Good Morning All!
As per the subject, I'm having trouble uploading a photo onto my Whatsapp profile. Keeps saying 'Failed to upload Image data' Try again later'.
Can anyone help at all please. I've tried loads of things to no avail.
Many thanks,

A few things to try (I'm sure you've done them already but just in case)...
1. Scale the image to different sizes before saving.
2. Make sure your wifi or data is on, as the app sometimes needs to consult with whatsapp servers for operations like that.
3. Make a backup of the app. Then go to Settings > Apps > select Whatsapp and then 'Clear Data'. See if that's fixed it.
4. If not, as a last result, after backing up your app data, try uninstalling and then reinstalling the app.
5. Make sure it's the most up to date version from the play store.
6. If you have a custom recovery, you could try to fix permissions from TWRP or CWM.
7. Shout loudly at it and make threatening gestures. :silly:
I'll install it and see if I can reproduce the problem.
EDIT: Installed it and was able to upload profile photo without problem. Sorry.
Really appreciate the advice, I really do. None of it has worked though!
Bloody annoying....
Bugger. I wonder if it's not WhatsApp, but your gallery app that's the issue? Have you tried using something like QuickPic perhaps? Just a thought...

Could it be that I don't have an SD card in the phone yet?

Wahey! Perhaps I should've mentioned that from the start so apologies there.
Ordered a Sandisk 8GB Micro SD yesterday anyhow for £5.50 which I thought was a good price. Apparently, originally £18 or so.
Mine doesn't work either on my Company Wifi. Interesting part is that Windows Phone, Blackberry folks can upload and send photos without a prob. Just the android clients are having this problem.
works only from internal sd with me. from external sd i get error massage. hope it helps
on my sgs4
Hey. I started encountering the same problem. I cant change my profile picture and i cant send pics to anyone. I am using a custom rom on my sgs4 and i WAS using whatsapp reborn when this problem occurred. Even after switching to the original one didn't solve the issue. I reinstalled the rom, reinstalled whatsapp after clearing all the date and cache. But nothing seems to work. Any ideas why this is happening?
hi all
hi Pedro, just disable the developer option..to do that go to settings, more, developer option and disable it..see if that works..
Try this; Settings > App Manager > "Go to the App. Permission screen to change permission for individual apps." > WhatsApp > Shared files - - ON.

Hey Guys,
If you are having the re-draw issue, try this. I can confirm that it fixed my re-draw issue.
Settings>Developer options>Uncheck "Don't keep activities"
After you do this, you should get the re-draw one more time, afterwards, there should be no more re-draws. I was also able to re-create the re-draw issue when I checked the "Don't keep activities" option.
Hope this helps!
Btw, I'm using the Nordic Combined version of ICS right now.

I also cleared my internal storage and reset my phone before the flash. As well, I have "automatic restore" in Backup and Reset, unchecked before I re-downloaded all my apps.

Isn't that the default option (if you flash a ROM fresh, that option is unchecked by default). So how does it help
Try opening loads of windows in the browser and looking for a good 10-15 mins and see if it's still fixed?

Thanks Mate worked for me too. Initially i also flashed directly on .75 but was feeling lags. Today i reflashed after clearing Internal memory and restoring too default. But today I was very unhappy with the lags that too when i have only the stock softwares. The Leg was killing me when i perform basic functions such as going to dialer and it shows redraw while coming back to home screen the icons on home screen will take second or two to come back and was thinking of going back to GB but your post helped me.
I really don't think sony has worked very well on the update or may be they haven't provided proper installation information to customers.
Please note when i initially flashed wihtout restoring to default and clearing internal memory even for me these options are unchecked. Also today i flashed with SUS not PCC.

To tell you the truth, after flashing and before I did anything else (install apps, etc.), I would go into settings and set everything back to how I had them on GB which included checking that option. So this time around, I installed all apps before settings which led me to discover that that option was what was causing my redraw issue.

Hmmm, have you tried to check it then start a few apps in the home screen and then uncheck it? It was unchecked by default, then I went and checked it (unknowingly), then once I unchecked it, the redraw issue was gone.

