[Q] Cannot Get Rid of Two Photos From Gallery - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey guys two photos came in my gallery when i got my phone. they have the picasa icon so i'm guessing they have to do with picasa but picasa is not on my phone nor is there any picasa account syned to my phone. the gallery won't give me an option to delete them. Please help! I attached a picture of the photos below.

So you're saying you bought a used phone and nobody has factory wiped it?

Anyone know what to do?

It might be linked to your Google+. Check your album there.

Blank/empty album named after me always in Gallery

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

[REQ] Samsung Photo Editor

Samsung has a Photo Editor app on their store and also on the Play Store that is just called, "Photo Editor". I absolutely loved it when I downloaded it stock but once I upgraded to AOSP I can't get it to download any more because it says my device isn't compatible.
Might anyone have this APK?
Link to the real app is here: http://www.samsungapps.com/topApps/topAppsDetail.as?categoryId=G000014699&productId=G00006632279
UPDATE:
Found the APK thanks to the individual below.
If anyone else wants this, I have it hosted here:

How odd, sorry about that. For some reason it won't let me direct link APKs.

Use that link and just right click the link and do SAVE AS and it works.
Still unable to download it.
Could you please email it to me? I'll be glad to host it on my box account for others who may want it and may be having issues downloading it.

Thank you very much. Just what I needed.
I love this app, however after I edit the picture, it stores the picture on the phone's storage instead of the SD card. Any ideas?
I would edit those first few links lol, I clicked on the first... nothing... read next post... oh ok, clicked on next link... nothing... read next post... oh ok... success! LOL I should have read to the end of the thread first heh.

remove the details.
It isn't the right thing to do like this but in answer to your question, my solution is to go into Settings/Applications/Facebook/ then Disable App option which hides the app away from the phone, prevent it from opening and appearing in the app drawer. On the social side however, I suggest you don't do it, would you want your friend to do the same to you?
Anyways, hope it helps!

[Q] [Help] "Stock" Desire HD's media

Hi,
When I bought the Desire HD it had some "stock" photos, and music (like 5 tracks), now I made a mistake and did reformat the microSD card so all the media is gone, I'm asking where could I get this media from, is there some sort of repository, or any of you fellow DHD users happen to have it?
Thanks in advance,
tW4r
I think I still have them, and I'll see if I can get it uploaded when I get home if someone haven't already uploaded it.

Help: Photos/Video of my late mother deleted after system update

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.
