Picasa Upload Fail from Gallery - Vibrant General

The last few days I have been getting a failure message when I try to upload pictures from the stock gallery to Picasa. This has always worked for me in the past, not sure what has happened. From the gallery I select the image, then select share, from the share menu I select Picasa and hit upload. It uploads the image and goes to 100% complete. About a second after hitting 100% complete it gives the error "Failed Authentication failed". The images never actually end up in my picasa web album. Any ideas what could be causing this? My phone is signed into and syncing with google for everything else without any problems.
Any help would be great,
Thanks,
Dave

Have you tried reboosting your phone?

I had this happen to me about a month ago. Upon asking around XDA and elsewhere I got the impression it was a Picasaweb problem, and it went away on it's own after a couple of days. Might be what's going on in your case.

I'm having the same problem on my G2. Been happening for 2 days now.

I am still having this issue, any ideas?

Same problem here, mt4g not able to upload from the gallery to picasa." Failed Service Error". Very frustrating. Anyone can help?????

Possible solution....
Started having the same problem a couple days ago, getting the "Failed Service Error." Did some looking this morning after I tried again and found a t-mobile forum thread where a guy said he was having same issue only when uploading lower resolution images.
I tried uploading 2 different photos just now, one at low res [299k] and the other was higher res [1.4 mb]. The lower res image failed and I got the error, but the higher res image successfully uploaded.
Maybe just need to use higher res images all the time? Food for thought....

yeah, don't hijack threads - start a new one.
Youtube videos can take 15 mins to process and appear.
Anyone help?
are you logged in properly in account manager (its in settings then communication) mine seems to upload fine
No log in is failing, it gives me an error when I try and log in: There was a connection error while attempting to log in with CORRECT password and username. My wifi and data connections are fine and FB and twitter log ins are successful. No idea why this is failing.
has your password got any special characters in it?
i.e. other than abc... 123... etc?
Nope, nothing unusual - letters and numbers only.
Well it's now working for me but I've upgraded ROM, what version are you currently using, before when I had the problem I was on the original stock o2 rom

[Q] Issue with the Gmail App

For some reason my Gmail App has stopped working properly about 1hr ago. Every time I open the app the conversations start loading then get to the bottom of the screen the force close message below pops up:
"The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. dumpstate_app_201008062027_com_google_process_gapps.log has been saved. Use *#9900# to copy out log."
No success after rebooting the phone several times. Can anyone please shed some light? I really have no clue to what happened ... now I have to use the email client .
Thanks in advance for your help, really appreciate it.
I just checked to see if it was a problem with the app itself and mine is loading all conversations fine. Did you delete or replace anything prior to?
No I didn't do anything to the phone, not even install or uninstall any apps. This is so strange.
Maybe try removing the account and doing it again... It shouldn't mess anything else up. I'll try it out on my phone now to confirm.
[Update] Wouldn't let me do it because it's the primary. A factory reset is the only way to completely remove it. You can try clicking on sync gmail to stop it and then click on it again to force a refresh. Idk if that'll fix your particular problem though
Try going to settings, applications, manage applications, menu button, filter, all. Select gmail, clear data and clear cache. Then do the same with gmail storage, then try to resync.

I did a factory setting, unfortunately it did not fix the issue.
It doesn't work...
Ok, after 4hrs of insanity trying to figure out what suddently went wrong with my vibrant. I came to a conclusion that it's not my phone because when I added my wife's GMAIL account, the force close did not come up and all the conversations were loaded without any issues.
Apparently, the server where my GMAIL account is located seems to have some problems since I keep getting sync errors with contacts and calendar as well.
Have you tried logging into your account from an actual computer? Perhaps there is a problem with your account. I know I had weird sync errors when my account got compromised by a spammer last month, and google locked my account until I changed the password.

The weirdest thing is when I used my PC I didn't encounter any issues... That's why I thought the problem came from the phone @ the beginning.
Since this morning everything seems got back to normal. All the conversations loaded no problem.

I'm getting this now, too. My first two screens of gmail are shown but if I scroll down to where it says "Loading conversations" the after a few seconds the error pops up. I wonder if there is a "bad"email in our inbox that the gmail app doesn't know how to handle - something along three lines of unexpected characters in the email header/subject/etc or some partis badly formatted or too long like the header or something in it. Tomorrow (Sunday) I will try archiving my old messages on gmail and see if that makes the error go away. If it does then it a pretty good bet that one of the emails is causing three problem (the app still shouldn't crash but it would at least help explain what is happening).

