When I use a file manager to move photos from my dcim folder the thumbnails stay in my gallery. So I delete the .thumbnails folder and reboot. The spaces are still there, but the image placeholders are still there. This is a new problem with OTA 2.2. Anyone know of a fix?
I'm not sure what happened, but I was having trouble using my camera. It would close right after opening. I cleared my cache and uninstalled a few apps and rebooted and now my camera works and the files are out of my gallery. Weird, but at least it's fixed.
Hello,
Since this morning my phone doesn't see any media files. My sdcard is mounted and I can see all the files inside with a file manager. But when I open a media player it is telling me that there are no media files. Also in the ringtone menu I cannot see my custom ringtones which showed up fine until this morning. The same thing is happening in the gallery - no photos.
I tried restarting the phone - nothing happens. I have a program called rescan media, used it but still nothing. A have a nandroid backup from a week ago - I restored the backup, went into the default media player that comes with the stock rom, my albums were there, and then 2 minutes later i checked again - no music found. If I take a new picture with the camera and go to gallery I see only that new picture without my older ones, after a media rescan even this new photo disappears.

Check to see if you have a folder named ".nomedia" in your sdcard - this is used to control if a directory and it's subdirectories are visible in the media player.
Same for me,
Gallery dont found anything, but filemanager see everithing
I tried to change the SD, to un/reinstall gallery, update my CM7 rom, wipe cache but alwaysthe same problem...
When I use filemanager to open a picture, gallery load it in about 8seconds but cant see the other pics
Yes I had this .nomedia file in the root folder of my sdcard. I've read about this file and I know that it does that. But the most strange thing is I didn't create it It is dated from yesterday at 00:23. This has to be the work of some app.
Thank you for the help the problem is solved. And greetings from Bulgaria.
Unmount and mount again in the setting and hope it solve ur problem
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
thanks a lot
I un/re mounted SD in settings, and remouved the .nomedia file on sd root (don't know who created it....)
and my pictures are came back
thanks
I have a few questions re: the gallery that I'd love some help with.
1. Gallery doesn't update a folder if I move a picture using a file explorer (Astro or Root Explorer for example). If I reboot the phone then the picture shows up in the correct directory. I'm guessing that restarting the gallery app would do the same thing. Anyone else having this issue?
2. Is there a way to have the gallery only look to one location for pics? I hate how it always grabs every image on my SD Card. Especially if you have Bejeweled installed. It adds about 10 folders of images that I don't want to have to browse through. Is there another gallery app that would allow me to set this if the stock gallery doesn't work that way?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Also noticing that the Gallery just doesn't update frequently. I thought it did this every time you opened it, but I guess not. Is there a way to force programs to re-scan the SD card?
SDRescan in the market works perfectly... and if you want to keep the folder from being seen in the gallery, just add a blank text file to the folder and rename it .nomedia
Thanks odrecords. Both of those work perfectly.
stock gallery will grab images from any folder on your SD if you don't want your gallery to load em theres two ways when in gallery hit menu then show hide. this will do as it says and either load or not load certain folders. Other option is to place a period in front of the folder name u want hidden i.e. ".test". This will hide it from the Android system in general but not file explorers.
after flashing prerooted ROM 2.3.5 Official to my DHD every time i open music "No music Found" appears even the gallery never shows any photos
i tired to disable and re-enable the media scanner the same result always .
i also tried to re flash the ROM also same result
what should i try next ?????

go to your sdcard and find a file called .nomedia (starts with a dot and it's a hidden file, use root explorer or your computer), the file is located in the root folder of your sdcard, delete it, rescan your card for music and pics.

Hey guys. Ever since I returned to my Moto X Style and updated it to Nougat, I've wanted to go back to using the Google Camera. But it keeps giving me the error "Can't connect to camera" when I try to take a video with it. Stock Moto Camera works just fine for video recording, though.
The second issue is that I can't access the contents of DCIM on my PC. Only my Samsung SD card storage shows up, and when I navigate to the DCIM folder, all I see is this:

Some kind of weird encrypted(?) file? I don't have encryption enabled.
I can access the contents of DCIM just fine on my phone. The only way for me to transfer DCIM's contents to my PC is if I move them to another folder like Downloads and access them there.
I guess this is some weird permissions issue that Motorola forgot to resolve. Now, I've tried the following fix from this Reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQuestions/comments/451h0k/dcim_folder_shows_no_photos_on_computer/):
On your phone, using a file explorer (I used ES File Explorer, but any will do), create a new folder, e.g. DCIM2
Navigate to the DCIM folder, select all files and folders
Move everything to DCIM2
Delete the DCIM folder (or simply rename it to DCIM-old if you're paranoid, but no real need for this)
Rename DCIM2 to DCIM
Connect phone to PC via USB, enable MTP mode. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the DCIM folder.
Bam! All photos and videos and folders are there! ...and appears to be a permanent fix!

And it doesn't work. I still see the same weird "Camera" file even after creating and renaming a new DCIM folder. So I have no clue what's going on.
Now, as for the Google Camera crashing on the video recording screen. I've tried everything. Tried moving it from external to internal storage. Tried resetting the app, tried wiping the cache partition, tried removing all Camera permissions save for the Google Camera app, etc. The Camera app versions I tried were the May 2016 arm and September 2016 arm64 ones (4.4+ and 7.0+), as well as earlier versions. Dunno what's going on.
If it's a hardware issue, then why is the Moto camera the only app able to record video flawlessly? Did Motorola do something to the phone with the most recent update? Because I was able to record video just fine using Google Camera.
Any input?
Thanks. I'm non-rooted, bootloader-locked on stock Moto 7.0.
Maybe I'm missing some packages/core apps that are causing Google Camera to malfunction? I don't know which ones, though.
EDIT: Tried Open Camera and it works just fine. I can take videos with it and everything saves to the SD card, and I can access Open Camera's recordings and pictures from my PC. Everything Open Camera takes is saved to the DCIM folder in the Open Camera folder. But I still can't access the photos and recordings I took with the Moto Camera app.
