iphone's use imessage which sends media over the data network instead of using the american standard mms.

if you send a video from your iphone to another phone that isn't, you will get the same unfortunate quality. mms sucks imo.

there are a lot of other options but i personally would just send a dropbox link since you have a free account with them now.
Oh I see. Well you have to hand it to apple on that one, they win.

i guess if you're using an apple to apple application then that works but that's the same as using android to android application (which you can optionally do). apple to anything else doesn't work.

so based off that, if I text a video to an android phone, the quality will be great or crappy as if I had sent it to iphone?

if you are using an application that does not use mms such as imessage then it will be great.

gosh, how do i explain this without describing the multimedia messaging service standard.

if you're using your iphone and you send a video to someone that does not have an iphone it will use the multimedia messaging service which has size limits and it will be crappy. it will fill it with green dots. it's not really sending text messages with video, you're using an application to send a video to other apple users. if you use your iphone to send a video via text message (mms) it will be crappy and coming from iphone.

there are several android apps that do the same thing. i guess where apple does win is that the application (imessage) is installed on all apple phones.

Noob question: so the phone has TouchWiz on top of Android. Lollipop is eventually going to be available for the Note 4. Is it possible to remove TouchWiz and just have Lollipop? Please educate me on this subject.

Another question: how do I get email to stop pulling emails? It will eat up my data and I do not want to go over. I unchecked a "sync account" but then email would not refresh at all and it says email sync disabled.

i guess you can say hangouts is like imessage but you can use hangouts on an apple product as well and use it for video chatting. messenger is just a new app for text messages. i just downloaded it and prefer over sms in hangouts or the stock samsung or android sms app. interface on messenger is extremely slick and i like how i can send pics through the app without leaving it and having to open the camera app.

So if I want to text a video to someone without video quality being compromised, which one would you suggest?

I tried Hangouts and I tried to text someone, but it says they have to have hangouts as well. Maybe I'm doing this wrong?

You have the choice of using hangouts for sms or mms. If you want sms through hangouts you need to go the hangout settings and activate sms. (I personally don't use hangouts for texts). For the video to go through you have to be using the messaging (not texting) part of hangouts. You sign in with your Gmail address and the other person should do the same. What I do for people who don't have hangouts is send videos via whatsapp

I downloaded Textra, and it seems to do everything I need pretty well. I like the customization options for the display.

I was going to download Nova launcher, but I'm reading on forums that it disables some S pen features, which sucks. So I'm still on the fence about it.

Myself I just like to stick with the stock Android stuff, next couple weeks were getting lollipop, that change has a few cool features. It seems if someone writes software for these androids, shortly there after Google incorporates it into their updates to be apart of their realm of built ins to android, i.e. swipe keyboard. I just cant imagine NOT having choices for keyboards, opening of apps, schemes, colors etc etc like that of Iphones. 2 choices, really with just the phone itself? Theres 212 carriers and 3772 different type phones that are registered worldwide and are apart of the android system and currently being updated.
