Arc photo gallery missing from home screen

Fri, 23 Sep 2011 10:42:44 GMT

Hi All

I have recently taken some photos off my Arc and put them onto my computer but think I have messed up my phone somehow in the process.

When I used to take a photo it appeared in a gallery on one of the home screens on a kind of rotary thing with all my other photos but I have just found that now when I take a photo it doesn't show on here anymore. The home screen that used to show all photos is completely blank.

The photos are being taken though, and I can find them by pressing the Media widget and then choosing gallery.

Is there a way of having my photos back on the rotary thing on one of my home screens?

Sorry if this doesn't make too much sense, hopefully you'll know what I mean.

Thank you.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately this didn't work. I cleared the gallery application too but still nothing.

Do you think I have accidentally deleted a file?

You, my friend are a GENIUS!

All I had to do was add the photos and videos widget to the home screen! I had looked at adding a widget to the home screen before but I didn't realise that I could scroll down the list!

Thank you so much I was really worried that I'd buggered up my phone.

Cheers mate.
