and if you link to your picture be sure you don't link to somewhere
on your harddisk as you can only link to online stuff

I'm facing the same problem kindly tell how did you fixed it ?

A bit of an old post... But to anyone else having this issue and reading this....
You are mistaking your "Profile Picture" with your "Avatar".
The Profile Picture shows up on your actual profile.
The Avatar shows when you post.
In your settings, underneath the "Settings and Options" section (on the left hand side, on PC at least), you'll see a "Edit Avatar" option.
Profile pictures are max size 100x100, Avatars are 80x80... So keep that in mind as well when uploading avatar.

File Upload - Page Refresh bug?

Hi Guys,
There is a bug I have noticed when it comes to using the "File Upload" option you get on websites.
I am running a stock ICS Nexus S and if I go to upload a file and choose to pick from my gallery. Selecting some pictures will result in the page refreshing, instead of it selecting that photo to be uploaded.
Any other fields that I had entered info into on 'the form' will retain the values. (odd behaviour considering it looks like it refreshes the page)
I find it depends on the photo I am uploading. Some times its always fine. Some photos the first time it refreshes but on a second try it works. and other photos simple just keep doing the odd refresh behaviour.
Has anyone else had this issue and know the cause?
Thanks

[APP][2013-02-12][UPDATE] Pictures Near Me

Hi everyone
I uploaded my new app to the Play store yesterday, but figured I'd post here too
Here's the link: Pictures Near Me
It does what it says on the tin really, shows pictures near your current location, and you can view a map showing where you are in relation to it. The main aim is it might be useful on vacation to find interesting or less obvious stuff to go visit.
I've tested on my Galaxy Nexus, and also the emulator under 2.3. A few friends have tried it on various handsets, but that's still not very representative. Please let me know if it breaks, or any features you'd like to see (I'm already thinking of adding Panoramio support and also a map-view for the 'index'
2013-02-12 1.9 released. Adds location search and picture saving.
2013-01-21 1.8 released. Performance improvements and Daydream screensaver
2012-11-27 1.7 released. Pan around Map search results to view photos in other locations
2012-10-29 1.5 released. Added pinman to map-search results.
2012-10-25 1.4 released. Added caching of search results to help performance.
2012-10-22 1.3 released. New Map View of search results
2012-07-30 1.2 released. Adds navigation button, larger thumbnails, and more columns on tablet devices.
2012-07-19 1.1 released, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29020922&postcount=7
Works Ok once I put the search area up to maximum. Currently in South end on sea UK.
Using HTC One X.
Cheers

Congrats, your app has crossed the Atlantic and reached your country's old colonies, haha. North Carolina, kind of middle of nowhere. Default settings had it show the same Pepsi truck twice; I set it to the max (32km?) and now a bunch of stuff is coming up.
This is really neat. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks , this is a sweet app.
Glad it seems to work - surprised at the lack of pictures coming up, in my little town there's quite a lot! But then we get a fair few tourists.
I've pushed version 1.1 live to the Play store.
This adds a few new features, specifically:
- share pictures you find with your friends via many of your other apps (Facebook, Twitter, Email etc.)
- picture descriptions now shown
- added an approximate address of the picture when viewing the map
- added warning when your location not found
- pinch-to-zoom when viewing picture full-size
I've just updated to 1.2.
This adds more thumbnail columns on tablets, and increases the size on phones. Also there's now a button to launch Google Navigation while viewing the photo
This is a great little app! I like it :good:

Pictures Near Me has been updated to 1.3 - now you get the option of viewing search results in a grid as before, or on a map to give a bit more context of what's around you.
The update should be live in the Play Store now.
Next version I'm looking at caching the search results and thumbnails to speed it up when you repeat search in a similar location to previously...
1.4 released today.
I've added caching so repeat searches in the same kinda area should be noticeably faster.
1.5 released. Small update to show Pinman on the map-search screen so you can see where all the results are in relation to you before tapping through to an individual picture
A few more updates have been rolled out- you can now pan around the map to view photos from other locations!
New update released!
Repeat searches in a location are now much faster as more information is cached
I've also added a "daydream" screensaver option!
this is indeed a nice little app.. thx!

a few ideas for ur consideration..
(1) put an option to show/hide the "cache" folder in/from other gallery apps (a .nomedia file trick maybe).. or to make it simpler just put a .nomedia file there as its a "cache" folder after all..
(normally the cache folder files are named cryptically and wont interfere with gallery app, however, i found out that there were a few properly-named files in the cache folder with a JPG extension.. they probably appeared after i have viewed the photo in the app.. and its those JPG files that showed up in my gallery app..)
(2) an export function to save a downloaded image to other locations..

