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

Did you clear cache and data from gallery app?

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.

Just noticed the gallery is no longer showing the thumbnail previews from previous day's pix. Anyone ever have this happen?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
If you go into the camera app, does the preview show up there? if so, reboot your Fascinate, and it will force the media scanner to rescan which will populate the pictures.
mine does this iv noticed if i go to gallery and try to go to one of my folders right away without letting it fully load it wont show some or all of my pics iv taken
Don't know if this should make a difference, but the pics that don't show thumbnails are the ones that were on the sd card from my previous fascinate. Vzw replaced it for an unrelated issue &I just swapped the cards before sending the other phone back.

You didn't by chance remove or freeze the media scanner while cleaning bloatware did you?
Nope media scanner msg comes on @ boot. The only other thing that occurred to me was the PowerAmp music player. I d/l the trial version and it has a setting to exclude some of your media/music folders from sys.scanning. I looked at the settings menu but don't think I changed any settings though.

Whenever i take a few photos with the camera they show up in the gallery for a minute or two then when you go back into gallery they dont show up but astro can see them fine, ive tried clearing data and the cache for gallery. Is there any fix to this?

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.
Saw a strange thing in my Nexus 7(8 GB) today. When I go into Settings -> Storage, and then click on the 'Pictures, Videos' button, it opens up the Gallery, but the entire screen is blank (black) and no pictures or videos show up, despite waiting. If, however, I go to the Gallery app directly, it loads all my applications absolutely fine. Is this something that others have seen/ are seeing in their tablets as well?
Sorry if this question has already been asked before. I tried searching for it but couldn't find anything.
My N7 is being replaced, but i think this works. Once in gallery thru storage menu press settings>make available offline (or similar), pin the ones you want and then retry (you may have to restart the device). Confused the hell outta me for ages!

Had this posted ina thread in general nut this is a more appropriate spot.
That said...Does anyone have gallery issues when trying to attach a pic on an email or mms...or even here on xda?
The gallery opens no prob but when I click on an album which has the pic I want all the albums names disappear. Then it just hangs like that for a minute or so then the chosen gallery opens.
Its really annoying and my s3,s4 and note 2 do not do this.
Thanks for any input.

Why not just use quickpic?
That and fishbowl work fine but I prefer the stock gallery.plus a phone like this should not do that you should be able to use the stock applications without any issues.

Same Problem
I have the exact same issue.
* I turned of all sync.
* I rebooted in recovery mode. I wiped data/factory reset, and I also wiped cache.
I'm still having the same problem!!! everything else works just fine, but this problem is killing me :crying: :crying: :crying:
It does it for me on Whatsapp. For some reason I can't select Quickpic there. (One of the many, many, many flaws of Whatsapp). Select 'send picture', Gallery opens, Gallery freezes, Whatsapp crashes.
If I disable Gallery, I can't share anything from within Whatsapp. Highly annoying.
I'm finding a lot of app conflicts period. I don't usually need to do data/factory resets, but I've had to already with this phone and did a cache wipe and I've only had it a week. Love it anyway, though.
FWIW I haven't had any stock gallery issues.
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??
