everytime I copy some images to the sd card, gallery works fine updating, but if the images are moved to a new location, or deleted, gallery won't be updated and the thumbnails point to the previous location.
whats the solution (except for restarting the phone everytime)
Try pulling out the sd card. Just once. May sound simple but should reset the gallery n Mayb kick start something in the phone. Just a thought. If u haven't already

Does anyone else experience a force close of the Gallery when they attempt to add a photo to an album? I.E - Gallery.. Pick a picture.. Menu.. Add to album.
Thanks,
Rick
I am having force close issues and problems saving pictures when I was saving to my SD card. I switched to internal storage and everything is now fixed.

Could it be the sd Card? What card do you have?

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I am having this issue. Has anyone found a fix?
I have tried, moving pics over to internal storage, formatting sd card and moving back, and even taking a new picture. So far no luck
I never found a fix, and MR5 did not appear to fix the problem either.. This happens if my photos are stored on internal memory, or on a card..
guess I will hit the motor phoroms in the morning. Thanks for the update.
Just wanted to update this. I also ran into the issue of not being able to record videos as well, or them being deleted if it did record.
A few hard resets later and i found a work around. Hard reset and clear cache, and only add your google account. then open the camera and set up the sd card etc. then go into gallery and add a pic and make an album. After that is should work. I am not sure if it the camera not searching the sd card or adding facebook that causes it, but this is what has worked for me on 3 occasions now.
Does anyone have any problems with the stock gallery thumbnails?
Mine shows each small thumbnail as black and white and split in two, disjointed and then wrapping back round again.
Once I open a picture \ video they load fine but it makes finding pictures hard as you can't tell which is which.
I probably wasn't very clear when writing that. The pictures show what I meant with my gallery... Anyone have any ideas?
try unmounting the SD card in settings, and then restart the phone. That might force the gallery to rescan the SD card for images and refresh the thumbnails.
I would suggest using root explorer to clear the thumbnail cache, but i don;t know where it's stored...
Tried unmounting the sd and also deleting the the thumbnail folder on the sd card. No luck
Someone must have come across this?!
Is there a way I can reinstall the stock app?

Hi! Could anyone suggest what should I do if my older photos disappeard from my gallery? I made a Fix permissions and an FXP133 reinstall (without any wipe, because I was an idiot and I wanted to replace the Contacts app but I failed and I couldn't restore the original Contacts app so I thought maybe if I reinstall only the ROM, it will working again). Before and after the reinstall I made a permissions fix in ROM manager. Now the Contacts app working, but I found that all of my older photos disappeard from the Gallery. It shows only those photos which have been made since the reinstall/perm. fix and my Picasa web albums. I checked in the file manager and all the photos are still there, but I can't make the gallery to show those photos... Should I reinstall the whole ROM again with wipe or there is an easier solution with less work? Thanks

I sometimes get something similar on my stock ICS where the camera, gallery or any other similar apps show the photos, videos or music that's on my sdcard.
I'm not sure what causes it, but I think it's an issue with the sdcard indexing. It's generally fixed by either deleting a picture (make a copy of one and delete it) or by adding a new one. That normally forces the phone to reindex the sdcard and everything turns up again. Sometimes I need to reboot first, but the issue doesn't last for too long anyway since I'm always taking pictures or downloading stuff.
It's a good excuse to make sure your sdcard is backed up though.
Thanks, but that way is not working for me, because since this problem cam up, I already made at least 15 photos, deleted some and not just the rest did not come back, but the new ones also getting disappear constantly... :S and meanwhile I already re-flashed the kernel and re-installed the whole fresh ROM (CM9 FXP133) with full wipe (fact. reset, cache p., dalvik) and the gallery still doesn't show the older/newer photos... So yes, now I think that the problem will be somewhere in my SD card too... I think I will backup my stuff and make a full format, that's my last hope... :/

Okay, it worked. I formatted my miniSD card and restored the most important stuff. Now the gallery shows the photos again. Hurray

That's good to know. Must have been a bad memory card. A lesson to us all..back up your phone!
Yes, sadly something definitely wrong with my SD card... And this is not the 1st case. Earlier, after a simple data transport from notebook to SD card (which I have already done a million times), my phone (and later also my notebook) couldn't recognize the card anymore... I had to format the card from windows' disk manager manually to make it work again. I hoped that it was just an accident, but after this problem which also caused by the card, I think I have to buy a new card shortly... (After 11 months using...)

