Hey Wildfire Users,
i just get a problem, while using ErwinPs newest ICS Version for the Wildfire (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473344&page=91).
If i want to look up pictures and go into the "app" "Gallery" there a now folders or albums. There is black in the whole screen.
But (!) if i want to switch to another page, by pushing the screen with my finger, there are my picture folders. And if i let my finger off the screen, there is only black.
And if i click on a picture, i can't see them on the screen.
Funny, isn't it?
So could anybody help me please?
Thanks

That is a well known bug of CM9 at the moment.
The only way to fix it is to download a third party gallery app (Quickpic is a good one)
Oh man thanks!
I read so many pages in Erwins Thread, but i didn't found anything like that.
Tank you
try looking at first post,also called OP there is listed what works,few things that dont and some tips to fix them..
after few attempts i found that you can view pics in standard gallery,but you need to zoom after opening a photo...anyway quickpic works perfectly,as stated before...

Hi guys.
So I've been using Instant upload for a long time now and I like the option to have extra copies of my images stored in the cloud in case something happens to my phone or something like that. Everything works great except one thing.
From time to time I get new folders in gallery, albums of pictures that are already in the main "Instant Upload" album are showing up alone. Sorted in the Y/M/D format (usually). That wasn't a big deal, I downloaded Perfect Tool for Picasa and dealt with it by deleting extra albums, and only leaving album "Instant Upload" undeleted. And for a few days everything is good again. And a few weeks back problems started, by problems I mean something that Google changed. New captured pictures are uploaded but put into the separate folders and again, sorted by date. That just looks ugly in the Gallery.
So my question is next.
Is it possible to keep the option for Instant Upload but make it not visible in the Gallery ? I'd really like that.
If there's the need to use a different Pictures Viewer, let it be.
Please, someone answer.
Thank you for reading.
I think you have to uncheck the synchronization with Instant Upload and Google Photos in accounts' settings, then clear gallery's cache if needed.
But won't that disable uploading photos to the cloud ?
Still need help with this, if anyone knows anything about how this works, please help out.
I'm having the exact same experience. Apparently it's a known issue and Google is already working on a resolution.

P.S. This is not a Gnex specific issue... it's happening on all phones.
Just got the M8 and love it as I knew I would. I had the M7
But the galleries for HTC are so different than any other makers. Samsung mainly
Samsung's gallery is straightforward. HTC? Not so much. I never used 100Media, didn't know what it was and my camera/videos/wallpaper folders worked fine
Now I have the Gallery on HTC. I know how to use the basics of it, hide files etc, and I see the Zoe's up top. My question for this gallery is: is there a way to isolate simply the pictures you have taken with a camera, not the videos with it, and not any other pics like my wallpapers. It seems like I get all of them or my vids and camera pics
What is more confusing is the fact that I don't need to use that. I started using Quikpic for the purpose of fixing the date, enabling sorting from date etc. I was told and experienced Android is very inconsistent with that. I love Quik Pik
But with the HTC it is a little confusing
I was told that HTC created the 100Media? ...by the app creator. Yet I could swear that I saw it on previous phones. Nexus, Samsung, etc.
In any case, the Zoe's are supposed to go there. I can answer my own question. They don't appear there because just as another phone that doesn't do Zoe's can't play a Zoe, nor can an app, correct
Help me understand if I changed things to be the way they should be, for this app, and for this phone
I just moved all my camera pics to 100Media I believe it works perfect. New camera pics show there. BUT there are about 5 or 6 files that I delete, could restart the phone and they come back.
Any ideas would be appreciated

I ditched Microsoft One Drive to go all in with Google 1 upon purchase of my shiny Pixel 6 Pro, but I'm really missing my daily notification at 6am with photos from over the years dating back since my 1st pictures titled "On This Day", it's nice having a brew looking back over the years while you wake up especially when it's a special day like kids birthdays etc... It really does cheer me up. Google photos has some sort of memories thing but they have now disappeared from the app,
I have everything turned on and when I switched to Google photos/Google 1, I painfully uploaded separate albums into yearly folders which consist of around 17,000 pics/videos but still nothing, I had a memory show up in an album at the top of my photos that it thinks I'd be interested in but it consisted of about 6 pics in a slide show format which is just a big NO. I really want "On This Day" back with daily notification spanning across all the years like Ms One Drive does. I do love the speed of Google photos tho.
Am I being thick or does google photos not cater for this as I'm so close to ditching google 1 and going back to Microsoft One Drive. I have searched and posted in Pixel Help Community's to find out that Google may have just given up on these functions. Any advice muchly appreciated.
Wait did you upload to Google Drive or Google Photos? You need them to be uploaded to Google Photos for all the memories. When you do that, there's no need to create albums of years, Google Photos takes care of all that. You'll get stories at the top.

