Hi there, guys!
First of all I would like to say that I find annoying the fact that the phone uses the oldest photos in order to use them for the gallery wallpaper.
I copied some pictures today which were read as older and changed my gallery wallpaper.
I changed the file properties and the files I wanted were the oldest again.
But the wallpaper wouldn't change |(it has happened again in the past), so I deleted the .thumbnails folder and let it recreate them again.
All OK, now, it has used the photos I wanted, but like in the past when I had done this again, in the gallery all the videos have no thumbnail anymore...
Do you know any workaround for this problem?
P.S.: There should be an option to choose which photos to use for the gallery wallpaper IMHO..
Hello,
Try openning "Play Movies" app and click on "Personal Videos".
That re-creates my video thumnails.
Thanks,

Hello my friend and thanks for trying to help!
Unfortunately I don't have such an app...
Do you know where I can get it from?
I searched in play shop but i couldn't find an exact match...
EDIT: Seems like goggle videos is not available for my country. Even trying to manually install the apk didn't work (parse error)
Any other ideas anyone, please?
EDIT2: I used Market enabler and managed to install google play videos, chose "Personal Videos" and it did restore the thumbnails..
Thanks a million dmoney98 !!!!

Did you manage to find a solution to this? I have noticed the same problem. What I have found though is that if you use a different gallery app like quikpic this problem doesn't exist. It only seems to happen with the stock gallery app.
Hi guys,
No matter what I do, the pictures of my contacts remain not only small, but also pixelated beyond recognition. I know there are replacement apps, such as UCS and BIG!, but isn't there anything I can do in order to get decent caller photos in the stock Phone app?
Thanks!

Yes, exactly. I wonder, am I the only one's whose pictures are not as they should be? Perahps I've done something incorrectly, though I cannot imagine what....
Use friend caster pro. My caller id pics are crystal clear. App makes it look crispy
If you getting the pics from facebook then friendcaster is the way to go. Nice, clear pics

Its not you at all. I have had the same issue with several Android devices. Some had painful work arounds. I have seen this talked about numerous times for the RAZR and it is always the same. Use a different app or you will have crappy pics.
Its the same problem anyone with an android phone runs into.
When u sync your contacts with your Gmail/Google account the pics are reduced for the icon it uses online, and then resynced over your phones pics.
Absolutely the stupidest problem which should have been taken care of a long time ago.
either way u need to turn off the syncing. And then manually fix your pics. Or go the Facebook approach as mentioned.
Either way u need to turn off the sync or it will happen again

And I said how to have nice pics in default app. After syncing with contapps all pictures will be there. This will not, of course, fix his buged contact app, but will make possible what he asked for.

Easy fix. Take a pic of every person in your contact list and then assign them to the contacts. There is the answer as well as many others. This is not new to android. HTC seems to be able to produce a better image for some reason when synced w Google but still an overall android issue. Been like that since the DROID Eris.

Hello all,
Is there a way to change screenshot location so Google photos don't upload them??
I saw about an app but it's payable and I wonder if I can avoid it...
S9+,exynos,not rooted ...
Thanks

Why not just disable uploading of that folder in Google photos app?
There is no option to sync only the screenshots folder. This one is integrated in Camera folder. This is a Samsung "feature" and I don't like it, too. [emoji2955]
