Hi, I've just bought a Galaxy Nexus, and I've noticed that there is always a permanently empty album in the Gallery, named after me. I don't know where it could have got the name from exactly, however I'm guessing from my "Me" contact in the phone? I know for sure that it isn't a picasa album. Anyone have a similar issue to this? I want to get rid of it if i can, but I see no way that I can delete it.

Have you checked G+ albums? Maybe you've got one named after you
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Nope, nothing there. My Google+ Albums have the picasa logo on them, but this blank one doesn't have any sort of logo. Can't delete it either.
Anybody got any ideas?
Well i've posted a thread on the Android Help forums, but I hope I don't have to end up resetting my phone

May be a dumb question, but have you tried deleting it? I tried transferring pictures onto my GN and ended up with some ghost folders that I just deleted.

I can't delete it, I don't have that option. Also it was there from when I first booted up my Galaxy Nexus

Ive been searching and searching and have not been able to find it. Hopefully it does exist already. Rom im using is supernova with CW3. EXT 4 so it would have to be compatible with that. Also if there is to many known issues with it let me know. TIA.

No push?
Is it just me, or does this app not support push/IMAP Idle? Even with Gmail set up using IMAP, the emails don't come until refreshed or it checks for new mail, and there is no option for "as items arrive."
What's the deal with that? Very disappointing, unless I'm missing something.

Do you guys happen to know if this version still has the same issues as the version that's been floating around since the galaxy tab came out?
I've flashed it before, worked great, or so I thought, until without warning I stopped receiving e-mail pushes. Apparently its an issue specific to exchange (which I'm using) with specific e-mails that will lock it up and prevent any new e-mails from being pushed. If you delete said problematic e-mails, it will start syncing again, but I can't take that chance with work.
If any of you guys happen to use exchange with this new galaxy tab e-mail app and have reliable success with it I'd love to hear about it. Otherwise it's plain old regular email app for me
I can't seem to upload my screenshots all the time... sometimes is says it failed to contact servers, sometimes it says that the file I'm trying to upload is incorrect... And then sometime it works... I really don't understand what is the problem. Do any of you guys have or had the same problem?

I always get the 'jpg has the wrong file extension.. ' even though the screenshot is obviously .png so I rename the files as .jpg and they upload and display fine! - plain weird!

Not to hijack your thread but how come pictures hardly ever show up when browsing threads. They almost always show as a black box
Only rarely can I view them ;(

Just upload your shots to photobucket. Then tap the img link and copy it into the text entry window. No need to insert image link. It works perfectly fine for me

Maybe just redownload the app?

I deleted GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk and the odex originally to try and fix my sync issues for my stock Calendar. Well I restored them back into System/Apps but every time I click "Calendars to Sync" in the stock Calendar app, the app crashes and says "Force Closed". I had also deleted CalendarProvider.apk and odex to see if that would do anything but I also restored that. I don't see Calendar under the Sync menu in Settings. This is all on Jelly Bean 4.1.1 complete pure stock, no roms. Anyone know how to fix this without actually restoring the phone?
I'm curious why you think deleting calendar related system apps would solve a sync issue?

I honestly don't know. I was just trying everything to get it to work... pretty stupid, I know. But now it's even more messed up.
Flashing a Rom should solve it

Wouldn't flashing erase everything and require me to back everything up? If so, i'd rather not go through all of that just to fix the Calendar at this point. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Actually it did work before I deleted these things, but I was trying to something else with the Calendar and it wasn't showing up on the phone while it was showing on the web. I learned recently after reading about it that the app itself doesn't support subscription calendars yet so what I really did was all pointless.
So a friend and I both have this phone. Both rooted. He added a JB rom and I am on the stock Touchwiz rom. We have been trying to send stuff and only thing that goes is a contact. If I open Quickpic and select a photo to send to him, it takes him to the Play Store where it wants him to install Quickpic. If I try to send a song it appears to be uploading on my phone and does nothing on his. He tries to send a photo or .mp3 to me and he gets an error that my device does not support large file transfer via NFC or something.
I did a search on Google and saw where it says photos and songs are able to be sent until JB. If that's the case, how is Samsung advertising this feature and it doesn't work on what's currently available.
If I am doing something wrong...please advise.
Probably because the Samsung software isn't on the JB rom your friend installed (sbeam).

Nah. The s3 only wants to send files with Sbeam. Don't ask me why I'm not an expert, maybe someone has a work around but I wasn't about to send files between my S3 and nexus via nfc

Hi there,
I am new to the forums but am wondering if anyone could help me in recovering recorded videos/photos.
My mom recently passed away from cancer and these video files are extremely important to me as it was her last words to me. Before unlocking and rooting my phone, I created a full backup through the Nexus Root toolkit program. However, in restoring the files, it only pushed back a fraction of the files I had on my phone.
Is there any way of restoring all my files or even just the photos and videos? I am completely distraught and I have tried all the data recovery programs for android but unfortunately none of the applications work as the Samsung Galaxy Nexus cannot mount an SD card.
If anyone could provide any input, it would be much appreciated.
My direct contact is: [email protected]
With sincerest regards,
Richard

That's rough. By chance did you have auto upload turned on? If so they should be present on your google account.
Do you still have the backup from the nexus toolkit? Can you explore it for the DCIM directory?

Thank you for such a quick response,
I do have auto upload turned on but I do not know where I can find the files on my google account. I did not see it in my google drive or docs. Should I be looking somewhere specific?

Try and see if u can find them under piccasa and what did u update to?

Google recuva. Downloads the program and run it through your device, assuming you haven't over written any files yet. It should recover a majority of the files. I can't count how many times it had saved me. Let us know what happened. Sorry to hear.

At the moment, I'm completely distraught but I'm planning on bringing it to a computer store to see if they would be able to recover the files. Although none of the methods mentioned above worked, I just want to thank all of you who have responded. I really do appreciate your input and am happy I joined this community.
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up and say that I was able to recover the deleted files by following this guide.

I was feeling for you and trying to thing of a solution as I read through this thread, Undelete came to mind. I am glad you were able to recover the photos! Besides keeping a backup on your comp maybe put copies in Dropbox and/or Photobucket for safe keeping.
