So, i would like to ask with new phone startup, we have to select a host of google services.
PLease inform how to enable/disable the following two services within phone if i change my mind later.
On the side note: Backup to google drive = isnt it same service as syncing ? (tht we do of phone numbers, email, calender)

First location services.
Device /Settings /Location/
At top Either select" Improve accuracy" and you can switch it off.
I keep my selection off as i found /discovered in the
BetterbatteryStats app that i use to monitor battery drain, deep sleep etc etc,
wifi is kept always on in background
(It does not sleep when your phone screen is off.)
The other is still in Location section... just above it (Improve accuracy) .
"Apps premission"
tap and then select relevant app tap that app and when options appears select Either
"... allow alll the time / Allow only while using the app/ Deny.."
Secondly the G backup i always use.
It also backups , Wifi pswds. Play store apps etc.
Device /Settings /Google /Backups
Switch on or off.
I use G backup to G drive combined with Samsung's backup.
G backup for Play store etc
and select Samsung Backup only to do the Samsung apps etc.
Wanted to post screen shots but currently not on my Note 10+
Good luck.

Thank you for to the point solution. :good:
Now, i have two questions:
Are you sure the question related to first image is this options only inside phone, coz, it doesnt explicitly refer to the 2 options mentioned in the screenshot.
Lastly, On the apps where selected gps “Allow all the time”, the apps still requesting access to GPS signal when fired on and does not automatically turn on the GPS by default . (Ex: Uber) ?

Ok, im back on my Note 10+ ,
Your first screen shot Location,
has 2 x options (according to me and that's the reason why I said 2 x options.)
You again, see it as only one option.
Sorry, if i confused you.
Anyway i will refer to your first screenshot
"Use Location" and " Allow scanning"
that you can either enable or disable.
That why i referred to as 2 options.
Now look at my screenshot below, the screenshot that's marked 1 and 2 on it.
Your Screenshot ask for permission "Use Location"
see my screenshot " App permission." which I marked 1.
There you can change every apps permissions
Inside that subsection tap on app and you will get
options to Allow all the time, /only while using the app.
or see my screenshot.
Still with your first screenshot, (which i call second option in my previous post )
marked "Allow scanning"
Again check my relevant screenshot.
This basic means that even if you have switched off your wifi/Bluetooth, it's still running in background.
So your device is not completely in a Deep Sleep state..!
This fact i found out when i checked my Betterbatterystats results.
That why i said i recommend to switch it off.. think if it's always on in background... extra battery drain.
Most probably not a lot, battery drain ( you can decide.)
example.......
So if your device was in deep sleep for 4 hours, then your wifi / bluetooth, would have been running in background for 4 hours.
Hope i explained it better this time.?
Good luck.

Yup it seems to be all okay
Just finished complete setup of my new phone, but ran into a new problem -- All my music albums are appearing in the gallery and i have hundreds of music albums !! (Didnt happen in my old samsung phone which was very latest too - A70)

From what i understand your music albums. (no music tracks as such) are showing up with you pictures/videos, in the Gallery pictures app )
For me this should be normal, under certain conditions.
example.
If i check my Gallery ( picture) app,
bottom there's a section..........
listed "Pictures.... Albums......Stories.. Shared"
If i select Pictures section i only get "Pictures and videos mixed"
Under Album section... (bottom of Gallery app)
Some of my music albums shows up here, but if you select that particular music album, it only shows you the Albums art / picture, no music tracks. !
Similar with video album shown.
If you tap that particular video album only the album art of that particular video is shown
See screenshot of what i mean.
This, as far as i am concerned "this " is quite correct.
Good luck

Yes, i always view in "My Gallery" - "Albums" .
The music artwork folders are appearing in gallery and yes they are images only , but it completely messed up my gallery view as i have hundreds of music albums.
If i just go to pictures, i cant navigate properly as i have thousands of pictures in different folders !!
PS: This never happened in any of other Samsung phones til date

