I just got a Nokia N95 cell phone and am delighted with its camera capability. Actually, this post is a might bit premature, as I have not even paid for it yet, officially still testing it out, on loan from my friend Don.
One feature I was especially excited about was being able to connect to ShoZu. ShoZu allows you to directly send photos and videos darn near anywhere you might want them online. I love to share photos on Flickr and quickly got online and signed up at ShoZu.
It didn’t work. I tried again. It didn’t work. After messing with it for a while, I said to heck with it and took it off my phone. As a last-ditch effort, I emailed their tech support. They got back to me today and explained the drill. It took about three minutes to fix. I quickly posted on Twitter about this solution and had more than one person ask me for the solution. Apparently it wasn’t obvious to many people.
It’s wicked easy to fix but not obvious, as their initial instructions online don’t seem to work. Here is the solution. If this helps you get set up, let me know and show some link love!
It sounds as though you may have activated ShoZu
on your phone as a ‘new user’ rather than an ‘existing user’. To see if
this is the case, open ShoZu and click on ‘Options’ -> ‘Go to’ ->
‘Settings’ -> ‘My account’. If the username displayed on the ‘My
account’ screen is different to the one you log into the ShoZu web
portal (http://www.shozu.com/portal/login.do) with you will need to
deactivate ShoZu and then reactivate it using your existing username and
password. You can deactivate ShoZu from the ‘transfer status’ screen in
the settings menu and when you reactivate just make sure you activate as
an existing ShoZu user (this can be done by clicking on ‘Options’, then
‘Sign-in to account’).If you added Flickr as an upload destination from the phone, you would
have been sent an email with a Flickr authorization link. Clicking on
the link will authorize ShoZu to upload images to Flickr on your behalf.
If you did not complete this step, this may explain why your images
aren’t arriving at Flickr.
And now here I am, happy as a clam that everything works:
