Instagram incompatible? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

For the record, running one of the ICS builds - everything seems to work as expected minus the known issues/bugs.
I downloaded Instagram today from the Google Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instagram.android) - says my device is compatible. When I take a picture or load a picture from the gallery, the app freezes and/or reboots my phone. Is anyone else seeing this behaviour? Would be nice to know if you're one GB or one of the ICS builds as well...

Says it's incompatible for me on the Play Store and I'm on ICS

Does it give a reason? Downloaded for me from the Play Store - weird. Had a buddy on SGS II LTE stock GB test as well and he says it freezes/crashes a lot.

said it was compatible, but yes I run into the same issue.

I also am having this issue. once again a great IOS app ported to android and it super sucks. I am using it on the ATT Skyrocket LTE

bad iphone port is bad?

try this apk

same issue here. Once I select a photo, the filter screen causes my phone to hang and require reboot. =\ (also on ICS rom)

It says its not compatible for my skyrocket which is on ics and my galaxy tab on AOKP build 28

Tried that first - then installed from Play Store and same results.
Had a buddy on stock 2.3.5 test it out and he gets the same freezing/crashes. Pretty sure this is an issue with the app and the I727/I727R, not the ICS leak.
Anyways, gave it a 1 rating on Play Store and left feedback that it doesn't work on our devices. Been happy with Pixlr-o-matic (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pixlr.OMatic) anyways...

I also wanted to try the new Instagram app, but now seeing that other ICS roms and stock GB are having problems, i'm inclined to think there's a bug with the first release of the app in general. Hopefully it is fixed soon!

sucks, weve waited too long for this..

mine still says compatible for all my devices including my skyrocket
I have ICS and they let me install in on Google Play.
But yeah, it's crashing like everyone is saying even if you can install it.
Personally, I've never ever had an app crash this bad where I had to hold down the power button for an extended period of time.
What a shame. Looking forward to a quick resolution.

same here.....sad indeed. But as with most ver 1.0 apps, the compability list will increase. We've waited this long!
But the amount of time it took the team to release this app....let's hope updates don't come at the same pace....

Yeah I'm on my skyrocket with ICS rooted and it says it is incompatible. Hope they fix this, one of the few things I miss from my iphone days.

I was able to install from the store, but it's a huge POS.
Crashes and reboots the phone.
Tried both camera settings, same result.
It's a stripped down, piss poor port from iOS.

I used the apk file from mediafire. Running fine with no force closes.

Mine works fine until I try to take a picture myself and get to the filter screen. Are you able to take your own pics and apply different filters?

My fully stock Skyrocket is running the app fine so far. I've played around with the filters using pics from my gallery and while taking new pics.
Although now that I think of it I haven't uploaded any pics with it yet. So maybe I've just stopped before the issues occurred. I'll have to play around some more.

I didn't state nor did the link I linked to state that any prop editing needs to be done. Fresh Overcome GB ROM and the APK in the link and Netflix plays. I just finished watching Predators. Don't state it doesn't work when its just your device thats not working.
sorry i forgot to mention that im running techno's cm7 2.3.4 (perhaps thats the prob?) ill be trying overcome asap.
apologies for saying it didnt work for me...try and relax a bit fella, my tab is working just fine otherwise.

On my Wifi only Tab I changed the lines in the build.prop to HTC and I can login and hear sound when I select a movie but no video.

I believe wifi tabs have different hardware then 3g ones. Build prop could be one fix but I think there might be a hardware check or something that is preventing video for some.

