...and few more problems
Got my S3 mini yesterday...was on HTC Desire over 2 years
1) I can't change Lock Screen wall...everything's gone fine 'till finishing..press Save and nothin' gonna happen. Through Quick Pic and through Gallery
2) When I turn off Google Voice Typing and restart device, GVT is turn on again...and is the same after every restart. Always running after restart even turn it off in the settings...
3) Can't access files on SD card with ES file explorer. I just took SD from Desire and put it in Mini...Is Ext4 on SD card...maybe it's wrong...should I back to Ext2 or something else?
So..can access images and sounds, but through gallery or when I need to change some sound, but can't access any files and folders through ES file explorer
4) Alarm is on for whole week mornings, and there's no any icon in taskbar...strangely. On Desire it was there all the times and it was on lock screen too, but on Mini it's not even on lock screen
Sorry if my english is not perfect but I think that you understand what I wanted to say

Havn't been able to do that either in gallery, but it works fine if you choose edit and bring up photo editor. From there you can "set as.." and it works.
Ok thanks I'll try and post after that
Does not work
I did it when I removed QuickPic i tried again and it was ok
Now please, somebody answer on questions 2, 3, and 4 if know answers
AW: Can't change lock screen...

Nope...Alarm clock plus. Because I can change melodies. In stock alarm app I can't change melodies. Can use only stock melody..
I called customer service and they said that something's going wrong with firmware, and I have to take the phone to the service...
All my mysteries gone :laugh:
Evening all..
So I've had a quick look through the forums, and not really seeing much about this...
I'm finding that the stock album/gallery app, although brilliant, is really annoying me! When you load the app, it shows the "Pictures" tab.. which appears to be ALL images it finds on the device (regardless of '.nomedia' files exising) The thing I'm finding the most annoying about this, is if I send someone a photo on whatsapp, or they send me one, it shows in this pictures tab. So If I take a picture, then send it to someone, it shows up as a duplicate image. A bit frustrating because I like the app!
Has anyone found a way of making it respect .nomedia files? Coming from CM10.1 on my old phone, so used to seeing it all in different folders.. can't remember if they were hidden before or not..
Thanks!

Yeah, I was thinking about where I would store white/blacklists for media if I would be ignoring the tools that have been given to me by Android OS (given the fact that they are ignoring the .nomedia files). As my phone is not rooted I am not able to explore the sqlite databases, but maybe someone with a rooted phone could have a look? It's a long shot, but it's worth trying . I'll be rooting my phone as soon as it's possible without unlocking the BL (and I know I might be waiting for a loooooong while, but it happened with the Motorola RAZR, so I figured as this device is officially unlockable developers might be able to find an exploit sooner?).

First thing I tried, thought maybe I was making the .nomedia file incorrectly. No dice i'm afraid!
.nomedia should work, but it might take a while before the media library does a full rescan. Reboot the phone, connect it to PC and move a file to it, ... Those things could trigger it.

Nomedia works until you add another photo to that folder

the same thing is annoying me!! i came from s3 and i was using a custom rom with i don't know which album type... i've been looking all over the place for a solution or a way of porting the album from another rom or the phone!! is there any?
I also like the Album application and wish it gets "fixed"
Sony disregarding the ".nomedia" files is weird, since its android's standard way of dealing with media, although the ".nomedia" files are a really bad solution in itself since they provide no configuration options: Either you have media scanned or not (I hate having album covers appearing mixed up with my photos in the gallery, but cannot add a ".nomedia" file since that would make the system not find my music). Adding files with a specific key name in a folder manually is not a user friendly way of managing what folders to scan.
I always wondered why Android does not provide a system level interface to define what media to scan and where.
PS: The N900 provided a file where the scan paths and supported file types could be configured. I feel like android gave a step back in this regard comparing to maemo/meego.
Have you guys find out any way to hide images from Sony album app..?

If you have a folder with pics which you don't wanna see in album app:
create a text file on PC with name .nomedia without content (nothing before the point!). Then move the text file in to this folder.
Hmm or is this only for songs??!^^ you have to try
You can also use apps to hide pics or videos like keepsafe or something.

Aha, ok.
And then you have to delete .nomedia and take it again in? Or doesn't will hide again?
And when you restart?
We have to clear cache of album and media storage everytime to hide images in album app
Ok.. Thx for trying. Then the only thing which we can use is an app..

This super annoys me to. In fact a couple of things annoy me with the app.
Here is my wish list for the Sony Album app.
1. That upon opening, it should start with the "My Albums" tab
2. That there be an option to sort photos other than date.
3. That when I want to select a wallpaper form my album app right from the home screen, I am not bombarded with the whole long list of 5000 photos. It should present me with folders to choose from.
4. If it wants to stick to displaying the "Pictures" tab as default upon opening, it should at least start with displaying only the camera album. Then a small shortcuts to enter all folders at once.
5. If it wants to stick to sorting only by date, it should at least follow the exif data of pictures. Sometimes after flashing a new ROM, I find my taken pictures in wrong orders. Most recent at the bottom and old ones at the top.

zoe mode allows you to create a nice slideshow from pics you took. in this mode you can also selsect by hand with pic you want to use in the slideshow, and oh surprise, it s still grab picture you didn t selected :/ any idea why?
It does the same on mine aswell.
When you choose "Select Content", how many pictures does it let you choose from?
Mine shows 3/13 so if yours is similar then it could automatically choose everything because there aren't enough images to choose from.
Sent via my HTC One using XDA Premium
even if you choose 13 pics it ll still pick up some xternal ones to your selection :/
Yeah mine does the exact same thing, and I know two other guys who have the same issue.. One way around it is to view content first in "album view", under "camera shots". Then press and hold the zoe clips you want, select "move to", then create a new folder and transfer the clips you actually want to see there.. Now when you return to "events" you'll see the album you've just created alongside today's events. Just select all the clips in that folder and your done.. It is a shame that you have to go the long way round to do such a simple task though, has anybody heard any info on a possible update to sort this out?
Hello guys.

You must be rooted and have a deodexed ROM though... If not then you'll break your gallery app.

thats why i ca hide nothing.
when i join my photos and push the ... button there is "hide/show" albums.

I don't think the others understand exactly what you're asking...
Here's the link to my post where I asked the same question last week - the method with ES Explorer works 100%, I'm using it now - but root access and system write is required. I'm unsure about the 'engine freeze' method in Titanium Backup in one of the comments, so you could try that...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41236599#post41236599
There's always pressing the menu in gallery main screen -> add online service -> disable Facebook. But that logs you out of Facebook and puts the pictures back once you log back in again...

I see what you mean. I never noticed it before. I think these photos are stored online, so they don't take up phone storage (except for the first picture used in the gallery). So I really don't mind it myself.

Hello,
I always used the HTC Backup function with dropbox.
On Dropbox there was a folder called "App" -> "HTC Backup"
Now I want to switch to Google Drive and the backup to google drive was also successful, but I can't find a folder in Google Drive like in Dropbox?
Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Thanks
~Maik

pretty sure it is hidden. If you go under the cog menu and choose manage apps, scroll down you will see htc one. But the size is very small, at least for me, so I am not sure what it is backing up. I never used the dropbox option so I am not sure how this compares.

No, I dind't find anything.
But I think it's like eerikk2 said, it's hidden.
If you got to google drive -> Settings menu -> Manage Apps you will find HTC Services.
I don't know if you can make the HTC files visible, and I never tested if I can restore these files ^^
Still no place exactly where the information is being saved?
