[i780] Send photo taken with camera directly via mail?

hello,
i've probably spent more than an hour now searching for the answer to my question:
is it possible to directly send a photo via email with my i780? if i press the send button in the camera app it automatically creates an mms, which is not what i want.
if this is not possible with the builtin app, is there any other way?
i'm really disappointed, even my 2+ year old nokia phone could do this out of the box...
thank you!

silly question i know... but you have setup an email account on your phone yes?

yes i did
i'm pretty sure it's the samsung camera app which is causing this. i spent my morning reading the msdn library and have since put together a quick and dirty solution... although i still can't believe that this can't be done with the standard application.

create new email, add your photo as an attachment. (or you can just send the "mms" to the email address)

sending mms to e-mail addresses is 30cents each here, so this is not an option
and of course i can just add my picture as an attachment after: closing the camera, going through the start menu to open messaging, create a new e-mail, select the right picture after selecting the right folder, add text. but this will take a(t least a) minute and is not what i wanted
directly mailing pics should be a standard feature on every phone with a camera...
anyway, if anyone is interested in what i wrote, i'd be glad to give out the source code (there's much room for improvement) on request.

Hi bocki! Can you please tell me how to do your quick and dirty solution. I have the same problem and I want to send a photo taken staright from the camera application. Thanks for letting me know how this works! Can you maybe even post it here? Thank you very much!!!

hey,
i attached the binary i'm currently using to this post. it needs the .net compact framework 3.5 (because i suck at everything else than c# and has currently no error handling at all, so if your device is not supported (which unfortunately i can't try out, it worked on my i780 and on the device emulator, so i guess that's a good sign!) you might even have to softreset...(but probably the app will just crash and nothing else will happen)
on first use, you will have to select the right e-mail account - it gets saved when you close the app and will be chosen automatically on subsequent starts.
if you have any problems, please let me know (it's best if you drop me a pm), i might be able to help!
[edit]new version on the next page, you'll probably want to get the newer one.[/edit]

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful!!!!
Any way I can change the size of the picture I am sending? I believe I can only choose 640. I would love to send a different size, too.
Also: The pictures gets saved into "Eigene Bilder". Anyway I can change the folder name in the registry?
Excellent work!!!! Thank you so much!

hey
glad my program is of use to others as well...
the "eigene bilder" destination is due to me hardcoding the german path, i will think of a better solution
the same goes for the resolution, as i said, this was quick and dirty (and by dirty i mean really really really ugly. ) - but i will fix this.
if you have any knowledge of c#, you may be able to fix this yourself, let me know if you need the sourcecode
i will address these issues as soon as possible and keep you posted!

skipping university in favour of coding was a good idea!
i implemented very basic error handling - if your camera is not supported, you will now get a very generic and vague error message
the same goes for invalid resolutions and folders, which can now be configured after the first start. (the first start will reset the path to \my documents\my pictures and the resolution to 640x480) sorry, no fancy dialogs, you'll have to enter the full path yourself (but you only have to do this once, so i hope this is okay).
any problems or other feature requests? let me know, i'm currently in the right mood

Hi Bocki! Thanks for looking at these issues. I am not too worried about the any of them, the folder is fine with me. But resolution would be very nice. Unfortunately, I cannot program it myself. :-( Thanks again for sharing!

please see the post directly above yours and try out the new version

Oops! I must have missed that, sorry! Great application, Thank you! I found out that if I put in 800*600, the camera starts with 1600 and I can choose my desired resolution. If I put in 1024*768 I don't get a choice. Would be great if one could also determine fine, normal etc...
Dont miss too much Uni, hehe.
Are you currently in Germany?

Does Mango fix the basics ??

Will Mango fix the basic functions that were missing when released?
None of the recent reviews seem to address this..
1. Can you listen to movie audio via bluetooth headset ?
2. Can you prevent sms notifications appearing - especially on the lock screen ?
3. Is there now a detailed CALL History ?
4. Can you delete history of recent people, photos, music etc ?
5. Can you forward emails and text messages ?
6. Any sign of SMART Dialing ?
7. Can you SMS to a contacts 2nd mobile number ?
I am sure there are other small things I cant think of...

