First of all, I'm on an unrooted Thunderbolt with stock Sense UI and am using the stock gallery as well as the stock camera app.
Today, three different times, I've had some weird problems with my gallery. I'll load it up to find thumbnails of old pics that I've already transferred off my phone. For example, I took pics 36 - 40 (including video 5) off my phone and have two new pics (41 and 42) on there currently. When this strange reload happens, of which I cannot figure out, it shows pics 36 - 40 and the one video in there and not my recent pics. All of the pics won't open (rightfully so as they are no longer on the phone) and some will have missing thumbnails with a little icon on it, making it seem as if they are corrupt (which is what I thought when I first saw this).
The only way to fix this I've found is to use this app I have called SDrescan. I haven't tried restarting the phone as an option. It might work or it might not.
What would be the cause of this? I tried to recreate what I was doing at the time this happened those three times but it just seems to happen after a while. I would really like some insight to this as it's annoying to not be able to upload a pic I just took due it not recognizing it in the gallery.

Has anyone else had an issue with TouchFLO restarting while scrolling through pictures on the today screen? it seems that some images cause it to crash.
I've been having this issue, as well..
been happening to me too...Ive hard reseted 3 times now....always resets on the third picture....no matter what picture it is.
if you have photos taken with any other camera but the one in the TP it will do it. Seems like a well known bug.
Remove the others and the issue goes away. Don't bother hard resetting, you'll just waste your time.
had this problem too. I notice that this is happening because the pics you are trying to view in touchflo are saved in your my pictures folder on your memory card and that is what causes the problem.
If you take the pics and put it in DCIM then the 100 media folder it will fix the problem. To test this you'll notice that new pics you take will scroll just fine but anything you already had saved won't. hope this helps
thanks Ill give it a shot.
Fixed it...thanks man.
quick question bout pics on touchflo
dont have a TP yet waiting on the fuze.
does it show every picture found anywhere in the memory card? or just folder you allow it
i am having the same problem but this fix didn't fix it for me.
I moved all the pictures i had in the My Pictures folder in the memory card and placed them in the 100media folder, and then I took about 4 new pictures and it still kills and restarts TouchFlo.
Any other suggestions?
im not seeing this issue and i have a lot of photos on the memory card. none of them were taken from the PROs image sensor.
what are the common factors between people who are having the problem? i want to see if i have the problem or not...

Most of the pics on my memory card were taken with a Mogul but the first 7 or 8 photos are from the TP. I can see the fourth photo before I flick it.
grr yeah, i just removed all the mogul photos, about 150MB worth!, and its working fine now. It is even scrolling through photos in other directories just fine.
Have to find a way to tell the TouchFlow to only look at one directory so i can keep these other photos on the card somewhere.
OR, it might be that i have to many photos??
I am having the same issue of the restart off touch flo but mine happens when I select people. it restarts everytime.
I am running stock ICS but rooted on Skyrocket. In the past few month or so I have been having issues with viewing some pictures and playing some videos taken with the phone. Many of my videos will play for a few seconds and then stop with a message popping up saying "unable to play video"
As far as my pictures go, I can view them all in the gallery in thumbnail view but when selecting a picture and scrolling through them full size in gallery several pictures simply won't show up and instead a small gray square with the white silhouette of shoulders and a round head appear in the middle of the box with jagged "tear" at the upper right corner.
I have cleared the cache in the gallery, media and camera apps. I have uninstalled the battery and rebooted several times. I have tried other apps to play these videos or show the pictures and same thing. I have done a factory reset as well.
I have a new Sansdisk Ultra 16 gb class 10 micro sd card which I unmounted and mounted several times and removed and inserted several times to make sure it was making good contact. I have also done a hard reset on the phone to return it to the stock ICS with not root and still have the same problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
FYI....my phone has been laggy as hell with the new ICS stock update, using swype and Apex as a launcher. It is driving me nuts....almost to the point of going back to 2.3.5, maybe getting an sIII or maybe getting the dreaded Iphone 5 which I am not sure I can adapt to since I am so use to certain apps and widgets that are not available on the Iphone.
Thanks,
Dave

Sounds like a hardware issue if it happens on both custom and stock roms.....

which in recovery are you on, update to latest sk8's or twrp, make a backup and use titu to backup your apps.
perform a factory reset from within recovery, it will make it stock again, cant remember if rooting sticks but should be fine, its easy to reroot anyways, you will be back to stock apps only, anything you installed will be gone.
if still having issues return to stock using odin, if still having probs you have bad hw

