Can't attach files to gmail /SMS... - Xiaomi Mi 4C

Hi
I'm using the xiaomi.eu rom.
I have quite an annoying issue with my Mi4c: I can't attach a file to an email or SMS.
If I write a new mail, and select the paper clip to attach a file, the screen will refresh and go back to the message list instead of letting me select a file to attach.
The same happens if I write a new SMS, click on the "+" button to attach a picture.
The only workaround is to use a file explorer, select a file and select the share option...but in that case I can only add 1 file to an email.
Is someone facing the same issue?

No, working fine here. Maybe you have deleted/frozen some miui system app?

I haven't deleted anything. I only did a full wipe before installing the xiaomi.eu rom. And the weekly updates don't change anything.

Try to disable the 'docs' app, that helped for me..

Disabling the document app did solve the issue! Thank you!!!
Now I wonder why this happens when it's enabled.

Try a custom email app, such as cloudmagic.

Did anyone try attaching a video?

I can't attach a video to my email using my gmail. After I type an email I click "attach" and it takes me to the Gallery but the videos don't show up. What's going on?
I've also tried attaching a video right after taking it but it says "file too large".
I can attach the same video using yahoo email.
Can anyone explain this to me? Thanks.
Wow, that is a weird one. Not sure if it's a gallery or a gmail bug, though. I'll confirm that videos in the camera folder in the gallery don't show when trying to attach from the gmail app, but videos I have in a synced Picasa album do.
I've just tested it a couple of different ways and both worked. Have you tried either of these?
1) Open the Gallery app, then tap the video you want to send, then select the Share button, then pick gmail. Gmail will open to a new email with the video attached.
2) Use a file explorer app (like Root Explorer) and do the same basic thing as in #1 - browse to, select and share to gmail.
I used test files up to 20mb in size. If you've tried one of these and it's telling you the file is too large, how large is the file? Have you validated that gmail allows attachments of that size?

According to Google Help for gmail, the maximum file attachment size you can send through gmail is 25mb. That's probably your issue.

You're right. So, is yahoo mail - file attachment limit is 25 MB.
I checked the size of the video I've been trying to attach - it is 6.17 MB. And I still can't attach this video when I select it from the gallery.
If I write an email first, and then select "attach" the video does not even show. Pictures do.
Anyone???

I did the first thing and I keep getting message " file too large" although it is only 6.17 MB.
How do you do the second thing - I would need step by step directions. But does it solve my problem?
Thanks!

[app] ScheduledSync sync via dropbox according to schedule

We wrote an app that syncs any files or folders with the help of dropbox according to the schedule.
Now it can only upload files/folders from phone. But it will be able to download from dropbox also soon.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fakeofarty.dropbox.scheduledsync&feature=search_result
not compatible with my HTC Wildfire. Post the APK?
i tried it out with my Samsung Galaxy S and Darky's ROM.
Nice first Version!
When i sync manually, there is only a small popup that says: Upload OK. A Notification would be nice.
Why is there no End-Time when syncing should stop?
Sometimes, when go to Schedule Settings, change the time and go back. And then check the Schedule Settings again, my changes havn't beed saved.
Make it compatible with my Wildfire
Or post the apk
Nice app. Could be nice to have "Sync only if charging" as an option.
This is spectacular! Thanks dude!
Somebody post the APK please
I'm unable to select a folder on my HTC Thunderbolt. I can select individual files, but clicking "Add Folder" doesn't do anything at all. I stay on the same screen.

Hi, apk will be available in 8 hours, when i came to home
Find it on fakeofarty.info
To pick up a folder you need to install ES File Explorer, we're planning to add support of more file managers in the future.

To stop syncing you should remove file from the syncing list, did you mean this?

Syncing starts at the Time set at 'Start at' and repeats every hour (or whatever is set), but when does the syncing ends?
Or do i missunderstand it?
Syncing never stops, until you stop it by pressing "turn off ScheduledSync"
2-way sync??

Thanks for the good idea.
Are u implementing a full two-way sync (including file deletion), or adding a download one-way?
I'm really looking for a full 2-way sync, that's currently missing in the Android space. If you are impleming a proper one, you could be in a very good commercial position!!!
Installed on my galaxy ace... android v2.2... helas...upload sync is NOT working... connection to my dropbox account is ok acc to app... why ? no error msgs...
edit: excuse me... it IS working but you first have to press the 'turn on' button before the 'sync now' is running... which is kind of confusing !
Pls add status message when syncing like animating the wheel f.i. as user has no idea what is happening..
Thanks for the nice app... and awaiting 2way sync..cheers
Force closing
Little bug :
Android force closing the application if I start manually a synchro when phone is plug in USB and it's mount as a mass storage.
PS : Great application for backing up all photos to a dropbox...