3. Is there now a detailed CALL History ?

Call history has been beefed up quite a bit. Not sure exactly what you are looking for though.
5. Can you forward emails and text messages ?

You have already been able to do this with emails & text messages/mms.
Not sure on the rest, I haven't been specifically looking for those though with the exception of smart dialing, which I do not think is in Mango.

1) I think so, not sure.
2) -
3) yes
4) -
5) since lauch
6) -
7) Yes and this is already possible. Just create a second contact and link them together. Kind of hacky true, but it works.

@colossus_r what is your POINT !!!!!!!!!!
I`ve had a Samsung Omnia since October and carry it everyday along with my Blackberry for work.... but I dont have time to f%%k about trying to work out things that are not obvious!!! My phone is pre-nodo btw if that makes a difference..
About Question 5
Now I am looking at a text message on the phone I press the three dots (...) and the options are send (which just does a reply) and attach. Exactly how do I forward to a different person as it does not seem clear...
About Question 7
Also how would I know that to sms to a 2nd number in contacts I would have to create a 2nd contact for the same person and then link them!!!

If you youtube the windows phone mago review you will see some of the features in action which could help some of the questions you havent asked.

Press and hold on a msg, you will see the option for forward. Its pretty easy to find out. That's why the other guy was questioning if you have used a wp7 phone on a daily base. Yeah, you do need to calm down a bit. If those features were important to you, a quick search would have solved your problem.

In my opinion, NoDo fixed the basics. WP7 was horrid before NoDo. Mango is supposed to go beyond the basics with added features bringing WP7 up to the level of other smartphones.

what about contact search in mango? anybody has info on whether we can search by company or still by name only?

Not sure, but there are groups anyway, so you could set up business groups.
To the original poster...
1. Dont know, hope so.
2. Dont know again, doesnt really bother me, though, just swipe to the right and it disapears.
3. Yes
4. Dont know, wouldnt use it, so havent looked.
5. Both availble since launch, just hold on the text and click foward (three dots wont work, because how the hell is the phone supposed to know which text you want to foward.) Email just press the lower left icon and it says Reply or Forward, choose forward... Incredibly simple.
6. Dont know, hope so.
7. If there is a second number in your contact you can just do it from the people hub anyway.

Company search for Exchange 2007/2010 always worked always worked I think ...but Exchange 2003 company search (GAL) was enabled in NODO
Thanks to all for answers and appologies if I have offended anyone I am a bit peeved with Microsoft, Orange and Samsung and this non update on my Omnia 7 issue......
Anyway
Email - I just realised that I actually did know previously that you could forward email but forgot as I have been mainly using Company Blackberry for email for a few months now...
SMS - I agree I didnt think it through properly and didnt think about the conversation mode would mean requiring a long press... looked a few times and tried short presses but just assumed it was a missing feature.
Thanks again feeling a bit think now

There is no smart dialing in the beta I'm using

When I start typing something in the "People" application, it finds it whether it's in the name, company or notes field of my address book. Google apps synced account, if that's of any interest, but I see no reason it wouldn't be global.

How to make Viber and Whatsapp work on an UNROOTED wifi-only tablet

Well I wanted to help all who's out there with their new wifi only tablet and wanted to make viber or whatsapp to work on them
so to start I have already seen threads here on xda that already do that but they need a ROOTED device (well I didn't want to root my new tablet just yet) so I found a workaround that helped me access viber and whatsapp without rooting
The things you need :
1- Viber.apk
2- Whatsapp.apk Sorry I can't post links who wants them pm me
3- A landline (or a mobile phone number you DON'T use or need)
After you mark that you can install from unknown sources (Settings/Security/Unknown Sources)
Install both apks in any order you please
Now when you install them they will tell you that they need a phone number to give you a special code to activate your service
Enter your landline number ( it will load for some time then they will ask you to call that number )
If you enter the unneeded mobile number ( you CAN'T use viber or whatsapp on that number as you use it on your tablet ) make sure that the sim card is in a device. They will send the special code in an sms to that mobile number.
If you used the landline method they will call you and tell you the code. ( Write the code on a piece of paper )
Now enter that code on your tablet.
It will be activated on your tablet.
NOTE: You can't add contacts on your tablet. So on viber you can use the keypad and call whoever you know (that has viber) and msg him/her on that number but you can't see his/her name ( May cause problems if you have more than one girlfriend ) .Same stuff on whatsapp but the problem is that whatsapp doesn't have a keypad so eventually you would have to tell anyone who has whatsapp that you know to send you a message so that you can message them . ( Tell them to put their pictures )
I would try to find a way to add contacts to your tablet as soon as possible
By the way this is my first thread on xda so help me out and press the THANKS button
Also I'm going to work on a ROM for the T-Mobile Comet ( aka. Huawei Ideos u8150 ) I'm going to try to get Jelly Bean for the little fellow so anyone that can help me out is welcome

