Instagram continues to prevent posting videos from Samsung phones
Some of the users of the photo and video social network currently most widespread and well-known cannot participate in it. We are referring to Instagram, and users of Samsung devices that have been updated to version 4.3 of Android, better known as Jelly Bean And the problem lies in the Unable to publish videos recorded with the application or trying to be published through it.One of its most striking functions and that, for the moment, does not have a solution
The problem arose with the recently released wave of Android updates for Samsung terminals Thus, the range Galaxy in its different varieties: S3, S4, Note 2 and Note 3, who can finally enjoy Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, produce an error when posting videos via Instagram A problem that , therefore, it would reside in the Android version that Samsung has distributed to its terminals and not in the photos and videos application itself.
In this way, although the social network is fully functional in all other aspects, forces the closure when publishing a video.In fact it is possible to make the entire recording of 15 seconds of duration, being able to stop it and continue it to create different shots just by letting go of the screen. In addition, it is even possible to choose the frame that would illustrate the video on the wall if it could be published. However, when going to the next stage, the application returns the error that forces it to close, finally preventing it from outputting this content.
The wait of many users continues without response despite the recent updates of the application Instagram However, the new versions seem to focus on Instagram Direct, the new messaging function, fixing specific bugs or malfunctions found in versions previous. But without solving the problem of the videos. And it seems that this would only be affecting the terminals of Samsung, leaving responsibility for the error on its roof, perhaps related to the latest distribution ofAndroid 4.3 launched.
Apparently at the moment there is no solution Not officially. However, some users claim in different Internet forums that they have managed to make Instagram work by installing ROMS or custom Android environments that do not depend on Samsung A not too complex process but that implies losing the warranty of the terminalwhen having to modify it to get the permissions of superuser or root
Along with this, it is possible to request Samsung to downgrade the Android version installed in the terminal. Another process that involves taking a step back and returning to a more unstable environment of the device as well as unsafeand outdatedIn other words, problems that should be avoided.
In short, a bug that is annoying the experience of the latest great features added in Instagram and for the moment there is no solution . And it is that the most feasible thing, seen what has been seen, would be that Samsung launched a new version of Android 4.3 for their terminals, correcting whatever is preventing them from posting videos on this social network. At the moment there is no official statement from Instagram or from Samsung