[APP][4.2+] Social Contact Photo Sync

Social Contact Photo Sync
Just try this app. It allows to link local contacts with social contacts and to keep the local contacts automatically in sync with a linked social contact.
It supports:
GooglePlus
Twitter
Instagram
Facebook (only with ROOT and the original facebook app)
WhatsApp (you have to force whatsapp to download new pictures by opening a contacts picture in whatsapp, the rest is handled by the app)
Viber (still in there, actually, this is currently not really usable, you can just link a contact with a viber picture, but you can't sync with new picutures)
The app tells you in more detail, what you have to care about, if you want to automatically sync your contact pictures...
Any feedback or suggestion is appreciated.
The app is completely free, the in app purchase just removes the adds. Functionality is free
Get the app from the playstore: Social Contact Photo Sync
Guide/Tutorial: http://www.michaelflisar.com/social-contact-photo-sync-general/
how can i force the app to automatch the contct sync???
Start the batch auto sync setup dialog and click the headers of the groups (like 90 to 100% and so on, all the way down to 0 to 10% if you really want that), this will select the complete group at once. This way you can select all your contacts and use the best match as auto sync contact...
I still advice you to once look through the list and disable or correct all the wrong matches... Afterwards my advice would be to scroll through your contacts and only look at the ones withaut an auto sync contact and if you know you have this friend in one network, manually set up those contacts one by one... This is my prefered way to do it...
PS: a complete guide is online here: http://www.michaelflisar.com/social-contact-photo-sync-general/
Is there any place where I can download older versions? Becuase I wanna test if I am doing something wrong (even if I believe I do the same as earlier) or the last 2 versions are buggy in importing facebook friends via csv copy - getting error code 14.
this error code comes from using the root method normally - just change the root method of facebook to method 3, this one should work (click on the facebook card on the home screen and click setup facebook)
If you really just want to import the csv and don't have a facebook app installed and are not rooted, then just send a feedback via the app after something went wrong...

I am on Android N Preview 3 which is not working with the root method. And meawhile, I realized that the fault is mine, not the app's. I opened the csv file with a different text editor (Solid Explorer's), not with that one which I used earlier (MiXplorer's text editor) and somehow it showed in a different format I guess which I copied and the app didn't like that. I reinstalled MiXplorer, opened the csv file with it, copy paste and now it's importing fine again.

any way to avoid the dinosaur-official fb app?
Either use the non root method or just deinstall the Facebook app again after my app has imported the contacts
Opened WhatsApp image bt nothing happened.
The app says we need to manually open WhatsApp image then share it to this app then select which contact to be changed.

@prom85 Could you please let me know where all the pictures are stored (exact location)?

The new WhatsApp changed in the way that there is no local image I could use anymore... so this new integration is all I can offer...

Whereever your Android contacts app does save it. Normally it's a database.
You can force my app to auto sync all contacts without checking if an image was changed though, go to general settings, click on advanced settings and click on the last entry in the dialog that pops up... afterwards an auto sync will overwrite an contacts image with an active auto sync without checking if the images has changed or not
I just purchased the pro version! I have had android for seven or eight years but never really had correct contact photos so thank you for this wonderful app. It makes it so easy. I noticed this app's logo shows the linkedin logo but syncing with the linkedin network isn't obvious to me. How can I do this?
LinkedIn is not working anymore. I had a root method that worked once, but then they changed their app and now this method is not working anymore.
Official LinkedIn integration is not possible either (via login to LinkedIn), I already tried it but they won't accept my app. As a primary business network they do not accept apps that access data in background without direct user interaction, this is against their usage rules.
I'm still getting the {"code": 403, "error_type": "OAuthForbiddenException", "error_message": "You are not a sandbox user of this client"} when trying to add Instagram. Just wanted to know if everyone else is still seeing this?

Everyone should have this error... LinkedIn changed their usage rules at 01.06.2016, so I had to submit my app again and currently am waiting for approval... I'm not sure if they will though...
I have the same error code.

Strange bug with photo sharing to WhatsApp

MHA-L29 stock everything. Used phone clone from Mate 8 to Mate 9.
I am unable to share photos to WhatsApp. Just does not appear on available share apps. I can however share videos and strangely, I can share two photos.
From gallery, if I select two photos, WhatsApp appears immediately on the share to list. Uncheck one photo and it disappears.
I can however select photos from within WhatsApp so it's not a permission problem. I cannot share from File Manager either.
Thought I might have selected to shoot photos in RAW, but that's not it either, selecting old photos taken with Mate 8 and screenshots doesn't work. Re-installed WhatsApp, re-started, tried again, still no go.
On my mate9 sharing to whatsapp was hidden behind the "more" icon, after using it a couple of times it was visible in the first icons.
Unfortunately it's not that. Selecting two or more photos and WhatsApp appears on the list. Its there for videos and links from Chrome also.
I have the exact same issue with Textra. I was about to post a thread about not being able to share directly to Textra, then found this thread. I hadn't realized that trying to send two photos at once would "fix" the issue, but sure enough, if I select two pictures, Textra becomes an app I can send the photos to.
FWIW, this seems to have been fixed in the USA B167 update that rolled out today.
So strange defect.
Same experience
Hi, I am experiencing the same problem "unable to share a photo to Whatsapp as it is not in the selection list". But fortunately, from the original poster's experience sharing, yes, Whatsapp selection becomes visible if I select 2 photos instead of 1. Unselecting the selected photos back to 1 photo, the Whatsapp selection disappears again. Definitely a weird bug, and thanks to this forum, otherwise, I will never notice that Whatsapp selection will appear if I select 2 photos. By the way, I am already using latest firmware MHA-L29C636B183. Anyway, has anyone found a fix to this yet? Thanks in advance.

[HELP THREAD] File Explorer on some social media is not the same as a gallery, all photos are shuffled and all photo date captions are just one date

#ask
My cellphone has an error suddenly all of my social media get weird every time I want to upload a file, all files that are opened in the social media file manager get messed up, and the description of all files becomes (one date is October 17, 2022) which says "yesterday", all of them so "yesterday".
In the normal gallery, it's just that when you open Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok, etc., there is one date for the photo/video data description.
The problem is that I don't know the keywords when I want to search on Google, so I ask here.
Thanks.
Detailed list of images in the gallery (short by time/date)
List details when selecting files on social media (chaotic, not short by time/date).
When uploading files, try using the same gallery app with everything. In this case Facebook tries to use the file manager recent files. Select your gallery app from within there and you will see it as usual
