Hi.
My gallery app doesn't find any picture of my SD card. There are a lot of them placed in "SDcard\dcim\camera" but none is present when I launch gallery. Even the app doesn't show anything when I open the image from the explorer. I have wiped and reinstalled CM 5.0.5.3 but problem persists.
I'd want to find any other similar app to view pictures on my nexus, suggestions?
try using the media scanner in Dev Tools...
What format are the pictures? What are the filenames? Size?

They are pictures and videos taken by the camera so pictures in jpg and videos in 3gp. If I make another picture it appears on gallery but after a while it disappears like the others.
Strange, isn't it?
I have the same problem... I tried wiping all/flashing and nand restore a few times. I even formated my sd card... nothing.
Actually after I formatted my card, it worked for 30 seconds...
Could it be some kind of virus ?
From what I saw, it happened after I did a metamorph change. But since then everything has been formatted a few times so I doubt it's the cause of my problems...
Please help.
Got everything back !
What I did is, as I intalled Beautifull widgets just before I had the problem and uninstalled it, I searched my card for all the files that were saved during that time and just deleted them...
It works, no problem, no issue.
hope this helps

Using media scanner seems to solve the problem, so far
Thanks bro

Hi,
since a few days I have a very strange bug: My camera takes the photo (you can hear the "click") but does not store it. I cant find the photos, not on the HTC and also not on the storage card.
I am running the WM 6.1 Upgrade but at the beginning it worked. In my opinion its not a update-problem.
Any suggestions? Do I have to fix something in the registry?
In my opinion somehow the link from the camera to the album is "broken".
Thanks!

Install Schap's Advanced configuration tool and check/set there saving location for pictures. Search forums for tool.
It's NOT update problem. At least I don't have it.
ive had the same problem when i flashed a new rom.. but it was only when my saving location was pointed at my storage card. so i changed that to my phone and its fixed!
Hmmm... my phone is normally saving to storage card...
So I think BadBoy has a problem...
@188236:
Additional idea. If you don't already have Total Commander, install it and try to find pictures, both via extension and/or date.
Solution!!
OK, its easy if you know it:
Somehow the picture folder was corrupted. Just delete all files in the folder, restart and try again. I my case it worked.
I have the same problem. Once the pic is taken it hangs and times out. Doesn't save the picture. I have the app to specify pic location. Doesn't help. Which picture folder do I delete? The one on the device or a folder on the sd card?
Ok so I'm running cog, the latest one, and when I go to the pics on my external sd, it is showing 4 of each pic. However, when I go to the folder there is only one copy. Anybody seem this or know how to fix it?

I had the samething happen only way i could get it to go away is reflash the rom.

It's the Gallery app bug in the leaked Froyo ROM we have. I know my JI6 had this problem from day one. There is no sure way to fix it.
The official Galaxy S Froyo ROM released in Europe is not better either. Its Gallery app has a nasty battery drain bug.
Try this without having to reflash.
Connect to PC and MOVE all of your pictures to your PC. Delete anything you see inside .thumbnails in the DCIM folder (from your default Camera storage). Move all of your pictures back to your phone. If you accidentally copied a .thumbnails folder, make sure you don't move that back in. Gallery will reindex all of your pictures and create new thumbnails.
Just deleting .thumbnails and a reboot works for me when/if this happens.

That didn't work for me. I just tried it. My gallery started showing multiple photos again. I think this only happens when I connect to my PC at work (and/or home) and browse photos using Explorer.
same thing happening to me, i have 3 of each photo on the sd card
Try going to your picasa web albums at picasaweb.google.com/home
login with the gmail account you use on your phone and look at your web albums
By default the gallery app / android will sync with picasa web albums, so anything added there will appear in gallery.
I've never used picasa but I'm gonna give it a try.

Move everything into your internal sd card. I know it sucks and it's not as secure but just make sure you backup regularly. It got really annoying deleting the thumbnails once a week and it hasn't happened since I shifted everything to my internal sd.
I had the same problem. Not once, but twice. The first time I deleted the copies from my PC then rebooted. For awhile that seem to work, but just today I had the same problem in multiples of 8 for each pic.
Hopefully someone finds a fix for this
FROYO.UCJI6 Rooted, same issue except I have multiple icons for same pics that dont even exist on the phone anymore. Ive killed gallery, deleted every copy of .thumbnails I can find, rebooted..etc. No avail, folders that no longer exist on the phone show up in gallery, with multiple thumbnails for the same pic, very annoying.
I've been flashing roms like crazy here recently and haven't has problem yet. Though it is said it a leaked rom bug so I'll see if out happens again.

