Hey,
For years I have been on Apple and have been jealous of Android users who could do almost anything they want, which as an Apple user I could not .
Recently I moved to Samsung and found that actually with very basic thing, Android has one big limitation (unless I havent found the solution which is hidden) .......
When using the Wathsapp, I don't want photos I get will automatic be store in the gallery due to both storage issue and content I don't want that they will find their way to the gallery ...... hence I turned off the auto save option when every photo i do want to save i will have to chose and save it.
At Apple this option was really simple, I would go into a chat and pick the photos I was interested in and save.
BUT on the Android, I can't save photos in the Watsapp gallery at all (at least I didn't find any save button or other).
The solution I found to be pretty ****ty is to pick an image and then click on the three dots of the options that appear at the top of the screen, choose Share and then select Upload to Image (which is Google's cloud), even if it is a solution i cn live with , it is unclear why once more than one image is selected the three dots for the option menu where i can choose the upload option disappearing so i can only upload one photo at a time.
Is there something I miss or is it a punishment for not allowing Watsapp to automatically save in the gallery ??
You can simply hide the What's app album in the settings
Create a .nomedia file in the folder to disable it from showing up on your photos
Is there any real solution to that issue ?

Why is not possible to click the image and just save it to the gallery like on iPhones ??? Is that because of samsung or because of WhatsApp... there are a million options how to share the image... the only option is missing is save to gallery.... very strange ??*??*??*
Hi, Did you find a solution for this?

I found a solution..
1.- Download following app: " CX Explorer"
2.- Go to Whattsapp and select the image or photo that you want to save
3.- Clock click share.
4.- Select "Cx explorer" (this app will appear as an option to share with)
5.- Select the location where you want to save your selection (for exemple local storage)
6.- Select the folder where you have your photos (for example camara or DCIM) or just create a new folder in order to save selected photos from Whattapp
7.- Click save
8.- Now you can go to your gallery and you will be able to see your saved photos.
I hope it can help you... I'm new in Android, I miss this option from Iphone too...

New program in the market, Save MMS. Open it and it shows all the attached MMS stuff that you usually cant see or save. Lets you save to your SD card. COOL!
Very cool, i actually have a wish list written and this is another one i can cross out!!!
Can anyone fix this app so the pictures show up in the gallery running android 2.2..seems like it saves the images but don't show up in the gallery like the download attachments default feature works. I like to have the images go to a different folder than "download" for my pictures
I bought a security camera system for my bar. The software allows for me to view it remotely through IE, and also allows me to save the video to computer. The problem is when I tell it to record a feed and select where to save it to, it bascially saves it hidden or something?? Because it shows up nowhere, even if I save them to an empty folder if i do properties on the folder show no files or space taken.
The only way I have been able to access them is if i go back to the brower and attempt to save another video I can hit browse to select folder and it the files will actually appear in there and I can open them in quick time through that folder. But if I try to copy or move them out of there somewhere else it says file moved or no longer at orginal location or something like that.
I've read the manual and it doesnt mention anything about that, and I see no settings or anything to change. I have no idea how to get access to these files! Any ideas?
What is the make and model of the camera? What is the location it's saving them to?
My list is :
1) MOTIONGRAPH - Amaze your friends with a photo that moves
2) WALLPAPER CHANGER - Change your wallpaper with one click or automatically every X minutes.
3) CAMERA FV-5 - Best replacement for stock camera
4) SOLID EXPLORER - its is a file manager with two independent panels
5) PERFECTLY CLEAR - Intelligent Image Correction
For the time being...
1. Airdroid - transfer files without opening the flap
2. Folder mount - transfer obb files to external sdcard
3. Auto screen on - turn on the screen without using hardware power button (save the button)
4. Feedly - replace Google reader
5. Greenify - hibernate inactive app to save battery and improve performance

I had AdFree on my old phone. I think it says "brought to you by BigTinCan.com". But it disappeared from PlayStore a while back. I did back up the app with Titanium or something but now when I tried to reinstall it, first it installed OK but then when I try to run it, it says it's too old "please update to the latest version" or something.
I can't find a link at BigTinCan.com, so I can't get hold of AdFree anymore.
Do you have a direct link to the apk or any other way of helping me please?
here u go... http://adfree.bigtincan.com/adfree.apk
this isn't warez, is it? i think it's one of those grey-area apps... oh well

Hi
Is there any gallery app with which we can select pictures from a particular time like a month or week and delete the whole pics of the selection , have around 17000 pics in gallery and needs to delete many of particular time period .
I think "Focus go" can do that.

Just use a file manager app to select and delete the pics. Or connect phone to PC, browse the storage, and delete using your computer. You can easily decipher the picture's date from the file name (or the pic's metadata).
Hey all.
Does anybody knows how to change the Screenshots folder to InternalStorage/pictures/screenshots (like all the other android devices) instead of InternalStorage/DCIM/Screenshots?
In the galaxy s10 it saves automatically in the DCIM folders and Google Photos detects it like has been taken with the Camera so it automatically backups all the screenshots like normal photos. This is very frustrating.
Does anybody knows a solution for this?
I am currently using an app named "PinSync" that automatically moves the screenshots for the storage i want but it has a Cons which is that it invalid the Smart screenshot menu, it doesn allow me to edit or share directly. It's only a mending when i want a true solution.
Thanks
Try putting a .nomedia file in the folder. Only drawback is that your gallery won't show them either.
I hate this. I used Pinsync and it was cool but I need Smart Scroll too much
so I just routinely purge Google Photos backup
sigh
I may try the .nomedia file for now since I usually just share screenshots immediately and purge later

I was using PinSync also, but now I dont even take screenshots anymore. I use the Smart Select edge panel and select whatever part of the screen to share (or the whole screen), and once I share it to an app and send it, I back out and the image is not saved.
Still, taking a screenshot and immediately pressing Share takes a lot less effort. I wish Samsung would just move their screenshots folder as it being in DCIM violates DCIM standards.

You gave me an idea.
Can I use BXactions or something to trigger smart select? Then I don't need a screen shot. Might negate the time factor and eliminates the Google photos back up issue.
I literally just searched this forum to find out if there was an acceptable solution for this, but I realize that there is not. I will have to do some deep research on how to change the path where the screenshots are saved directly in the system.
It's stunning how a company like Samsung can manage the complexity of producing an amazing smartphone but yet is not competent enough properly configure a storage path for screen shots.
