Heya,
I'm long time quickpic user but wanted to try something different. So I download piktures and later impression. Both apps won't show my folders withing dcim separately so I moved them to root of SD card. Now both apps won't load these pictures. They showing as black box no matter what I do. Quickpic and file manager still showing them normally. Where's the problem?
Thnx

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

Hi all, I'm having a problem with the gallery. I use the stock gallery and JustPictures. I put a bunch of photos on the phone in the correct location on the sd card. However, only new pictures taken with the phone display in either gallery. I can browse the directory and see both new and copied photos so I know all the pictures are in the right place.
Have tried rebooting as well as clearing the app data for both apps.
Help!

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.
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.

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.
