why do I get connection error code 3 in phonegap2.9 android camera api while selecting the image from my phone's gallery?

Question

I am using phonegap 2.9 for the developement of my android app. I get error code 3 while uploading the image from my phone's galery.

I have been following the documentation of the phonegap provided in http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.9.0/cordova_camera_camera.md.html#Camera and for uploading the picture i have been following the file transfer phonegap documentation http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.9.0/cordova_file_file.md.html#File .

I have no problem while selecting the image from the phone's gallery. But I get error in alert box when I upload it to the web server.

The image selection and upload from the phone's gallery to the server works completely fine in samsung grand,samsung s, htc but gives error code 3 i.e connection error while testing in samsung s3 and s4.

Most often, after capturing the image or selecting the image from the gallery the application restarts.

Any kind of help would be appreciated.

the js code:

   <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  window.picsrc="";
window.myImage="";
    var pictureSource;   // picture source
    var destinationType; // sets the format of returned value 

    document.addEventListener("deviceready",onDeviceReady,false);

    function onDeviceReady() {
        pictureSource=navigator.camera.PictureSourceType;
        destinationType=navigator.camera.DestinationType;
    }

    function onPhotoDataSuccess(imageData) {

      var smallImage = document.getElementById('smallImage');

      smallImage.style.display = 'block';

      smallImage.src = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + imageData;
      picsrc="data:image/jpeg;base64," + imageData;
    myImage=imageData;
   document.getElementById('eme').value=myImage; 

    }

    function onPhotoURISuccess(imageURI) {


      var smallImages = document.getElementById('smallImage');


      smallImages.style.display = 'block';

    smallImages.src = imageURI;
    <?php if($plat=="iOS"){?>
    document.getElementById('smallImage').style.display = 'none';
    document.getElementById('nophoto').innerHTML = "Your Photo has been recieved";
    <?php }?>
    picsrc=imageURI;
     myImage=imageURI;
    }
    function capturePhoto(){
    document.getElementById('upload_uri').style.display= 'none';
    document.getElementById('hide_upload').style.display= 'block';
      navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoDataSuccess, onFail, { quality: 50,
        destinationType: destinationType.DATA_URL, targetWidth: 464});

      camera.correctOrientation(true);
      });
    }

    function capturePhotoEdit() {
    alert('edit');
      navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoDataSuccess, onFail, { quality: 20, allowEdit: true,
        destinationType: destinationType.DATA_URL });
    }


    function getPhoto(source) {
      navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoURISuccess, onFail, { quality: 50, 
        destinationType: destinationType.FILE_URI,
        sourceType: source,
          correctOrientation: true, allowEdit: true});
      document.getElementById('hide_upload').style.display= 'none';
      document.getElementById('upload_uri').style.display= 'block';
    }


    function onFail(message) {
      alert('Failed because: ' + message);
    }

  function photoUpload() {
  var img = document.getElementById('smallImage');   
myImage = img.src;

    if (myImage=="") { 
    alert("take picture first");       
    } 
var options = new FileUploadOptions();
            options.fileKey="file";
            options.fileName=myImage.substr(myImage.lastIndexOf('/')+1);

            var ft = new FileTransfer();
            ft.upload(myImage, "http://app.appyagents.com.au/upload2.php", win, fail, options);

  }

          console.log("Code = " + r.responseCode);
            console.log("Response = " + r.response);

           var str=r.response;
var n=str.indexOf("image_name=");
var n_l=str.indexOf(".png");

         if(r.responseCode){
         var imgg=str.substr(n+11,n_l+1);
         var index1=imgg.indexOf("2");
         var real_img=imgg.substr(index1,index1+18);
         window.location="property_step2.php?image_name="+real_img+"&platform=<?php

echo $plat.'&rid='.$rid;?>"; } }

        function fail(error) {
          switch (error.code)

    </script>

the html code:

the logcat says:

Have a look at my answer to this question [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17445840/want-to-upload-a-pic-to-the-server-using-phonegap-in-android/17447249#17447249). Hope that helps — Amol Chakane, Aug 30 '13 at 09:54
i have almost done the same thing as you have said in there.The image selection and upload from the phone's gallery to the server works completely fine in samsung grand but gives error code 3 i.e connection error while testing in samsung s3 and s4. — mahima, Sep 01 '13 at 03:46
check this [answer](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11754299/phonegap-android-unable-to-upload-image-using-filetransfer/14220608#14220608). You may have to resolve the uri before uploading. — Davor Zlotrg, Sep 03 '13 at 07:52
Thank @DZL i have resolved the uri as a filename but the problem is the same. moreover i'm not being able to select the image or capture the image.my app crashes or restarts when i finsih selecting/ capturing the image — mahima, Sep 03 '13 at 09:51

Depending on error log, it seems the issue is with server side script. Also as you said it happens on some devices, I would like to have a look at **AndroidaManifest** code. — Amol Chakane, Sep 04 '13 at 04:57
@AmolChakane i have edited with manifest code in the question — mahima, Sep 04 '13 at 05:55
yes i have done that.@AmolChakane but the problem is still the same. — mahima, Sep 05 '13 at 07:25
If you can share complete code on git, I can spend some time to figure out the issue. — Amol Chakane, Sep 16 '13 at 05:26
Thank you all of you .I have successfully uploaded by changing the file uri to data when selecting the photo — mahima, Sep 27 '13 at 09:27
