Just curious if anyone else found a lot of their photos missing after the 2.3.3 update? I can't be certain that it happened immediately afterward because the Gallery App has been buggy from the start, but going into the directory with both Astro and through my PC, it seems that they are gone.
Luckily the best ones were already uploaded to my fb, but it is kinda scary not being able to trust that my photos will be stored after I take them.
I had a issue on .2 try rebooting then gallery

I didn´t have or force the update but just yesterday I noticed that some (actually a lot of pics and all my videos ) pics and vids are missing from my gallery, remaining only the the images thumbnails and its full pics.
I think that other software update did that. I updated some in the last days but I´m feeling that Gun Bros did it ´cause it was a major update (100mb)...
Very anoying bug, I had videos and pics from my family, specially from my nephew that live overseas and saw him for the first time...
A frustrating glitch shared by many others, including myself. Please star the report here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13419

Has anyone else been experiencing a delay in photos taken from the camera showing up in the Gallery? It doesn't happen consistently, but happens more often than not. I take a photo, exit to home screen, open the gallery app, and my photos do not show up. One workaround is to un-mount/re-mount the SD card to kick off the media scanner, but this is a pai to do each time I want to review my recent photos. If there is a known fix for this I would appreciate a hint.
I noticed this happening the other for the first time as well... What was strange was that the first 2 or 3 pics showed up immediately but the next 2 took a while. Not sure what is up....

Yeah this is an issue on all android phones unfortunately, I don't know why.
I have found that they wont load until media scanner has run to reload them. Like if I copy a pic from a web site it wont load till after I force media scanner to run and then they show up.
I have the same issue, I just downloaded an app called "ScanMedia" from the market and run it after taking pics... Its free, fast and works perfectly.
ScanMedia Market Link
Thanks d3v14n7 - I tried the ScanMedia app and it works as advertised. Looking forward to a widget version to eliminate a button click.
On Andromeda and the latest speedmod all my pics show up instantaneously. Have you considered flashing a different rom?
I have been running flashed with Cognition v2.3b8 for about two months. I experienced the same delay issue with stock ROM as well with my rev of Cognition. I see that T90 expressed having the same problem running Andromeda 1.1. I may flash over to a rev of Assonance to see if it exists there. Else I'll scour the various ROM posts to see if a release note mentions a fix for this. Thanks for the suggestion.
I flashed to Andromeda 2.1 and experienced no gallery lag when taking pictures, movies or downloading images for over a week worth of use. The orange theme didn't play nice with Gmail app and contacts (black on black issue), so I flashed to Andromeda 1.2. Running 1.2 for 5 days with no gallery lag experienced so far.
Well yeah, the phone has to mount the sdcard. The delay only happens on the first time you run the gallery though, so not a big deal.
Try "Quick Pic" from the market. Does everything gallery does a lot quicker.
Can't say as I have had this issue more than a couple of times and I use my camera for video and pics quite a lot. They might take a second or two to show up in the gallery if I open it up the first time after taking the photo, but they usually do show up. Running completely stock 2.2 since I bought the phone in August. Weird that you are having to mess with mounting the SD card or run a media scan - I would say that is definitely not normal.
I have also started using quickpic as well, but that is only within the last week.
Hello,
I just discoverd that my Nexus S is sorting the pictures in the Android gallery in a very strange way.
I have pictures without geo-tag and some with geo-tag. All the pictures with geo-tag are somehow sorted under a wrong date. That means they are on the wrong place in the gallery. But when I check the details of the picture there is the right date in the file information.
This problem seem to apply only to geo-tagged pictures.
It's a little bit hard to describe. Here an example.
I took a picture on the 24th APRIL WITH a geo-tag. When I scroll now through the gallery the picture appears among the pictures I took on the 24th MARCH. When I check the details of the picture it still says "taken on 24th April".
Did anybody experience the same behaviour or do you have any idea what causes it and how it can be fixed?
Thanks!
Same thing here, I think it's a known bug though along with some pictures disappearing from the gallery and the gallery not displaying photos at full resolution. Try quickpic if you want an alternative. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder
I'd love it if someone would just fix the stock gallery though and repost it to the market - it's a pretty photo viewer!
i would just like to add that i'm experiencing similar issues as well
the stock gallery app doesn't sort my pictures correctly after a while (it may seem ok at first.. but take some shots and videos everyday, you'll see the order beginning to mess up..)
this is pathetic considering the maturity of android (this never happen on my iphone 3gs)
Same here since two days
So today was my little girl's first Christmas. After taking about 15 minutes of video and frame grab snap shots on my Pixel (unlocked, but not yet rooted) we moved on to other things only to find that neither the video or the pictures were saved.
I have to assume that these are sitting in temp files somewhere. Anyone have any suggestions?
There is a small thread going on the Pixel support forums on the topic but not much in the way of support traction.
Pixel: video recorded but not saved
My wife is near devastated.
Thanks to all.

