Gallery Layout in ICS - What Am I Missing?

Is there any rhyme or reason to how the folders in the Gallery app are ordered in ICS? I swear, they just appear to be in a COMPLETELY RANDOM order, and it is maddening. It's not alphabetical, it's not by date - what is going on? Has anyone figured out a way to bring some order to this mess? It's extremely frustrating.

I honestly just noticed that this morning while looking for a pic I just snapped. There isn't anything in settings I can see to change it either. Anyone?

Strange, since I saw this thread I went a looked too, I have the same issue. Very strange.

mine is sorted by album. You can change how its sorted by clicking the top left sort option.

The problem I'm referring to is that when it is sorted by album, the albums themselves are not actually sorted (e.g., they're not listed alphabetically). When you have a large number of albums, this makes it very difficult to find the one you're looking for. I didn't have this problem in the stock gallery app in Gingerbread or in Honeycomb.

Only workaround is to use 3rd party app, QuickPic. Works wonders for me. I just can't use the stock gallery.

[Q] Two questions so far about the Nexus/ICS

Hi everyone,
So I'm relatively new to Android, the Galaxy Nexus is my first non-iPhone, so I'm still getting adjusted. I had two questions so far about the Nexus/Android 4.0:
When I receive picture messages from iPhone users that have multiple pictures in one message, they come through as a video/slideshow with smaller versions of the pictures that I can't save. The same thing happens when they include text with their picture. However, if they just send a picture, it comes through normal size, and as a picture. Is this an Android OS issue, or is it on Apple's end?
I'm using Hullomail for Voicemail, and I have no complaints, but I was curious if anyone has successfully ported the official AT&T apk. I know Google Voice is what most people use, but unfortunately that's not an option for me.
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure about the first question, but why can't you use Google voice? Works great for me!

My phone is already registered to a different Google Voice number.

The slideshow thing used to happen on my HTC phones, but I'm not sure what types of phones were sending the pictures so I am going to assume it is android-based. That said I haven't tested it yet on the nexus so I could be wrong.

GVoice is awesome!

It will let you register it twice if you set one as mobile and one as a home line

I would get that on my Charge. I thought it was a Touch Wiz feature. I didn't care for that myself.

[Q] Taking screenshot of a specific area?

Hi all, I'm wondering if it's possible to take a screenshot of a specific area on the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. Like say I open a Kindle book and want to capture a specific image or diagram and paste that quickly into OneNote. What I usually do is take screenshots of the entire screen and crop those images in the photo editor, but it's a little tedious if I have lots of screen captures... I played around with the Microsoft Surface tablet in a store today and got a little spoiled with the stylus and ability to import screen captures of specific areas so effortlessly into OneNote lol.

I don't believe there's an app that will do that, yet anyway. Would be a nice feature though.
But keep looking and post back, as I'm sure there's many that would like to use such an app.
We are just stuck with cropping for the moment

Thanks for the reply. ^^ There is a similar app called "Dolphin Screen Cut," but that's limited to the web browser... If I find anything else, I'll post here (and hope that others will do the same!).

Sounds good

Honor 8 pro stuttering and lag

There's a lot of micro stutter while using chrome, firefox and even many pdf readers.
Stuttering is also present while gaming. Yesterday, I tried playing temple run 2 on my honor 8 pro and it lagged like hell (yes, I'm talking about temple run 2). Even Vector 2 stuttered a lot.
For comparison, I ran the same apps on some other devices I had (redmi note 4, leeco 2) and found no stuttering or lag.
I got the phone just 2 days back and am thinking of getting it replaced or returned
I'm wondering if you guys are facing the same issue.

Do a reset and see if u still face this issue.

Already did a reset, did nothing to improve the performance.

Time to return the phone and exchange it for a new one.

Micro stutters happen. Yes, I find them in all the games. It seems like optimisation problem.
Edit - Just sent them a mail ragriding this.

Thanks for doing that!
Also, do you expect stutters while browsing on chrome?
Cause in my case it stutters a lot

Chrome has a habit of stuttering. It's a browser issue I guess. Have you tried any other browser?
Edit - Welcome and you too should mail them.

I did try other browsers (Samsung's browser, firefox, firefox focus), all with the same stuttering. I then used those apps on other devices and found no stuttering.
I've already sent a request for replacement, if the new device still has the stuttering, I'll mail them.
(We'll also have some solid evidence for the issue being replicated on multiple devices)

If many people sent an email regarding this issue, I guess honor will do something about it

I got no stutter or lag using Firefox or playing games.

On my Honor I've never noticed stutters aside from one or other from time to time, but that's basically Android. My S8 is way worse in that matter.

how did they solve this problem?

I don't know, I ended up returning the phone because of the many software issues I was facing with the device.

Yes too much software issues. Facebook lag . Camera lightning problem and many more things not satisfied after 1 month usage

That Facebook lag is because of the buggy Facebook app.
Other software issues can be there though.

Scrolling screenshot

Hello, is there a way to capture the full page etc, when taking a screenshot? Tried some apps and they are abysmal at best.

Would like to know too, one of the features I am missing from Oneplus

Other than using app no option

Have you tried Screenshot Crop & Share: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flextrick.universalcropper
It says it will take scrolling screenshots and more.

Thank you for your help I'll give it a go?
just tried it, and I'm sorry but it's overly complicated for such a simple process. Samsung, htc have this nailed, again thank you

Yeah it's very annoying that an expensive phone like this doesn't have this feature

I wonder if someone could take pity on us and provide a "Tasker" solution to this malady on this mobile ?

Bump

Is already there any solution? Im switching to a 2 xl from an regular s8 and im thinking to go back to a regular s9 because the size and this kind of features

Yeah, one thing I really miss from my Galaxy phones is their screenshot tool. The ability to crop and share in-place, and the scrolling screenshot, is just so helpful. All the third party ones just don't do as good of a job.
I hear that the Markup app in Android P will give us the ability to do in-place editing of screenshots, so that's nice. Maybe they'll add scrolling screenshots, too.

Has this question been answered?
I'm looking for a way to take longer screenshots, Coming from S9+ I miss this option the most!

Just searched "scrolling screenshot" on the Google Play Store.
