Sparks Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 I have the s2, when I take it pic it goes directly to my memory card, so, when I mount my phone I get two lots or directories to look in... I go to dcim, then camera then photos or something like that... I can then preview the pics and hold ctrl and push A then paste them to the computer (ctrl V)... Any more questions ask and I'll try to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the blue sky image? If that's what you mean then, yeh thats what it's like on mine, there is no way of changing that... All I do is go by the date the image was taken, then I can guess the images I want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've changed to large but still doesn't work...help???!! what am i doing wrong. [ATTACH=full]45822[/ATTACH] I've not had much experience with Windows 7 but as I understand it your pc is caching all the thumbnails for quick access later on and the progress of this is shown by the green bar in the address bar, I would say you have 2 options 1 leave it on over night and see if it has made any progress either on the green bar or if the thumbnails are showing up 2 click the red X at the end of the address bar, I believe this will stop the process and might show up any thumbnails already cached Beyond that I'm not sure, hope this helps and you get this sorted The Running Wild Pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheriff&&Kava Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I have the same phone. All I did was downloaded the app. Instead of using the full site and I was able to look at my pics as I uploaded them. The app is called tapatalk.

BlueWolf Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 If Explorer doesn't show thumbnails from external devices there isn't much you can do about it, apart from copying them all over to a folder on your computer and watch them from there. Maybe there's an setting hidden somewhere that lets it show thumbnails even from mounted locations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robke Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I have the same problem with my HTC spoke to their help line and the answer I got was believe it or not: Just copy them to a folder on your hard drive then you can see them all in thumbnails...well duhhhh I knew that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
