[Q] Timeshift Burst saves all images - why?

Hi guys,
Using stock ROM and camera (.257) on the Z1. I have a weird issue with the Timeshift Burst feature:
As I understand it, it is supposed to take 30 images, then let me choose one to keep.
Instead, it takes 30 images, lets me choose one, and then keeps all 30 images in my gallery!
They all get uploaded to Dropbox and G+, and they all clutter my on-device gallery. How do I make it stop? I want just one image, not 30.
Thank you!

you can do this.
DCIM\XPERIA\TIMESHIFT, then delete extra files before uploading

Both Dropbox and G+ auto-upload... Having to manually delete files is really a workaround - is there no "sane" way to do this? I expected a setting I missed or something.

Discovered the same annoying issue today. Hope the will fix it or at least give an option...

It's not an issue, Sony made it like this so you can later change the picture you selected. after you take a picture in timeshift burst, select a picture, then if you go to the gallery you will see one image. there is 3 buttons in the bottom right corner, the middle one is to change the picture, if you click on it you will get back to the screen you chose the picture from (as if you just took the picture right now and it's telling you to choose the picture you want to keep in gallery).
Probably the issue you're having is that G+ uploads all the 60 (they're 60 pictures, not 30) and shows them in the gallery. if you can remove G+ pictures from gallery, You'll be good to go.

yea its pretty annoying. i havnt tried to figure a way around it yet but maybe you could use foldersync to watch the folder where the timeshifts are saved, and get it to move them to another location, one that G+ doesnt listen to.
tasker might be another one to use. pick the photo you want to keep and copy it to the dcim/camera folder, then have a shortcut (swipepad is a handy way to launch tasks without leaving the current app) to get tasker to delete everything inside the timeshift folder

I want this feature too, but I think it's not possible, not that I've seen do it in the previous android phones..
You can always install other camera apps, like Snap Camera HDR is good, Manual Camera, Camera FV-5, DSLR Camera pro, with these app you can use other gallery apps.

Once Quickpic is installed, doesn't it ask you to choose the default app when you open a picture?

I don't have S6 but successfully did this in others models.
Here the clue, just replace the following :
"com.sec.android.gallery3d" => "com.alensw.PicFolder"
"com.sec.android.gallery3d.app.Gallery" => "com.alensw.PicFolder.GalleryActivity"
After that when click the gallery in the Camera App, it will open with QuickPic

Didn't really understand what to do.
You mean rename the folders in Android/data ?

De-compile the Camera App and search and replace those words in the smali files
"com.sec.android.gallery3d" => "com.alensw.PicFolder"
"com.sec.android.gallery3d.app.Gallery" => "com.alensw.PicFolder.GalleryActivity"
Re-compile back and replace the original apk.

Hi there, I don't have the S6 but I have the S5 and I use snap camera on it to remove the noise reduction.
Can you test it out and tell me if you can get the noise reduction removed and sharpness reduced?
Go to "Other" in Snap Camera, and select "Show Advanced Settings" and "Use OpenGLES 2.0". Go to Photo and tell me if you see "Denoise" under zero shutter lag. If not then make sure that in Other "Use Camera2 API" is not selected.
When you see Denoise, deselect it if it's selected and let me know if you see lots of noise. You'll get much more details in the pictures but more noise.
Thanks!

I like using QuickPic. It's very nice.

Even with Snap Camera and the "disable gallery" setting selected, it brings me into Snap Camera Gallery. How do I change this?

duplicating pictures from message app

Hello all,
Found a really strange thing.
I sent a picture from the stock message app ( also on t-mobile) . when I delete the picture from the gallery, it deletes the picture from the camera folder, but then adds the picture into a picture folder.
I have tried deleting the picture folder, but it keeps coming back and duplicating the images. I have tried this on all 3 of our Note 5's and it does it to all of them.
I have not been able to find a setting to turn this off, or a reason why it does it.
Anyone else know about this ?

Noticed that too, seems that itll create a separate folder with all the picture messages you send via text

Yeah, this is annoying. It's really one of the only gripes I have about the phone that I can't figure out. I don't want to use another gallery app and I don't want to root. Not sure how to fix it.

I hate this so much does anyone know how to fix it?

You just need to look at the camera album instead of using the time view.

That doesn't work.

Is this happening to anyone else or just some people?

Gallery problem mixing all photos in Camera Roll

Im having a problem WITH the gallery and is that when i receive a pic from let's say a whatapps group chat, it appears in the camera roll of the stock camera. Is there a walk around or fix to this?
Maybe change the gallery for another?
In the s7 this doesnt happens.
Thanks for the help

I'm facing the same issue, whole gallery is messed up. I have thousands of pictures neatly sorted in different folders and gallery mixes them all up together and shows them in date order, absolutely the last thing i want.
post a fix if you find one.

Bump

anyone having this problem?

not having this problem.
Are you guys using "Albums"?
pictures or events will go by date
albums will be by folder A-Z and in each photo it will be by date

No dont use it. But i use other apps and there photos either go into a folder download or its labelt with the apps name.
So it could be a problem with whatsapp downloading into the dcim folder.

Oh ok i think i get what your saying.
You go to gallery and its in WA alone with your camera folder download etc...
But when you open the camera app and scroll through the pictures. You see all your folders mix in by date?
VS only whata in the camera folder?

Exactly. in the s7 you will see only the pics taken not every pic by date

Yea i just tested that out.
I dont remember it doing that on the s7 edge.
It probably has to do with the new camera app.
If enough peopke submit it to samsung via online chat or calling then. They will end up fixing it.
Simply tell then its a Security risk.
I remember they updated the s7 edge. Befor you could doble tap to open camera. Take a picture then view the other pictures in the camera phot.
When they updated it it has a lock screen and wont let you view the other photos until you unlock the phone.

Is gallery part of Samsung software or is it part of Android?

gallery is android but the camera app is sumsung.
And the problem is the way they are talking to each other.
but both app start from the basic android code so its possible they coded the gallery different, but most of the time the gallery remands the same and the camera app is the only one that gets change.
I remember pull camera app from different phones long ago.

When you open gallery, it defaults to show all pics together, from all different folders, sorted by date. Now, inside gallery you can choose albums tab, that shows it properly in folders, but when camera access gallery, you dont get album option anymore and it's a mess. It's gallery issue, I don't like the way it works now, but I guess I would have to be rooted to install older version? And we don't have root yet, SUCKS.

Haha good question....the photo gallery is sorting and displaying in a strange way....newest on the bottom and u have to scroll up to see older ones.
Any other app even messaging ones display newest on the top so the phone gallery app is pretty annoying.

Yeap hope OPPO can let us set it in our preferred way, it annoying when you got a lot of photos on top but need to scroll all the way down to see the new shot that we make.
