I am running TnT Lite 4.4 (Love it).
I have moved some pictures onto both the internal sdcard and sdcard2. But gallery does not pick them up and display them. It sees my picasa pics, but nothing local.
I do not see any options under Gallery to set a local directory.
Does nayone know how to configure Gallery to look at a local dir for pictures?
I'm seeing the same thing. So far in searches I haven't found an answer.
Additional behavior, if I browse to a picture in the file manager it opens with gallery, but the only controls that work are the zoom in/out. The more and share controls will briefly show and then disappear if you long press.
Me too...
I have been having Gallery problems for some time now, about 2 weeks to be exact. I get no thumbnails, and no gallery found. Nothing I have tried to do will show the pics on my gtablet. However, if I go into an app like RootExplorer, and go to the folder with pics, I can get them to be displayed by apps like Just Pictures, etc. Even Gallery will display the individual pics but very slowly.
So far, have not been able to conquer this problem. I was told to add a folder named .nomedia . But that did not work.
It's aggravating not having Gallery working.

Dear all,
I am looking for a gallery app with the option to display all photos on my android without being grouped into folders, so they display all at once.
I have a couple of camera apps which store photos in their own separate folders, and it's becoming a bit of a mess. Of course I could move all photos (and downloaded pictures) into one folder, but I would need to be doing this regularly.
Any ideas?
Cheers
gallery... all photos...
or get quickpic and add all the folders and none of the junk ones.
Thanks, but that's not quite what I meant.
I want the any gallery app which will display ALL of the photos/images on the sd card without having me choose a folder first.
Is there a way to get the gallery to not display all subfolders or another app that can? I have several hundred wedding pictures I moved to my SD card in about 10 subfolders all under one folder called Wedding Pictures. When I open the gallery I can see all the subfolders, I would like to just see the main folder at first. I also tried Quickpic, that isn't displaying properly either.
Hi all
Just got my new S3 today, came across from a HTC and boy this thing's not as intuitive to set up or sync contacts as Sense is. Anyway, that aside, I have a strange problem with the gallery and pictures I've uploaded to the phone.
Firstly, every time I open gallery, it displays all my locally stored photos and also all my Facebook albums. I select "View files on this device" and it drops my facebook photos off, butbwhen I quit the gallery and come back to it later it does thecsame, there doesn't seem to be a way to grt it to remember my default choice of local photos only.
Secondly, I have about a dozen folders with photos, all resized ftom originals I took on my camera to save size, and I've changed their file name using "Thailand Photo 001" "Thailand Photo 002" 003 004 etc. They were all renamed using a batch renamer so their creation date/time stamp is the same. They are in folders named "01 Thailand", "02 Vietnam" "03 Cambodia" etc.
When I use the stock S3 Gallery app, not only are the folders displayed in reverse order from the highest number back to 01, all the photos are displayed in reverse order too, from the highest to the lowest. In Quickpic they all display fine.
My girlfriends non-ICS Galaxy Note displays the albums in the right order, but the photos reversed also.
Apart from using Quickpic, I'm loathe to leave the stock gallery app because if the face recognition and tagging etc, has anybody else seen this problem, maybe on an S2 or somewhere? I've emailed Samsung tech support but I don't have much faith in them - I emailed them previously querying the ICS update for the Note and they emailed back saying they had no information on it.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
I may have an idea about your Facebook pics problem, but that would disable syncing your Facebook photos to your Gallery altogether.
Go to Settings - Accounts and sync - Add account
There should be 2 options for Facebook
The first, simply called Facebook, is generated by having the Facebook app installed on your phone and will not sync your Facebook photos at all
The second, called Facebook (for syncing) should be inherent to the phone and will sync your photos. Remove that account and no more Facebook pics in your gallery
Thanks...
I just typed out a complete answer to you, popped to another tab and came back to find the page reloaded, so I'll keep this brief!
Re gallery issue - Samsung say it'll display photos newest first and that's that, the phone won't do it any other way, so my gallery shows my folders and photos in reverse order, ie newest photo at top descending to oldent, and the most recently crested sub-folder at the top - regardless of the file naming order.
I then emailed photos of the "My Files" app showing the correct file order - ie oldest at the top, descending to newest, and folders in the correct descending order, showing that an app can use the name & date correctly and in the 'correct' descending order - and also screenshots of QuickPic showing folders in the correct <001 trip part 1><002 trip part 2><003 trip part 3> order.
Samsung then backtracked in saying ok the phone can do it but the gallery can't, but their way is the correct way.
I pointed out that, ascseen in the screenshots, Gallery actuallt displays folders out of both date and file name order, but they skipped over that. I'll just have to either live with it or just use QuickPic.
Thanks for your advice re the facebook photos - I removed Facebook sync, and google pic sync, and no more Facebook or picasa pics!
Galaxy S9+
Some photos does not appear in Gallery app, but in My Files app, when I open the camera folder all photos are there.
Any Ideas?
It will be in dcim directory either on phone or memory card, depending on your settings you choose. I did pick up that depending on what type of photos/vidoes/ar etc is taken, will depend where it stores the pics etc...not everything is stored in dcim anymore
Check to see if they are in your secure folders app.
Hoping you can help
Ideally I want to be able to fix all issues on the phone itself without the need to connect to a laptop.
1. Phone clone worked but didn't transfer my pictures in album just in one big gallery? How can I get back into albums?
2. All photos repeat in both Huawei gallery and Google photos as default? I only need one. Can you just delete the other?
3. Big issue: all my music artwork shows up in my photo gallery so I have thousands of albums covers mixed in with my normal photos. It takes ages searching through my photos. I don't want to see any music artwork in my photo albums just on the music app when I play music. How can I hide this simply? It's for driving me mad! I don't understand the terminology around creating a no media file etc.
4. With Huawei mail how do you restore deleted emails to inbox. Doesn't seem to give the option but the trash button is where the reply button is on iPhone so easy deleted!
5. I deleted the Huawei alarm and weather by accident and they are no where to be seen in the play store. Surely there is an easy way to restore other than factory reset!?
Thanks
First of all. Welcome to the android side! I am not too sure of your first few questions as I never had them before.
As for the alarm and weather app. Have you tried finding them on the hauwei app gallery? If it is not there. Then you may have to do a factory reset. Or if there are any ADB methods you can try
Sorry that I am not of much help.
1: I don't know how Albums are organized in iPhone, but in Google photos they are just labels, all photos are present in the gallery, even if they are labeled in an album (I don't use Huawei gallery, only Google Photos).
2: I don't know exactly what you mean, but Gallery and Google Photos are most probably collecting the photos from one location, if you delete the photos in one app, they are most probable deleted in the other one. I backup all my photos with Google Photos. But if you want to get rid of one of the apps, I haven't but I just use Google Photos.
3: an empty .nomedia file in a specific folder prevents the folder to be scanned by the gallery or Google Photos, there is probable a file like this in Local Storage > Android > Data folder, go see File manager (in settings enable hidden files) and look for a .nomedia file and copy it to the Album Artwork folder.
4: I don't use Huawei mail, just Gmail.
5: I know Weather is nowhere available online (had the same issue), hard reset is probably the only way.
