WHAT IS THE EASIEST WAY OF MOVING PICS FROM GALLERY, WHERE PICS TAKEN GO TO, TO MY PC.
THE ONLY WAY I CAN FIGURE IS TO MAIL THEM TO MY EMAIL.
I WOULD LIKE TO TO ABLE TO TAKE THEM OFF THE PHONE ONCE IT'S USB CONNECTED BUT I CANNOT FIND WHERE GALLERY IS BY OPENING UP THE PHONE OR SD CARD.
You should be able to find where a pic is by doing this in your Gallery (this is what I did on ICS): find the pic, open it, press MENU, click More, click Details and scroll to the bottom until you see an item "file location" (ignore the "/mnt/sdcard", you can't see them on your PC). Connect to PC and copy the pic out from the respective location.
And yeah, STOP USING CAPITAL LETTERS WHERE IT'S NOT NEEDED AT ALL

If you use dropbox, enable the camera upload feature and then install dropbox on your computer. Now whenever you take photos or videos, they will automatically be uploaded to dropbox and then downloaded on your PC making this a 0-click transfer process. If you reach the 3 GB limit, simply move photos out of the folder on your PC and you can upload another 3 GB.

Hey
I was trying to find a way to store some photos on skydrive that i didant want showing up on my phone (photos of my gf ) I could not seem to find an option within WP7 or on the skydrive site regarding permissions but i came up with a little trick. If you create a new folder on skydrive and place a picture in it, it automatically becomes a picture folder and is synced with WP7 with is rather annoying.
To get around this place the picture in the folder and then create a random word document in the same folder, click on the folder then click on information on the right hand drive of skydrive and change it to documents. Your folder will no longer appear in the pictures hub and you can still access from Office skydrive hub which will simply link you to the skydrive webpage. Hope some of you find this helpful.
Where is the link to the SkyDrive folder ?
Skydrive is not convenient at all.
When will there be a Skydrive app on WP7 ??? I wonder.
For the moment I'm staying with Dropbox + Kickbox
Anyway, thanks for this tip
SkyDrive is handled on WP7 via the Office Hub. Open that, and go to "Locations" and SkyDrive should be there (if you set up a Live account, of course). If not, you may need to add the URL to it. But it'll work. You can also pin it to your Start if you wish, for quicker access.

Aren't all pictures and documents you upload from your phone publicly viewable by default? Or does adding a document somehow make it available to you only?
Seems there's no way to change permissions via the WP7 Office hub.
I think wp7 ask u about your privacy choice when uploading to skydrive, can choose between anyone and only you...can also give permission to one contact especially...that's realy confortable.

This isn't a direct method but better than having nothing. Also some of you might already be aware of something like this or an alternative but I didnt come across it so I'm posting it here.
1) First of all go to phone settings in the zune app and in 'Pictures and Videos' choose 'leave pictures and videos on phone after copying' and in image quality choose 'original'. You should also switch to 'manual' in 'sync options' for Pictures and Videos, so that files are not deleted from phone if you delete them from PC.
2) Once you've done this, your original photos will be sync'd to your computer in 'My Pictures/YourWPdevice' every time you connect your phone to pc and open zune.
3) Now you should have the skydrive/dropbox app installed on your pc (which I assume all of you already do). I think Skydrive automatically keeps your photos sync'd in the cloud so you shouldn't need to anything any more. However if skydrive isn't doing that, you can just copy your 'my photos' folder and place it in the skydrive folder.
4 (Optional but handy) If you don't like wasting space then you could create a junction link of 'My photos' folder in skydrive folder. That should save you a lot of space on your pc if you have lots of photos. To create a junction link, I recommend using Hard Link shell extension. It's fairly easy to use and comes in handy if you are using skydrive and don't want to copy/paste all folders you want to backup or you want to keep your existing folder structure.
Anyway, if you complete first three steps I have outlined, every time you connect your windows phone to pc and open zune (which I think all of us already do on daily basis), your photos will be automatically sync'd to the cloud. You will need to have Dropbox/skydrive running of course.
After having a GS3 I went and tried a Lumia 920 with windows 8, although I liked the operating system and phone, after going through 4 of them since launch due to hardware failures I said no more and decided to trade up to a note2. One thing the Windows phone did I really liked was it had like a picture viewer that went through a folder on your skydrive account (like dropbox, but Microsoft branded) and would cycle through photo's in there. Is there a gadget similar for android that will look through a folder on my dropbox? I've found quite a few, but they all require you to individually select photo's which is annoying, or have the pictures all on a local folder to scan thgouh. Its much nicer to just throw the photo's you want in a folder on the dropbox and let it pick them up.
Any ideas?
Just download skydrive and your photos should show up if you link the folder to your SD card.

