Turn on camera then hit menu,then settings and go to storage and select sd card as storage instead of internal

is there a way to hide albums??? i used to be able to do it on my EVO but doesn't give me an option to "show/hide" them here...

Try using quickpic app. I can't stand the stock photon gallery.

QuickPic is nice, but I hate that it takes photos a second to render clearly...

^ no longer an issue.

I'm on home base ROM. I personally use the Evo 3D gallery. It's about the only thing I like from it.

You could also use files app to transfer old pics to SD then enable SD with the menu button in camera app as described

Interesting tidbit

So, trying to upload a picture to the forums via the mobile app. When the phone has no SD card or youre set to store pics on the phone it saves as PNG or something like that which wouldn't allow for upload. I had to change in esFile to JPEG. But, now that I have a SD card and am saving to it, ALL my pics have converted and continue to be saved as JPEG. Now uploads are no big deal.

Interesting. Kind of ironic since PNG files will be bigger than JPG.
While it may be useless for upload to XDA, PNG is a better format than JPG. Both use compression but PNG is lossless, JPG is lossy even on its lowest compression setting.
That is what i posted as a problem as well. But you fpund a solution. So wherr do i force the pics to the sd card. Problem here is i have always had an sd card installed.

In the camera settings i believe. Funny thing is though is that the pics i have on the internal memory also are JPEG now. That i dont know how it happened. But regardless it makes posting here that much easier and that's all that matters.... now if i coukd just figure out why those pics have to get "resized " when i send them as MMS....

tried what you did and still cant post a screen shot...its kind of annoying really. I actually was a able to before but all of a sudden i get the file extension error now!?
If using Tapatalk, just click "Tapatalk hosted". The pic will look much better anyway. Haven't used XDA app in a while, but I assume its the same, no?

Gallery problem in CM10

Hey guys, I'm having issues with the gallery in epinter's CM10 rom. I've done some searching and it seems like other people's is working but everytime i open it up it shows no pictures. I've cleared its settings and cache but it still shows nothing. The only reason this bothers me is because it appears that Google+ won't instant upload pictures unless they show up in there. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm using the 8-11 release but it gave me the same issues in the release before that. Also, I'm using internal storage with no sd card if that matters.

Just download quickpic.
I've been using quickpic for several months now, but Google+ uses the gallery app (from what i can tell) to share pictures and detect new pictures for instant upload.

I'm having same issue. Also no music. Tried moving files to external and back, format both cards. Nothing I've tried has worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
MB860 Peace
I have this occasionally, but don't use G+ so it doesn't really bother me as quickpic always works. But to help with the question, I thought I read that when the Media Service is running, things like the Gallery, Maps, and a few other google apps (that use the service) might act like they're hanging, but it's because one of them is using the service. You could try force closing it, or let it finish on its own. Also, try clearing the cache on the media service/gallery/camera/maps. On occasion when the camera stops working on me if I kill the service it sometimes then starts working. This might not be the best option, but something to try.
im having the same problem... apollo dont recognize any music someone can help?
Well my camera has always been laggy on all 4.0+ roms even though some people say it works for them. Anyways, I tried clearing the data and reseting maps/gallery/camera but it still doesn't work. I'm wondering if the media service is actually just borked and I've been misinterpreting what other people have said.

Look for and delete a file named .nomedia from the base of which ever card you have these images or music on. I heard that this was something a ROM Manager update did.

I had the same issues with my pics and music. Looks like you've chosen reboot option from power off menu. For some reason after reboot pics and audio can't be recognized. Try to power off your atrix and trurn it on after few sec, this worked for me, hope will help you too.
Didn't work. Thanks anyway
MB860 Peace
Well I kinda figured out what's going on with the Gallery. It appears that a media scan won't show media already existing on the device. However, if you take a picture it will show the new pic in the gallery correctly. I've also verified that I have no .nomedia files.
I'm guessing that when a photo is taken it explicitly adds an entry to the media table, but there is a problem when a full scan is triggered which makes the gallery blank.

[Q] trying to retrieve a deleted pic

Is this possible?
I've deleted a photo by accident, and i need it back, it's still being used as a contact picture, so it's in the phone somewhere, , any ideas if I can get it back?
I solved this problem by taking screenshot of the contact and cropping image.

I've got this and the thumbnails are not the ones i want, and the ones without thumbnails are in the hundreds.
I don't have a PC, as running a mac, and cropping the pic makes me loses the bottom half of the pic

SD Card?

Hi.
I just found out that the S 4 did not have an SD card built into the slot. So I recently added one. From adding this, I found out that it didn't do much but add SD space. I'm a bit confused coming from the Xperia Play, which was using the SD card a lot more. Could someone explain what the SD Card can do? Thanks in advanced.
Hold movies, music, pictures, and other files.
There are work arounds to load your apps onto it if you really needed to.
But it already held my photos

How did it hold photos if you didn't have one?
The reason they give you a slot for an SD card, is to give you the option for more storage. I'm not sure I understand what you're asking.

Yes. You can now store your photos on the external, and leave room on your internal for apps.
So, there already is a SD card built-in? That's all I want to know
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Your phone came from the factory with 16gb. Roughly 9 is available to you with no external sdcard in the external sd slot. You'll see a folder named /sdcard, even though its your available internal memory. When you "add" your external sdcard, your folder in your filesystem where it mounts will be something like /sdcardext or similar.
So, there is technically no "built in" sdcard, just an internal memory chip, depending on how you look at it....

Photo Organizer that actually moves photo's

Just wondering if anybody knew of a Camera app or organizer app that actually moves pictures instead of just displays them differently via a viewing app?
For example it would be great to have photos automatically go into pre-set albums or quickly and easily reorganize them afterwards etc. I know I can manually move them via file managers but looking for a dedicated app with different options/filters etc.
Anybody know of apps that can do this?
TIA.
Anyone?

Thanks for reply but did you actually properley read the OP?
Could you please give any relevant info about app and how it meets needs because I had a quick look at features and it seems completely different as its a motion picture capture and doesn't mention anything about what I mentioned in first post.
Quickpic.
A very nice gallery app with the option to conveniently move pictures to new or existing albums.

Thanks but as I said I'm looking for something that physically moves and organized them. Quickpic just creates virtual albums like standard gallery.

Media Organizer. Does not move automatically, but it moves photos, creates directories, etc
I know it is a paid app. Not sure if a free one is available, it might.

No my friend.
I use quickpic a lot.
Whenever I move a photo from one album to another, it physically moves the photo file to the desired folder.
I can also create new albums (folders) from within the app.

Thnx for help but I have tested app and it doesn't create real folders on storage it creates virtual folders/albums which isn't what I'm looking for.
[edit] Actually I take that back it does move them but to internal, will look more into app. Thanx.
