[Q] Hate the Gallery app! - AT&T HTC One (M7)

Every time I open the Gallery app, EVERYTHING shows up from Facebook and overloads everything. I have tried for a while to figure out how to disable Facebook from uploading into my gallery. Has anyone figured it out?

yea i have to say the gallery app is pretty bad

I agree....love the phone but there's little annoyances like this that bothers me too....I personally haven't been too impressed with the photos ive taken either...but it could just be me

If you use the album view you don't have to deal with it, but then you don't get the live zoes. I've also only been able to find my screenshots in the album view for some reason.

Music stops minutes after screen turns off

I don't understand why 2 minutes aprox the screen turns off.... the music stops.
I already verified In task manager the music application is not in auto-end list.
Any help?

i have the same problem.
So I had this problem for a while. I read on a different forum that there's a bug that links the gallery app to the music app.
Therefore, you need to make sure the gallery app is not under auto kill. Make sure you enable viewing of native apps.

Joelszs,
It works! Thanks.
I removed gallery from autoend list and then the music doesn't stop.
People this is the right solution!

This is awesome I was just about to post about this problem when I saw this. I thought it was something I had frozen in the system apps, glad I don't have to test each application individually that would've been a pain.
Glad I could save you the pain I had. That's why its so important we keep the atrix forums alive!

Spoke too soon, that didn't fix it for me. Oh well back to troubleshooting.

Any chance you could let me know which other system apps you have on the auto end list? I'm thinking it's still a problem with the auto end because it stops after the screen goes off, so it probably isn't a frozen app, or at least so I think
Try removing all apps from autoend list, and test again.
If works... only add to the list apps not related to music, video and pictures.

it is still working for me as well. I haven't had a single instance of the problem in over two weeks.
Make sure that gallery is still off?

How do you make sure the gallery app is not under auto kill? Is there a special app for this or could this be found in the settings? Sorry for the newbie question. Thanks in advance.
If you open task manager and then press menu, there is an option listed to show all native apps, in addition to the ones you've downloaded. After you enable that, click on the auto end apps. section of tasks manager. gallery should be listed alongside the. camera, etc.

the important is that , MUSIC and Gallery are all not in autoend list.

Gallery not working?

For a while now, my gallery hasnt been working. I am using the stock 2.3.4 gallery.
When i open the gallery, all my pictures show up, but when i try to view one of them, a blurred version of the picture shows up with a loading symbol, but the picture never loads.
I dont know what to do and even after several reboots it hasnt been working.
Can someone tell me what is going on and how to fix it?
I'm not sure what it is but since I found quickpic in the market I never looked back. Much faster, full of options. Give it a try!

Hm.. It's not that it goes to the last viewed folder or something? Try pressing the back button.
Or check the hidden folder option in settings.

You may need to go into the QuickPic settings and add the folder where the existing pictures were saved.
I'm not sure what the problem is because the picture thumbnails right showing up but when I try to view them, there is just a loading symbol but it never loads. Honestly this is getting very annoying, now that I haven't been able to view the pics for over a week now.

I seem to have fixed it for now but this has happened before and usually the same problem keeps coming back.
Also, could someone tell me if there is supposed to be a .nomedia file in DCIM> Camera?

Scrolling gallery!

OK I did something today and cannot recreate it. If someone knows please tell me how to do it. OK so I was looking at my gallery going through my Halloween pics and I don't know what I did but my gallery turned scrollable, by this I meen is the pics got smaller and they were side by side like 5 on screen and I could scroll left to right.

Blinkfeed 4.2.2

Has anyone noticed BlinkFeed improvements? I think it got worse in my opinion, it's not loading as many things in one refresh.

I've noticed that too. I'm also I'm disappointed they didn't add more sources or add the ability for us to add our own. :/
More sources would of been a welcome refresh. Now i have to see my dock in the feed as well that cuts down the viewing area of the already small tiles.
Oh well, the other changes outweigh this small one.
I do like back button sending you to the top instead of having to hit the status bar. I wasnt that accurate and normally opened the top story on the first try

They also had it so you could hit Home while on the blink feed to jump back to the top since 4.1.2

Small gripes so far

So this is my first HTC phone and for the most part I am loving it. However, there are two things that I hate. For starters, on a Phone such as the Galaxy s4 or the iPhone, I am able to view who sent me a text on the lockscreen or who sent me a text even when the phone is secured. Now on the HTC m8, I dont get to see any of that. All I see is the number of notifications above the phone app or the messaging app. Also, I hate the fact that if I go into the texting app to view a few messages but not all of them, it will then clear the icon in the notification panel as well as the indicator above the app icon itself. It really makes it super easy to forget if I had any extra text or not.
Check settings lock screen, the m7 had a lockscreen view that showed texts. Haven't got my m8 yet to see if it's still there.

Try using google handouts instead of the standard texting app
You can view text messages on the lock screen. You have to enable it in the settings.

Go to Settings, then Security and click notification settings under lockscreen. I am using Sense 6.0 on the M7 but it should be the same. I actually liked the way this was handled on Sense 5.5 better than 6.
