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....

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.
Hey there,
Had to pay my bill today online and I noticed that there was an outstanding message.
Message is :::
"Picture Mail online storage is being discontinued 4/30/12. It's important you move the pictures and videos you want to keep to your PC or to your favorite photo or social networking site before 4/30/12. Visit sprint.com/picturemail for more information." ::::
So, just incase you have any stored on there you might want to d/l them to a local source when you can. I already checked mine and lost a whole bunch bc it seems their doing it little by little. Was just giving everyone a heads up so to speak. Honestly, not really at all bothered by this as I didn't like the fact that all pictures messages were saved no matter what you ( the customer ) chose. If you ask me its a good thing. I didn't like big brother always knowing what has been received nor sent. LOL
Also, for those of you who didn't know, if you did have a picture message but made an accidental delete, you still have a chance to retrieve them now before it gets to late. ( if it was during the last 45 days or somn like that)
Anywayz, sure a lot of people received the message but just putting it out there for those that didn't. Hope it helps ...
Z ..........
Good find. I didn't realize I had a bunch of saved pictures on there. Now they're safe and sound on my phone.
Thanks!
Didn't realize that people actually used that. Don't think I even have log in credentials for it.
Where can I access this from my phone?
I had to look this up also as I have never accessed it before. I didn't have any photos on the site.
LINK
is there a way to see pics i received?
While none are saved unless you personally do it, it tracks every picture mail you ever sent or received for a few months.
I used it a lot since I flash new ROMs and sometimes forget to save the images.

just use your normal browser and if you do not have your login info, hit the " no send me password" and they will send it to you via text or email. ( not sure what you have set up for notifications) and then logon as normal. This is from what I've been told but maybe someone that needs to do this can confirm?
thanx,
Z ..........
I went on that site last year and it had pics I uploaded way back when I was using the Sanyo 8100 10 years ago...so yeah..while you're on a different OS and time where sprint uses mms..back then they didn't...so all those picture mail pics are there.
Is S-beam compatible with other 4.0 phones or is android beam on the s3 aswel because it seems like a missed opportunity to limit s-beam to just the s3

I was pretty surprised to learn that Google didn't do it with the Galaxy Nexus back then, i always thought that establishing a Bluetooth or WiFi link through NFC was a "Well duh"-opportunity for transferring large files.
But no, S-Beam (i.e. using NFC to establish a WiFi-direct link and transfer large files) will only work on devices supporting S-Beam.
But it's probably relatively easy to add to AOSP or maybe even as an app.
So there's the standard sharing of small data packets with NFC (Android Beam), and then using it to set up WiFi-Direct and transferring lots of data (S-Beam).
Am I correct in thinking that the S-Beam app has retained this normal NFC functionality, while adding to it. For example, I can share a contact with any NFC phone, but in order to share a video I will need two phones with S-Beam?
I am sure that Android Beam will support setting up WiFi-Direct soon. At that point S-Beam is coming straight off my phone!

I'm actually curious to see which "beam" does what. My GS2 now has NFC and I was testing it the other day with my buddies GNex.. I started by sending a web page but then we tried YouTube videos.. it transferred ..and fast as hell too. Pretty neat stuff. It'll be neat to see what S beam has over android beam

You lost me. It didn't send a link, it sent the video. There was no need to click on a link after the video was sent. The video played automatically. You can slice it however you want, but it still sends the video. I touched to beam and it beamed.. video played on the other device, and yes, the actual video itself, not a link.
Sorry but I don't know what you mean by it didn't send the video. The video went from my phone to his. If that's not transferring a video from one device to the next then what is?

I think that's because Android Beam automatically handles certain bits of information in certain ways. If you send a YouTube link then the receiving phone recognises that it's a YouTube link, opens up the YouTube app and plays it. You are right when you say you don't have to click a link. It's done for you automatically.
Take for example the sharing of a location. It doesn't pop up with an address in a box, instead it recognises that it's an address and opens the Maps app automatically.
If you want to test whether it's truly sending the video then copy a file (.avi or something similar) to your sdcard and try to send that between phones. So long as it's not affiliated with YouTube I think you will find it wont work!

I guess I'm thinking about it in simple terms.. I pulled up a video, tapped beam, and video showed up on the other phone.. if sending the video works this way, what would be the benefit of trying to do the other way? (Also isn't it much easier to use beam, then to copy files and such to your SD card to send?) Why would you go through the trouble of doing that?..to show that its not actually sending the video? I just don't see the point. Especially if it works as is

Not every video in existence is on Youtube, maybe you want to share a video you recorded but don't want to share it with the rest of the world, S-Beam makes that possible.

Umm.. Have a little respect.
used my S3 to send this.
Android Beam, like previously stated just sends "links" and very small pieces of data like contacts. Android Beam (NFC) has a low transfer rate, therefore sending a video or a large picture - I cannot 'beam' a picture i've taken from my gnex to a GSII, I get the error that the file is too large. That being said, android beam does just send a direct link to the YouTube video you are sharing and the receiving device opens the YouTube video directly. S-beam in contrast uses wi-fi direct to send large files. S-beam, when being used between two GSII devices, will use NFC to open a connection to the receiving GSIII, negotiate to use wifi direct if it is a large file, then open a wifi direct connection between the two devices to send the data. using wifi direct the GSIII is able to transfer large files at very fast transfer rates, up to 300MBs i believe.
NFC , android beam, is only capable of sending small amounts of data, like stated above. Hopefully, and I havent searched yet so it may be in the works now, Android Beam will incorporate the same functionality of S-beam and open a wifi direct connection between any two devices that support NFC and wifi direct. Personally, I dont understand why this isnt already implemented with Android Beam, but i'm sure this will be possible very soon. S-Beam, to me, seems pointless unless you know a whole lot of people who have GSIII's. I'm sure most phones coming out will have NFC support, so being able to transfer videos. pics, etc via NFC and WiFi direct will be a very appealing feature.
I bought the GSIII for my girlfriend this week, being that i only know a few people who have Galaxy Nexus' i have only used the Android Beam feature a few times and this was just to see how it worked. I was very disappointed when I found that I couldnt transfer pics to my girlfriends GSIII with my nexus.... HUGE let down.
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

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.

Hello, I'm having an issue regarding NFC beam. I tried to use this feature for the first time yesterday. I tried to transfer a few different items between my EVO 4G LTE ( stock w Jellybean) and a Samsung Galaxy S III. they seem to connect and my phone shows the progress of the file transfer go to 100% but then says "beam did not complete". The galaxy S can receive and save files fine from my phone. Is there anything i can do to fix this? or s this a known issue?
Any help appreciated, thx,
I believe Samsung uses S Beam to send media, which the Evo does not have. I think the Evo uses Android beam to send contacts, web links, youtube links etc. Thats about all you can send.
Brand new feature! But not much functionality with this phone...
It works well with wallet, NFC tags, and YouTube links. But I'd like to be able to use it for pictures, videos, and apps, etc...

You can do all that, but only between 2 HTC phones. Like the other post said, Samsung can't send it to you but you can send to them.
