Help Two issues with replacement phone/apps

[crystalce]

I just got a replacement S3 due to a cracked screen. In reinstalling my apps, I've encountered two annoying issues (so far...) and I've tried getting assistance from the apps' creators, but no luck. So here I am...

1) Handcent SMS: Since installing it on the new phone, I can't change my own contact picture. On my old phone (prior to the JB update) I just tapped the grey silhouette that represented my part of the conversation and it let me choose a picture. Now nothing happens and I can't figure out another way to do it. I contacted Handcent, but no response...

2) My Motospeak: It worked perfectly on my old S3 (again, installed prior to the JB upgrade). Now, I can't get it to set as the default. According to the app's instructions, when I press the call button I should get a pop up window that will ask if I want to set Motospeak as the default. Pressing the call button results in nothing happening. Well, it did open S Speak until I disabled it. I haven't changed my bluetooth device...it's just the new phone.

Any advice for either would be appreciated. The Handcent issue is just annoying. The Motospeak issue is more serious, since we have a hands-free cell phone law in my state.

Thanks!

Interestingly, within half an hour of posting this, Handcent responded to my email and solved that issue...of course the lesser issue. Still looking for help with the bluetooth issue@

Hi crystalce. You have to be sure the bluetooth is turned on on the phone before you can initiate a bluetooth pairing. You didn't mention that step in your original post.

Hi, don'tpanicbobby:

I'm sorry that I didn't mention pairing the bluetooth prior to attempting to connect with the My Motospeak, sorry. That seemed pretty obvious to me, so I left it out. I know that an unpaired bluetooth wouldn't pull up the pop up menu. But yes, the bluetooth was paired and on when I tried to activate the My Motospeak pop up to set it as default.

I dont know what motospeak is but you can try Default App Manager Lite from play store and see if that works mate
