I didn't post this in the post root problems because up until yesterday I had no problems and have had root since it was made available.
I can't view jpg files in my file explorer any more. I was using Astro up until yesterday but the beta expired so I downloaded Estrongs, which I love, other than the fact that I can't click on a jpg thumbnail to view it. I get "Sorry, cannot start this application" at the bottom of the screen. I was using Astro viewer as default prior to uninstalling it, but assumed I would be prompted to reset a new default program. Ive cleared any defaults on the camera as well.
Maybe it should be mentioned that I also thought it might be a limitation of Estrongs so I tried Root Explorer and same deal there. I take a lot of pics with my phone and look at them quite often so I need to figure this one out. If anyone has any ideas on what to try I would sincerely appreciate it.
Worst case scenario I deal until the devs here earn some more donations by giving us CM6......hopefully.
Is MMS still working for you?
I've got the same issue.
No Pictures and no MMS possible.
In my case, I guess, its because I deleted Mediascape (and or the Gallery App?).
As I don't have any BackUps, I'm waiting till next Root release, and will not delete them anymore...
Try downloading another picture viewer - like Piqture for example, and see if you still have the same problem..
Japp, that did the Trick for me. Gallery within PiQture works, and MMS are available again
Thanks Pal.
Nope i tried piQture and im still getting the same notifications. I also have just pictures installed and i dont even get asked to set it as default.
I can get the mms and see the thumbnail view of it in my conversations, but when i touch the pic to enlarge it, i get the error? Really irritating :-[

Well i reinstalled astro and everything is fine now. My annoyance is that i actually wanted to use Estrongs. Liked the feel of it better. It must occur since i uninstalled mediascape and astro had the only image viewer. Other 3rd party apps just didnt work as well. Now i have to stare at the adds in astro :-(

Ok so before when viewing photos in mediascape I learned that you could tap the mail icon and there would be an option to upload to my picasa web album. Well suddenly it is no longer available?? The only thing that ive done to change anything on my phone since this took place is to install Helixlauncher, which I don't think would screw with that.
Any thoughts??

In order to basically get back to where you started (option to upload picasa web album) you'll need to follow some basic steps....
1. Uninstall Helixlaucher
2. Stop asking silly questions
3. Wouldn't you think that if everything was as you wanted it before you installed an app, things went "wrong" after installation of said app, that it only stands to reason if you uninstall that very same app, you'll be at square one again?
4. Now THIS was a problem. (Just read my friend. Just read)
Which was solved with a little bit of know how!
Hi guys,
First of all, I would like to thank all of the developers and the people who maintain this board for providing such an amazing educational service for the rest of us. Without this website, I would never have learned how to root and do the fancy things that I can now do on my phone. thank you!!
So last night I rooted (2.2, Droid X) and removed the stock e-mail app by renaming the .apk to .bak. Today I decided that I want it back since I use 2 different e-mail accounts. After renaming the app back to .apk, I now see the E-mail app in my app drawer again. However, when I click on it, it loads a black screen for a half second, then closes. I am running LPP as well. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
To the best of my knowledge, you should be able to just rename it back (like you said you did, I'm just hinting maybe something got corrupted?).
Well, it seems to have suddenly fixed itself, I'm not sure what the issue was. However, it does not behave the way it did before. Prior to rooting, I had the e-mail icon in my dock (LPP) and when I tapped on it, it would load my gmail. Now, it loads the MESSAGING window with Universal Messaging, Facebook and Text Messaging. Sigh. Oh well, I guess I'll have to manage without it.
Hey I'm wondering if anyone out there can help me out with my gallery app. It doesn't seem to pick up any pics I have on my sd card. I can take a pic and save it but will disappear from my gallery. I have to open the pic thru root explorer to view it. Does anybody know how to fix this problem? I've deleted my thumbnails and am guessing I deleted something I shouldn't have. I reflashed the stock rom and still have the same issue..Someone plz help
that used to happen to me too it fixes itself but it keeps doing it randomly no problem after i switched rom
Well nice to know my phone isnt the only one doing this..But I need a fix as i can't send any SMS messages since it wont read my pics
I have this issue as well. I can usually make it find new pics if I power-cycle the phone.

By power cycle do u mean reboot??
Yep. Turn off and back on. Then open the gallery, wait, and wait, and wait. They should eventually appear.

Nothing ever happens..Im thinking of deleting the .apk and installing the one from the market cause I've already tried everything
Hello everyone.
I've just realized that after making a video if I delete it and shoot another one the little preview on the file shows the previous and deleted video,it does not match,so I have to go through all the videos in order for me to see the one I want to send or watch.
Has anyone had this issue?
Thanks so much.
Yep
Yep
having same issues with my streak....must have something to do with Album Art Caching....need to write an app for this...
Thank you very much for your reply.I thought I was the only one experiencing this.
Anybody else?
Last night I called Dell and they are gonna send me a new device,since this one is not even a week old.
Yeah me too.. a bit annoying but I got over it pretty quickly.
We all should report this,Dell needs to know,the more the better.
Did you find an app for this? any workaround?
Thanks.
Little workaround
I think I have just found a little workaround to solve this issue.I put my videos on a different folder on my computer,this is what I did after that:
-Go to sdcard (use Astro,Linda,windows file explorer will work too)then go to DCIM,you will see two folders camera and .thumbnails (just delete this one only)
Once you have deleted that one put the videos back on the camera folder,then take a look at the gallery on your streak,now the videos should be showing the real preview.
If you delete one of the videos the issue will be back and you will have to start the process over.After messing a little bit more with this folder I can see it does work.So if you come across the same bug give it a shot.
just initiate a new media scan..
Ok...I know it sounds very stupid specially after trying so many steps,but how can I do that....I'm sure I'm missing something.
Thanks.

Your phone should do a media scan when you restart, if that doesn't clear up the problem you can try an app like Rescan Media. It forces a media rescan without a reboot. There are others, that was the first I found.
Ok...I think I got it this time.Maybe it is one of the apps that do not autostart when I turn on the device,I use autostarts to disable apps and I must have disabled something that was not supossed to be off.
Thanks.
Hi guys,
Hitting wall with this S5 since .nomedia file for me doesn't work. I have an app installed in internal memory, which has some pictures in it for its operation. Now this pictures show up in gallery which is really annoying as there are about 30folders(gallery lists as albums..)
I tried full reset gallery + media storage apps, restart phone. Gallery opens, clear first and within couple seconds again full of that crap.... Now is there any solution on this? I don't really want to download apps since troubleshooting when they crash is even bigger pain....

I also have had problems with the stock gallery dsiplaying some .nomedia directories, i use quickpic though and it works flawlessly there, theres even an option in it to hide folders, so its not an issue for me. According to google this is a widespread issue, and suprise suprise a solution i saw was use quickpic.

But that's complete rubbish, what's the point to pay premium for a phone which is not even capable to do basics? I get really annoyed lately with samsung... They keep removing useful features one after another with each new model release.... Instead put loads of rubbish apps which never gets used...
So how does quickpic work then? Surely there should be a way to manually do same ?

Something you can try is force stopping the gallery then clear the cache and data, open it, then repeat a few times till it works. Quickpic works like a gallery lol, just download it yourself and play with it, if you long press a folder theres a menu option to hide it.
