Lumia 1020 :: Sorting Photos By Numbers / Not Sorting In Correct Order
May 12, 2014
I create a folder on my laptop an paste 50 photos in it. Then, I rename all photos with numbers 000-050. On my Windows laptop, the photos are sorted correctly (001, 002, 003, ... 049, 050).
However, after copying the entire folder to my 1020, some of the photos are not sorted correctly anymore. A few of them appear somewhere in the middle of my album (folder). The problem is on the phone only.When I connect the phone with my laptop, the photos in the folder (on the laptop) is shown correctly.
Quick question regarding the 'Gallery' App. Is there a way to sort the photos by date taken? Currently everything is all muddled up, seems to be in no order at all.
I am trying to sort my contacts in 'People' by Last Name, First without success. I have selected both 'Sort by Last Name', and 'Display names by Last, First' and the list still displays as 'First, Last'. I double-checked my entries to make sure they are correct (i.e. Last name is in fact in last name field).
how to sort your music on your phone. Is there any way I can create different folders with music or X10 always sorts everything by album, artist etc. ? Also how do you add your own ringtons for text message notifications?
After updating to Anna, the songs are all messed up - songs from various artistes are separated from the main album especially soundtrack from movies albums. I wish Nokia could look into this issue and hope that there is a sorting options - eg. sort by albums, artistes, names...
Ive been looking around for a jailbreak app or something that can sort the camera roll straight from the iphone and not having to go into itunes from the computer and manually do it.... why hasnt someone come up with a hack for this? anyone with info on something they have gotten to work thats a straight download from either cydia or rock and automatically works without hard labor please post. thanks.
how to change the setting so that the oldest email messages are listed at the top instead of the bottom? I have a user that had a 8530 and I just upgraded him to a 9930 and I can't find it.. he would like to permanently listed oldest to newest (don't ask me why!!)
Maybe I overlooked some simple setting...is there any way to have the newest posts appear at the top of the list rather than having to go to the very last page to see anything new?Edit: Sorry, I didn't mean the top level listing of posts, that is already sorted with newest on top. I meant within the thread of a post.
how to sort the "Favorites" folder alphabetically? I'm not sure what the default sorting rules are. They don't seem to be organized by date of entry, or by frequency of use.
Is there a way when viewing bookmarks in the list mode of the stock photon browser to sort them alphbeticaly. I'm not sure what order they sort in but it's not alphabetical. The default sort makes things hard to find at least for me.
Clendar widget is only 3 rows high and it display tasks on order of creation.Example: one have 3 low priority tasks created before 1 high priority task. Calendar widget will display only low priority tasks. That's stupid.You need options for task sorting or some "algorithm" for sorting that will take priority into account.
My Lumia 1020 is not showing the correct time of day (about 2.5 hours fast). When I got it, it did show the correct time of day, but now it doesn't, maybe this could be because I haven't put a sim card in it and activated it yet (just been using the camera).
On some videos (not all, can't figure out the reason), the trimmer seems to work correctly on my phone. Then I connect it to my Windows PC and copy it over. At that point, the file size is the original size before trimming. The video actually stops (QuickTime) at the correct point, but there's a coda on the file which is just a still of the last frame. But it plays like video until the original end point. I have a video limit for uploading to another site, and I can't figure out how to edit around this problem.
I made a folder within the camera roll folder, dropped my pics in all together...dragged the folder on to my desktop and POOF - the folder and all the images (except ONE photo copies 17 times) are GONE!!? what do I do?
I'll be updating to 5.1.1 later and wondered what the best way to restore my S6 (SM-G920F). I'll be backing up different ways where each backup does it slightly differently.
I have
1. Samsung backup set up via the backup/restore options
2. Google sync via accounts and backup via backup/restore options
3. Helium backup "carbon" folder copied to my PC
Which is the best to restore from? Is there a certain order i should do it? Can i ignore any of the options listed above? I only ask this as Helium is denied backup to certain apps e.g. WhatsApp etc.
I've made some playlists in my iTunes. I've named them Remix 1, Remix 2, etc. I have the songs in a specific order in the playlist on iTunes but when I sync the playlist to my iPhone, they are in a different order.In each song in my playlist, I click on the 'info' tab and put # in the 'track number' but that doesn't help.
