Photo Uploads Don't Work

[matthileo]

Whenever I try to upload photos through the built in photo uploading app (it doesn't matter what service I try to upload to) the photo fails to upload, giving an "Upload error" notification. When the notification is clicked I get the following error: "Can't send response now. Data services are unavailable."

I've seen some people mention doing a full factory reset (on other Motorola DROID phones) and this possibly fixing the issue, but I would definitely like to avoid this at all costs.

Additionally, and this may or may not be related, my phone has trouble syncing with verious social networks at various times.

Stuff I've Tried Already
I have tried on both WiFi and 3g (both connections work fine for everything else)
I have updated my roaming with *228
I have tried a factory reset
Data Manager is not set to Wait for WiFi to upload
I have tried removing and re-adding the accounts

Anyone?

I just uploaded a pic to FB without any difficulty, captions crossed over too. Sorry mine is working….

Sounds like connectivity problems... did you try going somewhere else in your area and see if you got the same problems... did you go into your settings and turn your "global" setting to "cdma"... ? ... did you dial *228 and select option 2 that updates your roaming?
Do you have any of your data manager settings set to "wait for wifi to upload"?

Sorry. I should have said that in the first place.

First answer solves it... its not your 3G if you get the same problem on wifi... I would go into the store and try the same things on the display phone... then you can show the rep that yours has a problem compared to their floor model and swap that bad-boy...

you are not alone! I have this issue as well soooo frustrating i found that if i use the facebook app or the youtube app vids and pics upload fine but always fails when i try from the gallery

5 point alm: exploding :heart:technique

 

[b00mb00mchuck]

I just tried it from the gallery and got the same error message... but I know mine is caused by the two facebook apps on this device... the stock one that came with the phone is crap so I use facebook for android from the market... so I tried again from the gallery and hit share... then scrolled down to the facebook app icon from the market and it worked fine... I never set up the D3FB app so it makes sense on my end..

Mine doesn't work either. Kind of crazy as I can do everything else perfectly fine.

Using the preloaded app, I cannot upload photos to either facebook or photobucket, however by dling and using their individual apps, I can just fine. Im content to use the individual apps like I did on my droid 1.

I'm not sure but i think the preloaded facebook and photobucket apps aren't actuall apps,their just for syncing your contacts and stuff. I could be wrong tho.

Facebook was initially failing to upload for me, but when I deleted the internal account, added the real app account, then added back the internal account it still didn't work. Facebook upload only worked for me after I allowed "DROID" on Facebook to publish to my wall.
I just tried adding Photobucket and there didn't seem to be any problems.
Tried over both 3G and Wifi with same result, so see if "DROID" is blocked in Facebook preferences.

Have you also tried connecting it to your comp and seeing if there are any errors produced using DDMS?

EDIT: Almost forgot, if all else fails you can select the external facebook app as the upload client when you go to share.

Removing it from Facebook and my phone and then adding it back worked perfectly for me.

I don't know for sure, but I think moto fixed it on their end. It seems to be working today.

Is that really anything Moto can fix without a software update? I wouldn't think so. If anything, you would think that FB would have to change something. Plus it was working for some, just not for others so that's even more reason that Moto probably didn't have anything to do with it.
