[Q] Images transfered doesnt show up in gallery - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought this phone few days back and now to my horror i could not find images transfered to phone in GALLERY... none of the folders(dowloads,bluetooth,whatsapp,music) synchronise with my device...but it shows up in third part explorers like ES explorer/Solid Explorer.. Tried formatting twice.. but of no use, any help guys?

I'd recommend ditching Stock Gallery for Quickpic. It works much better and gives you the option to include or exclude folders. (And more options.)

Have you frozen Indexationservice, by any chance?

the problem would still remain the same..... i found that even music doesnt synchronise with default music player and videos also doesnt show up in gallery.
tried formatting twice to reset if there was any issue with it... but no use...

No ALBUM software in my jasjar !

There is no album software in my jasjar. can I download it from anywhere ?
there is no album for wm2005. you have to use "Pictures & Videos" it is more powerful because it is integrated...
i like Pictures & Videos, but it dosent allow you to open pics from a network share, not a biggy tho, its fast, effecient, "does exactlly as is says on the tin" aslong as you got M$ shaped glasses,
did anybody actually tried this one?

i use it on my BA with wm2005.
thanks pimbo . it works

I have been using this one, however it seems that it's hanging quite a lot of times whenever I am viewing any media - the only solution is soft reset. However it might have something to do with the Pocket Hack Master which I have also installed, but since I never had problems with any other application, except Album, I think it is not the reason.
Pictures & Videos is the only option we have... I have tried couple of other old versions, but doesnt work...
and with this Pictuers & Videos, there seems to be a bug, you cant view GIF files... Even if they are animated they show as static one, at the same time if you receive any GIF file in MMS, device can still play the image with animation.

Only stock ringtones and movies a no show

Hello all. So far so good with my Evo, but I have been reading and reading and I did not see the answers to the following.
-If I create a ringtone with ringdroid it saves it sd/media/audio/ringtones and the file will show up in stock list when setting ringtone. I had a hero and have about 20 others that I placed into the same folder but they will NOT show up and the only way I can apply is to use Handcent. What is going on?
The next issue is with video. I have some movies and a few received video messages that played fine on the hero. I can play them on the Evo, but only using astro and clicking on them. They will NOT show up in gallery at all. On the hero Gallery was called photos so not sure if that is issue. 1 video out of 15 show in gallery and I placed them all in the same folder. Again, what is going on?
Thanks in advance,

to solve your ringtones issue, make a ringtones folder on the sdcard. put whatever you want in there. don't go sticking them inside the folder made by ringdroid. you can do the same thing with a notifications folder and an alarms folder.
not sure about the gallery thing. i made a folder on my sdcard called movies, and i just navigate there with andexplorer. i never use the gallery for anything except photos, or videos i've actually captured with the phone itself.
I have done that and the rings nor notifications will show from phones menus. I can only see them when using astro. Now all my pictures are a no show in gallery. I guess its time for a hard reset unless others have input. I have unmounted sd card, removed, reinstalled, etc and the phone refuses to see pictures, or videos from gallery and it will not see ringtones in the SDcard/media/audio/ringtones folder except ones I create with ringdroid.
If I pull the card from the Evo and place in my hero, it works as expected.

[Q] New Media files not showing up in Gallery or Music Player.

Just found out this particular problem a few days back. When I add new pictures or music to my tablet either in the tablet or the external SD card, it is not showing up in the gallery or the music player. The files however are there when i use a file explorer to view them. The images can be opened with the gallery or any other image app. Music files can be browsed using a file explorer and played with the stock music player or any other music player app. But it just doesn't show up in the gallery or Music player list.
I've tried refreshing the music library, have formatted my SD card but to no avail. Someone suggested to delete the .no media extension from the music player file, but that didn't helped too.
Any suggestions to this problem?
I had the same problem. You can try to delete the cache in settings/apps this should help.
However I found out the stock gallery sometimes takes VERY long to update pics on sd card. By very I am talking about probably hours.
Other gallery apps like "QuickPic" don't have that problem. You can try if quickpic works while stock gallery does not, then it is caused by the mentioned problem.

I tried deleting the cache, but it didn't work. So I flashed my device with the original stock rom. Only then was I able to get back everything. Thanks a lot for suggesting quickpix though. It's a wonderful app.
Try media fix from the market
I use fastreboot program, so that the gallery will refresh, OR you can try, go to settings>applications>manage applications>all then search for the gallery then tap on FORCE Stop, then try to open the gallery again, this should initiate the media scan. if all else fails, use quickpic app for pictures
If you have any trouble with media not showing up, clear the Media Storage data. Settings -> Applications -> All -> Media Storage -> Clear Data. It'll rescan everything properly after that.
Check for any hidden files called NOMEDIA
if put in a folder (no extension) the folder will not be indexed.
Useful if you dont want all the icons of an app indexed.

Gallery app doesn't show .jpg files, but .JPG

Hello everyone,
I am using G900F with Lolipop. I have realized that my saved photos from the web, which have .jpg extension, are not shown in the Gallery app. However, they do when I use ES File Explorer to rename the extension from .jpg to .JPG (upper case). In the mean time QuickPic shows both types just fine.
I love using stock apps, so I don't want to switch to 3rd party app like QuickPic. Does anyone have the same problem? How do you fix that? I would be grateful to know
first try to clear data of your gallery app and media storage .
or try to factory reset your phone it may works
Does clearing media storage clean up my data in internal storage (I have no SD card)? Just tried clean data of Gallery app but no difference noticed
Update: Did clear cache/data of Gallery app and Media Storage. After a reboot it showed the newly saved picture without the need to change extension. However, I tested by saving another picture, and it was still not automatically shown in Gallery I doubt a factory reset would do anything different >.<

Recently hidden videos still showing in Gallery

Sometimes I add videos (usually shows and movies) to watch on my S7 Edge. I put them in a folder called "Videos" in the root of the microSD.
However, Gallery keeps mixing those videos with my personal photography... Therefore, I decided to hide them by renaming the folder to ".Videos".
Unfortunately, they still show up in Gallery, except grey and unplayable. I tried deleting them in Gallery, and clearing the app data, but neither works. Please help.
Got a chance to reboot and they're gone...
