[Q] Problems with gallery

Hello,
Some times, every photo and video material disappearing from my phone. Gallery shows nothing. But all photoes and videos are still on SD card. The main point, that I can't reach them. Some widgets, like gallery widget, can show me the pictures, but when I pres on the photo to zoom it - black screen appears and that is it. How can I solve this problem?

see if there is a nomedia file in your photos folder if there one then delete it and your photos will appear again
if it doesn't work then try another app to see the pictures just to know if the problem from the stock gallery app

I got the same problem with my xperia arc and xperia arc s. Unfortunately there is no one talking about this problem. I tried bunch of things including clearing out gallery cache n stuff but all in vain, until i found this

hope that'll help your problem

sorry for my bad english:cyclops:

You need to put a file named .nomedia in the folders you don't want Gallery to index!
Download it from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?xqjjytzzznz
Copy it to your phone and please note that it's a hidden file (because the name starts with a period) so use a file manager in "show hidden files" mode!
Then just copy that file into all the folders you want excluded from the gallery.
Then reboot.

Make empty text file and give it a name .nomedia , copy that file i folder wich you want to hide from gallery app

Thanks, it was really annoying having all music images showing in my gallery.

Hi,
You should call the image of the album (or the artist) "folder.jpg" and put it in the directory where the songs are (hope I express myself right...). That way none will show up in the gallery but any media reader will use it when you play the track.

[Q] Camera save location

Hi,
It seems like the stock camera app is saving pics taken "normally" and videos in the one folder while shots taken in burst mode (even if only 1 shot was fired) and timeshift burst photos are put in separate folders. This means that a single burst, even if there's only a single file, is in it's own folder.
This makes any gallery app a mess because it honours the folder structure first and then the user defined sort order second.
I would like a way to force the app to consolidate all my files in a single folder or find a way to force a gallery app to display them all as a single folder. The Google+ Photos app will do this but it doesn't let me choose which folders to include or ignore so it pulls all non-photos as long as there are images. I really like Quickpic but it doesn't do what I need at the moment.
Can somebody please tell me if what I've requested is possible? I am open to using alternative gallery apps.
Cheers!

Blurred photos in Album

I've noticed that some old photos appear first in the album randomly even if I delete them. And also some photos are blurred. I'm using the Album app that was preinstalled when I bought the phone. Someone with the same problem and know how to fix this?

Had it before. If they are blurred duplicates of the photos you already have, chances are its the thumbnails. Just locate the Thumbnail Folder ( varies for devices ) and create a ".nomedia" file in there to exclude that portion from being scanned.
After which be sure to Clear your Album App Data in settings A quick restart after that should do the trick.
