Got a call from a friend today who has a D2G, said he woke up this morning and his pictures had vanished over night. He tried his card in his old galaxy s and kept getting a force close when opening the gallery. He then tried it in his D1 and it would open, show that he had all his pics, and then fc. The next time he would open the gallery it would show about half the photos and fc, and so on.
Any ideas?

I had that happen to me a few weeks ago and had to reload the photos.

Did the file names get screwy to? And what exactly did you do to fix it? I need step by step instructions for my friend >. > and it doesn't help that I haven't encountered anything like this with my evo.

Ok this is going to sound really stupid but hear me out I'm POSITIVE I didn't delete the videos off my phone.
So yesterday I was out with some friends just chilling and I took some pretty funny videos of some of my friends. To share them with my friends I decided I was gonna upload them to youtube, but I couldnt do it directly from my phone for some reason. So I decided to email both video files via gmail to myself then upload them later on the computer. I check a couple hours later and the message is still sending, because of the amount of memory both videos were I assume, so I decided to give up and just find them on the sd card then move them to my pc. So I delete the message that was sending with the attached files since I wasnt going to go about it that way anymore, but then I go back and look through my phone and notice I cant find the videos. By attaching them to my gmail did I move them off the SD card?
I don't know about your main problem but in order to send pics/videos your carriers mobile data must be on, it will not work if only WiFi is enabled.

Sorry I knew it was too confusing. The uploading wasn't the main problem, my main question is if by me attaching those video files to my email then deleting them while they were still in the sending process, did I basically just delete those files off my sd card too??
It shouldn't have deleted the videos, not sure how that could have happened.

Not if you're sending them in Gmail like he was.

Yeah that's why I'm confused, idk they're no where to be found I guess I did something stupid, im still sure I didnt delete them myself though.. /:
What usually happens with me is the gallery app doesn't read new vids or pics when its running I kill the app & they pop up

I have a problem with the gallery app too!! Looking closely one of the random camera videos, it has a screenshot from a different video I did delete. How is this possible.. I may have deleted the two videos by accident because of this. Is there any sort of trashcan?

So I cant just delete everything in that cache folder? or Just delete the video cache?
I delete the whole file as it will rebuild the cache

Have you tried using a program to locate the deleted files and "undelete" them?

You can "undelete" from SDCARD with 3rd party applications, I have done long time ago. But I am not sure you can do it since android writes/modifies sdcard too much.

Get quickpic. Been using it ever since. I hate gallery lol. Quick pic is 10 times quicker

I've had this happen on occasion, usually they show up again if I manually rescan media using Spare Parts.
Thanks guys I'll try both of those things. Another little annoying problem I've been having is with my ringtone, I go into the htc music app and find a good song and trim it etc etc, ringtone works fine for a while, then whenever someone calls me later on, it goes back to the default quietly brilliant app!, I even made my own custom sound set etc. I'm not sure what to do with this one and it's really annoying.

Not trying to sound like a smartass but you don't have it plugged in and set to mass storage mode when this happens, correct? Had a friend almost throw her phone out the window because it did what you're describing and well... see the previous sentence.
I did a factory reset and that solved my issue. No more disappearing photos. It gets pretty annoying though!

Highly recommend QuickPic, as the previous user suggested. It's totally reliable and the dev is great with support.
Stock gallery is prone to issues... I haven't had it installed for months.

One more thing to add. The only thing I don't like about quickpic is that it doesn't show my picasa albums like gallery does. I seriously doubt most people use picasa as much as I do though

if you want to use gallery, run first rescanSD. then you pics will become available again... it will not last for long. as soon as you exit and go in again, it will not be visible again...
rescanSD for some reason has never worked for me, i've been frustratingly going through astro shortcuts to my photos until recently.
OK i have looked everywhere and tried every "solution" i have seen. hopefully XDA can help...whenever i open up my gallery and go to All tab for my pictures, there are my regular pictures there but also a whole bunch of grey boxes. when i select them i dont have the option to delete them and its driving me crazy. went to the picasa web app and deleted all my empty albums, cleared the cache from my gallery app and even tried doing it from the desktop application and they are still there. any help would be greatly appreciated. oh any btw phone is completely stock, unrooted.
This is not an ideal solution, but it's what I've done. For me, the gallery was freezing, or at least lagging for 5 or 10 seconds when I'd try to select an album.
My fix, if you can call it that, was to stop using gallery, and use something called QuickPic instead. It's basically the same thing. It also makes it very easy to exclude or include folders.
Yea I was using quickpic on my last phone and just havent installed it yet on this one. Still would like the gallery to function properly though.

My gallery shows a bunch of "broken pics", and quick pic shows a bunch of grey boxes. Anyone know of a solution?

Could these be pics that were deleted that gallery thinks are still there?
Have you tried a reboot? Clearing data and cache for gallery app?
What mods have you done?
Not sure what gallery thinks they are. Ive deleted everything thats unwanted in picasa but there is still a little picasa icon next to the empty albums. No mods done at all

How about some screenshots so we can see what is going on? I find that the newest ROMs based on the newest International firmware, fixes all of the gallery stutter and lag as well.
Hey guys, i have been rooted for about a day now, running stock rom. I just took a picture and now when i try to go into my gallery i get a force close, i have tried clearing the data and stopping the process, none of that works. I havent downloaded anything and my gallery was working fine up until my last picture.
For reference the picture was of a group of wild Turkey's. They gobbled as i took the pic. As far as i know there are no Turkey related curses right??

i'm having the same issue here too =/
idk, after root, i can't see my pictures with the app, it keeps closing..
Hey guys,
I've been searching around, but I can't find a clearcut fix, so maybe someone here has some insight. Recently I started noticing that random pictures started dissapearing from my gallery, seemingly (but not 100% sure) after the kitkat update on my Note 3. Before I also saw some pics dissapear (a couple I downloaded) but I didn't put much thought into it.
Now, after the update, I was sarting to notice more pictures have dissapeared. The thing is, if I go into whatsapp, select a convo and click on media I actually see the pictures and all, but in the gallery in the "whatsapp images", and in "all images" album they are nowhere to be found. I tried for a solution on google, but to no avail except rescanning the media. Usually that would be taking the sd card out and put it back in to rescan the card, but it refuses. The weird thing is that every app in the store that deals with rescans imediatly Force closes when starting the scan. I mean all of them, and I installed about 10. I have no cfw's or roms running so I can't figure out what the issue is.
Obviously I tried resetting, rebooting and all the usual stuffs.
ANy help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dylan
Seems like you need a reflash of stock firmware.
No data lost btw

Did it work out for you?
You see - I seem to have run into the exact same issue.
Running 4.4.2 stock rooted.
Reflashed with Mobile Odin
Injected Root, SU, and Mobile Odin
Wiped Dalvik-cache & user data.
Reinstalled everything.
Improvement: Zip, Zilch, Nada.
Still forced closure on media scanners :crying:
Help!! (sniffle).

Elo
Fixing permissions didn't help either.
