it sees new pics taken but nothing else. old photos are visible in other apps, file explorers etc see these fine. they open manually in the gallery if i choose to open one via file explorer.
wth?
Same here. Old photos (from a backup of stock 4.1.2) are not shown in the Gallery app. Newly taken photos are visible. File manager shows all files correctly in /sdcard/DCIM/Camera. The Settings menu of the Gallery app is a completely empty window.
I tried deleting the data of the Gallery app using Titanium Backup, but it didn't change anything.
Any ideas?

Most likely a n00b problem here, but when I try to select my custom icons from Launcher pro, my icons don't show up in the Gallery. They're saved correctly as png, but for some reason they don't show up anywhere in the gallery. I tried clearing the defaults in Settings/Applications so I can try to select my icon from one of my file explorers but I wasn't able to. I even tried uninstalling Gallery, but then I got a message to the effect of "There are no photos on your phone."
Am I supposed to be selecting the icons in different way?
Got it working: I reinstalled the Gallery app and now it sees my .png files. Idk if it was the reinstallation or maybe it was that it didn't rescan the SD card after I downloaded and extracted my icon pack.
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?

Recently I tried to hide unnecessary images from gallery by putting a .nomedia file in that folder. After that I realise I have put the file in the wrongly in my SD card root folder causes some of my picture won't be displayed in the gallery. And then I deleted the file but it still not showing up in the gallery. Any idea how I could solve this???
*QuickPic and ES File Explorer can open and view the pictures just fine, but the stock Gallery app cannot. I really need the stock Gallery app to work because I need to choose my own lockscreen wallpaper.
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.
Hi,
I have enabled dual WhatsApp on my device but recently the second whatsapp image can't be seen in gallery (the whole folder is missing) however the image can still be seen in the chat.
-Tried connecting to a pc and looking for the images in explorer shows that all the images have a file size of 0KB and can't be open.
-the setting (view downloaded image in gallery is turned on
-reinstall both whatsapp and restoring does not changes anything, images still can't be seen in gallery
any idea how to fix this ?

Did you turn on the media visibility in settings.
in whatsapp >>>settings>>>chats>>>media Visibility On
if it doesnt work delete the
.nomedia File - use your file manager to find this

Yes i did turn on the setting.
Tried deleting the file you mention and no difference.
My girlfriend note 20 ultra is also having the same issue.
edit: I just did a reinstall of the second whatsapp. I can now see the folder in gallery but when looking inside file manager, there is no folder for whatsapp images.
Looking wired to me....
Try this...
If you are using Google photos as your default gallery app, then there are chances that your WhatsApp images will show in your Google Photos app if you used the ‘delete local copy’ or the ‘free up device storage.’ Therefore, check Google photos to view your WhatsApp images.
Else clear Cache & data from WhatsApp from the list of applications in Manage Apps
it will surely help you
