Hey guys I have a very annoying issue. My gallery app doesnt show up my pictures in my sd card. I moved pictures by file explorer of its own, and they all are gone from gallery app. Although it doensnt show the pics that are moved , it shows the pictures freshly taken into external sd card . But it doesnt show the pics I moved into it. The other fact is that when I unmount the sd card and mount it again, even the freshly taken pictures dissappear.!! but after that I shoot some more and they show up but old pics never shows up. My sd card is new and I have no other issue apart from this ( its class 10 , 32 gb ,kingston micro sd card.! please helppp !! (

Can you still find the pictures in the file explorer ? What folder did you move them to ?
Try downloading quikpic gallery and see if it finds them
They all exist in external sd cad and I can easily find em all just going through file explorer. I can find an open them there. They all in the folder that camera app creates. But gallery doesnt show them

What folder do you have them saved in ? If you have a DCIM folder on the ext card it will find them if they are put in there
They all in dcim buddy but yeah I tried what you told me and downloaded quickpic gallery and it showed my pics up as long as I put a tick on ''show hidden files'' . But I have no clue why would they be hidden. They all appears when im lookin around file explorer. Lets think about it

Seems odd to me. For some reason it thinks they should be hidden. Normally the media scanner would pick them up. Are the formatted differently ?
I dont know which format it is but recently after having had this problem , i formatted it in storage menu of settings. And I put the files back on it but no sign of pictures in gaplery.but yeah thanks for quick pic app! At least it shows them all! But i need to find a way to get my gallery to work properly again
Have you cleared the data/cache for the gallery?

Yes , i did ot at my first try .but the same . I think my gallery app is kinda broken down for some reason.it seems to be working very well but, it has problem with external card. Maybe i should replace it but donno where to find it. I found some but they all are modified , not the original ones
Got to be a card issue. Move pics to internal or hard drive and format the card and see if it helps.

Hey guys Ive come up with news. I flashed succesfully synergy rom into my phone. And gallery had no problem showing pictures on my external sd card. After then I restore all the apps and datas through titanium backup that i used to backup all apps and datas from previous system . AND guess what ? Gallery has started not to show up the pictures in external again. I think an app is causing this but i dont know how to find out

My general rule of thumb is only use titanium to restore apps sparingly. I just keep an ext SD card with apks of the apps I want to install that aren't on market and use the playstore for all other. Flash synergy again and then do an app and check gallery, rinse and repeat. Might be tedious but worth it.
I used to have 2.3.6 GB stock ROM and flashed THIS JB 4.3 ROM Everything works fine but my Gallery app doesn't want to show my old pics at all... When I shoot new photos they are fine.. But my phone recognizes my OLD photos as VIDEO FILES and when I try to open them it asks me what app to use to open them showing video apps. This thread looks like the closest one to my problem. I hope someone can find a solution to this other than using another gallery apk.
(I can see and open my old photos using file explorer)

Thanks for any effort..
Try out fish bowl gallery app and unlock all pics . They ll show up in gallery after this

hey guys
I had a bunch of pics that I received via MMS and I needed to use, so I just long click on it and selected to save do sd card. But when I connect the phone to the pc on mass storage mode, I can't find them anywhere.
So I installed the app SaveMMS and saved all the pics to a folder with the same name. Still nothing showed up when I connect the phone to my PC.
Using ASTRO, I can see all the pictures on the download folder and I can also access the SaveMMS folder (and actually some other folders that I cant see from my PC).
I tried to copy to somewhere else and even that didnt work.
I ended up emailing myself the pics...
Any idea on whats happening?
I got root and im using opendesire with a partitioned sd card (and no, there's no pictures on the ext partition).
many thanks
Does any file names or folders on your phone look like, for example, this ".hello"
If so, get rid of the full stop at the start of the name via Astro, as it will not show up on your computer
Thread moved to Q&A.
delete my post
thanks for the reply
the first thing I checked was for hidden folders, and it wasnt that.
the folders ended up showing up on the desktop as well, out of nowhere.
but it just seemed some random, dont know what was the issue.
This is usually because you are using a2sd which makes the SD card do strange things. Changes are only actually saved to the card for the computer to see when restarting the phone
The problem is well documented, and a fix have been made which should fix it
Well, its really weird.
But better weird with A2SD than normal without it ;p
Posted this problem in LeeDroid's thread yesterday(bored to write it again from scratch,so I just did a quick copy-and-paste ).
Guys I have a strange issue.
This afternoon,without having noticed,my battery died.So I tried to turn the screen on and it booted up,telling me about low battery.Then,I plugged it in as soon as I found the charger and it turned off the moment I plugged it in.Then,I turned it on after about half an hour and all seemed ok.At some point I went to the Gallery app(HTC's one),clicked on Camera Shots(or whatever it calls the photos I have taken)and saw that there were no thumbnails,it won't display some pictures even when I select them and a photo was corrupted!I huried and copied the photos to my pc and rechecked.No thumbnails except for one photo and any new I may take with the camera.Tried deleting gallery's cache and data and it didn't help.Any ideas?Don't wanna reflash for such a thing.
Also,can it be related to the problem with 1.72 roms corrupting cards?It's like the third or fourth time data gets corrupted in my card!And it's a ****in' expensive one!
Thanks guys!

I remember a while back when i was a Hero user running HTC stock ROM my 8 GB card crashed just like that. So, it is not a problem with custom ROMs...do not know what it could be but would be nice knowing it!

