So as many of you have already heard, Instagram dropped for we Android users about a week ago. Google Play won't let me find the app, so I downloaded the latest apk and installed it using a file manager. The app does everything fine except let me upload photos. It'll allow me to take/choose a photo from my gallery, crop it, but crashes at the filter screen. Has anyone looked into this at all, or am I just gonna have to avoid this app until I choose to upgrade my phone?
Oh, and I'm running CM7 if it matters at all.
100 Views and no responses? Looks like we're all screwed huh? XD
Might be. Didn't know about this program until today.
avoid app until you upgrade your phone i ran into similiar problems with my hero
I managed to get working by downloading and installing the apk itself

Hi all
Im new here so I hope this is posted right. Ive developed an Android app that is similar to the iPhone Photoswap app. For those not aware, Photoswap lets you take a photo and send it to a random person, and you will in return receive a random photo back. You can then take part in picture-conversations with the person who you received a photo from.
Ive had a couple people testing my app and it seems to just about ready (apart from using the default app icon), and I'd like to put it out there for others to start using (and hopefully provide some feedback on ) Im new to android development (although not new to programming itself), and this is my first android app. IMHO it works better than the similar Picswap app that exists already, as this doesnt force-close constantly or throw-out error messages regarding "corrupt" images
I have attached the APK with my post for anyone who wishes to download and install it
There is a known issue with the app at the moment that it does not (at least on HTC devices) delete any photos that you have taken, and they still appear in your Photos app. From what Ive found, using the camera Intent saves 2 copies of the photo to the SD card, and Ive only found one path from the URI to delete (so 1 copy is deleted, but the other remains). These can be deleted from the Photos app still however, but Im looking into how to delete these automatically from the app also.
Edit: The app also starts with a blank screen (no default image yet), just press the menu key to begin
Edit 16th September: New APK uploaded, fixes some threading issues and adds debug log output. Please download and install this as the old one may continue to run in the background and not pause properly when changing apps.
For those having issues, please use aLogCat (from the market) and filter by "SnapSwap" to access the debug log. Please PM me a copy of this along with your phone model and android version and I will look into it Most issues so far seem to be with Cyanogen Mod and Motorola users
hay, i'm one of the beta testers,
and this app is really nice
i hope the optic would be a bit better in the next beta , but it makes fun to "swapping" pictures with other testers !
it is much faster then "a world of photo" it never take longer then 10sec since i get a picture
Really nice and weLL done
Greetings from germany !
Thanks for sharing!
Im going to try make an icon for it soon along with a default image to be shown as well, and adjust the polling time with the server for replies (or even look at adding a push notification system to it)
Just updated the APK in my original post to fix some bugs as at least one user was not being assigned a unique ID properly, updated the server to watch for this also.
For those that have already installed the app, I recommend installing this one over it
If those that have installed it could provide some feedback it would also be greatly appreciated
nice idea i like it , i will share my photo with others sounds good
i will feed u back
I downloaded, installed and when i took a pic it immediately force closed.
Oh great, twenty bucks you get some picture of some dudes junk or some other nasty pic.

There has not been any unwanted material sent via it as yet. Im looking into the best way to ban those that would at the moment. As it is currently though, devices are only identified via a unique ID provided by the server the first time the device accesses it, and this is extremely simple to get around if I were to "block" a device.
To those that have had force-closures: Can you please let me know the following..
1) Do you have an SD Card installed?
2) What device are you using?
3) What version of Android are you running?
Works great for me on Samsung Vibrant. I only get one copy of the pictures (that I take), then of course the temp files SnapSwapImg.jpg (the last pic I took) and SnapSwapImg2.jpg (the last one I received). I totally dig the application! You can reply to pictures (of course, with other pictures), receive replies, and even continue your "pic conversation" with that individual. Yeah, you could end up with a dude's (or chick's, though I doubt there'd be many complaining) junk in exchange for your picture, but putting in any kind of regulation for something like that just ruins the whole point of the application. Can't wait to see this adopted by more people.

Sounds pretty cool; I'll try it out. How many unique users do you have?
how do u download it?
This is just like the PicRoulette app. You take a picture, and it sends you the latest picture someone else just took.

snapswap works
Works great on my EVO! Lots of fun. Even getting replies. There was no FC.
I cant download or install anything from the market. This just started happening within the hour.
It acts like it begins the download, then nothing.
this is extremely frustrating. anyone have anything on it?? how to fix, happening to you?
thank you
Same for me. Maybe the servers are in maintenance.
For the moment I think that all we have to do is wait and and see.
I'll get more concerned if it's still not working after 24h...
i can download anything except Gapps...
EDIT: Im getting a force close, a vending error...
I'm also having an issue starting today with downloads/installs using AppBrain and the stock Market place
I have a Samsung Vibrant running Bionix-V 2.2
Seems like only certain apps won't download (like Google Maps), I just downloaded an update for Mixzing though and it got installed
It just looks like it downloads and then it goes back to saying "Update" or stalls at the end of the download and doesn't install
Just thinking: maybe it has to do with the Google announcement that'll happen today. It is rumored that they would introduce the Android Market website besides Honeycomb ... So they may be doing tests or else that could have an impact on the market?
Same thing on my end.
pissing me off, it's been acting up all day.

