Has anyone seen this? What happens is that if I take a picture with my Droid 3, I can view it on the phone itself. But if I copy the .jpg file to a computer and try to open it, Windows picture viewer tells me:
"Windows Photo Viewer can't open this picture because the file appears to be damaged, corrupted, or is too large."
If I tried connecting with a usb cable and opening the files directly from the memory card and get the same error. If I try to open the files with Gimp (either from the card or having copied it to the computer first) I get an error from that too (see attached screen shot).
I wondered if it was the built in camera app causing the issue so I downloaded a different camera app called ProCapture but see the same problem.
But.....if I open the picture on the phone and choose "share" and email it to my computer, when it arrives on the computer as an email attachment, it will open fine.
Any ideas? I'm running the .906 leaked version, rooted and debloated using Titanium backup but with the stock camera app in place - though it doesn't matter if I use the stock camera or procapture - same symptoms either way.

I bought a security camera system for my bar. The software allows for me to view it remotely through IE, and also allows me to save the video to computer. The problem is when I tell it to record a feed and select where to save it to, it bascially saves it hidden or something?? Because it shows up nowhere, even if I save them to an empty folder if i do properties on the folder show no files or space taken.
The only way I have been able to access them is if i go back to the brower and attempt to save another video I can hit browse to select folder and it the files will actually appear in there and I can open them in quick time through that folder. But if I try to copy or move them out of there somewhere else it says file moved or no longer at orginal location or something like that.
I've read the manual and it doesnt mention anything about that, and I see no settings or anything to change. I have no idea how to get access to these files! Any ideas?
What is the make and model of the camera? What is the location it's saving them to?
Hi -
I had updated my XZ1 to 4.4.2. In the Album, there is an option Faces (which detects the faces) and asks to add names. So when I try to add name I get the message "Database Changed or Memory unavailable". The other problem I am facing is that my Camera storage was earlier on SD card. I still can see the photos on SD card thru the File Commander. The Album is not showing any of those photos but it shows the album art from my media folder. I am thinking both are connected in the sense that it has the cache of faces somewhere (I cleared data and cache multiple times) but it is not recognising the actual photo database for some reason so it is not able to write the name information (When I select the name option) to the actual photos.
Any suggestions..
I got it myself. Copy the photos some where else, then delete the DCIM folder. Now take one photo and you will see the DCIM folder again. Copy your old stuff back into that folder. You now have everything back.

Hi,
I've noticed in 8.1 version pictures - if attached to the email - are always resized.
Example:
- original picture shared via bluetooth: 2592x1456 pixel
- original picture sent via mail: 1632x916 pixel
I saw - with another lumia and wp7.8 - the same "issue".
Now with the 520 updated to wp8.1 nothing is changed.
Is there some setting/way in order to attach pictures to the email without losing resolution?
Thanks

Ok, if I don't want to use it?
It may work to use a file manager app (like Aerize Explorer, Files, Pocket File Manager, etc.) to select the file and choose to "share" it via Email. The resizing is probably being done via the Photos app, the other apps won't do that.
If it's still getting resized, put the file in a ZIP first and then email the ZIP. Some of the file manager apps can do that.
The obvious other option, since if for some reason full-size files are needed a PC is probably involved anyhow, is to copy the files off the phone (via USB, Bluetooth, whatever) and email them from the PC.

Thanks for your answer.
I'm searching the easier way to "share" pictures without losing resolution... considering that the user that use the phone isn't so good with tech... and if I tell her something like zip or something else the result can be deleterious...
Anyway, also for my knowledge (personally I'm not using WP) I will try your suggestions
Ah, gotcha. Yeah, if you want to do something like send everybody full-resolution photos from your vacation or whatever, copying them to the PC first is a good idea regardless. It *is* annoying that the app shrinks the photos before sending, but not really a huge surprise. WP8 tried pretty hard to reduce cellular data usage, and sending photos from a phone can use a lot of it if they're full-res.
It should also be pretty easy to make an app that just does photo sharing stuff, at full res (instead of using the built-in one). In fact, I'd be shocked if you (or your friend) can't already find a suitable one on the store.
A weird one here regarding file structure. Can you help? Have a pressed a crazy setting somewhere?
This has caused me to lose photos so quite important! I'd hate other to have this issue to without realizing!
If i take a photo on my phone. it goes to the SD Card/DCIM/100ANDRO folder.
If i go to ALBUM app and view that file and move it to another location (i.e SD Card/Backup) the file moves..
If i look at the photo again and look at its 'details' the folder location is showing the new location
If I use 'File Commander' app, it shows it has moved too to the new location.
All good!
If i then go to my laptop, and plug my USB into my phone (or view my phone files via the Wireless Media Transfer) and view my phone files. the photo has NOT moved location.
BUT, if i physically remove my mico SD card from my phone, place it into my card reader attached to my laptop, the SD card shows that the file HAS moved.
It seems the usb cable connectivity is not showing the updated file location.
How can this be?
Also. If i view the photo and move it via 'File Commander' app, according to my phone the file gets moved. But when i view my files via USB cable, the the file has been copied (not moved)to the new location, so now there is a duplicate.
And also, now according to the 'Album' app, the file has moved to it's new location but there is a corrupt image file in the old location.
Because I file manage via my phone and then manually connect via USB and back up files and file manage there too, because the file locations are different, I have managed to lose photos.
It seems i shouldn't use a USB cable to view my phone, but i should eject my micro SD and view it away from the phone! But Why?
Can anyone shed a light on this annoying problem/bug?
Thanks

Are you using a 'debloated' rom? Are you stopping the media server from running in any way, via amplify or greenify for example?
Make sure you have the correct drivers
A lot of Devs remove USB services from a build as it's big and takes up a lot of resources. If it's 5.1.1. build then you might be able to use Wajk's flashable missing services .
Hi there,
The phone is a month old, and only has apps from Google play on it. No custom ROM either.
I have developer options, but that's all..
I'll try the driver thing you mentioned soon to see if that helps.

Are you using a USB hub from the PC? Try plugging in the phone directly.
If you have developer options available, have you enabled USB debug?

No hub here, its a cable direct from the phone to the laptop. I've even tried different cables (not that that should make a difference).
and I the issue persists with developer on or off and with usb debugging on or off too.
Hey, could you do a favour? can you confirm that if your phone is plugged in via USB and you have windows explorer open on a folder with a photo in. (and you can see that file)
and then via your phone and ALBUM app you move that photo to a different location, that it moves it via your windows explorer too?
Thanks

I don't have USB working properly on my phone either, it doesn't show the contents of folders on the phone SD card, just empty folders, although I can copy/paste an item into a folder and it shows.
But I have a debloated rom and the USB funtions haven't been installed.
I doubt that windows will see any folder changes until you tell it to refresh (F5)
Hi
Is there any gallery app with which we can select pictures from a particular time like a month or week and delete the whole pics of the selection , have around 17000 pics in gallery and needs to delete many of particular time period .
I think "Focus go" can do that.

Just use a file manager app to select and delete the pics. Or connect phone to PC, browse the storage, and delete using your computer. You can easily decipher the picture's date from the file name (or the pic's metadata).
