[Q] Camera Questions - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way (hack) to make the camera shoot in 16x9 format?
Also, any way to have the camera upload automatically online (smugmug, in my specific case)?

I don't know about forcing 16x9 with the camera...there's probably third party camera apps that will let you.
For the automatic upload, there's an app called Tasker that sounds like it will let you do stuff like that. Modaco tweeted this just today:
Tasker IS the most amazing app ever. Whenever I think 'I wish I could do THIS' on my phone it has a way. Brilliant.

Thanks.
I looked at Tasker, but in the brief evaluation period I could not see a way to auto upload to smugmug, so i uninstalled it.
But I found an app named PicPush, which does exactly that: it pushes pics and movies you take with the phone to various sites, including smugmug.
Does anyone know of a good camera app which would do high res 16x9 photos, and also has a decent set of options? I didn't find anything I liked on Market.

Brief evaluation period? You mean the 15 minutes from the Market?
There's a week long eval period if you download and install from the dev's website. Moot point for you since you found another application, but others reading may be interested.

Time lapse app

HI,
Please can any one help me to find app for time lapse photos i got HTC HD2.
Simple program to make photos to one folder automatically every some period of time.
Thank you
Just used Google to find this, I have not tried it myself but it looks interesting anyways.
im curious too if such an app exists , but i dont think anybody has thought about it ...
it would have to open the camera program and take a shot and close it , if it wouldnt close it , ur batt would go down but even if u plugged in a charger , ur cpu would desolder itself with the cam app running
I use on iphone time lapse app and was amazing i done really wicked videos. App was really simple to use, maybe if someone got the time and knowledge is good idea to make it.
"Just used Google to find this, I have not tried it myself but it looks interesting anyways."
Used Google to find what?
I cant see any suggestions on you post.
I too would LOVE to find such an app.
I need an app that makes my camera on the HD2 to take pictures everey second. Or every 2 seconds. Im doing paragliding, and can not push the trigger while flying my stuff. So I need the phone to take 1000 pics. Then I can pick out the best ones.

You probably can write a mort script to do so...

YouTube uploading

Short and sweet, cant upload to YouTube. I have a video that's 97 megs and it fails every time. I am on wifi....stumped.
you need to keep retrying and itll eventually upload. or you can just upload from a computer which is much quicker and easier.

Thanks. Is this a problem with android overall or the captivate? I came across some droid x post complaining about vids over 100 megs.

This problem is really bugging me too. From what I have read the YouTube app uploader isn't very good and the uploads are something smaller than 720p once they are on YouTube. There is an app by pixelpipe?? that can supposedly keep the upload in 720p but there's something on the EULA about them owning the content and you have to give them your password.
From what I understand about the upload failures (on wifi) it seems to be a twofold problem. YouTube has updated their site twice in recent months which may be creating compatibility problems with the app. Also the youtube's compression and distribution system seems to be in a state of chaos in general.
I haven't seen anything that comes out and says any of this but its what I've been able to piece together.
I'm planning to shoot some vids this weekend so I'll keep looking and post if i find anything out

Well that blows! I wonder if samsung is aware of the problem and working on it. I hate not being able to upload in HD to YouTube.
Probably has to do with the lack of HSUPA
oh, you did say WiFi... never mind

the youtube uploader uploads the full video but it just takes forever to do so. theres an app from pixelpipe that i use from time to time. it uploads the video file in its full resolution too but there isnt a progress bar when its uploading.

Yeah but you have to agree to them owning the content which total BS.
you stole my thread
I just took a 40mb 720p video and have been trying to upload it for maybe 30 min now. It keeps stopping after moving a few % and says will "...retry after 1 minute..." But it only does another few % then stops again.
Terrible. Kinda destroys the whole flow of personal media. I read here that its an app/youtube problem so I hope they update it
WORK AROUND!
So uploading to Qik works very smoothly and fast. So use Qik to upload to Youtube/Facebook!
Basically go to a computer and link your Qik account with Youtube/Facebook. Then log out of the android app and log back in. Now, go to the video you want to upload and hit the upload button. Wait for it to finish upload. NOW hit the Youtube/Facebook button! Tada!! It will send the video to youtube/facebook after its done processing.
Hurrah!! I haven't tried it over 3G but suspect that its not limited. Also currently uploading so I will let everyone know if its HD or not.
Edit: Never mind, not HD :-(

Samsung really needs to fix these things. I mean the gps issue, connecting to enterprise wifi, exchange issues, and YouTube uploads on wifi. Do we have to wait till Froyo for these fixes?

the youtube thing isnt really a samsung issue. ive read that its a problem with all android phones. its the actual youtube app and servers that cause it.

[Q] Dropbox app - No video upload | only photos?

Hey,
I have a question about dropbox app.
And although I think the automatic photo upload feature is very nice and I want to use it. But there is one annoying thing, my videos will also be uploaded, which takes a very long time.
Is it possible to turn off the upload of videos, so that only photos can be uploaded, because the videos I do not need on Dropbox.
Thanks, ~Maik
Nope as far as I know. Maybe they'll add it in a future release.