I also had that same problem with the cog ROMs. I tried many of the suggested solutions, including deleting .thumbnails. Unfortunately, nothing ever worked.
I have since switched to Perception, and I haven't had that problem since.
Ok..here is the fix from other thread
With root explorer delete:
- /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.media/externalXXX.db
- /sdcard/Android/data/com.cooliris.media
reboot
Good luck

I took a few pictures on Friday but now they aren't in my gallery. Anyone else have this issue?
few questions...
are you rooted? if so, which rom are you running?
also, have you used a file manager to browse and see if the files are still on your phone? normally scdard/media/dcim houses picture/video files made with the phone.

Not rooted, just plain old stock for the time being. Haven't searched for them like that yet. I just noticed they had disappeared from my gallery.
i would check to see if the files are still on the phone.

Not normal, yes as suggested browse through your gallery thoroughly or use a file manager app like Linda File Manager.
Through the camera app there is a way to view photos youve already taken.
If You can preview them they have to be somewhere within your Inspire
Very strange. They definitely were not in my gallery. I hooked up my phone to my laptop and there they were in the DCIM folder. Now they appear back in my gallery after disconnecting the phone from my laptop. Not exactly sure what was going on there.
Thanks for the help guys.
If it happens again bring the phone back for another one. It could also be the SD card. Try doing a full format on a computer for it and put the files back on.
What could make my gallery not read my pics. I have to use quikpic. Or even winamp not reading mp3's. I have to use poweramp. Thanks in advance. Tried reformatting sd card once and still didn't work.

Hm, you check the format of the pictures or the music? Sometimes the gallery or media players don't understand some formats.
My pics are jpg and music mp3. Should be read. Thanks for responding.

you tried quickpic and it didnt work?? what i would suggest is removing the sd card from your phone. then saving all of the media (media only!) on the computer. format the sd card on the computer (fat32). then put the sd card back in your phone. format it on the phone. then connect the phone to the computer and copy all of the media back onto it. reboot recovery. clear cache and fix permissions and see if it works.
Thats the thing. It does work with quickpic. And poweramp plays fine. Gallery is useless. Lot of other players wont read mp3. Have reformatted in past on PC too.

go into cwm and fix permissions.
Done that. Doesn't matter which rom I use also. Thanks.

then you are doing something wrong. if quickpic can see the pictures, then it is not a hardware problem. go to setting and manage applications and clear all data, cache and updates to the gallery. then go back and fix permissions.

Did all that and still not working. Took couple of pics and they came out in gallery. Restarted phone and now they cant be found. In quickpic I have to show all hidden for them to show. Might be something about the tags. Don't know.

this one is perplexing. can you try to switch the apk with one from another rom and see if that works?

Is there supposed to be a nomedia file in that folder. Dcim/camera etc. I dont have one.

I'm running Valhalla 1.3.2 and my folder is /DCIM/camera.
**EDIT**
I also have a thumbnails folder in /DCIM
I hope this helps and you resolve your problem.
Dude same was happening with just check your SD Card for errors from your PC...My problem was fixed after this no need to format or change your ROM just check for the errors from your PC.
Hi All,
The gallery doesn't show all photo's which i've made...just a few photo's ( 30 ).
When i am mannually searching in the DCIM folder using a file manager, i see 74 photo's....
My S6 isn't rooted or something like that.
Anyone else who has this problem?
Cheers,

Confirmed. Gallery shows 96 photos and there are 105 in the DCIM folder. That's odd and not cool.

i've been having the same issue since day one. tried wiping data and cache from both "media storage" and "gallery" and then rescaning everything with media scanner app but it didn't work. hope someone will find a fix for this. i'm using quickpic for now.
Haven't done anything to test this. But have you checked to see if any of the photos in the gallery are burst shots? Gallery groups them as a single shot. I'm assuming DCIM folder shows them all individually. Just a thought and I could be totally wrong.

Good call. Tested. That is exactly what is happening with mine. I didn't even realize burst was enabled - I must have shot some bursts without realizing it.

Hi, None of them are burst shots...
But when i am using quickpic, i am able to see all the photo's. Even the photo's like whatsapp images's/downloaded photo's.
It's just with the gallery that i'm not able to see all photo's, just a few photo's....I have sorted the photo's as "time". When i'm sorting the photo's as "album" it is the same ( not able to see all of the photo's).... really strange.
Out of curiosity, if you use the Google "Photos" app, do you see all of them?

You enable burst by just holding the shutter button, there is no burst function in the menu. Thats why a lot of people take burst shots without even knowing.

when i am using google photo's it's the same! I only see a couple of picture's... (The same pictures)
helloooooo! !!
I fixed the problem! !!
first, plug it into a computer, and manually erase the .nomedia file.
second, go to app manager, clear cache/data from Gallery, and force stop it.
now, open the app again, and you must be able to see all pics and videos again
