I cant get the phone to stop automatically selecting photos it deems highlights from any album on my phone.
I uncheck the highlight from custome albun it was moved to, delete it from highlights album... Within the hour the phone has added it back in.
Please God someone help... This is a GIANT PRIVACY ISSUE

If I'm correct it highlights the pictures you click on (view) the most it's not a privacy issue since it doesn't even transmit the data to HTC or anyone else. It happens to me too from time to time.
So a highly connected device moving files from a protected location to a shared location by itself is not a privacy issue?

It doesn't move the location of the picture, it just links it to a folder in the gallery for quick viewing access. That's all.

I see what big is talking about though. If someone is looking at his phone, someone might see pictures they weren't intended to see that would otherwise be hidden from view.

Then un highlight them? If you say it keeps highlighting photos you don't want to be highlighted then it'd probably be a good idea to go into settings>apps>all>media storage and clear the data from it, as well as the gallery app. Then do a reboot and let the gallery settle
This also drives me crazy. I'm constantly un-highlighting my photos and there's no way to turn that feature off

BTW I completely deleted the highlights album. 2 days later it had rebuilt itself, and pulled photos on my phone again from wherever it liked.

This.
I did this on my first day. In the settings of the gallery app, go to hide albums, and check the albums you want to hide.
This is actually a cool feature and it's even cooler that you can opt out of it. I see no privacy concerns at all. If someone is looking at your pics, your entire gallery is there for them to flick through.... unless you are seriously concerned with someone knowing which pictures you look at most frequently... in that case, don't let people get to your phone.
EDIT: I just realized how angry my post sounded... that was not intentional. I hope I didn't come off as a jerk!
Does the highlight album take up storage space?
This is a privacy issue...My highlighted photos go up on Twitter. I don't even post any personal pics on Twitter, or face book.
I'm very pissed with this auto feature. If I wanted someone to see them I'd post them.
How do u permanently turn it off. ????

I've looked at all the apps I can find in the market that allow you to store provate pics but they all seem to not be up to scratch with either failing at being truly private (I don't think I saw any that used proper encryption) and/or don't have a proper viewer or slideshow option. Does anyone know if such an app exists with proper encryption and a decent viewer?

+1 on photovault! I use the videovault wich is the same but for vids.
It seems to do well with all my flics!!
I used to use Pandora, works well but then i got tired of it, since i just kinda store the pics and videos there after taking them, not really used for viewing. so what i do is make a folder using the included file explorer thing, and name it with a discrete name like.....97taxreturns....lol, and make sure to put a "." in front of the folder name, then i put all my stuff in there. its hidden from the gallery and the file explorer unless you use "menu-->show hidden"
but pandora is pretty nice to for the porn addicts.

U have a "thanks" button.
Next time u store these things, store them all in one "base" folder. This way u can delete this one folder and the contents - sub-folders and files would be auto-deleted.
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.

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.

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.

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...

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...

Hey guys,
This is an app I've been working on and wanted to share it with you guys. Development has been slow, but it's going to start picking up and wanted to get some constructive feedback from you guys. It's a simple app that locks the picture on top of you lock screen so you can show it to friends, family, etc. and they can't scroll through your other pictures. If they try to go into your phone, they will be locked out. It's a paid app (only $1), but if you really don't like it the play store offers a refund within a time limit. If you're really interested in reviewing it and giving me feedback but don't or can't pay, send me a pm and I can make you a beta tester. Thanks! Link to the play store is below:

Hi All,
I got the Nexus 6 a few weeks ago and I like it pretty well though I'm having a hard time figuring out how to work it lol. One major thing I'm not understanding - it seems to have no picture storage in the phone itself that I can find. Is this correct? There's no "Gallery" or anything - all I can get into is my google photos. Which would be okay I guess except that not everything saves to Google Photos. For example:
Last night I took a picture with the camera app I use (Camera 360) and edited it in another app (don't remember which one - it was an in memory pic so I just needed to add some text). Anyways, I saved it and it said it was saving to the phone, however, it's not anywhere in the google photos. I couldn't find it anywhere. But then when I went to Facebook it popped up in my options to upload a photo. So it has to be saving somewhere!
I also have a lot of issues with photos from Camera 360, Instagram, FB, and other apps doing the same thing - they'll show in my FB options or if I click within the Camera 360 app on the preview area but they don't show in Google Photos or anywhere else on the phone.
Can anyone explain this to me please?
Thanks!

I actually had that on my last phone and liked it but there was a weird glitch on my old phone where it wouldn't let me delete anything. Even if I deleted pics from the phone gallery they would still show in QuickPic. Then if I tried to delete them in there it gave me a weird error. I could probably try it on the new phone again here though!
I did download the file manager and that seems like it will work perfect.

Do consider backing it up to the cloud. That way, if your phone dies or gets lost/damaged, you won't be stuck trying to figure out how to recover your pictures. Google Photos app gives you unlimited storage for your photos (just don't choose "original resolution"). The photo/video will still be there on your phone, but will have a backup on the cloud.

Hmm. I'm confused. Maybe I do this and just didn't know it was called the cloud? Right now my photos from my last like 4 phones are in my "Google Photos" and I can access them all on any phone I've had, on the computer, etc. So they're already stored in Google Photos?
Yes, I do the same. Tap the menu icon on the left side of Goole Photos App, and then tap "Device Folders",
This will show OP all the local camera photos in DCIM, as well as any screenshots/downloads, etc

Go to photos.google.com and sign in with your google account. See if your photos are showing there. If yes, then you are good - they are being backed up. You can verify the settings in the photos app on your phone too - settings/backup and sync. Verify that it is on, and that upload size is high quality (or you can choose original - but that will not be unlimited)
