Hello,
For some reason all my album tumbnails are corrupted. Meaning the picture on the album folder is full of colored lines, sometimes the whole picture, sometimes half a picture corupt.
Anyone any idea how to restore the images on my album tumbnails?
Do you mean when you scroll to 'Pics & Vids' then click 'Albums' and view the camera shots in thumbnail view?
I have this same problem too - it has only happened recently after I deleted the album cache on my device as I was running low on memory.
As soon as I went back into my Albums, the cache file size would obviously start increasing again, but only the first 10 or 15 images in the thumbnail view now display properly, the rest appear black with the coloured lines running across like you mentioned
At first thought it might be a memory issue and it couldn't handle saving too many thumbnails, but I have since freed up some more memory (50+meg) by deleting Google Maps, Opera cache etc and still have the issue so cant be that.
Hopefully someone else can be more helpful
Same issue idd...
Anyone know a solution for this?

Some how my thumbnails in Album are messed up. If I tap on a particular thumbnail I get the full photo of another photo.
Is there some way to delete the thumbnail cache so it refreshes?
Thanks!
hi, I have the same problem. already tried to delete cache files but the thumbnails are still messed up...
i sadly had to hard reset it to fix it.
hi,
here's a solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4121645&postcount=2
worked fine except that one image still has a wrong thumbnail. maybe this is because the image is larger than 1 MB...
Great stuff.. that fix did the trick perfectly for me. thx michlmania
Title says it all really.
anyone else find that the Album app shows the wrong thumbnail for some pics? If you tap on the thumbnail, picture that comes up is different. I am even finding that the thumbnail shown for some photos is a photo that has been deleted!
Eg. album shows thumbnail of photo I took with the camera. However, tapping on it brings up one of the default wallpapers. Every time I open Album, different pictures are affected. Tried searching but couldn't find a solution to this. Any ideas?
Hi fisha21
Had the same problem for some time. Did some research but without luck. What I did to fix it, i deleted the HTC Album Cache manually.
Go to
<YOUR_TOPAZ>Application Data\HTC\HTC ALBUM\Cache
and Backup all the files to your system for the case something goes wrong. My files are about 20mb so I think the thumbnails are stored in there.
When the backup is done, delete all files in the cache-folder and softreset your device.
After that all my thumbnails in HTC Album were plain white. I think that's because it has to renew the Cache first. This could take some time. I'm not sure what triggers the renewing of the cache. I just viewed some pictures an after some time everything was okay and it showed the right thumbails. Just be patient.
I hope the same procedure could help you too. If not just copy the backed up files back into the folder.
Thanks for the tip! Will give that a try.
I've had this problem too. It's actually really annoying as you never know which picture you're going to get!
I find that it seems to get better after a soft reset, but the more you scroll through your pictures the more jumbled they seem to get.
Did Syrus01's fix work for you? Did the problem come back again?
I have been using FroyoStone Series V1 for about 2 weeks and when I went back to WinMo (until I get my hands on V2) I have noticed quite a problem.
My archived photos I had (about 100) have vanished (!?!) and my gallery from Home Tabs no longer works properly. For some odd reason gallery now reads EVERYTHING graphics related and all small icons, shortcuts, etc - is displayed in it () Then, no larger pictures can be slid from one to another unless I start viewing pictures from Albums - than I can slide, multi-zoom, etc.
Does anyone have similar problems and what possibly can be the solution to it?
I too have the same problem, the images tab stores all the images of the Android system, there is a solution?

