Photo Gallery widget

Hullo,

Recently my Xperia suggested that I move all my photos from internal storage to the SD card as the internal storage was registering 75% full. This happened last week when I was downloading a *.docx file type document to the phone.

This week the Photo Gallery widget displayed a red screen and a warning that it could not display the file photos, so I deleted it from the screen thinking that the widget just needed to be reset after the phone relocated the file path of the photos to the SD card.

I can no longer find the Photo Gallery widget in the app draw  OR  where the other widgets reside. It looked similar to the YouTube widget, it allowed you to flick / scroll through the images without opening the Album. So you could review you recent past pictures quickly and then once you located the one shot you could select it and open the image either to edit it or just to view.

Any suggestions welcome

Hi
Probably you had accidentally "Disabled" the Photo and Videos Widget.You can't possibly uninstall it unless you are rooted.

Try this

Go to Settings > Apps > Swipe to the left three times until you see the "Disabled" section of Apps > Scroll down until you see "Photo And Videos" app.Then press "Enable"

If the problem persist even after enabling it,try clearing data and restart your phone.

Clearing data

Go to Settings > Apps > Swipe to the left twice until you see the "All" section of Apps > Scroll down until you found "Photos and Videos" app and press clear data.

And restart your phone.

I could not find the "Disabled" section of Apps, however the "Photo and Videos" app was there and already enabled.
