My gallery will display a random Album named "Untitled" with a picture I remember saving on my computer a long time ago, but didn't purposely move to my phone. Now.. when I format the SD card, this album still appears in the gallery.. any thoughts?
I've cleared the data for the Gallery App numerous times, and factory reset the phone as well.
Why is this happening?
EDIT:
OMFG ITS PICASA. FML
NVM.

SITUATION:
This is not the first time that happened to me. Suddenly, I see blank folder/thumbnails in my Gallery. Some photos won't show up, some photos are supposed to be from other folders, some shows a thumbnail but when clicked, a different photo comes up.
I thought this happened to me before as I was using ext4 for my ext. storage on my then Kang-o-Rama ROM. I tried switching to ext3, which was more stable and the problem was fixed. But suddenly, today, I noticed that this happened again. Only the gallery app / photos are affected and my whole system. My whole system is running smoothly. I wouldn't want to think its my SD card because it is localized in the viewing photos. And almost all my apps run from the SD.
I'm using an Enomther-based ROM, MicroMod, and I never had problems before today.
Anyone else experienced this or any thoughts?

You been moving files around on the SD card without remounting or rescanning the disk? Try a tool to rescan the media, I use this one:

If that fails, there is a thumbnails file on the disk you might try deleting.

The Rescanning apps didn't work.
Deleting the sdcard/android/data/com.cooliris.media/cache solved the problem! Yay!

Thank you very much.
This fix worked perfectly for me when my Gallery thumbnails became corrupted.
Has anyone noticed this bug with JPY?:
When you first boot and open Gallery it is super fast with all the thumbnails preloaded. After a couple of hours when you open it again it says "Loading images" and re caches the thumbnails again taking some time. This is especially evident in folders with a lot of images. It would be ok for an hour and then bam! Loading images slowly when i open it again.
Clicking on a folder opens it with the first four pics showing and then scrolling you have to wait a few seconds for the thumbnails to appear whereas when it initially booted all the thumbnails were already there. Its like it deletes the thumbnails after a while and has to generate them again which takes some time especially if you have a lot of folders and pics.
Is this normal, I don't remember this in my old firmware? Its the only thing that is bugging me. Maybe they force close Gallery after a certain time avoid the sensor draining bug that was there with the previous firmware?
Can you please check a see if yours is the same so i dont have to do a factory reset
you can download SGS tools from the markup and upgrade your gallary app.. that's what i did and i don't have any problems with the gallery anymore..
goodluck
The gallery app in SGS tool is not compatible with JPY because of the new feature of selecting wall paper for lock screen. I gave it a try but it would force close everytime i wanted to select a wallpaper.

Absolutely the same and even more.... I have my picasa account connected to the gallery too, after an hour mainly picassa the gallery crashes - black screen, but no force close. Actually this one, the battery (not 100% after disconnecting) and the contacts app not closing, made me go back to JPP.

The contacts bug can be solved by uninstalling the task manager's update.

Yes, go to manage applications, find it and click uninstall updates to go to the previous version, and the contacts app will be ok.
im having an issue that when you plug in to charge phone is unresponsive... anyone else notice.. not a big deal as i charge batteries in external chargers.. but????
I wouldn't say perfect but it's the best stock firmware yet.

i have a HTC Incredible S unbranded . For the last couple of days i have noticed that some of the pics that i download or take using the camera are not visible in the Gallery app of the phone. The same happens with some mp3 files which i have copied on the SD Card.
These files are visible when viewed in a file manager like Astro or OI File Manager.
If i reboot the phone couple of times or do a factory reset these files reappear in the Gallery and the HTC Music App , but only for a few days.
Is my SD Card corrupt or is there a fix for this?
I just noticed the same over the weekend. Some pics I took Friday do not show in gallery but I can find them through ES File Explorer...
This used to happen to me, just unmount and remount the SD Card and they'll reappear. Hasn't happened yet since the OTA to Gingerbread.
I unmounted and remounted the SD Card and its fine for the moment. Just waiting for the 2.3.3 update to hit India.
I've been updated to Gingerbread now since it was released in the UK, this is the standard OTA update.
I've also just noticed in the last week that some recent photos I took at the weekend are not showing up in Gallery. If I reboot the phone they appear again (for a while), clearing the cache/data in the app manager doesn't work. Even after rebooting to make them appear, they have disappeared again after a day.
When I open the Gallery program, the rotating 'refresh' icon is present, but some photos just don't appear in there.
I can find and open the photos using a File Explorer (Speed Software's Explorer v1.0), just not with the Gallery app.
I downloaded FxCamera last week, I wonder if this has caused some sort of corruption as it couldn't open the Gallery from inside the app...? I just uninstalled it and have rebooted my phone, I'll see if this fixes the problem.
Any other ideas anyone?
well after the gingerbread update , the pictures and the mp3's disappeared once. Did the unmount and remount thingie and it has reappeared. Also Wifi is now broken.
I noticed that for some wallpapers
not showing on Gallery.

To quote myself and report back on my findings, after I uninstalled FxCamera, I haven't lost any of my files in Gallery again. So I blame that app for my problems with missing images!
(If you don't have that installed but are still seeing the issue, then it must be something else on your device... (obviously!))
Cheers.
Certainly seems like an issue with some app interfering here.
No problem with my IS before or after 2.3.3 update.
i suggest you try with all stock apps (camera, music & pictures related) for a few days & see if this solves your issue.

The best place to start is wth a bit more info. We wont know how to help until we know how you got here.
What ROM are you running?
What base firmware?
Has the phone always done this or only started recently?
Are there any pop-up error messages when gallery closes?
Have you tried clearing the cache ad data from the gallery app?
Can a third party gallery app (like QuickPic) access your photos?
Have you tried backing up your SD card contents and re-formatting the SD card?
Running stock with latest int firmware
It started last week, never had such issue before
No FCs or any other popups
clearing the cache ad data from the gallery app did not work
a third party gallery app works fine
I think the only other thing to try is to wipe the device clean & start over
I appreciate your support
Anytime I try to delete a photo, it reappears within a pretty short window or after reboot in my gallery. I have tried clearing data/cache for the gallery app, rebooting immediately afterwards, and this issue persists. Anyone else having this issue, or have any idea how to stop it? It also seems that when I try to move photos into different folders (on the SD card) they never show up in their new destination.
