iphone videos?

[JGR4444]

somebody sent me a video from an iphone today and i got a picture on my droid of the video but when i went to save the mms.. it just wanted to save a picture... are our phones not compatible with the iphone video format? or can we not receive videos on our phones at all... i havent gotten any from anyone else so i wouldnt know

Not sure, but when I get home I'll send a video from my 3GS to my Droid and let you know what happens...

i appreciate that. I was having issues sending pictures also so i have a feeling this might be part of the same issue... i am able to compose a picture and video message but i just get the status circle spinning forever if i let it go.. it just never sends.

Ok, tested it. Sent a video from my iPhone to my Droid and it worked fine. Was even able to save it to my SD card.

hm odd... im thinkin i need to make a run to the verizon store to have them check out my phone.. i do appreciate that though man.

Side note-- my phones screen would not dim out wheni was hitting the lock button so i turned my phone off and back on. I can now send and recieve picture messages, idk about video, and i was getting emails quite frequently where as i never got them before... this phone is doing so weird stuff

Maybe you'd benefit from a hard reset before making your way to your local Verizon store.

i feel a bit dumb for asking but after searching hard rest i see that it is different from just doing a battery pull.. how do i do a hard reset... sorry for a dumb question

No worries, not a dumb question. Just remember this will completely wipe your device clean.

do the applications get backed up to my gmail account. i have read that they do?

Have you duplicated this with someone else sending you a video? Maybe the problem is not on your end.

Your apps are backed up. When I changed phones they were waiting for me.
