thanks to BelowTheHeavens
For those having issues uploading, disable force gpu in developer options...

when trying to upload a picture from gallery does anyone get force closes? errrrr

I would like the app if I could just save edited pictures.. unfortunately that isn't possible
EDIT: I'm sorry! It stores them on the SDcard! My bad

for those who have already downloaded, please upload/attach a copy of the app. for those who can't directly download from market..

if you save the edited images....
I think it should have more filters

Force close on upload
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

its not instagram. Remove drop box account it causes crashes

Any solution for those who want to keep dropbox?
- Tapatalk (Galaxy Nexus)

I did remove dropbox, and still got the same error when trying to import pics from libary.

Its not dropbox, i dont use this and i`m getting FC when trying the upload...
I send to Instagram Support the bug report, they ask me whats my hardware and OS... Its just a bug.... Just wait the fix.

its working fine for me. i have dropbox installed.

Force closing for me as well on photo upload from gallery. The other I don't like is the absence of tilt shift filters.

everything working fine with me!

Those of you getting FC on upload from library, disable GPU acceleration in dev options.

Testing
Well after testing instagram for Android on GN 4.0.2 I must say its not such a good application.
Its slow..really slow... and the effects..nothing new
I believe because it took so ridiculous long to publish it on the Android market, there are way better, much better applications..I personally use Camera 360 which is way better for me...
Sad because I was looking forward to Instagram...well uninstalled...

BugMailer..? SOLVED / ANSWERED

Anyone knows what this is? It randomly asks permission to send out an email or sms. Baffled..
Edit: how to solve (posted by user gpierani) "" There is a file in /system/bin called bugmailer.sh if you rename it to something like bugmailer.sh-old then reboot it should stop ""
Need to bump this; anyone knows what it is? It looks like it's connected to taking a screen shot by Volume down + power button but not succeeding; this email request comes up then.

Wtf.. I just found some info pointing towards that as well. Android source that sends bug reports to Google without authorisation..??
Yeah, I get this on the CDMA Nexus, too. Running Peter Alfonso's Bugless Beast 4.0.3 with his kernel. There is a bugreport binary and a bugmailer.sh that I'm thinking about renaming to prevent it from happening...

I actually tried a few roms and was getting it quite often on anyone i tried!

.. a quick follow on, you prob have loads of screen shots in your gallery too.
I ran a LogCat on my Galaxy Nexus Device (GSM), and can see before the dump begins it always happens right after the screen state gets set (*** Set_Screen_State 1)
I get usually all of my 'BugMailer' dumps when my phone is on the lock screen or being woken up!
This all Comes from a file called bugmailer.sh cant i just delete it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium App
I am also having this issue. By default, it wants to send the Bug Reports to my own email address, not very helpful. Has anyone figured out how to remove this? Or who at Google to send these to so we can annoy them with Reports until they figure out a solution?

Good idea, get a Google email address!
its just an automated bug reporting system. It doesn't send anything without authorization. I have seen this since running 4.0 sdk ports on my nexus s. What always pondered me was the emails it creates are from ME to ME which isn't reporting it to anyone who gives an ish
There is a file in /system/bin called bugmailer.sh if you rename it to something like bugmailer.sh-old then reboot it should stop
Tested on my Nexus S
I just deleted it this morning ans since then everything is ok

What/how is everyone renaming the file?
I tried the File Manager that came with the ICS Rom (i think its the open kang rom)
and it says "UNABLE TO RENAME".. then "UNABLE TO DELETE" I also tried 2 other file managers off the market but same results
Please what is the best way.. im really fed up of texting someone and it slows down taking a screenshot with personal information displayed then opening gmail with it.. then i look in my drafts every night to find 40+ drafts with bugs and lots of screenshots!
Thanks in advanced!
PS: If possible please give me a why removing it from the phone... my computer with the drivers on decided to die on me so i have no drivers to open the folders (lost the link so cant download to the laptop) If not possilbe (if have to do through comptuer) anyone have the link to download to laptop?

anti theft app that takes picture of assailant??

a friend of mine has this for iphone. basically, when an incorrect pin is entered on the lock screen the app displays a custom message the user inputs and uses the front facing camera to take a picture of the person who is using the phone! really cool. any idea if anything like this exists for droid?

