When i go to photos:favorites my phone automatically starts playing music and animating my pics into a slideshow. Ive searched every setting and i cant figure out how to turn this off and just have static pics and no random music being played. Help!

You're not alone, and you have some options. In albums and some collections you can turn off the preview movie by going to the sort menu at the bottom, and choosing View Options

and then unchecking "Movie Preview."


You can also stop it all by going to Settings>Apps>Photos and turning off "Show Featured Content" an/or "Auto-Play Motion."


Also, in Settings>Accessibility>Vision>Motion, you can reduce some animations and other useless flashy stuff.


Let us know what works for you…
