Just got this phone. Would like to seek advice from experienced members here.
How do I set the gallery to show only photos from phone by default? By default the setting is all, which includes picassa and Dropbox, which makes opening gallery rather slow as it loads photos from there. Every time I have to set it to view photo from phone only.
Can it be done? Using stock stock rom but rooted.

the main reason i want to do this is because it takes a minute or so to load my photos due to the fact it is searching for photos on my picassa account.
however, i found a way to disable that.
settings->google (under "accounts")->[your email, under "accounts"]->untick "sync picasa web albums"
done! i also unticked sync chrome, currents, google+, instant upload, internet... i left contacts, gmail and calander as i use them.
thanks everyone for trying to help me. i really appreciate that
Guys I was wondering if with the Nexus 4 it is possible to have my personal pictures on the cloud (through Picasa or something like this). I have 7 Gigs that i occasionally browse on my mobile so, to save some space, it would be nice to have them on the cloud.
Most important part is to browse them with the default gallery application. I know it would be possible to use the cloud provider's app but I prefer using default gallery.
Hope there is a way. Ty all for you support.
google+ instant upload?

I have read about that option. But using that all my pictures will be watchable on my google+ profile right?
BTW it should put picture taken with my N4 in google+ account.
I'm looking on a way to have available(on the cloud) the pictures that i have on my PC without using my N4 gigs.
Anybody know how to add different cloud accounts to the gallery? Dropbox is there but I want to add box to it also.

I just installed Box, signed in and rebooted. Just went to Gallery to share a pic and Box is an option now.
Thanks but what I wanted was to be able to view those (box pictures) from the gallery. Out you look at the to left in the gallery, it says " gallery". If you click it, it has other options.

I'm only seeing Dropbox get added as an option in the Gallery, I went to Cloud and Accounts but no option to add other Clouds. Still Picasa and Dropbox can easily store several lifetimes of photos. I have 100 gigs free with Dropbox.
Also I suggest adding Google drive and Google Plus accounts, every photo I take goes automatically to my photo storage on Google Plus. You get 15 gigs of space free and any photos you upload less than 2048px (or that you let Google+ resize for you) won't count against your limits.
So, still no solution to that?

Is there anyway to completely remove the Picasa selection from Gallery?
Cheers
hi there.
two days ago i got my new s5. i like it and all but all the image storing and online storage is a little much at first. but since my previous phone was stolen and i lost a couple of hundred of fond memories (pictures) i was determined to store them online this time. i set up a dropbox account that seems to come with the phone and i used picasa or whatever google drive calls my online gallery (never used this before).
it's neat and i figured out how to hide online pictures so it serves as a backup.
NOW TO MY PROBLEM:
since everything is new to me here (had sgs2 before) i played around in the gallery that is now largely different. i seem to have set something to the wrong setting because now it doesn't show ANY PICTURES anymore. not from any folder/album. from one second to the other everything was gone (from the gallery). the pictures are all there, though. i can access them with any other app (es file explorer, google pictures, camera, etc.) but i want my gallery back. it says "no items - after you take, record or upload pictures or videos to dropbox, items will be shown in gallery"
this leads me to suspect that i might have switched my gallery to displaying the contents of my EMPTY dropbox account. i don't want this but i am unable to change it back. besides i have an app for dropbox stuffs so why is this feature even integrated?
settings shows me the following:
accounts:
[g] my gmail account
SNS DATA CONTROL:
sync via wifi only [v]
CLOUD SYNC
dropbox sync
tap to sync content
FILTER
filter by
TAGS
tag buddy
off
face tag [_]
above i can only access "Add Account" which brings me to a menu displaying all my accounts (or some): samsung, google, dropbox, facebook
PLEASE HELP ME!
i did not find any help searching because there seems to be a similar problem with people's media storage malfunctioning. i don't believe that is my problem but i tried resetting the media storage anyways. i am sure it is something that i did to hide my pictures. how do i get them back? i don't plan on using a different gallery app but maybe it is the only solution?
regards

EDIT:

i actually just installed quickpic and it shows all my pictures which proves to me even further that nothing is wrong with the pictures but just that my gallery is screwed up. how do i unscrew it?
Clear data for gallery app under settings/applications.
Hey guys,
So I've been using my Nexus 6P for about a week now and I had to do a reset because I was having some issues with mms and for some reason my new apn wouldn't take no matter what I did. So after that reset, my mms works fine but now I have another issue I just can't figure out. So here it is...
When I go to messenger to send a mms, like a photo lets say. I attempt to attached a photo from my media (Google Photos) but it doesn't see any of the photos I have in google photos, it only shows me a photo I took about 5 minutes ago when I was doing a test. I'm sure that before this reset I was able to attach any photo I had in Google Photos to a message in messenger, not I can't. What's going on? Ive checked permissions and all is good, all approved. Kinda silly that I can't go to messenger, check the box next to photos within the app, choose photos , and not see anything .
When I go to Google Photos they are all there, but when I check it through messenger, nada... Please help.

If I had to guess... Before you reset, all of the pictures in Google Photos were still on your device. Now that you have reset, you're only seeing pictures that are on your device when you try to send an mms, but you see the old pictures that were backed up before you reset when you go to the Photos app. Does that make sense?

Thats the thing. I'm not seeing any old photos that have been in Google Photos for months, I'm only seeing new photos that Ive taken after the reset
Yea it makes sense, but I had access to all the photos in Google Photos before, now I only have access to photos that you would say are in my camera roll (iPhone term, photos taken with this device). Once again this is only for attachment. If I go to Google Photos , I see everything. Just not from messenger.
If I start in Google Photos , I can send a photo via Messenger. But If I start in messenger, then go to attach a photo, it only shows photos that I've taken with the Nexus (Post Reset), no option to see all my photos from Google Photos.
Try resetting the data in messenger just back up your texts before you do

Make sure you are actually going to google photos. When you click the paperclip in messenger to add, you are in the 'recents' area.
You'll need to click the pic icon panel (should be first one listed), that will take you to the 'recents' picture picker. On that screen click the hamburger menu in the top left, then in the pane that appears, select google photos.
If the above doesnt work, open settings > apps > messenger > permissions and be sure it has access to the appropriate areas.
Yup, I'm clicking photos. And I've checked my permissions
Can someone give me the download link to download xposed installer for lollipop
I'm tapping photos in the menu too... But photos are only showing recents not all photos
Tried clearing app data too , reset permissions. Still no go
Even uninstalled photos and reinstalled
