Hi,
Anyone know if it is possible to prevent saving pictures and video to a folder for each day \20051905? I would like to save all pics to one folder \pics and \vids for example... is this possible?
Thanks,
OB.

Hi Guys
I got 2 problems related to the Album.
1. My photos appear extremly blurry on the main screen (the part where you flick through them). It's not a huge deal, but I wouldnt mind some focus.
2. When I make my way to a video album the videos are only displayed as windows media icons. No text and no thumbnail video preview. As a result I have to guess which one of the 50 videos is the one I want to show a friend.
Please help me.
Unbelievable
I just can't believe absolutely no-one has a solution, or some advice at the least.
If I can't get help here, I am doomed.
I thought this forum was over-run by brainiacs.
Guess not.

Hey!
To be honest....it's not a solution I can offer you...because I think everybody has the same issue with the blurry pictures and no preview video, but I think I can explain why....The main reason I guess it's blurry, is because it will take too much time for the device to pre-load the images on the sceen ie...especially if you have many high resolution pictures, it takes forever to load for every picture...the same with the music...that can also takes some time to load when you slide to the music tab.....
for the video the same reason I guess..
Please anybody...correct me if i'm wrong....
BTW...If you see the amount of views for this topic, you'll see that a lot of people see your problem, but don't have a solution for it....so please newby...don't complain allright??? we all try to help each other......
I had the same problem very blurry photos. But I solved it on mine.
Copy the original photos onto your diamond into the internal storage. I put mine in my pictures for while I did this.
Then on the diamond go onto your people tab and on each of your favourite people click on the menu bottom (bottom left).
Select change picture.
Then select the photo from the location you copied them too earlier..
That's it.
Do that for each of your favourite people.
It seems outlook contacts get saved with much lower resolution photo's but if you add the photo's on the phone it's a much higher res.

BTW I deleted the folder I'd copied into internal storage once i'd completed this and the photo's all stayed so there's no need to have the copied photo's permanently on the phone

That's a good answer nice man! I knew the problem was also on the Favorites Contacts tab, where the photo's were blurry as well, but I didn't know you could also fix it on the Photo/Video Tab...!
Nice tip!
me confused
Capt_Carl, I think you are confusing "blurry pictures in Photo & Video Tab" (my problem) with "blurry contact pictures in the Favorite People Tab" (solved this a while ago).
Am I just misunderstanding Capt_Carl.
What do you think Pietje_1985?

Yes....to be honest...i'm confused as well.. because of the fact that I knew there was a problem with the Favorite People tab and the pictures, but for the Photo/Video tab, I still think you can't solve that problem....... I thought Capt_Carl had the answer, but I think not after I read your post MaD-CoW
Ne ways...I hope maybe somebody else is familiar with the problems and somebody has got a solution to it.....
Cheers
Bump
Has anyone solved the blurry photos in the photo & video tab?
I have the same problem. 700 views and still no luck. I'll wait.
I'll join in the wait as well.
Update?
Maybe an update to the new official ROM 2.03 could help?
With the 2.03 ROM the problem started for me. On 1.93 it was fine.
Make the pictures 240x320
I'm currently experiencing a very annoying problem with the gallery. When I press on Gallery, it takes a very long time before it loads the pictures. Same deal after taking a picture, if I want to view it, it takes me to a black screen, but if I wait for like 5 minutes, I can view all the pictures on my Camera folder. This is very annoying. Where in the SD am I supposed to place my pictures?
Bump, hope someone can help.

Installed it, doesn't help for me.
Hmmm...i tk it u tried all four possible changes while rebooting each time to see if it worked?...Unless u have a ton of pictures on ur card then maybe u should consider getting a higher class SD card then...
Try QuickPic from market, its for free.
Its better than the stock gallery:
- faster
- you can exclude or even hide folders beeing showed
- ...
Yes very true use QuickPic. Much better than stock.
ok, none of the answers listed above worked for me. nothing against the posters. I was having the same problem with my hd2 running android. I just read an article and it said to create a ".nomedia" file (in notepad on your pc) and transfer it into the folder you don't want shown. NOTE: if you do a search for ".nomedia" there might be one already created in another file. You can cut and paste it if you don't feel like making one).
My gallery ALWAYS crashed when I tried to add .gifs to an mms. I would be able to scroll once and then the gallery would get stuck and force close. Since I added the .nomedia file to the .thumbnails file in dcim (where there were 2,550 thumbnails) I can at least scroll through the full gallery WITHOUT a gallery force close. Again, it is not perfect or extremely fast, but it is now functional. Hope this helps someone else.
try a faster sd card
and OP please dont bump your posts after 1 hour or so of posting
I would also say: try a faster card - seems there is the problem - although the gallery appears quite often slow, when it is loaded for the first time and full with pictures from the pc.

Everyone, my problem is fixed. Download this:

It helped.
hi guys, I thought'd I'd share a tip with everybody.
I take tons of pictures and I keep everything, so my photo directory was upwards of 800 pictures at one point, when I was still using my X10.
I started moving my photos into separate directories, but that are still detected by the Gallery app.
So I keep my most recent photos in ..\DCIM\100ANDRO\ and then keep other photos organized in:
..\DCIM\2010 (X10)
..\DCIM\2011 01 to 03 (X10)
..\DCIM\2011 04 to 06 (X10)
..\DCIM\2011 07 to 08 (X10)
..\DCIM\2011 09 to 12 (Arc)
Gallery will still be able to view the subfolders, but this way, you won't have more than 100 or 200 per folder, which Gallery will handle quite easily.
If you take more pictures than that, just separate into smaller month increments, but I suspect you'll just run out of room
The naming structure is so that the directories stay in chronological order, but feel free to use your own!
I organise into folders too, but I also use quickpic instead of stock gallery.
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
Sorry to ask in this thread but what's the default location for Pictures, Music and Videos on the arc?
For some reason, it's not detecting my music or videos but there are folders for the same. I was just wondering if I altered the names of the folders by accident.
For me the default locations are:
Images (stock):
/sdcard/image
Images (camera photos & vids):
/sdcard/DCIM/100ANDRO
Music:
/sdcard/music
That's what it is on mine - hope this is what you were after
Thanks. That's exactly what I was asking for.
Everything seems correct on my SD card but neither images seem to be detected in the gallery nor music in the music player.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: Camera images do turn up in the gallery. Fb pictures are visible; just not the regular pictures.

Try clearing data in settings and if that fails pop out the battery for 10 seconds.
Never thought of that. Thanks.
I take alot of pictures aswell, almost hit the 1000 mark

Happened with mine when I updated it to .145.
I backed up everything, hit factory rest and restored the phone using PCC.
That solved it for me.
Not sure why this is happening. When ever I save a picture it said it's saved to device storage but when I go to the galley there's nothing there. I have to go my files and find it in the download folder
Love the 90s good times
You may need to go into your gallery settings and select your download folder as a place to look for pictures. I know when I first setup my phone I didn't like how the gallery showed album art and other pix I didn't want in the gallery so I went into settings and unchecked a lot of folders.
Also make sure there's not a ".nomedia" file in the folder...gallery will ignore those folders. You should already know if it's there, but worth checking.
