Photo albums

I have noticed that my thumbnail views of my different albums are often the wrong picture, they are the correct picture when I select it, but the thumbnails can be just about any picture in my albums. They migrate from different albums as well, and from storage card to device. A soft reset does not help. Not a huge problem, more frustrating than anything when looking for a particular photo.
Anyone else have this issue, and is it fixable?

Nobody has encountered this?

Yes I've noticed it too. It seems to happen where the photo is an unusual size - for example, a cropped landscape that is long and thin.
Don't know how to fix it however!
When I sync photos with Windows Media Player, photos arrive in tiny, pretty much unusable format on the TP2 - can't seem to find a suitable setting in WMP to fix - anyone?

I've noticed this too. It seems to only happen when I start to scoll through the pics before they're done loading the thumbnails.

I tried letting all the thumbnails load first, but they load and stay incorrectly. Also, the more I go through pictures/albums, the more incorrect thumbnails seem to appear.

Recovering Deleted Video ?

I recorded a video using the camera, saved it, I watched it and then deleted it
Is there anyway to get it back ?
Thanks !

using the PC, it should be possible, yes. Have you recorded any other videos or otherwise "overwritten" space on the SD card? If yes, it may not work.

[Q] Photo album - can that be done?

for my old iPhone, i can have albums/folders called
Family
Friends
Pets
etc....
but in my DZ now, i only have
camera shots, all photos, and all downloads,
is there are way i can config my photos into different albums/folders?
right now i copied all my photos in folders and dumped into the micro SD, DCIM folder, and now it only shows me that i have +1000pics in "camera shots"
is there a free app or widget i can config my photos?
please advise~

All photo's you put in the DCIM folder show up as camera shots. If you want them to appear as albums you have to put the folders in the root of your SD card.
Sucks? not really i think, Android already makes an unbelievable clutter of your SD card.

For example if you put all your family photos in a folder called 'Family', there should be a Family folder displayed in the Gallery with those photos you put in.
It doesn't matter where those images are stored in the sd card - Gallery will scan the whole sd card.

Thx for the quick responds!
it works!!!

Video playback issues S4

Okay so I cant get my S4 to playback the videos I've recorded.
It won't pick them up when I go to gallery or videos
The only way I can play them back is if I use a file manager or go into files and find them manually
The videos save by default in DCIM/etc... on my phones memory
The only change I did was delete the .thumbnail folder located in DCIM folder
After that the videos or pictures would not be picked up by the device
To add to this. I copied the videos and pictures in question to my external sd card
Still my s4 was unable to pick them up.
So I transferred the external sd to an old Galaxy s2 from T-Mobile that I have and to my surprise they played fine and where able to berecognized by this phone.
Again the only way I can play back the videos is if i look for them manually using FILE or another file manager.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? Because aswell any video that I download and add to the phone wont playback unless I do the work around mentioned abovei

Re-create the ".thumbnail" folder located in the DCIM folder" even if it's empty.
Then create a short video.
Then with a file manager like root explorer click on the video file you just created and
it should ask you what you want to open it with, click on the video app you want to use
as "default" for video files and be sure to click "Always".
Good luck!

hi , I have a similar issue, any videos ive recorder or saved from snapchat etc, whenever I try and view them , a black screen comes up and it says cannot play video. to view them I have to upload them onto my laptop, other than that I have no idea on what to do. thanks

Photos save to SD card but videos won't save to SD card

Hi, all. I'm having a weird problem.
While images are saved to the SD card using the stock camera app, videos will not. I checked both internal and external SD cards using ES explorer in the DCIM folder and the videos doesn't exist. The camera app will show that the video is being recorded but after hitting stop, the video isn't there. I switched the option to save to internal storage and it works, switch back to external SD card and no go. I repeat, photos will save to SD, but not videos, so it doesn't look like a permissions problem.
I have a HTC One M8 with Lineage OS version 14.1-20170928-NIGHTLY, but this problem existed also in previous versions (can't tell since when exactly). This happens also to this guy, so it's not a device-specific problem.
Thank you for your answers.

Your best bet is to post this question within the following Official LineageOS thread for your device.
Since you didn't specify if you had the Single or Dual SIM device, i provided both the thread links.

Sounds like you guys have quite high end devices. Can it be, the data rate is to high for your SD cards? My low end moto e has may be lower video resolution. No problem in recording to SD.
