Hi,
Did a bit of a search through the threads but couldn't find anything.
Running win 7 ultimate 64bit.
When you connect the S3 to windows and browse the files on the card and phone, by viewing the folder DCIM it doesn't display thumbnails or the pictures at all for that matter, it just has the icons for pictures and videos, no matter what display method I choose. Is there a way of setting this up that it will show the thumbnails so I easily find and delete or move the pictures without individually previewing or opening them?
Cheers.

I saw that myself too when I was deleting a lot of pictures from modding. I remember that some time ago it displayed thumbnails whereas now they are gone. Windows 8 64bit here with ELK4 4.1.2 version (that time), now ELKC. Hence also interested if anyone knows how to fix.

I have a problem.... i loaded Android and it is good, a couple of cons but all great but on return to windows mobile i found that my pictures on the pic tab had 99 photos... All i could see was android pictures etc. these pictures were not photos that i tould but the thumbnails from android. On my sd card i have a DCIM folder and in there i have my windows mobile pictures that i have taken. Also in the there is a folder called .thumbnails
I new this must come from android beacuse in the root of the sd card is a . files...
Anyway, i moved this thumbnail folder to the root of sd and started android. everything was as it is... i turn off then on, loading windows.... and check photos tab... still there...look in file explorer... it created it self a new one.
The problem i have is that it clogs it up and slows it down while i am scrolling through for a picture.
IS there any way to fix it?

Android 2.2 (if needed)

If is it would be great. If not... there's an idea
hi, i encountered the same issue, still figuring how to fix it too...
now all in the picture tab on hd2 wm sense, are the thumbnail pics from the android.
initially, i thought the sdcard was corrupt, but i found the .thumbnail folder in the dcim folder on the sdcard... and all the photos are still intact.
anyone can help?
Using HTC Album, browse to the folder you wish to see as your default and then from the Menu within HTC Album, set it to be default view in Sense(not sure of exact wording or menu order but I know this is possible as I've done it.
thanks for the reply, base on your reply, i managed to search for another solution,
http://www.jayceooi.com/2010/02/08/how-to-hide-folders-with-pictures-from-htc-album/
the above link shows how to hide folders within the dcim folder from htc ablum
both which i had not try, will try both later when i'm back in winmo.
hope either one solves the issue.

well using what you have told me i have found the steps you are talking about...
you go to htc sense picture tab and press album. from there you press albums on the left.
it then comes up with a list of pictures folders etc, choose the folder you want (if you had it like me it would be 100media . then click on it.... choose menu a click use this album as favourite...etc.
there you go no android pics clotting up your htc
if you go through the "leo tips and tweaks" thread it will give you the reg entrys to ignore certain folders from the htc album......
i usually just delete that folder once a week to stop it building up and up...
I really wanted to browse my pics stored on Picasa and I'm pretty fond of the Google Gallery app (I know there are others out there).
So I installed this from Astro and lo and behold it worked on the Nook Color! Enjoy!

After installation, go to your GMAIL application and select Settings > Accounts. Add a new google account, then select your current gmail account (re-add it) or select from the google account associated with Picasa.
Great Tip dascud!

Worked for me too - thanks for the tip!
Worked for me too. However, I could not get my picasa albums to sync initially.
I had to go to my GMAIL app and add my (same) account again which gave me the option to sync my picasa albums and everything works fine now.
I'm lost on the Nook Color and photo viewing, not to mention videos.
I have tried just about every app I can think, researched until I'm blue in the face, but no matter what I do, if I drop 80 photos taken by your typical-everyday camera into a directory, and copy this directory to the mounted micro-SD card, this device nearly has a stroke just creating thumbnails.
At this point, the Gallery app mentioned in this thread shows the grid of photos, and about 10 of 80 actually have a thumbnail that was created, the other 70 thumbnails on the grid turned from gray to black while the application struggled to create the thumbnails.
With 32 GB of storage space, there's no way I could manage hundreds (or thousands) of photos. I must be doing something wrong here, so much storage space, no way to use it.
Cool.. with it could also see my uPnP server
works great on my NC, thanks a lot!

I've been having problems with unresized images. The resized ones display fine. I'll do a batch resize to see if that works for my photos.
Any help or new information would be much appreciated. There are a couple of apps out there that can take care of the video, but I just can't locate anything else that can deal with photos.
This is frustrating, as I purchased this device specifically over other devices that don't allow for removable storage, but what good is 32 GB of data if you can't sort it and find stuff properly?
See this thread for a really fantastic photo app.

Time to get more pics on my NC.
Check out Picasa Tool Pro. It's really nice and free

OMG that fixed my calendar too. I could hug you right now.

