Gallery is Acting Up? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Recently loaded some wallpapers into my internal storage.
Some of them don't appear-- they show up as black boxes.
I've tried going into Apps and Clearing Cache/Clearing Data for the Gallery app.
But to no avail.

Everyone uses QuickPic, and this is one reason why.

This happened to me too, it ended up corrupting my other images and videos

Just installed QuickPic, same problem.

ES shows me thumbnails of the pictures, but doesn't allow me to open them.
This is a very interesting problem.

No problems here.
What rom are you using?
Try clearing data for Media Storage then reboot.

I'm using the latest CM10 nightly.
I cleared the data then rebooted and couldn't even get my Gallery to open.
Had to Nandroid backup to get everything running again.

JB gallery not showing pics taken before flashing

The gallery only shows pics taken while on this rom (fnv) already. I had a couple other jb roms which did the same thing, AND pics taken while on those other jb roms also don't show in gallery.
I read something yesterday about pics now being stored in storage/sdcard0 instead of /sdcard. But I looked in sdcard0 and the new pics are there, but so are the old pics, which still aren't showing in the gallery! Anyone know what the deal is?

Download SDRescan from play store, run app, reboot. Then they should show.

How long should the scan take? After about 8 minutes I stopped it and rebooted and it didn't work. Tried several times.

Well I have about 4.5g used on my SD card, and it takes roughly 10 mins.
Also have you tried wiping cache & data for the gallery & re-booting?

Stock gallery app is really bad. Use QuickPic instead.

Many of us on Jellybean are having this problem.. Here is my thread about it.. I can't believe there isn't a solution yet.. If I flash back onto my old ICS nandroid, I can view all the photos; however whenever I flash a jellybean rom, they are gone.

but i like the swiping gestures in the jb gallery. oh well im sure a fix will come eventually.
I had to use stock gallery.
I've used Quickpic for years but when I jumped to JB, it didn't see half my pics all of a sudden so I'm back on stock for now. Works for me.

try formating sd card via Recovery(backup first),then put them back ,see what happen , then ,press the thank button~
have same problem here
the stock gallery app dont' show some of my old picture suddenly, even I try backup the pictures to desktop PC and copy them back to Nexus, it's useless. But on other Gallery app eg: QuickPic is working fine, all picture can show correctly
This has only happened to me on XenonHD. Because of that, I went back to BAMF

My issue with gallery is that it seems to ignore .nomedia files and still show directories that contain them.
But if I disable gallery now I lose camera.

Pictures not showing up in Gallery

My photos are on my SD card but showing up in my gallery. This happen yesterday after I swapped out my battery for a new one. Also I can't my downloaded photos too. Its like all the albums in the gallery disappeared. Also phone has done some random reboots. I'm running vicious 8/8 cm10. Didn't know if this has happened to anyone else and know of a fix.

The problem is ROM Manager. Try uninstalling the updates for ROM Manager and clearing the data in media. Then reboot and wait 30 minutes.
If you can delete ROM Manager all together that's even better.

The problem is also with .nomedia file.
OP: What you need to do is update the ROM manager to the latest version, use file manager (any is fine) to go to sdcard root directory and then delete .nomedia file. After that, clear Media Storage data. Reboot. Sometimes, it takes up to 30 minutes for gallery to read all the pictures, but for me, it was done in like 5 minutes.

Do you know when will the issue with Rom manager will be resolved ?
EDIT: Checked the change log on ROM manager. Looks like its been addressed. I uninstalled then reinstalled and so far all is well.

It's already been resolved. You need to update ROM manager and delete the .nomedia file from the root of your SD card. Clear data from media storage and reboot. They'll come back but it could take an hour or two.

Problem with gallery on mildwild 8

When I open the gallery I can't see any pics until I click on the pic, it was fine I'm not sure what happened I even just did a clean install and still the same, any ideas, cheers

Maybe the pics' thumbnails got corrupted. I think they are generated and stored somewhere, but don't know where.
Try cleaning your sd-card of useless cache and stuff.

Try to unmount/mount sd card.
If there is no result try to fix partitions from 4ext recovery.
Try any third party apps like quickpic and see if it fixes for you. I never use stock gallery because quickpic is super fast and easy to use.

Storage question

Hey guys so when in my storage options it does not adequately reflect my storage availability I'm wondering if this is normal. This only represents about 4-5 gigs being used but only 700mb available. Is this normal? I honestly don't have that much on my internal but it is running low faster than it should be. Just wanted to know if this is normal.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
I would venture to say that's not normal... Try an app called "Disk Usage" and see what exactly is taking up the space.

Now what exactly could cause the system data to soar to 7GB? Have you tried exploring around the directories to see exactly what files or directories are abnormally large?
Op-is your device rooted
Backups may be the issue then.

Thanks for all the responses I just got a chance to look at this I'll take a look at that app and see what I get. What kinda backups are we talking? Because I haven't intentionally backed anything up. And I am rooted yes
Edit: currently running wicked v4 but have had a few before that with same circumstances. I always factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache.

I've looked through everything, and using the disk space app, showed about 5.7 gigs to system. Went through system couldn't find specifics as the culprit or what I could remove to make space. Is there any type of reset that'd clean it up, like a Odin flash? I'm usually better with these things but this is just odd and outta character for me.

I think I found the problem I was wondering wtf was going on... Everything has been different folder setup in cwm than before when I go to flash from SD card I get 0, legacy, and one other folder. Well... I found a folder in my system called emulated... It's basically two extra copies of my entire internal system. Anyone know where this came from? And how to prevent it from reoccurring? It shows updated today. Please correct me if this is not the issue... Gonna try deleting it will post after
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
Well... That only deleted everything on my internal SD... Wtf so strange. My internal SDcard showed like 2.7 gigs taken up the 'emulated: legacy and 0' folders were exactly 2.7 gigs each... Leading to the theory these were copies of the internal SD but when deleted they took the internal with them, now it shows I have 3.3 gigs avail and one being used... Outta 9+ gigs... Wtf ha

WhatsApp Issue

I've been getting this weird error on WhatsApp while sending pictures. "Failed. Out of memory. Try again" or something like that. I've tried almost everything.Uninstalled. Re-installed WhatsApp. Cleared files from WhatsApp folder. And I do have plenty of space on my device. The only way to send pictures now is to share it from the gallery app. I never got this error before. I'm in stock ROM btw.

make backup of whatsapp in chat settings, then delete whatsapp...install whatsapp+ and restore using backup when prompted...this has larger attachment limit.
or in account settings > network usage, reset

I've done a factory reset, tried clearing the cache of WhatsApp. Also I don't have any pictures in my WhatsApp's folder. I can only share the pictures via gallery or Just force close WhatsApp then send it. But this is only a temporary solution.
