[Q] Viewing Imported Photos in Gallery

I am coming from a One X (att) and I dropped all of my photos from my One X into the 100 Media folder of my One.
When I go into my gallery, I can only see like 2 of these pics along with the photos that I have taken on my One.
Any way to be able to see all my photos in the gallery?

seems like your having a similar issue to me. Would you mind downloading an image off the net from your phone and saving it to your downloads and see if it appears in gallery?

Just downloaded this and it showed up fine...

Sucks for me. :/ Can't get anything to appear in my gallery besides screenshots and camera taken pictures. It sucks. Have no idea what to do.

Well... good news is... it's trivial... I am sure it will get worked out by someone non-noobish (not me) soon.
In the meantime... badass phone

go to "my photos" then change it to "albums"

Tried this... No joy.

How do you get to camera settings - the other settings?

Was at a Verizon store yesterday played with the X, very nice device, one thing I couldn't locate/figure out, nor could the rep....
how do you change pic/video mp size before taking the pic/video?
Are all the pics taken in 10mp size (or a different default size), or can that be adjusted?
If so, where can Those settings be found?
The standard settings section had the basics, HDR, flash, Geo, tap to focus, slo mo, gesture etc. I just couldn't locate where to change the size of pics and video.
(Btw the X's they had at store were not on kit kat, so I know camera wasn't on latest firmware)
Anyone know?

The settings you found in the app are the only settings there are. They REALLY dumbed down the camera app. I hate how little you can control on it.

I'm coming from a 2.5+ year HTC Thunderbolt, and the Moto X is a real neat device.
But I think it's the only phone I know of that you can't preset the size pic/video you'd like.
Kind of strange, considering past dumb phones I had could do this.
Taking pics and video in the highest mp will definitely fill up the phone's memory fast.
Maybe future firmware will allow this, who knows.

I was a little peeved when I found out the picture/video size couldn't be adjusted. I told myself I didn't need all that crap from the S3 so I got the MotoX and then turned out that one small thing would drive me nuts.

Just go find an app in the market. Camera+ is one

That may be a possible solution... but this seems an absolutely silly omission from the stock camera app (especially the video).

Problem is, will 3rd party camera app launch with wrist flick, plus the tap to take pic and keep finger down for multiple is nice, as well as taking pics while recording a video, I don't think these features will work with a 3rp party app.
Motorola X exterior is customizable, they built a whole website for that customizable part, can even add a name to boot, but customize a photo before taking it, oh boy.
And I completely understand they wanted to create a phone that just works for the average Joe, but at the least they could have had maybe a 5mp and 2mp preset under the default 10mp. They can still keep white balance etc.
Plus I think camera would be even faster taking 2mp pics (not that it has to be).
Like mentioned, maybe they'll pick up on this and change in future firmware (which is at least possible to do).

Camera w/Date

In trying to find a camera app the automatically puts the date of the picture in the photo.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Galaxy Note 3 "The Beast"

I have tried this one. It will bring up a preview after you take the picture and you can chose to put the time stamp. Not sure if there is any that automatically put one there. The default camera app has the date of the picture but doesn't stamp it.
Check out "StampPhoto"

Any root camera mods?

I've been meaning to root my gs5 but I'm wondering if there's any camera mods. Aside from debloating, increased camera performance is really all I need (it usually takes me about 3-5 tries to get a non blurry picture) but I'm worried that once I'm rooted, I can't complain to att and get a new s5 since it might be a hardware problem
Tl;dr anyone found a good camera mod or know someone who is working on one?

i opened a thread about this and have still yet to find a solution... i might have to go back to using a 3rd party app.. CameraZoom+ worked pretty decent for me on my previous s4 and note3.
i have noticed that turning on "Tap to take pic." and tapping the screen to capture the photo has been working decent.

I noticed the tap to take pics does help a bit but that's very strange. Could this be a hardware problem?

possibly.. i noticed that when the camera snaps the pic and it flashes the white boarders.. that particular moment doesnt seem to be the actual moment that the photo is taken.. so maybe when the screen flashes, we think the photo is taken and move our hands out of instinct ?

I have yet to take a blurry picture. I don't understand why so many people are having this problem. The only thing I did was turn off picture stabilization. Well...that and I make sure the image is in focus on the screen before i shoot.

nexus camera....meh
Though the nexus camera works great on the nexus line I've noticed on my so when I use it to capture something that is moving like my child there is a delay in capture...the screen will flash with what I thought I got but when I look at the picture it will be a delayed shot often missing what I wanted. The Samsung camera is not alol that bad.

This only happens when I use the Google camera...doesn't happen when using the Samsung camera.

Yeh I don't get it either, I never take blurry photos. See so many complaints on here and other forums and no clue why, my friends S5 doesn't take blurry pics either. I only turned off pic stabilization. I just make sure the the image is in focus before shooting.

Has everyone removed the factory plastic off the lens?

Going in and out of gallery from the camera app is slow. Is it just me?

Pretty fast here.

Maybe try using the photos app from google+ instead of the stock gallery app.

It takes about 3-4 seconds to go from WITHIN the camera app to view the picture taken.

Yeah, I see that, same here. Not really a big deal for me, as I very rarely click to go to gallery from within camera.

Only takes about a second for me. Only got about a few hundred pictures I think.

I have 405 pictures on my external SD card, plus probably around 100 or so on the internal.
Took me about 5 Seconds.

Pictures and videos not showing up for review

Not sure if this is just my phone but after I take a picture or video I can't view it in the camera app. Everything is just blank/black. Is anyone else having their problem and is there a fix for it besides doing a factory reset? I've cleared the cameras data and set it up again but it's still doing it. Thanks for the help in advance everyone.

Do you have Google Photos app disabled by any chance?

Nope it's on, but I don't have backup on because I don't like using the photos app. Weird I know but I prefer to have my photos on my device only

I agree. I don't use the backup either but I disabled Photo app and after a while went by I notice no reviews in camera app. I enable Photos and my reviews came back. It was mentioned on a site I can't remember but it worked for me.

Once they give free unlimited original size uploads I might go back to photos

Is it like your own cloud storage with an automatic backup or you gotta do it manually and can only access at home? I've seen something years ago that gives you your own cloud storage with whatever hard drive you want but Google Photos and Google Drive is just so convenient and good, especially their searching.

Like I said though, even though I have photos enabled but backup off the reviews on the camera don't work.

It's automated for the most part. Yes, I can access remotely when not home.
