[Q] Picture order in Gallery app - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I found strange that pictures in Gallery app are not displaying in desired order. I mean if in settings are checked "Sort by latest". then in preview pictures are not ordered in such way.
Do others have the same issue?
Of course, it is not a mission critical bug , but very annoying.

Are you using stock rom or custom rom?
I always noticed that it uses the latest image from within the folder to sort the gallery. In stock rom the camera album always shows first.

[Q] Any way to sort gallery fotos?

As per title, can i choose the sort method for the thumbnails in the stock gallery (image viewer)??
The way it is now, it puts the latest fotos at the bottom of the pile, so if you have a few you have to scroll a lot to get to the latest ones...
+1 on this, if this could be done on either the stock or 3d gallery

[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

[Q] Disable gallery auto-highlighting

the latest version of gallery app is marking random images as highlighted and it does this automatically, then creating a "highlight" folder and showing it with other folders. i know i can hide that folder in options, but is there a way to stop the gallery from auto-highlighting my images??
thanx
I quite like the high light idea, but am getting the randomly highlighted pics issue (is it an issue or feature?!) too.. Would like to know how to disable it too?

Camera and Photos

Whenever I take a new picture with the Camera, it shows on the bottom right hand corner immediately. However, when I then click on the photo, it brings me to the photo app and the new picture does not show. If I switch in photos to device folders, the new pictures show. I've tried setting the camera to store the pictures on both internal and external storage with no luck. If immediately after I take the picture, I open up QuickPic the new picture is there. I am running the latest viper rom, with latest firmware etc.
Anyone else experience this or have some thoughts?

yes and i believe the camera app is going to need an update to fix this. It has something to do with a recent update to google photos.

Camera/Gallery

I uninstalled the default gallery app and use Simple Gallery. Is there a way to tie the OOS camera to it? When I take a picture the small thumbnail shows up in the circle at lower right, but touching it does nothing, "no photo" pop-up. I have my gallery app set as default on settings.
Not sure if it will help but try installing another gallery app and see what pops up (if anything) when you touch the thumbnail from the camera app.
I have installed a QuickPic gallery (the best gallery app in my opinion) as well as the Open Camera app (used it before on my Samsung Note3 running Resurrection Remix so it kind of installed itself when I connected my google account).
Anyways, not I have a stock camera app opening stock gallery app (when touching the thumbnail) and I have Open Camera app opening the QuickPic, even though the stock gallery is set as default.
I'm thinking the issue may be you uninstalled the stock gallery before changing the defaults and now your camera is still looking for that stock app? It seems some apps can override the system defaults (as is in my case 2 different camera apps opening different gallery apps), and installing another gallery app may bring up the menu where you could choose your default gellery to open from camera app.
Bravo! I dirty flashed the ROM and it works again. Switched default to Simple Gallery, works. Froze OOS gallery, still works! Just need to change it before getting rid of it.
There is a default app in the settings somewhere.

Yeah, settings/apps/default. Just saying you need to set you default app, before uninstalling the system one or it won't switch.
