I've had the phone for a week now, and really liking it more than I expected. Coming from S4, where I rommed regularly, usually GPE variants, and finding I like the LG OS skin a lot.
A question though: I have the photo preview icon in lower corner of camera set to do Google Photos. I'd rather change it now to the LG Gallery app, but I can't see where to make that change. Tried defaults in settings>apps, but don't see it there either. Any suggestions?
One other issue I'm having is that I can't run google calendar. I've loaded it, removed it, re-installed it, and I get an error every time I try to launch it. Any idea why that is?
Thanks in advance.

Did you try clearing defaults for the google photos app? If I recall, you do it by going settings --> apps --> google+, and clearing defaults there, but I honestly can't recall for sure. Its been a while since I've done it.
Thank you - that did it for the camera issue. I forgot that the photos thing was actually google+.

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?
Im having a problem WITH the gallery and is that when i receive a pic from let's say a whatapps group chat, it appears in the camera roll of the stock camera. Is there a walk around or fix to this?
Maybe change the gallery for another?
In the s7 this doesnt happens.
Thanks for the help
I'm facing the same issue, whole gallery is messed up. I have thousands of pictures neatly sorted in different folders and gallery mixes them all up together and shows them in date order, absolutely the last thing i want.
post a fix if you find one.
Bump
anyone having this problem?
not having this problem.
Are you guys using "Albums"?
pictures or events will go by date
albums will be by folder A-Z and in each photo it will be by date

No dont use it. But i use other apps and there photos either go into a folder download or its labelt with the apps name.
So it could be a problem with whatsapp downloading into the dcim folder.

Oh ok i think i get what your saying.
You go to gallery and its in WA alone with your camera folder download etc...
But when you open the camera app and scroll through the pictures. You see all your folders mix in by date?
VS only whata in the camera folder?

Exactly. in the s7 you will see only the pics taken not every pic by date
Yea i just tested that out.
I dont remember it doing that on the s7 edge.
It probably has to do with the new camera app.
If enough peopke submit it to samsung via online chat or calling then. They will end up fixing it.
Simply tell then its a Security risk.
I remember they updated the s7 edge. Befor you could doble tap to open camera. Take a picture then view the other pictures in the camera phot.
When they updated it it has a lock screen and wont let you view the other photos until you unlock the phone.

Is gallery part of Samsung software or is it part of Android?

gallery is android but the camera app is sumsung.
And the problem is the way they are talking to each other.
but both app start from the basic android code so its possible they coded the gallery different, but most of the time the gallery remands the same and the camera app is the only one that gets change.
I remember pull camera app from different phones long ago.
When you open gallery, it defaults to show all pics together, from all different folders, sorted by date. Now, inside gallery you can choose albums tab, that shows it properly in folders, but when camera access gallery, you dont get album option anymore and it's a mess. It's gallery issue, I don't like the way it works now, but I guess I would have to be rooted to install older version? And we don't have root yet, SUCKS.

Tell then its software related, because a few of your friends phone have this problen and your believe it shoukd be fix. Ill chat with them later today also.
Alright, this is a problem.
The first time I thought I accidentally pressed something, then it happened again and again.
I did some research and found multiple others running into the same problem while running stock OOS 10.
When browsing, I would randomly see/hear my aux camera pop open for a half second and close again.
This is obviously creepy
I found that both Firefox and Chrome had camera permissions that I did not explicitly give them. Also creepy.
So I disabled camera permissions and cleared cache. It stopped for a short period (maybe a week) and just now it happened again. Firefox has again somehow regained camera permissions and is accessing my camera while browsing.
Is this happening on other devices and it's just more obvious on our Aux cameras?
If there are any logs that I can provide that will assist in determining wtf is causing this and what is giving Firefox camera permissions, please let me know and I would be happy to provide them the next time this happens.

Get some logcat and upload with the post, lets see which activity is calling camera. If you don't know logcat look on xda how to capture it.

That's weird. I've persomally never had any browser try to use my camera without my permission.
So strange enough, it happened right after I read this and was looking up a couple recommendations for apps to generate a logcat...
So I have alogcat installed...
Do I have to start the logging and try to reproduce the issue while it is recording? Is there any ways to have this constantly running and just take a copy of the log file when this happens again? It seems really sporadic

Check Firefox and Chrome and see if yours shows camera permissions granted

I use Bromite and the only permission I granted is storage permission.
The only time a browser asked me if I wanted to grant camera is when taking a picture to upload something on the spot (ie: imgur, Facebook)

Same here. I haven't used anything like that recently, and definitely haven't granted permission after the first time this happened but they have been re-enabled multiple times, specifically with Firefox.
Doesn't solve your problem at all, but I can say that has never happened to me.
I would suspect there is some other app installed or a Trojan that is triggering this behaviour.
Have you also ran some virus scan?
Try Malwarebytes and a couple more similar ones to get different signatures and see if they catch any odd app in there.
theres easy fix for this about:config they camera in search like pic hope that fixes it for you guys or oin Android settings apps , app permission click camera turn off
Hi
i am unable to save any picture on my phone.
- download from fb not working.
- camera not working.
- printscreen not working.
all the problems started after updating my phone to latest MIUI update 13.0.3 global
any idea what's wrong here ??
Any error displayed?
sorry, wrong account again.
and no, just a toast saying couldn't save image , when i take a screenshot.
for facebook app, no error, but no photo is saved, the camera app just crashes without saving.
it has been 2 weeks now, the support suggested a factory reset, and i wont do it its too much backup and work, i believe there might be an easy way.

Seems like permissions to save to to sd card somehow got revoked. From the sounds of it since multiple apps are involved, factory reset might be better. You can use an app like Swiftbackup(cannot save data if not rooted unless you use shizuku) which will save lot of time and effort.

you sure ? because even for local storage, still same problem.
No idea what changed, facebook can save images now ! but only facebook, apps like 9gag can't, comics and manga can since ever.
Any updates ?
I found the solution, posted on reddit, precisely :

Ok. The solution is to turn off dual app support, reboot, and then turn dual apps back on again and reenable the ones you want back.
Annoying, but it works.
Screenshots work again also.
Hope this works for you, like it did for me.
Settings>Apps>Dual Apps>Hexagon>Delete dual apps' accounts>wait 5 seconds>Delete>Reboot
