So now I have two quirks over this phone, one is no data during phone calls...now I cannot upload photos to picturetrail or photobucket. It says the file exceeds 5mb. I looked around all settings and tried different browsers with no answer. My Note 3 had no problem doing this. Any suggestions?
Has anyone else tried to upload to photobucket or picturetrail? Doesn't seem to be an issue with Facebook?

Can anyone upload to youtube?
I know its always been a rough experience but I can't upload larger videos... the error message complains about them being over 1Gb even though they are 140-200 meg.
I did get a 50 meg to go to the next screen but it fails on account error.
How do I find the cached images for recieved pics in yahoo messenger?
I checked everything on my SD card, but when I use root explorer to pull for .jpg on the phone, i get hundreds if not thousands of hits with no way to preview other than one at a time. I hope there is an easier way.
I downloaded several pics, but didnt think to change the names...they each came through at different times and were all called "image" so i guess they were over written, but isnt there a cached image of every picture viewed whether I saved them or not?
Thanks for your help.
Bump...
No suggestions?
Hello everyone. Had my Lumia 800 Black for 2 weeks now and I love it.
A friend of mine downloaded some pics from her FB profile, but I wasn't around and now I can't find the pictures. Not with zune, not with the usb storage device "hack" (Don't know that I've done the reg "hack" properly, because I can see the phone as a device, but nothing is shown after expanding it). Searched for couple of days for file manager/explorer app, but can't find anything.
Don't have any experience with smartphones, so please help me.
"Pictures ---> Saved pictures" ?
Nope. Nothing there.
Nothing else I can thing of - they weren't saved.
Nope if they are not in that folder they couldn't have been saved. It's the only folder we can save images to.
Did You check The whole folder ? Sometimes it is saver with the original timestamp and therefore not nescessarily at the end as latest photos.
I have a few questions I hope somebody can shed some light on regarding images and videos...
Problem 1 - Dropbox Image Resolution
Firstly, it seems that Dropbox auto-uploads scales down the photos? Is there a way to stop this?
I noticed because my images are always sideways because of how I hold my phone taking pics, but then in my dropbox folder they were all portrait, so I checked image resolution and they are indeed smaller?
Problem 2 - Photo distortion/corruption from Windows File Transfers
Also, when copying photos from the phone to computer via USB (MTP), many of the pictures become corrupted. By corrupted I mean really strange lines across the photos and colour distortions. The actual pictures taken are fine because on the phone display in the Gallery they show perfectly. It is just when copying to PC they seem to corrupt. The photos are a mixture of some on the memory card and some on the internal storage and the problem happens with both..
This has happened to me on random photos (I transferred 150 and probably 30 were corrupt). I have tried this on two computers, one that has Kies installed and the Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit installed, and another computer that has no drivers installed apart from the ones Windows installs.
The file transfers were using Windows Explorer. I also tried with Kies and had the same problem.
Importantly: When trying a second or third time to copy the corrupt files, they copy fine and the problem disappears.
I noticed the Dropbox problem because I thought, well the photos are already uploaded so I can just copy from there without any photo problems, but they were all smaller resolution?
Problem 3 - HD Video Stutters
And my final problem. I copied a video taken on the phone to the PC (taken at 1080 full HD) it is a couple of minutes long in broad daylight. When viewing on the phone, quality is perfect. However when playing on the laptop (Core i5, 4GB RAM, Sony Vaio) the video has some stutters and distortion/corrupt bits.. it seems to play fine for a few seconds and then the video goes all distorted, then fine, then more distortion?
The problem appears on videos saved both on the phone internal storage, and on videos saved to memory card (class 6 SanDisk microSD)..
I have plenty of space and RAM available on the phone, it is only a week old, I have setCPU set to use Lazy CPU governor, using SIO scheduler, and I have dynamic hotplug disabled and all 4 cores running. Phone is rooted, with CWM touch..
Has anyone faced a similar problem or have any suggestions? What is the optimum way to transfer my photos to computer? Should I store photos and videos on internal storage or on the memory card?
Thanks
mine is like this, it should be 2mb and its only 333kb

only i did cut and paste and now left with nothing. is there way to recover it ?
That is a perfect example of what happens to my photos...
As for recovering, not too sure. NEVER CUT things you don't want to lose. COPY then delete after.

Never had any corruption at all ever .
You may have something else working in the background during copy ????

Do you mean working in the background on the phone or the laptop?
I was transferring some background pics to my phone last night and the connection kept dropping and files became corrupt, many many files became corrupt and unusable..
This happens in both MTP mode and the "Camera mode"..
I don't understand what is going wrong.. My phone is pretty much stock apart from my NEAK kernel.. I don't have any apps using the USB..
Don't know why the files get corrupted the first couple of times you transfer the, but for automatic transfer to Dropbox, Google, and my web domain I use FolderSync. Seems to do the job without compressing any pics/videos.