This is stupid.
Hopefully, they add this feature...
yea for me its not just slow, its clocks up space in no time.
I like to take videos of my kids and with the auto upload feature they fill my dropbox space very quickly, I have do delete all mp4 files manually.
Any ideas for workarounds or automation of this?
thanks Merlin

SnapChat hack

You know how you can only view snapchat pictures for a few seconds, well now you don't have to anymore
Using a program I wrote, it reminds you to start your screen recording software whenever you open Snapchat
Program is attached

Doesn't give you another notification if you restart Snapchat, Workaround: Restart the SnapChatHack service
Note
You need screen recording software, such as Screencast for this too work

Interesting. There is an app for jailbroken iphones that allows you to do this (capture pics without the other party being notified) AND it allows you to use/send pics from your gallery. Any chance of this feature anytime soon?

actually, you CANNOT send a photo from your gallery/camera roll, snapchat only allows you to send a picture that was just taken on the spot within the app

these would be awesome features if someone could add them
Sorry for the late reply, but implementing those features would be hard, you would have to modify the actually code for that to work
Just posted a new version

Just click Start Thread, and when you start Snapchat, it will tell you to start the program you use to record your screen

At this point those don't work anymore. I'm currently looking for something that works but you only get 2 tries, first 3rd party app they make you reset password and and second time they detect it (or another 3rd party app) they ban your account.

[APP][3.2+][FREE] Blox Backup. Unlimited storage. Cloud

Right since last year i haven't been developing any apps due to both my other apps just failing and because i now actually have a job but there's things i always wanted to do in terms of Android apps and an app like this was definitely one of them.
so about the app, like the title says it's a cloud backup app, which i have made for backing up images to the cloud, it's also got unlimited storage and thankfully is secure enough for other people to use.
It's not %100 complete but apps never are so this app will hopefully be supported a lot lot more than my other apps so if there's features you'd like but the app doesn't have then let me know and i'll try my best to add it.
Here's the Gplay description:
Blox Backup is an easy to use image cloud backup app with unlimited storage which means you can backup any image of any size for free with no worrying about limited storage or losing any of your favourite photo's.
I have made Blox Backup easy to use with a clean and simple layout to ensure you can use the app without issue.
It also has these simple features:
Ability to sign up to your own personal account
Unlimited storage
Easy to use interface
A clean and simple grid gallery
The ability to download your photo's back
You can also delete the images at any time!
So why not choose Blox Backup as your next solution to securing your favourite photo's!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplistic.bloxbackup
So yeah, if you like it then please let me know as i have a good feeling about this app!
Thanks for reading
What method are you using to secure the photos?
Also, when I try to select a photo to upload, it just force closes. So the app is unusable right now.

I'm currently trying to resolve the problem
Thanks for the quick reply.
Unfortunately i have had to temporarily un publish the app due to problems.
Right i give up, I've tried every single "solution" but absolutely nothing works, so i have no idea what's happened but it won't work so this app, unless someone can actually fix it, is going to off the play store
Okay, I'm feeling very very stupid right now, it turns out i forgot i deleted the imageview from the layout but made a rookie mistake and left the code. I'm such a twat. It will be back on the play store soon!
It's back on the play store now and this time it'll actually work

How are you finding the app now you can actually upload?
The app looks great and I love the simpleness of it.
There is one feature that I suggest you add though. Can you make it so that we can select multiple pictures to upload at once? It is a pain to only be able to do one at a time.
Other then that, I love it!

That will be a part of the next update which will out in a few days, maybe less and I'm glad you like it, I'd appreciate a review because it hasn't had the best start and could do with some more reviews to get it shown a little more

Generally i like this idea, but how can you guarantee unlimited storage?
Where is the server at? How do i make sure that security is good enough and nobody but me got access to my photos?

+1, what he said.
The only other app I know that is technically "unlimited storage" is Shoebox. It basically shrinks your image to a lower resolution so that their server/SAN/NAS doesn't fill out quickly. There's no way "unlimited storage" is a free thing just like that, there's gotta be tradeoffs or compromises somehow and someone's gotta pay for hosting the storage. Please explain how all of this will be addressed, otherwise for all we know we could be upload our private/personal photos to your server for you to enjoy.

+1. Wanna know where, what cryption, and so on for this app. If it is stored in USA, it's kinda out of the question to use this app.
Well according to Quickblox it's unlimited and i had a look because i thought there might have been some catch but the only thing it really says is that it's on a shared cloud storage as I'm only on the basic free package. As far as i know it's safe as long as i don't give any details away and as long as i use my own api key, secret code and auth key, rather than a public test one.
If i'm wrong and using shared storage isn't safe or could harm any of you then please let me know because i want this to be genuine app but if it'll cause problems i may as well delete it and not bother with it.
Again though, as far as i know it's safe and is indeed unlimited unless i paid for the top package which i definitely can't afford
I like it very much so far. Thank you

Great effort. Is this app is still up? Imma try this and give you feedback.

Great app. Thanks dev. Just wanna make sure about the security. and the multiple selection of downloading and uploading. And maybe a timeline or album. Still a lot to develop. But a great one.
