It really does not matter which folder. The same video will have preview one time and the other time it does not have the preview. There are I think two bugs for now.
1. i mentioned
2. When the video is playing and I grab the playing bar, some time it forward frame by frame and some time it forward seconds by second.
Think andriod is cool but has bugs and inconsistencies
Also, running apps in the background can hog memory. Users generally have little control over this, as the OS takes care of it.
But sometimes the priorities of the OS and the user are different.
This can affect things like the thumbnail playback.
Actually, if you wish to improve battery life and memory usage (improving device performance) then if there is an option to turn this feature off then you should do so. This is like you helping your OS, rather than arguing with it.
Second, different videos are recorded at different frame rates.
That means that some videos have more frames per second than others.
This can easily be the cause of the difference you see when using the control bar to scan within a video.
If you continue to have these difficulties, why not ditch the stock app- which is usually not a great app to begin with- and upgrade to a better one?
This is what makes Android so great, the fact that you can upgrade the parts that you don't like and make the device do what you want it to do.
You have the control.
You just have to use it.
The vast majority of stock video and gallery apps are only there to get a new user by until they find something better.
My personal suggestions would be to try these three apps and see for yourself if any or all of them are superior to the stock app(s) on your device.
Simple Gallery Pro
(Simple Mobile Tools)
X-Player
(In-Shot)
VLC
