so I'm really picky about these kinds of issues... so this is something that i would actually hard reset over... the thumbnail that is being shown for one of my sites came out really ugly... whereas my other ones are perfect... is there a way to redo the image that is saved? i know how to delete it but then it will never show another preview...so yea... can anyone help me out?
basically i need the thumbnail to reset so that i can make the preview pretty
Delete the thumbnail, connect to a decent connection and re-save it as one of the thumbnails.
*Edit* I have no issue with redoing my thubnails in this way.

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

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
hi,
a small but very annoying issue: I copied several folders with pictures into the sd card, but when viewing them through the built in picture viewer the photos are sorted in reverse chronological order: it always starts with the newest pictures and ends with the oldest, whereas I want it to display oldest first. having it in reverse order makes absolutely no sense for showing a slideshow etc, but I couldn't find any option to change that.
anyone have any ideas?
Perfect
No , but this is a very good question ?
Same here.
Any suggestions?
Agreed, anyone help?
already discussed last week. Do a search
Some how my thumbnails in Album are messed up. If I tap on a particular thumbnail I get the full photo of another photo.
Is there some way to delete the thumbnail cache so it refreshes?
Thanks!
hi, I have the same problem. already tried to delete cache files but the thumbnails are still messed up...
i sadly had to hard reset it to fix it.
hi,
here's a solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4121645&postcount=2
worked fine except that one image still has a wrong thumbnail. maybe this is because the image is larger than 1 MB...
Great stuff.. that fix did the trick perfectly for me. thx michlmania
Title says it all really.
anyone else find that the Album app shows the wrong thumbnail for some pics? If you tap on the thumbnail, picture that comes up is different. I am even finding that the thumbnail shown for some photos is a photo that has been deleted!
Eg. album shows thumbnail of photo I took with the camera. However, tapping on it brings up one of the default wallpapers. Every time I open Album, different pictures are affected. Tried searching but couldn't find a solution to this. Any ideas?
Hi fisha21
Had the same problem for some time. Did some research but without luck. What I did to fix it, i deleted the HTC Album Cache manually.
Go to
<YOUR_TOPAZ>Application Data\HTC\HTC ALBUM\Cache
and Backup all the files to your system for the case something goes wrong. My files are about 20mb so I think the thumbnails are stored in there.
When the backup is done, delete all files in the cache-folder and softreset your device.
After that all my thumbnails in HTC Album were plain white. I think that's because it has to renew the Cache first. This could take some time. I'm not sure what triggers the renewing of the cache. I just viewed some pictures an after some time everything was okay and it showed the right thumbails. Just be patient.
I hope the same procedure could help you too. If not just copy the backed up files back into the folder.
Thanks for the tip! Will give that a try.
I've had this problem too. It's actually really annoying as you never know which picture you're going to get!
I find that it seems to get better after a soft reset, but the more you scroll through your pictures the more jumbled they seem to get.
Did Syrus01's fix work for you? Did the problem come back again?
So, I recently had some issues with my tab, and decided to back and wipe it, starting over. On issue was with that Gallery app. see, I have a long distance relationship, and decided to take some...personal... pictures to send to my bf. forgot they uploaded to google plus; that's ok though because those photos are set to private by default, and no one saw. thing is, as you may know, all google plus photos sync to the gallery app, and each Plus folder becomes an icon in that app, with the latest photo taken as the thumbnail. I figured oh, no biggie, I'll just delete that personal photo, and make it disappear fromt eh tab as well. Well, the photo itself disappeared, but the thumbnail would not. Even after I took more photos and uploaded them to plus, even from the tabe itself, the personal photo was still the thumbnail, and would not change. this probably has something to do with the fact that I constantly got an error message on the tab saying "process android.com.media has stopped."
Then I did the wipe, and it was fixed. But I now have other issues with the gallery. See, I plugged in my external hard drive to it to use for my TB backup and restore for the wipe. I restored apps individually, since I didn't want to restore everything and take the risk of restoring data that held one of the many other glitches I'd been having. Tab worked great after the wipe, so did Gallery, then I restored, and the tab still worked great. But a few weeks after this whole situation, I happen to turn on the gallery app, which I'd never restored with TB. I am treated to a massive grid of icons, maybe hundreds, of photo albums. see, the hard drive i've had plugged into the tablet's USB port wasn't just for my Tablet; it's a 1 Terabyte drive that I have hundreds of gigabytes worth of backup data on from both my mac and PC partitions on my laptop. there are hundreds of folders ont here that have at least 1 picture type file int hem, and the Gallery app automatically adds every single folder with any kind of pic file on it as an album icon. to make it worse, it will not let you delete these albums from the Gallery viewer, even though the photos aren't there, even when the gallery app says the photos aren't found, even thought the OS is DESIGNED FOR REMOVABLE HARD DRIVES!
That's insane, and an incredibly bad design flaw that i'm appalled Google had not fixed, with all the time they've had testing HC and ICS, and programming the Gallery to view photos and scan Hard drives, you know they saw it. to make matters worse, a few weeks later, I'm also having the "process android.com.media has stopped." message come up again. so, idk what's going to happen with that.
Any ideas for a solution, or at least better photo viewer apps? My phone is a Sense infected HTC device, Sense may not be great but at least it's photo viewer gives you the ability to make it ignore specific folders on the card.
what?
Try clearing your gallery cache and force stopping it i use a 500gb and they should disappear after you unplug the hard drive atleast they do for me glad to hear you got the other problem solved also what custom rom are you using?

If your up for it I would try installing one of the many custom roms sounds like the actual app is messing up perhaps a log cat would help....
If you don't want to here's some alternative photo viewers
1.Quickpic

2.photo gallery (fishbowl)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.littlefatfish.photo&hl=en
No need to install a different rom.
What you need, is to get rid of the thumbnails when you use different apps.
Try this;

One of the things you have to remember, if you have all kinds of foto apps, they will undoubtedly synch them all eventually. And you'll wind up with them again.
