Hello,
I have dropped my phone and the screen got broken. Since then something very strange is happening. Some of the pictures I've taken show up as broken in the gallery and other pictures show up in the gallery and I can open them with the gallery but I can't open them on other devices.
I sent the photos via bluetooth to another phone but they won't open on that device. I sent them to my email address. Same thing: could't load media or invalid photo. I also downloaded them via USB. Same thing. I can open them fine on my phone (the ones not broken). Anyone knows what could have happened?
Any help would be much appreciated.

There is a possibility that you have some hardware damage (excluding screen) but that doesn't explain why some pictures can be viewed only on the phone. I don't know how smart would be to do a factory reset (maybe your memory is corrupted? backup everything first) but if I was you, I'd send it to service.

No i have not, im unrooted so i cannot search thru files in order to delete the root directory of these,
i should make a note on this as i think the cause was a app called ANDROID DEFRAG, <--- i recommend staying away from that app.
i tried loading a few of the pics via sharing / open with messaging app and a few showed.
all the details for the pics are there except for ORIENTATION which shows ZERO .
none of these pics show in connection to pc either cannot locate the files, like to edit them to try and make them appear but at this point a way to delete the files would suffice!
While I am used to my Thunderbolt, which I just put to rest for my new SGN2, I find myself doing a bit of comparing between the two phones.
I am rooted with JellyBomb 9.0 now, but I was always able to hook my Tbolt up to my PC and view pictures from my phone files (DCIM, etc...) as PICTURES. With this new SGN2, I only get to see icons (the icon says JPG with a mini icon for Microsoft office pictures attached to the JPG icon. I actually have to click on each icon to open the picture which is awful since I take so many pictures.
I also noticed that I can't send multiple pictures as attachments anymore like I used to with my Tbolt. It says I can only send one at a time and then I must reopen the phone file and scroll through everything all over again.
I also have issues getting my pc's to recognize my phone. I keep getting hardware id missing popping up next to my pc's clock. If I go back and forth between MTP and the PTP or unplug and replug enough times, occasionally the PC will find the phone.
Am I doing something wrong??????
I'm open to any and every suggestion
Thanks

As for your first question, I can view all my pictures on internal or external storage on my PC through "My Computer" as thumb nails everytime. Maybe it's how your viewing it or the program your using to view it.
As for your second question, simply go to your gallery open the album you want to send pics from. If you want to send multiple pics in one mage from food albums then make an album with the pics you want to send in it. Or just view all pics at once, hit 'Menu' then 'select multiple' small boxes appear at the top right of each pic. Click each pic you want one by one full your done. Then while the ones you want to send are selected hit the symbol to the top right next to delete which is the Share button. Then pick your method of sharing either email or messages etc. It will automatically loaf all the pics on one message, then compile any text with it if you wish. Fill out intended recipient and send.
In short to answer the thread. .. It's you

Twisted, Perhaps it's not me. You told me about your success on question #1 but didn't bother to explain what the issue might be.
The fact that you can see your pics internally or externally is wonderful, but how is that helping my problem??
Thanx for the twisted advice
I have the same issue and find it quite annoying. I've mostly had all HTC devices before and the sd card contents show up fine along with all hidden folders etc. I don't have the same view on my GN2. All the hidden files don't show and only jpeg icons. Stock Rooted Deodexed rom.

I have had the problem viewing picture as thumbnails also. In what I have researched, it may be Windows 7 and probably Vista and how it iteracts with both my GS3 and GN2. If you google " pictures not showing up as thumbnails in Windows...." you will get a ton of results. I have tried a couple, but havent gotten too deep into it yet. Something about the way Windows caches the thumbnails and eventually the cache is full and has to be cleaned out to keep seeing thumbnails instead of file icons. That might give you something to go on... Good luck.
I don't have any advise on the picture issue. I just don't take many pictures. I just use picture preview in file explorer and scroll to confirm which I want to upload to Flickr.
As for the Missing Hardware ID, I don't have a solution, but it is a known issue by Microsoft and Samsung; they blame each other from what I read. Basically, there is a wrong driver downloaded from Microsoft for the Samsung mobile drivers. Some people have had success using the earlier drivers; you have download and disconnect your computer form the internet completely before connecting your phone to your PC after installing the earlier drivers. I've done this, but still have the issue, but I can get it to work with fewer plugging and unplugging the usb cable.
Hi! I have this problem which is bothering me for a week now. When i open gallery and try to view camera pictures it only shows me pictures i made during last week or later, the rest are black or says "loading". I have already tried changing the saving directory for pictures from external storage to internal but it makes no difference. :/ on my external sd card i also have some pictures from my previous phone. it makes no sense because the pictures were shown normally untill now. i also tryed showing them with Quickpic app but its the same. I can only view the on my computer and maybe if im lucky from preinstalled "File organiser". If anyone has any solution for this please write it.
Thanks for help, cheers
Strange issue. I just took a look at my stock gallery app and I'm not noticing it. I typically use the Google Photos app, though. Have you tried clearing the data for the stock Gallery app?

Hi guys,
one more question of me. Hope to get some help.
I´m desparate. I want to organize my data on my OP7T via PC so I connect it to it, but, if I want to open the pictures of snapchat, instagram, facebook etc, then it shows in Photos of Windows, that the file is damaged or can´t be read. But in the normal Camera folder, I can see the pictures.
SO I always have to copy it on my PC if I want to look to them. Thats pretty annoying.
Does anyone also have that kind of issue? Would be nice, if someone could test it on his own.
AND also this annoying messsage come several times, if I pull out the cable of the phone. (the pictures are attached.
