Gallery App

How come when I wipe and flash the Samsung gallery app doesn't show old screenshots or other folders with pictures in them even though I can still see them in the files app?

Open gallery, press menu, view by and select the one you want.

Did that. But every time I go back into gallery it defaults to showing them again.

If you log in on your computer you can see all your g+ albums and photos from posts. You can manually delete them there. That's the only solution I can find

Disable picasa and google photos under google sync. Then clear data for the gallery app.

Can't find the picasa and google photos under sync..

Settings -> Accounts -> Google -> *****@gmail.com -> Uncheck what you do not wish to sync.

That doesn't get rid of the ones in your gallery
Edit: un checking sync and clearing gallery data worked. Thank you.

Anyway to get rid of facebook from gallery? I unchecked "sync gallery" under accounts and cleared gallery data but facebook keeps loading in gallery. Any ideas?

App manager then gallery then clear data removes picasa and Google pictures. Make sure you un click photos in Google sync

What will happen is I delete the "temp" album in gallery?

How do I get rid of these random images?

They show up in my gallery repeatedly. They look like malware pictures. I removed all of them once and they came back. So I looked at the details and found the file location. Removed the files. A day later they're back once again.

Some app is putting them there. I know that the Geico app puts silly pics on your phone.

Why is this an acceptable practice? It's like those airpush ads.

I deleted the whole appcache file and it still came back.

Torrents, stop using them on your phone lol.

Do you have any sideload games folders on your memory card? If you do, Gallery will create thumbnail images from those folders. The only way to tell the gallery not to read those folder is you must have .nomedia file in those folders. Good luck.

This might be the closest assumption to whats causing the problem. But its so convient to download torrents straight to my phone lol.

Did you try clearing defaults of any gallery/image apps?

See attached. Clear cache and data, too.

I did not touch that! Should I do something there? If yes, what?
I cant even send a picture per email attachments or mms.
Thank you for your help

Click through the menus to the gallery app and clear defaults, cache, and data. Actually, before you clear the data, let's look for your photos.

Are you rooted? Are the photos on an external sd card?

Thank you so much for your help!

The problem is back! Do I have to do this every time before I want to attach a picture?

Normally gallery doesn't show your external sd card photos. Try to use quickpic from the play store that should work to attach your pictures.

Photos you don't want in gallery

Anyone know how to have pics saved on your phone that won't show up in gallery? I created a new folder and put some pics in there and then the new folder shows up in my gallery and if u delete from gallery it deletes the pics or folder from the phone which is not what I want.

Put a .nomedia file in the folder you don't want gallery to scan.

Or a . in front of the folder name like this: .folder

It's stille there but some apps are unable to see it. I use root browser and that's able tot view it. In mxplayer there is a setting to display hidden folders (with a .) so maybe there is also in the app you're using.