I use Lumia Camera or Proshot to capture most of my photos, while also using the native camera app when I want to take burst photos.
For the Lumia Camera, I usually go for JPEG (5 + 34/38 MP), changing aspect ratio now and then. Sometimes, 5 MP photos are fine, but the 34/38 MP ones will get corrupted, i.e. they will either be just green or grey backgrounds. Same thing also tends to happen with DNG files, that they cannot be opened by Photoshop or some other software.
This issue (corrupt high-res photos) also tend to happen with Proshot when shooting with high-res.
Performing a soft reset solved the problem, but I'm getting tired of soft resetting my phone every now and then.
I've attached 3 screenshots.
1: Basic viewing of the 5 MP photo. No issue here.
2: When I pressed "Open with Lumia Camera", this green photo happens. Instead of a high-res photo, I get a high-res green background.
3: Using a File Explorer, you can see that the photos affected are the high res ones from Lumia Camera. Also happens with ProShot's high-res photos.
play the mp3-files in a directory in the correct order? I already tried "m3u"-playlist, tagging the files with id3 and giving the files names like 001-song.mp3. Nothing worked.
I've tried using Motocast to play my music but it seems to ignore the track number at the start of a file name and just plays the tracks in alphabetical order not the order they are on the album.
How can I get Motocast to play the tracks on an album in the correct order?
When I try and take my photos off the 1020 with my PC it only shows one of each photo I took I think its the 34mp photos but not sure I thought it would have doubles of each photo a 5mp and a 34mp since I got it set to save both in the pro camera settings ...
Does it saves both to camera roll or does it save the 5mp somewhere else for sharing from the phone cause only one copy of each photo is on the phone camera roll ...
I've only had my Lumia 1020 for a few weeks after deciding that I was bored with Android. In fact, just returned from Paris where I spent Christmas with the family. Sadly, over the period of my stay there WiFi was scarce so when I checked if my snaps had synched or not I saw that it was waiting for WiFi. Now I've been home a few days with a good WiFi connection in surprised too see that very few pictures have uploaded and that there's no uploads pending. I've checked the backup setting screen and all is as it should be, but there's no option to stay or force the upload. One thing I lived with Android was the Google+ photo section that synched instantly and was ready sand waiting straight away.... Looks like Windows 8.1 isn't as automatic,
If I click share to Onedrive from the photos hub, does it send the full 34mp photo or the smaller 5mp? Just trying to prepare my phone for a hard reset as it's become so unreliable after installing 8.1.
Notice that the 1020 seem to have excessive distortion starting about 2/3 from the center? I am using my 1020 as a point and shoot replacement and it is great for anything but people. I think the live view we see on the screen when camera is on (regardless what app Pro Cam/ProShot/WP default) already has some extreme barrel correction applied to it. If my subject is about 2/3 from the center their faces start to stretch and distort like they have been pulled towards the edge of the view finder. Single person is fine but when you get 3 people in a shot, the center person would be fine but the left and right will have stretched faces. Coming from a 920, I find the distortion to be worse than the 920.
In some extreme cases of building shots, instead of having straight lines or slight rounding lines, the lines actually cave in. The only thing I can think of is to "undo" the correction in lightroom, but I don't see a lens profile for the 1020 yet.
I'm having quite a strange problem with my Nokia Lumia 1020. It all began with the gmail app that stopped syncronizing with the server. After an ordinary reboot I got a message that the device was restored after an error and then it started loading all the old mails back by dozens, as if they were all unread (which was not the case). Ok, after all the mailing app was in order again.
But soon after that I received an sms and realized that all the other messages were completely gone. Including the whole previous chat with the person who texted me.
Same thing for Whatsapp - no messages visible, no saved pictures. Just the call history.
After all I went on to check the Camera Roll - nothing left there either. But all the pictures are still visible when I sync the phone with the computer via USB.
So, after many attempts at soft-resetting, checking for updates etc, here's where I am:
- No photos visible in the Camera roll or trough any app (Camera, Instagram, photoeditors)
- All SMS are gone
- All Whatsapp contents is gone, too
- Everything else is fine. Call history, contacts, Facebook, mail apps, Microsoft and Gmail accounts syncronization.
