Gallery problems

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.

The 4.2.2 Gallery has an unknown bug... it bloats the memory... actually it wrongly addresses the size... Hence the painfully slow loading...

Download some other gallery

[Q] Problem | Facebook app

Im having a problem with the Facebook app on my G2 for a week now.
Every time im trying to luanch the app it goes black screen and seems to be stuck :|
I read some pepole having the same problem in the past , i tried to Clear cache and reinstall the app,nothing works.
Help? idea anyone?
Thx

Don't have an answer but that's strange. Perhaps you could try joining the beta or alpha group so you can get a different apk to try.

thx

same here, i am a beta and still black screen.

Gallery app keeps force closing

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??

[Q] Not able to rescan media

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).
Regards
Elo

Fixing permissions didn't help either.
