Why does the message "it's impossible to create an icon" appear in the phone of the Android system?

For some reason, the problem "impossible to create a pictogram" on phones Android is quite common. The phone does not display both old pictures, and newly made, can not shoot video. It occurs mostly on smartphones Lenovo.

If an alert "can not create a thumbnail" appears, what should I do?

Reboot the phone

Sometimes it helps to just restart the phone. The software self-corrects the error, and the pictures are reproduced again.

Clearing the Gallery's cache

To do this, enter the settings menu, select "Applications", find "Gallery", select "Clear the cache". We reboot the phone. This method often helps when the phone has a lot of pictures and memory is not enough.

We exclude the defective CD-card

If the photos are saved by default to external memory (CD-card), you can move them to the internal memory of the phone and open from there. If there is another CD-card, then we insert it into the phone and see if the application is working with it. If the problem is in external memory, then instead of the inscription "unable to create an icon", photos from internal memory or another card will be displayed.

The problem in the photo application

Download any file manager, go to the folder DCIM /. It has a folder. Thumbnails - delete it and restart the phone. If this does not work, go to the Camera folder and look at the size of the photos. When the application does not work correctly, the files will be empty. It is necessary to update the application for photos and restart the phone.

There is no contact with the Gallery app

In the case where "it is impossible to create an icon" is displayed in the phone instead of photos, but when you connect it to a computer, the pictures are most likely the question in the way the photo is displayed in the phone.

Download the file manager. Through it, open that memory (internal or external) on which the photos are stored, go to the DCIN folder, then into the Camera folder. Click on any photo file and hold until the internal menu appears. Choose the item "Open with." A list of applications that open this file appears. Click on the Gallery app. If there is a "Save by default" item at the bottom of the screen, mark it.

Now the pictures will be displayed correctly.

Phone firmware

Sometimes, the "impossible to create icon" error appears if you need to update the firmware version of the phone.

Open the menu "Settings", subsection "About phone", click "Update system". If a new firmware version is available, a list of warnings and a "Download" button will appear on the phone screen. Push it. The download of the update package begins. After downloading is complete, select when to start installing updates.

After the updated version is installed, the phone will reboot itself. Now you can watch photos and make videos. An error "can not create an icon" on Android will disappear.
