No Content in Album

Even if the SD card contains files, the album may appear empty. Try these steps:

1. Insert SD Card Before Powering On:

   • The SD card is read during startup. Insert it before turning on DWARF II.
   • If inserted after startup, restart the device.

2. Check App Permissions:

   • Go to your phone’s Settings > DWARFLAB and ensure the app has proper permissions.
   • 

3. Disable WiFi Assistant (iPhone):

   • Go to Settings > Cellular > WLAN Assist and turn it off.
   • 

4. Restore Network Settings (iPhone):

   • Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
   • 

5. Clear App Cache:

   • Clear the cache in the DWARFLAB app and reboot DWARF II to reload the album.

3. Troubleshooting Download Issues

• If you cannot download photos, check your phone’s gallery permissions:
  • DWARFLAB requires read and write permissions to save photos to your phone.
  • Note: The app only accesses folders it creates and does not retrieve private data.