I can not confirm whether it does or does not. However, I've taken a browse at some of the folders and files that are left behind from various uninstalled apps and such, I would propose that it is probably a good idea to clear your internal storage and perform a factory reset before your flash. Now, once again, I can not confirm whether this actually does anything, but it's just what I did.
mhm okay.. could you try to open some heavy apps like browser or games and then right after open the dialer or contacts and tell me how fast it is?

I tried it. The initial launch was a slower than normal however, after that, it was fast like normal.
okay.. just cleared everything.. its way faster now imo.. thanks mate! =)
It should be unchecked by default in all pure stock ROMs. If it was enabled on your phone it means you manually enabled it before, or the custom ROM you installed had it enabled.
Yes, it was unchecked. But as a habit (probably because, like everyone in here, I'm obsess with making sure that I have the most amount of memory free), after flashing, I would go and check it; not knowing that it was causing an issue with this version of ICS. Now, I certainly suspect that this alone did not "fix" the issue, I'm thinking that it was a combination of clearing the internal storage, resetting the phone, and not checking "kill application" that fixed this issue.

I Tried googling and found in many forums that its due to some unsigned apps that causing the problem. Just wondered, how clearing the media contents resolved this one.
Could you please provide the scene behind media storage and please let me know hoe could this solves the issue.

Hi There, It seems like temporary fix for this issue. When the media app has some data in it, this problem reproduced. is there any permanent way to get rid of it?
Am in GB2.3.5, very sooner, i will get ICS 4.0.4 in my device. will that solve this problem?
Kindly help me..

Here's the thing for me though... I don't use a screen filter. I have always just used the display timer in the device's settings. And I do have "Unknown Sources" enabled. It just stopped working though.
I tried the Media Storage fix, but it didn't work, before or after rebooting.

UPDATE: Figured it out! Of all things, it was a Clipboard app that I recently installed, called "Copy Bubble". Thanks though!
I had the same situation, I mean when I tried to install any apps with unknown source I had active cancel button and inactive install button.
After wipe and install clean rom everything was OK so I was sure that issue was by my installed apps. In this case: Lux Auto Brithness. After freezing this apps - install button is active.
Screen filtering apps causes this issue.
I believe they add layer and android disables INSTALL considering security..
If clearing data for media storage seems like temporary fix, then no permanent fix(?) is there instead removing the app thats causing the screen overlay (Unless devs find one and they will):good:
In my case it was EDGE MASK app's rounded corners effect that was causing issue.. Disabled it and worked..
Google for screen filtering apps and find your's..
Edit: SOLUTION: Go into Advanced wifi settings and disable WiFi Optimization. It appears that the function disrupts the WiFi connection which disrupts the upload. The tradeoff of disabling it is your phone uses more battery while idle on wifi so I make sure I only disable it before bed and re-enable it when I wake up and the upload is done.
Edit: SOLUTION 2: I read somewhere on Reddit to take note of which app the upload fails at. Delete the backup of that app and manually make a new backup. After that it should sync fine. I've tired this and so far uploads to Dropbox and gdrive have been completing successfully.
So for the last few months every time I try to sync TB with Dropbox, box, or drive it immediately fails with the message "Upload Failed: Network Error". This happens on every wifi network I've tried. Been searching the Googles for a good while and See other people are having the same issue. Someone suggested that it fails because of apps that exceed like 180mb in size. I have since excluded those apps from the backup but still no deal.. Has this issue been resolved yet? I figured it would fix itself but it's been months and I'm becoming frustrated.[/QUOTE]

It's possible that your Titanium Backup file exceeds the amount of space available in your Dropbox account or your Dropbox upload limit.

More times than I can count. This has been an issue for months now. Started on my last phone. When the problem persists over multiple devices, multiple ROMs, and multiple installs I can't help but believe it's the app. Especially since I'm not the only one experiencing this.

I've been having trouble with this too, but only since I got my new HTC One a few weeks ago. Before that, it always worked fine with my Galaxy S3. I have yet to complete a full sync with my One.
So frustrating and there seems to be no fix.

I have encountered this from time to time on all 4 Android devices I have used. Sometimes it's just a network timeout, and rerunning the backup (sometimes multiple times) usually fixes it. Other times it may be a particular file that kills the process. The problem is that the app messages disappear when you try to access them.
Generally, at least for me, eliminating the offending file, either through labels or deleting it (if it is defective or doesn't belong in the backup directory, and happened to have been saved there).
If there is a TitaniumBackup log, I haven't found it, and I don't know whether or not the logcat would reveal anything.

