[Q] Instagram on ICS Stock crashes - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I have been searching for a while now but I cannot find anything on this.
Instagram continiously crashes on my S3 . It zooms, but pressing the shutter button its not responding and basically I cant take any picture with it.
Other camera apps and stock app works, but I have no idea where this comes from. The app works on my evo3d and my hd2.
Any tips, hints?
Thanks

[REQ] HD Video Camera APK

Can someone pull the apk from j16 for the HD Video Camera? I had j16 but my phone had issues, so I reverted back to stock and rooted and lag fixed and my phone flies, 2200+ quad score, so im loving it. Just curious if someone can pull that from j16
Thanks
Just curious, why dont you just download the rom and pull it?
Not being rude, just asking
I just downloaded bionix j16 rom and there was no HD Camera apk, there was a camera apk and camera firmware, but no where was there a hd camera apk file
That's because the HD Camcorder icon is not an app but rather just a shortcut to video cam activity of the pre-existing camera app that was always there in JFD. Since some folks didn't realize the HD Cam was there, Samsung just made it more prominent. This is how I understood things anyway.
What resolution is HD 720/480 or 1280/720 im using bionix fusion.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
HD is 1280 x 720
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
1280/720 is HD.
Anyone able to pull this apk yet?

You've always had it, it never disappeared.
Long press on home screen>Shortcuts>Activities>Camera>Camcorder
Call it HD Camcorder if it makes you feel better. As long as the resolution of the recording is set to 1280x720 it will record in HD
Thank you I was wanting that back also. I have a one year old girl and it makes it so much easier to have a shortcut for camera and video that I can hit 2 buttons instead of 3 not a great big deal but you know how kids are one second cute and cuddely the next not so.

Small problem... No activites in the shortcut...
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Activities is something that comes with LauncherPro, so if you're not using that you wont see that menu option.
You can download the app "Bettercut" and use it to link to the Camcorder.
Long press home -> Shortcut -> Bettercut -> All Activities -> Camcorder
Hope this helps.

[Q] Instagram

Anyone knows of an app like instagram for android? They have instagram in the market which is acutally named instadroid but won't let me upload photos.
They don't have anything exactly like instagram, though I've heard they are making it.
They closest I've found is Picplz
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.picplz.rangefinder&feature=search_result
instagram now available on play store
anyone knows where does it store the processed images, im trying to find one to be able to uploadit (without using instagram itself to share)
and cant find the image
Running Creamed Glacier with the camera Fix and using Pudding Camera app inside of Instagram.
I'm able to take a picture and crop, but the filter selection mode crashes and won't let me upload any picture, from the camera or from sdcard.
Advanced camera is set to off, before I was getting a blank screen.
Anyone gotten a picture uploaded successfully? I may just reboot my phone to see if that solves the issue
Are you having any problems with it? I have it downloaded but it glitches when taking a picture and FC I'm using the hybrid rom of zip and blackwing

Yeah, glitchy for me, I'm impressed with the compatibility for different cameras and galleries, but It FCs whenever I upload any photo. (The crop step is also very annoying If I don't want to crop anything) Immediately following that it bounces back to the home menu with no uploaded photo
if any of you dont like or are having problems with instagram, i can recommend PICSART , in the edition and filter section it is very complete, it lacks a little bit in the social networking, but its getting better, you can do amazing stuff with your pics (no cropping required)

its gotten to the point were i uninstalled, for first release it was quite an achievement i personally blame the rom (no offense to devs, but its true we're still working on the bugs [ this rom is stable yet and won't be until further notice. But if i was on stock rom it would be an amazing app.
I'm using the instagram camera & when I switch the FFC its like all sideways O__o

No problems on my side runs perfect if you go to your page and go to settings u can disable the instagram camera and use the regular camera it might help

