[Q]Sony Album App - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. This might come as something someone has asked before.
It bugs me so I wanna ask if any one knows a way to this.
When I open the Sony Album App, is it in anyway, possible that it starts from the "My Albums" tab instead of "Pictures" tab.
It will be nice in a way where I get to see my folders first, not just list of pictures that don't even tally to the date they were taken sometimes.
Any tweaks?
Thanks.

Since the the X8 and the X10 are not very far off I thought I would try but none of that worked, does anyone have a clue of how to display MY image/avatar in messages, I did all the steps that I could from that post and nothing.
INFO: X8 Froyobread v0.23b - with UI CyanogenMod CM7 v 2.2.1
thanks in advance for the help.
FYI. It's not really important i just like to see a good image through my sms conversations.
Just save your own number to your contacts then add a picture to it then your picture will show up in conversions

No buddy I did that just like that post said to and no good.
So I've added my own number to the contacts.
I checked other options and still nowhere to be found.
what else can possible be a solution? any other thoughts, anyone?
EDIT: Nevermind people thanks for the help, didn't realize that a lot of changes can be done after you restart your phone. got my image in the avatar working great. just having my own number in the contacts helped.
Try go sms pro sir. It is much better than stock sms. I even remove the stock from my phone.

Not a bad point, how can I remove the stock I already have Handcent on mine and its way cooler with lots of mods, but it keeps interfering with my stock when i receive i have to be checking on both to remove notifications.
I would also like to remove, MAPS, Market, Gmail (Things that I can't use since I'm outside of the US and no internet connection unless WI-FI)

[Q] Bugs on Zoe and Gallery Issues

Loving the Zoe feature in general and it's definitely the One's stand out feature IMHO. However, I think I'm finding a few bugs. I was trying to select the images for the highlight video and, obviously, because Zoe is kinda random I find that I'm often going back and re-selecting different clips.
However, yesterday and today I found that despite not selecting a clip, that clip still showed in the highlight video. The only way I could stop it from happening was to delete it from that particular event folder. This was really frustrating for me. Anyone else have this issue?
Also, with the albums, there doesn't seem to be an easy way of moving images from one folder to another...I don't think it's even possible. Any one got an idiots guide to doing this?
Yup, same issue here with Zoe. It is such a great feature but selecting which items are included doesnt work at all?! :-/
This is fixed in 1.29 base.

How to check which firmware I'm on? I'm coming from iOS so finding stuff out doesn't seem as simple!
EDIT: Found it - I'm on 1.28. How do I update the firmware?
You need to have at least 13 clips, so it will select all if you have less than this. That's why when you start selecting it says 0/13.

Try it with over 13 clips. You will notice that although some arent selected, they are still often included.
I find this quite a pain as I may go to the beach with my dogs and take a load of photos of them, then I'll go out that same evening and watch some live music at a bar and take some more photos. So natually, a zoe video with those mixed together wouldnt make any sense, so I would go in and just select items for the dogs on the beach or just the music at the bar but the other items still apear.
Pehaps you have the later "1.29 base." MacHackz made reference to?

[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

Hide whatsapp images/video from Sony Album

Hi Guys,
I'm having a huge problem, coming from IOS is a huge change.
Android is so open! (in a good way) anyway on IOS whatsapp images/videos never show on the stock photo album...
Android is totally different it shows everything! not good when your nephew is able to get hold of the phone..and let's say there's some pics I don't want him to see which the mrs sent...
I've been through the .nomedia way of doing it which works when using QuickPic as the photo viewer which I'm happy with as my photo viewer now...But I really hate Sony's own version but it doesn't work with Sony Album app the pics are all viewable also I cannot UN-install the app also which makes it findable if your looking through all apps.
Surely there is a easy way around this? with how many people in the world with ANDROID & WHATSAPP...
Any help?
Thanks
EDIT 1: Seems if you press SHOW HIDDEN in QUICK PIC it shows all the pictures again!
EDIT 2: You can set a password to see the hidden files so that's sorted

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?
