I have a HTC HD2 running android 2.3.4.
When I got the phone I copied a bunch of photo's in several dir's on a micro SD with a card reader.
Everything worked fine and amazingly quick (had a HTC HD with WM6.1 before)
I installed a bunch of apps after that.
A couple of days ago I wanted to add some photo's.(again by cardreader)
The photo's I added showed up black in the gallery and failed loading.
I tried making directories (pictures ) but after rebooting there where gone,with the photo's .
Somebody here know what I am doing wrong ?
I have the exact same problem. . .with two diff Android phones, two diff memory cards. So F-ing frustrating. Any resolution?

First time happened was back in about a month ago. One day I noticed some of my pictures were gone ( may be 15 to 20 of them ) I could not find them in any where such as SD card internal/external the strange thing was some pictures still there until today so the defective SD card is ruled out and I was still using the stock firmware 2.3.3 then I also noticed there are other pictures ( almost 100 of them ) not actual pictures they just blank but all with different file names like: My piano, A day in Hollywood etc, etc.
No body has been messing up my phones because it stays with me at all times. The question is who deleted my pictures and put a bunch of files back? Could it be happened remotely like some one using Bluetooth to mess around if the person is happened to be near by? later on I upgraded my phone to 2.3.4 through KIES and hope it will help me to solve the mystery but it did not. By now I know those pictures are long gone...
Two or three days later I upgraded my phone to 2.3.5 until I found the official FW XWKL1 here in XDA, again, upgraded.
So some days later I decided to change song for my ringtone I found out all of them have been replaced by some files with number names. 41203,41204 the list go on...When I use Astro to look for my songs and they are all there ( inside the music folder ) I went back & click one of the number file to see what kind of song and the player pops up a message saying the file format is not supported. It took me almost 30 min to figure out and delete all the number files under MUSIC then I see all my songs back.
My question is has my phone been hacked or infected by viruses/spyware? Or software glitch? I don't have data plan. To go online I use my home wifi all the time.
If some one can help I'll be really appreciated.
Sounds like a problem with the sd card or phone itself.

But most of the pictures and songs are still there that was why I think the problem is not in SD card other than these problems the phone is functioning good in all aspect.
Highly doubt someones in ur phone.

Sounds like the card is corrupted. Just make a backup of everything on the card, and do a full format (not quick format) of it from your computer. That should fix it. I had a similar problem too recently. New files I transferred would get deleted and old deleted files would reappear. Maybe the file table is messed or something, I don't know, but a full format fixed it for me.
Note: Preferably use a card reader, or if you mount it as mass storage from your phone, do it from recovery if you're rooted. Otherwise just mount it as you would normally and proceed.

I had the same problem.
I had the same problem.
The solution was format SD card , after Back up some things i wanted from the card.
Hey all.
Right, so I have a problem.
I have a Kingston 16 GB Mixro SD Card I purchased from amazon. I recently transferred some .mkv anime fils over to it, using the USB cable and MTP mode. Worked fine, the files played flawlessly in MX Player.
Then I wanted to play them on my Note 10.1, cause of the bigger screen and front facing speakers, I thought it'd be a better experience. I setup MX Player on my Note 10.1, unmounted my SD Card from my S3 and mounted it into the Note 10.1.
The files weren't playing properly, so I unmounted it from the Note and mounted it into my S3 again. All was well. So I thought.
I went to the gallery, only to find that, instead of giving me the folder overviews like it usually did, it gave me black boxes without and folder names either! So I closed it, stopped it using the app manager within settings and I tried to open it again. No luck.
So I cleared the data of both the Gallery and Camera apps and it worked for a brief moment. And froze again. So I decided to search about and found a thread on a forum. The person had similar issues to what I had, but his device was set to unofficial, despite the fact he said he hadn't rooted it or anything. So I looked at my device status.
Lo and behold, it said unofficial, despite the fact I hadn't even installed the damned xda forum app on it, let alone use ChainFire's rooting mastery on it! The forum said that booting without an SD Card fixes this. So I did, and it worked. But I tried to put my SD Card back in, as it contains all my data, but Gallery kept freezing on me.
What the hell is going on?!?!
CONDENSED VERSION:
Wanted to.play some files from my SD on my Note 10.1, didn't play properly. Put the SD Card back in and Gallery freezes and device status is modified. Help?

does the sdcard work properly on the pc? try formatting it and put it on fat32 file system.
if i were on your place i would just do a factory reset and flash the same stock rom from odin(on both devices). that way you can isolate the problem, the sdcard.
Fixed the issues, backed up my photos, music & text messages and formatted the crap out of the card. Copied data back on, rebooted & voila, Gallery is working again and its back of 'official' status
Thanks for the advice any way Pita

...checking new stuff and discovered that all stuff on the sdcard is gone. Working for one week well. Someone with the same experience?
Long story short: Just got my M8 so it is 100% stock, no mods, nothing. I copied my pictures and music from my M7 to an SD card and popped it in the M8. Go to load up the HTC music app, nothing. Go to Google Play music, still nothing. Go to Gallery, even more nothing.
The weird part is that ES File Explorer recognizes and can read the SD card just fine (Not write but I know that's a whole separate ball game), the storage section in settings reports everything correctly. I can even take a picture and move that to the external SD card using the Gallery app and it'll come up just fine, but I then tried moving one of my old pictures I had taken on my M7 into the same folder as the lone picture I took with the M8 and nada, only the new picture shows up. Any particular step I'm missing here?
Found the problem, I'll post the solution here just in case anyone else has the same issue (doubt it but still):
I somehow managed to have a ".nomedia" file in the root of my SD card. Deleting it fixed everything.
Hi all ever since I have a memory card (a simple old one 2 gigs) I have a total chaos in my gallery - old picture showed up in recent dates and vice versa. Also after the Lollipop update, even though I made a back up + I am backing up online automatically with OneDrive, a lot of pictures were missing - oddly from the OneDrive folder as well...Yesterday a picture taken a month ago showed up in 14.04.2015 section, for no reason. what and why is happening ?
