Hello,
How are you?
I have a small problem.
My gallery app shows 4 albums I do not want there.
I select them, but there is no delete option.
The albums are:
- Wall pictures
- Profile Pictures
- Blogger Pictures
- An experimental blog I started.
I went to the account sync and disabled google photos, but the albums are still there.
Any solution?
Thank you.
Best wishes!

Use Root Explorer (download it from Play Store) to create a file called .nomedia in whatever folder on your sd card from which you do not want any pictures showing up in your gallery. This works 100%

You can also just do a search from your computer of your phone and copy and paste the file to where you want. Subdirectories will also be excluded so just stick it in the parent folder.
can someone confirm if i can store my music, picture, camera pic, document, files and other backup on sdcard and store app on internal memory?
so basically no app store on sd card?

You apps will install on the internal. Storing media and files on the external is up to you. However, I believe you have the option on TouchWiz whether pics save to the external or internal. On things like AOSP/AOKP, you don't have that choice yet... If you do then darn, someone show me that option.
Whenever I try viewing files that are on my memory card, the note 2 won't show the files on the gallery or anything.
But if I open up ES file explorer, the files show up perfectly and play fine. I reformatted my card and tried it again, but no file shows up on the gallery.
I seriously doubt it's corrupt because only the gallery and native apps won't show the files. But my computer and third party file management apps show up files and folders. It's a lexicon sd card that I bought at best buy so I don't think it's a Chinese knock off.

Is the media scanner disabled ? If yes, try re-scanning the media using rescan media application.

Which image viewer app would you recommend for this phone?
I know we have the default "Photos" app, but it only works if you include the folders.
For example, I don't include the "screenshots" folder, because I don't want to back it up to the cloud (Google Drive) by Photos app.
Tx.
You don't have to include the folders to view the contents?!
Just goto the menu and go in device folders.
You can just turn off folders for backup on Google Photos

I like a program called F-stop gallery pro. It's worth the money IMHO.

I'm used to connect SD cards or hard drives to my phone with OTG to quickly edit videos or work on pictures. But unfortunately the stock Gallery app and also others such as KineMaster, Power Director, Google Photos etc don't see the drive connected with media in it. Is there a way to force these apps to show it?
What's your experience?
Thanks
I have never seen in gallery files stored outside the device, tbh, I had always copied them into the device to work on them
I got it to work with Samsung's "My Files" app.

That is such a disappointment. I use it to quickly connect and edit videos from my action camera, or to edit videos stored in a HD with terabytes of files! I can't believe all the people using galaxy devices to actually work have all the necessary files in the internal storage!

True, file managers can see the external storage, but you can't access that same storage from gallery or media apps to work with video edit or photos.
Yes and no.
The Gallery app doesn't see external USB devices. But when you use My Files to open a photo, it will ask which app to use; Gallery is one of those choices.

Yes, but you can't do much. There's no edit button. Same thing if you open a video from "my files" with the video player app. The editor feature is gone.
I basically bought the note 10+ to do these things. Can someone check if using DEX is the same? Can you edit a video with Adobe Rush working on files stored in an external hard drive?
It is easier to transfer the files you need into the device

I'm not sure you can "manually" trigger DeX on the Note 10+. The only way I know is to either plug it into a DeX supported USB-C hub, DeX dock, USB-C to HDMI adaptor, or plug it into a Windows or Mac running Samsung DeX.

I usually work with terabytes of video files, transferring everything in the internal memory is obviously not an option.

Of course I mean connecting the phone to a monitor or a computer. I currently have no chance to try, can someone check if it's the same thing in DEX mode, eg. video editing apps can't access media stored on an external drive?
I can't believe this is how it works. There's an incredible amount of videos on YouTube showing off the video editing capabilities of this phone (and that's why I got it in the first place) and I can't believe nobody has pointed this out.
It's one of two things: either I'm missing something to make it work, or all those people are just showing off and they actually don't do any serious work on the phone. (Just marketing?)

It seems to be a problem with apps not the phone or the OS. Many if not most apps are optimized to use internal or microSD storage. The whole point of OTG isn't to do the editing on the files stored on the external device, but to share files between devices.
I am a photographer and I don't edit files on an external device like a USB drive or thumbdrive. I copy them to a NAS for both storage and editing. If I am away from my main system for an extended period, I copy them to my Surface Pro and do basic editing on that and then move them to my NAS when I get back.
The Note 10+ is a beast of a phone, but it still isn't quite as good as video editing on a Windows or Mac (or even Linux) PC.
My only reccomendation for now is to copy the files to the microSD card then edit from it. The connection between the phone and the microSD card is faster than an external USB device.

I don't agree on this. Also, they are the same apps that worked flawlessly on previous devices I had. On the LG phone I had before, I could see ask the folders containing pictures or videos in Google photos, perform a backup, or edit video in those apps I mentioned. So my guess is that it's a Samsung restriction.
I wonder if rooting might allow a workaround. Anyone with root with this experience?

I used a USB-C hub to trigger DeX and plugged in a thumb drive with a small video file. All I could do was play the video from My Files. Samsung Gallery did not see the video until I copied it to internal storage. The same goes for the SD Card. At that point I could open it and edit it.
