Instagram For Android Not Working In Samsung Galaxy Y Young GT- S5360
I’ve just installed the newly released Instagram for Android App today on my Samsung Galaxy Y Young GT- S5360 that occupied 16.59MB of space in the limited internal memory. The popular photo application for iPhone and other Apple products like iPad, iPod is now ported to the Android OS. This will give a new user base to Instagram. Sorry to spoil the excitement of Samsung Galaxy Y users, the Instagram application is currently not working properly.
The experience will progress from downloading the app properly from Google Play. You may find it unusual with its large file space for a photo app, installing would be going smoothly, signing up would be easy as 123, following other users/friends from other social networks like Facebook and twitter adds to the excitement of sharing the photos in a while after all of those steps… Ended with the disappointment to start in adding effects/filters and the uploading of the photos to the social networks with just a black or blank photo. At least border can be be seen around it, but it doesn’t compensate the failure, I guess.
This is just the the first release of Instagram for Android and I’m hoping there will be a fix to it on the next update. Though I’m aware that Instagram use OpenGL 2.2 and Galaxy Y has OpenGL 1.1. As for me and everyone else, waiting will be the best thing to do.

According to Quadrant Standard app Samsung Galaxy Y has OpenGL ES 2.0.
Yes, that’s true. Tried myself.
I was so disappointed when i found out that instagram is not working with samsung galaxy y because I’ve been waiting for this app since forever and now, all i have is a blank or black photo. This is a part of the Android family, the developer should do something with this.
Quadrant says that my little Galaxy Y has OpenGL ES 2. So………
Using Gingerbread 2.3.6.
yeah me too! I was so excited knowing that Instagram is already in Android. But as everyone says, it doesn’t work and all I can see is a black image in posting a picture. They should do something about it, because there are a lot of people using Samsung Galaxy Y phones. Thank you!

Why is my Samsung Galaxy Y Young GT-S5360 incompatible for Instagram? Please help.
Instagram for android is now version 1.02 unfortunately Samsung Galaxy Y Young GT-S5360 is now unsupported. Facebook just bought Instagram so lets hope that our phone will be added on the list of supported Android devices.
don’t crop the photo or resize it… you can just move the box and upload it..
I just want to clear that, Samsung Galaxy Y has met the requirements to run Instagram.
It has Android 2.3 and using Quadrant Standard (a benchmarking app for 3D, GPU etc), the GPU of Galaxy Y has OpenGL ES 2.0.
You check it out for your self. Quadrant is free.
please please, fix it ASAP! i can’t find other app better than Instagram.
