Looking for a program to change timestamps - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I'm looking for a program to change timestamps files (created, modified, and accessed)
I need it for Android, no for PC.
Problem is that after copy&paste photos and videos, stock gallery order it by created by, and i don't know why, but all videos always are first, and then my photos.
If now i take a photo, and after a video, i see in my stock gallery: last video created, last photo taken, all the other videos, and then older photos
Here you have a screenshot to see an example:

Any idea?
Using Samsung Galaxy S3
Thanks!

I really think this is a valid question and have been wondering this myself.

[Q] Gallery -- how to view favorites?

Hi,
I liked how the gallery app syncs with picasa straight away, but it doesn't give me access to my 'favorites'. My wife uploads our baby pictures to her web albums and she is a 'favorite' so i can easily view pics via pc. it would be great to somehow access her web album by phone. seems like it shouldn't be difficult to do, but i haven't figured it out.
does anyone know whether it can be done? if so, how? if not, can someone recommend a good alternative?
thanks!
Not sure if this will help as I manage my photos on picasaweb a very specific way. Once I've uploaded pics to Dropbox, I go to picasaweb on my laptop, go to my Dropbox album....click on edit....then Organize And Reorder....
From here I select or CTRL select multiple images, and MOVE them to another folder or an existing folder...that folder then appears in the Gallery as a seperate picasa folder. This method can get a bit unwieldly if you have TONS of folders on picasaweb, because they ALL will display in Gallery. But if your careful to organize well this seems as good a way as any..Only takes a minute or so to do unless your moving tons of pictures around....Hope the idea helps..
thanks. that might be worth a try.
i was really hoping for something a bit more automated since my wife usually takes care of the photos. seems duplicative to have two sets of the same web album, but if that's the only way...
thanks again!

[Q] Am I a crazy person? I want to import pictures from my phone and it sucks!

Foreword:
I want to import my pictures from an i9100 into windows. Easy enough, right?
Wrong. It's been a nightmare since ... well my first HTC G1.
What I want:
1. I want the ability to preview thumbnails of the phone's videos and thumbnails before importing.
2. I want the ability to select time intervals between photos to group them nicely.
3. I want the ability to append a filename to said groups so that they're imported in neatly named folders.
4. I want autorotate on import
5. I want to import only from a specific folder (crazy, right?), namely the DCIM folders. I don't care about the gazillion thumbnails scattered on my phone.
Live photo gallery comes close to these requirements but fails on points 1. (no thumbnails for videos on stock roms, but works with cyanogenmod) and 5. (gazillion pictures).
Adobe Lightroom isn't any better and fails on almost all criteria.
Picasa also falls short.
How do you do it? Am I missing something? Any clever app that knows how to exclude .nomedia folders?
Any help appreciated.
Cheers & happy new year.

Hi me from the past. Just a quick reply to tell you that nothing has changed in the future and no one seems to care about importing photos properly. I guess people are just happy doing copy/paste of folders...or have a lot of cloud space to upload full size photos...or just don't look at their million photos. Later me.

S4 photo editor side-by-side feature?

Does anyone know if there is a feature buried somewhere in the default photo editor to join two images together into one side-by-side image? I know there is software out there on the store that can do it, but I like to keep my phone clean of software that I dont need.
Thanks!

Is it possible to view your old SnapChat files?

I want to view my old outbound SnapChap videos and pictures and I am aware that they are stored somewhere on smartphones. I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE.
Is it possible to find these files?
Whenever you receive a snap, Snapchat stores them temporarily in /data/data/com.snapchat.android/cache as jpg.nomedia files. They are able to be accessed if snaps haven't been opened yet (and for some reason some just tend to stay there long after the message has been viewed).
When a Snap is opened, the app deleted that cache of files. So it's likly that if you have already viewed them, they have been deleted.
That may not always be the case (as I managed to dig up some old snaps last night), but it's how the app functions.
There's an app called Snaps that can fetch whatever is in the temp cache folder and save it as jpgs. If you have root it's worth trying to use that app (the apk can be downloaded off Github somewhere).
Mine are in storage/emulated/0/Snapchat

there's an xposed module that enables saving.......
look for it here
Thanks for the replies but what I'm trying to find are the pictures and videos that I have sent to other people. I know they've probably gone for good but it would be nice to find them:good:
Not sure it's possible sorry - Snapchat only caches inbound Snaps so outgoing ones can't be received.
Sorry for misreading your question.

Photo date correction app?

I just recently had to transfer pictures to a PC so I could update a phone. After transferring the files back they don't show up in chronological order in the gallery app due to the file creation date being changed. I guess this is a common problem with android so I'm surprised that it's giving me such a headache to find a solution. The only app I found that does what I'm looking for (Photo Date Correction) doesn't work with any Android version past 3.1.
Does anyone know of a solution to make the file created date to match the EXIF date taken? I'm looking for an android solution; copying 5,202 picture to PC and back was a nightmare that I don't want to repeat any time soon.
Thanks

Ok, so I found a gallery app called F-Stop that works OK in sorting by date taken. It still boggles my mind that stock gallery apps don't have this feature. It's stupid little things like this that keep edging me more and more toward a god forsaken iPhone.
