When I save my photos on the SdCard of my phone (S20+ 5G) or when I copy photos to my SdCard and I open the photos they are visible. When I open them later on they are just white. Nothing on the photo anymore. I want to store the photos on my SdCard to save room on my phone.
What am I doig wrong?

Does anyone know how or is there an app that saves your photos directly to the storage card instead of the phone itself? I used to have it set up this way but I forgot where I got it or how I did it. Thanks
its under the camera settings menu in the camera app...
So i have had my sprint galaxy s3 for about 6 months and finally took my 16gb sandisk sd out of my old evo 4g(which has been actively used by my little brother). I put it in my s3 and then formatted the sd card. after the format was done, i moved all of my 175+ photos from the internal memory to the sd card from the phone. it took about 15 minutes. for some reason when I try to view them a a couple minutes later, some of images are black in my photo gallery and my phone is 'unable to open the file.' i slipped the sd card into my usb sd card reader. the message i get when i try to open those photos are 'Photo gallery is unable to open the photo or video. The file may be unsupported, damaged or corrupted.'
now ive tried a couple of 'data recovery' programs to no avail. is there any way that i can get those photos back? freeware would be ideal but if i have to pay, so be it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
[Q] Note 4 Gallery Failure to update
So, how often does the gallery ap, or whatever cache it uses updating for new files?
I download a picture, and it refuses to show up until after I restart the phone.
Ideas?
So. Anyone? Repro:
Download image from external source. Web or Dropbox.
go to gallery app. Notice download gallery is not updated.
have to restart to get it to show up.
Can anyone even repro this? Hello?
SD card speeds?
Hello,
I would start by formatting your SD card and putting your pics back on the SD card. If you dont have a class 10 SD card then the gallery can be a pain.
I use a Samsung 64gb Pro MicroSD and it simply flies. After the first boot up.. never noticed a single refresh. Must have cached all my hundreds of pics as I can
now freely flow though my entire library at full speed with zero redraws. Hope this helps.
PS. Best Buy has the nice 64gb Samsung EVO microSD card on sale for $30 right now. That should be perfect.
That has nothing to do with this. "Havent noticed a refresh". What?
Anyway, the issue is that the gallery is NOT refreshing when new things are written to the card outside of camera photos. So downloaded photos do not show up. It has nothing to do with the SD card.
Thanks.
Good Luck then. Seems you are alone on this. Warranty replace maybe? Factory reset?

Do you have dropbox or picasa Web albums? I know on my phones , the gallery can become unusable because it wants to sync the 9000 pictures I have on drop box, another 6000 or so on picasa and a few thousand from favebook. I have my pictures set to auto upload, so they build up.
Anyway, the gallery automatically I'd set to sync those thumbnails, and the result is that my phone slows to a hault.
Turning off picasa and dropbox to sync in the gallery fixes it every time.
Nope he is not aloe. I have the same issue. And I bet you also have it.
Download a picture from dropbox to SD or externalSD, and try to find it in the gallery. You won't be able to find it because the gallery refresh is slow (or buggy). If you receive files over BT, or snap some pics, they will be instantly available in the gallery. But not downloaded or PC uploaded images.
My solution was to open the image in file exporer. Navigate to where you downloaded it, and open it 1x-2x, then it will show up in the gallery as well. Or another workaround is Quickpic.. It's quite a very awesome app that lets you show/hide different folders (which the default gallery LACKS), even password protect some. The only reason I use the built in gallery is because my display is set to auto adapt and it changes the display to AMODEL picture (but I might change the display to permanent AMOLED picture)..
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!

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.
