I have the T-Mobile SGS3. I noticed today while looking in the Gallery app to view my photos that they are not in the order that I have taken them. I checked the details, and the 'Title' shows the actual date/time the photo was taken. The 'Time' shows something different. The EXIF data from the photos that were instantly uploaded to my dropbox shows the correct timestamp of when the photo was taken.

I also noticed that some photos with different timestamps were the photos I used to transfer via Wifi Direct or S-Beam.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? This is a major flaw if the timestamps are being changed due to transferring.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] iamec:
one more thing...

I also noticed that the photos are dated in the future. For example, one photo was taken on 7/13/2012 20:20 and now shows a date of 7/16/2012 10:02.

Hello?

BUMP

File name is correct date/time but timestamp in details is wrong.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] firerock:
Yes, the freaking timestamp is wrong in the detail. Thus making any google+ photo upload messed up in date as well. Tried clear data on both gallery and camera...not working. Tried to install default ICS gallery, not working. The only way I can view the image in right order is to use QuickPic...but the timestamp is still messed up. :crying:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] broadwayblues:
This is happening on my Verizon S III also.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] #1RAGE:
It seems to be Google+ causing the problem. I disabled Instant Upload and it appears to have fixed the problem for any new pictures I take. The pictures with the broken timestamps don't even have any data in the "date taken" field in the EXIF data when I check it on my PC.

Try disable G+ Instant Upload and let us know if it fixes it for you.

sort gallery pics and videos

Hi. i had a problem when i was copyin pics from one of my device to other. It couldnt be sorted . I tried many options such as renaming , quick pic . nne worked. I found that when you copy pics to windows and it automatically stamps a "date created" time any time a file is copied. Due to this when i copied my pics to a new device from windows folder it wouldnt be sorted by date taken rather was sorted by date created. the way around is not using windows as the middle platform.

I connected both my source phone and destination device to a laptop. Copy directly from one device storage to the destination device storage. this does not edit the time stamp. This worked for me and all the copied itmes were sorted in gallery according to time taken.

So the only way is to copy directly from one device storage to another device storage (without copying it to windows intermediate folder).

Hope this works. do let me know if you need any help.

Best Regards

plz help me asap!!!!! phone is just on "android" screen after rebooting naming samsungani to samsunganiOLD then renaming bootanimation to samsungani... guy on xda told me to do that and try..... now phone stuck on android screen.......... I AM BEGGING SOMEONE TO HELP ME OUT
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Power off phone completely and let it charge for a little bit.

Go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1721229

Read the entire post a few times.

[Make sure you have the Samsung drivers installed]

Download the "FF18 full restore One-Click self-extractor"

extract and launch it.

Now

Power on the phone and..

hold Power button + Volume down

Then volume up to enter download mode

Connect the phone via USB to the computer and it should show up on a COM port.

Then click start and hopefully you'll be back to stock rooted.

Then be careful and read a whole lot more.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
It is a factory reset, so all settings will be cleared
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Not sure what you're trying. I just posted how to completely set you phone to stock FF18. It WILL wipe your data but your phone shoud be good to go with all services.

If you want to use sfhub's EL29 one click the method is the same. But why not get the latest released build.

You may have to to System Settings>System Updates then Update the PRL wait and then update the Profile wait.

It may suck having to re-enter some data but I would think it would suck more to have a phone that didn't work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
It won't reset your prl, aaa, ha keys which are contained in NVRAM.

If you are running CWM, I would boot into recovery, then start adb shell, then mount /system (if necessary) and undo your boot animation change. It is very likely everything is intact, just the boot is prevented from completing due to that change you made.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moparfreak426:
thank you! its doing its recovery thing now.... i have a cwm folder in sdcard section of phone... idk how to put cwm on the device though.... new to samsung, used to moto locked down bootloaders and stuff

Holy crap. Swype u force fed me another failcake! I meant how much worse is battery on ff18 than el29
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cp320703:
Ics uses like 10% more on average is the number I've seen thrown around, I get like 18 hours with 3 or 4 hours of screen time on average with 20% left.... you see tons of posts from people complaining about ics battery, ignore these... most of these folks can't be bothered to set up syncs right, kill background tasks that are unnecessary, read the forums, let roms properly settle, recalibrate, etc...