You can change the camera settings in whatever camera app you are using, Instagram only accepts larger pictures. I'm not sure of the minimum size though.
I'm still getting FC when I upload, There was an update for the app today and I thought it would fix ie. But nah. Longshot for that one. I'll check out Picstart in the meanwhile
Instagram
Using Instagram on Creamed Glacier and it's working pretty well and smoothly. All effects work and such.
Another update came out today, Fixed all the "Photo To Small" Problems

Hahah, I dont know but yeah instagram may be a bit buggy, but it's getting there with their updates, especially with the "photo too small" problem they used to have.
Instagram is really good. The only thing annoying me about it right now is the cropping function. It doesn't let you add full pictures and you can only crop in a small part of the picture. And that it doesn't have landscape mode.
I never saw the appeal of instagram. Can someone explain to me why, everybody swears by it. To me it's just another camera/photo-editing app.

Gallery Lag.

Does anyone else find that their stock photo gallery sometimes hangs? Sometimes it takes about 5 seconds to open, and other times it just hangs at the "loading" screen.
ps. I've only got about 50 photos in there.

Yes. Mine has delay and lag too. Just bought it yesterday.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I've noticed this problem a few times here and there. I just kill the process using advanced task killer and then its near instant again. I think the gallery just gets stuck at times. You may see it running in the built in task manager then close it and try again. Usually works after the task is killed for me anyway
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I get some hangs in the Gallery app too, but not as long as 5 seconds.
What bothers me the most is that after uploading an image through Kies Air, I need to quit the Gallery app completely and reopen it for the new image to show up.
I've also had this problem intermittently. Twice I waited more than a minute and ended up rebooting to get the gallery loading again otherwise it just hangs.

I think you just need to force a manual "media scan" to get image changes to be picked up. The app ScanMedia is great for that purpose
The Gallery pauses are probably due to a background media scan running to pick up image changes on the "sdcard" partition. Google should fix this... esp since HTC Gallery can do the scan without pausing.
yeh I get it to, little annoying but doesn't bother me to much atm
The problem does seem to be intermittent, but it does get annoying when I have to reboot the device to get it to open back up again. Hopefully there will be a patch in an upcoming update.
I have noticed that if I save picture from some wallpaper app or from internet browser, the picture doesn't show up in the gallery. I am not actually quite sure what to do to make it show up. My only solution has been restart or then using some other gallery, like just pictures. Also there I have to press refresh gallery to get the new pics showing. This is annoying as hell.
I have over 200 photos in my gallery also have 10 videos...doest lag or hang for me...

yes QP is great even on the lower spec phones, like my SF, but on the SGS2 doesn't QP break the ability that allows you to set a different wallpaper on the lockscreen ? or are you just running both side by side ?
sometimes gallery doesn't launch the pics at all so have to exit it and re open! only occasionally tho.
Just open quick pic and then long press the picture and select set as, then lockscreen and then poof, it is set
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Agreed, quickpic is awesome.
The gallery app is laggy to open, and then far too fast once it's open, it's like the phone is too fast for it.
Installed quickpic and never looked back.
no, that doesn't work for me..

If I do what you state above all works up to 'set as', the only options i get under 'set as' in QP are to set as QP Wallpaper or contact icon...
Mine lags as well. But not all the time though.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S II - Taking screenshots of a video image

Hi, I can take screenshots pressing home and power buttons but it comes up black If I try take one from a video.
Anyone know how to do it?
Thanks!
Not too sure.
But if you have root, there used to be a free app on the market called "shootme". Had options for different resolution images and videos. Saved by shake or voice commands.
Can't seem to find it anymore. Maybe just my Market :-(
But did find a demo "ScreenCast & Recorder FREE" app record 30 sec video limitation.

Flashlight Issue

Does any one have a problem when after using a flashlight, trying to go to the recents menu by holding down the home button does not work? Like it does not pop up or is slow to pop up? Also, it makes the keyboard in the messaging app inoperable.
The way I fix it is by either rebooting the phone or by opening the camera app. Some how the camera app fixes it, which I don't know how.