I checked my music files on my sd card.
I have quite a few Albums in my music folders.
However , in my case i hardly have any album art that shows
Only maybe one or two.?
I must add i think my circumstances is different.?
When i purchase an music "Album" eg Google Play music,
I download it to my laptop and then just copy duplicate folder, over to my sd music folder.
I see all those folders, there's no albums art showing/visible, in relevant music folder (if you access it with a file explorer app.).......
However,
the one or two album art thumbnails, that i custom placed thumbnail in that album, does show up in Gallery app.
Yet,
when I go to my music player eg Poweramp, my album art thumbnails does show. and the album art also shows when playing the relevant music album.
Bottom line
As a test.... i deleted the album art thumbnail, showing/visible, in music album folder with a file explorer.
Checked my Gallery app... it gone no more showing...!
Maybe do a test and see results.?
Good luck.

Yes ,
that's why your custom art thumbnails are showing up in Gallery app !
I found that , if the music art thumbnails , were embedded,
as it's the case with most of my music albums songs, it does not show !!
Thinking about this now (to me ) it's logical that if you place a photo/custom art thumbnail in folder,
your Gallery app should "see/find " it ?
In the past i used to place a ".nomedia " file ( in a relevant folder) for it to be excluded .
The Samsung Gallery app ( as far as i am aware ) does not have a option to exclude/hide a "certain " folder , as eg. my other gallery app Piktures i use ( mentioned below )
Further , combinded to the Gallery app ,
I also use " Piktures " gallery app
(free Version Play store ) ,which has the option to edit and hide albums .
good luck .

HTC's Photos app doesn't show the photos on my SD card and neither does Gallery (the cooliris Nexus One app ported to Incredible). How do I get photos to show up? Arr, it's driving me nuts!

I fixed this using the free "Gallery Enabler" app from the Market. I definitely recommend it!

I tried that app and thought it was great too, until I couldn't find any of my music playlists.
I think it hides folders from other applications besides Photos.
If you have problems, open gallery enabler and check all folders before you un-install it.
Then the right way to fix it is to open the Photos app on the phone, clck on the menu button and select "Settings" and then "Default Albums" then select the options you want from there.
If you're wondering how this application works, it probably just deletes/adds the hidden .nomedia files from folders. Those files restrict applications from having access to the media by signaling the android media scanner to ignore them. For instance, if you put one in the root of your sd card, the system would ignore any media on your entire card.
In theory, it's a great idea.
The problem is that all of my music is organized in folders and each folder contains the album art for the album.
So blocking the folder with the album art so that it does not show up in the gallery also blocks the music file from different media applications.

Ah, you're definitely right. All my music stopped showing up. However, once I went back and enabled all the folders and applied settings in Gallery Enabler all my music showed up again and the photos were still fixed. I suppose you could use Gallery Enabler once to "force" Gallery and Photos to see all the folders.
Changing default albums in HTC's Photos app did nothing to make media show up again. Thanks for the suggestion though!

yes man we know. but its not inside the app.
yeah settings should be in the app itself.
option missing to unlock screen with any button.
file manager shows either phone memory or card, not both.
gallery sucks
cant find image editor, but it was promoted in early bada 2 videos, so it should come.
voice input opens randomly...
new camera sucks too, for example there is only option: preview on and off, but not the 2secs option anymore. i liked the old camera.
in file manager long press on files doesnt work...
in music player i liked old cover flow. and theres an option to view current playlist, but you cant delete/move tracks there. and maybe when viewing single tracks in music player, at least i dont need the cover art at every track. its just slowing down.

Whenever I open the gallery, all of the artwork from my mp3s is mixed in with the my pictures. This makes it next to impossible to find something quickly. Is there an easy way to organize them out or hide them without clicking each individual picture? This seems very dumb. My iphone, nor any other phone I've ever used does this. Thoughts?
In your music folder, put an empty text file with the filename 'nomedia' (without the quotation marks and file extention). Then in settings > apps > gallery , select clear data.

Sorry for being dense, but the hierarchical structure you listed doesn't work.
Did you mean setting>general(tab)>apps?....if so "gallery" isn't listed there. If I go into gallery and try to move the photos, it just randomly moves them around.....no labels or anything. I don't understand. Do I need to go into my windows explorer on my pc to adjust the folders?....that seems dumb that you can't easily do it from the phone.

