Android Gallery Problem - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I took a picture a few days ago and don't need it anymore. I fire up the gallery on my Nexus, hold on the pic and delete. Done deal. Except I wait a few minutes, open the gallery and there is the same picture I just deleted. My Nexus is stock.
Suggestions?

That's weird that it's doing that. You could always go into the folder on your SD card and delete it that way (should be under DCIM, you could use a file explorer like Astro or just mount your SD card). But that could become annoying for all pictures you need to delete.

Quote using the stock gallery and install quickpic. Best move I ever made for photos.

Playing with quickpic now. Thanks.
Still, not to be an ornery cuss? I really shouldn't have a problem like this. Clean it up Google. A minor annoyance, at best, but its the small stuff that makes people fall in love with your platform.

Maybe this special luck picture
just go to settings, application, manage application, find there gallery, clean data...

Quickpic is the best viewer in android fast and stable !
Sent from my Nexus S

Think the first problem is you've not rooted, second would be stock gallery. Like everyone else has mentioned Quikpix is miles better at actually functioning as a viewer.
The stock ROM is functional the CM7 ROM is much better even though it's only in Release Candidate at the moment. Once the full version is released they should add extra features like CM6 on my old Desire. (tip: I've learnt from reading these forums on a daily basis that its not a good idea to ask when it will be fully released which is fair enough as they do it all pro bono)
Note if you do flash a ROM
Can be quite tricky unlocking bootloader as you have to make changes to you Windows or which ever OS you run on your comp. Well worth it though and my phone works a hell of a lot better now.

Photo browsing app??

My hubby rooted my phone a couple months ago.
I actually liked the sense photo gallery.
The stock android gallery is not working well for me... And JustPictures crashes everyone I try to view my pictures.
And viewing pics on my phone is important since I am a photographer...
Does anyone have a stable photo browsing app?

I'd say just install a Sense-based ROM. I recommend Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo for Incredible.
Use Titanium Backup free and Mybackup root to back up your contacts/apps, then flash it/have your husband flash it.
i found a good .apk, but do not remember were i found it. i will post it as soon as i can

someone pointed it out in a Rom thread and it's very simple and VERY fast.

Stock android Dialer and Contacts app?

I just got the sensation today. (I'm coming from nexus one running cyanogenmod). There's really only a few things about sense 3.0 that I like. The camera app, the lockscreen, some of the widgets, and the quick notification widgets (although I like cm7's implimentation MUCH better). Anyways I'm hoping that once the bootloader gets unlocked we'll be able to get cyanogenmod on it, but until then is it possible to get a few stock apps on the sensation?
The only things from sense I'd maybe like to keep in a more "stock rom" would be the camera app and the lockscreen. Everything else I don't really care for. =\
I want the these apps.
* Dailer
* Contacts
* Gallery
U don't like the smart dialer? It's leagues better than the stock dialer...

I made the same transition as you. At first I hated the dialer and contacts, but they've grown on me.
However that gallery does suck total nuts. You can go in the market and download gallery 3d which is (as far as i can tell) the standard gallery you're used to. I'm using it and it feels right at home.
I absolutely can't wait until we can have CM7.1 on this thing.
Also.. is it just me... or are you totally missing the trackball? I keep trying to adjust the cursor with it when editing text just to get disappointed that it's not there...

No...I hate it. I've accidentally called the wrong person already because it doesn't ask if I want to call. Also it isn't showing contacts pictures when calling? Wtf? It just looks ugly to me compared to the stock android dialer. The contacts app is worse. AOSP contact app is so much simpler looking and just all around better.

I hate the gallery app, it sucks so much. Also i've taken a few pics that auto upload to google+ and it shows the date it was taken as jan 1st 1970. WHatttt?
I've only had it for 8 hours so far, and i've already done that at least a dozen times. I used the trackball just for going back a little to make corrections. Going to take a bit to get use to, but in time I will.
I can't wait for CM7.1 on the sensation. Sense to me is just ugly. I like gingerbread's status bar, and the notification widgets in cyanogenmod so much better than sense...It's ugly. Also I don't see the point of putting the recent apps in the pull down bar....
Good thing for launcherpro plus
I am also hunting for the AOSP style dialer...initially when the MT4G came out and was rooted you could just push the contacts/dialer apk to system/app and change the permissions and it would work. I have had no such luck with the Perma-Temp root on the Sensation...

