hello,
i've probably spent more than an hour now searching for the answer to my question:
is it possible to directly send a photo via email with my i780? if i press the send button in the camera app it automatically creates an mms, which is not what i want.
if this is not possible with the builtin app, is there any other way?
i'm really disappointed, even my 2+ year old nokia phone could do this out of the box...
thank you!
silly question i know... but you have setup an email account on your phone yes?
yes i did
i'm pretty sure it's the samsung camera app which is causing this. i spent my morning reading the msdn library and have since put together a quick and dirty solution... although i still can't believe that this can't be done with the standard application.
create new email, add your photo as an attachment. (or you can just send the "mms" to the email address)
sending mms to e-mail addresses is 30cents each here, so this is not an option
and of course i can just add my picture as an attachment after: closing the camera, going through the start menu to open messaging, create a new e-mail, select the right picture after selecting the right folder, add text. but this will take a(t least a) minute and is not what i wanted
directly mailing pics should be a standard feature on every phone with a camera...
anyway, if anyone is interested in what i wrote, i'd be glad to give out the source code (there's much room for improvement) on request.
Hi bocki! Can you please tell me how to do your quick and dirty solution. I have the same problem and I want to send a photo taken staright from the camera application. Thanks for letting me know how this works! Can you maybe even post it here? Thank you very much!!!
hey,
i attached the binary i'm currently using to this post. it needs the .net compact framework 3.5 (because i suck at everything else than c# and has currently no error handling at all, so if your device is not supported (which unfortunately i can't try out, it worked on my i780 and on the device emulator, so i guess that's a good sign!) you might even have to softreset...(but probably the app will just crash and nothing else will happen)
on first use, you will have to select the right e-mail account - it gets saved when you close the app and will be chosen automatically on subsequent starts.
if you have any problems, please let me know (it's best if you drop me a pm), i might be able to help!
[edit]new version on the next page, you'll probably want to get the newer one.[/edit]
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful!!!!
Any way I can change the size of the picture I am sending? I believe I can only choose 640. I would love to send a different size, too.
Also: The pictures gets saved into "Eigene Bilder". Anyway I can change the folder name in the registry?
Excellent work!!!! Thank you so much!
hey
glad my program is of use to others as well...
the "eigene bilder" destination is due to me hardcoding the german path, i will think of a better solution
the same goes for the resolution, as i said, this was quick and dirty (and by dirty i mean really really really ugly. ) - but i will fix this.
if you have any knowledge of c#, you may be able to fix this yourself, let me know if you need the sourcecode
i will address these issues as soon as possible and keep you posted!
skipping university in favour of coding was a good idea!
i implemented very basic error handling - if your camera is not supported, you will now get a very generic and vague error message
the same goes for invalid resolutions and folders, which can now be configured after the first start. (the first start will reset the path to \my documents\my pictures and the resolution to 640x480) sorry, no fancy dialogs, you'll have to enter the full path yourself (but you only have to do this once, so i hope this is okay).
any problems or other feature requests? let me know, i'm currently in the right mood
Hi Bocki! Thanks for looking at these issues. I am not too worried about the any of them, the folder is fine with me. But resolution would be very nice. Unfortunately, I cannot program it myself. :-( Thanks again for sharing!
please see the post directly above yours and try out the new version
Oops! I must have missed that, sorry! Great application, Thank you! I found out that if I put in 800*600, the camera starts with 1600 and I can choose my desired resolution. If I put in 1024*768 I don't get a choice. Would be great if one could also determine fine, normal etc...
Dont miss too much Uni, hehe.
Are you currently in Germany?
Hello all that reply. I've been working on the dev. side of things now for awhile but I'm completely lost on the .xml files whats going on is my buddy made this app and I've borrowed to play with (basically so i didn't piss anyone off) all i really want to do is change the name that shows up when the app starts up in the top left corner. Please help any info on this would be great and please break it down I'm new to the .xml world Thank you all
I have XT720 I am using Dexture's ROM I am interested in using features like youtube upload as there is no camera icon coming which can let us shoot and upload nor there is upload feature in settings which helps us to upload from the mobile. There is share feature missing in the gallery to upload to Youtube. Similarly there was feature in gallery to share images to picassa it is also missing. I have alternatives to do it. But this community has made me more demanding. Thanks to all the efforts & good work.
We are here still using XT720 because of you people. It is one of the phone which the company itself has not possibly be able to deliver what is required.
LOL to all who made this possible. Thanks
have if I understand, you need to upload your videos to YouTube after making a recording? If so, you need to have an account created on the website of youtube, and mobile settings will give an address, which you must enter the app from the video camera, and after recording, you can upload them.
You can enter a "quick send" address in MediaGallery too.
thanks to both of you for replying and giving post some of your precious time. I know both of these alternative. I am currently using these only. I am currently willing to uninstall and reinstall the youtube app. As within you tube there is upload trigger. I have signed youtube app as well. It is just unsuccessful to uninstall the version already installed in Dextre's ROM version. I know i am being demanding about specific feature. But thanks to all talented people around the community, they gave me this liberty.
I recently installed root explorer & uninstalled the Youtube.apk from my phone went to market and reinstalled the latest version ( though it was very same version already installed ). Now that i managed to install new version from market it is still not active please someone suggest where should i work to bring this upload feature. I will try to pull this work up. I want to help though i have no much idea. Your kind suggestions might take us a step ahead. Please let me know. Thanks for time and patience with me...
Hei guys.
Are whatsapp images converted to base64 ?
Because you maybe also got a picture for people where the thumbnail is different to the picture ?
i don't want to troll anyone but i just want to know if you know how you can change thumbnails in base64 code ?
Thanks

I've definitely seen one... But have no idea how to make one.
If someone finds... Please shed some light!
It really is easy. Just use the magiapp app.

Hi, I am having trouble adding a photo to a contact and can't find the answer anywhere. I recently bought the phone and just have a few days to return it if it's the phone. I love the phone and hope I don't have to return it. All my Droids have been easy til now. Ok, here's a run down of how I'm doing it.
Touch on contact>3 dots top right>edit>touch blank image of face>choose photo from gallery>touch on photo>there is a dotted square around photo like I'm cropping, touch on the check beside done and says "unable to save photo edits" and a little circle going around like a computer trying to load.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Yeah that's exactly the most complicated way to do that^^
But it worked for me that way you described. What kind of image type is that?
Is it maybe a wrong format?
Take a photo with your camera and try to use this.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks but I already tried that. Must be something wrong with the camera. The image is factory set
Are you on any custom rom? Then ask in that specific thread.
Are you completely on stock? Then try a factory reset. If problem persists then contact Motorola support.
