side and the rest of her photos from days ago say "download expired".

But now I know I have to turn off wi fi to view her photos. And only hers for some reason - no problem with any one else's. Yup turning off Wifi does fix this issue, but for those of us without unlimited data it's not such a great deal. View other replies. I've been having this problems for at least 5 months. The only thing I've found that fixes it is restarting the phone. However, that is not working today.

I don't have unlimited. I am not factory resetting my phone. Pretty clear that the last security update broke MMS image downloading over Wifi. Did something in my system get unchecked or deleted in my system update?

Go to Solution. In Case others have this issue. I was on a call with tech support for well over an hour trying to resolve this issue. Restore apps to default settings will clear this issue. View solution in context. Can you be more specific on how to do that? Is it global, restoring ALL apps to default settings? Where do you go for that? From there, tap on the three-dot menu button in the top right corner and select My Apps.

And lastly, hit the Update button, locate the Always-on Display option, and choose its update button. With the update successfully installed, you will have a handful of GIFs made available to you directly from Samsung. If you want to use your own GIF, you just need to have the image file saved to your handset. The idea of rooting your phone can seem daunting. Even with the almost foolproof and tested methods, just the slightest chance of turning your phone….

The others loop once and freeze. What do I do about that? My phone is a motorola e5 plus android 8. When I send or receive a GIF, it plays the animation as the smaller message in the thread but when I click on it it freezes and just show a still image.

This just started happening and I have cleared my phone cache still does not work. I have a Motorola Moto smartphone.

Two others get stuck and never completely download, and I have to waste time clearing out the file i. What causes the GIF to just not download? Hi my name is Linda I have an LG v Enable to send out the GIF to my girlfriend. Updated to android 9, using mood for messaging app, can no longer use the gif function in the app, says connection problem.

Phone is a lg thinq7 on Sprint. Thanks in advance Tim. Hi Tim P, We are sorry to hear that the gif function is not working in your messaging app. Did you try out the fixes in this article? I am having problems on my Pinterest app showing Gifs. It does not show it takes some time before it starts moving.