Install GO Contacts and you are ready to go

And it's not necessary to use the size 5 for your post
Just use the normal size, we will see as good and it will be more acceptable

awesome, thanks for the tip!

Sorry I have read lots of posts on xda but I didn't know how to make a post at the first place and I didn't know it would turn out that big sorry

How did you know I am blind!
well, that method doesn't always work. (Maybe if they backed up and restored both app and settings)
It is nice of you to mention it for other people to know.
What is the advantage of using whatsapp over xabber (jabber), skype or viber?

Anything may not work for a specific reason either you didn't follow the instructions or something is wrong you don't know about
And you're welcome for your compliment
Personally I love Skype it's the highest quality of sound and video and gives you im but whatsapp is more like BBM but for android. The only special thing about viber is that it uses your contacts directly and you have your people on your phone without adding (unlike Skype) I think if Skype uses the integration of whatsapp and viber with your contacts it will be the best app for free calls and msgs out there

Sorting contacts

menu: contacts/more/settings/sort by-
is missing on my phone. stuck on default of sorting contacts by first name.
I aint no teenager with just 10 contacts really need to sort by surname
Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks

I find this annoying too, would love to change it
btw: I think that a teenager has even more contacts...

This perplexed me also but I found that this and other old (and usefu) favourites have been moved to Settings.
Go to Settings / Applications / Contacts and the Sort By option is there along with Name Format and others. ?

Kjr. Thx, but tried that already. On my phone 'sort by' is missing from there too.

Samsung Honk Kong have replied stating that there is no way to sort contacts (other than by the default first name) on this model.
Wow! Very basic function that has been available on smartphones (and their predecessors for more than 10 years).
Can users with other variants of the S7 please confirm that they can sort their contacts?
Thanks

Hi CompleteIdiot, my model is an SM-G930F, and for Europe according to the papers that came with it. I can confirm, as you will have inferred from my earlier post, that it has Sort Contacts and other options.
It seems perverse to me that Samsung have release a phone that for one regions where these options are disabled but available in another. Hopefully, they will see the error in their ways shortly.

Software Development [APP] [JOYING] [SOFIA] Forward dial requests from Google Voice to Joying BT app

I made a small apk which can forward a dial request from Google Voice to the Joying BT Dial app.
the following patterns get stripped out to make it work: " ", "-", "(0)", "(", ")", "."
There is no launchable activity so you cant see it in launcher, it is only visible by the installed apps list in settings.
On first use:
- In the result of Google Voice search (where it repeats your command and call the dialer) you need to choose the new dialer with the 3-dot menu button. the choice is sticky on future calls as long as you dont change it back again.
- And you need to grant Call Permission to it and redo your voice search on the first time.
- You can use a contact management app too (like google contacts), just make my app the default dialer and it should work.
the app is available in Play Store:
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.judlis.googlevoicecallhandler4joying
i will post the source code when i think it is stable enough.
One important note:
If you keep seeing a window with 1 input field containing the number and 2 buttons "Make Call" and "Cancel" please report me the exact content of the input field and, if it is not a valid phone number to dial, the number with minimal changes it needs to be valid. Use "x" instead of numbers to keep privacy of the phone contact.

