This is going to be a challenge trying to get my point across, but here goes.
Lets say i have one image/video in the gallery and i wish to delete this image/video, i mark it for deletion then select delete, the image/video seems to get deleted, i hit the home button and then re-enter the gallery and the image/video has gone, or has it? now, while still in the gallery if i press the back button to exit the gallery then start the gallery again the image/video is now back, it doesn't matter how many times i delete the image/video, it allways comes back, even afer a reboot, now here's the really strange bit, when i check to see if the files have been delete from the USB storage using a file browser i find that they infact have been deleted, but they still show up in the gallery, this behaviour occurs with all image and video files, camera files, received files over bluetooth, etc.
I hope you all can understand what i am trying to say and i hope i got my point across ok, btw, this is the second Nexus S i've had that exibits this issue, i've also done a few factory resets on both Nexus S's i've had, but this issue just wont go away.
This seems to me like it's a bug in Android 2.3's gallery app, does anyone else see this very strange behaviour? could someone test this on thier Nexus S? does Google know about this issue?
BTW, this issue only seems to occur when i delete all images and videos in all folders, or if i delete all folders that are in the gallery, i would have mentioned this earlier but i had only took one video and one pic to test the camera.

Alright, I have been searching with no solution in sight. I have tried everything.
I deleted many videos and pictures from my phone using the usb cable as I've always done. For some reason, this time around, the gallery will not delete the freaking pictures. It shows the gray box as a thumbnail with an exclamation mark and will not delete.
I have deleted the .thumbs folder, I have emptied data/cache, I have deleted the cache in the /com.cooliris.media/ folder. I have tried using gallery 3d (with some success but the folders that I also deleted still show.
I dont know what to do! It's pissing me off. Even folders that I set to private (putting a period before the name) still show up, although no pictures show up inside them.
I have a rooted Evo 4g with Fresh rom. This problem has been going on with every other rom I put in. Any solutions besides throwing this gorgeous phone against the wall and see it splatter into little pieces?
I'm assuming there's some hidden place where this cache is that keeps everything. Gallery will not reload no matter what I delete
Hi Group,
After I upgraded to 2.3.2 I have issues with gallery storage. The photos are going the to gallery but after reboot of the phone they are disappearing.
Anyone with similar problems?
I looked and sure enough there was an image I had taken yesterday missing. Well I took another and rebooted and now the other one is back and the one I took to test is also there. Odd.
yip - also seen this - took a pic, it was not in gallery, rebooted and there it was???!!
I've to say that the stock gallery app is pretty cool when comes to the 3D effect, but really bad for photo management. It always take me too much time to load all the pics, and not all pics will display.
This has happened multiple times to me. I have had to do reboots to see my movies and photos.. It doesn't bother me now that I know how to get them back, but the first time I had the reaction of WTF lol

There are Market apps that let you force a rescan of the sdcard for media without doing a reboot. They might help you in your situation rather than rebooting.
Here's one: http://www.appbrain.com/app/sdrescan/com.bero.sdrescan

The second one requires you to be rooted, the first one doesn't say you need root.
Since 2.3.1
I have been experience this problem often without doing the upgrade. Since day one of purchasing this phone I have had problems in the Gallery with pictures disappearing, substantial load times, and pictures not showing for hours on end (what so ever).
I tried the upgrade to see if it would change anything...it did not.
I have a problem where when I try to open one picture, it'll actually open another one, often from a different album entirely.
Had this problem prior to 2.3.2 and after the update, still have it -- in fact, it seems to occur more frequently.

I am becoming more and more disenchanted by Google and the "pure Android" experience. Random ringtone changes, anyone?
Anybody know why pictures in my website is showing as placeholder on my WP7.5? It used to show up properly, but now just icons appears. I viewed it on my wife's iPhone 4s and the picture shows up normally. Downloaded SurfCube, I still get placeholders. It's a demo reel sites, and everybody's site pictures loads properly. Regional settings? Hidden settings? Anybody knows?
Thanks in Advance.
I would suggest that you clean out all temporary internet files form your phone, as I think your image-cache is corrupted somehow.
You can do this by going into the settings of Internet Explorer and push the button that says 'Clear History'. Don't be fooled by the label, it actually cleans out everything, including caches.
Oh, and don't forget to exit IE, and restart. If not, you will still be holding on to the old files...
I'm not sure if this is a recent problem or if I'm just doing something wrong, but for some reason every time I've recently tried to select a picture on my device for use in another app it will only reset the app after selecting the picture. This has happened on both TweetCaster while trying to attach a photo and on Handcent while trying to Take a new picture which it acts like it does then as soon as I hit okay it resets the app and I guess deletes the picture because I can't find it, this also happens while trying to attach an already saved image and also trying to just set an image on my phone as a background on the conversation window.
Like I said I'm not sure what's going on, but if this can be fixed or anyone knows what's going on please let me know. My phone is not rooted because I'm in the process of contacting Google to replace it so I rather not root it ATM in case any one thinks that a rooting might be the source of the problem.
Thanks in advance,

Ever since I switched to Lollipop, I'm unable to save pictures from certain websites in Chrome. I long press the image, click save image but nothing happens. I have to click open image in new tab, switch to that tab, and then save. Then it works. This happen to some websites, not all. Is anyone else facing the same issue?
