Images not showing up in Gallery - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

Hi All,
I'm trying to copy old photos/videos from a Nokia phone to an Xperia Neo V phone, but I'm unable to get them to show up in gallery.
Xperia is running stock ICS, I've copied files to the SD into the DCIM folder (also tried the pictures/video folders) tried copying through file explorer and through Sony Bridge. I've tried deleting the data on the Gallery apps (both Android and Xperia).
I can see the files when browsing through Astro but they do not show up in the gallery apps.
Any ideas on how to get this to work?
Thanks.

have you tried to mount/unmount sd card, after you copy them?

Yes, tried that, i also tried restarting the phone but no images showed up

they are jpegs I assume?

use rescan media from the playstore

Try clearing cache and data (in Gallery's app info)

Thanks for the feedback guys, i tried all of that. I've deleted the .thumbnail folder, deleted the cache folders from android folder, used rescan nothing worked.
What i ended up doing is taking a backup of the card then formatting it, deleting the data from the both gallery apps and the media service, restarting the phone with the empty card, then copied the files back to the card which seemed to work.
Thanks for your help guys.

[Q] WTH ? Folders on SD card have been renamed

Hi !
After a freeze, I rebooted my phone (KG6) to found out that applications on the SD card were grayed (no more icons).
I connected the phone to my PC to found out that some folders had been renamed ?!
Android is now Andzoid, dropbox is [email protected], and GOSMS is GOCMS ?!
And when I try to rename Andzoid to Android, it doesn't work, the R became a Z automatically. I tried from the phone, it did the same.
Any clue ? Thanks

You have data corruption. Copy everything to PC and then reformat SD card and copy everything back
I'll do that, thanks !

[Q] How do i recover deleted photos from cache on SD card

I took pics with my X10i whilst roaming and when my phone alerted me to delete some pics to create more space, i deleted from the gallery but instead of deleting the folder i selected it deleted all my pics. i thought i was lost but after playing around and searching my files and folders on the SD card, i found the Hi-res image cache and noted that all my pics are there... what a relief... but now my question is : How do i recover these files from cache as when i connected to my pc(running win7) it shows the files and i am able to open via internet explorer but when i click "save as" it says windows cannot find file specified"... please help
Try undelete (for android) or google for files recovery for pc. It should restere them but I don't think it will be high def.

[Q] unremovable icon on gallery

Well, the subject says it all. There is a thumbnail of a talking Pierre the parrot video in my gallery. I recorded some videos and deleted them once using androzip file mgr. But this thumbnail do not go away. I tried many things from removing thumbnail caches to reinstalling the app. When I try to press the menu button after selecting it, the gallery force stops. Pls help. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried holding the icon on the screen you are on now?
Normally, you hold that icon until it has a blue tick, then at the top right, you should see a trash can.
Hopefully, that should work!

Try to click the icon... if it is still playable, the file was not totally deleted... and that explain the icon...

Happened to me once, try rebooting the phone.
it's still there
Thanks guys, I have already tried the things you've told me but there were no good. :-( I can select the item in the gallery. But when I press the menu button, it force closes. There is no delete icon when I select or tick the icon. Plus the file cannot be opened.
P.s. Can I format the internal memory without affecting tue system files? i.e. Android folder etc.? (i have backups for media files)
You can select the repair option in Sony pc companion, be aware that this will delete all internal data such as apps, contacts. All external data will be untouched.
Okay. But formatting the internal memory would affect only to the internal memory right? It doesn't affect the system memory such as android OS data right?

Did you try to wipe just Gallery application data?
One more thing: Try installing for example QuickPic from Play Store and see if there is this phantom image too
Chossing the repair option will erase all data in the internal memory such as for example, your progress in games, contacts, calendar, think of it as when you first bought the phone it will be required to make all the necessary configurations. The files that will remain if they are located in the external memory will be (photos, files, etc).
Thanks for your help everyone!! I'm gonna format the internal memory. First of all I have to fix ma computer. Then I'll back everything up and format the internal memory. Will let ya know the results when I'm done.
One more question. If I format the internal memory, would the default or original sony ericsson apps (e.g. Clock, messaging, music, FM radio etc.) be there after the formattiong process? Or do I lose them forever?
SOLVED!
Yay!! I tried k_myk's suggestion of deleting via another gallery app and it worked!!! Thank you for all of you guys! (specially to k_myk) Now I'm saved!! No need to format!!

[Q] Music apps can't read from SDCard

Hi guys,
I've been frustrated with this issue for a while. By using any kind of file manager, I can see my sd card (under /storage/sdcard1). Can copy file to and from. The same goes when I connect the phone to my PC. But when I try to read music from the sd card, it seems that non of the music apps can see the SD. The same goes with the gallery, can't see any pics from the SD. Tried to clear data from media service but still no luck.
I am using RR Rom, before when I used GB, didn't have any problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!!

[Q] Xperia Go music files missing...

Hi guys, I'm using Xperia Go with stock JB 4.1.2.
I don't remember doing anything that could make it happen, but some of my music files aren't showing in the player, only some of them, and yet when looking in a file manager, everything's in place. What I tried to far in order to solve this:
- Tried a few music players.
- Formatted the SD card and copied everything back.
- Formatted the phone itself.
- Created the folders media/audio as I read in some guide and moved the files there.
None of it worked. Plus, whenever I restart my phone, different songs seem to appear in the player.
Also, it only happens with the music files. All of my photos on the SD card are fine.
Any solutions?