Well I was able to avoid the error by archiving or deleting old emails in the inbox. I noticed when you have a large volume in one single label it causes the crash while loading conversations. I do not think it comes from a "bad" email, it's just a glitch in the app itself that folks @ Google need to work on.
Another thing that I noticed is when I logged-in my email using Nexus One, the force close did not occur but there was a failed connection-try again message.
Same problem here, noticed it today... good to know im not alone heh, but like the OP said im pretty sure it is a glitch in the app, so we'll maybe have to wait for a fix.
Confirmed, only by trying to scroll down really fast (and I'm on wifi). This was not an issue on my g1, of course I was using custom rom's. It'll certainly be addressed.
I have not encountered this problem with the Gmail app yet but I have had the exact same issue come up with the Messaging app twice so far.
But the problem has not stopped me from using the Messaging app and I was able to go right back into it each time it happened. It happened once about 30 minutes ago, and another time over a week ago.
I think it may have to do with the 200 text limit that I have turned off. Since Inbox is at 173 right now with Outbox 89, last deleted a few days ago and also with 33 conversations.
It does get a little laggy too but I have noticed it lag with only a few conversations with maybe an overall total of 30 text messages. I never had it lag this much on the G1 and I would have over 1000+ text messages and with cyanogenmod.
I am having the same issue.
I am getting the same thing too.
Mine started late last week after I updated the Facebook app. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling (highly doubt it was related, but due to coincidence I had to try it) and it was doing the same thing.
I did a factory wipe - same thing. I ran fix permissions and rebooted - same thing.
I am not sure it is related to having too many items in one label as I have just shy of 300 items in my inbox, and I have had about the same (give or take 2-3) for months (I use many, many labels to manage things), but I am going to try to organize, move, delete, archive, etc. some of my messages and see what happens.
Google knows of the issue.

Thanks for the link. I haven't had time to search today while I've been at work.
FYI, it looks like this may have been fixed. Mine has stopped doing it this morning. Checking the issue link that laris posted, nothing confirmed from Google that it is fixed yet though. Couple of people reporting that theirs is fixed too.

[Q] Cannot upload to youtube anymore

Hey guys
After a long while, I wanted to upload a video again from my HTC HD2.
So I recorded the video, and decided to upload it to YouTube, when I did go to my Album, and then 'Share' and then 'YouTube' and then clicking on the video, and then clicking 'Next', then my I get an error.
HTCAlbum.exe crashes.
I already tried to hardreset, and reïnstalling my ROM, but the problem still appears.
Later I saw that in Data Services in the settings of HD2, that the YouTube service is not slided on, when I logged in, it was still not going on.
Does anyone know how to fix this? or does anyone have this problem too?
Since a few days I also have the problem that my camera won't start randomly, it tells me 'Could not initialize camera' or something like that.
I dont know if this problem is in connection with the problem that I just explained above, but maybe someone knows a solution for this too.
Thanks in advance!
Greetz,
Joshoon
Anyone a clue?

So... this could be the same problems as there was with the Twittertab?
YouTube changed something in their servers, and now we can't login anymore?

Yea I knew that, it was very annoying when Twitter didnt work.
Now I dont use YouTube uploading too much, but I use it sometimes, and it is a feature of the phone, so I want it working
I think it has something to do with your account login settings but how to change those I am not sure! I know mine are wrong because I signd in with the wrong account and it kept saying temporarily unavailable when i tried to upload so i went to upload it from my pc and i realized my error. i am now trying to find out how to change the login settings to my real account info but i may just have to hard reset which sucks because i have so many tweaks so if anyone knows how to change the youtube account login info on the hd2 please let me know [email protected]

I think it is not my account, because it just worked fine before.
But I don't use my HD2 that much anymore, so I don't care about this problem anymore
its something with the uploader or the service.
I am using stock sprint rom 6.5 on my Touch Pro 2. clean install uploader works flawlessly. after so many uploads or so many days it stops working.
it uploads 100% then says failed service temporarily unavailable. FOREVER.
if I hard reset the phone it works again for a short time then stops again forever.
so "something" is "changing" that is "undone" when you hard reset.
suggestions? I REALLY REALLY like being able to click and upload using the web browser is enough of a pain in the ass that I would simply not do it any more.

I tried it out and noticed the same issue. I can't post links yet, so I'll copy paste something I found on google that fixed it
This worked for me on a HTC Desire HD:
1) Delete existing credentials via the process/application manager:
Settings - Applications - YouTube - Clear Data
2) Reset credentials from the YouTube application:
YouTube - my channel - instead of choosing the already configured "gmail.com" account select "add account" and then just enter the username without the "@gmail.com". Password is the same.
After doing this, I just selected the @youtube.com account instead of the @gmail.com at the upload screen and it worked fine.
Oh crap. I have the same issue. happen in youtube and picasa. wtf!!!

Apparently this is a bug in Android, and should be fixed in Gingerbread, which is a small consolation...
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/youtube/thread?tid=18c38016e596b885&hl=en
I've had this problem ever since I got my atrix back in march. Unless the file is 9MB all uploads fail for me. I've seen the following, all on wifi:
the 1GB message for files that are 200MB
for files between 20MB and 100MB the upload will go for 5 min or so, then crap out and retry, go for 5 min, crap out and retry etc etc. After 5 retries I just cancel the upload. A 9MB file will upload fine, but that's a 4 sec video...pretty useless.
it's a youtube app issue, I can upload the same video file to dropbox just fine.
It works mostly, sometimes it does the retry thing but files under 100 mb work for me.

Your set age on your youtube account might be too low (Make sure it's above 18).
If it doesn't work, wait 24 hours. That worked for a some people in a few forums I've read just now.
This might also be happening because of the country you're in.
I'm in Canada and some videos are blocked for me at times, so this is just a wild guess.

Same as what she said, but it usually is a server error with that problem. This means that basically you either take a wait and see approach or contact Youtube.
