Anyone else experience this problem with their 2.03 rom? I can flicker the pics up and down on TF3D just fine, but when i go into ALBUM, the circular loading thingy to the top right just stop. When this happen, the whole touch screen froze and I had to hit the home hardware key to get out of it. Anyone know what the problem might be?
Yep, too many photos in your album...
... you need to move some of them to a folder OTHER than the \My Documents\My Pictures or \Internal Storage\My Documents\My Pictures folders.
Once I did that I had no problems at all.
So I loaded Serendipity today. Master cleared and everything. So I was really surprised to find old pictures on my phone when I opened the gallery app. And strangely it wouldn't let me delete them. Hmm. So I looked in the sd folders, dcim etc. Cannot find these pics anywhere! The gallery app did tell me the file names So I loaded up root explorer and ran a search... NOTHING!
These pics show in my gallery but I can't find the files anywhere. Where are they hiding?

Went into the stetting, manage applications, to the gallery app and hit clear data, and these strange photos vanished! Still don't know where they were. but they are gone now. Would loveto hear where they were stored if anyone knows...
Spoke too soon! So after a reboot, the folder of pics comes back! If I clear the gallery app's data, it vanishes again, but returns after every reboot. Can anyone help with this?
Is it a stack of thumbnails (separate folder path) or viewable image files? If you have external SD maybe browse it on a PC.
It still there with no external SD, and I can't find it from the PC or root explorer.
You, know, I have a blog, and these all seem to be photos on my blog. And blogger seems to be hooked to Picasa Web albums. So I'm thinking Gallery pulls pulls the contents of my Picasa Web album down to the phone... could this be? Can it be stopped?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you have them linked then yes that is where they are comming from and why they keep comming back. The only way to stop it would be to but a no media file in the target folder, back draw is that the file will hide it from all Android apps that look for media
Each time I move pics.from one folder to another) say from DCM to Pictures, I get duplicated photos into album.
In case of duplicated pics, having a look at properties, one seems to be into "storage/emulated/0/pictures" and the other into "storage/emulated/legacy/pictures"
I tried clearing cache, deleting data or forcing media rescan, with no avail.
Quickpic does not have this problem.
Hi,
For months I thought that many of the pictures in the Downloads folder in the Gallery app were corrupt, but when I checked on the file names I realised they're just non-picture/video files (such as music, text, pdf, etc.) showing up there. They display as a grey background with an encircled exclamation mark. Why are these files showing up in Gallery, and how can I stop it from happening?
Thank you
Hi all. This morning out of the blue my M31 is not showing any picture or video in the gallery, and so does every other app (FB, Instagram, Snapseed, Google Photos). The files are in the same folders and they're not hidden. I tried restarting, deleting the gallery data but nothing.
Only thing I cannot do is delete the data of the media scan system app.
Any help?
Edit: it looks like that's the only system app on which I can't do anything. Is there a way to reset it via adb or similar?
