Did the following happen to any of you?
I was browsing my DCIM\MEDIA folder with Astro just now, and I tried to open one of the photos within Astro. It asked me whether I would like to open it using the viewer built into Astro or using Album. I selected Album, then it opened up Album and got stuck in the screen saying "loading SD card data...". It never stopped loading, so I pressed home and tried to open the photo from with Album. To my surprise, about 50 out of 60 of my photos in the DCIM\MEDIA folder are now gone! I tried remounting the SD card but that didn't help. Using a card reader to access the SD card with my computer couldn't find those photos either. It seems that they are gone forever... Other stuff on my SD card are intact though, doesn't seem to be a problem of my SD card...
I wish HTC Sync syncs photos... I am using stock 2.73.405.5 ROM by the way...
Edit: NM - went to T-mo store and found out the memory card was defective.
Every time I take a picture with the camera the default HTC Gallery will show the photo, but if I have to restart the phone and go back into the Gallery app, it won't recognize that I've taken any pictures. Same with videos too.
I can see the pictures just fine when using the stock Froyo Gallery or through ASTRO, and if I go through ASTRO, I can then view it in the HTC Gallery.
The problem is I can't change my lock screen picture since it only allows me to change it using pictures from the HTC Gallery or the Wallpaper Gallery, and the HTC Gallery just will not see that I have pictures on the SD card.
I've tried unmounting and mounting the SD card and nothing.
Help!
Hey guys,
Woke up this morning and all my camera taken pics are gone! They gallery opens up and there are folders listed with downloaded and sample photos, but no camera photos. Not even the "camera" folder was there. I just took a picture now and it created the camera folder and there is only the one picture in there that I just took. I had like 350-400 pics on there and poof they are gone.
Any ideas?
Anybody know the path on the SD card of where the pics are stored?
Thanks.
/sdcard/DCIM/Camera is where my pics are stored anyways.
I remember in my days with my Moment my gallery used to not always load the images. I would delete the directory /sdcard/Android/data/com.cooliris.media and then it would force the gallery to search the sdcard again to index all the pics. No idea if that's the approved process or if it works on the Epic (mainly cause I haven't had the issue), but it used to do the trick.
Search the market for Rescan Media. Useful tool to force a rescan for the gallery.
Un-mount and remount sd card should be ok

I can navigate the sd card anf the DCIM folder is ther, but empty. I unmounted and restarted the phone with a battery pull too, nothing. Ill try rescan media later. I just found out my lookout mobile app was also not set to back up pics
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.
My tablet came with a rather nice photo-viewer called Photo Browser 3D. It has a nice album-themed interface and cool page flipping but I cant make it see photos on my external SD card, it only sees photos on the internal one.
Anyone else using this know how to get it to scan the external card?
Thanks.
I have the same problem with this app and the gallery.

Have you tried a reboot? apparently there is a known bug in Android that causes it to do this and delay before adding media.
Downloading an app like "ScanMedia" or "SDRescan" or "rescan media ROOT" (if rooted), install, then running that app before viewing the gallery or photo browser should work fine and will find all folders, internal or ex with photos ..... AND saves rebooting!
EDIT: just got ScanMedia for my a500, works fine.

No shortage of reboots here. I downloaded QuickPic, set the pictures folder to the external sd card and it loaded the pictures. I then went to the stock gallery and it saw all the pictures.
just an SDcard app scanner and all is fine... (also, clear the cache of gallery sometimes help)
