The facebook app definitely has not links to it. I used the browser to get to the site and selected full site. I get all the way into upload and the upload page says uploads disabled. Anyone know why this would be?
I registered my phone number on my previous phone (same number/provider now) with facebook and have an upload email address. On my previous phone I successfully uploaded videos using this method.
So I tried it on the droid. First problem I had was with the messaging app. I can't figure out how to search my contacts from the To:. If I start typing the contacts come up but it only lists phone numbers...
I found that the Contacts has an menu option for Display Options. That's where the Only contacts with phones check box is...sigh...still doesn't show up in the messaging app. I even killed it hoping some kind of refresh was needed.
nope...no emails. Why doesn't the message app have a conacts menu option :/
So I go to contacts which now has facebook email in it. I find facebook. I hit edit. I press and hold on the email text box...copy all... then restart messaging and paste the email into the to....ugh...that was quite a bit of work..at least now I have a message thread to reuse..cause that was a PITA.
I then hit upload and select my video...all my videos of which the longest is 20 seconds (I've always been able to mms up-to-30 seconds on Verizon) error out saying they are two big. btw...my samsung flip phone with windoze 2 would go into a "formatting for messaging" sequence before sending it.
So I take a 2 second video attach it and send it off...
facebook texts back "Sorry an error occurred processing your video. Please try again in a little while.".....d'oh!!!
huge props to anyone who can come up with a way to upload video either 3G or wi-fi to facebook. I'm going to try USB mounting and upload on the computer but that defeats the whole purpose.
huger props to anyone who can figure out why the main facebook site says "Video Uploads Disabled" when I surf from my phone....the conspiracy theory person thinks collusion!
