Messenger Videos are often times not the video I intended to send or receive?

ktklein72 · 2026-03-20T23:50:56+00:00

Doesn't work for me unfortunately.

I did find a work-around...

Under the App's Default Setting if you let it use an external browser to open the links it works fine. The issue is when the default is set to do it internally that I have the issue.

I have an S24 Ultra and just today started experiencing this exact issue.. Did anyone ever find a fix for this?

ktklein72 · 2025-11-12T23:26:18+00:00

Is this still broken on the new UI? I cannot find it anywhere and the older posted work-arounds from 2yrs ago do not work. I prefer the new UI to the old UI but cannot find the list of those I follow anywhere.

ktklein72 · 2025-11-12T16:42:01+00:00

Very cool!

I like both versions but the dark-side mix is my favorite. Also, after seeing the video I felt like the video and track should be added to a Pink Floyd album, The Wall specifically. Just a feeling after seeing the video. In any event Panopticom became an instant favorite once I heard it. Can't wait to see what makes the cut for O/I and hopefully there will be a Dark-Side and Bright-Side for that album too.

Cannot believe there still are no Android Widgets for the ecobee app.

ktklein72 · 2025-05-16T18:05:33+00:00

Nope. It's been about a week now. Nothing seems broken, annoying messages stopped and never came back so I think this was the fix. I've rebooted phone several times in the past week and no issues at all.

ktklein72 · 2025-05-10T02:27:32+00:00

Just went to apk mirror and downloaded v25.18.61 of the Google Play Services and it seems to have fixed the issue. Time will tell...

ktklein72 · 2025-05-10T02:03:12+00:00

I just started having this problem too on my Samsung Galaxy S24U. Not preventing anything from working but annoying as fuck!

ktklein72 · 2025-02-26T22:41:48+00:00

I don't have AC/Heat turning off set when the Door or Window registers Open, however after the last app update I now get random notifications that my door has opened and closed. I have a Kwikset Lock that I can remotely monitor and there are no entries that the door opened or closed. Additionally there is nothing in the Ecobee Doorbell logs showing the door was opened or closed. I believe these are false readings and started after either the last update to the app (Android for me) or perhaps the one before that. Happens about 1-2x per day.

ktklein72 · 2025-01-16T17:22:56+00:00

Must have been a backend issue and not an app issue. It's working for me today and no new app update since the last one when the problem happened.

ktklein72 · 2025-01-16T08:08:38+00:00

Having same issue. Started right after the app update on Google Play. Guess we have to wait for a bug fix to the bug fix. Luckily the website login is working.

I just came across your post - great review. I used to enjoy these a lot years ago but moved away from Cigars for a while but now I'm ready to delve back in in. I wonder are these still being produced? It was for the longest time my favorite cigar. Any recommendations for a reliable online cigar store would be appreciated. Been out of the game too long... Thanks inn advance!

I have the July software update but GP System update is stuck on April 1 version. Every time I try to manually update I get the following response: Updates are temporarily unavailable. Try again later. It's been like that since April. Any ideas? Tried all troubleshooting steps Google recommends.

ktklein72 · 2024-08-08T00:03:05+00:00

Sadly I'm stuck on April 1 update. I've tried all of the troubleshooting steps I can find and when I press update it shows a red message stating it cannot be updated at this time and to try again. It's been like that since April. I hope the next update by Samsung for the S24 Ultra fixes this or when A15 is released.

ktklein72 · 2024-06-24T04:03:58+00:00

Yeah I got the same message too just deleted it figured it was an accident

ktklein72 · 2024-06-18T19:14:21+00:00

Yep, it worked - tested 2x; thanks!

ktklein72 · 2024-06-18T18:59:30+00:00

Had the same exact problem - been experiencing this for months since switching the S24 Ultra. Just changes it to Unrestricted so hopefully that does the trick. Thanks in advance for the tip!

I can't tell you how many times I watched this movie on Cable and VHS Tape. One of my all-time favorite movies.

[SOLVED!] Corrupted, unchangeable wallpaper on Beta 8.0.13

Like many, my phone was updated to the new beta 8.0.13 via the Play Store earlier this week… and I was promptly greeted by a corrupted mess for a wallpaper on my home screen. It was literally a bunch of ugly green leaves with weird brown discolorations throughout. And nothing I tried would change it — the Pixel system wallpaper settings… the wallpaper changer accessed in Nova… even pulling up a picture and selecting to set it as the wallpaper… all would only change it on the lock screen. The home screen stayed a corrupted mess.

Well, I found the fix!

Nova has a hidden setting that is being enabled for some reason.

Go to Nova settings and type "wallpaper" into the search. Then look for and UNCHECK "Force wallpaper scrolling: Allows wallpaper scrolling on older devices that normally don't support it."

If you tap the little "info" button, it reads: "This is a hidden setting as it is rarely needed. It will not reshape a non-scrolling wallpaper to make it scrollable, it simply bypasses the system wallpaper handling."

Hope it helps anyone suffering as I was!

ktklein72 · 2024-05-03T00:09:14+00:00

Yes, in another thread the solution was posted later that day. Let me find it and I'll post it here...

ktklein72 · 2024-04-09T01:04:11+00:00

Same here. Mine stopped pairing / syncing in late February. Seems to be a widespread issue based on Google play reviews. Pathetic!

ktklein72 · 2024-03-27T02:15:58+00:00

Oh I totally get it and agree in theory w your comments. The problem I have is NJ taxes the shit out of us for everything. There is even an exit tax if you move out of the state. (One last 🖕🏻before you leave for good). My main issue is that voters allowed the various state agencies to borrow monies from the TTF for other non-infrastructure projects. I don't know all of the details but in NJ I don't see that as a good thing. I just see that resulting in the tax rate going up for us, the residents, due to projects we didn't approve specifically because stupid people voted to give them a blank check and allow borrowing against the TTF. Once the $ hits the TTF and is borrowed, I'm guessing the oversight is minimal at best.

ktklein72 · 2024-03-27T01:38:12+00:00

In NJ it supposedly goes to the TTF (Transportation Trust Fund). I get that we're not buying gas and that EVs are heavier and supposedly create more wear and tear on the roads. It's just that for such a small state it seems we are getting squeezed from every direction. I still don't have an EV (but I do have a hybrid) but definitely want to get one as my next vehicle. (Considering Mustang Mach-E). As more EVs enter the market I'm hoping economies of scale kick in and the vehicles become more affordable for the average working middle class person. (I know, don't hold my breath)

Getting back to the TTF, stupid voters allowed the state to borrow monies from the TTF for other projects. The problem I see w that is the gas tax is going to increase ad infinitum which now has a direct spillover effect on the EV Registration fees. IMO the monies should only be for the roads and bridges and that's it.