SO i take it, Netflix only works on GSM overcome Roms...Sprint tab rooted with original Rom does not work. The screen just disappears when you log in. SMH at Google. To many software/hardware versions for any company to make a app right.
i ment in like australia..
Works fine with the new Gingerbread ROM on Tmo US.
another +1 on overcome 2.0 (2.3.3) i havnt had much time to test but it loads and plays. ill see in the next couple days how it works without wifi. at home it seems to be all well.
comming from technomancer's cm7 port overcome is MUCH MUCH smoother, cleaner, faster and has none of the issues i used to have with cm...but thats what you get with ports that arent updated regularly. the older overcome worked well, but i chose cm7 because of the settings and such, and back a couple months ago there wasnt THAT big of a diff (and cm is whats on my g2...so i thought id prefer it) now after using the latest 2.0 i cant believe how well this tab functions now.
so, netflix made me switch roms, and it works!!...but i got a bonus surprise with how well overcome really is.
very good day for my tablet!
Works perfectly on my us tmobile tab with overcome beta 1 and 2.3.3! Picture quality is very crisp. Streams with no lag
Works so well that I was on the phone with netflix yesterday and was telling the guy on the phone about it, info on 2.3.3.
and the the netflix app in his email got me 6 free months of service via coupons.
Awsome!

Honeycomb improves the user experience on tablets greatly. At least from my experience with it.

needs the extra 50 megs borrowed from cache . For a while was up to 320 mb system but its using 205 out of 250 now.
sounds like if they ever get the browser and gmail to work reasonably well it will be time to take the plunge.
Roe, MrGuy, Clemsyn, DJ_Steve, Pershoot and all of the VEGA and Adam developers are amazing. This is very much a group effort over at SLD, which shows in the sheer amount of progress made on this port. Honestly, I woke up one morning to version 1.2, the next day to 2.0 and that night 2.1.
It's not quite ready for prime time, but I use it as a daily driver. No way I could ever go back now.
Working great so far...
I took the plunge and installed this and it looks great. I'm just going through my favorite apps to see what works and what doesn't. I'll update as I know more.
I just tested Video playback and the only thing that works of course is Moboplayer, but it works great, and even works on files that used on play without sound in Vegan 5.1.1 (they now have sound!).

It is not faster, its bulky, blocky and all over the place. Scrolling is mega lame. I hate it because it totally sucketh! An easy uninstall takes you back to exactly the way you had it which is nice. No reboot needed even.

[APK] Epic OZ Camera Firmware Update

Couldn't find this posted anywhere so here it is for anyone that needs it.
SamsungApps won't correctly download this package on gingerbread roms so I had to downgrade to 2.2 to fetch it for everyone.
Installing this apk then running it will update your built in camera(s) firmware to version OZ. Install directly from sd card, no need to push into /system (discouraged actually, as this app will ask you to uninstall it after it runs)
I'm not entirely too sure what has changed, but why not keep it updated if the update is offered.
This is the same update offered through SamsungApps. Nothing new, just an installable apk people can use to update their firmwares if they are outdated.
Enjoy.

After installing this I was screwing around with my camera settings and ran the update firmware. It said I wasn't running the most current version so it updated something with my camera firmware then installed Samsung apps in my programs.
Not a bad thing I guess, its kind of like a mini market with 20-30 programs.
Light sensor is more accurate and adjust faster in this version.
Yay, this update brought back the ability to disable GeoTagging pictures that was lost in the firmware update that was released around the official Froyo update time.

Weird, have a buddy with a stock unrooted 2.3.5 here on a Rogers I727R and he gets a lot of FC's and crashes as well.
I also experience this on my phone, Xperia Neo V, Instagram on Gingerbread works like a charm but always FC on Sony ICS 4.0.3, when applying filters.
Yep, same situation for me. Everything in Instagram works fine until you get into editing after taking a pic. The filters don't load and the phone is stuck in a frozen state. Usually I won't need to restart as phone will FC it after a while, or it will automatically restart my phone. There was only one time after the second update was pushed out for it that my phone could successfully apply filters. However during save it froze then crashed. All the photos still appear in gallery fine.

x2. When I had Instagram on my fully stock Skyrocket, it worked fine. Now I'm rooted and have the leaked ICS ROM and now it freezes and locks up my phone. Bummer! It is a great app!
Maybe its a ics thing. I'm sure the coding has alot to do with it but seems like it's not working on all ics but working on most gingerbread.
