Emailing a video with SGS3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, today I took a video with my SGSIII with the stock photo app. Later on I tried to email it with Gmail app, but the video was 40mb and of course was too big to be emailed.
With my previous phone, an iPhone 4s, when I was trying to email a video, it was asked me if I wanted to shrink it automatically.
Anything like that on the Samsung? How to email a video otherwise?
Cheers!

Try to use stock E-mail app, it can sand 50mb video.

Low Resolution contact photos from Facebook app

Hey guys,I am thinking of taking a leap of faith and I'm going to flash CM7 on my phone,but I have a minor issue here.
I use to connect my contacts to Facebook to get their photos when I call them etc.On TouchWiz roms I use the SNS Facebook account to do it and,on my previous HTC devices,I used to use Facebook for HTC Sense.Both do the job well and the photos that appear on my phone's contacts are ok resolution-wise.However,when I try to do the same thing with the Facebook app,resulting photos are low res and terribly pixelated.I assume that I don't have any alternatives for CM,so I'm asking you,can I do anything about it?Not that my decision is going to be based on this that much,but it would be nice to have everything the way I want it.

Update Facebook Photos on Contacts

Hi, after the upgrade to the new facebook app my contacts photos stopped updating along with facebook photos.
I've managed to update the photos by cleaning the facebook cache, going to the facebook app in the friends page and waiting for all the pictures to load up. But this is a very unpleasant thing to do all the time I want a contact picture updated.
Is there any automatic way to update the facebook cache photos so the contacts photos would also update? It would be nice also if I could have an automatic way to make the contacts pick the facebook photos and not the google account ones.
I tried syncmypix, but the photos wouldn't focus on my friends face as facebook does, so many photos were cropped in the wrong place and also would take forever to update. A more intelligent way to update the photos would be appreciated.
I would like to know as well?
You could try deleting the Facebook app, and using an older version?
If that doesn't work, it is a problem with Facebooks stupid sync crap, which doesntvload unless every picture is saved in its local cache.
Another thing, a new Google account without any contacts in it may be a way to go, just before you do, back your phone contacts into a .vcf file.
Hope it helps,

@Chris Hill,
Remove acount, from setting- acounts and then , and check for face book app update, add it once again…
And it should work, for me it`s removed issue…
Also, you will have to load each contact in the FB app at least once for the picture to cache on your phone. Then, if they update their picture in FB, your phone will retain the old one until you load their picture in the FB app again, at least once.
EDIT: FYI, I told this to someone else, and it worked for them.
thanks guys, ill give that a shot
did it work?
Im having the same problem after ics update XXLPQ... no contract picture...
Did it work for you?

facebook app is deleting vids on the fone

Ok for the 2nd time now ive uploaded a video from my S2 to Fb via the share video function to the fb app and now i cant find the video on my fone. Ive tried plugging it into Kies and i still cant see it there. This isn the 2nd unit that has lost a video after i uploaded it to fb.
Typically the video had problems uploading and took several attempts to upload. But now when i go back the the dcim or videos i cant find it anywhere. How can i get the video back? What happened to it? Thanks.
Has anybody else lost videos in the internal storage after uploading to facebook?
Not happened to me, in fact I've never used the video feature. I would be inclined to complain. Send an email to them. Go through Google play and there will be a contact dev email to click on and go from there.
Quit Facebook

[Q] Facebook Woes

Hi Guys,
Got myself a SIII. Rooted it and added superSU according to Chains tutorial..
I have some problems with facebook, and was wondering whether anyone can help..
Firstly, after linking the accounts. Some of the photos appear as blank. Anyone have a clue? Those that have photos, are really blur.
Also, outside app such as Whatsapp are not picking up those contact photos.
I'm moving from an HTC so i am amazed that samsung has this problem. Is there a solution such as "Facebook for HTC Sense".
Am i just doing it wrong? many thanks for any help
Hi.
Your case is the same as mine. I came from the HTC Desire HD, which all the contacts were always synchronized with Facebook, no problems with photos and etc.
I posted the same questions here a few weeks ago, and from what I got, the ICS has some compatibility issues with Facebook, that's why it sync just a few contacts and also the quality is terrible.
The solution that people told me, was to use 3rd party softwares to make this sync. There is quite a few on market that does that. Just look for "facebook photo sync".
The solution I adopted, was to set the photos of facebook for my contacts manually, and I just realized how to do that now. Since I don't have many contacts, I entered quickly on their facebook profile, went to the photo I wanted and selected the option "set as contact photo".
To enter on their contact, I was doing directly by my contact phone list (because the facebook was linked correctly... just the photo that wasn't appearing).
The quality with that also gets better and when I enter on What's App now, is everything fine.
Hope it helps!
Where'd you get that baby?

Here are two softwares that does that:
Haxsync :

FriendCaster : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.senab.blueNotifyFree
Here is the topic I made with some other answers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1682103
Those two apps didnt work really well for me. The app that worked best for me was an app called "Contact Picture Sync". Did everythin i wanted.
Thanks for all the help guys
