Talk about hassle, I can't even get the upload attachment to work in forums. The choose file button does not even work on this site. On another forum I get upload error.
I thought Google would at least make it easy to share picture publicly on the web, but i don't see anywhere the URL location of the pictures are at, nor is it easy to grab them from the browser interface. (i.e. 'copy image location' like found in Firefox on Mac/Windows browser)
If anyone could share their success stories, and ways that manage to easily share pictures on their tablet to the web it would be helpful.
easy. just use opera mobile. that's what I always use. like lets say you make a post here. then you want to upload a pic as an attachment. just scroll lil ways down n press manage attachments. then you will go to another screen with blank fields that above them say upload file from computer. Press the "choose" tab next to blank field. once you do a mini file explorer type thing will appear up top. you look through it and click on the one you want. it'll close and take you back to upload your file screen. Now you press upload. it'll upload your pic or file. then scroll down and press close window. it'll take you back to your page where making the post. just finish and press send reply. BAM, now you posted and attached s pic or whatever to it thru the prime. I do it all the time.
I attached a screenshot below of the upload your file screen just in case for reference and a pic of what you should see after you press choose in opera mobile.
This is just one of the many great things about Android. On my Ipad I had to jailbrake. then go to cydia to download a uploader mod for safari and a downloader mod. Stock Ipad n safari don't let you do this simple task that Android does out the box. my Ipad now jailbroken can do all the stuff android does but I had to hack it alot to be possible.

Does anyone know about any programs that you can click and hold on a link in an email and pick what internet browser you want to use to open that link. I get a lot of emails and have three different browsers on my phone. Each one works great for certain things.
I see 60 people have looked at this. Does anyone else want to be able to do this with there phone or am I the only one?
Click and hold, I have no idea about. I accidentally got the ability to pick which browser when I installed JZ SmarTMort while trying to get a clipboard history -- it uses MortButtons to bring up a menu. You can get it here, if that sounds like what you want.
I only ever use it to select "Opera Mobile 9", but it is nice to know the options are there for when I eventually stop being lazy and use them.
That was just what I wanted. Thank you so much for finding it.
So I’ve Installed a few of the new ICS Sense based ROMs and I love them but the only issues I have with them is with the new HTC Sense browser. It appears some features were removed. One feature in particular that I use very often is the “long press” share as options. For those of you not familiar with what I’m speaking of, while web browsing and you’ve stumble upon a image that seems super interesting and cool and you want to share it with friends. All you have to do was long press on the image and four options would popup. “Save Image” “View Image” “Set as Wallpaper” & “Share Image”. Once you click on “Share image” you can select your favorite MMS/SMS app and the image instantly shows in the edit text box. Not a link to the image to where its stored online but a actual thumbnail view of the image would be inserted. I really enjoy this feature because sometimes it’s a pain to save file, go into the gallery, search thru the gallery to locate the image, then to pull up the option to share it. It’s super convenient to share the image with 1 or 2 steps vs 4 to 5 steps by selecting the “Save image” option.
So, my question is how can I a. Install a HTC Sense 3.0 browser on one of the new ICS Sense ROMs, I’ve tried to install the browser.apk but no luck. It will not install and run. Or B. How can I implement the long press “Share Image” option into one of the new ICS Sense ROMs.
Thanks A million.
I don't know if you are in love with the sense browser, but there may be another browser (like Dolphin, Boat, etc) that has this feature.
Thanks coal686
I forgot to mention in my original post that I've tried both Opera and Dolphin and neither one of those browsers give the option to "Share Image" or anything of that sort when long pressing on the image.
Unlike Sense 3.0, that option is available. (see attached image)
Is there a way this feature can be implemented into Sense v3.5 and greater?
i heard that they removed the feature with ice cream sandwich. There is no getting it back. Its not on any manufacturer's browser. I missed the feature so much i went back to gingerbread.
from what i read, they removed the option to make sure they are not going to get sued by Apple. Just like they removed the local search from the galaxy nexus.
