Greetings all,
I am a member of a volunteer rescue squad and one of the ways we get paged out to emergencies is via an .amr file sent in a SMS message.
After updating to Android v 4.1.2 it seems that I have lost the ability to play these files. Before the default media player would launch and play the audio files directly from the message but now it gives a notice saying I do not have an app capable of playing this file type. I have tried installing a few apps that play .amr files but it still gives me the same message. I am able to save the sound file to SD card and open it manually from inside an app but that takes too much time in an emergency.
One of the apps I have been using to play the files is called "audio player" and .amr is listed in the file associations list in the settings, but I still cannot get the files to play directly from my text messages.
Thank you for any advice,
ZC
