I keep getting a mystery data file in my gallery app. I try to play the file because it shows up as a video but it doesn't work. I delete it and it eventually comes back. Here is a screenshot of the details of it. Does anyone have a suggestion of where this is coming from and how to get rid of it? Thanks!
I have the same thing. I think it showed up when I made a video available off line on drive. I haven't tried to get rid of it yet so I'm not completely sure on that.

TTS = text to speech, so it is probably related to that.
TTS File
I believe this is caused by a misplaced cache file used by TTS (Text-to_Speech) that is showing up in your gallery. It was probably created if you opened the TTS service under Accessibility in the Settings app. It should be safe to delete but may reappear if TTS is activated, directly or indirectly, again.

I have it set to googles text to speech. There is no way to turn text to speech off. Pretty sure I didn't touch it.

It looks like your gallery is mistaking the .tts file for a video file. Apparently .tts can be a file extension for MPEG-2 video formats. Check out this link for more information.
If you want it to stop showing up (and you are rooted) use a file explorer to put a blank ".nomedia" file in the /storage/external_SD/Android/data/ folder and reboot your phone. Or if I remember right, the G3 has a way to hide media files which you dont want to be seen or want to keep private.

I have media on my tablet. When I don't want to show it on my phone I prefix the file with a period in a file manager app.
That method isn't working on me prime. I do not want to use an app to accomplish this. Suggestions?
get the free app called quick pic. allows you to hide what ever folder or pix you want. it works great.
Seriously off topic. Should be posted in the general Android section. Actually Google would tell you the answer in about 30 seconds...

You can use StudioKuma .nomedia Manager from PlayStore
This works fine

I see the XDA Gestapo is making an appearance.
Put them in any folder with a name starting with a period. You could make for example: "/sdcard/.secretpornfolder"
I also recommend Quick Pic but just pointing out that the stock gallery app is extremely buggy and even after putting a nomedia file in a folder you want to hide it doesn't start hiding the folder until you wipe the data of the gallery app so that it refreshes the folder list. Don't bother with it though and use Quick Pic instead.

Ha! Good one
Run into this one - I use HIDE IT PRO - apart from media files you can lock and hide apps etc - I use it mostly to hide bloatware from my apps list as I find it annoying. But easy interface for hiding and restoring pictures and nice audio manager interface would help many of you guys when your wives get hands on your tablet to play solitaire and not finding applications or pictures you wanted to share
Not like I encourage anyone to do anything bad to they beloved wives, but...
Can someone tell me step by step how to add apps to the complete action using list? I have searched and it says add the intent to the manifest or something, but that isn't helpful when I do not even know what that is or how to get there.

Unless you are coding the app, you don't have to worry about that stuff. Apps should just show up as an available option after they're installed.

Sounds good, but didn't work like that for some reason. I have Notepad Pro by laoye. I uninstalled and redownloaded it. When I tap on my text file to open it, the app isn't listed there. On my Note 1 it was. Any ideas?
Shows up for me when I try to open a text file in Solid Explorer. Solid Explorer also gives you the option to open with other apps as you can see in the screen shot

I had created a shortcut of the .txt file on my homescreen using ES File Explorer. It used to work, but not now. Maybe I will uninstall both and try again. Thanks for trying.
I've recently install the Sygic Sat Nav app on my Z2.
The problem is all the avatars, emoticons and pictures from sygic are showing in the gallery and album apps.
Is there anyway to hide these? I've tried the .nomedia file but no luck.
Thanks

What I did I change system date 90's then i just moved folder to sdcard and back to internal storage. Then all the icons are at the bottom of album
Upon the first start of Sygic, the user can either purchase a map or activate a free trial. For the purposes of the free trial, any map can be downloaded. Sygic will let you use the map and the app with almost full functionality for a whole week before you are asked to purchase.Sygic boasts a variety of functions. This includes, of course, normal navigation through the input of a desired address: simply select the appropriate country, enter a city, street and house number and you can start your navigation. In addition, a home address can be stored.

I think, the extension for SmartWatch 2 will be available in Google Play, and it will let SmartWatch 2 receive navigation information, via Bluetooth, from the smartphone. Users will see a detailed map on their wrist, making it easy to navigate on foot. You will be able to see your current position, as well as your route, and there’s also a neat zoom function which lets you take a closer look at your map.

I dont know why the .nomedia option isnt working for you, anyway 2 options for you, you could either try making a folder called .nomedia and put all the sygic pix inside that folder, or a slightly longer way would be to edit the names of the pictures you dont want visible, just add a full stop at the start of file name..... eg if pic you want to hide is called pic1.jpeg you would change it to .pic1.jpeg then it wont show in gallery

about the .nomedia thingy.
i kinda hate it that all the album covers are shown in the gallery.
.nomedia DOES work for sub folders, right ?
So is there a thing such as .nophoto ? because i have mp3 files and the cover as .jpg in the same folder.

Creating .nomedia file in any folder that contains images that you don't want to see in album should work (after restarting, of course) maybe that can work for widget as well...

I recently discovered that Textra has adware installed with it, so I am not using it anymore for texting. Now I am using Google Messenger and I don't see a way to auto save my mms pics. Is there a way to accomplish this easily?

When you go to settings->advanced you have an option to automatically download MMS but I don't think it can save them automatically, give it a try

No it isn't, just open a file manager, go to Android then Data and search for "com.google.apps.messaging".

For now I think there's no way I know, you'll have to click the save button every time.
But the latest Google messages apk hinrs manual saves and restores for SMS/MMS (https://www.xda-developers.com/goog...google-fi-integration-manual-cloud-restores/)
So your photos could stay in messages anyway :l
