Hello everyone.
I've just realized that after making a video if I delete it and shoot another one the little preview on the file shows the previous and deleted video,it does not match,so I have to go through all the videos in order for me to see the one I want to send or watch.
Has anyone had this issue?
Thanks so much.
Yep
Yep
having same issues with my streak....must have something to do with Album Art Caching....need to write an app for this...
Thank you very much for your reply.I thought I was the only one experiencing this.
Anybody else?
Last night I called Dell and they are gonna send me a new device,since this one is not even a week old.
Yeah me too.. a bit annoying but I got over it pretty quickly.
We all should report this,Dell needs to know,the more the better.
Did you find an app for this? any workaround?
Thanks.
Little workaround
I think I have just found a little workaround to solve this issue.I put my videos on a different folder on my computer,this is what I did after that:
-Go to sdcard (use Astro,Linda,windows file explorer will work too)then go to DCIM,you will see two folders camera and .thumbnails (just delete this one only)
Once you have deleted that one put the videos back on the camera folder,then take a look at the gallery on your streak,now the videos should be showing the real preview.
If you delete one of the videos the issue will be back and you will have to start the process over.After messing a little bit more with this folder I can see it does work.So if you come across the same bug give it a shot.
just initiate a new media scan..
Ok...I know it sounds very stupid specially after trying so many steps,but how can I do that....I'm sure I'm missing something.
Thanks.

Your phone should do a media scan when you restart, if that doesn't clear up the problem you can try an app like Rescan Media. It forces a media rescan without a reboot. There are others, that was the first I found.
Ok...I think I got it this time.Maybe it is one of the apps that do not autostart when I turn on the device,I use autostarts to disable apps and I must have disabled something that was not supossed to be off.
Thanks.

Ok so before when viewing photos in mediascape I learned that you could tap the mail icon and there would be an option to upload to my picasa web album. Well suddenly it is no longer available?? The only thing that ive done to change anything on my phone since this took place is to install Helixlauncher, which I don't think would screw with that.
Any thoughts??

In order to basically get back to where you started (option to upload picasa web album) you'll need to follow some basic steps....
1. Uninstall Helixlaucher
2. Stop asking silly questions
3. Wouldn't you think that if everything was as you wanted it before you installed an app, things went "wrong" after installation of said app, that it only stands to reason if you uninstall that very same app, you'll be at square one again?
4. Now THIS was a problem. (Just read my friend. Just read)
Which was solved with a little bit of know how!

thanks for your help? *sarcasm*
anybody else having this problem?
This is the first I have heard of it but lets see if we can find out why. First we need more info to help you. Are you on a custom rom or stock? Is it crashing as your scroll at around the same place? Do you let it load completely before you scroll? How many pics?

I am running the stock rom. Sometimes it crashes when I load sometimes it crashes when I scroll around but its never at the same place. I got 32 photos.
Thanks for trying to help me out man I really appreciate it.
edit: I just deleted some of the pictures off my memory card and it seems to be working fine now but this is very crazy to me that I cant have a lot of pictures on my memory card without the album crashing.

Sounds like one of those pics are corrupted, I hate to say this but there is only really one way to find it, that is to move the pics to the pc and add them back one by one and see which one it is. (at least thats what I would do) were the pics taken with the camera or where they ones you downloaded?

I think your right about some of the files being corrupted because most of the files I deleted they were downloaded else where. Thanks for your help man!!!
I have read that some people when they get over 50 pics thats happens. It has never happend to me. Usually when I download pics and I don't put them in the DCIM folder thus they dont show up when I am scrolling through the picture in the album.
Hi guys,
Hitting wall with this S5 since .nomedia file for me doesn't work. I have an app installed in internal memory, which has some pictures in it for its operation. Now this pictures show up in gallery which is really annoying as there are about 30folders(gallery lists as albums..)
I tried full reset gallery + media storage apps, restart phone. Gallery opens, clear first and within couple seconds again full of that crap.... Now is there any solution on this? I don't really want to download apps since troubleshooting when they crash is even bigger pain....

I also have had problems with the stock gallery dsiplaying some .nomedia directories, i use quickpic though and it works flawlessly there, theres even an option in it to hide folders, so its not an issue for me. According to google this is a widespread issue, and suprise suprise a solution i saw was use quickpic.

But that's complete rubbish, what's the point to pay premium for a phone which is not even capable to do basics? I get really annoyed lately with samsung... They keep removing useful features one after another with each new model release.... Instead put loads of rubbish apps which never gets used...
So how does quickpic work then? Surely there should be a way to manually do same ?