I'm in the same boat here and can't stand the dialer or gallery. Thanks for the tip on Gallery 3d Picked this phone up because it looks and feels just like a larger faster version of the N1 and I figure it will be rooted sooner or later.

I guess it just comes down to what you're use to. I'm use to the 3d gallery because I've had the n1 since launch. I'm trying out quick pic though. Anything is better than the gallery app on the sensation. Sense really has left me a bit underwhelmed. The only things i'd want to keep from sense is the lockscreen and the camera app.

your right. I had n1 at launch too. I wanted to like the gallery cause it looked cool, but didn't function that well. Plenty times I has to reboot just for a pic I just took to show. I found Quick pic and been using it since
Lol @ that 3D gallery. I hated it on my MT4G and this gallery is cool IMO. Didn't like Touch Wiz on the Vibrant or Sense on the MT4G........flashed a 3.0 rom and loved it. So I bought a Sensation. I'm just curious to know why buy something you already know you don't like? To each their own.

Sorry for the noob question.
miui is built off of cm7 so I would think it would work. ill upload the apk when I get home if someone doesn't beat me to it.
Here you go. I would make a backup of your rom before trying the camera just in case.
Use any file manager with root access to place the APK in system/app then reboot. The camer should then be in your app drawer. If when trying to open it it force closes it wont work. I think it should work with CM7 but dunno about stock gingerbread.

Because the LG camera app has more features and tweaks the camera to take better quality video and photos. It also has the zoom feat. while recording video which is nice to have. Its hard going back to stock after being used to utilizing the extra feats.
Geah!

Just took from SGS II ICS ROM its photo editor (photo retouching).
It is really cool and besides special effects you can actually choose an area and apply all effects or even make stain disappear (fill hole).
It works absolutely flawlessly on our device.

I've tried a few photo editing apps since I started using Instagram. So far, I like Picsay Pro and Camera Zoom. Picsay makes it easier to add text though. I don't think Zoom has the same functionality though.
I liked camera zoom for a while, but moved to Quick Snap (with infinite focus) as my fastest camera (for running kids) and this thread photo editor for the small finishes. For videos editing I use AndroVid btw.

I don't want to be off topic, but :
1. Does it happen on this app only?
2. Is gallery working good otherwise?
3. What launcher are you using?
Go launcher is smoother and more stable comparing to touchwiz.
4. Try deleting your pics and vids, maybe one of them is corrupted..

4.2 Camera port???

Droid life had this posted today.
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/10/31/download-camera-apk-from-android-4-2-photo-sphere-included/
I also see it's available for the I9300.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1966038
I'm not a developer, but how hard would it be to port over to our Verizon model (SCH-I535)?
Right now it opens on the VZ S3 with CM10 and has at least limited access to the camera. Photosphere does not work and it crashes when pictures are taken. Once it crashes it loses access to the camera hardware until a reboot. The gallery side of the app appears to work perfectly and is very smooth and nice. I'm guessing the barrier to getting it working on the S3 is relatively low, perhaps a few libraries, but I've only been playing with it for a few minutes so haven't looked at what's actually going on under the hood yet.

Yea, I just read that. I wouldn't think it would take to long to get it up and running. There's a pretty good community here!
Supposedly the SGS3 has the libs needed already. I too have the same issues as mentioned. You can launch the camera, play around with settings however upon taking a picture it will freeze and force close. Pictures taken with this camera show up in gallery as blank. I'm guessing a bit more work needs to be done before it can be ported over for us. On a side note the new keyboard is pretty sweet.

From my understanding after reading about it on the Android Police link posted above. Is that the phot sphere does work you just can't view it on your phone. You have to share it to google+ and then log into your google+ and you can view it from there.

Spoke too soon, the same happens to me. But all the rest works including video and the new panorama, too bad.
I installed the one from android police earlier today, works pretty good. I cant take the photosphere pics, but cant view on the phone.

I'm running AOKP JB on a build simiar to M1. I had the photo sphere working great. I was even able to view the stitched photo in the new gallery that it installed. But then tonight I went to take some regular pics of the kiddo dressed up for Halloween and it locked up hard. Could view photos in the gallery or take any pictures. I needed up flashing my backup cause I had to take pictures tonight.
I'm guessing someone will come up with a fix soon for it though. I think Android Police or someone on Android Police commented that this is an old build. Maybe that has something to do with......?
