Hey folks, is there a way to get the gallery app to actually download the pics to the phone so they can be viewed offline.

Yep, that's what makes them show in the gallery but they aren't really downloaded to the phone. Some stay in the cache but when you cycle through a album with more than say 5 pics they want to download to view.
While you're seeing the pictures, the phone cache the pic and you can view it offline, but you need to do this manual (looking at all the pictures while online).
I would also like to know if this is possible.
Is there a way to download pictures from picasa? Even if it is through the PC?

That does not work for very long. I have looked at all my pics many times over and they still need to download.

Ok this is going to sound really stupid but hear me out I'm POSITIVE I didn't delete the videos off my phone.
So yesterday I was out with some friends just chilling and I took some pretty funny videos of some of my friends. To share them with my friends I decided I was gonna upload them to youtube, but I couldnt do it directly from my phone for some reason. So I decided to email both video files via gmail to myself then upload them later on the computer. I check a couple hours later and the message is still sending, because of the amount of memory both videos were I assume, so I decided to give up and just find them on the sd card then move them to my pc. So I delete the message that was sending with the attached files since I wasnt going to go about it that way anymore, but then I go back and look through my phone and notice I cant find the videos. By attaching them to my gmail did I move them off the SD card?
I don't know about your main problem but in order to send pics/videos your carriers mobile data must be on, it will not work if only WiFi is enabled.

Sorry I knew it was too confusing. The uploading wasn't the main problem, my main question is if by me attaching those video files to my email then deleting them while they were still in the sending process, did I basically just delete those files off my sd card too??
It shouldn't have deleted the videos, not sure how that could have happened.

Yeah that's why I'm confused, idk they're no where to be found I guess I did something stupid, im still sure I didnt delete them myself though.. /:
What usually happens with me is the gallery app doesn't read new vids or pics when its running I kill the app & they pop up

I have a problem with the gallery app too!! Looking closely one of the random camera videos, it has a screenshot from a different video I did delete. How is this possible.. I may have deleted the two videos by accident because of this. Is there any sort of trashcan?

Its the cache it happens to me when I "hide" videos I think under sdcard/android/data/com.cooliris... there is a file for video cache delete it & it should fix the thumbnails I usually delete the cache & I get less crashes & its faster loading pics

So I cant just delete everything in that cache folder? or Just delete the video cache?
I delete the whole file as it will rebuild the cache

Have you tried using a program to locate the deleted files and "undelete" them?

You can "undelete" from SDCARD with 3rd party applications, I have done long time ago. But I am not sure you can do it since android writes/modifies sdcard too much.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to upload multiple photos to Facebook from the SGS2, directly from the gallery if possible? I have downloaded an app called Speedy Uploader, but was wondering if there is any way t o do it straight from the gallery.
I use a cool app called 'Speedy Uploader'.
Hope that helps.

Did you even read the post?
OP, there isn't a native way but something like the Speedy Uploader app you're using should allow you to select all the images you like and then use the 'Share' button. That'll stop you having to open a second app.
OK i have looked everywhere and tried every "solution" i have seen. hopefully XDA can help...whenever i open up my gallery and go to All tab for my pictures, there are my regular pictures there but also a whole bunch of grey boxes. when i select them i dont have the option to delete them and its driving me crazy. went to the picasa web app and deleted all my empty albums, cleared the cache from my gallery app and even tried doing it from the desktop application and they are still there. any help would be greatly appreciated. oh any btw phone is completely stock, unrooted.
This is not an ideal solution, but it's what I've done. For me, the gallery was freezing, or at least lagging for 5 or 10 seconds when I'd try to select an album.
My fix, if you can call it that, was to stop using gallery, and use something called QuickPic instead. It's basically the same thing. It also makes it very easy to exclude or include folders.
Yea I was using quickpic on my last phone and just havent installed it yet on this one. Still would like the gallery to function properly though.

My gallery shows a bunch of "broken pics", and quick pic shows a bunch of grey boxes. Anyone know of a solution?

Could these be pics that were deleted that gallery thinks are still there?
Have you tried a reboot? Clearing data and cache for gallery app?
What mods have you done?
Not sure what gallery thinks they are. Ive deleted everything thats unwanted in picasa but there is still a little picasa icon next to the empty albums. No mods done at all

How about some screenshots so we can see what is going on? I find that the newest ROMs based on the newest International firmware, fixes all of the gallery stutter and lag as well.
When I download a picture with Chrome browser of the default "Internet" browser it won't show up in Gallery but when i download a picture using Opera Mini web browser it shows up in gallery.
In ES File Explorer and in the "My Files" application i can view the picture though.
How can i fix this?
Oh and this started happening today after an OTA update. Kies notified me now when i connected my phone on the computer for an update again, i hope this will fix my problem.

Well hope you've already fixed your issue with the update....if not try moving your pics to a different folder and rebooting...sometimes the media scanner misses folders...also try to clear your thumbnail data use clean master...its pretty good
Good luck...hope this helped

That I have no idea....probably some bug in the update...anyway glad its working now
Hahaha i dont really know what to think seriously its a bit funny i guess..maybe the chrome update wont trigger the media scanner automatically. Hope this will be fixed, im using firefox at the moment which feels more stable and solid

I am trying to add a photo to a post in Facebook but it only gives me the gallery with 1.000's of photos to sort through. I can't look by folder. and at that even in the gallery app it won't show my folders i have synced to my phone with Cheetah Sync. So the photos i am looking for for Facebook won't be found from the gallery app so therefore i can't add it to Facebook. I'm pissed. I even changed my defaults to Quikpic and no difference. what do I do?

Stop using Facebook?
I kid (kinda).
Is there no menu to swipe out from the left? Usually it gives you options to choose there.

So it's a Facebook issue? I don't remember having this problem with the GS7. I'll have to look at it and compare. I was thinking I had this problem with my iPhone 6+ i had. It's just ridiculous to have to go through thousands of photos at random to find something when I know exactly what folder it's in.

maybe you were using a samsung pre-installed version of facebook, i never do anyway, nor have i ever seen a option with folders.

I use Facebook in the web browser. Uploaded a photo via "folder" that way. Can't justify having an app for Facebook when the web site functions better.
