Develop Bugs

Is this normal?? (Sharing pictures pop-up menu partially inaccessible)

Yes, I'm using CM7, but I recall this happening when I was on CM6. Whenever I want to share an image, I get a list of apps that's longer than the window, and I cannot scroll with the trackpad or my finger.

i don't know but if you have that many options to share a picture,i guess you just need to scroll the list with your fingers?

see above....

ok my bad..ima let an expert answer this one but remember cm7 is still in beta so expect bugs like this one.

no worries, thx for trying tho. it's not a huge problem, just something i noticed and is sorta annoying when there's an app i want to use that isn't accessible from that list...

Try switching to portrait orientation if possible, then it might not be cut off. Might be a slight truncation bug in the galley, I don't have this issue with vertical orientation

one of the images i posted is in vertical/portrait orientation, and the list is still too long - which would be fine if i could scroll thru it....

Yeah I didn't see that the first time, sorry. I think it's a gallery bug, it has been since google released that 3D gallery. Mine doesn't truncate like that in portrait mode. Do you need that many sharing applications?

i don't need that many, they just show up there - if there was a way to limit it, i would be inclined to do so, i only need like 5 of them

Well I just see a bunch of extra stuff there, like k-9 mail and picasa and goggles and a bunch of other stuff. I guess that I just don't have that stuff installed, that's why my list is shorter. You can't remove those items from the list without uninstalling the app. Is there anything that's being cut off that you frequently use?

i could stand to lose picasa, dropbox, goggles, and bluetooth - never done anything with those via share, but don't want to uninstall them
i frequently use vignette, facebook, twitter, k9 (personal email), touchdown (work email), and mms.

Yeah there's not much you can do about the list, maybe google will fix it, or cyanogen will patch it, who knows.

Google Facebook Photo Sync

This is a little off-topic, and I'm sorry if it doesn't belong here, but I am looking for some people to test out a new website I've been working on, and thought I'd look to my fellow Inc2 owners.
When I first got CM7 working on my old Fascinate, I was a little bummed that there was no way to link my Facebook contacts. So I decided to make my own tool. As of right now, it only syncs pictures, no phone numbers or anything.
I've spent a good amount of time working out the bugs, but there is a chance I missed some, so if you encounter any problems please let me know. Don't worry though, it won't mess up your Google contacts at all.
Please note that it currently DOES NOT work in Internet Explorer, due to a bug on Google's end which will hopefully be fixed soon.

Thanks!
Edit: Also I should note that this won't work on mobile browsers (can't scroll through certain lists), and you must have javascript enabled in your browser.

What are the benefits over using the Facebook App to sync contacts?
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA Premium App

Let's see, the main benefits are:
- Ability to crop and resize profile pictures
- Pictures are visible outside of just your phone, so in Gmail for instance
- No need to re-link after flashing a new rom (I always found this a pain)
- Pictures will show up everywhere on your phone. I believe if you use the Facebook app to sync, the pictures will not show up for certain apps, like messaging
- No new contacts will be added to your phone
My tool will only sync pictures, and not phone numbers or email addresses. I found it kind of annoying that the Facebook app would pull these in, but I guess that's a matter of personal preference.
As of right now, there is no automatic updating of profile pictures, but I hope to get this implemented soon.

Gave it a go. after running the program, I got an error pop up that submitted an error report. The program still worked though. It found a few of my contacts in Google that weren't matched up with my Facebook contacts.
So if I'm understanding this, now that I have my Facebook contacts linked with my Google contacts, when loading my contacts on my phone now, (after flashing a rom or doing a hard reset) my Google contacts will still have the pictures linked to them without having to go back and doing the Facebook thing all over again?

Yep, as long as you hit the upload button once you were done linking the contacts. Instead of saving the pictures on the phone, like the Facebook app does, this actually saves the pictures to your Google contacts. So when you do a reset, and sign back in to your Google account, your contact picture will be sent to your phone along with all their other information.
You do need to link all of your contacts on the website though. It doesn't recognize which ones you already have linked on your phone.
I saw the bug reports, I'll take a look and try to see what happened. Thanks for giving it a try!

Could you add the feature of ONLY syncing facebook pictures and no contact numbers? The one thing I hate about syncing facebook in my phone is the fact some people have old numbers still on FB so there are two numbers when you go to call or text someone as well as there are unwanted numbers of people.

Your contacts aren't showing up? That's strange... and no error message comes up? When you sign in and click 'Begin', how many contacts does it say you have under 'Google Contacts'?

got this error:
I'm sorry, you have encountered the following error:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'myContact' of undefined

Hmm sorry about that. Still working out all the bugs.
I think I figured out the problem and got it fixed. Had to do with contacts that don't have names, but only email addresses. Let me know if that worked.

Could you do me a favor? Sign into the site again, and click on 'Begin'. Once the main page loads, click on the 'Comments/Questions' link at the bottom of the page, check the 'send log' checkbox, type anything in the big box, and hit send?
This will help me diagnose what's going on, and why your contacts aren't showing up. Thanks!

Zed does your website still work? The pages shows it as down.

Shoot, my server must be down. I'll take a look at it when I get some time today, sorry about that.

