[Q] pics never shows up in gallery, why?

Took some new screens with Shootme but the new pics never shows up in the gallery. I can find the folder but only old screens. What to do?

Try view using disk drive or reboot phone.

Worked on me. Power off phone then turn it on again.

Ok, so you reboot your phone every time you take new photos? No solution for me!

If im using camera to take photo not a problem with me. It automatically added the picture to my gallery. But when im taking new screen shoot using shoot me apps i need to reboot and the picture will be at my gallery after that.

I had this problem with the "screenshot" application and it was resolved by removing the screenshot folder off the SD card, reloading the SD card, opening the Gallery app to let it scan and then placing the folder back on the SD card. Restarting the phone and opening the Gallery app rescanned the SD card and fetched the images there fine ever since.

Do you mean you can't reach them thru the stock gallery, or your file manager, video player, or all of the above?
Have you tried the app Rescan media, I believe it's called...?

I mean nothing that is SD card related can be found, used,played etc.. I truly believe my sd card died on me.. if so what do I do?? Get another sd card and be fine or??? Bcuz I am thinking of replacing this g2 with another but since my sd card seems shot does that mean I can't or re-root because I don't have the contents that came with the root??
Ps. I have backup roms but don't know how to put it on the what seems to 'dead' sd card. =Ditamae;19386527]Do you mean you can't reach them thru the stock gallery, or your file manager, video player, or all of the above?

Have you tried putting your card in an sdcard reader on your computer to rule out it being your ROM/device?
If your card is dead, then just buy a new one; you won't have your data but you'll still be able to root your new device if you chose to buy a new one.

I have this same problem. Data off my SD Card will get randomly deleted. At first I thought it was because I used a particular app or when I sent a file as an attachment.
I've tried multiple SD Cards with the same results.

[SOLVED] SDCard items (Audio, pictures) not showing in respective apps

***ADDED***
I just noticed, my audio files aren't showing up in the music app either :S
Plus, I'm not the only one with this issue.

***Original Post***
Hey,
So this happened day before yesterday, on CM9 beta 5, my photos didn't show up in my gallery, I booted into recovery, mounted and unmounted my sdcard, cleared cache and stuff, to no avail. Today, I installed HTC One maXimus 3.0 with a full wipe, but didn't fix anything. However, what I've noticed is, if a picture is placed in the root of a folder in the sdcard, it shows up, but only if I cut and paste photos there, the ones already in the folder didn't show up either.
What I mean is:
I have a folder, /sdcard/DCIM.
The pictures that were in that directory didn't show up either. But, when I moved pictures from sdcard/DCIM/100Media to sdcard/DCIM, they showed up in the gallery.
I have another folder, /sdcard/pictures.
It has two folders inside it, 'Screenshots,' and 'Instagram.' Those photos weren't showing up either. But, when I moved them into /sdcard/Pictures, they showed up.
The biggest problem, even the pictures I take on the camera, don't show up in the gallery.
The only thing I believe is left is for me to make a backup of my sdcard, then format the sdcard, put everything back, and create new folders for the pictures and place em there.
If you have any suggestions other than that, please post it here. Id really appreciate it and will remember to hit the thanks button too!

Check to see if there is a .nomedia file in your root directory. If there is, delete it and rescan.

I deleted the file, and rebooted, problem is all there. How do I rescan?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Check that the file has not reappeared. I think this is a bug from ROM Manager which has just been fixed in the latest version. So may need to update ROM Manager too.
The .nomedia file tells the photo gallery and music player that there is no media there and to ignore any it sees. If it is in the root directory then it will not see any media files in any directory

It isn't there, and I don't have Rom manager :S

I even deleted .showme, no luck :/

You may just have to wait a while and it will update the gallery/music automatically. Sorry I can't be more help, but if you did have that .nomedia file, it would have stopped your apps seeing the files

Also try deleting the app data

See my post "reset the mediadatabase". ICS stores every medialink in a database, so that no other app has to search mediafiles (vids, pictures and music) in the storage everytime. If this database is corrupted, ICS will not find any new data by this moment. The way I described in my post fixed the problem.

install this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.droida.nomedia&hl=en
find the folder where the videos are stored, make it red (if its currently white) then make white again.
reboot.
IF after a reboot, they still aren't showing, go into settings>apps>gallery and clear data. (then reboot again)
if that doesn't work, try a normal file explorer (make sure the settings within this explorer are set to view system files) and browse to the folder. look for a file called .nomedia and delete it.
then reboot again, might need to clear data for gallery app again. (and another final reboot)
sometimes straight after the reboot nothing at all will show, it can take a little while, so get on with everything else, go back to gallery in 10 mins and it should have re populated all your albums

Thank you for your help,but dont work for me.I think it's an issue of format.video from whatsapp have .MOV ending.I renamed them into .mp4 an then videos shown.

Damn dude, sorry, but I stayed away from AOSP for several reasons, and the mixed up mount points drove me crazy. I dont think I ever got it workng 100%. Didnt really try maybe, I missed TW.

Thanks! At least I got some feed back. I ended up fixing it. But it took all day. I had to Odin back to stock, re root. Then format the phones SD card and the external SD card. Now she works beautifully!
