Thread: BBM 5 pic problem

Its working great for me, I go into pictures and select the pic I want to send then hit berrybutton and send or share and select option of where to send it! I have never seen a progress bar before, are you doing it some other way?

I have this issue from time to time as well, I am not sure what is causing it, could take some time before RIM gets all going well with it.

When the receiver accepts it, a progress bar appears. Does it everytime except it never moves from 0%.

Between my wife and myself we have the problem that photos are hard to transfer between our 2 Bold 9000's.
The method we use for sending photos is to take a photo, then select on the rhs the email logo, and select "send to messenger contact" The BBM 5 (both using 5.0.0.33, the latest official BBM) gives us the choice to switch application or close, normally close, BB then sends photos as full resolution (1600*1200, 430kB Jpeg).

Before this I was using 5.0.0.8 in which I could crop or zoom the photo and a screen size (320*240) size would be sent.

I tried "Shrinkit" from berrycoder.com to make the photos smaller, however the wife still claims that she can't receive the photos?

If she sends me a photo with BBM then I accept and the progress bar comes up and normally fails at about 70%.:irked:

Before the latest update to BBM5 we would send via BBM5 snapshots for each other, and if we wanted to have full photos we would email them.
Now we just resort to email of photos, which are always large.

Since we are in different countries for a couple of months we would like to get this working again. Any suggestions?:hail:

Unfortunately I don't think anyone has figured this out yet.

Since upgrading to the new official OS the ability to send and receive pics over BBM has improved but still fails too often.....GRRRRRRR

is RIM aware of this issue? is there a way to open up a complain or trouble ticket ?
