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

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

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?

[Q] Camera Questions

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.
Click to expand...

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.

out of focus
Dear friends,
Thanks a lot for your interest in Phereo!
In fact, I need to confess that there was a problem with upload from O3D: photos were not out of focus, but image was uploaded with swapped channels (left-eye image went to right eye and vice versa). It feels like out of focus maybe.
We have resolved it on server side - so now images will go right way without app update. Unfortunately, we can't do anything with images already uploaded.
We are sorry for the inconvenience - and kindly welcome you to stay with us!
Kind regards,
Vasily

After the last update it works just perfect,almost as good as when i look on own O3Ds screen. Thanx Phereo team.
PS.Is that any way to delete old uploaded pictures, those I first uploaded before the update are still shown out of focus?
REQ for phereo
can you give as an option to save a picture? that should be very great.
thanks for this nice app.
Well i found out that all the pictures
you see on phereo are stored on the phone self. You have to change
permissions than you can see the images in gallery.

Where is this cache folder?
Love the ability to view and share 3D but I seem to have a problem with the app no one else has mentioned, all pics (even ones I take and upload) show with a lot of interference like lines across them as if a lot of almost invisible bars are in front of the pictures.
Any idea why this is?
Regarding the account creation error I also had this, yet when I checked the email address I had specified I still had a confirmation email and can log in with no problem. I think the app quits when the username you choose is already taken.

They have a download option in last release, but it doesn't work in full-screen view. It works only in gallery preview mode.

Alternatives to flickr

Can anyone recommend any alternative sites WITH decent android one touch uploading apps?
I am looking for alternatives because I don't want to sign up for ANOTHER email address, which you have to have yahoo for flickr...
You guys were plenty helpful in tracking down some very good photo apps, so how about the next stage?
Any ideas? What do you use?
Picasa? There's a few apps that can upload to the google picasa besides the stock gallery. And pretty decent space for free. You can pay for additional space if needed.
google plus uploads all your pics automatically, and there's NO storage limit. Doesn't get much better than that...
Box.com offers a free file hosting service, and when you login from your Android phone until 3/23, you get 50GB lifetime storage for free. It's pretty much like DropBox, but there's no time limit on the storage. I just signed up. It's pretty sweet.

I would also say Photobucket.
Great app, give it a try.
Code:
h**p://alternativeto.net/software/flickr/
I went with box in the end and I am happy with it, I tried a few others first, and as nice as some of them are like picassa, they just don't work as simply as I wanted, and or didn't work.
Box still ahs issues, like I can only upload one file at a time via box app, but I can upload one or as many, tested with 130 files, as I seem to want, and it accepts more than just pics, so handy for backing up my favourite films too.
Thanks for the great link. THANKED

Lollipop Google+ & Photos

Hi there!
As many of you already noticed, the new Lollipop's Photos app doesn't work without Google+.
For many of you will be not a big deal, but for me and may be others too, it's really not god.
In my case I don't need or use Google+ and for worse, it takes a lot of CPU power.
The question is if there is a way or workaround to make the Photo app work without Google+?
Greetings!

Ooop. I see now. Looks to me like the only way is to have it installed just sign out of both apps within settings. Sorry, if I had paid more attention I would have seen that you wanted the app completely gone.

Hey, no worries!
I've tried to use the old Gallery app from KK which actually works without Google+. It shows the photos but the editor doesn't work.
So, the way I see it, Google is forcing people to use Google+...

Try Piktures on Google Play, nice piece of sw
The old Gallery app made my Picasa albums available on my phone. The only way to get this functionality back was to switch to Google+ and the Photos app. So I made the switch. I just didn't set up anything in Google+ and turned off all notifications.

It seems to be a nice software, bur if you want to edit a photo, it takes you directly to the Photos app.

Install Quick Pic its a good gallery app,to edit and go crazy install Pixlr Express.

Oh sorry, didn't think about editing - because I always use Aviary for it (and I suggest it to you too, especially now that are giving every single add-on iAP for free!).
It takes you directly to Photos because you have only that app to edit pictures (I suppose), in my situation (I froze G+ and Photos) when I try to edit a picture it opens automatically Aviary.
Hope this can help, prego!

You need G+ and Photos to see photos and edit them, I replaced both with Piktures and Aviary And trust me, every other editing app has more feature than the stock one (Aviary, Pixlr express, PS, etc)!
