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!

How do you exactly do that? Thanks.
So I have about 200 emoticons, gif's, ect that i will want to trans to new phone that I use in texting. I did see the jpeg in Zune, but not any of the Gif files. Does wp7 not handle gif files even for messaging?
My question is when you hit the attach button in messaging what are the options it gives you besides camera? If it opens pics are there catagories it gives you to narrow down what you are looking for or do you end up searching thru your hundreds of pics plus all of your contacts facebook stuff too?
Thanks for answers in advance.

when you hit the attach in messaging you get camera roll, saved pictures, individual skydrive folders, individual facebook albums (every album has it's own tile in the picture hub and includes folders for mobile uploads, profile pictures, wall photos). So if you create a folder with emoticons on skydrive or on the phone you will see a tile just for your emoticons and you only need a couple taps to get to what you need.
Thanks, so any problems using gif files for mms? Those files didn't automatically load to Zune when everything else did.

haven't played with gif files. If I had a problem with gif, I'd just batch convert them to jpg or png (if you need transparency). I don't think ani(mated) gifs will work, but I could be wrong
Hi folks, I've taken a few handwritten notes, several pages long each, using the stylus on my note Pro. When these files are uploaded to Evernote and I try to view them on my desktop computer, the resolution appears very low and they are unreadable. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Yep it sucks.
What I've done is just given up on Evernote for now and I'm using Papyrus along with enabling the premium features in Papyrus which allow full use of tools, PDF export and cloud sync. With the PDF export function I'm able to push notes to Evernote for syncing. The cloud sync to Dropbox also works great with the only downfall being the extremely long sync durations of 12 hours which means you have to go into settings and manually force sync if you need something right away.
Other than that the Papyrus note application is great.
Hi, and thanks for the idea, I'll look into Papyrus premium.
What a pain though...
Is there a way to export high rez versions of the notes I have taken already with the Samsung note app?
I've been using Note Anytime and sending the files through email. I'm disappointed with Evernote..
You could use lecture notes with pdf exports.

Hi, I used to have the same problem, but I found a workable solution since I really do like the S Note / Evernote combo: When you have finished with your note, save it, give it a usable name, and then use the S Note built in Share option, and simply share it to Evernote using pictures (haven't tried the PDF option, or any other, yet). You'll get beautiful high res images in Evernote! And you can do that with all your existing Notes as well!
Hope this helps, good luck!
You can do the same with LectureNotes, there is also an option for directly exporting into Evernote but I haven't tried it.

Instead of using S-Note (which really is unusable when opened in Evernote on a Mac), think about using the new handwritten note function of Evernote for Android. It does not have the same functionality but the handwritten notes are stored in high resolution. You get perfectly readable large notes in Evernote on a Mac.
Why share to ever note from s note? Ever note sync is built in.
You may need to share S-view files because if you simply sync them to Evernote then the files are unreadable on a computer, due to low resolution.
I tried sharing from S-view, selecting PDF and clicking Evernote, and presto it worked like a charm, synced automatically and very readable.
I also tried the sharing an image file via email and the resolution appeared to be a bit better but the file size was significantly larger, plus you need to merge the .png files into a pdf, adding another step. I would only use this when resolution is of utmost importance.
Thanks for the assistance of the above posters, I hope this helps others to figure out what is best for their needs.

You could get the s Note pc application. Then view the files natively, Snote Sync stores 2 files in ever note. one for the galaxy to read and the other that sucks

Thanks, that's good to know and very annoying!
Hello; i have restaured part of my user data from a backup. SMS have not been restaured (and it does not matter; so for now, all my chat history is empty). I have restaured Chomp via Titanium.
When sending images via MMS, I have a strange issue.
Image sent is the one I want, but, the miniature shown in the conversation, on the sent side, is a different image I had sent years ago. When i tap, full screen image is fine, and, image received by peer is also fine. But for some reason, the miniature is wrong. I have spent hours .... not finding where they are stored. I have tried
/data/data/com.p1.chompsms/files/
/data/data/com.p1.chompsms/cache/gtc/
/data/user_de/0/com.p1.chompsms/code_cache/
/sdcard/chomp/
/sdcard/Android/data/com.p1.chompsms/cache/
/sdcard/Android/data/com.p1.chompsms/files
and removed all images (with legacy extensions) from there; did not help; sending new images still show old miniatures.
I fear to try
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/
/data/user_de/0/com.android.providers.telephony/
I am not sure how this is structured.
Miniature shown in Chomp does not seem to be reused by other SMS apps, so, I don't think it's stored in the provider folder. But I am not 100% certain.
Running out of ideas ...
Hi,
Let us assume we buy a new phone and copy the old phone to the new one, using the phone's native mover app (Mi Mover for Xiaomi, Samsung Smart Switch, etc). All the images and videos are transferred, including some WhatsApp folders: "WhatsApp Animated Gifs", "WhatsApp Video" & "WhatsApp Images". We can see those 3 folders containing all WhatsApp Images and Video on our "Image" or "Gallery" app on the new phone.
Since the transfer procedure was not transferring WhatsApp chat, we usually tried to restore all WhatsApp chats from GDrive backup (assuming we have the most current WhatsApp backup at GDrive).
What happens to the existing WhatsApp Image, Video, and Animated Gif that was previously transferred by a native 'mover' app if we restore WhatsApp backup from GDrive?
Will we have 2 copies of the same image and video files?
Or will the restore from GDrive replace old images and video from the previous restore procedure using the native backup-and-restore app?
If our WhatsApp backup size (Including images and video) has a huge size, then it is a bad idea to have 2 copies of similar images and videos in the new phone.
Thanks for the answer and suggestion.

Whatsapp encrypts user data, they have their own methods of backing up and restoring user data. Other, 3rd party methods can't handle the encryption that WhatsApp uses.
