Hi, on my P8 I could sort pictures in the gallery by pulling down the screen and set sort to date or name etc. Now I see no option, didn't saw it on Nougat and don't see it on Oreo. Am I missing something or is it just not there?

Its not there. Super annoying when doing a factory reset and restore the backup.
Only solution i found to this is buying a SD -card and change the camera option to save pictures to the SD-card, that way it will always have the correct date. Wont work with pictures you already have though.
I always use a external SD card, but still I find it annoying.

I've tried searching the forums and couldn't find anything, but on all other versions of android i've had my DCIM and Media folder on my sd card. Thats where my resources were, like my extra ringtones and pics. On Manup's last update (eclair v1.5 w\camera) my pics and ringtones from my DCIM and Media folder aren't available for use in my phone. Can anyone tell me if i'm doing something wrong or if this is a Eclair issue at the moment. I haven't heard of it being an eclair issue, but I figured maybe with the new framework, maybe you had to put it somewhere else on the SD card. Thanks in advance!
His rom is 2.1 and not 2.0.1, your sd might be the prob if you said you cant access or maybe you should try re-flashing the rom again to see if the issue continues. I used the came and have the camera folder on my sd.
Thanks for a quick reply Ace! I've reflashed twice already and when I take pics with the cam they show up in the DCIM but all my pics taken from the past and ones saved that have been sent to me wont show up in the gallery. The only ones that do are the ones i freshly take. I can actually hook my phone up to my Pc and see the newly taken pics next to the other ones but if i go to gallery it only shows the ones just taken. I tried going back to the latest cyanogen and they show up just fine along with the ones i just took.

Hi everyone. I have a strange gallery problem on my Galaxy S. This is different than the old gallery corrupt database because i tried that method and doesn't work (deleting the cache, dbata). Gallery photos start missing. So if i download some photos from Zedge , Redwall they are shown in gallery but after a time, for example if i restart the phone they are missing. Also the images taken with camera dissapear on restart. This problem happends also on froyo or gingerbread roms, fs or ext 4, on different gallery versions. In a moment it appears and i cannot resolve this. I suppose it's a media scanner problem but what to delete, what to fix because i tried all the methods (except sd card format) and it doesn't work . Anyone has this problem ? Any ideea about other things that i can do ?
how many pics do you have ??
my GF has this problem with her spica, she has 1000's of pictures, thats why it takes so long to load them. perhaps this is the same for you ?

Certainly not 1000 lets say about 300 in different locations (camera, zedge, redwall, icons folder) right now i try to remove them and make a test to see if it works. Thanks.
EDITED: It seems that the problem is just on the internal sdcard, if i move all the photos to the external card they appear in gallery.
ok i searched this issue but found nothing useful or helpful to fix this but every picture i take seems to dissappear after a few minutes and all i get is a gray triangle with an ! mark inside it for all pictures taken by the camera. anyone else have this issue?
im on bady boyz rom

h/k m8
No body is having issues with pictures not displaying correctly?? Im on ViperONEM8 rom but it did this on the stock rom and badboyz as well. must not be rom related but i dont know so sum one have any ideas what the issue is? thanks
Have you tried changing the storage location? Also, are you restoring your gallery each time you try a new ROM? You could have the folder hidden on accident and as you restore the gallery that folder becomes hidden again. See if you cannot find the photos another way, for example: Quickpic or ES File Browser.

thank you for helping.
unfortunately yes i did try changing the storage location, in the camera app i changed it to ext sdcard & phone storage both same issue. also i used the Xposed module "Downloads2SD" & "Pictures2SD" both to change the location but still same issue. as for restoring my gallery, no i dont restore it at all when installing new rom. unless somehow it automatically restores from my google account but i dont think it does.
I also have used Root Browser & ES File Explorer to look in every directory on phone and sdcard for the pictures and they cant be found anywhere.
thanks again for replying and trying to help appreciate it much. any other ideas tho?

What happens when you use a different camera app? If that doesn't work either I would suggest an RUU. If an RUU doesn't work I would suggest returning the phone.

still not working with other camera apps. im gonna try RUUing once and see if it still does it. i took a few pics today and all seemed fine until i went to view them later on then they were just displaying the gray triangle thing.. one pic was there and viewed fine one sec then the next its just like the others. i just looked in the gallery now and it shows the previews of these pics but i tap to open them and get the triangle again. its weird & really frustrating i took tons of great pics over the time with this phone and lost them all from this, except of course the stupid test shots ive taken of my wall or whatever pointless shots.. they seem to stay fine its just the important ones that wont.. aarrrghhh gonna RUU right now.
here is a screenshot of what displays for the pictures.. View attachment 2782818

I am having the same issue i moved all my pictures to the external storage card to free up space but now the pics are in limbo i cant find them i just have the triangle where they use to be. the same thing holds true for apps
im beginning to suspect that KK write protection with the external sdcard is the culprit for this but im on viperonem8 and have tried the fixes i found that are suppose to fix the write protection issue and still having same issues. so anyone have any working fixes at all please let us know thanks

I am having the exact same issue and it is frustrating as hell. Especially when I get a great picture, then I go to show someone and it is ****ING GONE.. The only way that I can seem to save them if is when I take them, I immediately share them. After doing extensive research, I have narrowed it down to 2 possible issues.
1) The SD card is somehow corrupted, I purchased a 64GB SD card from eBay and I just recently read about an SD card scandal that was going on which could be the culprit. To test this, I am first going to try with a smaller card that I know works. If that doesn't work, I am going to have the pictures stored on the phone and see if that keeps them.
2) This problem really started to show itself after I downloaded an app called OneGallery, I don't really know if that has anything to do with it, or if it is completely coincidence. If replacing the SD card doesn't work, deleting this app will be the next step.
I love the phone too much to just turn it in or swap it out.

Apologies if this is in the wrong place, but I've searched and can't seem to find this issue anywhere so am in need of help.
Issue:
Open camera (stock) on the P9 and take photo, shows up in the gallery box in corner, if I exit camera photo is fine. The problem arises if I then try to take another photo straight after the first i.e. person didn't smile the camera won't take a photo and when I exit and re-enter camera (or gallery) the photo is just green lines.
I've played around with settings and changed memory card but am still getting the same issue, is there something I'm not doing setting wise or is it a fault with the camera?
Thanks in advance.
You mean like the one below? I've had it happen to me a few times - primarily during low light shots. If I exit the camera app and come back, the next set of photos then seem to be fine.
I think it's a software problem - I recollect seeing a change log for build 136 which indicated there was a fix for it. I'll try to find the log and post the relevant details.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes exactly like that one, however it's during any kind of shot not just low light ones. I have had the problem since I had the phone and initially the problem did go away if I exited the app and came back but now it's every time, the only way to not have that happen to the photos is if I exit and renter after every photo - which kind of spoils the spontaneity.
Thanks I'd appreciate that.

Here's an image showing the relevant content for the B136 update.
Thanks for that, I've tried downloading the B136 about 5 times now, from different locations and following different instructions, unfortunately it either fails or once downloaded the extraction fails or the software install fails.
Just to say thanks again, I downloaded it to PC and copied it across instead and it's updated and solved the issue.

Glad to hear that 136 fixed your issue. What version of the P9 do you have? And what build have you downloaded?
I'm on the 134 build for my P9 L-09 - still waiting for the update for my geo (C636).
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