Currently the cache images don't have the .jpg name. Adding this would be fairly easy, but the filenames bear no relation to the original image- they are actually from the hash of the URL the image came from. Changing this to be a more logical name would be non-trivial.
Adding an option in the picture details screen to simply save the current image to the gallery is possible though, so I'll add this for the next release. I'm also looking to add a location search option to the home-screen; as one user left a negative review in the Play store saying they couldn't search elsewhere (you can, you just need to pan around the map) - they also said the images were rubbish, and obviously didn't spot you can order by interestingness. Unfortunately the play store doesn't let me reply to comments

for the JPG issue, i did find out that in the cache folder there was 1 JPG file (which was an image that i have viewed in details screen), and im fairly certain that this file was created by this app, and not any other apps as no app would mess with this app's cache folder..
i have viewed a number of images for details and only this one particular JPG file appeared.. i dunno why maybe u can investigate a little..
for negative comments in the play store, u can just ignore them as few users would admit that its their own problem not able to use an app.. most of the times they blamed the apps..

Strange picture i didnt take is in my dropbox

Today I discovered a picture in my dropbox camera upload that I did not take.
Viewing the file on my computer it is just a png file with a statusbar without clock.
Now on my S3 there has always been a clock, so it's not a screenshot I have taken.
On my S3 the image is quite different.
Immediately when opening (before app renders the image completely), I get a picture with a clear motive.
After rendering, the image is more distorted.
This is only viewable on the device, not on a computer.
Sorry about the motive in this image, there is some brat in a back seat of a car waving at the camera with his middle finger.
I would love to blur the image, but I take my chanses uploading it as an original. You have been warned.
I DO NOT know the people on this picture.
Please share your theory or ideas! I am also happy to answer any questions you might have.
All I want for this thread is to understand why these people are appearing on my phone.
Original file attached to this post.
Will upload the other images in next post
Screenshots from S3:
Pre render: https://www.dropbox.com/s/q3850jwd6mfikyg/2014-09-17 18.38.08.png?dl=0
Rendered: https://www.dropbox.com/s/odofk5ud3d4x9ph/2014-09-17 18.32.56.png?dl=0
Ok so I have a theory. I bought the phone used. I formatted all storage before use, but this might be some resilient file that got caught by Dropbox and is now corrupted because it was supposed to be deleted. What I think is strange is that I never saw the picture on my phone or in my Dropbox before yesterday. Yet the date for the file is dated back in 2011. Both capture date and upload date. The meta data (AFAIK) in the original file says the image has been captured with the s3 as a photo, not a screenshot. Not sure if I want to settle with my own logic here...

Trying to find camera app that displays image file name

Just wondering if anybody out there might know of a camera app (or some other way to achieve this) that will display the image file name automatically for a period of time after taking a photo. I am using my android phone camera to record literally thousands of images of maintenance items and I have to write down the image file name on the inspection form each time. This is so that a link to the file can be built back up in excel and the correct image can be imported into the correct record back in the office. I can see the image name easily enough by selecting the image view soft button after taking a picture and then tapping the picture and the file name is displayed for a couple seconds at the top. The display usually disappears before I get the whole thing written down so have to hit it a couple times. This is just a pain and a time limiting factor when I have to do thousands. I'm trying to find a camera app (or other means) that will remove a step or two from the process. Any ideas?
The other thing that would help is being able to change the file naming protocol of captured images to sequential instead of the (often preferred) date/timestamp. I know this seems like a step backwards and most people try to change the protocol the other way but for my purpose, knowing I just have to add 1 to the previous file name is sooooooooo much quicker.

