I was using the stock gallery app to view my photos taken by the phone's cam, then i found there are unwanted files (pictures from other programs) showing up.
Is there a way to fix this? Thanks!
You have to add .nomedia files.
Have a look at “nomedia“ on the market
Great! It's solved.
Thanks!

so ive tried several diff folders and loc. to place my photos in so gallery will recognize them...no luck. can someone tell me where they have their pics stored so gallery will display them. also, how can i get my books covers to not show in my gallery...thanks in advance. and yes, i did search first.
Are you updated to 3.1? I actually have my images on my external sdcard, but in 3.1 theres a Pictures folder, an eBooks folder, etc...I can't remember if it was configured differently in 3.0.
Download sdrescan from the market and after transfering pics use sdrescan...my pics showed up after that.

Yeah... I'm on brd 3.1. ill try rescan..i had my pics in the pic folder but they aren't recognized. And my book covers are in my gallery too... gotta figure this out..
try this
First go to applications / all and find the gallery application. Clear data and force stop. Open the gallery and see if that worked.
If that doesn't work. go applications / all and find the media storage application. clear data. Then open the gallery. Fixed my weird gallery problems.
I love everything about Picasa and all its features. Including syncing from my web albums directly to my Nexus 4's Stock Galley App.
But seeing as It does not support Subfolders/Sub Albums and It tends to just throw everything in a root folder, I'm trying to look for an alternative.
Is there any cloud based storage where I can put my pictures on and link them folders to my Stock Gallery App as Picasa does? While still keeping my folder structure? I am using dropbox at the moment, but unfortunately cant figure out how to shortcut to my pictures from my Gallery App

Hello everyone,
I am using G900F with Lolipop. I have realized that my saved photos from the web, which have .jpg extension, are not shown in the Gallery app. However, they do when I use ES File Explorer to rename the extension from .jpg to .JPG (upper case). In the mean time QuickPic shows both types just fine.
I love using stock apps, so I don't want to switch to 3rd party app like QuickPic. Does anyone have the same problem? How do you fix that? I would be grateful to know
first try to clear data of your gallery app and media storage .
or try to factory reset your phone it may works
Does clearing media storage clean up my data in internal storage (I have no SD card)? Just tried clean data of Gallery app but no difference noticed
Update: Did clear cache/data of Gallery app and Media Storage. After a reboot it showed the newly saved picture without the need to change extension. However, I tested by saving another picture, and it was still not automatically shown in Gallery I doubt a factory reset would do anything different >.<
Hi everyone. Recently I saw my battery drains due to IndexService, and when I check internet one of the suggestion was to put .nomedia file to folders where there is no media file inside, so the battery usage of service will be reduced. When I try to do it made a mistake. When I copy .nomedia file accidentally I paste it to internal storage. Directly after that I deleted it. But now in my gallery all the photos in internal storage is not there anymore. From explorer applications I can see that all photos are still okay. But cannot find what is the reason for not getting my photos in gallery. BTW, not only gallery all other apps, photo editors or social media apps cannot access to the photos as well, but only file managers. Any tip will be appreciated. Thanks
Strange, my only suggestion would be to add another photo to the folder and reboot.
Hopefully that will force an update.
Thanks for your time and help
What you suggest partly worked. Means new photo I put into the folder was seen in the gallery but not the old ones.
I would like to know if there is any perfect gallery app in which the portrait photos don't come up as separate albums instead of it shows in gallery. I am using GCam and found the issues with all gallery apps I had used but I found the OnePlus Gallery show exactly what I want but unfortunately directly installing apk from Oneplus didn't worked. Anyone having any solution or working gallery which shows both portrait and original photo inside Camera folder instead of different folder?
I had created this thread because I found so many people using Gcam but no one had asked about this kind of Gallery app.
Will be very thankful if anyone have gallery like this.
