Photo Gallery - General Questions and Answers

Just wondering if anyone is experiencing problems with gallery on their arc or android device.. some photos show up as corrupted then I take a photo they show up then disappear again..
So annoying.. has it got anything to do with
(1) 32gig micro sd card, no issue with 8gig, do different brand cards matter?
(2) virus/bug perhaps, only new to android and download from market
(3) emulator roms added to card?

[Q] PowerAMP doesn't see my external MicroSD card?

I'm trying to play some WMA files on my microSD card, but I can't add those folders to PowerAMP. Any way around this, or any other apps that can?
I don't use it , but I just tried PowerAMP Trail and no I could not see /Removable either. You should email the developer and let him know. It was the same thing with a "fresh" install of Quickpic 1.1.3. I emailed him and in less then 4 hours he had a fix
Guys,
I contacted PowerAmp through the built-in feature and got reply within less than 24h. They sent me a new build of the app (380) and the Removable/MicroSD is now supported. However, I asked them again to add the Removable/SD directory for people who want to use the dock SD card.
I'll let you know if I can post the link to the apk or if they will make it an official update.
Max from PowerAMP is still working on including all removable media (/MicroSD and /SD) and will have an update in the market shortly. Apparently he does not want the beta build to leak so we all have to be patient!

I'm not sure if he updated it on the market yet. He sent me (and others) a version to try. The version number was the same,1.1.3. I see videos and pix on my /Removable with the version he sent me. All my vidz are .mp4's if that makes any difference.
I'll test the one on the market when I get home.
No He didn't updated it on the market yet. 1.1.2 did let you pick /Removable. 1.1.2 was a little difficult (for me) to find. I found it in rom on here some place.
EDIT: I don't know if you want too, but 1.1.2 was inside this rom "pinpongs-rom1.3.zip" and the installer name was "com.alensw.PicFolder-1.apk". I tend to do things the hard way lolol.
Got word from the PowerAMP dev this morning that he will post the update in the market today. However, to complicate things, I sent him info about the mounts when both USB ports have devices attached and both card slots are occupied as well All they need to do really is to add /Removable and sub-directories to the selectable media.

Quickpic 1.1.5 was just released.
I stopped using poweramp for this reason, I have just installed it again as I am a Full version user, and I can confirm that its working with microsd card support. The only thing I'm now disappointed with is the notification. When you use the built built music player you see that there is music playing, you click and then you are given buttons skip prev and pause/play.
i think im gonna email the developer and see if he can do that.

He already knows. Yesterday I sent him the mount info with everything connected (both USB ports, microSD and SD card). All they need to do is add the /data/Removable directory to the selection He's working on it!
Can someone please tell me how there getting PowerAmp to access the Removal SD Card. I want to move my music files off the SD Card but the Removal card is not found in the availabe folder paths.

Are you talking about the SD card on the dock or the microSD in the tablet?

To start I would like to use the music folders on the SD Card on the tablet. But knowing how to also use any attached storage on the keyboard which I do have would be appreciated.

I was able get mine to work using Partition Tool Kit and choosing SDCard0 as the mount point not extSDCard.

[Q] Question - SD Card Contents Disappearing

There is something on my phone that keeps deleting .avi video files from my SD card. I noticed when I could not find some videos I recorded that were very important so I recorded more videos just to see what would happen and sure enough at some point they disappeared and I know they were not moved or misplaced because they were too large to lose. I have also noticed most of my playlists are missing, although I may have deleted those, I just don't remember.
Is there a free app out there that can monitor my SD card for any changes and let me know which app is creating, changing or removing files? I have a lot of apps installed on my phone and don't want to remove them one at a time to see which app is misbehaving.
Have you searched your SDcard for *.avi files?
Swyped from my HTC Sensation.
Yes. I used Astro to search on my phone and when I did not find anything I put my SD card into my computer and searched with windows and found nothing.
Very strange indeed, but I have not encountered this.

Well do you know of any app that may help me solve this problem?
I had the same problem. Turned out I had faulty sd card. Since I replaced the sd card I haven't had the problem since

[Q] Duplicate files on phone

So I have noticed that my sd card storage space has a lot of space occupied on it but I don't have that many apps installed on the phone. I noticed that a lot of files and things are getting duplicated. If I open my gallery, It will say i have over a thousand pictures when in reality there's only a few hundred. When opening the gallery album, it will show 1 thumbnail and then 4 blank ones but of the same file. I connected the phone to my computer and on my internal sd card, theres 4 copies of every folder and multiple picture files. This duplicating is hogging all my space. Has anyone had this issue? Im running Eaglesblood ICS build 4 on the new v21y baseband.
Yes I've had the same issue with songs and downloaded ringtones. And the copies don't even work. Can't find I fix. If you find one let me know. I'm running EGB 4 also

It seems a problem with android 4+ I made a goo.gle link but haven't posted much here yet oQSfA is the extension of the url. If I am erroneously posting this, I am sorry. I have the same issue. If anyone can post a clickable link it might get stars quicker. It might be fixed in jelly bean, but I don't know.
Issue 39546:Files under DCIM/.thumbnails are eating away at SD card storage
I have since done factory restore with formatting the stock SD. File is there, much smaller though 197 KB. No pictures to thumbnail, so it isn't necessarily solved. I did switch out cards (old 16GB to stock 4GB) before format and delete the .thumbnail file but that was recreated even with no pictures. I figured it may be my picasa account, but have since opened gallery. After letting more (from Picasa) picture and folder thumbnails appear than ever before my file is still small
.:banghead:
it still (6+ hours) has not grown giant. In fact its not really there. I didn't disable any of TMobile bloat like I did initially, and have the blank SD. In the process of reinstalling apps reopening gallery and checking space with storage analyzer.
I still don't like not being able to choose internal USB or external storage SD. Most apps "moved to SD card" just move to USB storage. Interestingly tapatalk appeared to move to the real external SD card as did a few others.
I doubt this will be fixed on ICS. I can hope though. It seems like the app itself needs to use the external SD directory, but the stock gallery might never be updated.
Samsung galaxy blaze 4G with stock ICS 4.0.4. All the extra TMobile apps are a pre-installed, but not updated.
I don't claim to be knowledgeable enough to know what I don't know. I always reserve the right to be wrong.
Taking pictures didn't make thumbnail file huge, but one relatively small video of 29 seconds with a 5MP camera created a 47mb file and two 3mb files in the thumbnail folder. Not huge but bigger than 10%.

finally it worked... thanks a lot bro...
for all others dealing with same issue, here is what i did... just replaced the thumbnail file with another file created with root explorer named it same as the thumbnail file n removed the write permissions of the new file created... so it wont let system write any data in it. therefore it stays empty.

[Q] Using SDcard as default everything?

So I bought the 16GB model and a 32GB SD Card. Works great n all but nothing seems to default to it (apart camera)
Gallery doesnt display pictures from it, games download data to internal storage.. stuff like that. Any way to default to SD card on some things but not others? I wouldnt mind some games being on internal storage but being unable to see any pictures/videos in the gallery app because its on the SDcard is terrible :/
Thanks ^_^
Check the super link2sd thread... I would link it but I'm on my phone... Are you rooted
