Hey guys, sorry but i'm a new Android user, and I seem to be having problems with my gallery.
There seem to be hundreds of images of buttons, Facebook buttons etc appearing in gallery, making out very difficult to navigate through, to find an image.
Does anyone have similar problem? And how do you resolve it?
I'm running on unrooted Droid 2.3.5, with the recent ota update. Images ate stopped on media card.

Sorry but still getting used to Swype. I meant images are stored in media card.

The built-in Gallery App that comes with the phone is pretty basic. Because of the issue you mentioned, I switched to QuickPic.
You can tell it to only show certain directories, and it has several other features that the built-in Gallery is missing. Check it out - it's free and downloaded over 1 million times.
there has got to be something that can fix the default gallery app. I like it, but I hate that the gallery is so damn CLUTTERED. I cant even find a picture i took last week because its showing ALL of my damn cached images...
NOT cool, moto.
im actually using the old gallery app off my moto defy. much better with out the clutter
Thanks for the tip. Will download it asap.

Welcome to the Motorola picture gallery app. Same thing happened on my old Droid X. About 50 icons from my Pharmacist Letter app appear in my gallery.
You can organize pics into albums that you name. It's kind of a workaround. But yes, the gallery app will show any pic stored on the internal phone as well as micro sd card.

Since I'm using QuickPic & MIUI Gallery - can I safely remove the Blue photo gallery?
I did it and no problems original FCs. Just froze it.

Yeah, I always remove the stock gallery. The only problem is, depending on what ROM you use, you might not be able to access your pics from the camera app.

I'm a huge fan of blurred ROMs and have gotten into the habit of replacing the moto gallery with Gallery3D from CM7. Just push the gallery of your choice to system/app and set the permissions for it as the same as everything else in there.

I have an xt910 running on the latest EU version and I am facing a problem. I have some of my contacts linked with their Facebook so their photo shows when they call me. The first time I linked them everything was ok and their pics was shown correctly. But when someone updated their pic it showed it as blanc. Now none of my contacts has a pic displayed regardless if it is a simple Facebook contact or a linked one. I have the latest Facebook app from the market. I think it has something to do with the folder which the Android stores those pics and I want to delete it to see if it will force the update. Does anyone knows where they are stored or has any suggestions about the matter;

It was easy to force update of Facebook contacts on wp7.. Not so easy on Android..
I'm interested in a way to force it besides using an app which is free on goggler play, which messed up my contacts by attaching the wrong image to the wrong person..
Sorry, this is my first Android phone.. Previously on wp7, blackberry and Nokia 5800..

Go into config/aplications/manage apps/... and clear the contacts app cache, this may solve the black pics.
Thanks

I just cleared data for anything with "contacts" in the name, and your contacts will resync.
I have Facebook and friend caster pro installed. Friend caster syncs HQ pics when setup correctly and has kept them up to date for me.

Hi,
Is anybody know how to get hi-resolution picture loaded into google contacts? Everytime I upload a hi-res picture "google" schrimp it so it look like crap if I use as contact photo??
This has asked again and again and Google doesn't seem to have this as a high priority. If you upload the hi res picture directly into the web version of Google Contacts it will convert it to low res. However, if you update the picture directly on your phone it will stay as a high res picture. Unfortunately if you wipe flash your phone you will need to change all your pictures back to hi res since when you resync your contacts it will bring down the low res images again.
Hi,
Yes I know.....I just thought that there maybe was a thirdpart app out that could do the job.............I got nearly 250 contacts.............it is a pain to edit all and update photo, just to do it again afrher flashing!!!!!
Preaching to the choir. I have updated my photos more times than i can count. Thankfully I am on CM9 now and planning to stick with it for a while which should minimize the amount of times I need to do this. I am amazed that one of the selling points of ICS at their launch event was the hi res contact photos but they are not updating Gmail to accept the sync. I suppose they had planned on a greater adoption of Google + but still i should be able to choose the photos I want and keep the synced with the cloud.

Someone on the CM9 thread just brought this up. Haxsync from the market works as an alternative, I've been using it since native syncing was removed.
FYI.

Haxsync is good if you want Facebook photos. I prefer to choose the photos I choose for my photos.

Thank you so much, tried the program out and works like a charm.
So apparently the photo gallery will only show pictures you take with you camera. So where are the other photos like screen shots and saved imaged from texts and the internet. I cannot locate them. Is there a 3rd party photo gallery app we can download to view these photos?

Press the "My Photos" slide in the main gallery. It will take you to album view where you can see screenshots and downloads.
Sorry to hijack is there any way to get rid of the Facebook photos inside the gallery I hate that thanks for the answer if there is one?!

I've read this is a bug that HTC is aware of but have also read that HTC support told a user this is normal operation. If you are rooted you can freeze "Facebook for HTC Sense" which stops the photos from populating your gallery but still leaves a blank "Friends" panel...which I think is better than nothing.

Good to know. I'm having connectivity issues as wellso I may swap to an s4 if it doesnt get better soon.

I have noticed that when using events in gallery, there are duplicate videos and zoes. Does anyone know how to keep the phone from doing this?

Check if the gallery settings is set to display your videos and your "all videos" section, if both are selected you will see them repeated in the gallery.
Gallery - my photos - menu (three dots) - Show/Hide albums
After your there select the albums you want to hide.

I have the same issue and couldn't find an answer yet. The solution from above doesn't work for me neither. I think is related to "Highlight Videos" in a way, because I have only zoey's duplicated. Still trying to find a solution, beside the factory reset.
The problem was automatically solved today, after the update to JB 4.3 & Sense 5.5 came.
