New guy with a ? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone. I have a question. Is there an app or any way to send video you've taken (NOT using the MMS setting!) say to facebook or email it to someone? I took a 4 second test video and tried to open it with gmail and it said the file was too big to attach.
Just wondering if anything was out there.
Great site, by the way. Also, I'm pretty new to this so don't mind me if I ask dumb questions. I only ask because I want to understand.
Thanks,
Dan

Why not upload to youtube and then you could send a link to the video?

Never tried that. Will it allow uploads of the bigger video files NOT in the MMS format?

I've uploaded like 5 minute videos taken with my phone. Only downside is to upload you need wifi since the files are so large.

[Q] ***SOLVED*** My HTML Website Not Visible On Android ***SOLVED***

***SOLVED THANK YOU mohit1234 ***
Hello everyone. I recently recoded the HTML on my two websites. The sites show up perfectly on PC, Macs and iPhones but when I go to the sites on an Android device, all I see is the background colour of the website. The .jpg in the center of both pages is not visible at all.
I'm not sure if it has to do with the pixel size of the images (1024x768 which is pretty standard) as per what WebKit can deal with for smaller screens of mobile devices (although the sites show up on iPhone so maybe this isn't the issue), the positioning of the image (centered), or have I missed the boat on extra code I need to add regularly to sites nowadays since surfing the net on phones has become more of a regular thing?
As a new member of XDA, I am not allowed to post links in my questions yet. Please respond and I will link you to the sites if you even need me to.

I just saw the source code of the websites, and both seem to be just a plain image. However the code doesn't look well coded There are some issues. (not sure if those are because of your html files or the "view page source" option in Chrome).
Firstly there is no need for CSS as u have only one image. Just center align the image. Put the image within the body tag. And put the bgcolor in the body tag.
If you need help, PM me the html files and I'll fix it for you

Won't be a problem with flash. The website doesn't have any flash. Plus if it did, it wudnt work on the iPhone
For some reason a background image doesn't want to show at all. I tried css code from W3Schools similar to what you had and also tried the old school HTML background and neither wanted to work in Dolphin.

I have a fully up to date HTC Desire HD, so yes I have Flash Player installed. But the site has no Flash so it doesn't matter.

I have already tried cleaning up the HTML and uploading new files to the site but I just end up re-uploading that old file, which I agree is not coded very well, because when I upload a cleaner HTML file I see a question mark in a blue box where the .jpg should be when I go the websites. At least with the old file uploaded I just see the background colour and not a blue box with a question mark in it. Which adds to the mystery even more. I was doing exactly what you suggested yesterday before anyone had even replied here.

I also tried using W3Schools yesterday and they were coming up with the same simplified code that I mentioned above which ended up giving me a blue box with a question mark in it as opposed to just the background colour as I am seeing it now with my old files uploaded.
And now, to add to the confusion, I downloaded Opera Mobile and the websites look fine in that browser. So they look normal in Opera Mobile, but not in the stock browser or Dolphin HD. This is very strange. Could it have to do with the size of the image being loaded? I know Opera applies compression so this is all I can think of.

The box with the question mark is usually due to the image being missing or if the link to the image is wrong or its unable to access the image. The size of the images won't matter. I've viewed much larger images with no issues on the stock browser. I tried it on Miren Browser, but that didn't work either.
One thing you could do is, instead of using another host for images, why don't you keep the images with the html files and change the image URL to the name of jpg. Not sure if that would work, but you can give it a shot.

You know what, I don't know why I didn't do that from the start. What a stupid mistake. You are right. The site loads now on all browsers. Thank you mohit1234 for pointing out my ridiculous error haha.
Now, how do I mark this thread as solved / closed? I'm new here this was my first post. And should I do anything else to help myself out of the "beginner" level? I have "Thanked" everyone for their responses.

You can't exactly close the thread, only MODs/Admins can do that.
But just edit the first post and add the word "SOLVED" to the end of the title.
And if you want, you can add the solution in the first post.

Gallery Share

For some reason I remember seeing a feature where you could be with a group of friends and all taking pictures and they all shared to the each others gallery. I don't think it was s beam it was something where they were basically in a shared gallery. Can anyone help??
Open the camera and change shooting mode to 'Share Shot'. You need all your friends to have SGS3s for this to work.

Hopefully one of the devs can get photo share working on the s2. It's a great feature to just be locked to only the s3.