Try to hide in options all folders OR go into your DCM folder and then thumbnails and delete all of the little pics. This actually solved mu issue under WinMo sine it now works totally fine.
MOD - you may rename it with SOLVED... thanks
Hi!
I found something weird when I was surfing my images by htc albums … I had faced to this problem, bug, or whatever you call in my computer’s win7 before, but in my HD2 that is really huge! … the problem is that image thumbnails are not updated, means if you have a cropped or edited image, you will see the thumbnail as the original image! … I cannot give you a screenshot of that from my ppc cause the images are something private, a friend sent them to me, and I’ve not checked this problem for other images but I can give you the screenshot (attachment, it is not mine, i have found it as an example) which shows the problem in windows7 pc just to know what I mean!
But as I said, this problem in htc albums is more obvious. Cause I could see the thumbnails showing the original images which for I was not able to see those thumbnails even in win7 pc … in fact I thought they are ok cause they were ok in pc (thumbnail and image were matching each other) but as I brought them in htc album, found out they were cropped!
you can check it if you have some pics which are cropped or edited … put them in a folder in your ppc … go to htc albums, now you can see the thumbnails differ from the original images … to see more original images; click on one of them, try to quickly go to the next images … it will take fraction of a second to load the images so it shows temporarily the thumbnail (which has lower resolution), quickly tap and hold the screen to stop loading image!!! Now you can watch the thumbnail how long you want … holding the screen try to go to the next images (drag the image to the right or left in landscape and up or down in portrait … for a moment release ur finger and quickly tap and hold the other side of the screen by another finger, now you can drag the next thumbnail to the center of the screen without loading) and watch all the cropped or edited images in original type, one by one!
This can be annoying, and for someone like me may be useful!
I wanted to know, how can I have those thumbnail freely?? I mean without trying to watch them like that! I want the thumbnails separately! Any idea?
Sorry if I have not chosen the right place to post my thread!
Thanks for attention!
I can see two causes.
HTC album can have problems with refreshing thumbnails. If the file has same name as some picture which was in the same folder, there could be a problem.
The other cause could be that JPG can have thumbnail inside. Some album software can use this thumbnail, instead of creating it's own. As HTCAlbum is pretty fast in displaying thumbnails, I guess it is the case.
Then it is problem of the editing software. It cropped the image, but left the old thumbnail. Try to safe the image to BMP and then open the BMP and save it to JPG again .. that should remove the inlined thumbnail no matter what.

thanks for reply!
the images have been cropped by windows xp photo viewer, the crop tool!and have been edited by windows xp paint! i have searched for this problem and found out the other programs like windows7 live photo gallery will cause to this problem!
i said i dont really want to solve this problem, i wanna have these thumbnails separately! ... don't you know where htcalbum saves the thumbnails?? cause windows7 (pc) explorer shows some of the thumbnails (original image) but htcalbum shows almost all the thumbnails in original type!!and even in higher resolution in comparison to pc thumbnails!
in computer, i have tried to refresh the windows thumbnails cache to update them but no use!
anyway, i want to find where those thumbnails are saved in winmo!
seems no one can help!
9 out of 10 times, nothing loads in the gallery. Sometimes the folder shows up but no pictures, and sometimes just the yellow/black background. I can reboot my phone but the problem will persist again after leaving it on for awhile.
Anyone else having this problem?
I am with Virtuous 9.0 and 9.5 which uses the HTC Gallery. Only folder it displays is the camera shots folders. There are a couple of other folders on my phone that won't shot up (like my DroCap folder).
the 3d gallery is total garbage.
Believe it or not, the stock gallery that came with the espresso sense on the Mytouch slide was better than the 3d gallery. At least all the pictures showed up and it wasn't dog crap slow.
Do you guys have tons of pictures on your phones?
I may have 100 seperated into folders on my sd card. Just wondering if the amount of pics may be the problem.
Have over 300 pictures in my gallery and MOST of the time it works just fine. Sometimes it will open up and not display anything. A force close and a cache clear typically fixes that though.
I've also noticed mine sometimes does not load any pictures and I have to close it and try again. It's been working pretty good the past few days though.
Any chance at getting the old-school gallery version on these G2s? I tried QuickPic and really liked it, but the only downfall is that it took a while to generate thumbnail images when you launched it. Worse of all, it seemed to do that every time I started that application, but it is better than the 3-D gallery.

Here is a thread for the old 2d gallery.
I tried it but I was too lazy to let it make thumbnails of all my pictures and I nandroided back. I may try it again if there are good results.

You could try clearing cache for the gallery. Settings - manage applications - all - gallery then clear cache.

When it happens, use Rescan Media. It will scan your phone and show up all of your pictures and videos.

I don't think it has something to do with the quantity. The 1st time it occured to me it was 10 days after I got my phone and I had something like 50 pics in it.
From what I've read since this is a well-known bug.
