it keeps cached photo in my Gallery, how can i stop it?
Cached from what?
Locate to the folder that contains the cached photos and create a new file called ".nomedia" (without the quotes) then restart the phone. This should remove them from the gallery.

Media server was eating my battery and beacuse of that I cleared data and force closed media storage and rebooted.
Now the gallery is showing the DCIM in memory card but doesnt show anything else. After a reboot it started showing whatsapp images folder (weird) but still no other pictures and I had many folders like Galaxy Gear folder, a folder for slow motion videos I recorded etc.
Tried clearing media storage data, gallery data, reboot. Still no luck. Downloaded quickpic and everything is showing in quickpic but I want to use the stock gallery. I am so confused right now..
EDIT: HOOAH finally!
Did another media storage clear data + gallery clear data + reboot, I realized scrolling through every photo in a folder in Quickpic made the folder visible in stock Gallery.
I scrolled through all my photos and videos in Quickpic, now they are all visible in Gallery.
Having a problem with the Gallery app, it's not showing all of my pictures. New, downloaded pics will show up. But, for example, I have 21 pictures, all jpg, in an album in the Pictures folder of my internal storage and only 13 of them show up in Gallery. Cleared Gallery data and cache, rescanned sdcard manually, rebooted, still nothing.
I installed the Quickpic app, and it won't read my pictures at all. It lists them under "hidden files" and only shows up if I manually click "view hidden files" in settings every time I open the app.
I also noticed Gallery won't play .gif files. They show up as stills.
Both of these problems occur on all roms I've tried, so it's not rom specific.
Any ideas how to fix? It's really annoying me.
In the Samsung native gallery app, it shows folders like whatsapp images which I don't want to see. Please advise how to hide it. Any help?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Place an empty file named .nomedia in the directory that you don't want to be visible in the gallery. If it's already in the gallery, then also rescan media afterward. Or simply reboot.
The .nomedia flag tells media scanner to ignore that directory.

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 >.<
I downloaded the gallery from the Play Store, but when I delete a photo does not disappear completely and it keeps appearing in my File Explorer, the only way to completely delete the photo is with a File Explorer.
Any gallery that does not bring me that problem?
