Hello there,
I'm on a Telus Samsung Galaxy S3 (at&t) SGH-I747). My problem is that Every time I try a rom, I've noticed that the videos I've taken no longer have a thumbnail (pictures work). New videos taken with that rom will be shown fine.
I've been googling around, and found suggestions to delete cache in the Gallery and media storage apps, followed by a reboot. I've even renamed one of the files, followed by the cache clear and reboot, to no avail. Whenever I do this, I can see the galery is actually being rebuilt because at first no medias are shown, then they appear and I can see thumbnails refreshing for the pictures.. Just not the videos....
Is it possible that the videos taken by the Samsung stock Android rom are different in some way? I would REALLY like to be able to see those thumbnails. Any answer would be appreciated.
I'm currently running CarbonRom 1.6 with JB.
I forgot to mention something... When I take a video using the camera app from the Carbonrom, then rebuild the galery thumbnails through a cache flush of gallery and media storage, those new vids DO get a thumbnail...

Try to do a wipe cache partiton in Recovery Mode then go to advanced and do wype dalvik cache. Then reboot (you won't loose anything)
If not enough : in parameters > Applications > manage applications > Gallery, appshare : delete files and clear cache (you won't loose anything).
And say us if it's better now
Thank You for an answer. I just try all of this that You write about and nothing changed. I dont know is it important but every time I turn on my phone i have a monit 'process android.phone.com force close' twice and there is no signal on my phone but after a minut signal back to normal. Maybe i should just try to format partition in recovery mode?
I had very similar problem that's how I stumbled into this thread. I could solve my headache as I just had to remember that I had disabled "media scanner", therefore no pictures and videos will be loaded to the gallery!
Please make sure that you have not disabled "media scanner"
I once removed al images and movies from my X10.
When I take new pictures, they are shown in gallery with the correct thumbnails.
But, when i take new movies, they are shown with thumbnails from already removed movies.
I tried removing /sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails and clearing all data from gallery at settings - applications.
What must I do?
I have got the same problem with my X10i. only I have got the problem with saved backgrounds and wallpapers.
I updated it to 2.3.3 and rooted it.
all my pictures, backgrounds etc have got the wrong thumbnails.
i also cleared my data and removed the thumbnails files.
didn't remove the wallpapers yet. I will first wait for a response
thanks in advance
My problem resolved itself after re-installing stock 2.1 and upgrading to 2.3.3
well my problem started after doing that this morning
edit:
installed wolfbreak v3.6 instead of stock. problem solved
I have never had any problems with gallery not showing the pictures that I have recently added, but today it's not working properly. When I add new pictures, I cannot see them in the gallery. I am still able to see the old pictures in the gallery and I am able to see the new pictures only IF I use "My Files." I have tried a factory reset, but the problem still exists. Does anyone have any suggestions on what the problem might be?
Before anyone asks, I am running the stock 3.1 HC.
strongly suggest this app.... SO much better than the stock gallery

Thanks for the suggestion, but I still want to solve the actual problem and get the pictures to show on the gallery.
Try deleting all the data from /sdcard/Android/com.android.sec.gallery3d
And open the gallery again to rebuild the image cache.
This may work.
I have just checked gallery again and the new pictures are showing up now. This is very odd.... What could have caused the pictures to show up after a certain amount of time instead of showing up right after I transferred them to my tablet? Does anyone have an idea? (Thanks for the suggestions so far!)
anybody else got this problem? when I take a new photo then go to the gallery the thumbnail is nothing like the picture and looks like a mega zoomed in blurred image of some sort, if I open it the correct image loads ok, any fixes? can I delete the thumbnail cache to force it to rebuild them and if so how?
Go to Settings, Applications, All Apps, search the app called media, and then clear it's data, foce cloase it and restart phone. All should be working then.
Thanks,
Rick

the best way is to install SD Maid from Play Store....it has an option to delete all thumbnails in gallery and much more....combine it with Recan Media Root (also from Play Store) to scan and rebuilt back your gallery....
did what was suggested above but it didnt work so I installed a different gallery (im using quickpic) and it worked fine so seems its a problem with quickpic
Hi,
Lately I've been having problems with my SGSIII.
Problem started while I was on CM10.2 stable.
At one point (after a few days), every time I tried to download a photo using any browser, the download would be unsuccessful (gets to 100% downloading, then error's out saying "Download unsuccessful.").
I tried multiple browsers but didn't help. Some of them said the SD card is inaccessible, but I have no external SD card (had it before, but removed it).
Also, I noticed that the photos I took wouldn't show up in the gallery (would not load thumbnails or show photos), and every new photo I would take would not appear listed.
So I thought that was a CM10.2 bug, and exchanged it with a stock based ROM (NeatROM 6.1), but the problems persisted, except now it shows old photos in the gallery, but every time I would take a new photo the Camera app would freeze.
Transferring files from a PC has no problems, and the Internal Storage shows 3.5 GB of free space.
I tried clearing the data of Gallery app, Browser, tried wiping cache/data/dalvik, fixing permissions over CWM, but nothing helped.
Any suggestion what could cause this problem and how could I fix it?
I checked the forums and googled the problem, but haven't found a solution.
Thanks!

Tried a couple of other things and it didn't work, so I had to resort to reflashing stock firmware. Reflash managed to fix the problem, but too bad I didn't manage to find the culprit of the problem
