Can't open pictures? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a G3 and love it. Pictures I take open find on the phone but if I copy them to my windows 8 pc I can't open them or preview them.
I Windows Photo Viewer I get the following error msg "Windows Photo Viewer can't open this pictures because either Photo Viewer doesn't support this file format, or you don't have the latest updates to Photo Viewer.
I have never seen this error with any pictures or any other phone before the g3.
Please help.

I take it by the lack of responses that I am the only one to experience this problem and so, probably have a defective phone?

What is the file extension of the photos you are trying to view?

Try sending those photos to a drferent computer and if it opens then it is ypu pc.

The pictures are jpg. Here is the odd thing. If I email it to myself on the same pc it opens fine. However, I cannot open it and get the error message if I try to open it from my pc while the phone is connected OR if I copy the file from the phone directly to the pc using a usb cable.

I'm having exactly the same problem since upgrading to Marshmallow on a Nexus 5 (or could be the Gallery app?). Any solutions out there?

[Q] Windows 7 and half shown photos

This is not exactly a question for my Desire, but some of the photos I took with it are half rendered when I open them in Windows 7 photo viewer or windows media center - see attached photos.
Since I've installed windows 7 couple of weeks ago, this is my first time viewing new images with it. Old photos that I have do not have any problem.
The problematic images looks ok on my desire. I've copied them also to my laptop, which runs windows xp, and they are shown corectly. I've tried even to copy them from my laptop to a usb thumbdrive and then to my Windows 7 desktop and again some images have this problem. The weird part is that everytime I try to copy those images, different ones have this problem.
I also have some photos taken with different cameras and when I copy them from my laptop to my Windows 7 desktop, the problem appears again.
Any help will be appreciated.
Those images seems to be corrupted to me. I have experienced this when the photos were corrupted.
Why dont you try to send one of those pictures to yourself from the device by email, and then download it on the PC?
The same images are ok on the desire and on my laptop, so the is no problems with the photos.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Try a different image viewer?

Also noticed the same bug, while uploading the pictures on Picasa tool. I just uploaded again and it worked fine. Seems to be a problem with transfer that gets the files corrupted. Try to download manually the pictures from the phone to PC and then import to any editing tool you like.

Getting error message when trying to view photos in my skydrive using the picture hub

Phone: Lumia 900
Carrier: ATT
Version: 7.5
Hello,
Starting yesterday, whenever I try to view photos on my skydrive account using the picture hub, i get the following message:
"Can't get picture. It may be a connection issue (you can try again later). Someone else's picture? It may be an issue with their privacy settings."
Nobody is tagged in any of these photos. I can view them just fine from any PC. The first 3 pictures I can view no problem, but after that i get that message whenever i click on one. Thumbnails show up just fine but whenever i click on them i get that error message. This is not my skydrive camera roll, but a different album that i have made.
Using the Skydrive app, i can access all pictures no problem. Only recent changes I have made was to remove linkedin from my accounts, so i think that is not the issue.
Any help would be great.

Seems to have fixed itself. Its been like this for almost 24 hours. All I did was create a new folder, move a couple pictures into, upload a new photo, and all the sudden it is working again on my phone. Very odd.

No image thumbnails when viewing pic folder on PC

Ever since I got my S3 a few weeks ago when I look at the DCIM photo folder I don't get a thumbnail image of my photos or videos. This makes it very difficult to pull photos from my phone to my computer because I can't see what the photo is till its copied to my desktop. Anyone have any idea why its doing this or a fix for it?
With Windows 7 the only way to see thumbnails is to use Kies or remove your SDCard and mount it directly (assuming you are saving images to your card). Even though the MTP protocol supports thumbnails, Microsoft's implementation of it in Win7 doesn't. Whats weird is that even with the custom rom I use *Frosty I'm not able to see the thumbnails but when I changed to Ktoonez Kernel I was able view thumbnails, no clue why.
Search broken again??
Removing your SDcard and inserting it into your PC is probably the simplest solution other than using Kies. But if you don't want to hassle with taking of your case (if you have one) then you could try connecting it as a camera instead of MTP. If that doesn't work, you could use your cloud service of choice and manually upload the photos and access the cloud from your PC. Just my 2 cents, sorry if it was too common sense.
Thanks for the tips. I guess I was just used to my NexusS not doing this so I thought something was wrong with my S3 when it wouldn't show any thumbnails when looking at my photo folders. I figured out the Kies thing last night by chance when I was seeing what that did but I don't want to load extra software on my work PC. I guess I'll stick with moving them from my picasa instant upload folder to my PC.

Cannot open all data (pictures) if connecting to PC via MTP

Hi guys,
one more question of me. Hope to get some help.
I´m desparate. I want to organize my data on my OP7T via PC so I connect it to it, but, if I want to open the pictures of snapchat, instagram, facebook etc, then it shows in Photos of Windows, that the file is damaged or can´t be read. But in the normal Camera folder, I can see the pictures.
SO I always have to copy it on my PC if I want to look to them. Thats pretty annoying.
Does anyone also have that kind of issue? Would be nice, if someone could test it on his own.
AND also this annoying messsage come several times, if I pull out the cable of the phone. (the pictures are attached.
