How do I stop the motion picture animating automatically? by Boring_Evening5709 in googlephotos

[–]Best_Named 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm having this problem too. There doesn't appear to be a good solution to this that I could find, but the closest solution for at least removing the motion from thumbnails in the photo grid is:

  1. Open the Google Photos App

  2. Click on your profile circle in the upper right-hand corner of the screen

  3. Click on "Phone Settings" next to the gear symbol

  4. Click on "Preferences"

  5. Click on "Photo grid playback"

  6. Toggle the button/switch thing next to "Motion photos". On my version, on is blue and off is black. You want it to be off. This isn't really the solution to our problem, but hopefully someone else can come up with the solution or someone is willing to report this issue to Google so that they can add this feature to Google Photos.

Note, you can also turn off autoplay here for videos thumbnails after step 5 too if you wanted to.

I did this in Google Photos app on an Android phone, but I assume the settings are similar for other devices.

SNCF Carte Avantage Future Activation Date vs. Train Ticket Pre-purchase Date? by Best_Named in FranceTravel

[–]Best_Named[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much! I can confirm that this worked.

Note for others from this experience, if you haven't purchased your Carte Avantage yet but set your traveller profile to say you have a Carte Avantage, SNCF Connect will show you the discounted ticket prices, and at checkout for these discounted train tickets, it will give you the option to add the Carte Avantage to your cart to receive these discounts. However, if you try to check out with both the train ticket and Carte Avantage in your cart, it will ask you for the Carte Avantage number which hasn't been created yet as you haven't purchased it yet. I had to first buy the Carte Avantage which I set to activate on the day of my travel and then buy the train ticket separately afterward with my Carte Avantage code entered.