Thanks I will use that app for dropbox sync, looks awesome!
I just checked and there is no compression of my Dropbox Camera Upload syncs at all. Maybe it's your ISP? Are you using 3G to do this? Orange compress and alter the quality of images downloaded on webpages over 3G. I know because I've only just switched to Three and Orange used to do this all the time to all 3G connections.

You are 100% sure that your photos taken at 8MP remain at 8MP after using Dropbox Camera-Upload option?
Standard dropbox upload should remain at 8MP, but the camera-upload function that automatically uploads photos as you take them, that compresses them I think?
Do you experience any of the USB problems I ask about?
I first saw this on my wife's S3 and now I have the same thing on my Note 2. Whenever I go into the Gallery app, it is so extremely slow. I thought it was building indexes or something, but my Thunderbolt wasn't this slow. I have searched around and can't find anything.
I do have images on an extSD card, but even before I put the card in the pics I took on camera were slow to come up. I can use other apps like quic pic but I don't think S-pen works with other apps.
Anyone else seen this?
EDIT: It appears the S-Pen works fine in quic pic. I was able to select and copy to clipboard just fine. I would still like to know why Gallery is so slow though.
hmm I'd call mine quite fast. I have 42 local pictures already and it that album and facebook ones instantly and when I click local, the pictures all pop right up instantly. Have you noticed reads/writes from your memory being slow with anything else?

My phone overall is very fast. It is just the gallery. The fact that I saw it on my wife's S3 made me wonder. I even moved her pics off of her extSD card and onto her internal memory. Then I reformatted her card. I also reformatted my card in the phone before putting the pics back on it. Quic Pic works like a champ, so I believe it has to be Gallery.
No issues here with opening gallery, pics taken from phone or photos on memory card. Also my s3 was fast.
Yep, mine too. I have a lot on my card, when i open the gallery it shows a bunch of gray squares that should be the folder names.it takes forever to show thumbnails for some reason. Never had this on my S3
I have 6000+ pictures separated into 50+ albums all stored on my 64gb xdhc and its fast. for an album of more than 600 pics, the gray boxes turn to thumbnails quick enough to keep up with my scrolling.
I'm in the same boat as the OP.... It takes quite a long time to load up my pictures in my gallery. Quite annoying...
use a ultra high speed sd card an it will help with gallery speed. i have a 64gb sandisk that reads 50mb/s...

I have had the same problem since owning the S3 and now the GN2. I have about 6gb of photos on my internal storage and a couple gb on my sd card.
I have been able to figure out that it's something with my home network. Try to turn off Wifi and then open Gallery on all 3 of my Sammy phones the gallery is instantly fast.
PS Someone also told me to disable Tag Buddy and Face Tag as well.
Motorola is similar yo this except that the moto gallery pinch room is choppy. Quick pic fixes. Its something about the ui that makes it drag along on the gallery. Hopefully they address it because my old gs2 didn't really have that issue.
Same issues with gallery sometimes
I've noticed some slowdown on the gallery but mostly when other apps try to access it.
Like if i try to look at the gallery from picsay or something.
I notice the camera folder shows up right away but it hangs on the other folders.
I have it showing all my facebook photos too. Don't know if that has anything to do with it.
And I have noticed its quite hit or miss. Sometimes its instant sometimes it hangs.
It is quite weird when the phone is so fast.
I would love to know what is causing it.

If it's looking for facebook albums, it could be data connection that's affecting the speed.

I haven't found a way. I went into facebook sync and unchecked "sync gallery" and changed the gallery sync interval to never, then went and cleared all data from the gallery but it went through and downloaded them all over again.
Did you try changing the sd speed? I switched from the default 128k to 2048 and my galleries load as fast as I can scroll

I too have this issue. It would be worth trying what LordRalh3 mentions. Dont know if this is going to help. I had several pictures on internal memory until I remembered to install my external 32gb card, it is slow both ways.
I had the same issue, and found that gallery was caching a ton of data. Over 2 gigs the first day! I cleared it, and again the next day it began caching data again. I have resorted to disabling the app, and I am in the process of wiping to see if that helps. I will let you know what happens.
Stock gallery is bull****. Better is quickpic i use it nearly 1 year
Wiping did not help. Gallery still as slow as molasses. I will report back on cached data. How would I go about changing the sd speed?
I just changed the sd speed to 2048. There was no difference. This is really annoying. I turned off syncing with picasa, facebook, google +. Im not sure what else could cause such a slow down.