It normally has to be done on the computer I believe but it might not let the android media scanner find your music or use the pictures for album artwork. I honestly I just use QuickPic and it has the options to hide(.no media) and exclude folders and I just select exclude folders from my main music folder so it doesn't include them.

Hi!
Yes i meant setting>general(tab)>apps. Under apps if you scroll horizontally u will find gallery under 'ALL' tab.
In order to move files, folders or any other operation to a file or folder, you need to use a file manager app. There are different file managers available for android. Personally i use ES file manager. A pretty good app called just File Manager is already there in G Pro. You can use it to manage your folders.
As jesi.james above pointed out putting the .nomedia (sorry i missed the '.' before nomedia in my previous post) file in your music folder will hide the album arts from the gallery but it will hide the music files from the music player as well. I am sorry i wasnt aware of that. i do not store my music on my phone. I listen to it from play music.
To solve your problem, i found that there is an option in the gallery menu to hide/show albums. You can choose the albumd you do not want to see in your gallery. If you have a large music collection, you will have to select the albums one by one. Frustrating.
Next option is to use Quickpic. This is a very good alternative to the default gallery and it gives you options to select folders you want show or hide in quickpic as mentioned by the guy above.

5 BEST ANDROID APPS TO HIDE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS
1. Hide Pictures Keep Safe Vault - is one of the best apps to lock away your personal pictures and videos with ease. The app makes it effortless to simply store away your videos and photos in a safe vault. The separate gallery is kept hidden from the regular ones. I have used the basic version of the app for a while and it worked perfectly.
2. Gallery Lock (Hide pictures) - is one of the most popular apps around for Android. Almost every friend of mine recommends this free app for daily usage. I was pleasantly suspired to see the robust feature list of this app. Gallery Lock comes with almost every feature you would want from an app that hides photos and videos for you.
3. Hide Something - Photo, Video - With Hide-Something, your public gallery remains available to your friends, family, and coworkers. And your hidden images are only for who can unlock. With Hide-Something, you can customize your gallery when you want to show different photos to different people. With Hide-Something, you can share your photos and videos easily, even hand over your cell phone to others and no worry about your privacy.
4. Gallery Vault - Hide Video&Photo - comes with a simple and understandable interface and a good design. You simply need to move the images to the GalleryVault and they will be kept safe behind a lock code. The app also has the option of making the launch icon hidden; virtually making it completely concealed from your device.
5. Hide Pictures & Videos - FotoX - allows you to store your private pictures and photos in a secret gallery. If you want, you can take a picture directly from the app itself and it will be stored instantly. It is a great way to avoid the extra work of manually selecting pictures and hiding them in a secret vault.
Can someone tell me if their Verizon M9 has the "One Gallery" option? Also, are you able to view the music lyrics with the stock music app. Both are features of the phone but I don't show them on mine.
The One Gallery is selectable by opening the gallery app then hitting the 3 lines (menu) in upper left corner then selecting general settings. It should show One Gallery & event locations options. I don't have the One Gallery option. For the stock music app, i am able to download the lyrics to the songs but there is no option to see them or a tab for the lyrics to show.
I have reached out to HTC & Verizon with no solid answer back yet.
Thanks in advance

Vzw hasn't enabled the music option at all in the past. You either have to change default.XML to enable it or use sense six toolbox to enable it....neither of which will happen until we we s-off.
Once that happens the music option will be easier.
I know it isn't a stock option, but I have used an app called musixmatch music& lyrics with some success for integrated lyrics. It even works in an overlay format on the normal screen and floats like a FB messenger type deal. It works with google music and other players. It's a good alternative.
Ohh well, verizon isnt supporting the one gallery option at this time...
Thanks to Verizon & their customer service, got my HTC "One Gallery" option on my phone..
I can add my Flickr, facebook & google+ photo accounts to my phones stock gallery & they see constantly updated automatically.
How did you enable One Gallery on the Verizon m9?

Nevermind, I figured it out.
Install the 'One Gallery' app by 'HTC Research' [play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aiqidii.mercury] and then the option appears in the menu. It would be nice if the documentation mentioned somewhere that another app was necessary to enable that feature within the Gallery.