What did you change to allow this? I rooted with Auto Nooter and everytime I try to install an app from Astro I get the following message: "Install Blocked"
I also tried with Root Explorer and still nothing. I am sure I am missing something very easy. Thanks in advance

I wish I could download ALL of my Picasa images to my Nook.. But I have yet to find anything that'll do it. A few apps will let me download individual pictures, but I can't suck down the whole thing.
Picasa Tool Pro, as mentioned, is a nice tool, but as far as I can tell it has a batch uploader but not downloader. Although I'm going to check it out for the upload facility, pictures I take on my Nexus One I'd like to make to Picasa.
Honestly I still haven't figured out a halfway sane method of keeping my N1 and NC in sync.
How do I find the cached images for recieved pics in yahoo messenger?
I checked everything on my SD card, but when I use root explorer to pull for .jpg on the phone, i get hundreds if not thousands of hits with no way to preview other than one at a time. I hope there is an easier way.
I downloaded several pics, but didnt think to change the names...they each came through at different times and were all called "image" so i guess they were over written, but isnt there a cached image of every picture viewed whether I saved them or not?
Thanks for your help.
Bump...
No suggestions?
I have a few questions I hope somebody can shed some light on regarding images and videos...
Problem 1 - Dropbox Image Resolution
Firstly, it seems that Dropbox auto-uploads scales down the photos? Is there a way to stop this?
I noticed because my images are always sideways because of how I hold my phone taking pics, but then in my dropbox folder they were all portrait, so I checked image resolution and they are indeed smaller?
Problem 2 - Photo distortion/corruption from Windows File Transfers
Also, when copying photos from the phone to computer via USB (MTP), many of the pictures become corrupted. By corrupted I mean really strange lines across the photos and colour distortions. The actual pictures taken are fine because on the phone display in the Gallery they show perfectly. It is just when copying to PC they seem to corrupt. The photos are a mixture of some on the memory card and some on the internal storage and the problem happens with both..
This has happened to me on random photos (I transferred 150 and probably 30 were corrupt). I have tried this on two computers, one that has Kies installed and the Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit installed, and another computer that has no drivers installed apart from the ones Windows installs.
The file transfers were using Windows Explorer. I also tried with Kies and had the same problem.
Importantly: When trying a second or third time to copy the corrupt files, they copy fine and the problem disappears.
I noticed the Dropbox problem because I thought, well the photos are already uploaded so I can just copy from there without any photo problems, but they were all smaller resolution?
Problem 3 - HD Video Stutters
And my final problem. I copied a video taken on the phone to the PC (taken at 1080 full HD) it is a couple of minutes long in broad daylight. When viewing on the phone, quality is perfect. However when playing on the laptop (Core i5, 4GB RAM, Sony Vaio) the video has some stutters and distortion/corrupt bits.. it seems to play fine for a few seconds and then the video goes all distorted, then fine, then more distortion?
The problem appears on videos saved both on the phone internal storage, and on videos saved to memory card (class 6 SanDisk microSD)..
I have plenty of space and RAM available on the phone, it is only a week old, I have setCPU set to use Lazy CPU governor, using SIO scheduler, and I have dynamic hotplug disabled and all 4 cores running. Phone is rooted, with CWM touch..
Has anyone faced a similar problem or have any suggestions? What is the optimum way to transfer my photos to computer? Should I store photos and videos on internal storage or on the memory card?
Thanks
mine is like this, it should be 2mb and its only 333kb

only i did cut and paste and now left with nothing. is there way to recover it ?
That is a perfect example of what happens to my photos...
As for recovering, not too sure. NEVER CUT things you don't want to lose. COPY then delete after.

Never had any corruption at all ever .
You may have something else working in the background during copy ????

Do you mean working in the background on the phone or the laptop?
I was transferring some background pics to my phone last night and the connection kept dropping and files became corrupt, many many files became corrupt and unusable..
This happens in both MTP mode and the "Camera mode"..
I don't understand what is going wrong.. My phone is pretty much stock apart from my NEAK kernel.. I don't have any apps using the USB..
Don't know why the files get corrupted the first couple of times you transfer the, but for automatic transfer to Dropbox, Google, and my web domain I use FolderSync. Seems to do the job without compressing any pics/videos.

Thanks I will use that app for dropbox sync, looks awesome!
I just checked and there is no compression of my Dropbox Camera Upload syncs at all. Maybe it's your ISP? Are you using 3G to do this? Orange compress and alter the quality of images downloaded on webpages over 3G. I know because I've only just switched to Three and Orange used to do this all the time to all 3G connections.

You are 100% sure that your photos taken at 8MP remain at 8MP after using Dropbox Camera-Upload option?
Standard dropbox upload should remain at 8MP, but the camera-upload function that automatically uploads photos as you take them, that compresses them I think?
Do you experience any of the USB problems I ask about?
Folks,
I have been using a few of the Jellybean ROMs and ever since I have had trouble downloading pictures from the Phone to the camera. With the ICS roms my PC would assign them driver letters. But with each Jellybean rom I tried they dont show up as drive letters. They show up and I can browser to them. However my camer's DCIM is empty (Computer\SAMSUNG-SGH-I717\Internal storage\DCIM\Camera)
Even thought I have about 150 pictures in it. When i double check using the built in gallery app on my phone they are all there. But for the life of me I can not figure out why I can no longer see them in Window Explorer. I thought about importing them... But I have an SD card with about 1000s hi res backgrounds and i do NOT want to re import them.
Clearing the media cache and rebooting seemed to fix this (all pictures are now visible).
