I am trying to put some Game of Thrones wallpapers on my Note but I can't get these three specific pictures to show on my phone. I can see the thumbnail in gallery but I can't open it. I have tried multiple apps such as Quickpick and ES File explorer and no luck. At first I thought it was a resolution limitation so I re-sized them but no luck. Also cropped, renamed, changed from jpg to png and nothing. I can still put other pictures on there and those are fine it's just these three images that I can't get to show up. Attached is one of said pictures.
EDIT: Running The Collective ROM
EDIT: I know this is something that I can get around by getting a different file but I just think this is weird and would like to know what is causing it.
Can't wait for tonights episode!!!!!!

I've tried multiple apps, gallery, quickpick, wallpaper wizardii etc. The thing is I can't even look at the picture on my phone at all. I downloaded another file and it worked but I can't figure out why this one doesn't work at all.
Resolution
What is the file resolution? I have had issues when trying to view anything over 1680x1050 I dunno why but it's a hit & miss affair.

The original one is 2025x3000. I thought that was the problem but when I changed the resolution to something I know works I still can't get it to work. There must be something in the metadata that is causing the problem. Maybe I'll check it out with Lightroom or Photoshop.
Is this what you are trying to do?
I clicked on the picture pressed save and set as background

Yup. For some reason the picture doesn't work on my phone. Maybe there is something that I have installed that's in conflict with something else.

Has anyone tried this? I downloaded and tried putting a video in there and it didn't go in the vault, yet its not in my gallery. I don't think it deleted, but how would I find the video. Thanks in advance

Might want to look in root explorer to see if video exist under sdcard/DCIM/Vault.
This is where mine defaulted.

Yeah it seems that only pictures that I didn't actually take with my camera showed up there

hide pics/vids
a much better and free app is Quik pic. you can hide exclude and even set a password for hidden files. this app does pics and vids and i have not found anything wrong yet
i use quick pic but the issue i am having is that when i am in the camera app and i cilck the picture in the corner it takes me to the normal gallery. Any way to change that?

As far as I know phones are like computers in many ways, Except for the one feature where basically items can be placed on our Homescreens...
I was wondering if through a app or some other way if it would be possible to place things on our Homescreens? Such as maybe a Document, Picture, or even a App (That's Not Installed) like with a Computer? Instead of always having to Search for those type of things in our Sdcards?
Probably Not Possible... But thinking about it lately, I guess it'd be kind of Handy!
Any feedback is Definitely welcome!

With es file explorer you can long hold on a folder, doc or pic, then choose make shortcut and it'll go to your home screen
Edit... You can probably did it with other file explorers.

Really? Thanks man...
Good to know!
Some pictures come through as videos and some don't. It's really puzzling.
Stop me if I'm wrong but if you put 2 pictures in one text message it shows up as "video" and when you hit play it does a slide show between the two pictures. As oppose if you only have one picture in one text message it shows it as a picture text.
Does that make sense?

if one mms contain two or more images or more than one pages. it will display like video. play button would be show to you.
but only one image will not.:laugh:
We've tested it with one image and the same thing happens.

ARHD 7.3. I went back to the stock app and everything's fine again.
i have same issue, Wanna know some thing i found out. Pinch to zoom in messaging app, can make it smaller. pretty cool.
This should probably go in like a "general Android" forum, but since I don't really stray from the Note 2 forum, I figured I'd ask here.
Is there a way to keep photos from showing up in the Photos/Gallery apps? I have some special pictures () of my wife on my phone that I don't want showing up when I let someone see my phone to show them a random pic. I mean, yeah, I could take them off the phone, but I don't want to lmao.
Or maybe a setting somewhere? I didn't see anything in the Photos app...

I'd just move them to a subfolder and create a .nomedia file in it. This lets the scanner know to skip that folder and it won't show up in gallery.
Ha, works perfectly, thanks! :highfive:
Now, is there an easier way to view them other than removing the file? Are there apps that can view pictures even with that file?
Try Quickpic from play store. You can hide and show folders quickly from the menu button. Also an option to exclude folders. Way better than stock gallery imo.
I keep getting a mystery data file in my gallery app. I try to play the file because it shows up as a video but it doesn't work. I delete it and it eventually comes back. Here is a screenshot of the details of it. Does anyone have a suggestion of where this is coming from and how to get rid of it? Thanks!
I have the same thing. I think it showed up when I made a video available off line on drive. I haven't tried to get rid of it yet so I'm not completely sure on that.

TTS = text to speech, so it is probably related to that.
TTS File
I believe this is caused by a misplaced cache file used by TTS (Text-to_Speech) that is showing up in your gallery. It was probably created if you opened the TTS service under Accessibility in the Settings app. It should be safe to delete but may reappear if TTS is activated, directly or indirectly, again.

I have it set to googles text to speech. There is no way to turn text to speech off. Pretty sure I didn't touch it.

It looks like your gallery is mistaking the .tts file for a video file. Apparently .tts can be a file extension for MPEG-2 video formats. Check out this link for more information.
If you want it to stop showing up (and you are rooted) use a file explorer to put a blank ".nomedia" file in the /storage/external_SD/Android/data/ folder and reboot your phone. Or if I remember right, the G3 has a way to hide media files which you dont want to be seen or want to keep private.
