Hi all. I have a problem, all of my photos just dissapered from stock Gallery app (Camera, WhatsApp, Screenshot, Viber...). I tried cleaning Gallery data, restarting phone,... - nothing works. Not even Google Photos can see stored photos.
Side note: Photos are not deleted, I can see and open them via My Files app. Also, there is no .nomedia file in any of Camera, WhatsApp,... folder.
Any ideas?

Please read my post. Also can you think of what you might have done to produce this?

Thanks for replay, just tried "Media Re.Scan" - no luck, Gallery is still empty, even after restart. :/ "QuickPic" for some reason works.
Hmmm, I have no idea. I was playing with Camera, trying out Burst mode. After I deleted burst Gallery went crazy.
I thought I had the same issue but when I sort my gallery by time, my pictures show up. If I change back to Album, they disappear again.

Did you remove the .nomedia files. Try restarting then running the media scan.
Oh I just remembered, for some reason I had to also cut and paste the photos to a new folder. That was the step I missed. So after;
1. Deleting .nomedia files in the folders you want appearing in the gallery (make sure hidden files are shown)
2. Restart phone
3. Run media Re.scan
4. Create a folder within the DCIM folder or which ever folder your pics are located and cut and pate pictures to the new folder.
5. Photos should appear. If not restart and media scan again.
It's not that this particular order is what rectified my problem. It just happens that I performed them in that particular order. So it's hard to say which exact steps are necessary
Please let me know how you go.

Mine is always empty, regardless of sorting.
@ih8un
Still nothing.
I double checked for .nomedia files, also, "QuickPic" is showing photos just fine.
Thing is new photos do show up in Gallery (Camera, Screenshot...) but old ones won't.
Bump
Sorry I have to bump this thread because I'm having the exact same issue! Is there anyone that can help?! I would just disable gallery app as quick pic interface looks better, but most of the other apps are linked to the gallery app like the camera preview picture button and whatsapp take a picture function!
Have you used package disabler?

Hi All,
I'm having a similar problem, in that the first few pictures show up, but the rest are just black.
It happens in Instagram, Google Drive, Dropbox etc...
How do I do the Media Re.scan? Also, how do i enable CMH Provider?
I'm not rooted

Hi.
This is my first post and my first problem xDD.
I was using Quickpic to open pics. I used to hide some folders of aplications because i wanted to see only my own albums. Everything was fine till yesterday. Suddenly no pics appear in the device when i use any photo app. But if i use a file manager app, there they are... And most strange thing is that when i choose one pic of the device and choose the app to open it, it takes a lot of time to open. Dont care the program i use. Dont care the format of the pic. Dont care the ubication of the pic. It takes about ten seconds to open it.
I dont know what to do.
I have a rom installed (Criskelo 30; with the 25 version i had the same problem).
I de-installed all apps of pics except the Gallery. I cleanned cache and data with Titanium. I made wipe cache and wipe Dalvik.
Can someone help me?
Thx.

Solved.
Perhaps i made something to the photo files, that changed the attributes, but i found an option using File Expert, that let me "mark as initial position" all the files. After this, all my pics appeared in the photo viewers i use.
Byeeee.
Have you been on pronhub?

Hey my friends,
Played around with my one and found a file named "Demo.apk" and installed it.. Watched the fancy movie.. and I just realized that all my apps are gone..
So be carefull..

What was the video like?
Bit strange how your apps have gone? Can you enlighten, is it all apps? Or Play Store Apps, or HTC Apps .. .. if HTC Apps a hard reset may bring them back?
Now you said this will be interesting to see how many people try it for themselves. . . lol
Could it be the demo video for in-store display?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I added a warning in the app section long ago,I installed it on my OneX and it erased both messages and phonebook to replace them with fake ones
So where does this demo.apk come from? Did you download it?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
The file is stored in /system/demoflo/
And was allready on my phone.
It was some introducing to the phone, with following links/information to the HTC zoe, boom and stuff..
All Apps, installed with the store AND manual installed with apk are gone, also messages.. and there were fake contacts and apointments in Phonebook and Calendar..

Restart
Are the apps also gone after restarting the phone?
jepp, all apps are gone even after a restart..
Can the apk be deleted? I'd hate to accidentally install it! What were HTC thinking?! Is that path only accessible with root?
No root here, and not possible to delete it :/

So it's a handy app to use to display the phone in stores. Users could go out of their mind, install apps and rerunning the app would clear the phone.
Just to make sure. It didn't remove the original apps that came with your phone right? So, just do a factory reset and set up your accounts again. Good luck and thanks for the tip.... (Although I have an almighty urge to run that app now lol)
LOL
i did this after a couple of days of getting my ONE just how i like it..
i wasnt too pleased but hey if your gonna go digging expect to fall into a hole now and again.. LOL
HTC have a mini website about this file giving shop staff a kind of prep talk "your perfect pitch is just a few steps away"
i wont do this again..

What is your Rom version?
I had done this as well, two days after I got the phone, you can only get to the demo.apk by using a file explorer that lets you get to the root of the file system, rootexploer does this by default and esfile explorer can be set to go up to root.
For anyone that has done this have you noticed the phone randomly resetting itself and the WiFi crashing (won't connect to access points and wifi setting are unresponsive) requiring a reset to re enable it? My phone is doing this and I'm not sure if I have a faulty phone or if its because I powered the phone down when I noticed it complaining about too many calendar deletes at once as the demo app was running.

I think that Demo is for shop demo purpose. It will delete some app and play some random video and delete lots profile. E.g Contact, message thread. The only way to recover is to do Factory reset
Hmmm just wondering why did you even install the app located in the system partition? lol Just makes me wonder I haven't really encountered someone who installs apk inside the system partition
Demo sucks except you want to test the game so badly. haha
Took a few pics yesterday and I restored my nandroid from a few days ago. Now all the pictures are gone from my gallery BUT I can still see them in my file explorer. How do I get the pictures to appear again in the Gallery?! Thanks!!

hehe either, you got me, I would move to another directory and see if it scans the new dir.
copy will also work, then make sure it see 's your new dir, then delete the other.

Still hasn't found them? what the heck is going on, go into gallery settings and manually add the directory, it will force the directory to be scanned then.

Hi,
I have around 1600 photos and some videos taken by my S4 saved in the external card now. I noticed that my default gallery app becomes really slow when I click the 'camera' folder containing those 1600+ items. If I click other folders in the gallery (which has less photos, may be around 200) the respond is quick.
Does anyone else experiencing the same?
My S4 is now using the latest firmware, not rooted and all just by default.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

The thing is....when you have 1600+ items in one folder....your gallery needs to generate 1600+ thumbnails.....this is a very slow process since there are so many files....best thing to do is move files into other folders....I mean make come folders with categories so that there arr not more than 200-300 files in one folder....this will speed up your gallery again....hopefully this helped you

If this only happened for one time yes it does make sense but it happens everytime I try to go to camera folder. I don't think android needs to create thumbnail everytime. It should be in the cache already and I didn't delete the cache at all.

Search for Quick Connect in Settings and enable Quick Connect Panel from the app settings, Quick Connect will be available when you pull down notifications bar. Turn on tv, enter quick connect, phone will scan and will find it. After you can view phone on tv and viceversa + other options. I`m on stock rom, don`t know about the rooting problem. Also using Samsung KU6472 smart tv.
Hope it helps.