We haven't heard anything about a market update
EDIT: They are working on an in browser android market so that might be the cause of the issue.
Wifi download didnt work, edge it worked. Then tried again and it worked. Servers maybe
Been trying on wifi and 3g, no go. No application can install/update. Instead, it "pretends" it is installed (shows in my Downloads/My Apps section), allows me to comment/rate, but still reports "Free" instead of "Download/Update"

Android Market acting weird -- is it a precursor to tomorrow's event?
We've gotten a bunch of tips in the past hour or so that the Android Market is doing weird things, and we can corroborate this on our Nexus S here -- we're just not able to download stuff. Apps look like they're starting to download, then they suddenly vanish into thin air without a trace and without an error message. Our Droid 2 is still fully functional, though, so this definitely isn't consistent; really, we're just wondering if this outage might have something to do with tomorrow's Android-themed festivities at the Google campus, which -- naturally -- we'll be attending. So how is everyone faring out there tonight?
Hi, you may try to clear Market cache in app settings. I used to solve my problem in that way.
I flashed a new Rom last night and WWF was working fine for me. I was playing back and forth with my wife for a few hours. Then it quit working. It starts to load, then quits. It goes to a screen showing the upside down android with link. Click link and it says Web page down. I uninstalled the game and then installed it again. ?Same thing. Trying to figure out if it is a WWF problem or some thing with the Rom.
My question is, anyone else having problems with Words with Friends?

If you happen to have AdFree Android installed, I remember reading somewhere that this messes up Words With Friends. Probably because of their awful post-move full screen ads.
The rom has adds removed. For what ever reason words with friends doesnt work properly without adds. you need to delete the host file on your phone using a file manager

You my friend are a genius, I looked at the specs of the ROM and there it was. My last rom had where you could turn it off. I just gotta find the option for that for this rom.
THANK YOU
Actually if you do a Google search, there are instructions on editing it to enable just words with friends. Other ads are still mostly blocked.

I actually just discovered Wordsmith, a similar game to WWFriends. Seems to work better and more stable. Only thing is it's not cross platform with iOS.
Quick question. My transformer installs apps from the market fine but when im navigating around the market looking around the apps ive already dont show as 'installed'. Instead it shows 'free' or the price of the app. When i click on the app it shows as installed and it also shows the installed apps within the 'my apps'......is this normal????
Anyone else got this?
I have the same "issue".
same here.
I have it as well. I presume it's intended/design flaw.
same thing we me. i suspect they still need to squish this bug.
maybe 3.1 will have this fixed.
Thanks for confirming this, i though i was going mad. I half remember reading a review of honeycomb and it included this issue but i cant find it now. Its a hard one to Google as it gets mixed with people who cant install apps or cant see apps in the market.
I remember hearing that 3.1 would fix this problem.
Hmm i thought i was going nuts when downloading apps and sometimes they dont show up anywhere, hope 3.1 irons this out

agree, very annoying...
I had the same problem, I did a system reset and it all started to work also make sure you do not uncheck the restore device settings. I think that was the trick for me.

Sorry if this topic has been brought up before but I've been looking around and haven't been able to find much as far as netflix support on the Charge. So far my experience with all the various mods that have been released is that they simply don't work. The closest I have gotten to one working was the mod by ften for v1.2.1 which allowed me to log in and pick a movie to stream, upon which I got the 2005 error. I have heard that this error has since been fixed for several devices with the newer 1.2.2 mods, however all of them seem to have restored the initial issue of the app crashing after attempting to log in. My question is could this issue be caused by the same problem that caused the first apk release to crash? And if so, could one of the new modded apk's be modified in the same fashion as ften's initial 1.2.1 crash fix to create a fully functional apk for the Charge?
I have an evo and they recently updated the application. I had to uninstall, reboot, and then reinstall the Netflix application. Otherwise I was getting the same problem you're getting now.
Maybe give that a shot?
PS I know nothing about the modified Netflix apk or what the first problem was that caused that problem. Just trying to be helpful.

I have tried that method with several different apk's and haven't had any luck so far. Like I said the 1.2.1 crash fixed apk was the only one that let me get passed the login screen. Thanks for the input though it is appreciated!
I am pretty sure you will need to be running a gingerbread based rom for netflix to work correctly.