Something you can try is force stopping the gallery then clear the cache and data, open it, then repeat a few times till it works. Quickpic works like a gallery lol, just download it yourself and play with it, if you long press a folder theres a menu option to hide it.

Normally I'd have this issue fixed per the typical ways to fix but as of yesterday I cannot change any permissions nor can I access my camera or video files. Before you go into the rant of going into settings and disabling any apps that use screen overlay I have done that to every single app and system app as well as disabled the accessibility options....I still get the message. Any clues that might be helpful? I have Build MRA58k version BLU_R0011UU_v21_GENERIC 05-05-2017 short of doing a twerp recovery to an old image I don't know what to do.

I am trying to change my permissions so that I can use my phone for recording videos but it refuses to let me view any of my files in my gallery. It doesn't matter if I go through the app or if try to view it through a file viewer such as file manager, nothing will let me access them. In fact I can not change permissions for any app, can't change what can and cannot access my storage, can not change what accesses my phone, nothing can be changed. It's not just those apps, every app I try to change permissions for has the same message. As I stated before I have disabled ALL draw over other apps, System as well as normal but the message still pops up even after a reboot........It all started 3 days ago, I didn't install anything new and as far as my security programs show, I have not been infected with a virus or malwear....
Just an update... 9 days and still not fixed... I have had to install different programs for some of my functionality back however I still cannot change any permissions... Some apps will allow me to tap outside of the notification and still use them however some things I still cannot do such as view recently recorded vids or recently taken pictures. Still hoping someone can find a fix for this issue.
My phone has been acting really weird for a few months now and I can't figure it out. Is there a way to find all apps on the phone user installed, system, and hidden?? My phone isnt rooted; well I havent rooted it nor does it say it has. For instance earlier when I pushed my volume button there was an accessibility guy there nothing would open when I pushed him and while looking threw my accessibility settings and checking here and there to see if he was still there, he just vanishes without me turning anything off. Like WTF. Theres other weird things but that's just the most recent 1. And it's got me very concerned. Pls help!!
Your probably have a setting on in Accessibility like visibility enhancements or screen reader, you'll need to turn it off.
For list of apps you can view them in Settings > Apps ( Tap the 3 dots on the top right and tap "Show system apps" )

That's what I thought at first so I went threw my accessibility settings and they r all off. He hasn't been back so far that I have noticed. I know there r some spyware and malware that u can hide from being seen or make it look like some random app. Is there a way to use like adb or android studio to scan it for something that shouldn't be there.

I'm not sure too much about malware, I do know that Samsung has their own "Security Features" in Settings > Device Care > Security if you want to scan your device, also try Play Protect.
Seeing that the Accessibility issues are out of the way, what other problems are you experiencing ?

I saw the guy again but this time I kinda got to look at the running services and I found this. Could that have something to do with it?? As u can kinda tell, once I forced stopped that cloud messaging service the time changed on it and went under the dual messenger service. But as I was saying beforehand, google play services always had a pop up saying using headphones in the background. But my data doubled in the last 2-3 months, things I download will just disappear and pictures (like my phone will restore itself a few days but not my messages or calls), my phone also keeps adding a new camera gallery like it's not connected anymore and is a new camera same with the screenshot folder. Theres also a few other things

So Cloud Messaging's time would change because after you stopped the process it restarted itself. But the other things make it look like your phone is being haunted :laugh:
Can you send your list of installed Applications ?

You sure do have alot of apps. I'm not from your country so I'm not 100% of what all your apps do.
But these are the apps that look suspicious to me :
AnyMusic

Downloader
I-Say
InboxDollars
Lucky Dice,Money,Pusher
Match to Win
McAfee Security
Mobile Performance Meter
Movie Hunt
MP3 Music Download
Music Downloader

Scam Sheild
Shortcut Master (Lite)
Step Younger+

Torrent Movies
Tubi
If I were you, I'd get rid of them.
If this doesn't fix your issues. I recommend you reset the device and do not install apps like this.

Sorry. I see it now. I'm not sure why that is. I have never seen that before in my life, it's very weird.
I recommend you backup your files and reinstall the firmware.
Thank u so much for u help but I think I'm actually gonna root this phone and get rid of some of these odd apps and that work profile that I have no idea how to get into. Now to just find and download everything I need to do just that. Lol