Alright it should be up and running now. Let me know if you have any problems. Thanks!

Low resolution photo in People App (contacts)

Hi,
I read somewhere that ICS can have high res contact photo in the People App, but only when synced with Google+.
Is that true?
That means, if you don't sync with Google+, and utilizing only Google Contacts (GMAIL Contacts), you will get low resolution 96x96 from Google Contacts.
So, how do you add the Google+ profile of your contact in the People App?
Do you add it manually? Or the People App will automatically search and pick one for you?
Because, if we can add the G+ profile manually, I think we can have workaround by creating G+ profile for them manually !

This is a right f**k up pain in the ar5e problem that could probably be easily fixed by google.
I used an external app to link all my google contacts to my facebook contacts thus providing pictures, its better to do it that way because if I install a custom rom that requires a wipe I dont have to re-link the contacts.
Unfortunately about 0.5% of my phone contacts and facebook friends have google plus so i've no idea how to get around it.
ICS looks so cool and polished only for someone to ring me and present me with a picture that looks like its come out of a 1980's pong game. grrr
Rant over

Make sure you have your IRL friend in your normal Android/Google contacts, then if you add your manually created "friend" on Google+ there will be 2 separate contacts on your phone - one for phone, one for G+.
If you go to the "phone" contact and select "edit" in the menu then on the next page there will be an option to "Join" in that menu.
If you then select the G+ contact, it will be joined to the phone contact as one user with phone number and G+ pic!
Or I think you can just manually add a photo to the contact but I haven't tested whether that is definitely hires or not.

All my contacts are on Google Contacts. I've assigned photos from Picasa but they still look crap...
Why Why Why..

I think you can manually change contact photo with high res one.
But, once you synced with Google Contacts, it will be replaced with the low res from Google Contacts.
I wish there is an option to just disable contact photo sync, photo only.
Or, is there any clever developer who could create an app to simply replace all contact photos with user selected one?
I could imagine the app would work like this:
. The app works like the contact app, when started it will show you contact list
. Then you can assign photo manually to each contact
. App will remember this assigment
. Woth one button hit, the app replaced all contacts pgoto with the assigned one
So, every time after we synced with Google Contact, we simply run the app, hit the replace all contact photos button, and we are done!
Okay, any dev out there? I will pay premium for this kind of app!

a much easier way is to get a decent sized pic of your contact and save it to your phone and then edit contact > edit pic > select new pic. simples! - they DO NOT have to be from Google+ at all!
Hope that helps!

Not quite true. As soon as you sync your contacts with Google it sends them to the cloud which uses 96x96 photos. For some reason these then get used on the phone.

In my experience the phone will keep the high res contact picture, but if you delete your contacts for whatever reason (e.g. factory reset) then restoring from Google Contacts will bring back the low res versions.
The Google+ versions seem to work with high res photos, but since only about 4 or 5 of my "real life" friends actually use Google+ this is a bit pointless for me.
This is a problem with Google Contacts only saving low res pics, and it has been a request from the community to upgrade these for absolutely ages. So far it has gone unnoticed, which I presume is because of the focus on using Google+.
There seems to be a lot of duplicated features now G+ has come out, such as Picasa/G+ Photos; GTalk/Messenger; Google Contacts/G+ Contacts; and these really need to be consolidated which will hopefully iron out issues such as these.

guys how do I edit a contact on the phone?
Ive gone into the people app, gone into the contact and even long pressed but I cant see to edit the contact?
I want to assign a high res photo to the contact from a photo in my gallery. Is this possible?

I really don't understand why they didn't turn long press on in the People App. Having to reach all the way at the top of the screen to get to "Menu" icon and then "Edit" takes a lot more effort especially when you have to edit a lot of contacts.
Anyhow. Do you guys know whether all the "linking" I made to each and every single contact to its Twitter or Google+ account will be sync'ed or backed up on Google's server? Thinking about installing custom ROM.

Does anyone know how to link contacts from within the phone (like when you have multiple contacts like with Whatsapp adding its own version of the contact)?

Took me a day to figure this out myself. Haha. Go to "Edit" under the menu button for that contact, then hit once you're in the edit mode, hit menu button once again, then hit "Join"

Everytime I click on a picture to view a larger version there are tags with peoples names all over it. I hate this.

Thats something that facebook has hard set in the app i havent been able to find a way to turn this off either.

yeah fb like adding annoying features.
only way to hide em is to tap once on the picture itself, but it won't stop it showing em by default every time. grr
wish google + would take off, their mobile app is so much better and smoother etc.

Instant Upload for Existing

Hi, is there anyway to get Instant Upload to upload my existing pictures? I just started using it as I created a google+ account yesterday. I have it enabled on CM10 (jellybro) but it doesnt upload pictures i take either :/. I have it enabled on google+ so I have no clue whats going on.

Make sure its sync is also set on in the google account associated with the phone, by default its usally off and the sync options are also usually unchecked. You can try mannually hitting the sync button on the phone to make sure its working. If you have a power widget make sure sync is also set on there.

Yeah I updated to the latest nightly and it grabs new pictures now. Do you know if there is any way to make it upload existing ones?