Hey guys i have a slight problem last night i transfered a folder from my internal sdcard to my external sdcard but after it transfered my gallery would not show my camera pictures i factory reseted my phone. Cleared memory storage data and gallery data as well...any suggestions?

hi jason
are you sure your SD is mounted and recignized?
try to pull it off, and re-insert it. afterwards reboot your device.
if it still isn't recognized try to read it with a card reader\another device and backup+format it.
All the photos in the sd show up perfectly its the internal sd that doesnt show pictures. Also it looks like the root directory has been changed to sdcard/storage/sdcard0

What if your ext-sd damaged inside? Did you try to another sd card? Music player read your mp3 from that sdcard? Or a file explorer app can see and open your pictures?

I have a similar problem. My external SD card is mounted and browsable using ES File Explorer and all my media files are visible and viewable from ES. However, none of the media files on the external card appear in the various apps (i.e. pictures not visible in gallery, mp3s in the music player etc.). What is even stranger is that once I set the stock camera to save new pictures to the external SD these pictures are visible in the gallery, however all other pictures present taken on my previous phone (HTC Desire) are still not visible, even when located in the same folder. The same pictures do show up if I transfer them to the internal SD card but I would rather not have them all stored there.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Cheers,
Sam

I have the direct opposite problem, my internal doesn't show, whereas met ext-sd is visible in my apps. Need help too!
I have resolved this on mine, I formatted the external sd card and copied everything back. I guess the S3 just didn't like reading a card formatted by the Desire, I'll know better next time!

Search inside your photo folders. If you see a file named .nomedia delete it.
This is because you're using third party file manager. Use the stock My File to move the files back and forth and it will show up in the gallery.

I read somewhere that there was a bug in cwm manager latest version which put a .nomedia file in the root directory. There are fixes where you have to remove the .no media file and reinstall cwm.

sd card does not show on my lg optimus p509, while it works on other phones and pcs. it shows sdcard umnounted or not inserted while i was sending a file through bluetooth before, and from then onwards...i have formatted it through pc also. i had rooted it with superclickone before. it is from t-mobile and i have unlocked it in my country. current software version lg-p509-v10l, android version 2.2, kernel 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1 sun oct 24 19:10:09 kst 2010, build number FRF91. thank you...
My sd photos do not show in my Gallery
Dears,
All you need to do rather than resetting your phones is simply go to your application manager and clear the cache and anything for the Gallery as an application. And make sure that you also acquire the Gallery app with all the needed permissions to access your sd card. Then open your Gallery app, and there you go.
Enjoy!

I was surprised yesterday after re-flashing the stock LSD, and seeing that the media scanner problem draining 60% of the CPU was back.
I had it dont remember if on LS8 or other before, and it was easilly patched by setting the camera folder location to external SD/DCIM and moving everything there. However, with this LSD, that doesn't work anymore :S
There's any way to get rid of this? Or its impossible to make your battery last more than few hours on stock LSD?
Thanks in advance!
I'm on lsd and did the sd thing, no media scanner trouble.
Are you sure the pics are going to the ext sd?
Set it up in camera settings.

Thanks gastonw!
On the camera settings, I've selected external SD as storage option. I've tested and when I make a photo, the image goes there (external SD/DCIM/Camera/.)
However, I just noticed that the thumbnail file, doesn't go to the external/DCIM/.thumbnail, but moves to the internal SD card DCIM folder :S
I've deleted Camera, Galery etc Cache's, the interal SD/DCIM folder has only the 2 empty folders, Camera is set to store on external SD.. and the photos are stored on the external SD and the thumbnails on the internal SD..is this normal?
No it's not and that's why media scanner is going crazy.
Sent from the little guy
:S Any clue why thumbnails are being stored there?
I have no idea, my internal SD/DCIM folder has a .thumbnail folder empty and the Camera folder empty, and the external SD has all the stuff in the same DCIM folders..
What is wrong here? Where is the option to set the thumbnails storage location? apparently it isn't the same than the camera one
Post a screenshot.
Sent from the little guy
What do you mean?; Screenshot of what exactly?
My problem is that media Media scanner runs for 6m33s everytime I reboot the phone (then stops) even with the DCIM folder empty, and that even when the photos get stored in the external SD DCIM's, the gallery thumbnails are stored into the internal one . How can I screenshot this? :S
I dunno, I don't get how a thumbnail is storaged the way you say it's storaged.
Post a pic of the internal DCIM folder and cache.
