[Q] The YouTube & Picasa 'Share' options is not available. - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After upgrading to pinnacle a few weeks ago, I lost the option to share my photos and videos from the gallery to both YouTube and Picasa.
When browsing the gallery and I find a video/picture I took that I want to upload to YouTube/Picasa, press and hold, get the check mark on it, then share -> YouTube right? Except I don't have either option when i click share. I think i have most of the other normal options, bluetooth, messaging, gmail, email, etc.
I have you tube installed, updated to the latest, etc. I also have my picasawebalbums synced in Accounts & Sync.
I'm sure there may be other options in uploading with youtube or picasa, but I really liked the share method and I'm confused as to why it disappeared.
Any help or insight would be much appreciated.

really? No one can offer any insight into this?

Been a while since I messed with a captivate but do you have a mediauploader.apk in /system/app ?

No, I dont. How do i get that back?

Grab it from another ROM, or from the stock firmware that ROM you're running is based on.

[Q] photo gallery + drop box

Hey guys,
Everytime, I reflash or lose everything on my galaxy s, I have to punch in my gmail account details, and every time in my photo gallery there would a a "folder" called drop box. I do not really remember if I did create a drop box account, but yet there seems to be photo there. Is there any where I would be able to check my settings for my dropbox account?
Piccasa also shows up and I know that is linked to my google stuff.. but is drop box linked to google as well? Because I tried to log into dropbox.com using my google account and it says that there is no such account yet, my gallery shows a picture, I supposedly put into drop box?
It's probably a folder on you SD card with a picture in it and the media scanner has found it and the gallery displays it.
Yeap just checked.. the folder was named dropbox and it was on my picasa account of all places.. sorry to have wasted xda's time.

[Q] How to edit Share Menu in Android 2.2?

Hey all,
I'm new to Android and tried searching the web and here and found nothing.
Is there any app I can download that will allow me to edit the Share menu?
I have a bunch of apps that came with my Galaxy S that I don't use because I replaced them with better apps (i.e, Samsung email, default SMS app) but they continue to populate in the share menu.
This is driving me crazy. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

i have the same q.?
bump. you guys get it figured out? i have the same issue and posted in another forum asking the same thing. you can keep an eye on it there too in case they answer first. (i am bmoons on that one)
it wont let me link over there yet but its on android forums dot com
This is a known problem.
I think the way the apps appear in the menu is their manifest xml includes details that allow gallery to draw the details as opposed to them pushing their details into an editable menu.
So, delete the apps with something like super manager (rooted).
funny thing is i used titanium backup to uninstall the stock twitter app and its still there. some of those apps dont even have options. i use an app that downloads youtube videos and its in the share menu for some reason. i tried it on a video i recorded to see if maybe it would upload to my account and it doesnt do anything.
i hope they fix it. i dont like that picasa is an option but not even loaded on the phone anywhere that i can find. havent gone in with a root explorer. mostly because i know i will get cocky and delete stuff and ruin the phone
There's an app for that... almost
Andmade Share gives you a configurable Share item where you can edit what appears in its sub-menu. Second-best to what the OP requested, but better than nothing.

Replacement gallery.apk to enable picasa sync

Hey everyone,
so I was unhappy with the fact that I could not sync my Google+ albums to my Gallery app. Somewhere on the web I found another thread supplying a version of the gallery that needed to replace the original one (using Root Explorer and a little bit of fiddling I think), which worked great and I was happy.
Two days ago my phone was stolen though, and I'm currently setting up the new one - for the life of me I can't find the modified gallery.apk again though, and/or the thread showing where to get it and how to replace it to get Picasa sync back.
So does anybody here happen to know what I'm talking about and give me a hint on where to find the .apk and how to replace it to get Picasa sync back?

WhatsApp's video problems, please HELP me I'm desperate!!

