Hello!
I have copied a lot of photos on my phone which I realized the photos have changed their dates to the date and time I copied them on the phone and they are just randomly sorted in the gallery app. Is there a way to sort them by filename? I don't want any 3rd party gallery app. It's kind of frustrating in 2018 you can't sort your photos in your gallery.
Thank you.

Lately my gallery has been acting crazy. It doesn't display all of my pictures. It takes the latest picture taken with the camera and replaces all of my other pictures with that image. So I have a bunch of copies of that one image. Then when I try to delete one, it FC's.
Any ideas?
I'm running Liberty 1.5 btw...
I've had something like that happen too. When I would view a picture in one folder it would display a different one. To fix it I made more folders and spread out my pics like that. Please note I have A LOT of pictures
This may seem like a stupid solution, but have you tried a reboot? I had the gallery act up on me a few times and a reboot usually did the trick. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
i know with mine the app touchdown stores my corp email .jpg and it causes the gallery to not open. so i have to bros we and del the image files. which this is a pain because every email i get someone has that damn pic stored in there sig so its a constant battle.
Sometimes the database the Gallery uses gets corrupt where it displays wonky pics or doesn't even open. To rebuild the database, go to Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, All tab. Select the Gallery app and then select Clear Data. Repeat for the Media Storage app. Then reboot your phone. It will then scan your phone for pics and video and rebuild the database. It may take a while if you have lots of pics.

hi guys, I thought'd I'd share a tip with everybody.
I take tons of pictures and I keep everything, so my photo directory was upwards of 800 pictures at one point, when I was still using my X10.
I started moving my photos into separate directories, but that are still detected by the Gallery app.
So I keep my most recent photos in ..\DCIM\100ANDRO\ and then keep other photos organized in:
..\DCIM\2010 (X10)
..\DCIM\2011 01 to 03 (X10)
..\DCIM\2011 04 to 06 (X10)
..\DCIM\2011 07 to 08 (X10)
..\DCIM\2011 09 to 12 (Arc)
Gallery will still be able to view the subfolders, but this way, you won't have more than 100 or 200 per folder, which Gallery will handle quite easily.
If you take more pictures than that, just separate into smaller month increments, but I suspect you'll just run out of room
The naming structure is so that the directories stay in chronological order, but feel free to use your own!
I organise into folders too, but I also use quickpic instead of stock gallery.

Sorry to ask in this thread but what's the default location for Pictures, Music and Videos on the arc?
For some reason, it's not detecting my music or videos but there are folders for the same. I was just wondering if I altered the names of the folders by accident.
For me the default locations are:
Images (stock):
/sdcard/image
Images (camera photos & vids):
/sdcard/DCIM/100ANDRO
Music:
/sdcard/music
That's what it is on mine - hope this is what you were after
Thanks. That's exactly what I was asking for.
Everything seems correct on my SD card but neither images seem to be detected in the gallery nor music in the music player.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: Camera images do turn up in the gallery. Fb pictures are visible; just not the regular pictures.

Try clearing data in settings and if that fails pop out the battery for 10 seconds.
Never thought of that. Thanks.
I take alot of pictures aswell, almost hit the 1000 mark

Happened with mine when I updated it to .145.
I backed up everything, hit factory rest and restored the phone using PCC.
That solved it for me.
I recently reset my phone and re added all my photos from my computer back into my Camera folder, the issue is that on my phone the picture order in which the pictures were taken are all messed up i have year old photos as my most recent and my recent photos scattered all over, Im using Cloudy 2..2 i tried to sort by dates on 2 different gallery apps but it did not help has anyone come across the problem before or knows of an fix?
I'm hoping someone can help me.
For no explainable reason on my part, all my photos have disappeared. I can not see any photos in gallery or Google photos. I can however located photos that I took with my camera in DCIM Folder, however these don't show up in either photo app. I have tried restating and clearing gallery cache etc I have even tried restoring using smart switch to an earlier backup however the problem still exists.
Any clues what's going on?
Update: for some odd reason my phone was filled with ".nomedia" files. I deleted them all, restarted my phone and ran an app called "Media Re.Scan" and they magically reappeared. However only camera photos have reappeared. Other media has not, but I'm not sure they were visible to begin with. I would really appreciate if someone has a theory for this.
Update 2: Don't delete all .nomedia files as this will cause all jpeg files to show up in your gallery including system files and apps etc that have images. Instead only delete .nomedia files found in your photos folder and folders you want to appear in gallery etc. Make sure show hidden files is selected to find these files in the first place. I used ES file Explorer Pro.

