Hello guys,
I'm new to this site so 'Hello Everybody'
I discovered a very annoying thing in my phone's Gallery.Every photo taken or already toke is unclear,blurry.When i click on the photos to enlarge it becomes sharp and clear,everything fine,but as long as i overview the photos all of them are blurry.Even photos taken with another Camera program. I attach 3 Screenshots to show what i exactly talking about.
Please help me guys
They're just thumbnails. As long as the pictures show correctly when you view the full picture, it's perfectly normal.
Oh, and for the next time, ask questions in the Q&A forum. It's there for a reason, you know.

Thank you very much for the fast reply and sorry for posting to the wrong place.
But anyway this can be caused because of the os? Bug or somethin? Is there any chance the new 4.2.2 update fixes this? because i had a G note before the S3 and i didnt met this blurry thumbnail thing?
i just checked my gallery and my thumbnails are almost as clear as the enlarged pic,. know this sounds dumb but have you tried setting another system font

You mean Settings/Display/Font Style? If you mean this yes i've changed it to Choco cooky,but i changed back to default and no change.
Btw i have downloaded QuickPick from Google store and the thumbnails are clear.I don't understand this..

Use a file explorer that can show hidden files, then go to sdcard/DCIM/ and delete the .thumbnails folder... reboot, then open the gallery - the thumbnails will then all be rebuilt. Might take a while depending on how many photos you have.
Then see if they're still blurry!

What ROM you using? Have you installed any gallery mods (like maybe the one from the S4 apps)?
Try cleaning your camera lens, lol.

On this week i rooted the phone with odin for avast anti thieft then i reinstalled the stock 4.1.2 with Kies.Device status is normal.Can this cause the problem?Personally i don't think this maneuver can affect the Gallery thumbnails,but i'm far away from a phone expert.

Problem resolved . I have been unrooted the phone. Now it's back to stock firmware with valid warranty. Blurry images has been disappeared from the Gallery. Thanks for the replys anyway
Maybe it'll sound stupid, but I don't seem to find a way. It only lets me choose between system wallpapers, not from the gallery.
I have root if needed. Any help will be appreciated.

Hmm, not sure what the problem is. When I go to set wallpaper on the lockscreen it does let me pick from the gallery. You do have pictures in your gallery right? Just guessing. I am rooted. I also have Dropbox activated and when I pick gallery I see photos from Dropbox listed since I have not taken pictures with the Tab 4 yet.

I can only choose between "Wallpapers" and "Travel Wallpapers". So desperate.
I recently overcame this problem using the 'xposed lockscreen wallpaper' module. Not sure if i got it through here (xda app) or from the xposed installer dowload section.

all my photos, from Whatsapp, Telegram, downloaded from Chrome, Screenshots, GIF... etc etc..
all were inside the camera roll in the Camera.apk... this is super annoying.. any help?
You can put a .nomedia file in the folders you don't want to see in the gallery, as this article shows:

Thank you for the link, but it is not working!
In the camera app, the bottom right button will show the last image or video saved to the gallery. On the S6 Edge (and I think on Marshmallow), that button in the camera app used to show the pics taken by camera only. Is there a way now to do the same?
Thanks

I have the same problem, and I haven't found a solution yet
Use Google photos instead of "gallery".
But "gallery" will still be default app in the camera app.
The problem is with the camera app, not the gallery by itself. I think the camera app is linked to the wrong folder.
Well, today I talked with Samsung support and they told me to restore to factory settings, which I won't do because it came like this (I bought it 5 days ago).
This is too annoying, and I think we will have to live with it, because Samsung doesn't know how to fix it and doesn't seems to care about it neither.
In Gallery, choose Albums instead of Pictures. From there if you select Camera, then only your camera pics will display.

The problem isn't the gallery, is the camera app. When you check a photo that you just take (with the icon in the bottom right corner of the camera) and then you start looking the previous pictures, it'll be mixed with whatsapp, downloads and any other image you have in your phone, which doesn't make any sense.
The gallery by itself is ok.

No. it's the gallery app.
I'll explain. The camera app simply takes you to the Gallery app in an in-app shortcut.
You can get the same "bug" if you open the Gallery from your app drawer and go to "pictures " tab which will feature all the pictures on your device, including whatsapp or downloaded media.
So the Camera app simply takes you to the Gallery but to the wrong tab.
I disabled the Gallery app entirety and so the shortcut does not work for me - hitting it does nothing. If I want to see pictures taken with the camera while ignkring other media files i simply use Google Photos.
Why Google Photos specifically? It has the ability to create a link to Google Photos inside of Camera app.

Well, that's why I think it's a camera problem, it has the wrong shortcut.
But anyways, how did you disable the gallery? When I try the button is greyed and I can't do it. I'm using Google photos as a default viewer, but doesn't work within the camera. Do you have to root the phone?
Edited: I just found how to do it in the Google photo settings.

Nah no root required.
Use BK package disabler. You can disable any app including system apps with it. It uses Knox to have root like capabilities.
Thanks, I'll try with bk package disabler.
Any Update on this issue?
Did Samsung solve this issue yet? it is super annoying to see all photos from the camera roll viewer in camera app. Why should I see screenshots I've taken or a stupid Whatsapp pic sent by someone, when I'm viewing photos taken by camera, from the camera app?
Hi guys,
friend of mine got a Mi a1 but noticed a problem on Messenger. Ususally when you go in the picture settings folder in the settings menu there should be an option on top to auto save received pics.
But the option seems missing. Only the option to auto save taken pics shows. Had several updates of the app already and even installed the beta version but the option is never showing up. App permissions for storage and camera are granted. Anybody facing the same issue? Never experienced that on another phone before.
Best regards
This ?

Yep, the top option isn't there in my friends phone. Maybe better to contact facebook then since it isn't a device specific problem
Do you have an additional gallery installed? Or just use the google photos app?

No additional gallery, and no permissions granted, maybe there is some setting in facebook related to this

Got it working but it's not the complete feature i think. I clicked a photo with motion enabled using the P3 camera port. It showed me the timeline but it didn't recommend any top shot yet. Also, this doesn't work on smartbursts ( I thought Top Shot will replace Smartburst ).

On Pie, Havoc ROM, also using cstarks latest.
It works but it is not the latest version of photo, is there any chance for an updated version?
The resolution is very very low
Pixel 3 top shot pics are 1 mb, this one here is around 250 kb!! Is there a way to get atleast 1mb photos from top shot on pixel 2??

Yes
Can confirm working on Pixel 1. I was only about to get 2 recommended shots on one very recent picture taken using the Pixel 3 camera app. So that might have something to do with the fact that none of my old ones have any recommended shots. Also, the recommended shots are HDR enabled and ~700kb.