I've tried deleting and excluding backups that are more than 250mb and had no effect. Nor does retrying the upload endlessly.
Same issue for me on Dropbox. Box works but Dropbox fails everytime. Getting a server error everytime.
So lame... In the mean time is there a way to get one of the automated task apps set up in a way that it can upload the tb folder to cloud on schedule?

It is annoying that we are unable to access the error notification as well, anyway
i followed the advice from the guy above saying keep rerunning it multiple times, and it does it bit by bit so have got there in the end, thanks to good ole XDA forums
Just a shame i didn't receive any support at all from an app that was happy to take my money
So after todays update, forget about the network error.. Now I'm getting the Insufficient Storage error so cant even do a backup on both my devices. This app is just trash now a days. Sucks there is no comparable alternative.
I'm also struggling with this. I've tried a load of different options with no luck either. I'm hoping we'll find a fix for this sooner than later.
I will say though that I was able to sync to GDrive at one point. Just lately, its been giving me a lot of problems.
I have the ConsumerCellular version of the Mate2. I wish I didn't, but I do. I am thinking about selling it and getting a non CC version, but I don't think I will be able to.
I flashed @xordos b148 zip to "convert" the CC version to OEM version. It worked fine, but here are the problems I have.
1. TitaniumBackup and all other backup apps don't work. TitaniumBackup says "Batch backup failed: Insufficient free storage space." Despite having a few free gigs. Even if I only select one app, it says this. I have tried all the regular fixes I found with Google, like deleting the odex file which we don't have, and installing busybox and not using the one it comes with. It has to have something to do with Android's janky SD card directories like Legacy, emulated, etc...However I tried both the internal SD card and External and both say the same thing.
1a. When doing certain commands via adb which would create a file somewhere, it will return the following error: "/sdcard/*: cannot open for write: Read-only file system".
So some apps can use the SD cards, some can not.
2. Most push notifications fail to come in. The Google ones seem to work fine...Hangouts, Gmail, etc, but any other app seems to have a lot of problems getting a notification through. CloudMagic, my favorite email app almost never shows a new mail until I go into the app. Every now and then I will get a new email, but its about 1 out of 10. Twitter, facebook, and even the stock messenger app usually don't show a notification.
I have wiped and re-flashed quite a few times, and nothing seems to help.
Anyways, if I could get both of those problems fixed, I would be pretty happy with the phone.
Did you restore YOUR Cust folder?
I found that a lot of my problems with notifications had to do with protected apps under settings. I added Gmail and Google messenger to protected apps and it seems to have fixed any problems I had with them.

I just flashed Xordos' zip file that came with a cust folder. I don't have my original anymore and wouldn't have known how to do that anyways. Anytime I try to copy or move anything in the cust folder it fails due to inadequate permissions.

I'm sorry, where is this "protected app" setting?
Might be a kitkat only thing. Been awhile since I've been on jelly bean. I know I've seen people in other threads suggest that power genie and notification manager might also be the problem.
Hmm, I don't have that setting, and I don't know what pier genie is....but I have gone through the notification manager and granted access for everything awhile ago...didn't seem to help.
yes, check this thread about protect app even disable those power genie app etc:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56936970&postcount=3
And regarding readonly sdcard/TB backup issues, try disable the setting 'mount namespace separate' in SuperSU, credit goes to someone in mate2 thread.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! You seem to have totally fixed my first problem.
The second one I am still working on....I renamed the powergenie.apk, but I have went all through the settings and seem to be missing the battery saving section, where exactly is it? I found the battery in settings, but its just stats with no options.
I think you are good now. Once you freeze/renamed those app, the battery saving setting will disappear. I am in L now so I cannot check but I believe this is the reason.

A weird glitch has been going on with my Whatsapp for more than week or two, It's simple, I reply a message, using the reply function and then as soon as my reply gets replied(hopefully you understand), the recipients reply above my reply disappears.
I can't post an image yet, but an example;
Hey
Hey(this then disappears)
Sup?
Sup?
I'm good
As soon as the recipient replies to my reply which is Sup?, the Hey above my reply(Sup?) disappears.
Thanks in advance for your replies, I really want to fix this problem, it's getting to my head.