I'm getting the notification just fine. Not sure if the exact time but once a day I'll get something.

Hi, thanks for the reply could I ask a couple of questions if you don't mind answering when you have time?
Have you been using Google photos for a while? (Do I maybe need to give it time, as I've had my pics uploaded for about 2 weeks ish?)
Is it just exact pictures from this specific day from past years?
Are the presented as a video slide mode or just pictures that you manual scroll through?
I wouldn't mind what time of day I got a notification as long as I could just go and look on each new day.
Many thanks for you time much appreciated.

Hey check my updated reply.
- I've been using using Google Photos since day one it came out. I have 60,000+ photos according to my Google Dashboard.
- The stories are usually within a couple days of the today's date.
- They're stories just like on Instagram, Facebook, etc. but if you swipe up you can get an option to "View Day".

Argh ok, thanks for your time. I'll see if it kicks in soon then and starts giving me them. I have added the only photo widget available to me which says "This Week 1 Year ago" but it's showing me pictures from just a couple of months back. Like I said I'll give it some more time as

Hi thanks for your time, intially I uploaded them to Google Drive along with additional folders and then realised something wasn't right, in MS One Drive this is how I had them. So then I painfully created Albums named 2002, 2003 etc.. as I've got a weird OCD thing where I like all the pictures in a folder with the corresponding year as the name. Maybe this is what I'm doing wrong. All my photos in the app are obviously shown in date order and the app is so fast scrolling, loading the thumbnails then viewing them instantly once selected world's apart from MS One Drive that are slow to load.
So I reckon given what you've said if I get over my weird OCD and move all the pictures out of the albums and put them directly in the root of photos it could fix it, it makes sense really.
Screen shot attached of what I see...
I'll keep you posted when I do it later.
Thanks for your time. Really appreciated.

I'm a little confused though. You have all your photos showing up in Google Photos but you still have them in Google Drive? Google Drive and Google Photos no longer sync with each other.
"...upload or delete photos in Google Drive or Google Photos, changes won’t reflect in the other product."
Recent changes to Google Photos & Google Drive - Google Photos Help
What’s happening? Starting July 10, 2019, Google Photos and Google Drive will no longer automatically sync. We’re making this change to simplify how things work between the two services. You
support.google.com
But you're saying all the pics you uploaded to Google Drive are showing up? So what method did you go about for that to happen? If you did it by this method, https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6156103?hl=en, then you have duplicated the space used because "If you copy an item from Google Drive to Google Photos, the new copy in Google Photos will also count against your storage."

Hi, I removed them from Google Drive then uploaded them to the albums via web browser. I'm defo not duplicating them. I've literally just finished removing them from the albums, so hopefully I'll start seeing the memories. I really do appreciate your time on helping me out. Many thanks

Hi @EeZeEpEe, previous years has now showed up for me many thanks again for your time and solution. It's still not like I got on MS One Drive but it's certainly good enough for me to stay with Google Photos. Soo happy.

Hi @EeZeEpEe hope you are well? Could I bother you for another question about Google Photos if you don't mind? I thought I'd come to you after you helped me out with my Memories which is awesome by the way.
Is there a way to remove photo albums from view in Google Photos? I have loads of music albums with album covers and they all show up in the library tab. On the Samsung gallery app you could hide the albums from view, I've checked everything, I think! Any help appreciated. Thanks.

There are certainly some differences, I also like the MS One Drive approach better, Google only "occasionally" tells you "hey, this happened 3 years ago, have a look" - but there's no noticeable "trigger" to it, you can't force it and it's hard to comprehend why a certain day is now of interest to Google photos and another one is not.
Over the years I noticed that Google likes to tell you of holidays past, so a certain trigger (maybe) are Google Photos albums that are linked to GPS and were made automatically whenever you were on holiday, but that's just my assumption/ anecdote and might be totally coincidental.

Hi, I've got used to it now, my previous years refresh each week and then sometimes it randomly creates an album it thinks I'd like but I'm just loving the actual speed of the app I can scroll from today all the way back to 2004 as fast as I can move my finger down the screen and boom loaded... Also loving the search function which also enables a trip down memory lane by categorising "Things" into Night Clubs, Camping, Swimming etc.... I've long forgotten about MS One Drive Now, especially now I've just figured out how to hide all my music album covers from the Library view. Google Photos is Awesome. Lol

Do you install and retrofit skylights? Because your photos sure look a lot like photos I took when I did.

Nope. Those views are from my job and were either sunrise or sunset pics.