Really hate to hear that. Hope you find them.
If there was no error message, then you may be OK. Did you touch the Albums icon at lower right in the Photos app (as opposed to Photos)? Depending on how you configured cloud backup for the Photos app, pics and videos may not show up under the Photos icon.

Thanks. No error messages. No sign of the video or photos in either the Photos app (albums or main photos area) or the camera's built in gallery browser. This is the first time this has ever happened in the 2 months I have owned this phone or in the years of android phones I have had.

Really sucks to hear that this happened.
Maybe someone should test for bug that happens with long length videos.
That's the only thing I can think of as to why it happened.

Thanks.
It was a longer length (15-20 minutes) with multiple pauses and frame grab photos along the way. Both the video and frame grabs were lost. I'm not entirely sure if I even exited the app as I took a number of photos after I took this video and they were fine.
It doesn't seem to be a common issue but sadly I'm not the one who has posted this to Google's support form and had this happen on their kid's first Christmas.
Hi guys,
Last week, Facebook rolled out a new gif button for comments however I don't seem to have it. I'm running the latest beta version of the app but I suspect it was a server side switch anyhow. Everyone seems to have it on iOS but no luck for me on Android. I'm using a S8 with Batman ROM (7.0). Anyone else got it?
Not bragging but I've had Gif support in comments for at least the last month and a half give or take. Maybe the beta version you're on excluded it.
Hmm I've reverted to the regular version but still no good. Just gonna have to sit and wait then I guess. Cheers
Try formatting the data and cache and re install it
Missing it
Critical, we've all had support for gifs. (We can upload them via a normal upload or a link). They've been displaying, we're just missing the gif button. I have the same problem on my S7 edge. Its quite annoying. I've deleted my Facebook app, I've disabled an re-enable my account, I've tried everything. And unfortunately the lovely people at Facebook have no way to be reached.
Got it
So I got in touch with Facebook about a week ago, and today the button seems to be there. Might have been there a couple of days, but I just noticed it. I linked this post and several other with the same thing, so they may have seen the issue seems to be spread out.
So, I just noticed something REALLY weird today and I don't know what to make of it...
I installed a new app on my phone (Lyft) and it asked me to setup a profile photo. Okay, no problem. I click the option to select photos from my existing collection and it takes me to the gallery to select a photo. I'm scrolling down, looking for a good photo when I suddenly come across photos that I did not take. There's about 30 of them and they look like they were taken at a Energy Conference in Beddington, UK on November 26th. I live in Washington State, USA and have not been anywhere near the UK and my phone has not gone missing or been out of my sight for the last few weeks. This is strange and creepy. How are someone else's photos on my phone?
I start doing a bit of investigation. I close the Lyft app and open my gallery app on my S9+. I scroll through all my photos, but these stranger's photos are not showing up no matter how I sort the display settings. I open up another app (Uber) and go to change my profile photo. I opt to choose from my gallery and there's the stranger's photos again. I notice that the file name, file size and date of the photo is provided in this view, so I connected my phone to the PC and ran a search for some of those file names and came up with nothing. I searched my phone using my file manager app and also found nothing.
Someone on Reddit recommended I try using my email app to send myself the image so I can investigate the details. This worked, but only deepens the mystery! It seems like the photos were taken with an Olympus Digital Camera (not even a smartphone!) and the date taken was from way back in 2006!?
At this point I'm out of ideas. I have no clue why these mystery photos are on my phone and can't find out how to find/delete them or how they got on my phone in the first place.
It's so freakin' weird! I'm sharing a few screenshots here in case it helps anyone else identify my issue. If anyone has thoughts, please share them.
P.S. My phone was purchased new over a year ago. If anyone cares, I posted this on Reddit before coming here seeking additional help. You can see the Reddit thread here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS9/comments/e5okh4/really_weird_gallery_issue_with_a_strangers/
wonder if they're embedded in the apps?
One possible reason is that it's just downloaded by some other app, e.g. Facebook downloading photos from a post that you came across. If you don't remember anything related, did you ever have anyone else using your phone?
The Samsung gallery is written by Samsung while the system file picker (called DocumentsUI) is mainly written by Google, so they might be having different strategies on what photos to hide, e.g. Samsung thinks Facebook photo download directory shouldn't be shown, while DocumentsUI doesn't, so it's entirely possible that you can only find the photo via picker.
