Problem with Facebook messenger - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

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

Ive GOT It! BEEEM its nice but how to...

Its fast its nice but how can I do following:
Install programs only on sd card for saving internal memory?
stop the sound of fotocam by shooting a foto?
enable led on recording videos?
thx
To Put the Apps on the SD Card you must Root your Nexus.
To stop the sound of the Camera you can disable the sound in your settings by pressing menu.
Enable the LED during recording may require root as well. I think thats the only way, possibly with Nexus Torch. Not sure though.

To stop the shutter noise just place your phone on silent or vibrate
ok to set on vibrate is a way but i would like to unenable it...
two more issues, how can i use adove flash f.e. i would like to view the desktop youtube site version but it wont work... is there a way like its shown in some presetation videos?
is there any software out for sharing the connection (wlan or 3g) with a windwos computer, my nexus one would became a wlanstick?
I've heard Camera FX on the market has the ability to turn off the sound. Not sure, but someone mentioned that.
Dolphin browser will allow you to set yourself as a "desktop" which should make all website's show up as they normally would on a computer, but I don't know if youtube would work like this. It might require flash update that we will get shortly.
Eitherway, your youtube thing will be fixed soon.

You could program your own widget, or find one that suits your needs better in the market. There isn't an easy way to change them otherwise.

[Q] Location not correct in Gallery app

Hi,
I've got an issue: the location (street name) is not showing correctly in the Gallery app. GPS coordinates are correct because if I open the same picture in Quick pic then I get the correct address (even up to house number when I'm at home).
In Gallery app, there's an offset of a few hundred meters. I'm having this issue on several Rom versions already (GoldenEye, now on latest version).
There's definitely nothing wrong with GPS, only the app is acting weird.
Any solution for this? Don't tell me clear data, because I tried that.
I've found this for S5 but there's no solution.
Sorry if it's not a solution, but it's possible it's a bug in Sammy's Gallery app. Why can't you just use Quickpic?
Yes, I can use Quickpic but I like the features of Gallery. Strange that almost no one reports this issue? Am I unlucky to be one of few people who suffer from this? Or does everybody use Quick pic?

Question about updated Gallery app

Not sure if this is the right place to ask or maybe move it to the apps section if need be. Ever since I got the updated Gallery app through August update all my pictures seem to be imported automatically to it, what exactly do I mean by this? Whenever I launch the Camera app and scroll through my pictures through the app it shows all recent pictures on my phone, before the update it would only show pictures/videos taken through the camera app, I would like to keep it that way but haven't managed to revert it, any clues?
Wish I could answer, just installed the update and it's a disaster, what were they thinking, tiny thumbnails and you can't read the album names! Dark grey font on a black background... DOH
Sent from my S7 Edge
If you pinch out on the album view it will give you near enough the same view as before, only problem I have, as already stated, is the black text on dark grey background, although that's probably the themes fault.

So no one else lost the feature of scrolling through the in-app camera gallery and just having content taken with the camera? cause I really hate having to go through all my stuff there to find a picture I took.

No mine still works fine, although if I'm using the camera from the lock screen it will only let me scroll through the pictures I've just taken, not previous ones.

I wonder how I messed it all up lol. I just tried that way, running the app from the lockscreen and I still get every single picture on my phone.
Any Luck?
I am facing exactly the same issue.
All my screenshots, whatsapp, gallery pics and everything are populated in the gallery when I access through camera. This is highly annoying.
Earlier it was only camera pictures which were shown, is there anyway to fix this? Like installing the previous version or changing the access folder only to camera?

I found no solution, had to just deal with it. And I tried to somehow set the app to only access the Camera pictures when browsing through the camera app but no such luck.
Is this issue without any resolution yet? I know this have been posted a few months ago, I've searched everywhere but I didn't find any solution, did anyone else get some more luck than me?

Photos mixing up in Camera.apk and Gallery.

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?

Can't open gallery through Camera

Hi guys,
i installed a nice galery app, its called "simple galery" from "simple mobile tools". This galery ist very nice, simple and without adds and i want to keep/useing it.
Now the Problem:
On official Oreo update, If i use the Camera, you see at the bottom on the right sight the last taken Picture in a circle. Normaly, if you tap on that, the galery app should open but it doesn't. Nothing happened...
On Android 7 there wasn't any problems.
Is there any option to choose this galery app as default?
Thanks

Hello.
I too would like to put another photo gallery application by default but it's impossible. I do not want to use Google Photo via the camera! If I disable Google Photo, the button no longer works via the photo application, it does not ask which photo gallery application I want to open!