Alright, if install ff18, will I lose my flash to page plus with working mms and 3g data?.... Well I still can't send mms but can recieve
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cp320703:
you should not, flash doesn't affect the partition that has that data
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moparfreak426:
I seen that earlier post, but with ics ive seen where you have to wrote everything sometimes to make it work right
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cp320703:
I'm assuming you mean wipe? Yes but it still would not affect your provisioning/network information... it does not get wiped by that... for example I have heavily edited 4g settings (higher entry RX, etc...) and those have been preserved across god knows how many flashes and wipes... lastly is not just ics you need to do a full wipe for, you can try no data flashes but might experance bugs, the reccomended route for every rom I know of is to do a full data wipe when switching from one from to another

Recently I rooted my phone and then I installed a Root font changing application from Play Store. The problem is when it asked to reboot the phone, I clicked yes and then my phone never started again!! It gets stuck on the boot screen only..

I am unable to use my phone.. All I can do is switch on and watch the boot screen and then switch it off again.. Nothing else..

I used the Android System Recovery trick, ie., by pressing vol up, vol down, and the power button at the same time.. I am unable to choose any option from it.. I also tried Factory mode by pressing Home key along with power button while switching on.. but nothing worked..

Please somebody help!!

Oh man so u want me to explain the whole thing......there are two types of bootloop man.....at times the phone switches on and starts working fine but the bootanimation covers the screen and doesnt let us use the phone.....in that case my calling method works......i have experienced this many times.....and i had also doen the same thing as done by the guy in the op....even then i called on my phone and call screen showed up and then i went back to my launcher and than to root explorer and reverted back the files and the phone worked fine.........

now the other one is when the phone doesnt switch on and the bootanimation keeps playing.....in that cases if we call it says the subscriber is out of coverage area....

now i m pretty sure that the case in the op is case one....beacause it has happened with me on my galaxy 551......now guys please use humble language if u dont know the stuff
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
So you are saying that he didn't flash something wrong, possibly from this forum since he is in the wrong forum and completely f**k his bootloader? Because if that is what you are saying, you need to just leave. Not once have i ever heard of the situations you speak of and I have been here for a very long time and have had many devices and many bootloops. I am pretty confident that I know my stuff. How do you think that I am a recognized contributor? I didn't get it by just hanging out and telling people random things that make no sense at all. Something that you are doing.

No hard feelings man......but i have tried the samsungani thing he had done in the op......he is not telling that he flashed something he has just renamed some files......and his rest of the phone is good.......i know that what i m saying is completely unkown.....even i havent read it anywhere but what can i do.....it was surprising for me too when it happened to me the first time(it was accidental)......but now i have used it many times and its has save me hours of reflashing..............sorry about that know your stuff thing......i just wanted u to b humble.......i am being humble u see......i didnt even use a '****' in my post.....i do respect ur recognised contributor batch but how can i deny something that happened in front of my eyes

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pdinphx:
So, I've got a new SanDisk 64gb Class 10 micro SD and want to use it for app and data storage, as well as for nandroid recoveries.

Unfortunately, the stock format - exFAT - is not recognized by many apps or by any of our custom recoveries.

Now, you've got two virtually bulletproof options to reformat that disk to FAT32 ... you choose your poison.

**************** HARDCORE *******************

I call this the "Use your teeth to open that bottle of beer" method ...

1. Place the card in your PC's card reader and determine the drive designation (i.e., G:\, H:\, etc.)

2. Download the program Fat32Format to your PC from here: http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm. The download link is actually situated about mid-page.

3. Unzip the downloaded file with 7Zip (which you can get here: http://www.7-zip.org/)

4. Navigate to the

folder

with the unzipped fat32format.exe file; while holding down the [Shift] key, right click on the folder.

5. A menu should popup. Scroll down and click on <Open Command Window Here>.

6. You are now in virtual DOS (.. don't be scared ..)

7. Enter the following command sequence> fat32format h: (or whatever drive designates the location of your SD card)

8. You will be prompted to confirm a wipe and format of your SD card. Type "y" and hit enter.

9. In approximately 5 seconds, your SD card will be FAT32 formatted.

10. Remember to follow whatever procedure you normally would before removing a drive from USB.

***************** EASY PEASY ******************

This, on the other hand, is the "my hands are as soft as a baby's bottom" method ... (thanks to lynkdead)

1. Place the card in your PC's card reader and determine the drive designation (i.e., G:\, H:\, etc.)

2. Download the fat32format utility in GUI version from here: http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/guiformat.exe. Click on the picture to retrieve the file.

3. Launch the guiformat.exe.

4. Choose the drive that corresponds to your SD card.

5. Choose the size of the SD Card you are formatting.

5. Check the Quick Format box.

6. Press Start.

And voila !!!

