whenever I go to upload a photo on facebook, it automatically goes to camera roll. Having thousands of pictures in all different folders to search and hunt the one photo I care most about to send... this is VERY frustrating. Is there any way to switch it so that when I go to upload, it allows me to choose from my folders?
No reply at all? ?

1. Not with the default Album application. You could get a file browser app to do that from the Market, or another picture viewer application may have that functionality, but you can't do it directly within Albums.
2. No, sorry. Just those two albums plugins seem to be available at the moment.
you can make albums just make a folder (not in DCIM) then there will show a new albums on the start. thats that easy . if you put it in DCIM it will show up in camrea shots.
I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to sharing pictures taken from my phone.
What are my options if I want to share photo's with family/friends. I thought dropbox would be good, but unless I read the directions wrong I can't send anyone links to folders - just individual pictures.
For example, if I am on vacation and take pics with the phone I would like friends and family to view these photo's.
Create an account with Photobucket, or Picasa etc. You can take photos and load them to your account. They have apps you can use to manage the folders you place photos in. Then just direct link people the photo albums.
Hi all
Just got my new S3 today, came across from a HTC and boy this thing's not as intuitive to set up or sync contacts as Sense is. Anyway, that aside, I have a strange problem with the gallery and pictures I've uploaded to the phone.
Firstly, every time I open gallery, it displays all my locally stored photos and also all my Facebook albums. I select "View files on this device" and it drops my facebook photos off, butbwhen I quit the gallery and come back to it later it does thecsame, there doesn't seem to be a way to grt it to remember my default choice of local photos only.
Secondly, I have about a dozen folders with photos, all resized ftom originals I took on my camera to save size, and I've changed their file name using "Thailand Photo 001" "Thailand Photo 002" 003 004 etc. They were all renamed using a batch renamer so their creation date/time stamp is the same. They are in folders named "01 Thailand", "02 Vietnam" "03 Cambodia" etc.
When I use the stock S3 Gallery app, not only are the folders displayed in reverse order from the highest number back to 01, all the photos are displayed in reverse order too, from the highest to the lowest. In Quickpic they all display fine.
My girlfriends non-ICS Galaxy Note displays the albums in the right order, but the photos reversed also.
Apart from using Quickpic, I'm loathe to leave the stock gallery app because if the face recognition and tagging etc, has anybody else seen this problem, maybe on an S2 or somewhere? I've emailed Samsung tech support but I don't have much faith in them - I emailed them previously querying the ICS update for the Note and they emailed back saying they had no information on it.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
I may have an idea about your Facebook pics problem, but that would disable syncing your Facebook photos to your Gallery altogether.
Go to Settings - Accounts and sync - Add account
There should be 2 options for Facebook
The first, simply called Facebook, is generated by having the Facebook app installed on your phone and will not sync your Facebook photos at all
The second, called Facebook (for syncing) should be inherent to the phone and will sync your photos. Remove that account and no more Facebook pics in your gallery
Thanks...
I just typed out a complete answer to you, popped to another tab and came back to find the page reloaded, so I'll keep this brief!
Re gallery issue - Samsung say it'll display photos newest first and that's that, the phone won't do it any other way, so my gallery shows my folders and photos in reverse order, ie newest photo at top descending to oldent, and the most recently crested sub-folder at the top - regardless of the file naming order.
I then emailed photos of the "My Files" app showing the correct file order - ie oldest at the top, descending to newest, and folders in the correct descending order, showing that an app can use the name & date correctly and in the 'correct' descending order - and also screenshots of QuickPic showing folders in the correct <001 trip part 1><002 trip part 2><003 trip part 3> order.
Samsung then backtracked in saying ok the phone can do it but the gallery can't, but their way is the correct way.
I pointed out that, ascseen in the screenshots, Gallery actuallt displays folders out of both date and file name order, but they skipped over that. I'll just have to either live with it or just use QuickPic.
Thanks for your advice re the facebook photos - I removed Facebook sync, and google pic sync, and no more Facebook or picasa pics!
Stock Galaxy S3 - Android 4.1.1
I can only use photos taken by my phone as contact photos.
If I go to gallery, and select any picture from the camera album that was taken by the phone ( internal or external storage ) I'm good to go, but if I select a photo from any other stored or edited album I have created, and try to set it as contact photo it will bring up the phone book, allow me to pick my contact, then allow me to crop the picture if need be, but when I click done, I get a black screen and no photo is assigned to my contact.
In other words, if I have downloaded a picture from a text, email, or just transferred from my computer, I can never get that to assign to a contact. I even tried dragging these photos into the camera album and repeating the process.. but still no luck.
I have an application called Deja office I use for contact syncing as I use ACT contact database on my PC to maintain my contacts, and although I can assign photos to my contacts through that app, there is no editing capabilities when I do it that way.. no cropping, resizing, etc.. and the photos look like crap. Reason why I mention that is the app takes over the editing capabilities of contacts direct from the phone itself and I can't edit a contact through the normal samsung phone book.
But with that said... strange I can change any contact photo as long as it is taken by the phone itself via the camera gallery(s), and cannot with any other photo??
I searched for anyone having a similar issue.. and seem to be all alone? Anyone.. anyone??
Thanks!
Problem solved on my own...
Found out that the only contacts I could assign photos were one's also in my google contacts. Those that were set up just in Deja office would not allow me to edit photos.. period.
I synced all my contacts to google, ( didn't really wanna do that ), but merged them and combined duplicates and now I can update the contact photos.
If a mod wants to delete this thread.. go ahead. It might serve some purpose for those that use Deja Office though.
Cheers..
I have my pictures loaded on Google Picasa. I can see the pictures in my Android Gallery app.
Id like to see my pictures also on my wife's gallery app. So far I havent been able to.
Ive tried adding my google account. Tried adding her to My Circles (Goggle++ thing) and having the albums shared to that group.
Anyone know if its possible?
Only way so far is to just give her a link to my pictures, in which she can then use the browser to see them. But sure beats the purpose of having them for offline viewing on her phone. BTW, from what I read, Gallery is going away for 5.0, and offline viewing of online pictures will be removed.
