Hi!
For first - sorry for my english
My steps to restore backup:
1. Full wipe, clear cache/dalvik itd
2. Restore backup.
SGS3 wake up All it's ok (apps/settings etc) but when in try open gallery (images from camera) images dissapear.
In first moment, when I open Gallery I have "old" list (from backup) of images, but I can't open this.
I try copy images by USB, but folder "DCIM" is empty. Folder is on the internal memory, on the ex-SD i have "clockworkmod" and "LOST.DIR" folders.
I think that images from camera are saveing in internal memory, so why I can't restore them?
Thanks for help!
You might have some images cached in the Gallery app, and that might be why you see them on the app, but cant open them.
If you want them gone, go to Settings/Application manager/All tab. Select Gallery and click Clear Data button. This will clear the cache of the app.
If you had photos on the SD card, they should be there on the DCIM folder. Be sure to check external card.
I had photos on internal memory (DCIM folder), I'm sure of that. I did backup and now, when I want restore this backup I can't open my photos
After restore folder DCIM is empty. On the phone, when I open Gallery, I have list of restored photos but this list dissapear in some of seconds.

Hello guys,
Is there a way to create folders in my gallery to organize all the pics that I have?
I have tried to create using ASTRO folders in DCIM \ Camera and and I have added some photos but when I open Gallery from my phone I can only see Camera Shots and All photos. I tried to move the folders in DCIM direcly same result.
Is there a way to do this?
And also in DCIM I see all new videos and phots are stored in 100MEDIA but I have a Camera folder, what is this Camera folder used for?
Thanks
You need to remount your SD card for your phone to see the new folders (or reboot). Try SD Mount or Reload SD from the market. Everytime you add new photos or new folders, remount your card, and your gallery should show the photos and folders. Personally, I create folders inside the media/pictures folder on my SD card, which works fine for me. Hope this helps

Good work! You inadvertantly answered another query I had regarding moving pictures into the pictures folder!
Does anyone know the location of the wallpapers folder?
Thanks!!
Anytime I create a new folder and put images in it on my external sd card it shows doubles in the gallery.
There's mnt/extSdCard and storage/extSdCard
I know I can use quickpic but I don't want to, I'd rather use the stock gallery. Is there any way to fix this?
I think it might be caused by transferring photos from dropbox, it doesn't seem to do it if I USB transfer them. Dropbox doesn't give an option to select the path it shows internal or sdcard.
For some reason, when saving an MMS attachment it will not show up in the Gallery. It saves to the internal storage as normal, but for whatever reason the Gallery isn't picking up the folder and displaying the image that was just saved. I didn't see a way to refresh the Gallery or direct it pick up that folder. When saving the image it doesn't give you an option to select the folder you want, it just autosaves to the internal "Downloads" folder. I tried clearing the cache on the Gallery, reinserting the SD card to see if it would read and refresh but still no luck. Any ideas?

I haven't had this issue, but I've seen other mention a media scanner tool on the play store..

can this directory be deleted to save space or will this wipe the actual photos from the gallery?
thanks

It can be deleted (the contents of this folder, not the folder itself) but thumbnails would be re-created. It might still be good to delete it from time to time since it might contain "orphaned" thumbs....

Hey guys, I recently transferred my photos from phone storage to sd card now it is not showing in my gallery. I am pretty certain I found the answer somewhere on here before but I can't find it anymore.
1. The pictures are there in my sd card I can view it in my a file explorer, but it does not show in "gallery"
2. I tried clearing data for gallery and media. I also tried force closing them, still a no go.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
You can always go to your DCIM (or DCMI i really forget) -> media ->whatevs folder you got and put your photos there. Some of my photos don't appear in the stock htc gallery either. Must be directory thing. I just use google photos but DCIM is the main directory so it should work.

Yeah I've done that before, but I remember the was a really simple solution. I think I came across it in one of the rom threads a few months ago, but can't remember.
Aside from restarting the phone there's always this.

Clear the cache with an app like sdmaid.. It is probably retaining old links etc
I wish I stole my HTC M9.
Is there a ".nomedia" file hidden in the folder that contains your pictures? If yes your problems should be solved if you delete it.