I would have to agree with jyazzie. It sounds just like an issue I had with my original SR. Camera would FC, or if it did open it would not show anything on the screen, except for black.
However if I went to video first THEN changed back to camera, it would work, but would take grainy pics. I contacted AT&T and let them know what was going on. After having gone through 4 hard resets with those scripted "techs", they finally decided that it was a hardware issue.
They sent me a new phone and I sent the old one back in with the caveat that they let me know what happened. It took them a few months but finally I received a message saying that the circuit board for the camera had over heated and melted some of the solder away. Apparently this is a known issue with some of the first and second run models, that when upgraded to ICS caused the solder to melt away.
My recommendation would be to contact AT&T and inform them that you spoke with Samsung about the device (if you have already) , and that they informed you to contact them for a warranty replacement.
I haven't seen anyone else with this issue, but maybe they've just been silent. So, I take a picture, everything is fine. I look in the gallery, everything is fine. But when I go to share the picture either via MMS, uploading to an app, or uploading to a webpage, the image appears on the page but has been rotated 90 degrees. Has anyone else had this issue? It doesn't happen all the time, but enough to be annoying. Somewhere between the gallery and the upload, the picture gets rotated. But if I go into my gallery, the picture is fine. It's only on the site/app that it was uploaded to that it rotates on its own.
Happens in hangouts every time I send a portrait oriented photo. Happens on friends s6's too.
Now that you mention it, it has always happened with pictures taken in portrait mode.
Happens to me also. Emailing pictures they are rotated.
Copied the picture to my computer and when I opened it to edit I got a message indicating that the Exif data indicated that the picture had been rotated and asked if I wanted to rotate it.
Odd that it's not displaying correctly.
Same issue, annoying
This has been happening with the S6 I bought for my wife, and so far I haven't seen anyone post a solution. It seems odd that more people aren't complaining about it though. Hopefully the update they just released addresses this issue, but it's not listed in the changelog. Since I bought it off swappa I'm really hoping it's not a hardware defect.
Hasn't happened since applying the last update, fingers crossed that it's fixed now.
S6 Edge pics rotated 90 degrees
I'm having the same problem, but for me it is more than just annoying. It impacts my work. Perhaps 50% of the time, pictures I post to the professional app related to my job are rotated 90dg. More than just annoying, it's unprofessional.
As far as I know, my phone is up to date with updates. In fact, this problem may not have started until the last update.
Please advise.
I've had this problem both with my S3 with various stock and AOSP roms (and different camera apps) and now on the S6 on stock and XtreStoLite as well. After googling a lot and occassionally encountering other people's flipped photos I learned this is a problem with how the phone handles EXIF data and how certain apps or software on the computer handle it. Apparently the info of rotation is changed (90, 180, 270 and 360) but some apps ignore it while others don't. It could be another case of Samsung messing too much with source codes.
Then again, my cousin has the same problem with his iPhone..
Hi there, when i take a picture on my phone and then i click the little box in the camera app to preview it, it takes like 3/4sec (minimum) to fully load a picture and around 6 sec (maximum). even if i flicked straight back to the picture it takes a couple of seconds. similar issue with the album app. its like it loads the picture in installments, section by section.. however, google photos and any other third party app seems to load it (in one go) within a second. has anyone else experienced this?
i have been through the whole factory reset, software update, clearing camera data/cache, xperia companion tool repair and it seems to be a re-occuring issue..
Yes it's really annoying, and I've seen this since album app on Xperia T or even older. Nobody in Sony thought that they could update this app to load photos instantly, as the hardware now allows that without a hussle...
I'm trying to figure out the how & why of this, as well as how to fix the problem.
I'm working with a fire phone that has cyanogenmod 11 (android 4.4.4).
I took it on an epic 3-day trip during which many pictures were taken using the OpenCamera app (recommended for this version of CM on the Fire). A few of the pictures were looked at during the trip, but they were not really examined.
No opencamera settings were changed before or after the trip.
At the end of the trip, there are no pictures at all. Pictures from before the trip started are saved, some (but not all) GPS tracks are saved, but there are no photos.
If I take a photo now, it is saved and appears in the gallery.
I tend to think that this is an android problem, not an opencamera problem because some GPS tracks are missing as well.
The phone was rebooted 4-5 times during the trip. Any ideas for how & why or what to do?
