Hi, wondering if anyone can help. I moved over to an S20. Before doing so, I copied all my whatsapp media/any pics saved on my internal SD off my old s9 onto my pc, and then transferred them back to the new phone. So far all good. All my pics are there. The problem is, when I open the gallery, it takes an age to load them. The same thing when I navigate to the folder in file manager. ok there's over 30k pics, but it shouldn't be an issue if it works fine on the old phone.
I also noticed that the ".thumbnails" folder isn't being created within DCIM, or anywhere for that matter. Not sure if it's linked or not. Anyways, the phone internal storage is a lot quicker than my old s9, so it can't be a speed issue. Any ideas what I can do? Media storage only shows as using 100mb. I was going to try clear the data for Media Storage, but on Android 11 it seems to be greyed out. I tried adb shell pm clear com.android.providers.media but that doesn't do anything
Anything I can try or any recommedations?
Sympathy bump
Scope storage? It's so secure... yeah whatever.
I also noticed weirdly that if I take the ad card out, it loads a crap load quicker.

I just recently started having a problem where the CMyPhotos panel in CHome no linger shows photos... it just says "No Photos". I have photos in the /Storage Card/Pictures directory and My Documents/My Photos directory on my phone itself. it still doesnt show photos at all though... I can manually look at the photos, but i dont get the thumbnail view on the homescreen.
Anyone else had this issue before?
P.S. and yes.... i have rebooted my device. and i've tried it with and without my storage card. and yes, i know a hard reset will most like resolve this issue, but i'm looking for a fix without the hard reset.
I had the same problem and it went on and on, so I just got fed up with it and did a hard reset on it. I think that will probably be your best bet man.
This is worth a try, create on storage card root "Pictures" and place some pics in there, just notice your dir is named differently.
Might not work but worth a shot.
Try changing showing and hiding Chrome Configurator CMYPhotos a few times and soft reset. Just a suggestion never happened to me.

I tried that when it happened to me and no resolution so I ended up hard resetting... It just happened for me out of no where and I am not sure what caused it to happen...
Thanks, 4 your suggestions guys. I already had the "pictures" directory in the root of my storage card...i did hide and then show the CMyPhotos several times as well. I even tried putting pics on my phones root "my documents/my pictures" directory as well but it still doesnt show anything.
Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Pictures "folder" in the root of your storage card is the best solution.
i guess people don't read what i've already done.......
well here's the fix for it ( in case anyone else has this issue in the future)
you have to re-format your sd card. I tried re-formatting it with resco explorer, but it would not let me. so i had to use the WM5Storage option to let the PC recognize it as a removable disk (sorry, i don't have an sd card reader on my PC). I then copy/pasted all my files to my PC. formatted it (fat16) and then copied all the files back over to it. Now my pictures folder is recognized by the CMyPhotos and i can see all of the pictures on my phone and storage card.

Dang I wish I would have done that before I performed a hard reset on my phone... Uhhhh that sucks...
Nice advice!
I have been throwing apks between my computer and phones for years now. I noticed when i was pasting data inside titanium backup some showed up on the phone and some did not.
also when browsing sd card in root browser I can see folders that i can not see when browsing from my windows 7 machine. Not system folders but folders like tunny browser etc folders that I know I should be able to view its weird. Anyone else exp anything like this? Thanks PR
Everytime i disconnect the usb from my Samsung Epic 4G touch or restart it for some weird reason the pictures i screen captured or downloaded disappear from my gallery but all the old saved pictures i saved on my SD card stayed there. I went to "my files" and checked if all my pictures were still there that i saved internally and they're still there. It's very weird it started happening this morning. Has anyone had this issue ? I want to see all my pictures i saved in my gallery rather than going to the folder its self. Please help! :crying:
Could be the modem ?
I ran into the same problem recently. I can't take credit for the fix (http://forums.androidcentral.com/ht...ind-my-sd-card-music-photos-videos-2.html#anb) but the solution is easy. Attach your phone to the computer, open the internal SD card and delete the file called ".nomedia". Works like a charm. Let me know if this works.
I just got a Galaxy S3 Tmobile, and I used Kies to restore data, photos etc, from my S2, but the only photo folders shown are the new ones created by the phone( new taken by the camera, my new photo messages, etc), but, using Quickpic I can see all the photo folders that I restored, I tried resetting the phone, deleting the Gallery's cache data, forcing stop and restarting the phone, manually transfering the photos, and still, nothing is shown in Gallery, but, just the new folders. Somebody has a clue why this is happening?

Check a file manager app. It's probably downloaded to a different SD card directory the gallery isn't scanning for.
I think it's sdcard/emulated/0 or something like that. New android versions changed sdcard directories to handle the ability to have multiple users on the phone.
When you find them use the file manager to move them over or connect the phone to USB so it's easier to see all the directories on the screen.

Sounds good, thanks for the advice, funny part of this is that the new pictures and the old ones are together in the DCIM folder, but, gallery only shows the new photos from that folder, is like something is telling to just show the phone own photos and messages.
After is usb plugged, there are 2 folders: Card and Phone, Phone shows DCIM, Picture folders in it, so I don't really see any other directories. I hope you guys understand what I am trying to explain.
Hi people.
I recently bought a 64gb MSD card from eBay, and I had set the photos to be storaged at the external storage. Besides that I'm running Android 6.01
The problem is, last night I attended a wedding where I shot some pictures, and during last night I could see in the gallery that when I started taking the pictures, the pictures in the gallery was in the beginning there, however, soon after the gallery would say the pictures format was unrecognizable (WTF?), and the pictures would go missing from the phone. I've tried using the storage handling, which is provided by android. And I'm not able to see the picture. I've tried downloading ASTRO, and get it to show the hidden files. No luck either. I've tried erasing the .nomedia file from the MSD, still nothing.
I've tried here, the morning after to take a new photo, and I can see it's supposed to be saved at storage/emulated/o/DCIM/100media, So I've gone there by the USB port on my desktop, and I still can't see the pictures. I've been through every bloody folder on the storage without any result (And yes, I've tried installing the HTC app for desktops )
If you people have any idea how to get a hold of the pictures (If they are still there?), it would greatly appreciated!