Yeah,it isn't a rom issue.Different people were using different roms when it happened.Unless it's HTC related!
Well,maybe a low level format is needed as someone(whose name is unfortunately escaping me right now)suggested in LeeDroid's thread.But copying 15Gb of data can be a pain!
Well,strange thing is that Gallery(both HTC and stock android one)can't show some pictures(it displays black instead of the image,even for some that there are thumbnails)while the same file,when I open it on my pc,is all ok!Strange...

HTC Desire Z Pictures keep dissapering from Gallery
Hai,
Having the same problem with my HTC Desire Z. New pictures seem to disappear in the Galley. Good news, they aren't deleted, they're still on the SD. Connect to your computer and you can see/back up them.
I've installed a file explorer (ASTRO in my case). That made the pictures turn up in the gallery again. I guess the file explorer indexes the SD again?
For now... the pictures are back in my Gallery. It seams to be a bug in Gallery.
Hope they come with a fix soon.
Good luck,
Dee

Thanks, my friend, i had the same problem and your answer is the best, Now I can see all my photos in my SE WT19i.
Thanks again
I've never had this happen to me, but I have had an sd card fail on me ( an expensive patriot one). I would immediately backup your card and keep it backed up as if it's a warning sign that the card is on its way out you don't want to lose all your data.

I had this same issue a while ago, and re-flashing the rom I was using seemed to fix the problem (of course, this could be because I formatted my dalvik, as another user mentioned above!)
Have you tried to transfer the photos to your computer from your sd card to make sure that they're still good files?
As for the dalvik, boot into recovery and you'll be able to wipe it from there.
Anyone have issues with photovault? It crashed while converting a folder to private and now my whole gallery is gone ALL folders. I tried removing reinstalling, clearing data etc but no matter what the app just FC's and I dont know how to restore my gallery to normal
Can you mount your SD card and see the pics still physically on the SD card?
yes/no Yes I can see all of the other files. Originally i couldnt find the files I I had hidden and later I relalized they must have been in /data/photovault folder on my sdcard but I deleted that trying to get it to reset.... so I was able to recover those files but my gallery is still %100 blank
Vaulty free is a much better app.

I rooted my evo and its been working fine, but I now have a problemo..
The SD card is mounted because I can see everything through astro, I can connect it to the computer and browse the sd card and see pix and music
The music player says "No music found" and the gallery wont display my photos.
Any suggestions? I dont want to format the sd card if possible. More info by request.
Thanks
Also when I take pictures theyll stay for a while, I dont know exactly when they disapear, but maybe when the phone is rebooted. They do although get saved to the sd card in the proper 100MEDIA folder
Would you happen to be on the sense 2.1 ports? That happens to me when I'm on them.
what do you mean by the port? I am using 2.1 tho. its been working fine for about 4 months
Take SD card out..copy contents, format SD card, copy contents back, insert SD card back..your problem should be fixed..if not, get a better SD card.

If you don't want to format it, try unmounting & remounting the SD card. You can also try manually running the media scanner. There are multiple toggle widgets that do this - Widgetsoid is my personal preference, but there are others. The dev tools app on CM7 also has an option to run the media scanner.
I think this is a rom issue & not an sd card issue. Backup your current rom, then restore from a backup of a different rom or try a clean install of a new one. If you choose to do a fresh flash, I suggest going with the stock rooted rom. If you still have the problem, then copy all of the files to your computer, format the card, then copy what you need back to the SD.
If it works fine on a different rom, you know the problem is rom related. You can try a completely clean install of whatever rom you're running right now, but it may just be a bug pertaining to the rom.
What rom are you on at the moment? Just curious...
honestly I cant remember. how to I find out?

Umm, okay. Go to settings, then about phone down at the bottom. If you don't know which piece of info is the rom - you should recognize the name - just post everything in that menu.

You want to make sure that you don't have a ".nomedia" file in with your pictures or music. Certain apps can automatically create a .nomedia file and place it in with your music files or pictures, etc. When a .nomedia file is present, that folder won't get scanned for media of any kind, therefore your stuff wont show up. I'm not saying that's definitely your problem, by any means. However, simply suggesting that you check your folders, to make sure that the .nomedia file isn't there. I forget which apps can create that file, but I know it can happen.

It may be named Rom Version, Mod Version, build number... I've seen multiple different wordings for it. Mine says "Build Number", but I'm on MIUI. It isn't baseband, kernel, model version, or Android version. It won't be only numbers, and it isn't PC36100.
Let me ask you this... have you flashed any roms through recovery or Rom Manager? If not, you're on stock.
3.70.651.1 cl294884 release-keys is build number
I just tried to install fresh evo 3.5 rom and when it rebooted it stuck at the white "htc evo 4g" screen

Perfect - thanks!
Mine is doing something weird as well. Sorry if I don't' explain this correctly.
When the update went through my phone stopped seeing all media on the SD card. I have my camera set to store pics on the SD card. When I open up the gallery, it doesn't see the pictures I took before the update. Any new pictures I take are saved to the SD card still and I'm able to see them in the gallery. It's weird because they're being saved to the same DCIM folder as old pictures (if I only took one picture since the update, it will say I only have 1 pic in that folder). The only way I'm able to see the old pics is to move the entire DCIM folder to the main storage. I tried using Quikpic and even chose the folder that all pics are stored in and it still can't see them.
MX Player can't see any movies i have on the SD card.
Music get's a little weird. Using Google Music and Player Pro, I can't listen to music on the SD card. If I use Poweramp, it has no problem at all seeing the music there.
When I open the Files app, I can see everything on the SD card, if I select a picture, it'll ask me if I want to open it in the gallery, movies ask me if I want to use MX Player. I can open them on my own, but apps won't find them.
Why don't y'all try using this.https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.szalkowski.activitylauncher
