Weird Issue - HTC Aria - Liberated Aria DDX FR-007 (FRF91) (Rooted)
I have a weird issue where none of my Photos or Music are showing in their default applications on my phone. I have tried restarting the phone, removing the SD card, removing-restart-shutdown replace-restart again, clear cached data for the apps individually and still nothing. I can take pictures with my camera and they are saved in the default camera roll and folder but only show in the camera roll until I restart my phone and then they do not show anymore. I am running into the same thing with Music. I am able to download music on my phone and is shows in the default app and in WinAmp until I restart my phone and then nothing. This whole issue just started last night and I have been running with this rom for several months now.
I can see all pictures and music from Astro and I can even click on songs individually and they will open the app of my choice and play with no issues and the same goes with photos and videos.
I have apps that have been moved to this SD card and I have had no problems with any of the apps, I have tried all that I have moved to the SD and they are fine.
Does anyone have a clue as to what may be going on?

... problem exactly as stated above. Sometimes I will take a picture with the camera and it doesn't show up in the photo gallery until I restart the phone.
Anyone else have a problem with this? Has anyone figured out a way to fix it without restarting?
Yeah I'm having these issue as well and also happens with picture downloads. they wont show in the gallery until after a few reboots at times as well. or sure what's going on with that.
a quick fix, so you dont have to reboot your phone is to kill gallery with a task manager, and open it up again.
ok guys i'm had that same issue now my gallery is gone altogether....my gallery will load but it says loading images...then it says there is no content to be read...i down load an app from the market and it not seeing my sd card either...but if i go in file explore i can see everything on my card....i done a hard reset like three time no luck please help....htc said may have to send the phone back...i think its to small of an issue to lose my phone for a week or more...it maybe a simple fix so i will try this first before...ty for any help someone can offer
oh yeah if i take a new pic it will show up in the gallery but when i reboot its gone....
ok guys i fixed....what i did was took everything off my sd card....re formated...turn the phone off for like 5 min....then back on....put every thing back on the card check the music player and gallery to see if they worked and everything was there....then i rebooted to see if everything would disappear so far i'm good to go i have all my pics and files back....only thing on the first gallery load up be patient it take a min to load the sd card it will flash loading...but after that im good to go...i'm by a new sd card i think that may have been the issue....
It happens to me too. I unmount and remount the sdcard, and the Gallery finds everything.
I find if i go into the camera app, the latest photo is there in the preview box. if i open it, and then go back to the gallery app, it (usually) appears. but yes, annoying bug really.

