Instagram Problem. - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

For some reason, I was trying to put up a picture that I recently took from my S4, but it kept getting messed up, one was with black background and the whole picture was black. that's all. Then one was white so it was pixelated. So I told my friend to put it up and i Sent him it and he put it up on my account with no problem. Are any of you guys facing this problem? And if so any solutions?

Just sent a picture I took earlier through, came out fine for me. Did you use the instagram camera or the built in one?

I had the same problem... tried posting a pic of the galaxy s4 box and a black pixelated picture kept coming up

Same case.

There is an update, but I think it was more so for international users mostly. When in doubt, delete app and reinstall, that would be my suggestion, reboot if needed first.

Try another pic of the same or something black, see what happens. If it happens, maybe something wrong with color recognition, doesn't this device have a setting for RGB in there somewhere? Too new now to know of common problems, good thing for warranty and forums like XDA !

Tried alot, and IDK and yes thank for warranties and XDA

Sorry I couldn't be of much help, if it is just isolated to Instagram only, it may be app/device incompatibility would be my bets guess. However, with it running 4.2.2, that almost makes me think it is on the apps dev side. An update from Instagram may resolve it, or email dev of app.

Ever since update I'm getting the same thing

Can you two provide a pic? I am on 4.2.2. (mind you, also on a SGS2), and I updated IG and I am not experiencing this. It may be device related, ruling out 4.2.2, but again, I am AOKP, not TW. Root that bad boy, the devs will have great ROMs for this beast of a phone.

Ok, what am I supposed to be seeing incorrectly here?

Thats the image I was trying to put up, but it got pixilated.

But I am guessing that is the non pixelated image? I have seen that on two different compters so far, it looks normal to me.

Ran it through, came out fine? There was an app update today FYI.

Hey, Ive had this problem but found a fix. Go to options-then advanced features then uncheck high quality image processing. This should hold out until the next update

Camera issue

Has anybody else had an issue with the camera view having multi colored lines and the it freezes. Sometimes if I do it fast enough I can take the picture and it looks great. I am all stock btw and it has been doing this straight out of the box.

Clear data on camera app and let me know if it continues
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
yeah, it still continues after i clear data. tried a factory reset and it still continues. just rooted and im gonna install another rom to see it my factory camera app was somehow corrupted. i dont think its a hardware issue, but i guess we will find out.
Edit: Still does it. If i force stop the camera app after it freezes and try to reopen it, it will just pop up with the camera symbol then instantly close.

Try a different camera app perhaps?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
Sounds like a software issue i would root and try a different camera app like knipp suggested you could also try adb pushing a new camera app if you dont want to root but keep a backup of your original if you go that route. Or try one from the market im not positive but I think they may rely on the stock app
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
If it's still doing it with another ROM it's a hardware issue and you need to return while under warrentee still.
The ones from the market dont work, i do think that they rely on the stock camera. besides the ones from the market, i dont know what to try.
Edit: I did try 2 different roms, one with stock kernel and one with custom kernel and it still does it. Guess im gonna have to unroot and bring it back to Verizon. Would they give me a new one right there or do you think i would have to wait for them to mail me another one, i bought it brand new and have only had it since friday. Been doing this right out of the box.
They will most likely mail you a new one with a box to mail the Old one back in

I am very pleased with my local Verizon store today. I went in and told them the problem and without any hassle they opened up their cabinet and handed me a brand new box. Camera works great on this one and I am a happy camper.
Edit: they also gave me a $50 mail in rebate on top of the discounts that I already got online.

Any lost or stolen app that also blocks hard reset?

I found a few apps that tracks your phone down or even takes pictures of the person trying to unlock it, but like the title says, is there any app that blocks hard reset? It's kind of pointless if your phone gets stolen if they can just shut the phone off and do a hard reset to it and sign in with there email,
Thanks :-D

I guess in theory you could place an app like Seekdroid in the system folder and then do a hard reset. Usually a hard reset won't affect system apps.

you can't really avoid physical maneuvers. and anything baked into the phone's startup has to be a modification to the actual ROM. so no.

