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.

Hi,
is there a way to get better pictures for the contacts ?
thanks,
syd...
By using high quality pictures to begin with.........
You dont,t say
But i already assigend hi def to my contacts but after i changed to another rom
the pictures are now crapy again. Also wenn i look the contacts up in google contacts the pictures are very very low def
Reading some reviews of jelly bean, it said it is spose to fix this. By the sounds of it regardless of what image you use for your contact it said currently google converts it to like a 90x90 image (about that anyway). Jb will supposedly use a 720x720 image, so much better.

Download an app called contact sync that allows you to download 512x512 versions of your fb contact images.
Friendcaster has an option to sync the facebook pictures in high res.
anybody know of a non Facebook option? I sync between Outlook and Google contacts and I get the same problem.
use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mots.haxsync&hl=en
high resolution picture and also able to sync fb status update into contact..
Is this what you are looking for?

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 do have the exact same issue, and therefore the highlight videos contains twice the smae things... I unchecked if the "all videos" in the regular gallery view, but I still have the problem

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.
Ok we have all heard this before, but this seems to be G2 specific?
Previously this issue had been fixed google side circa 2012 and hi res images were sharp on stock Android with Nexus 4. Now however they're back to blur on G2. Anyone get the same?
Same here low res

Yup. And I wish you hadn't pointed it out.

Just use haxsync on playstore. Changes your pictures to hi res.

Is there a way to do this without a Facebook account?
For example, my gmail contact photos on the desktop are higher resolution but those same contacts have different pictures *and* lower res on Android. I sync all my contacts, so I'd expect their photos to be synced as well.
Aw, man, this is a bummer. Wonder what the issue is, as this was resolved by Google some time ago...
Back when it was still an issue, I used "contact photo sync" from the play store. It stores your contact photos as a separate picasa/Google+ album, and syncs pictures there. You have to start with hi-res pics on your phone, though. At any rate, it worked well for me and doesn't use Facebook.
Still bummed if this is an issue (my sprint g2 arrives Tuesday)

If you readd the photos it should be fine. I did this and then when I reflashed and synced there wasnt a issue.

This app worked great. You just need to get the settings correct so it updates all your stuff correctly. Thanks.

What do you mean by re-add the photos? Do you mean put the photos onto phone, then setting it for each contact?
Found a solution for Google+ contacts:
Download contacts+, go to the contact whose pic is ugly, tap the pic, choose sync from Google+.
This will fix the image, then you can uninstall contacts+ when ur done.

I decided just to let LG know about this issue in a chat. I loved this part of the exchange:
REP: Unfortunately this will be the resolution that the phone will display after you sync with the account. Since the pictures are not coming directly from the phone but from the server, it will be displayed that way.
me: hmmm, i came from a Galaxy SII, running android 4.1, and it did not have this issue
me: the G2 is on a newer version of android
REP: That's right. This will be the actual phones feature.
me: so this is a "feature" of the G2? to have low res pictures on sync?
Low Res Contact Pics FIX
1) Star All Contacts or only Contacts with Pics
2) Settings > Sync > Sync Now (this is the step that helped me ensure all contacts will sync with high-res photos).
3) Clear Cache/Data in Contacts App & Contacts Storage
4) Go back to Settings > Sync
5) Sync all your contacts back in and you got your high quality pictures
EDIT EDIT:
Make sure you clear cache/data in both Contacts App and Contacts Data. When I only cleared Contacts App, half the photos were still low-res.
When I cleared both apps and then synced, all photos were high quality.
Special thanks to @AndroidStop & @yyz123 for figuring this out & posting steps
