Hey there,
So i am new to the forums and to the Android world in general, just to get that out of the way .
Well i just copied some of the pictures from my PC to the Phone, but when i use the original Gallery App, it doesnt show the photos in the way i ordered them, meaning;
i have put the images according to my own ordering system into folders
ex; Images > Cars , then inside cars , Audi, BMW ,
Images > Nature , then inside that, Animals, Forest .... etc
when i open it in the gallery app, it shows each folder individually, meaning it brings all the folders (Audi, BMW, Animals, Forest) but doesnt put it in the way i put it on the phone, or the way it is stored if i check the files using a filemanager.
So is this normal, and there is no way to fix it? or perhaps there is another Gallery App that wont do that or so?
hope i could get my msg through.
Thanks for the help in advanced.

Hi everybody
first of all i want to say TNX to all the wonderful people here, who make my HD2 experience so much better
i have a good question which i bet other HD2 owners are struggling with:
i keep my mp3 files stored on my SD card.
Q: i can't seem to find a way to set a certain picture to a certain song in the music player (instead of the default picture of the note icon).
what i'v tried up until now:
- i went to My Device\MUSIC and saw the way the original (crappy) song is set with its own picture, and tried to set my mp3 file the same way with it's own picture, but - no luck, still the annoying note icon..
so.. i give up for now, hopefully someone knows the answer to my question here
thanks allot guys
I think I've got the solution:
Settings -> Manage Applications -> Media Storage and choose clear data, this will wipe the media library database from the phone.
you then have to power down and reboot. Now when you open the music app it will rebuild its database.

SORTED! tnx to Wilco!
Wilco you are the man
i didn't find a way to delete the media library database from the phone, the solution presented in the thread is meant to work with another HTC device which has different settings, BUT - the issue was the same -
in order to show a photo instead of the default note icon in the music player htc devices require an image called "folder.jpg" located in every folder which contains mp3's, this is the picture which will be shown as the album picture. so in order to show a different picture for every album the albums must be in different folders.
there is a certain BUG which occures when there is no folder.jpg file in the folder containing the mp3 file and you try to add it later, the device has a DB that records every folder you create and it doesn't remember a folder.jpg file in that particular folder so it will not show a picture even if you add one, i still havn't figured out way to clean that DB, anyway, by simply putting a folder.jpg with your choice of image and changing the folder's name to another one, the device will recognize this as a brand new folder and tada! album picture is presented
hope we helped you guys!
thanks!!
Suppose that into images folder I have several subfolders, say 25. I would like a way to display in Gallery say 2 folders, with the pictures that I desire into each one, without having to physically moving the pictures (because for example each subfolder corresponds to a month, like nokia does: 201201, 201202, etc.)
Any way or market software to do it?
Hoi,
there are severals Gallerys on the market, which can what you want.
The Standard-Gallery app only can display the pics in the way you told.

Well, if there's any, I couldn't find it. The ones I tried are closely similar to the stock gallery viewer.
Any more ideas?
Hi all,
Today I found something really weird on my Android powered phone (Galaxy Note + CM 10.1) - on my external sd card is hidden folder ".faces" in which i found a lot of (really, A LOT OF, approximately 4 thousands) files with no extensions (I mean, only simple file names - for example "346"). When I tried to open it, I figured out that these file was an image, more precisely a part of my private photos taken with my phone. Really, it's very strange for me - why I have folder with ~4k photos of faces cut out from my PRIVATE photo albums? For what? I mean, it's just sick... Why android (Google...) does something like this?
any answers?

Certain apps will keep data on the SD card in cases where a kit of room is needed. The period in front denotes a hidden folder. In my case, I have an ".aptoide" and a ".nogapps" folder for those respective apps. If I had to guess, ".face" folder is keeping data from your camera, which may be set up to use facial detection to focus. Try turning off facial detection, delete that folder and take a few photos with people in them. See if the faces show in that folder again.

It should happen automatically for things like food and landscapes. For people, create folders for persons with their photos so it can learn from it. Eg mum, me, Jane, Mark etc
For me it created most of them auto after 2 days of using the phone
But then it stopped and till now it didn't add any new photo
Also i can't see the role of the fats npu as advertised in this exact scenario ?
Thanks.
I will try as suggested.
Tap album name (eg: Nonamed) and rename
I don't think creating an album and putting the photos of the person you want the AI to learn from is the right thing. We want the AI to scan photos from any folder, and then group faces of the same person together in an pseudo auto-folder filter type thing in Discovery > People, of which you can then go and give that person a name. They are not really folders, but more like search filters.
I have the same problem as above - faces were detected and people "folders" created on the first couple of days using the phone.
Since then, I have added a tonne of old photos stored on my PC from previous phones, but none of the new people in there seem have been detected.
There must be a way to trigger the phone to scan these newly added photos...
Any solution?
RE: Google Photos
I recently got a new budget phone, which I actually like considering the very little $ it cost. It's been flawless except one problem which makes it impossible for me to find any photos. The phone is a Umidigo Power running stock Android 9. The one and only app that is doing what I am about to show is VideoShow which I use frequently and want to keep.
The phone is pulling every single folder which contains a graphic file (hundreds of folders and thousands of thumbnails) and putting them in Google Photos be making it impossible to find my own stuff. I have emailed both phone maker & app maker with no success. Attached is a screenshot of a small percentage of what's showing up.
