[Q] Uploading images - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I've noticed something a tad strange with photo uploads. I can't confirm but it seems to me it started happening when I started using JB builds of AOKP and CM10. When I upload an image directly from my phone to Google+ (the two big ones I noticed), they are very low resolution. Has anyone else experienced that?

EDIT: Uploaded image from my phone was fine to these forums, perhaps it's just a Google+ thing - at which point I'd assume it's an app issue. Anyone else seeing similar behaviour?

I don't use G+, but my photos upload to Dropbox and I haven't had any issues with resolution/image quality at all. I'm guessing it's a G+ app specific issue or a setting or something like that.

Thought it might be something like that - no settings that I can see, maybe it's just not playing nice with JB.

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?

Ninja Rom Q&A

As some of you have come from the captivate know what I did there with Rom Q&A threads. I am doing the same here. In an effort to clean up the site. All Rom related question shall from now on be posted in the proper Q&A or will be deleted on sight.

sound issue-
i can hear two seconds roughly, of static evertime my phone makes a noise, the system clicking noise.....any sound while playing a game. i can hear it over headphones, or on the main speaker. also, when my headphones are on and im cliking through my music library, i hear it. its not really a big issue, more of an annoyance and something i havent encountered before. but i would like to fix it if possible.
If you have any questions about Ninja, please post them here. The team will be happy to answer your questions the best we can. Thanks Zel for setting this up!!
I think this is a great thread. It should be added to the initial post on the Ninja page so that noobs have a place to go with questions. Is there anyway to post the Q/A's from the development thread and list them here so that the same questions aren't asked again?
.flv files
Maybe its me, but with the other Phoenix roms (on the captivate) I could play .flv files, not from the stock video player, but I had download another, Act 1 player, or something like that. On this rom I have to use Moai FLV player, which is annoying and skips. Any thoughts on why the system doesn't recognize those anymore?
Thanks

I tested mine, I was not able to recreate the issue you are experiencing. Sound seems ok for me.

I didn't look back in the other thread, but did you download a fresh copy of Ninja before? It seems you've had many issues. Also, if you download to the computer, make sure you have a good USB cable and USB port on the computer. Make sure you aren't using a USB breakout box. Those don't always work well. Also, have you tried the Lordmod kernels? The newest one, 6.8 seems to work well.

Have you tried Mobo Player? https://market.android.com/details?id=com.clov4r.android.nil&feature=search_result I used to use Act 1 myself, but Mobo has played anything I have thrown at it. Better interface and more features too!

I am having the same problem as the person above. My data kicks off when i receive or try and download a MMS. I have not tried to send one. It take a min for the data to come back after it has kicked. Also I'm using the two APN's from the op.
Quick question guys. Today my phone started all of a sudden started acting weird. Mobile data barely works though my guess is its the network yesterday It was fine but was slow and today even worse. I also noticed my gallery app wont display my pics. It just shows blank transparant blocks. Lastly go launcher suddenly lost my custom icons when I rebooted.
Running ninja 716 with 6.8 bfs. I haven't changed/ added anything new. This was just sudden. Anybody experience this. This rom has never given me problems

Hero and Instagram

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

Took over 2k pictures over the last 2 weeks.

The night before I took off for home I had them all. I was looking through my albums on the plane only to find that 90% of my pictures were gone. Where could they have gone? Were they some how deleted?
wow, that sucks! have you looked for them in your file explorer? maybe they're still there, but not showing up in your gallery

I remember that happening to me too in the beginning. Now I just make sure all my foto's are instantly uploaded to a cloud. I've never figured out
where the pictures go to but it's a strange phenomenon.
I'm not sure why it happened, but if you had Google+ installed and allowed Instant Upload, you can access Google+ from a computer and all your pictures should be there in your Instant Upload folder.
I did have that set up. About 5 pictures were saved.

i'm having the same problem with facebook and instagram pictures not loading since Wednesday or Thursday. It works fine on wifi though, but not on 4G. I was using the BoneStock rom and then switched to BeansRom with a full clean install, still have the problem. I'm getting great 4G speeds on speed tests can stream HD youtube videos fine with no buffering and Google+ app flies and pictures load instantly. Just facebook not loading pictures in newsfeed and also most contact pictures not loading and instagram, same story. Have no idea what the problem can be.
I'm also having this problem. I just use the web browser version of fb for now.

It doesn't work on some roms. Use haxsync from the playstore. It works awesome, and you get full resolution pics, unlike the default Facebook sync.

I think we're talking about two different things here...
Are you talking about in app pictures, such as what's posted on the timeline? Because I sometimes have to wait for a minute or two for them to actually load. This is not an android 4.3 issue, as its been happening for me for months.
If its a Google contacts Facebook picture you're talking about, then that's never ever EVER worked properly for some reason, and the user above who suggested haxsync is spot on, it works great.