It's been 5 months since the last reply... any updates on this matter?
has anybody reached a reasonable solution?
I just got my One X+... i used to own a Desire HD before this, and I was perfectly happy with the old browser!!! (if possible, i'd like to install it on the one x+ somehow, if that will solve my "share image" problems... i should google to see if someone has uploaded the old browser apk somewhere and if it's "insatallable" even)
Rooting my phone is out of the question too. It's a brand new phone, and i don't want to risk bricking it, or not getting OTA updates.
I share images a lot, particularly during chat (Whatsapp), and having to download every single image, then go all the way to the gallery to look for the image and share the image is an extreme hassle, not to mention the fact that i later have to clean up the downloaded pix too!
let me go google for that Browser apk now!
Ya'll let us know if u find a solution to the sharing issue.
btw. One X+ came pre-installed with Google Chrome (browser)... that one doesn't have the sharing option either.
Before buying my One X+, I used to own an HTC Desire HD.
In the Internet app, whenever I wanted to share a picture (say on Whatsapp, GMail, Viber or any other program) I used to long-press on the image, and from the popup menu, I would select "share image with", then from the new popup screen I would choose the program I want to choose said image from.
Now, with Jellybean, my only options are to:
Save image
View image
Set as wallpaper
or
Share link
no "share picture"
And unless I'm mistaken, this should be bugging a whole lot of other people too, as this is not limited to the Internet app, but the same applies to Chrome (where the only 3 options for an image long-press are "save, open or open in new tab"
Because of this, I now have to save the file, go to Whatsapp or to the Gallery app, select the picture, and share the picture, then when i'm done, i have to delete the pic from the gallery, because well... i don't like to pile up stuff i no longer need.
I searched the forum and the web, and couldn't find a fix for it.
Which is worse, either very little people are raising this issue, or I'm unable to find these posts... everybody with Jelly Bean is suffering from this problem, but Googleing for "share image with option directly from browser on Jelly Bean" doesn't really yield that many relevant results! The keywords are just too generic!!!
So my question is: Can this situation be remedied by some sort of add-on to Chrome Mobile, a custom apk that modifies Chrome's sharing options or something???
PS: I know I can share the URL of the picture, but that's not the point now, is it? I want to be able to share the picture, not its URL.
Update: I just installed Firefox Browser for Android, and it has the option to share an image directly from the browser! It's a pity I won't be using Chrome anymore since it's super fast and it allows for bookmarks sharing between my laptop and phone, but well... I guess I'll have to make do with Firefox for now.
I don't get it though... why would Firefox have the option enabled and Chrome be so retarded that way? Pity! Firefox even has an extension that allows for a full-screen experience, like with the Internet app!
Chrome needs to improve on these basic stuff real soon!!! For many, like myself, not being able to directly share images from the browser is a deal-breaker (as soon as I found a browser that could)
Sometimes I run across an image or an article that I would like to keep for a while, so I would usually save the picture and then upload it to my Google+ as a post. However I would sometimes run across an image gallery with lots of pictures but I wouldn't be able to save it. I used Chrome to print it as a pdf file but then it would break it into multiple pages breaking the format.
The reason I would want to do this is because I just feel one day the site maybe taken down or the author removes the article.
Images don't even show up on Google Photos or in the photo gallery unless you tap on the "download complete" notification and even then you don't have the option to edit the photo like with other photos. I pressed the share button and it sent a bin file on Discord. Even if you long press the image from the search result and press share, the link doesn't even generate an image preview on Discord.
Greetings fellow pocket computer enthusiast,
Iv'e encountered the same issue many times with images and other files, seems to be related to the browser but it only happens on some websites, could be a chrome bug or something about how certain sites handle downloads for mobile devices.
As of now, a somewhat annoying but working fix is to rename them manually everytime this happens.
Best regards,
David
