::sigh:: actually my GF's junk.
This is the way Android camera was designed, to give you a quick jump between camera and gallery. If you don't like it - there are plenty of replacement camera apps on the market, check them out.
You could move the pics and vids to another folder, and disable the folder in the gallery app (push menu button in gallery).
Or read this for more tips: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/hide-private-picture-folders-gallery-android/
your just using the wrong app -
Search for "audio manager" - it is a blue music sign with a orange one on the back,
go into this and you realise it is called hide it pro - download it,
simple to use and works perfectly

pretty sure those will show up elsewhere like in the gallery unless you hide the folder - put a period in the beggining of the name - example .xxxpics

Or put a file called .nomedia in the folder, it won't be scanned for media files by any apps.

I seriously doubt that, I have had 3 other Android devices and this is my first Sense Android and the first that does that thumbnail thing

He is quite correct, the stock Android camera-app does feature the small thumbnail picture for quick gallery access. I see it on my Nexus One right now.

When somebody sends me a (one) picture by MMS it always shows up as a slideshow and I have to press play to see it. It's really annoying because you can't zoom on the pic, you have to save it then click on it.
This didn't use to happen with my Xperia X10. Is this a setting on our phones?
exists with the whole galaxy line. the way around is to use another app for your sms needs.
They all do that. Unless there is a specific app u had in mind.

After moving some images from the camera to a new folder, the regular gallery app won't show them, just a triangle where the image should be. Also, I can't send these images in messages from quickpic. What can I do about this? They're all pics of my newborn son and everybody wants to see him!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
did you try clearing quickpic's data and cache
I have a problem with Quickpic too - when I try to assign a picture to a contact - when you pick a picture, choose 'set as' and then try and assign a picture to a contact it just doesn't work. The picture to be assigned opens up with the margins to be set (edit mode), fades away for an instant and then comes back. When you set the margins and click the floppy disc icon (in the top right hand corner) to 'save' the picture the screen goes black and you have to exit the program. I'm fairly sure that this feature used to work fine up until recently. I've even gone as far as to do a factory reset on my phone, reflash my phone's ROM and reinstall the QuickPic app. No change though, I still can't set a contact picture.
Can anyone help? My phone is a Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray.

So the images wont show in the stock gallery app or quickpic? Hate to say this but they may have gotten currupted during the move.
When I take a picture, and then share it with any app or messages, the images are rotated to the side. When i send someone a picture, they only receive it side ways.. started to appear after i updated to 4.1.2 OTA. Is there a fix for this, it doesnt seem to be a common issue.

Haha, same problem. When I'm on twitter and I will attach a photo to my tweet it rotates in the preview... for what reason ever.
But the good point is, it isnt rotated in the sent tweet.
Actually, its only for text messages. How did u fix it?

I'm in the construction industry. It would be quite handy if I could take a picture of something and then write down notes and/or dimensions on the picture and then email the amended picture.
I know you can take a pic and that you can use the pen for all sorts of neat stuff. But nowhere have I seen an example of writing on a picture just taken. Is this possible?
Thanks

Yeah, you have to open up the picture in an editor like photoshop or any one with the ability to write. When you're done save it and email it

What device do you have? My LG-L9 (LGP769BK) phone comes with quick memo where I snap a screenshot and it automatically brings up a pen and other accessories.
Take a look at Evernote with Skitch. I'm pretty sure it'll do exactly what you're looking for.

Open snote then at the top right click the plus button to open a template for this example click the first template called "note". once the template is open' click the plus to the left of the Mic, not the plus at the top. Their is the option to take picture, take your picture, select the pin you want to use at the top left area, write on the pics and when you are done select setting at at the top right (three bars) and select export, then select. jpg and save. Now go to the save folder, it is saved on SD card in a folder called s note export. Now just email. Sounds long but its just click click click. And it is built in, no 3rd party app needed.
