Private gallery? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

This should probably go in like a "general Android" forum, but since I don't really stray from the Note 2 forum, I figured I'd ask here.
Is there a way to keep photos from showing up in the Photos/Gallery apps? I have some special pictures () of my wife on my phone that I don't want showing up when I let someone see my phone to show them a random pic. I mean, yeah, I could take them off the phone, but I don't want to lmao.
Or maybe a setting somewhere? I didn't see anything in the Photos app...

I'd just move them to a subfolder and create a .nomedia file in it. This lets the scanner know to skip that folder and it won't show up in gallery.

Ha, works perfectly, thanks! :highfive:
Now, is there an easier way to view them other than removing the file? Are there apps that can view pictures even with that file?

Try Quickpic from play store. You can hide and show folders quickly from the menu button. Also an option to exclude folders. Way better than stock gallery imo.

Yeah there is. When u set up ur e-mails go into advanced settings and click on download everything or something within those lines, lol. PM me if u have further problems. I still gotta set up my e-mails on my phone. I had to get a new phone.
you goto messaging>options>pick ur account>download size settings>download attachments>all attachments
Oh no I dont mean that, it will "download" the images (my settings are for it download the entire message and download all the attachments) I mean when you are already in your inbox and click on a message, it always blocks the images (the images show a red "x" and theres a yellow message that says " Internet Pictures Blocked") and then you have to click on the the message when it then grows larger and says "To protect your privacy, pictures from the internet are not automatically donwloaded"
Then u must click on the link underneath it which says "download internet pictures" for the pics on the email to then show up (without the red arrows)
Hopefully that explains it better than before haha
Absolutely, this has been driving me nuts. Even if you do download the internet pictures, if you go off of the message and then back to it, guess what.. DOWNLOAD INTERNET PICTURES!!!!!!
Needless to say, would be nice to find a fix for this rather retarted "feature".

Did anyone ever get a resolution to this? I have the same problem as I have now setup my WM6.1 phone with Exchange and emails with pictures dont download automatically (that is the pictures embedded WITHIN the emails dont, the actual email does download (text etc)... surely there is a reg hack for this!?!
Many thanks
Andy
*bump!*
this is so annoying, i'd love for this to automatically just work!
i was gonna ask the same exact question....basically how do i get my email html to work and show all images automatically, i already have it set to download all attachments which it will like if there is an mp3 or zip attached i can just open it but i'd like to see the images embeded in my email automatically
i too would like windows mobile to automatically download internet pictures. i don't think its going to be very easy to accomplish though.
me 3 this hiccup is driving me nuts please can someone find a way to fix it
Don't know why this is in the CDMA forum, but I'm also looking for this answer. Ideally, I'd want the ability to say "always download images from this sender", although I figure it will be an "all or nothing" type of hack.
was tossing in bed one night this week and it occured to me that there had to be a registry edit to disable that link to download images all the time, i also figured id ask, glad do know im not alone in that its a really busted "feature"
can anyone "save" the pictures into your SDcard from the emails that arent attachments .? holding finger on the photo doesnt have a "save as"
ive been trying to regedit all day on this topic!! GRRRR
haha... I concur as well
I have had this problem for the last 2 years.Surely somebody should have came out with a solution by now, or a registry hack, or even a .cab to solve this stupid repetitive problem. Anyone? maybe I wil mess around my registry some and see if I can solve this problem without bricking my brand new HTC Snap. Pray for me.
jesse
Yea it is annoying. I mean the phone allows pictures but just never displays them automatically.
Although I usually just have my settings to download TEXT only anyway because whats the purpose if you can't see the pics anyway.
Its a default 'feature' in Outlook. On a pc you can disable that, but i have looked everywhere and you cant, at least without a hack, on the POutlook. So unless M$ allows us... someone will have to find the hack...
Hi guys. I have the same problem aswell. But even worse. when i click on "download pics", it doesnt do it!!! after i have clicked it, i look at the bottom left handside of the screen(oh...TD2) for the status, it just says "downloadings pics" for about 3 secs,and then nothing happens!
Any ideas?
This is such a stupid feature and it annoys the hell out of me. dont really want to so rude... but the iphone emails are way better and it even looks brilliant!! no download pic, or "tap to scroll"!!!!
Ditto
Just chiming in that a fix of this "feature" would be great. I just picked up the Tilt 2 and assumed (yes, I know what happens...) that this would have been fixed with 6.5. Now I have to decide if I'll stick with FlexMail.
that's always been a problem with pocketpc

Google + and phone photos unavailable to delete. Advice/Help please!

