Hey guys. So I'm having a weird problem with my camera/gallery. Whenever I take a picture or video, I'm unable to view it via gallery right away. What I mean is I would take a picture, but I would be unable to view the gallery through the camera app (the bottom right button when using camera). It's just the grey default picture icon for the button and when I press it nothing happens. Also if I were to try to find the picture by manually going to the gallery app, it would still not be there. The picture does save however. I find it by going through DCIM in a file explorer (ES File Explorer). Once I open the picture through ES and choose gallery to open it, I am then able to access the picture through the gallery app. Sorry if this sounds a bit confusing, it's just a weird problem. Any help would be much appreciated on how to fix this.
What I'm currently running right now is:
ARHD 11.1
ElementalX 1.04
S-Off
SuperCid
Current firmware
Also I'm not sure when this problem started happening because I've never really used camera until recently. So I wouldn't know if it's something I flashed recently or what.

Hello,
Some times, every photo and video material disappearing from my phone. Gallery shows nothing. But all photoes and videos are still on SD card. The main point, that I can't reach them. Some widgets, like gallery widget, can show me the pictures, but when I pres on the photo to zoom it - black screen appears and that is it. How can I solve this problem?
see if there is a nomedia file in your photos folder if there one then delete it and your photos will appear again
if it doesn't work then try another app to see the pictures just to know if the problem from the stock gallery app
I found strange that pictures in Gallery app are not displaying in desired order. I mean if in settings are checked "Sort by latest". then in preview pictures are not ordered in such way.
Do others have the same issue?
Of course, it is not a mission critical bug , but very annoying.
Are you using stock rom or custom rom?
I always noticed that it uses the latest image from within the folder to sort the gallery. In stock rom the camera album always shows first.
Hello all,
Not sure if this happens to you but, when I open my gallery only a few thumbnails are shown, the rest are blank. When I scroll down and up it then starts to display them one by one. So I have to keep scrolling until they all have refreshed.
This is really frustrating does anyone have a fix besides a third party app?
Thanks

Have you restarted recently? I notice the gallery app tends to check and then build/fix the thumbnail database after a restart.
The condition you describe only happens to me if I copy/move images using a 3rd party file utility like root explorer. The Samsung gallery app isn't smart enough to immediately recognize the change. A restart fixes this. So now I only move images using the gallery app, which works fine and avoids the situation.
This doesn't happen on my LG Optimus G.

I see thanks for your reply, restart helped but still an annoying issue.
My issue is that when I use the stock G3 file manager to find photos it shows some random thumbnail of the wrong photo.
For example if I have a photo of bird the file name is bird and it matches the photo, but the thumbnail view could be of a dog. Here is the interesting part when I tap on the file and open it; it is the photo it is supposed to be this causes a problem when trying to find photos by the thumbnail view. I like this program because it allows me to create shortcuts on my home pages with a thumbnail of the actual picture any help would be appreciated or suggestion of another app that will do the same I tried ES and quite a few others but none work the same as the stock LG file manager.
Whenever I take a new picture with the Camera, it shows on the bottom right hand corner immediately. However, when I then click on the photo, it brings me to the photo app and the new picture does not show. If I switch in photos to device folders, the new pictures show. I've tried setting the camera to store the pictures on both internal and external storage with no luck. If immediately after I take the picture, I open up QuickPic the new picture is there. I am running the latest viper rom, with latest firmware etc.
Anyone else experience this or have some thoughts?

yes and i believe the camera app is going to need an update to fix this. It has something to do with a recent update to google photos.