Enjoy your new SD card !!!

p.s. Needless to say, this process will erase all data on the card. Also, you will no longer be able to transfer files larger than 4gb to the card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lynkdead:
http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/guiformat.exe

If you use the GUI version from the same website it's WAY easier.

Just launch the .exe, choose the drive that corresponds to your SD card, make sure Quick Format is checked, and press start.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pdinphx:
I thought I'd give people to a chance to explore Command Prompts as sort of a baby step to ADB or Terminal Emulator.

The GUI method works just as well. :good:

Thanks for the heads-up ... I edited the OP to reflect both options.

Sorry, I don't download and run any unknown/noncorporate apps, for the fear of them being trojans. Do you have any other methods?

Can one not format a mounted sdcard to fat32 on their pc by using "right click/properties/tools/format" or something? Does Microsoft not provide an official tool to format an sd card?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pdinphx:
The functionality is built into Windows, through the command prompt. It is, however, excruciatingly slow.

Fat32formatter is open source and has proven to be the only reliable method of formatting large drives without spending any money.

Let us know if you find a good alternative ...

Phoenix, AZ
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nabbed:
So, basically - use command prompt on windows7? "format X: /FS:FAT32", where "X:" is the sdcard drive name.

Right? (just reading "format /?" in windows)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pdinphx:
That should work, though others have reported trying the native Windows format command and later running into trouble with a damaged disc prompt when the card was inserted into the phone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lynkdead:
If you don't trust it you can always upload the files to VirtusTotal, run them against your own virus scanners, or just rely on the handful of people here who have run the program without issue.

In Windows if you try to simply right-click format it doesn't give the FAT32 option, only exFAT. You can try it through the command line, and it appears to work, though once you actually try to use it CWM throws a fit. Other tools that I've tried also don't work (likely because they simply do exFAT even though they say FAT32, since the difference usually doesn't matter).

This tool works, I've had zero issues, and it hasn't tripped any of the virus scanners I've run against it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] baudac:
I don't have a 64g card yet, but only my old 16 for more. Why not have the s3 format your card. I did that with my 16g and its a fat32.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drksilenc:
... NEVER use fat32 with anything above 32 GB.... there is a reason for this it is designed for a max of 32GB you need to use the phone to format it. it will become a newer ext partition.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] carhauler1969:
Either format it in the phone fully booted into Android, or download EaseUS Partition Master (free) & format it as a Primary Drive FAT32 file system. Either way will work. ;)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] will6316:
How u r so wrong. You wont be able to use asop cm9 or cm10 when released. unless the 64gb card is in fat32 format. the only disadvantage I see is the 4GB file limit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drksilenc:
why wouldnt cm9 be able to use ext4 thats what the 4.0 version of android was built on and why the partitions can scale.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] carhauler1969:
It's not a matter of a specific ROM being able to read it, it's a matter of external storage not being recognized by your recovery(only sees fat & fat32 at /mnt/sdcard), and the OS cannot see external storage formatted as ext2/3/4, only FAT, FAT32, & exFAT.

:rolleyes: not my best explanation ever :o
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
You sure about that last bit? I was going to reformat my 64GB extSD as ext4 (when I got around to it), since Microsoft's exFAT is patent FAIL, and it's the only other fs the phone supports that'll handle files larger than 4GB. No good reason why it shouldn't be supported on stock touchwiz or on CM10||AOKP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pdinphx:
As I noted above, none of our custom recoveries recognize the exFAT format, which means that you cannot boot, backup or flash from that giant 64gb card. Many users have reported the same problem with their favorite apps ...

No one has reported issues with a FAT32 64gb card , so I don't think this is an issue.

Either way, it is your choice ...

This convinced me to go FAT32: http://www.epiccm.org/2012/06/why-not-exfat.html

I suspect the phone respects your card's native format. My 64gb SanDisk remained exFAT formatted even after running it through the phone. Thus, the need to format it with my computer. If your experience is different, please let us know.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] baudac:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] onebelo:
has anyone had their files on the 64gb card not showing up when Phone is connected to PC or got corrupted where the phone shows the filenames but when you click it, it says "No Files" instead of a pop-up window asking you which app you want to open it with?

This happens to me with music or video files.

I tried formatting it a couple times through the phone and initially will play and load the files I have on there. And seems like after I connect the phone to the PC, some files will suddenly not load anymore while others are okay.

If I browse the 64gb card through the PC, not all files will show up while some do. Yet I can see them on my phone.

I'll try to format it as fat32 when I get home to see if the problem persists.... luckily i hvaent put too much data on the 64gb card yet.
