Got a call from a friend today who has a D2G, said he woke up this morning and his pictures had vanished over night. He tried his card in his old galaxy s and kept getting a force close when opening the gallery. He then tried it in his D1 and it would open, show that he had all his pics, and then fc. The next time he would open the gallery it would show about half the photos and fc, and so on.
Any ideas?

I had that happen to me a few weeks ago and had to reload the photos.

Did the file names get screwy to? And what exactly did you do to fix it? I need step by step instructions for my friend >. > and it doesn't help that I haven't encountered anything like this with my evo.

I'm having a problem getting photos to display in the correct order using the Gallery app on my Nexus 7.
I can copy pictures OK but when I look a them they are in reverse order - the last one shows first. They are fine on my PC and the file creation date and tags all look fine.
Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for any suggestions!
It's a "feature" of gallery - you will need to use a 3rd party app such as quickpic if you want thm in order. Annoying isn't it.

Thanks - that works a treat!
Seems a bit rubbish they can't get something so basic right in Android though.
I love android but for all the bragging Google makes about "real " multitasking I find it really lacking, let's say you get an email and you have an attachment you download and open the picture but then someone calls you and you finish the call you press the multitasking button and want to open the picture again but the gallery is not "open" ist not in the recent apps /multitasking list and if you try to open the gallery by yourself with the launcher or a shortcut the picture you were watching a couple of minutes is not there because "gmail open the picture with the gallery but the gallery is not being used " , then you try to go to gmail then to see your picture there but surprise ! The picture is closed and your back on your mail , you have to reopen/ redownload your picture
What do you guys think ? Am I being to picky ?
Also the thumbs from the task switcher , sometimes the pictures showing there could be from a state your app was 30 minutes ago , they don't update in real time :banghead:

Works for me.
Are you sure you havn't played with the number of allowed background apps setting in developer options?
Nexus4 has 2GB of RAM, plenty to support the apps you mention.... Android will only start closing background when when memory is low, and form oldest first.
I don't know how exactly android works, but this is my guess on why things happen as you've mentioned.
Each screen in android is called an Activity. When gmail opens picture, it is not opening the entire gallery app.
It's just opening an activity within gallery app to display a picture.Which is why the gallery app is not in multi-tasking list.

+1 to that, but if you press the gmail icon in the recent apps, the picture would appear in front of you again

But it shouldn't be that way , its very annoying ,try to open a document in dropbox and start reading it then go to the music player using the task switcher , then try to switch back to your document (using drop box ) tell me what happens ? Your document is nowhere to be found you're again on the main screen of the dropbox app

If you were to press back you'd go back to the image and such and as a matter a fact i prefer it this way. I don't want every image I view from email to be in my gallery as I didn't save it. The view attachments is a preview of said image. If a call comes in then and it looses focus it I wouldn't expect to go back to the Gallery and find it there since that's not where it was in the first place (even though the Gallery App was the one that opened it. That's like watching videos online then later in the day going back to gallery to expect to find that same video).

If this is happening then it is very likely a problem with the application. Android has a great structure in place for multitasking, but developers also have to do their part to make sure their app works as expected.

If you exit gmail application with the gallery activity still open, of course the picture would appear again when you return. That is live multitasking.
Yeah so true.. its way better on iOS where you get a jiggly icon
*pffttttt* ahh hahahahahaha

There is an app called PVStar+ (or similar) which allows you to play Youtube in the background. I use it to listen to concerts...
Anytime you get interrupted with a phone call, complete your call, press back, and your gallery image would appear.
The real answer, I just opened gmail, went to an email with image attached, opened in gallery, then press home. Hit multitask key, and the gallery image appears with the gmail icon and name. So the multitask works correctly like it should. Not sure why this thread states otherwise.

Android relies heavily on the back button to navigate through the os. Learn to use it and your life will be a lot better.

No, no you're getting me wrong , what i mean is that it would be better if when you open the gallery the image should be there until you close the gallery when you close it then the picture should be gone which brings me to my other complain, the multitasking button should really kill the apps , not just delete them from the list, well not really kill them since android has to keep the apps "open in the background" just reset them to their "stock state" just so that the background syncing/notifications still work

Well maybe gmail was a bad example, but you have to admit that the way multitasking works in android is very patchy and not only on third developer apps
AW: Multitasking needs some serious improvements :'(
Apps do not multitask at all on Android, only services do. When an app goes to the background, the OS asks it to pause and save its state. When it comes back to foreground, the OS asks the app to resume and load its state. This creates the illusion of multitasking, because the app continues where you left, but only works if the app developer follows the guidelines.

My phone system is OMNI 4.4.2.
I noticed this too, but only with some of the icons.
Looks like it does that with every icon from apps that have been transferred to the SDcard.
I then tried to backup the home screen with "MyBackup Root", so I can restore it afterwards, but apparently, this feature doesn't like 4.4.x roms...

Yes ,if your apps have been installed in Device storage ，it will not happen.But the icons of apps have been moved in SDcard will Disappear.

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?

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.

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.