Video mail-Help

I've had the OG evo, 3d and now lte.
How do I send videos through text messages? It's a short video, under 20 seconds. I trimmed it to be short(video of my 3 month old laughing). I watch my father in-law with his iPhone, take a video and then text it. Just like our phone can compresses pictures, the iPhone compresses his videos.
My video is 9mb now, if can compress and send via sms.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

New to the EVO LTE
I hate to dig up and old post, but people were less than friendly in the E4GT forum at times and I wanted to provide people with the idea that I do research a little before I post:
I need to get videos from a friend who has the same device as me, EVO LTE no rooted, from phone to phone. We only see each other during Jiu Jitsu and these are videos of my last tournament so I would like to have them.
We have tried:
Bluetooth (My device wasn't found, I have been on MeanROM he is stock)
Email (Videos are too big)
MMS (same issue as email)
Facebook (he could post them to his wall, but then I would have to get them off of there)
NFC (I am no dummy, but I couldn't figure out how to work it, plus the file is most likely too large)
Any help would be appreciated or other troubleshooting would help also. I am really just looking to brainstorm if there is no direct answer.
Maybe upload to Dropbox, SkyDrive, SugarSync or some other type of cloud type service or maybe one of the free web based servers like Mediafire, Hotfile, Rapidshare, etc... Just a matter of how large the files are.

Yea that was my last option, he is so unsavy technically. But I have an account I thought if I just logged in from his phone then upload the particular videos, I was just concerned about auto-loading some of his other files.

The sms/mms app compresses automatically. When i send something too large i get the animated circle and a message that says compressing.

Only short videos that are taken from the MMS setting will send either way, so pretty much these listed above are the only options....

[Q] Send picture with Whatsapp

Hi, a vendor told me I couldn't send a picture directly from gallery (without opening Whatsapp apk). I can't believe it. Can somebody tell me if it's possible?

Yes, is possible to send picture via whatsapp directly from the galery.
Hi, is it possible to send pictures wich are not in the camrea rolls library? Like Screenshots?
Yes, you can.

Yes, you can send pictures from any accessible place but not screenshots. Screenshots are of png format and most apps (like whatsapp) dont recognize it.
First time when I wanted to share my homescreen with a friend, I couldnt. Later I realized it is not a phone issue but with app and supported extensions.
If you want to send a screenshot to someone, upload it to skydrive first. Once upload go back into whatsapp, then attach the photo from the skydrive folder

Thanks, but I really think that this is something that the operating system should fix. I just put a suggestion in the wp8 official suggestions app...
Saleh
its not an extension issue, its a whatsapp/wp8 issue because for some odd reason it wont allow you to attach from the screenshot from that specific folder, it could be that microsoft doens't allow access for 3rd party apps to this specific folder or most likely a problem with whatsapp it self.

There is nothing to be fixed in the operating system with this matter...
Whatsapp has to implement png support...
Also png is a much better format for screen shots than jpg...
on jpg you will get fragmentation from the compression...
png is pixelperfect!
Whatsapp Update
Hi folks,

Error: File size is big

Hi..
I have recorded a video which i tried to send through Whatsapp but i couldn't because the size is big. Is there any APP that would re-size it or like send it into more than one file (partition it)?

Hi. It is really sad, you know, that such phone like I9300 is so popular. Why? Because it is given as the Christmas gift, Frist Confession, Hanukkah and plenty other occasions to the peoples who:
1. Are too lazy to find easiest solutions by themselves
2. Are too pathetic to recognize even that this is NOT I9300 specific question, but generic Android one
This is XDA forum, you know... in theory, developers, troubleshooting of the mess created by unusual actions like overclocking, customizations etc.
But, OK, if your mom in at work, your nanny is busy with her boyfriend, let me help you.

I am truly sad that you had to trouble your hand in writing all of what you wrote.
I have already used Google and found several app's but it wasn't what i wanted exactly that's why i asked. I am not very sure why ur sad to help someone who of course ha looked and searched before asking!
The form and this section is for people to ask, so why you are sad again?

Video Editor on the Play store is my only suggestion .Or take the video to PC and cut it .
As you say Google search found nothing suitable i wont mention any of the apps found .

Well, I'm guessing that you bought this phone new, and as a result you have 50gb of free Dropbox storage.
Why don't you upload whatever video you want on your Dropbox account and then send the public link to who ever it is that you wanted to send it to?
All of this can be done directly though the phone, so it shouldn't be so much of a hassle.
In the even that you got this phone off the second hand market, you have (AFAIK) 5gb of free storage on Google Drive, which is also hooked automatically to your Gmail account, so you could also use that.
Just trying to be helpful, good luck on your Android adventure.
