is there a recycle bin on android phones? the facebook app is deleting photos that are uploaded and I want to see if I can get them back.
They will likely be on your SD, but there is no recycle bin

hi, it did the same thing to me as well.
I use a undelete program to recover the lost photos
You cam always try using Piriform's Recuva program to get back deleted files once the phone is connected to the computer.

I know you're asking about Picasa sync issues, I don't know if they are saved on your sdcard but this may help:
Drop a .nomedia file in a folder and all media files become invisible to the gallery..
A .nomedia file is just an empty text file saved with no name and the extension .nomedia
You can make the file yourself, or just copy one of the many that are already on your card and paste the copy in whatever folder you want hidden from the gallery.
There was a bug last year that caused previously indexed media to be deleted if they were subsequently hidden. I'm pretty certain it's been fixed but you might want to test on a file you don't mind losing before you wipe out your entire porn collection
edit: I'm running CM7rc0 and it appears the bug has been fixed. It's an old bug, I would guess late versions of 2.2 are fixed also. I just tried this on some junk files, rebooted and they are still on my card but not in my gallery

So just now gallary and videos app stopped finding files on my sd card but when I use a file explorer everything is there? I tried uninstalling and installing the gallary app again but that didn't help. Has anyone ever had this issue? I'm trying to dogde reflashing my rom... it seems the problem is media scanner doesn't run because when I rebooted my phone it didn't show up at first like it always does.

Try using an app like QuickPic and see if they show up. If they don't, make sure the folders containing you media aren't hidden (have a "." at the beginning of the folder name). Also check to make sure somehow there wasn't a .nomedia file placed in there somewhere.
If none of those work, time to reflash.

I haven't tried it but believe that QuickPic would work because the stock video app doesn't find any files but mobo player still works normally. I'm just having problems with media scanner not running. Any app which I could refresh or rescan from within the app finds all my stuff but any app that depends on media scanner doesn't find anything. Idk why media scanner won't run though. Its not that big of a problem but I may have to reflash.
Thanks though =).

Is there a system app that has to do with media scanner? Because I believe I may have uninstalled it or replaced it with an older version that isn't working anymore. I was working on a port of the Epic Dark Horse theme and I didn't pay that much attention to what are the app files already in it. It may have had an older media scanner app that doesn't work on my phone now when I flashed it. That's like the only thing I can possibly think of that messed up media scanner. Is there such an app?

Hi everyone, so I have fx file browser and I use it to manage files on my phone. I download some pictures and do screenshots of some funny pictures, and I want to move them all to their own file. So I made a file, and moved them all to that file. I go to gallery, but I still see that those pictures are in the downloads and screenshots folder. So I clear data with the gallery, reboot, and still they haven't moved to the new folder I made. It has been 3 days since I have done this, and the pictures still show up in the downloads and screenshots folder, while fx says that they are all in the new folder. Any ideas on how to fix this??
Thanks!

You created a new Folder (not file). For your pictures. Did you copy them to the new folder or cut and paste them? I'm thinking you copied them. If you copied them Gallery will still find them in the old location.
Using your file explorer, find your new folder, open it, cluck on a picture, open with Gallery. Gallery should find them after that.
Try a media scanner from play store

I have a certain folder with "only for my eyes" content that I have always had hidden by using a . Before the folder. (.folder) I come from an S3 so I had a microsd card which I sorry miss but I had transferred everything without issue but once I added a new photo too the folder it now shows up in my gallery. Resetting the cache on gallery and reboot has not helped.
Any help you guys can offer?

Try creating a blank file .nomedia inside the folder. Then the Gallery wont read it.

Thanks but that didn't do it unfortunately. A reset of the gallery and a reboot got rid of the new photo. But once I put a new one in there it again appeared in gallery.

using the stock gallery? why not long press and hit hidden folders.. you can then hide it.

^^^ What he said. But still, strange that the .nomedia trick didn't work. Worked on mine. But I haven't added any new pics to the folder, though
Hey guys I have a weird issue where my gallery app is not seeing some of my pics on my external sd card. The pics it is not seeing are pics that I had moved onto the card from my computer. They are in the DCIM folder along with some pics I have taken with my device. Currently only the pics taken with my device are showing in the gallery app. Anyone else having this issue?
Mods, please move this to the help/Q&A section. I mistakenly posted in general
Hey guys just want to bump this. Surely I'm not the only one having this problem. Any help greatly appreciated
Check for .nomedia files on your sd card and remove them

In my case the gallery shows only pictures saved till a given date. Lasta night I made an experience: Dismounted SD card and Mounted it agais, amd the result is that now I get even less pictures displayed.
However I can find and use them using root explorer, but not with any gallery app
I also run some sd-fix app's but with no result
very strange

Thanks pasil. Hopefully somebody else might chime in with some other ideas. I've tried everything so far. It just doesn't make sense. The .jpg files are saved in the same place as the other .jpg files that are pictures I have taken with my phone. There is no logical reason why those .jpg pics show up and not the ones from my computer. The gallery app should pick up all .jpg files.

Just tried clearing data/cache. Didn't work. [emoji19]
I even tried using a different gallery app and that app doesn't see the photos either.
Did you checked the date? sometimes it's resetted to 1999 and the recently taken photos are placed at the end of the list.

Just checked the dates and they are OK. The recent photos I have taken with my device all show in my gallery, but some of the other .jpg photos I moved onto my sd card from my computer just aren't showing up at all in the gallery. Makes no sense. I'm totally at a loss. I can see the pics in ES File explorer but not in the gallery
That maybe stupid suggestions. Can you access those "invisible" picture using stock file manager? If yes, try to create new folder using stock file manager and copy/move few pictures for testing. Check if new folder with pictures shows in gallery.

Maybe you could try little walk around. What about uploading few testing pictures on your pc to your dropbox account and see if you can successfully save them for offline viewing on your note.

Ok so this is really weird. If I download a pic from my drive account it does show up in my gallery. Also, if I move one of the photos that is not visible in gallery on my sd card to my internal device storage then it also becomes visible in my gallery. So the issue is isolated to photos moved onto the ext sd card from my pc. I'm hoping someone smarter than me can come up with a fix because I have many photos I like to keep downloaded on my ext sd card.
What about moving them back to sd card. Try to create folder on sd card using stock file manager and move pictures to that folder. I have no problem storing pics on my sd card.

Ok so problem solved! Upon your advice I created a folder on my sd card and moved the pics there and they showed up! Turns out if you have them saved anywhere in the DCIM folder on the SD card they won't show up, but if you move them out from there they show up in the gallery app just fine.
instaled Quickpic and now I can see all photos and pictures
