New phone won't upload photos through Tapatalk?
New phone won't upload photos through Tapatalk?
by vwJim » Wed Nov 12, 2014 7:36 pm
Got a new phone in the last few days, and found that when you try attach a photo to a thread using Tapatalk it says the image is not valid. (ie select it from the gallery, it thinks about it for a few seconds then a warning pops up)
Used to work fine with the old phone. The new one is running Android 4.4.4 if that helps solve this?

I have the same Jim. I need to update Tapatalk - hopefully Friday night.
A workaround is to use reducephotosize app before posting

What size does the site accept?
The images are about 3Mb, and 3840x2160

I've moved the images over to the laptop, (which sees them fine), but even uploading through the normal laptop method it still comes up with invalid image, so I guess its not Tapatalk, but the images themselves.
I guess I've got the most up to date Tapatalk as only installed it today.

Resizing them on the laptop has enable the images to be uploaded so that seems to have answered one issue.
Doesn't sort the uploading direct from the phone though.

I mean the tapatalk plugin for the forum.
The app that I use on my phone is this

Well the tapatalk plugin didn't fix it...
If anybody is on iOS please can they try to upload a picture over 1mb to see what happens

I have also submitted a support ticket - I think the app can't cope with newer phones with high res cameras

Not sure if It's just the app '
I moved the images offf the phone, onto laptop. Tried uploading the image and still didn't work. Changed the res' down to VGA and worked straight away.

I cleared the data of my tapatalk and now I can upload picture by pressing the camera tab. That puts the photo on imageshack which isn't ideal but better than it not working

Strange, I don't have the camera option?
