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?

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.
is there a known gallery bug in this phone?
I have a folder called frame in the root of my sd card. it has some pictures that I want to use with the htc photo album or photo grid widgets. gallery wont see those pictures. there isn't any .nomedia file. i've copy/pasted those files to a different folder that was showing in gallery. those pictures don't show as being in the folder! the pictures were recognized in my OG EVo and on my wife's Xoom. i've force stopped the gallery app, cleared its data, restarted the phone, shut down the phone. don't know what to do, no matter what i've tried, those pictures don't show in gallery!?!
any light you can shed on this would be appreciated!

i think you've done a good job of covering all the basic troubleshooting steps.
the only other idea i have, which is a bit more complex, is to watch logcat for output from the gallery app. once you wipe its data, when it loads up,it should show some output as it scans for files. maybe somewhere in the output it will give a hint as to why it detects some files and why it ignores your files.
unfortunately, i haven't heard anything about this yet and maybe there is a bug. maybe logcat and debug output from the gallery app will shed more light on the issue.
hope that helps! keep us updated.
well it turns out after enough rebooting it does update. i think it may be that whole new idea of fast booting, that it doesn't clear memory and reload the app from scratch. even though I had force stopped the app. now everything is showing, just not right away.
Sure surprised me. The update left everything else intact. The Gallery app doesn't even have my Picasa photos either. I can choose Picasa and it shows the folders, but every album has no content in it.
Update: after a refresh a couple of times the gallery app finally agreed I had albums and photos in Picasa. Still no sign of any photo that was previously on my phone. Even a photo I took in the morning right before I updated the phone has disappeared.
Anyone else notice this?
Are you sure they are missing from the sd card? An OTA update never touches the sd card.
Use a root explorer and see if your photo's are still on your sd card, if you can see them then either your sd card needs to be formated or it could be bad.

Thanks. Found the photos using a file explorer. Can use the file explorer to open the photos using the Gallery app. Apparently they hard coded a change in the Gallery app to where it looks for photos though, because I can see an photo I've take since the update, but there appears to be no way to tell the Gallery App to find and display the prior photos right where they were originally stored on my SD card.
Anyone have an "easy" way to fix this?

Once the File Explorer proved the original photos were still on board, I simply plugged the phone into my PC and moved them to where the camera/gallery app are currently saving/finding photos. Took a moment to thin out and sort them as well. Could have done all this with the File Explorer, but much easier on the large screen of my PC.
Okay, I noticed I had a huge amount of photos and videos, so I copied and pasted the folders under DCIM to my PC.
Today when i went to take new pictures, I hit the gallery icon at the lower right to review one of them, and it takes me to a page that flashes "camera shots" I think at the top real quick, and then ALBUMS with an arrow pointing down.
It used to show my recent pictures here, but now it shows...
"No photos found"
I've rebooted, I've cleared the camera and gallery settings, but this still exists. Pictures I've taken today are in the appropriate folders, the SD card is mounted, and there isn't a nomedia file in the folder. Help?
I hate gallery. It always does stupid junk like that. If you use USB disk transfer, you have to reboot before it recognizes the external SD. Sometimes, you just have to leave it alone for a few minutes and it will fix itself.
Thanks, yeah, it's been a few days, and about 12 reboots.
They show up in gallery, just not when I hit that shortcut icon.
I take that back, they are NOT showing up in the gallery, but they show up in ES File Explorer.
I also tried clearing HTC Sense settings, no good.
I tried wipe data through Titanium Backup, no help.
Anyone?

Have you tried clearing cache and dalvik in recovery?

That did it! Thank you so much, I was really stumped.
I wonder why that worked, and why I didn't think of it?
