Galaxy S4-I9505-Half of the photos i took appear corrupted - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Half of the photos i took appear corrupted and display the same photo whereas in the preview, they display the correct photo. Is there any way to fix it?
Here are some examples, the preview and the photo displayed is different, and the 3 photos are the same:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Now this is rather strange, what kind of a memory card are you using and are you using the stock firmware?

Yes I've had this too. It is rather weired issue. I think it might be thumb nails issue. If you delete thumbnails I'm pretty sure it fixed it.

No memory card, Internal memory. Yes stock firmware on the S4.

How do you delete thumbnails? Not quite sure how to do it.

Tried to find a thumbnail file/folder, can't find it though.

open 'My Files' app, click menu, then settings, then tick 'show hidden files', then back, then 'All Files', 'Device Storage', then 'DCIM' and delete the folder named '.thumbnails'

Nope still does not work Deleted thumbnails file, cache and data and rebooted phone. Still shows the same corrupted pictures.

damn, can you try a factory reset, do you have a lot of data on it?

app icons changed to default android app icon

sup guys,
I'm having an odd issue.
I'm using the HD2One build and love it. I have Launcher Pro with 3 screens with app shortcuts and widgets and one folder for the games.
Well, the last 3 apps i put in this folder had their icon changed to the default android app icon. it happened with 0.3.4 and it just did it with 0.3.5. note that the shortcut is working properly and i can run the app without problem
any ideas about what's going on?
edit: updating LauncherPro fixed it so I guess LP is at fault?
What icon whas it before if not default icon?:s

Just had exactly the same thing happen on my Sensation but just removing the app from the desktop and then adding it back fixed it
Found this thread with a search for the same problem (not specific to device so rather than start a new thread I have added here)... couldn't find a proper fix for it though!
I have two folders with several apps in them. I do not want to have to remove and then replace each app that has had its icon replaced with the generic android icon - that would be an utter ball ache!
Does this issue arise due to apps being on the SD card? (I use Apps2SD). Is there some sort of icon memory cache that gets wiped every now and then for icons in folders? Could it be program updates?
This is perhaps only a small thing but it makes my carefully constructed specific folders look rubbish, and should be easy to fix with some sort of "refresh" command maybe?
My Sensation XE is unrooted and it is only the icons in folders that suffer this problem.
I have the same problem as above also on Sensation. It only happens when I move an app to the SD card and put it in a folder. Does Anyone have any solutions?

ALL (?) apps being updated...?!

So...my market is going crazy with updating apps...it started with about 7...and now its up to 85! This image has it at the 70s...what's going on? Its not getting any less...it just goes up and down...I usually update my apps as needed but I don't think ALL the apps are due for an update? Anyone else experiencing this? Here is the screenshot...look at the top...

Edit :: Wow...now its at 94...! What the heck is going on?? I tried rebooting the phone...but it made no difference.
Did you set it to sync with AppBrain?
Try going to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications.
Then go to the "All" tab and find Download Manager and clear data for it.

Delete icon is missing from the gallery app

Hello all, recently, i realized the 'delete' icon from the gallery app has been replaced by the screen mirroring icon (even though screen mirroring is not turned on). If i want to delete photos now, I have to press the left key and hit 'delete' or hold the photo down to select it... before deleting it.
I have tried all means and ways to get the delete icon back, cleared cache and data from the gallery app, turning on and off screen mirroring etc... restarting all... but it does not seem to come back at all.
Can anyone advise me on how to get the 'delete icon' back? been trying to search for answers but couldnt find one so far. Here's a screenshot for you... i believe most of you would have the delete icon in place of the screen mirroring icon

Bump!
What firmware are you on?
I used to have the delete button in the action bar too but once i upgraded to MEA, I have to delete images from the menu list instead as you have described.

i updated the software recently to the MEA version and bam! the delete icon just went missing.
Anyone has any solution to this? I dont need the screen mirroring icon! I need the delete icon!!!
It is not at activated at the top anymore it's activated at the bottom.
Long press the thumbnail... the delete icon will appear along with multi select.

That is what i've been doing for a while now, but frankly... i would much prefer to have the delete icon back.
Anyone has any workaround solution to this?
I think if you press the menu button on the phone there's a delete option there too.

The ui change cannot be worked around short of rooting the device to modify the gallery app or not rooting and using a third party gallery.

Notification Sound?

This may be a stupid question, but on the M8 I could add sounds into the notification folder to use for texts and such. Now, the 10 is not allowing it "read only" it says.
Also, no addition button similar to the ringtones.
Is there something I'm overlooking? Or for a simple sound file move am I going to have to root?

Create a folder anywhere (internal or external) named Notifications, and reboot.
To be clear, you don't have to reboot, but that's the fastest way for the phone to repopulate the notification list with the new sounds.

Wow that was simple. Thank you very much! I've always just put the file in system/media/audio/notificatons and it's worked before. Not this time.
Appreciate it!
Sent from my HTC6545LVW using XDA-Developers mobile app
I had no problems without root setting up custom notifications on the 10. just copied them over to the folder like you said. don't know why says read only, did you set it by accident in a explorer app?
Peace....
it still doesnt work for me....am I missing something?

No it surprised me too. I'm not sure what was going on. I did the recommendation above but dropped the file in the default Notifications folder instead of making a new one. Worked just fine then.

Thanks for the answer to my issue also. I found a few notification sounds and ringtones from days gone by and wanted to use them. All the best.

Why not just try deleting apps you don't use, clearing cache, and or moving pics and videos to SD card?

This has been covered many times for anyone who searches. For those that don't: Tap Internal Storage. Then on the next screen you'll see the word MORE in the upper right corner of your screen. Tapping that will present you with a menu item that says Migrate Data. Tap that and follow any instructions.

Hi, I went into storage options and didn't see the word more to migrate data, am I missing something?

Did you go into your Internal Storage? Did it bring you to a different screen? I am referring to your screen shots above. Get to that screen and then follow my instructions. I'm also assuming that you followed the instructions in the video and you now have your extSD set up as adoptable storage.
