I just switched from a LG G2 to the Samsung Galaxy S5 and love it so far, but one thing I don't like is the S5 only allows you to select a contact photo from images only from your gallery. The LG G2 used to allow you to select the image menu option and use a file manager to pick a contact photo from a folder that might not be in my gallery. Does the S5 have an option to do this and pick a contact photo using a file manager that is not in the gallery? A couple screenshots of each phone showing this.
Thanks,

Hey guys, this is a bit weird, but I'm *yay* close to returning my Atrix.
I can't view any of the photos I've taken with the phone. When I click on the photo in the default Atrix gallery, I get a quick flash of the thumbnail but then the Atrix fails to show the actual hi-res photo, and I get the image "filler icon" in the middle of the screen.
When I installed the 3D Gallery (the one on the Nexus) instead, I can only see the thumbnails, and when I click on them, I get what seems to be a stretched thumbnail.
I'm on a non-rooted, non-deodexed, Bell Atrix with the stock launcher. Is this thing a dud?
When I browse in my Gallery it shows all the folders that I have locally as well as all my Google+ folders and on other devices I've been able to simply click on one of those images and set it as a Wallpaper. Now that I've got the GS4, I don't seem to be able to do this any longer and when I go through the Wallpaper settings to choose a picture it only allows me to use local images (same for contact images). Is there any way to change how this behaves?
Also, is there a fix for the weird treatment of landscape pictures (rotating them)?
Thanks.
Hi all,
I'm trying to have Daydream Photo Frame display my Google+ photos on a S4 (stock Samsung ROM, UBMGA). It's said in https://support.google.com/nexus/4/answer/2818748?hl=en that "Photo Frame presents a slideshow of photos on your device or Google+ account. ".
My account is correctly synced, but when I try to click on the little gears icon next to the Photo Frame selector, I only get a black screen.
If I take a picture with my phone, it appears there, but I'd like to use my Google+ photos instead of local ones.
Does anyone know if Samsung removed that functionnality from their ROM, or if there's something I should do to make it work?
Thanks.
Hello. Today when I wanted to open picture taken from camera I got pop up window asking me do I want to open that picture via Gallery or Photos (apps) when I've chosen Photos it asked me "Only this time" or "Always" I clicked Always. Now it's opening pictures from camera in Photos app. How to revert, to change to open it via Gallery? Because in Photos app the pictures aren't full screen and Hover option doesn't work in it.
Hi guys, I have a SM-G530H on the September 2014 KitKat build number G530HXXU1ANII
It is rooted. Everything seems fine but for one thing.
Take for example I'm on Whatsapp and have to send a picture saved on my phone to someone , or change my DP, I select Gallery. It opens up the Gallery. As soon as I click on any picture it takes me back to the homescreen.
I reopen Whatsapp and it straightaway takes me to picture select screen and now selection from Gallery works normally.
This happens while uploading to any other app (Fb on browser, XDA) from Gallery. It opens the Gallery for picture selection, I click on a chosen picture and it takes me to homescreen and I have to restart entire process again. It is very annoying. Please help. Thank you
Try to clean the cache of the gallery settings>apps manager> all apps and search for the gallery app and clean it
Didn't work brother

Hi, I don't know if it will help you, but I've experimented gallery issues with another device and I solved it downloading another gallery app from G Play end froze (eg: with Titanium - needs root) the stock gallery.
Updating to latest firmware solved it