So....will the app automatically send the picture to your email or it requires you to select "auto upload to Google+"? I hope not the second option cuz I HATEEE the way Google+ not letting us deleting the uploaded pictures from our gallery.
I don't make a habit of complaining about permissions. But why do we basically have to give this app control of everything, Skynet style.

i know where is your question coming from - but i have to tell you that you would be surprised how many apps are accessing the same info as this one is. i dont wanna call names - but titanium back up - for example and much more. try LBE privacy guard and find out. almost all GAMELOFT games are asking for emei and even sms log or call log mate/location as well - so i think it will make no difference and if you wanna be able locate your device remotely or even make a pic you have to givea permision to the app providing such a service.
you have to live with it or not use the special "protection"

I loaded this and it works fine on my Galaxy Nexus. The only thing funny is that the pictures seem to be rotated 90 degrees clockwise from the way the phone was being held.
The version of cerberus I used with my GN has an option where the screen goes all white and then snaps a picture with the front camera as soon as the screen is touched.
I also setup Cerberus to email everything to an account that isn't setup on the phone so if the phone is gone, the person holding it can't delete the emails.

Good stuff! I was looking for something like this! Another app you guys may want to try is an app that locks down your apps with a password or pattern. I havent installed one on my Gnex yet but I used one on my EVO (actually, come to think of it, it was native to MIUI).

Ok so its working.
Now how and where an we view these.
So far google plus and maps. Maps your sphere has to be geo tagged when you took it. If it wasnt no go.
Google plus is so stingy its painful. Actually its picasa I believe. Once uploaded it works like it does on the phone like a bubble scene you can scroll etc.
However sharing it using link has been problematic.
I've been sticking to g+. Hopefully they update the app soon so ppl without photosphere can see them without a PC.

I seem to be having an issue with photosphere I haven't seen mentioned. For some reason all other parts of camera work fine but when I open photosphere the view has a green tint and is has a lot of static to the point u can not make out what ur viewing. Anyone seen this or know how to fix? I tried reflashing. Also it did work in the beginning.

N4 Tester Needed

I'm the developer of Send It and need someone with an N4 to test the app for me. It works from 2.3+ including on my N7 and Nexus S (both on 4.2) but I'm getting reports of it not working on the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 4, both running 4.2. Hard to fix if I can't reproduce
So does anyone fancy testing the app for me and letting me know definitively if it does or doesn't work? And if not providing a log cat and testing a couple of debug builds so I can fix this issue?
Thanks.
Tell me how to use LogCat and I could do it, just send me the link to the APK (I guess its a apk)

The logcat tutorial AshonTS linked to above is probably the best you'll find on the grabbing the logcat if you don't already know how to do so.
Really appreciate the offers to test.. this is why I love XDA

Firstly, this belongs in the Q&A section. Secondly, try to uninstall the app then reinstall through the play store.

I'm seeing this on my droid RAZR m as well. Its Verizon, I'm wondering if this is carrier specific. Still trying to to figure out how to make it go away. I don't have FB at all.
Is just an internal fb update.... Facebook 2.3
I saw it earlier and got a lil worry so i looked it up and found this forum!!! so i did what i read... Open download manager and then go to other downloads you should see it here just send it to trash and it fixed it! but then i my sister showed me the same thing and we just waited, finally it downloaded all of it (around 15 MB) and gave her a facebook update screen! saying it was a new version (facebook 2.3) that enables you to mark as spam posts and other stuff!!! NOW i feel like a [email protected] for reading about it and erasing it... hope it comes back on the market as a regular update and that some of you read this and just be patient! :fingers-crossed: GOOD LUCK AND IF SOMEBODY HAS A APK VERSION OF IT ALREADY PLS REPOST!

I had the same problem . I yesterday externally installed Swype kepboard and this problem seems to have arised since then. Not sure however if i can directly blame this on the Swype. Anyways, one sure thing is that this download is unlikely to be a genuine facebook update & its more likely to be a spyware of some kind.
This is what i did & it seems to have stopped popping up since then. Hold the Download till u get an "App Info" option. Then click disable instead of Force stop. It has'nt restarted for me since then .

From your Browser, open the menu and select Download.
BTW, I also couldn't find a link to Download on my Spectrum but I do have it on my Transformer Prime, so maybe something that LG left out.

The scary thing here is it really is a genuine facebook update; see the links I have included below. They are going around the Play store for this and future updates. Which is scary enough on its own because a smart hacker could mimic this in the near future to inject malware. Also, in my case the update failed and now I can't use the version from the play store or this one.
I have complained to Google play about this because they are violation the developer terms; I also provided "feedback" to Facebook! I would recommend others complain to both also to let them know how their customers feel.

Please let me know if this link doesn't work; I haven't used Google Drive to share openly before.
