So, Heres the deal. Oneplus, rooted (has been for a while) Currently on Cyanogen 5.0.1 but the problem started before this. I tried to use a different rom thinking that it might work but didn't so I had the same problem on the stock rom. Anyway, the camera takes a picture and saves it. Gallery recognizes said picture and everything is fine. I download a picture from the web. It will not show up in the gallery at all. Or google photos. I move it to another folder, any folder. nothing. I use a file explorer app, any app, and i can see and view the picture, but gallery still does not recognize the picture. Any idea why? they are saved as JPG. Please ask any more questions. I have not tried a reset yet. This started after i was gone for a month and the battery died.

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?

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

The default location for pictures taken with the stock camera app is on the sdcard in the folder named: /DCIM/Camera
Did you do anything like root your phone via the oem unlock procedure before the pictures disappeard?
Happens to me quite often, just close the gallery and then re open, or reboot the phone. That has worked for me every time.

I've switched to using Quickpic. Much faster than stock gallery. just no fancy 3d effects.....but i never really liked it anyway.
Fortunately (or unfortunately) a report has been filed and many people share similar issues with the Gallery. Please visit the report and star: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13419
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.
since i've updated to 2.3.3, i've noticed that some pictures are missing from phone. i think i had the issue with 2.3.2 as well. noticed video missing as well. this really gets to me since the pictures just randomly get deleted from the phone. i've googled it and it's a common problem. does anyone have a fix for this yet?
My understanding is that the pictures arn't actually getting deleted, just the gallery isn't displaying them. To be sure, connect your phone to your PC and browse to the pictures, they should all be there.
I believe I saw a 'fix' somewhere about installing a different gallery manager app, and that that seemed to fix the issue. I can't remember which forum I saw it on, so please don't quote me.
This used to happen to me on my NS. It would look like the photos where deleted but then when I would check later on they would be their ,and that was on 2.3.2
As we say in French: "Dans le doute, reboote". (When in doubt, reboot). Your pictures will be back in the gallery. That's the only workaround I found for the moment...
I've had this but the pictures *are* deleted. I do not trust the Gallery app anymore, and only use QuickPic (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&feature=search_result).

Quickpic is the way to go!!
I use Quickpic as well cuz the gallery app sucks. I just lost pics and a video that i converted and moved onto my phone. They are gone. Can't find them using my computer to browse my phone, can't find them using ESfile explorer either. Rebooted. Still gone
Can't find a fix anywhere. Not happy.
At least I didn't lose data on my iPhone.
I have had this happen to me too, but i had the app AndExplorer on it and i read something where it said that this app was known to delete files just randomly, so if you have this app.. id suggest using Linda Manager or another file manager instead..
Here is what you can try when you see pictures not showing up in gallery3D app:
Stop or FC Gallery.apk so it's not running
Use root expolorer (or some other expolrer capable of displaying files and folders starting with ".")
Browse to /sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails
Delete all pictures and files you see there (those are thumbnails only)
You might have to reboot the phone but usually you can just start Gallery and it will regenerate (slowly) all your thumbnails again.
Gallery3D app creates the folder called ".thumbnails" for which it stores all thumbnails of your pictures for quick screen draw on the 3D interface. If for some reason you copy your pictures from one place on SD card to another or you add new pictures without Gallery.apk running they wont show up because thumbnails were either deleted or never created.
I have been using my S7 Edge for about a year, and it has been updated to the latest firmware and apps.
The first crash of the S7 Edge happened more than a month ago. It happened when I was viewing my photos with Google Photos. It went completely dead. Even the boot loader had some error. So I had to have it flashed with a new firmware. A couple days ago, the same thing happened again. But this time I tried with some force starts and cache wipe-outs, it came back. But still it kept crashing when I use Google Photos or even Gallery to access my photos. I deleted the caches and the data of the two apps, but it still wouldn't eliminate the crashes.
What did I do before the crashes happened? The only thing major is that I copied all of my photos to my Mac, and removed the Camera folder thereafter, both with Android File Transfer program on the Mac.
But I had done the same before and had not had any problems. So what's been different during these couple of months? The only thing I did that I hadn't done before is that I had some collages created with Google Photos. These collage files resided in the Google Photos folder. Deleting Google Photos' data does not get them deleted. Of course another thing different is that the firmware got updated.
How to get rid of the crashes? I manually removed the Google Photos folder (that contained the collage files), and the phone becomes stable.
I don't know why it happens, but it appears the collage files are linked with the original photos that no longer exist, so memory becomes corrupted which then causes the system to crash.
I think this is more of a bug of Samsung's firmware. I hope this brings their attention to fix it.
The way to re-created the problem is as follows: (This is basically what happened in my cases, but I am not going to further test this on my phone. I hope someone with a spare phone or some QA engineer at Samsung could test this.)
1) Create some collages with Google Photos.
2) Remove the Camera folder with Android File Transfer. (I can't say whether removing the folder with My Files app would cause the same problem).
3) Start Google Photos or Gallery and review or edit some photos. Note that the crash does not happen immediately after removing the Camera folder. The odds of a crash may be larger, I guess, when the folder contained a lot of photos.
