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?

Google Camera problems.

Hi everyone,
I hope this is the right section for this kind of questions.
Anyway, I'd like to know if someone can help me.
I'm absolutely not able of getting Google Camera to work.
I tried different version, I think the problem is caused by the fact that our phone has a SD801...
But I have no idea how to solve it.
Camera just crash as soon as I open it.
Thanks to everyone!
Lorenzo Benevento.

Not just coz soc is sd801
It is arm based
Google camera is nowadays built for arm64 architecture

And which version would work?
If there is one obviously!

The versions which came with nexus 6 would work
That will be around v3

I tried but I can't downgrade. How come? It shows "corrupted package".

i use Google camera 2.7 in my zuk z1

I downgraded to 2.7.010, It works and connect to camera but I'm unable of taking videos!
It start recording but when I tap on the stop icon it freezes and the only thing that I can do is to reboot the phone. Or close the app (but camera would be busy, so no tourch for example or no other photos until the next reboot).
magnet1215 are you able to take videos?

Which version are you using exactly?

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7vk4UhGJqI0dEJWYlhlSDNwdWc/view?usp=drivesdk
Try this snapdragon camera. It will crash on first pic taken, first video taken, first slow or fast motion video. But honestly I tried lot of camera apps and this is best one of all.

Problem with Facebook messenger

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

I'll have a look into it, thanks.

The picture is not saved even after clicking!

The default camera app is pretty good. However, when I click a pic, it shows up in the down left corner but when I click that, it doesnt shows up in the gallery. Its so frustrating! Due to this, I am forced to take two clicks in the camera. What could be the issue for such a bug? Shall I download another camera app? Which is the best if I want one? I have also noticed a bad battery drain! The 5000 mah doesnt lives up to its hype. Hope the future OTAs will solve it. Waiting for Pie now...

Install another 'Gallery' app, example 1) Foto gallery 2) Quickpic .. etc
Set the 3rd party gallery app as default. Click a pic from your stock Cam and then check if the image is being saved and previewed/opened in the 3rd party gallery app.
Pie update will come by the end of this quarter 2018, first priority Asus Zenfone 5Z then Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1.

I am using the "Foto Gallery" already. Dont like the Quickpic much. And Foto Gallery is set as default as well. The moment I click a pic, it shows up in the preview circle but it never shows up in the gallery. It became frustrating gradually. I am using another camera app called "Camera MX" now. It solves the problem for now. I wonder what causes such an issue. Hope the Pie update will solve all this. Especially the battery drain.
Thanks a lot for your reply. Hope things will be better soon!

Wait a minute! I just installed "Quickpic" and set that as default and it works!! So may be it was the Foto Gallery's issue. I never liked Quickpic much but guess I will have to use that for now. All my clicked pics are easily opened from the preview circle.
Thanks again buddy! I never expected this to be a gallery's issue. Back to the original camera app now. Phew!

Glad it worked. Simple troubleshooting
You could now try re-installing Foto gallery app, set it to default gallery app and check if it's still giving the same problem or not. If problem is resolved then you can continue using Foto gallery and uninstall Quickpic (as u said u aren't fond of).
If the problem still persists with Foto gallery app then I guess u need to stick with Quickpic for a while.
Btw, I'm using Foto gallery app and it works fine on my Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1.

Would have liked to use default camera app
The suggestion of using another camera app is valid but the fact that I cannot use beauty mode and bokeh effect in camera mx makes me feel bad about not being able to use the default camera app. I just got my pro m2 yesterday and m facing this bug due to the update. Very disappointing!!!

I am also same problem so how can solve this problem?

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??

Can you port pixel visual core service from Pixel 3?

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.
