So my gallery randomly chose to no longer display any photos from my storage. The only photos it shoes are the ones that sync from Google+.
I've tried all the typical wipe cache, data, etc but to no avail.
I also noticed that when I connect my phone to my pc via usb nothing shows up in the "internal storage" but if I use any file explorers (i.e. Root Explorer) on my phone everything shows up like normal.
Any ideas?
Seraching through internet about the same problem I've found solution:
Remove battery for 1 minute, and all photos will be back (at least in my case went back)....
I have no clue why is this happening, but I'll try to find out.

I'm experiencing the problem that after I download mp3's or photos by ftp or lan, that these are not registered in the music player or photos application. Also moving around my photo's doesn't update the photo albums.
I'm looking for a way to trigger the rescan of the SD card, similar to the process that happens after turning the phone on where you can see the photo app refreshing the images.
1) Is there a way to manually trigger this scan? A function somewhere, a widget or even a pointer to an android java call will do?
2) Is there a way to soft remount the SD card as in without pulling off the backcover as a workaround. I know you can unmount it in the phone storage settings, but can't see a way to remount it.
Also interested, but for the "Music" app. Copied in a load of MP3s last night, but they don't appear.
Get SDrescan from the Market
The gallary app on my S4 Mini is "misbehaving" when I open it, it takes a very long time to start responding and even when it does it is really slow. I have done a factory reset and cleared out all the photos and videos form my system. With only having 5 photos it is still almost unusable.
I have done a factory reset (Didn't make a difference) and also cleared cache and data
Also when looking at the app info my phone reports it is using 1.6GB of space (even when there is virtually no content on my phone) I always store my photos and videos on the external SD card.
I have seem other people reporting similar issue on other sites with no responses. Any advice?
I'm on CC4.2 right now and I've been usin it for months now, however today I rebooted my phone and suddenly all my internally stored photos aren't showing up (eg: gallery), only Sd Card media are shown. However I can still open my interal photos in their folders individually (DCIM, etc) I tried a media scan but no good. Earlier (yesterday) i tried the gallery app Lumiffic and it was enhancing some photos, but i stopped the process. Could it be the cause?
I can't get Google photos to back up any of my pics or videos. I have it set up appropriately (never had a problem on any other device including my op5) but on the option it just says "getting photos" but that's it.
It won't even back up my photos if in try to do it manually
The only issue I have with Google Photos, on any device, is how janky and terrible the pinch to zoom is. I doubt Google even tests any of their apps anymore.
That's why I'll never use it as the main Gallery or to show off Photos. It's embarrassing.
As far as backing up, that seems to be working ok for me. As long as it's Sync'd under Account Settings, it's usually fine.

Had the same issue when I changed to OP5T.
It would sit at "getting photos..." and not do a thing (even the network speed in status bar was 0 K/s).
I resolved it by cleaning the its data and cache in storage (Settings>Apps>Application List>Photos>Storage>Clear Data) and go through the setup process again.
Hope it resolves your issue also.

Hey thanks that worked. I originally tried disabling and enabling it (that used to clear all data) but apparently not anymore. Clearing data for the app worked perfectly. Thank you
Hi, i am facing very weird problem.
Recently 2 weeks back i reset my phone and then set it up and copied back my data to phone. But from Past few days i am facing weird issue.
Whenever i download any picture. It's thumbnail show correctly in gallery. But while uploading on whatsapo, facebook, insta or telegram or any other app, it shows wrong thumbnail. When i click on that, it changes to correct photo, but thumbnail still shows incorrect.
This happens to most of the apps.
I already deleted thumbnail cache but still the same.
Interesting thing is that, it is showing thumbnails of the deleted photos which i downloaded previously from facebook.
Please don't recommend to reset my phone again.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Try clearing the app cache for Gallery. If that doesn't work clear app data for Gallery (don't worry, it won't delete any photos or videos).
Settings - > Apps - > Samsung Gallery -> Storage
