The other day my gf was looking at pics in the gallery and according to her she swiped to the left and the next pic was black. She swiped again and nothing happened. She hit the back button and nothing happened. She hit the back button a few more times and ir brought her back to the main gallery screen. Amazingly the new pic she had just taken were not in the gallery anymore. All other pics were tho. So I snatch the phone from her to see what's up. Turns out I can view those pics she lost with astro but not the stock gallery. I also found out that when I get a call or a msg mt phone only vibrates now. I went to set the tone for msging and all my tones were gone. Again they are there if I browse with astro but ringsextended etc shows nothing. Any ideas wtf happened here?
Btw im using assonance 5.2
For reference I have tried rebooting, pulling the battery and rescanning the media.

Try downloading "rescan media root" from the market and press re-enable media scanner, then wait for the media scanner to finish and try looking in the gallery again.

Thanks for the speedy reply. I actually had that app long before this happened. I tried scanning but it didn't help. I uninstalled it thinking it might be the problem but that didn't work either. Could it be an internal sd problem? Maybe a reflash is in order here? Id rather not but if that's my only choice then so be it.

Well, the only other thing I can think of now is maybe converting your filesystem to rfs if it's on ext4 or vice versa, if that doesn't work, I can't think of anything else.

Im using assonance 5.2 so what ever file system comes with that is what im on. I thought all custom roms changed the file system to something better (ext4?) than the stock system. I have had this rom for a good while now with no probs. What would cause my file system to go haywire out of nowhere like that? I can set ringtones and notifications with astro but they dont soundoff when
I get a call or a text. I can set an alarm tone with astro and it DOES SOUNDOFF when the alarm goes off. Whats up with that? Alarm tones work but no ring/text tones...

I believe most ROMs do change your filesystem, I'm not certain serendipity does.
I'm just trying help, perhaps someone else has a better idea of how to solve your problem.

Morning bump. Still ain't got a clue and hesitant to reflash
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I had this happen once. Visible in file explorer but not in gallery. Stock 2.1 update1 at&t no root, no nothing...
Fortunately for me but maybe unfortunately for you the problem fixed itself after reboot... Maybe it took a couple.
If u mount the phone to ur pc, is everything visible? If so, I would do this:
1. Backup ur media to the pc
2. Grab another gallery.apk file from another rom and using root explorer or super manager, overwrite the apk.
3. If that doesn't work, reflash the Rom - at least everything is backed up

It'll do this to me too. I noticed it'll save some pictures on the ext. SD and the int. I just manually delete photos from the DCIM folder or copy them to my computer. So, check where the pictures are going.
Its a hassle having to go into the file manager to.delete a picture I thought I took

Do you leave your phone plugged in all night? My phone will heat up if it's plugged in and I'm doing something on it. Might want to see if an app is running in the background and causing the heat up.
Yah I plug it in over night only chance I get to.charge it. I've checked for.running apps and none show up that would cause it to over heat. It usually is remedied with a reboot.

Just flashed the latest RG2x MIUI. I've never used MIUI before so I'm sorta figuring things out as I go, it's quite different from what I'm used to. Anyway I'm trying to use the battstat widget which I have installed but it won't show up in the widget list. This is one of those that doesn't actually have an icon to access any sort of settings, so it doesn't show up anywhere at all except in my application lists. Is there a way to get it running without having to change the launcher? I sort of like the whole MIUI feel and would prefer to keep it for a while.
[EDIT: Randomly showed up this morning. Weird.]

You sure you can't find it? All my Widgets always showed up.
Yeah it's just not in there. Except for just reflashing I have done all the normal troubleshooting stuff. Really don't want to reflash either. Maybe someday they will show up in the list.

I think he meant to get rid of the widget itself, not the app you use for messaging. Just delete it off your homescreen and add it back. And if that doesn't work try a reboot, it's probably just that the widget didn't update yet.

just go through your messages and get each one in the screen for a sec or 2. or just delete them all.
see if that fixes it, otherwise try wiping cache in CWM
Or since you use Go SMS, click "Mark all read" and that should solve it.

A normal uninstall will NOT clean everything off the sdcard, use either SD Maid or just go into your sdcard with apps like root explorer to delete the residue files left from uninstall.
Maybe try to restart after you did all that, and try to install it again, see if that works, i fixed a lot of app bugs using this method before, i hope it will solve your problem as well

My girlfriend got her Galaxy S 4G around January and everything was going really great for her. The problems seemed to arise when I updated her phone from Froyo to Gingerbread through Kies. Since then, she constantly sees random force closes, typically while using Navigation, Browser, Contacts, SMS, etc. There is no popup saying "Bla bla has randomly closed...." etc, it just shuts back down to the main screen. Sometimes this will repeat numerous times (trying repeatedly to go to the contacts). I rooted her phone and flashed ICBINB, wiped cache, dalvik, permissions, etc. etc. but the problems have not changed in the least. Has anyone seen or experienced anything like this? It seems like no matter what I do, the phone is just doomed. Only thing I haven't tried (and am seriously considering) is reflashing back to stock Froyo; I don't think she'll mind, as long as she can use her phone peacefully. Thank you for any and all help.

For the voodoo sound bit go to settings, then applications, manage applications, find the voodoo app and click it clear data and then uninstall the voodoo sound app. Reboot the phone and reinstall from the play store.

Just an update: new from is great and she loves it. Still experiencing force closes, however. Seems the biggest culprit is opening the phone app and clicking on either the contacts or call log tabs. Those love to shut down (with no message) all the time.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA
It's actually not force closing...i had that problem before and it would happen randomly. It got to the point where i was trying to quickly select a contact or start a message before it would return to the home screen. I never found out what was causing it though. Try a new kernel. I think it happened less or went away. I haven't had the problem in awhile and i think that was the only difference. I'm on erikmm's miui now and haven't had that problem.

Or try something like GoContacts EX from the market. It is a dialer and contacts. Theme it. Customize it. I find it a lot better than stock.
Maybe reboot to recovery and fix permissions. Only use a third party app once you get the stock working. That's like putting a bandaide on a cut that needs sutures.

If you don't use stock stock dialer or contacts - it is not a bandaide. It's a replacement.

He stated the forces closes is when opening dialer and contacts. He has been pretty good at giving info on what he is using. So it's safe to assume it's the stock dialer/contacts app.
I don't disagree that using a third party app can/is nice. But if there is a problem with the stock it needs fixed first. Eventually it will create bigger issues if not fixed. Plus the Rom he is on there shouldn't be any problems.

I appreciate all of your help and suggestions regarding the matter so far. As it stands I haven't had a spare second to flash a new kernel on her phone, but she hasn't seemed to have any problems (knock on wood) since that day; I'm sure it's only a matter of time before it comes back to haunt her, though. I'll try fixing permission for the heck of it, but I did that when she was running ICBINB to no avail.
I'll post an update as soon as I flash a different kernel, but despite all the drama she loves it more than ever!