I went ahead and switched back to dropbox since the skydrive has funny file name restrictions (no - or /)
So I can link my dropbox to a local folder on the SD card? I was unaware of that, i'll give it a try.
When I plug any of my phones into my computer and navigate to the folder with all the pictures in it, I can see ALL the pictures as the pictures that they are, however, when I plug my Note 2 into the computer and navigate to the folder with the pictures. ALL the pictures are of the same icon on the attachment seen here.
How do I fix this?
I don't want to use Keis......

I'll try this...but I think that will do it individually....not sure..Thanks!
Yeah, this opens up the windows viewer window and I can't adjust or rotate ect, the pictures here. I have to copy and paste them onto computer and do it that way...I used to be able to just see them when I plug the phone in and it is seen as another device..I'm finding out that this is a Jelly-Bean flaw now...
Hey guys. I need a little help. I lost a picture on my phone as it got corupt. I did use the picture as a background on the messages app and it still shows when I text. Does anybody know where this picture is stored so as I can get it and save it. I would love to get it for my new S5 before I do a restore on my S3. Is there any program that would scan my S3 for pictures.
Thanks .

If it isn't showing up in the gallery, you'll need to know the name of it to find it. I would start with going to the My Files app and manually looking through the camera and downloads folders. The location will depend on how you put the picture on the phone originally. Did you take the picture with the camera on the phone? Did you download it from a website? Did it come from an app? Need to know that first.

Hey Thanks for the reply jack man.
I don't know the name of the picture. When you add the picture as a background in messages you have to crop it and then it saves it and it shows up in the picture selection for back grounds in messages. Its that location that i am looking for.
On a good note i did use titanium backup and did a restore data for messages and got the picture back as a back ground option. So i can use it again. But i would still like to know where that picture is stored on the phone.
Thanks for your help.

That still doesn't say how the picture got on the phone in the first place. When you go to the setting to change the background in messaging, it either let's you take a picture or view the gallery to select a picture. Is this one you downloaded? or took with you camera? If it gave you the option to crop it, it was probably in your gallery.
Try opening the My Files app. then click All Files. Then Device Storage. It may be in one of these folders - DCIM (if you took the picture with your camera), Download (if you downloaded it from the web or email), or Pictures (if you moved it directly to your phone from a computer).
It could also be on your external SD card if you have one installed. To check it, just back up to where you chose Device storage, then just choose SD memory card and look in the files there. If it's not in any of these locations, I have no idea. Good luck!
Also, if you downloaded the picture from an app (like Zedge), it may be in another folder that the app itself created for storage.

Yes it used to be in my gallery but it got corrupt and i cant view it any more. It shows up as a blank JPEG now and yes It was taken with the phone. However the picture can still be seen in messages. I would like to recover that picture in messages as it is the only picture remaining.

I've had that happen before. I think I fixed it by connecting to a computer and copy in it over then renaming it. Not sure if that was how... it's been a while. But it was something with renaming the file.
Hope it helps.
Open dcim and check the .thumbnail folder. Might still be in there.
