For the life of me I can't get the gallery to refresh after I add pictures to my pictures folder. Am I missing something or is this yet another bug?

Took me 2 days to get some imported cam pics to show up.
Try killing the gallery in the task manager. Also try rebooting.
Android gallery has always been crap if not for picasa integration it would be totally useless. Try quick pic. Ugly but very functional.
Thanks..... I tried killing with task manager but no go.
Maybe I should just use Picasso... good lord.
I tried 3d gallery and it wont display correctly at all. Ill check out that apple you mentioned.

Quick pick will work great for me. Thanks again.
Is there any app to view JUST Picasso pics that you know of?
*edit* Picasso tool works, but osmotic made for tab.. either way better than the pic delay of the stock gallery.

Did you copy it from pc to tablet or form different location on your tablet to gallery folder?
If the second option don't use any file managers from the market. Instead use file manager that is included in touchwiz.
Don't know why but all other file managers don't move cache when moving photos.

I did not use the stock file explorer, I used file explorer HD and in this case copied from SD card to the pictures folder.
Ya know, I like the idea of using qucik pic and picassa tool. I can upload to picassa from quick pic and when viewing I can use picassa tool, gallery, web , etc...
With quick pic I can easily hide or remove folders so I don't have this cluster of unwanted pics
I just demo ed the gallery from my media folder all together.
Kind of lame but it is what it is. ...

Use stock explorer and you will notice that there is no problem with photos. Don't know why but I didn't have this problem on transformer.. Weird

Android uses an internal database to remember multi-media files (pics, music and video) so that built-in apps like Gallery, Music and Video players can show them regardless which folder they are located. If you copied any such type of files to the tab using 3rd party tools that does not trigger media scanning, those files will never show up in these apps until next time media scanning runs.
On my Samsung Galaxy S phone, such media scanning is done everytime you power up the phone or disconnect the USB connection in mass storage mode. It is a slow and painful process on the phone.
On my GT 10.1, this process has been some what improved mainly because there is no USB mass storage mode. The default MTP mode will automatically update the database when file transfer occurs. The built-in File Explore can also properly update the database. But if you use 3rd party tool, chances are they will never trigger a media scanning process.
It doesn't matter which folder you copied your pictures into.

Don't want to sound like I'm shooting the messenger here... But... that sucks.
Really, I already have too many options to "open with". The last thing I want to do is remember to use the original file explorer to deal with pictures.
I'm really started to be reminded of a certain apple product... you need an app for that.
If someone just streamlined all the apps to work as one they'd have my money.
In any event thanks for your reply....
Media scanning is part of Android OS design. This is poorly designed and poorly implemented, IMO. On my phone, everytime I power up the phone, it renders my phone unresponsive for a minute or two (depending on how many files and whether or not I have an external SD card). The scanning process needs to scan the entire file system to make sure every media file is indexed in the database.
FWIW I worked around this issue with one of the random market apps for SD updating. There's a number that work, basically it just initiates a refresh manually. Alternately you can plug it into your PC with USB and then unplug it.
Got the name of any of those apps?
I realized you can't change the lock screen from anything but the stock gallery.....

SDRescan, one of the oldest, still usefull apps in the market.
Rescan Media, pretty much the same app with a nicer icon and an auto quit option.
How do you disable camera sound for SG3?
It depends what ROM you are on. For android 2.1/2.2 ROMs you can put your phone on silent and it will mute the camera shutter or I think you can also mute it from within the camera apps settings. For CM7/android 2.3 ROMs go to settings, cyanogenmod settings, sound and mute camera shutter.
Click thanks if I helped.

You have to rename the audio file located
System\media\audio\ui
Named
VideoRecord.ogg to VideoRecord.bak or just delete. I prefer to rename but whatever you do will remove that awful noise.
Hmm thats not it. Ill search around a bit more.

Changed it but no change. Couldn't find any others to change.
I used Tasker app to get rid of the video button sound. When the camera app is launched, the phone goes into silent mode, then turns off silent mode when the camera closes. It was my first time using Tasker, so there may be a better way, but it works.
Hi,
short question.
If i open the camera and take photos etc. i can open the gallery from the camera app. but is it possible to only show photos from "DCIM" folder there?
I hate seeing every whatsapp image in the camera app.
thanks in advance
Create an empty file called ".nomedia" inside the whatsapp image folder. That file will prevent the images from showing up in your gallery app.
There are other galleries out there that are pretty good, and group the pictures in folders.
I use F-Stop as my default gallery... You can hide folders/albums by simply long-press > Hide . "QuickPic" is good, "A+ Gallery Photos & Video" is good, "Piktures" is also good.
I'm sure there are other really good ones too, but those are the ones I typically rotate between, and have for a few years. As mentioned, right now I like F-Stop the best. Some are free, some cost to unlock "features".
Or do as the post above me mentioned with the .nomedia in that particular folder.