I looked at writing an app for this about a year ago. I ended up making a modification to the paid app "Tablet Talk" so it would perform the same function. I bought it to allow SMS capabilities on the head unit, but it was able to be modified to also perform this same function. Since it was a paid app, I did not distribute the apk, just instructions on how to modify the app.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...oogle-voice-to-initiate-calls-joying-t3528923
Great to see an easy way for users to get this to work without having to buy an app and modifying it. I will give it a try when it is in the app store.
Nice work!

Yes, i used your instructions too before i made this one, thanks.
By the way, Google has approved and enabled the app this morning. So it is availavle now.

Same here: had to install a paid voice assistant (non-modified though) which is able to make "built-in" Joying dialer dial a contact (on non-rooted HU). "OK Google" could not. Still on 1 week demo period. Pity it can not be widely recommended since it only works with my local language (Dusi Assistant). Off: funny it can report news, weather, location, launch navi already with destination, tell anecdotes, call mom etc, manage tasker tasks and other scripts etc. - rather powerful assistant.
Thanks for the app - the link is already alive, will try it shortly (+1).

I've just installed and tried the app, but when Google started dialing there is "Start of Joying BT App failed" error message.
Should HU be rooted for app to work? Mine is not. I used Android settings to allow the app using phone (the only option there), have chosen the app as a default dialer, but no success. I did not do " redo your voice search on the first time" recomendation since did not quite get what exactly is to be done. Tried dialing several times.

on which rom version is your HU? i assume you did not replace the Joying BT apk as you did not install any superuser.
root is not needed.
i upload a modified version which rethrows the exception "joying bt activity not found" so you can report it to play store and i can get it. (should be on play store in about 1 to 3 hours, if you force to research for updates)

My HU is on September latest rom version. I will download modified app and report the state in hour or two, thank you.

Now it goes one step further: phone number with + prefix is shown at top left together with two buttons like dial and canceal and then says "Joying BT app not found" and there is no option to send a report. I could press dial button again having again that error message.

ok, i am sorry about that.
lets try one more approach. you can find a new version in Play Store.
if this does not do the trick, i will have to debug this with same conditions as yours on my end i think.

Yesss, now it works!
It is not as fast as Dusi in starting the dialing itself - one can feel some background struggle with built-in BT (which shows at screen top like icons flicker), but it does the trick. Just great, you've done it, thank you so much!

you are welcome! i am happy that it works for you now and thank you for the testing!
can you tell me in what kind of format your phone numbers are? mine are in int. format like +41 99 999 99 99. but there are a lot formats depending of localization, not sure if i got all variants.
and if you use a phone book app like Google Contacts or something similar if you can initiate a call from there?

for all others who try out the app, please report here :
- the format of phone numbers you are using
- and if you use a phone book app like Google Contacts or some similar app if you can make a call from it.
thanks

As to phone format here, it is as follows: if we want to make it kind of "readable", it can look like +7(916)123-45-67 or 8(916)123-4567.
But what surprizes me is how phonenumbers are currently shown in my Galaxy S6 phone: +79161234567 - no any characters to spoil the dialing process, but before your app Google could not really dial those on Joying HU, was only pretending it dials. It was/is OK with dialing by voice on phone itself.
Thank you again, it was a major hole in Joying basic functionality.

+79161234567 is the international format which works, we will see if other formats are used by google too.
if the would be passed from Google Voice Command to the Joying app in exactly this format it would work out of the box.
But the problem is that Google Voice Command reformat the numbers before passing it to Joying depending of the Region with caracters like minus sign, dot or spaces what the Joying app did not like.
thanks for sharing your informations.

Just an observation, I can not explain this: on the first attempt (after wake-up) to voice call a contact no factory BT is initiated. Begins to work from the second try. Pity I mostly need only one outcoming call per drive.

strange thing, i never had this on my unit.
may be a timing problem, but no clue where.
are there any (error) messages?
at which point exactly does it stop?
or whats the exact difference compared to the working case?
can you try the following:
- open the Joying bt-app
- make sure it has connection to your phone
- go to home screen
- try to dial out with google voice command

first of all thanks for the app, would be really nice if the make call button have not need to be press to finalize the process.

should not be needed, just if i am unsure if phone numer is formatted correct.
can you please tell me the exact content in the input field and where you are located? have you stored the numbers in international format?