seeing the same problem in s8
i just got samsung s8 recently. i am new to the samsung phone but i am seeing the exact same problem. i see pictures i took from earlier today and a few fays ago just magically disapper. I have tried multiple things like deleting the cache, data, using quick pro, cut and paste the dscim in a new folder, deleting the .nomedia but i CANNOT make those missing pictures reappear anywhere. Anyone else who ran into this and maybe have fixed the problem?
I'm having the same problem on my S8...taking new pics & downloading pics/gifs then they disappear out of nowhere the next day or so. Just started happening after the last software update (4/3/18). Not sure why or how to recover them. I've had my phone since April 2017 & it's never done this before.
Photos corrupted
Hi guys,
sorry for resuming this post.
Happened this summer and never before on my SM-G935F ITV smartphone, never rooted and stock rom (Android 8).
I loose all the latest photos, or better they are on the card but the thumbnails are grey, I tried to open them with an hex editor and I discovered they are all filled by 0x0.
I used to save them directly on a SD from Huawei 256Gb, scanned and works perfectly.
The only dubt I have is the number of photos saved into the dcim folder, they are over 2048...magic number!
Once I moved the photos in another folder I can take the photos again as usual...
It's just to know if I discovered a bug or what...
Any one with this issue?
Thanks, Pier
Hello,
I have a problem with synchronize photos in Samsung Gallery and Google Photos. Have official Android 10 (made factory reset after update).
If I shot some photo, it's in Samsung Gallery, after some seconds it appears in Google Photos. It's ok. But if I delete some photo/video from Google Photos app, it appears back from trash after some seconds and photo/video is still in Samsung Gallery.
I tried to clear cache of Google Photos and stock Gallery, didn't help it.
In android 9 if I deleted photo from Google Photos, it automatically deleted from Samsung Gallery too.
Any fix please? Any person with the same problem?

I have the same issue, deleted photos from Google Photos 3 times before they succeeded to finally go.
I'm using Files by Google now to delete anything I definitely want gone.
This is what I get after deleting from Google Photos then going to Gallery.
Tried Files by Google. If I delete photo in Google Photos, I see it's not in Files. But it still shows in gallery. There is corrupted thumbnail.
Hope it will be fixed soon.
Anybody with this problem too?
Same problem for me
I have the same problem on my Galaxy S10 after upgrading to Android 10.
I noticed a difference between when photos are stored on the local storage versus stored on an SD card. When the photo was originally stored on an SD card when I deleted from Google photos it wasn't deleted on the SD card, and simply reappears in Google photos few seconds later.
However when the photo was originally stalled on the phone's local storage when I deleted it from Google photos it was partially deleted from my phone meaning I still saw it is a thumbnail in my gallery app but when clicking it I got the annoying exclamation mark.
So the problem appears to be in the delete interface between Google photos app and the Samsung storage / SD card on Android 10.
HELP US GOOGLE!!!
I have 8 wallpaper backgrounds which are on my sd card.
I have deleted them at least a dozen times in Google Photos and Samsung Gallery and emptied the bin. But they keep respawning like a friggen COD player.
I confirm this bug on S10e. Please do report both to Samsung (in Samsung Members app) and Google (Google Photo App) to raise awareness.
In Samsung Gallery I somehow managed to get a side bar down the left showing album's and have no idea how i did it or how to remove it
I have no clue how to undo the album's down the left

Thankyou so much, it was driving me insane. Its a good feature but i prefer full screen.
Another Google Photos Bug.
Just said i could free up 234mb deleting photos from the device as they are backed up to Google Storage. However when i selected it, it then said only 6.11mb were freed.
Just received Jan update for my S10+. There is still problem with deleting photos..
Installed update of Google Photos now.
Seems deleting photos work fine (photos not appear again).
In Samsung gallery are still thumbnails of deleted photos.
Hi all,
today I moved all my photos/videos back to internal storage. Changed default storage in camera to internal storage.
Tried to make some photos, then deleted in Google Photos.
There are thumbs in Samsung Gallery. After some seconds/minutes, I open photo in gallery and same result, only exclamation mark.
So I think there is no problem with SD card permissions, there is a problem with google photos app. Received about 3 updates from the date I created this topic, still same result.
scan gone
I have the same problem on my s10+. also the scan feature in camera is no longer there. I used that alot. scan in documents 1 2 3 . now gone?? anyone else?
i'm unlocked on verizon
wondering if i should just go back to android 9.
would rather not start messing with the phone like i use to.. stock was nice.
Today received new update of Google Pgotos. Deleting photos work percet finally.
So everything works fine again.
I got the solution, I just clear data of my google photo app and also the gallary app!! And opened it again!! And it worked like a charm!!
