Mobile Uploads

[Bryce]

Watched it here being done from LOW today. Anyone wanna coach an old guy through this. Galaxy Tab user to help keep it simple.

Upload what to where?

[Bryce]

Pictures but never mind. Seems to be working now. Tried it several times in the past and my tab froze up when it came time to add the photo. Just added one as I was replying here and it previewed just fine. One of the drawbacks to not having kids. Much slower process stumbling through new technology.

Holler at my anytime Bryce, I will give yah a hand. We can stop at the Rim Tim and discuss it haha

Sssh, don't let my wife hear. Trying to use my ineptitude with technology as another bargaining chip in the long standing fight to adopt an 18 year old asian girl.

Just in case someone following this has the same issue with technology, here is what I found. Played around several times trying bring up photos to this site from my Galaxy Tab (android based tablet so I assume very similar to any android phone). Go to icons above where you type responses and click on the 5th one with the blue up arrow. Click on the choose file on the next screen and you will be directed to your galleries. My issue when I was exploring this option is that it would freeze up when I clicked on choose file. For some reason, you first have to have some text entered before choosing file which I obviously wasn't when just exploring. Similar thread going on in the ice fishing section. Lot of users still going through photobucket. Seems like a wasted step but admit that I know exactly squat about android phones.

Test

Nope...no worky on my droidx phone.

[pureinsanity]

Works for me! Droid 2 and props to bryce for figuring it out! Add the text before doing the upload and it works!

[CAMAN]

Testing 1.2.3.4...

Again....

Hey, it worked!! Cool! DTro, select the picture you want then click "add file" it will take a little bit for the screen to change and a thumbnail of the pic will then be shown, then select "done adding pics"

Thanks Bryce!!

[DTro]

I just hit "choose file" and it does nothing.

[CAMAN]

Did you type the text first? That is a requirement for some reason. You can't even press "edit" and add a pic when there is already text there, you must physically type something first, then select upload.

[DTro]

Yes

I typed "test", then hit the upload icon. I then got a pop up box with the "choose file" button. I hit that and it highlights the entire field and nothing happens.

[pureinsanity]

After you choose a file did you hit add file, then scroll over all the way to done?

[DTro]

NOTHING HAPPENS I CANT CHOOSE A FILE. AND YES IM YELLING

[upnorth]

I uploaded this one with no issue, to photobucket anyways. Android Samsung Galaxy version 2.2

[LMITOUT]

NOTHING HAPPENS I CANT CHOOSE A FILE. AND YES IM YELLING

It doesn't work for me either. That's fine, P-bucket mobile does the job for as much as I'd need it.

[pureinsanity]

Noobs 101

It took me a little while. Things didn't load right away and when you choose the file it takes a while to go back to the screen

[DTro]

Noobs 101

when you choose the file

I CAN'T CHOOSE A FILE, I GET THE SCREEN POPUP JUST FINE BUT WHEN I HIT CHOOSE FILE IT ONLY HIGHLIGHTS THE FIELD IT DOESN'T ACTIVATE THE BUTTON...YES I'M YELLING LOUDER

[CAMAN]

QUIT YELLING AND GET YOURSELF A GALAXY NEXUS!!!

Was that loud enough?

[DTro]

EUREKA!

Darren, you aren't doing it right.

Let the page FINISH loading first.

Once it is completely loaded type in your text.

Select this button

It should appear as if it is opening a new window. You should see a white page, NOTHING appears to be loading. Give it a second and the page will pop up. Click choose file. Select gallery, Add file. and so on and so on.

If the page isn't properly or fully loaded it will appear to pull up a pop up window. This is wrong

If the page is fully loaded, and you click the upload icon it should open a new page instead of a pop up.

If you get a pop up, you are doing it wrong If it doesn't work you are doing it wrong. I recreated different scenarios and it seems letting the page load 100 percent before you even start doing anything is the key.

[DTro]

I am sorry, but I AM DOING IT RIGHT. I'm connected to decent WiFi and pages load quick. While it may work with whatever phone you are using, it does not work with mine. Now there might be a security setting or something I can change, BUT I ASSURE YOU. It is not working.

I get a new screen just like I do with my PC (and just like you say I should) and I don't know how many times do I have to say it, but when I hit "choose file" the only thing that happens is that the field changes yellow and I don't get the option to pick a file from the gallery.

Well what you are describing is exactly what happened to me when I ran other tests, until I made sure everything was loaded first. Also I am on wifi.

Guess you are SOL.....

Try it NON wifi maybe?

When I do it on a computer it prompts a pop up not a new screen. When I did it on my phone with out it loading 100% it prompted a pop up when I let it load completely it opened in the same window. Just sayin...

Perhaps someone else with a droid x can try.

I'm seeing the same thing. Works just fine on my Tab and I don't have to type any text first as suggested, but no dice on my EVO.

I get the same thing from mine. On HSO it just won't open the window to allow you to select a file. It changes color like DTro says, but no window to select file. There aren't any other options either. I could from Photobucket, but not here. Makes me think it is something with the Droid web browser. Mine is Froyo 2.2. I may check to see if there i maybe a version of chrome out there for droid.

No chrome(not sure what comes loaded), but there are like five other version that can be installed. Maybe later as my battery is pretty much toast right now.

[DTro]

You noobs you MUST be doing it wrong.