Hello.
Thanks for taking your time reading this post.
So as i took a picture I noticed i cant delete it from Google +.
It is not shared, however the Delete button that is greyed out concerns me to a point.
Does this mean Google + may let you delete pictures in the future? At this point I am a little disappointed, so does this leave me to either suck it up for now, or disable the Google+ App from my phone and account?
Any light shed on this topic is appreciated.
Thanks
Edit:I was digging around and stumbled upon a website that claimed Google + will store our information permanently.
Even though the Delete button is greyed out, it is still clickable, and you can delete the picture that you choose. Just click on the picture that you want to delete, then click the delete button.

Hey thanks so much! I am somewhat ashamed I didn't think to try that. Thank you for your time!

how to send image caches to other folders

so whenever I play Words With Friends, the facebook pics from other users show up in my pictures folder, which is annoying because it makes finding pictures hard and its embarrassing because I look like a stalker. How can I change this?
sorry. no idea. i think it's an app thing.
i downloaded vevo or something once because i wanted to watch a video that wouldn't play on youtube.
all of a sudden, ads for "the voice" and stuff started showing up inside my picture gallery.
just did a clean up and removed any apps i didn't use and that stopped.

sharing via gmail from the gallery

does this annoy anyone else?
if I take a photo, and I want to email it to someone.. there are a gazillion different 'share' options but none of them are gmail. yet if it recognises someones face (good luck with that), then I can gmail it.
does anyone know a way to reenable gmail sharing via the gallery?
I couldn't work it out either and it was really bugging me. I really don't know why it is not in the standard list, but this is how to do it:
Go to the thumbnail of the photo you wish to email and press and hold on it for a second or so. When it is highlighted you then press the "share' button up the top. Then you are able to email, MMS, etc.
I really don't like it, but that seems to be the way to do it from the gallery.
I hope this helps.
What are you firmware details?
Sounds like you really need to update to the latest firmware release.
You probably won't find anything by checking through KIES, so just flash through Odin manually. (Backup to PC before).
I've have that option (always had), and currently running ALFE6.

Thanks! The share icon is so weird, for anyone else looking it's a icon with 3 dots and lines drawn between them.
Has anyone found how to remove face tags? I like the feature but I have an image with a bunch of yellow squares drawn over it and would only like the ones that actually have a face.

thankyou sir. seems like a bug.
i guess you need to be in the 'grid view' of gallery for this to work. shame because that's not easy to get to if you just take a photo and review your shots and want to email it.
someone asked about firmware.. i'm on.. i don't even care. i spent two years pissing around with custom roms with an htc desire. i don't have time in my life for that anymore.. just need a very stable daily driver. will wait for kies..

Question about the picture gallery....

When I took some pictures and opened my gallery I noticed a "Blinkfeed" style gallery with "Friends" etc.....Here's the thing...I don't want that crap in my gallery...I actually like Blinkfeed in that it is basically a nicer looking widget for my social apps...but I don't care to see that **** in my gallery when it's already on my homescreen.....I've tried to find ways to disable it on facebook...but to no avail....I'm kind of confused as to why it's even on there and not just the pictures I took or downloaded....Not sure I described exactly what I mean....I'm coming from a Samsung Infuse and never saw that...although it's gallery file manager was crazy enough.

Click the menu button in the top right (The three dots) then select ADD ONLINE SERVICE and just unselect the ones you don't want to see
Yeah, I'm kind of annoyed with that as well. I don't have Facebook, and I also turned off syncing with Google Photos, DropBox, Flickr and Picasa. Yet, I still have a blank "friends" block in my gallery. I'm not sure how to get rid of that. Went into "apps" and tried the method of deleting the cache and data and starting over, but it's still there. Oh well.