Check out Android Lost, it does alot of those things as well. Relies on push messaging too, so its very light. You can take a picture on demand, turn on GPS and get location, download texts/emails, etc.

Yea it would, also it would be tight if Samsung had in app like that already installed, that way even with a master reset you'll still be able to find your $700 + phone lol, I haven't lost one yet (knock on wood) but still very nervous of loosing it, ill give android lost a try,

After I got my phone I left the box on the train with all the accessories lol. It can happen!
I'm trying to use Android Lost,, but I can't get the gps remotely to turn on when it's off,
So maybe Cerberus might be better, I might have to give that one a try,

Android lost is free and its king of this kind of apps. Nothing is even close. Go get it try come back and hit thanks.

This is how I got around the GPS toggle not working:
Since AndroidLost.com allows you to send texts, I have setup a tasker profile which waits for a text that says "androidlost" and if it receives it, it enables GPS.

it looks good, although cerberus seems just as good and its already installed. I tested cerberus and its flawless. I guess there's no harm in having both though!

Its not that wise to have 2 of same kind of apps running at same time. Battery and often cause conficts. I have tryied only android lost and is one amazing ap. Newer had cerberus. I cant say much about it.

Camera and Gallery from 4.2

This was posted up for the GNex guys but I figured everyone with a rooted phone would appreciate it. Everything works except photosphere, and I must say the new way of accessing options is on the fly fast. This is s great improvement. Enjoy!

Working photosphere
I haven't tested yet, but im about to flash it
edit: ok it works if you make the edits to the build.prop as mentioned in that thread. Thing is i think the sensors might be a little screwy on our phone. I'm running paranoid 2.5 and its a little off. Don't know if its the rom but its off
Everything else works great though
I edited my build.prop and flashed this, it looks like a great idea but it doesn't seem to like the gyroscope in the E4GT very well. Everything is backwards.

I flashed the patched version (works on any phone with a gyro without editing build.prop) from Android Police. http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...gallery-app-with-new-ui-editing-photo-sphere/
It works fine, and the panorama mode loads and starts to work. However, my gyro is all over the place. left is up, right is diagonally off somewhere, etc etc. I wonder if this is unique. Did / can someone try it out and see if the gyro works right on our device?
So is this worth installing?

I had a camera like this previously is a short lived flash, can't remember what ROM. But it had no issues. Can the gyroscope be corrected?

Because it looks like none of the comments and flashes have been from an E4GT I too would like to know if it can be flashed safely.
Yep, same problem here. Up is left and down is right, left is up and right is down. It's like it uses portrait movements when in landscape mode, etc.

No. Don't worry, its safe to flash. Its just that when you edit your build.prop the xda app picks that up and puts it in your sig lol I don't have a gNex lol

Oh ok haha thanks! Interesting that it did that
Every app reads the build.prop to see what the model is. Since we changed it to say Galaxy Nexus instead of SPH-D710, the XDA app reads the phone as a Nexus. Not very complicated at all.

Just want to let everyone know that I am getting much better response from photosphere on CM10 Beta 2.
I went into advanced and enabled calibration data then sat my phone on the floor and calibrated.
I will try a picture with photosphere after the sun comes up and I can actually see something.

Ditto.
I have the same issue and wonder if its related to OS version. I never saw that problem when on 4.1.2 but being on 4.2.2, the Instagram filter always had that problem.
Need to ask Devs about that.....
Confirmed (or at the least)
I have an S3 with OS 4.1.1 and there is no Glitch with Instagram.

When i had my S2 a day ago and it was onn4.2.2 i did not experience this problem.. just got on my coworkers s4 to see if he had the same problem on his stock phone andbhe does.. maybe its just the s4?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
I believe it's the size of the picture, mind you our S4 has a 13mp camera, takes 9mp by default which is still higher than the normal standard, try editing a smaller picture like one not taking from your s4 and see if the filters work correctly.
Edit: actually I'm not experiencing any glitch with any size picture.
Edit 2: ok I had it wrong its that one hdr type button that causes the picture to glitch, the normal filters work but not with that button enabled, an iG update will probably fix that.