oddly, i never had this problem until just a second ago, but what this guy said is exactly how i got around it too. i took a photo, task killed camera, went to gallery, no photo, reopened camera, photo was in preview, clicked on it, went to gallery from there, and there it was, ready to share.
it's gotta be a bug of some kind. perhaps the most recent photo isn't loaded to gallery until another photo is taken, or you click preview box. stupid, but possible.
Problem Solved
Hi friends, I encountered the problem as well today and found the solution: Go to the sdcard and search folders for a file named .nomedia and delete it should solve the problem. No need to format or things like that worked fine for me. seems some kind of bug
.nomedia is a file designed to hide directories from being searched by Android Media Scan (which includes Gallery). There is absolutely no reason to delete it, and it's not a bug.
However, there is a bug in Media Scan, which sometimes causes Gallery to "miss" pictures. Executing Media Rescan (from "Development") solves it, or as stated above, just unmounting and mounting the SD card.
There's no Media Rescan in Development on my gb 2.3.3.
I've experienced something similar. I've been running the various CM7 builds and whenever I'd take a pic and immediately share it on Facebook, the pic will never be seen again.
Since then, I've gotten in the habit of hitting up Sugarsync first to sync the new pics, the send it up to Facebook via the gallery.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
stock 2.3.3 and i had the problem today.
force quit gallery and it was back to normal.
why is 2.3.3 so buggy!?
When going into Applications => Gallery => Camera Shots, new pictures I took with the camera do not appear there.
Using Astro, I can see that the new pictures I took all appear in /mnt/sdcard/DCIM/100MEDIA, and this directory also contains the pictures that DO appear in the gallery.
Phone is DZ Froyo 2.2 stock, and this could have started after the OTA upgrade, not really sure though...
I just took another picture now in order to verify the problem, and for some reason it DOES appear in the Gallery, however pictures from the last week do not appear there (they are in the 100MEDIA directory like I mentioned).
Any ideas?
It's a gallery cache issue. The stock gallery app just sucks, a simple reboot fixes it, but I know it's a pain in the
As omarsalmin wrote it is a cache issue. Instead of rebooting, use a app to reload the cache. Eg Rescan w w w.appbrain.com/app/rescan-media/com.addz.mediascanner.
Had the very same issue the other day. It's really strange and affects more than the stock gallery. Both it, the Nexus one and SugarSync had the same problem. So I assume the problem has more to do with Android/HTC than the specific app.
Thanks! I must've missed other posts about this because the same thing happens to me, and I was thinking there was a problem with my microSDHC card. So rooting and installing a new ROM will probably fix this right? Thinking about going to Virtuous.
I had the same problem the other day with my recent pictures and videos. it didn't even show the video folder. I rebooted and it fixed the issue.
Thanks for the advice mullepol, I'm going to install the application you suggested
Thanks guys, the pictures actually came back before I had a chance to check this thread, but they were kind of messed up order-wise. after installing Rescan it seems to be better.
The first thing I did after taking the A500 out of the box to test drive some features, like the camera, browser, etc. The very next thing I did was root it....then using Titanium Backup I started deleting bloat ware. I found it odd that there seemed to be 3 different programs to view photos, so I deleted the two programs (forgot what they were called), figuring I would simply use the standard Android Gallery....like I do on every other Android device I have ever owned.
After a restart I noticed that the video and pics I took before removing those programs were gone. So I tried using file manager to find them on either the SD card or device, no luck. Plugging the tablet into a computer was no help, and placing the SD card in my laptop didn't help. Those pics and videos are simply gone. I don't know if it is a bad SD card, or by deleting those programs that caused the problem. I have since changed my camera settings to save to the device and not the SD card, and took a few more videos and pics just to see what happens.
Wasn't sure if this was common.
My Vibrant periodically "loses sight" of media I have downloaded. I have downloaded ringtones off of zedge and podcasts through Dogg Catcher. Periodically (not sure what causes it), the phone cannot find those things. This means that if I have set a custom ringtone, my phone does not ring. I have missed several calls because of this. At first, I thought it was a Zedge issue, but it happens in DoggCatcher as well. I will go into play a downloaded podcast, and I get an error that the file cannot be found. If I reboot, it fixes itself, but it happens later.
I am running Bionix Nextgen, but I know it's not a ROM issue, because it also happened on other ROMs I have used. I think it's a matter of my phone looking for a file in a certain place instead of where it is housed. Could it be an SD issue? Anyone have this happen to them? Any help is appreciated.
its an sd card issue most likely, try a different SD card. I'd recommend you reformat your SD card, Odin back to stock and then flash a new rom
i had similar issues try an app like sdrescan i tend to be able to find everything after running that n it only takes a matter of a few minutes

I doubt it's an SDcard issue, it sounds more like a problem with media scanner since the files become visible once you reboot (after media scanner re-scans).

That's not going to help. He has already tried different roms, same problem. Android Media Storage Service, which controls Media Scanner is buggy. Lots of threads here about Media Scanner stuck at 0% or taking over 15 minutes to complete.
First thing to do is flush the cache.
Go to application manager -> running applications -> Media Storage and clear data. Reboot phone or run the sdrescan app shreddintyres recommends. This will restart Media Scanner. Anytime your Vibrant "loses" sight of any media you have downloaded you need to re-run Media Scanner either by app, reboot, plugging into PC and enabling/disabling USB storage.
It is also recommended that you put an empty file named .nomedia into any folder in your phone that does not contain media. This tells media scanner to ignore these folders and will make media scanning faster since it has less folders to scan.
Hi there,
I apologize for my english.
It is not my native language .
But I have a frustrating problem.
My note 3 keeps self deleting files from my 64gb samsung sd card after a minute or reboot when the files created. So ie: I take a picture. It saves it. I close the camera app. Open gallery. File icon is there, click to open it and the file can't open.. Same with spotify, I add new music to my library and close the app and get back to it downloads it again.
Apps that are stored on the sd card, spotify music, pictures, movies, everything that was stored from two weeks ago.
So two weeks ago I had no problems. At all with this phone. Except the proximity sensor that kept the screen off after a call. But I don't mind that.
I can't save music(songs that were downloaded with spotify before the issue are still there, but when I download a new song it deletes after app close, pictures or what so ever.
What did I do before posting?
Okay, I backed up my sd card(only pictures, videos, downloads, etc, efc)
Format it(no quick format, full format) and put the files back. Copied and paste, not cut and paste(incase it wanted to delete it because it were 'new files')
And still the problem was still present. If you have or had this issue, you will understand how frustrating this is.
The only new app I downloaded that might cause this problem is a youtube downloader but I deleted that app, still same problem.
And if it is an app that causes this problem, the only thing that would help is a factory reset.
And if I do a factory reset, I really need to back up my apps. But if I back up my apps, I don't know what app is causing this problem.
Please guys, I have searched on google for this issue, and I really don't know what to do. I lost pictures of my daughters first school day. This is not funny anymore.
I have found a threat with a similar issue on note 2 but that was only with the videos and a sd card format helped for that guy.