Hi I need pba ic scrap 8 gb 16gb so my contact no is 9899961391 same as what's app
good app
Doesn't work for me. App themes work, but nothing shows in the gif window no matter what I search. Share button doesn't do anything either, but that could just be because there is nothing to share. Gif Overlay is set to be allowed to draw over other apps in my device btw.

That should only happen if there is an error contacting the server for the search or parsing the search response data.
Could you check adb logcat messages? You should see some error there.

Got it to work! For some reason it didn't work until I disabled my VPN. Then after a successful gif search I rebooted the device and it seemed to be working fine with my VPN. It works great now for most apps, but for the few that it doesn't, is it possible to maybe allow for the Gif to be somehow copied right into whatever text field you're in or is sharing to the app the only way? Great app though btw. Thank you!

That would be cool. I guess there's no way to really copy the image itself to clipboard is there? Only text? I've been looking for an app that does that myself for a long time.

As far as I know, you can copy the image to the clipboard. The problem is that the app where you are pasting will not understand you are pasting an image unless they have implemented that.

Generally, when you touch and hold an image in an app you can share or download it and share it to wherever, but i don't think I've ever seen a "Copy to Clipboard" option except when copying text. I see what you mean about pasting the image though and maybe a gif would be even more complicated to do that with.
I wonder if it would be better if you set it the touch and hold the image function to download the gif instead. Then you could add it anywhere.

Thank you! I tried it out and for some reason I'm still having connection problems. Even turning off my VPN doesn't seem to make it search. I noticed that sometimes when turning off my WiFi connection it will search right away, but not all the time. I wonder if I'm the only one having this issue. When it does search it does appear to download, but even when searching my entire sdcard for "gif" or ".gif" or even the name that it says it saved as afterwards I can't seem to find where it saves. It seems as if maybe it's not really saving, at least as a gif. Can't find it when opening the gallery either. Opening it in gallery from the download notification does show it, but it doesn't allow you to view any details on it either, nor does it let you share it when opening it like that. URL copy works fine, though maybe a toast message saying it's copied would help to let people know that it has copied, otherwise, unless you try to paste somewhere it appears as if it's done nothing. Share works fine as usual. Anyhow, I hope this helps. Thank you!

I've a attached a verbose log here for you to look at in case you need it. Had to zip it because apparently 2kb is too big for text on XDA? Anyhow, I hope this helps. Thank you!

Can't see anything weird in the logs.
The download triggers the android downloadmanager so the file can go to some weird place like /data/data/com.android.providers.download. I could change it so it goes to the downloads folder but then I need to add an extra permission.
And yeah adding some sort of message or toast is a good idea.

That would be great. I think I figured out that it goes to "/data/data/gif.overlay/cache/image_manager_disk_cache". The files in there were ".0" format, but when I changed it to ".gif" they showed the gifs I was trying to download. Assuming those aren't just the cached images from the search that is. Regardless you can't really access them or share them when they're outside of the sdcard.

No the ones inside the gif.overlay folder are either cached images from the search (those are not the final version but downsampled images to make it faster) or files saved before sharing. The downloaded ones should end up as giphy.gif somewhere where the downloadmanager puts it (in my case /data/data/com.android.providers.download).

Yeah. Just checked and you're right. The gifs do go to"/data/data/com.android.providers.download/cache/". Strange that they weren't showing up in my system wide search. Regardless, it would be cool if they could go to the "downloads" or "pictures" or a "/sdcard/Gif Overlay/" folder or something. Then there would be no end to the possibilities.
Now I just have to figure out why it's only connecting like half the time. Just tried again and it worked. Earlier though it wasn't. It must be something on my end. Not sure.
EDIT: Downloaded "Advanced Download Manager" from the Play Store and set it to auto incercept copied links for now, so that now I just have to click the copy function in the app and ADM asks me where I want to save it to. Clean flashed a new rom too and now I'm not having any more connection issues btw. Must've been something blocking it on my old configuration.
Changelog 1.5
* Added option to select window position.
* Bug fixing.