Hello guys, I'm very desperate to find a solution to my problem, which is that when I record a video (with the stock camera) and try to send it through whatsapp it later kind of converts itself in a slow motion video (I DON´T HAVE IDEA HOW THE F* IT DOES THAT). If I watch the video recorded with the stock camera on the gallery it looks normal, nothing weird, but after I send it to someone through whatsapp the video now has bad audio synchronization and the movements look like if it was a slowmo video.
I've already tried uninstalling, previous versions of whatsapp, tried installing the most recent versions of it downloaded directly from their official web page, I even unrooted my phone reinstalled my official rom which is PL10 - B839 (Emui 3.1 - Lollipop 5.1.1), I did the factory reset...but nothing have fixed this utterly annoying problem. I don't know what else I can try, please help me guys!!!
You didn't need to do all that. WhatsApp has limit on file size you can send and it changes the framerate when you try sending a big file size video. The best way around this is to lower the quality of the video recording in camera settings.
Hi @HowlingSoul, did you get a solution for this? My wife has it on her phone (Huawei) as well. I can't get rid of it! Uninstalled / Reinstalled Whatsapp, cleared phone storage, reset full phone including full format but to no avail.
@sarcastical; it's not that at all. It happens with short videos, long videos etc etc. The sound is still in actual "rate" so to say. Lowering the camera settings has 0 impact.

No, I haven't found a solution for this problem and WhatsApp still doesn't give me a reply for my email explaining it. Maybe you can also send an email to them to this address [email protected]. If you have rooted your devices I recommend unrooting them and testing if the problem goes away (in my case it didn't, I just rooted my phone to change the font style). I had to send the email directly from Gmail because when I sent it through WhatsApp - Contact Us they saw that I had root in my device and just ignored my email. Please keep sharing everything related to this so we can find a solution.

Hmm that's very strange, send an email to them too to [email protected] I hadn't had this problem.
Sorry was gone for a bit ...
It all of a sudden worked for 1 day! I got a nice video of my kid in actual motion. Of course I hadn't changed anything. But then the next day all back to slow motion again ... I will send them an email. My phone is unrooted.

I still have this problem :'( . I'm still waiting for their response to my email, if they tell you something or how to fix this please share it.
Hi guys!! I have good news, with the new update (2.16.107) the video problem is gone! now I can normally record a video (even a 1080p video) and send it through WhatsApp and it will look normal and the audio is now properly synchronized too! Please, tell me if the update works for you too.
They didn't answer my email though.

Hi guys! Well.....this issue exists as of today with the P9 Plus! Also there are issues with Snapchat too, where the camera auto zooms and other sound issues. Why does Huawei keeps having these odd camera issues with the most popular apps! We just hope they fix it with an update soon....maybe never!

Xperia with Facebook

Anyone tried the Xperia with Facebook feature in 5.1.1 Lollipop versions?
I've tried using it (Go to settings>accounts>add account>Xperia with facebook) it loads for a while but it returns to the menu and nothing happens. I wondered if it changed because I just checked it out a few days after flashing a new stock ROM.
bump. anyone tried this feature? does it work properly for you?
anyone kind enough to check it out for me?
It is nothing special. You just press "Like" to sony mobile page on Facebook and it synchronizes your Facebook events with your Calendar and viceversa. That's all it does.

This feature bloat is completely pointless. On stock ROM, this is one of the many things I remove from my device. If you're going to share on Facebook, use the website.

Actually no. It does upload facebook photos in a much higher quality than uploading it directly on the facebook. (at least when it worked) Have you ever tried it though, did it work on your stock rom?

Facebook compresses your uploaded images regardless of what platform you use - Android app, IOS app, Sony app, website, etc. It doesn't make sense how the Xperia extension somehow uploads a higher quality than through the website. Besides, if the extension is truly hit-and-miss like you said, why are you still using it?

I'll admit, I've never tried it. However, I used GNOME Facebook integration that works similarly to the Xperia plugin on the Linux desktop. Long story short, it was littered with problems, so I just use the website. No issues so far.

I meant to say it did the job when it was still working before Lollipop or this version, plus it did more than that, like sync contacts and whatever although I did not really put it into much use.

I was just concerned about certain functionality, I was worried I might find abnormalities or loopholes from the fresh and pure firmware I downloaded.
