2.01 SD Card Issue

I've tried searching the forums and couldn't find anything, but on all other versions of android i've had my DCIM and Media folder on my sd card. Thats where my resources were, like my extra ringtones and pics. On Manup's last update (eclair v1.5 w\camera) my pics and ringtones from my DCIM and Media folder aren't available for use in my phone. Can anyone tell me if i'm doing something wrong or if this is a Eclair issue at the moment. I haven't heard of it being an eclair issue, but I figured maybe with the new framework, maybe you had to put it somewhere else on the SD card. Thanks in advance!

His rom is 2.1 and not 2.0.1, your sd might be the prob if you said you cant access or maybe you should try re-flashing the rom again to see if the issue continues. I used the came and have the camera folder on my sd.

Thanks for a quick reply Ace! I've reflashed twice already and when I take pics with the cam they show up in the DCIM but all my pics taken from the past and ones saved that have been sent to me wont show up in the gallery. The only ones that do are the ones i freshly take. I can actually hook my phone up to my Pc and see the newly taken pics next to the other ones but if i go to gallery it only shows the ones just taken. I tried going back to the latest cyanogen and they show up just fine along with the ones i just took.

[Q] Galllery begins missing photos

Hi everyone. I have a strange gallery problem on my Galaxy S. This is different than the old gallery corrupt database because i tried that method and doesn't work (deleting the cache, dbata). Gallery photos start missing. So if i download some photos from Zedge , Redwall they are shown in gallery but after a time, for example if i restart the phone they are missing. Also the images taken with camera dissapear on restart. This problem happends also on froyo or gingerbread roms, fs or ext 4, on different gallery versions. In a moment it appears and i cannot resolve this. I suppose it's a media scanner problem but what to delete, what to fix because i tried all the methods (except sd card format) and it doesn't work . Anyone has this problem ? Any ideea about other things that i can do ?

how many pics do you have ??
my GF has this problem with her spica, she has 1000's of pictures, thats why it takes so long to load them. perhaps this is the same for you ?

Certainly not 1000 lets say about 300 in different locations (camera, zedge, redwall, icons folder) right now i try to remove them and make a test to see if it works. Thanks.
EDITED: It seems that the problem is just on the internal sdcard, if i move all the photos to the external card they appear in gallery.

problem with gallery

I have a small issue. My gallery in my phone sometimes decides to multiply pictures.
I have around 300 pictures but then some days it shows at least 1600 pics and many multiples. A day later its back to normal.
Cognition 4.3 overstock rom.
Anyone have a clue on what's wrong?

Is there a reboot before it goes back to normal? It sounds almost like your gallery is picking up some photos being backed up to another location on your phone.

Install sgs tools on your phone
Go to scripts > clear thumb.db, restart phone before opening gallery again.
Walla

I had the same problem a while back. THe way I did it was go to:
(close gallery first)
settings
applications
manage applications
running
select: Media storage
and clear data.

Thanks guys, I did it. I havent had the issue yet but hopefully I wont.
That issue was kicking my butt. lol.
At least now I know. I wish there was a program that cleaned all the cache's out of all the programs.

This deletes all of your playlists and custom ringers.
I took my pics off of my external SD and never had this problem again.

Photos not showing up after taking pictures

ok i searched this issue but found nothing useful or helpful to fix this but every picture i take seems to dissappear after a few minutes and all i get is a gray triangle with an ! mark inside it for all pictures taken by the camera. anyone else have this issue?
im on bady boyz rom
rooted s-offed
h/k m8

No body is having issues with pictures not displaying correctly?? Im on ViperONEM8 rom but it did this on the stock rom and badboyz as well. must not be rom related but i dont know so sum one have any ideas what the issue is? thanks

Have you tried changing the storage location? Also, are you restoring your gallery each time you try a new ROM? You could have the folder hidden on accident and as you restore the gallery that folder becomes hidden again. See if you cannot find the photos another way, for example: Quickpic or ES File Browser.

thank you for helping.
unfortunately yes i did try changing the storage location, in the camera app i changed it to ext sdcard & phone storage both same issue. also i used the Xposed module "Downloads2SD" & "Pictures2SD" both to change the location but still same issue. as for restoring my gallery, no i dont restore it at all when installing new rom. unless somehow it automatically restores from my google account but i dont think it does.
I also have used Root Browser & ES File Explorer to look in every directory on phone and sdcard for the pictures and they cant be found anywhere.
thanks again for replying and trying to help appreciate it much. any other ideas tho?

What happens when you use a different camera app? If that doesn't work either I would suggest an RUU. If an RUU doesn't work I would suggest returning the phone.

still not working with other camera apps. im gonna try RUUing once and see if it still does it. i took a few pics today and all seemed fine until i went to view them later on then they were just displaying the gray triangle thing.. one pic was there and viewed fine one sec then the next its just like the others. i just looked in the gallery now and it shows the previews of these pics but i tap to open them and get the triangle again. its weird & really frustrating i took tons of great pics over the time with this phone and lost them all from this, except of course the stupid test shots ive taken of my wall or whatever pointless shots.. they seem to stay fine its just the important ones that wont.. aarrrghhh gonna RUU right now.
here is a screenshot of what displays for the pictures.. View attachment 2782818

come on isnt anybody having issues with pictures similiar at all?!
pictures i take sometimes show with parts of it having a section thats gray.. usually more then 50% of the pic is that way otherwise there is no pic just a black screen with the ! as shown in previous post here. can anyone please help me. ive lost a lot of important good pics due to this.
you all have always helped me with any issues ive had.. thanks for all that. and thanks for your help with this.

I am having the same issue i moved all my pictures to the external storage card to free up space but now the pics are in limbo i cant find them i just have the triangle where they use to be. the same thing holds true for apps

im beginning to suspect that KK write protection with the external sdcard is the culprit for this but im on viperonem8 and have tried the fixes i found that are suppose to fix the write protection issue and still having same issues. so anyone have any working fixes at all please let us know thanks

I am having the exact same issue and it is frustrating as hell. Especially when I get a great picture, then I go to show someone and it is ****ING GONE.. The only way that I can seem to save them if is when I take them, I immediately share them. After doing extensive research, I have narrowed it down to 2 possible issues.
1) The SD card is somehow corrupted, I purchased a 64GB SD card from eBay and I just recently read about an SD card scandal that was going on which could be the culprit. To test this, I am first going to try with a smaller card that I know works. If that doesn't work, I am going to have the pictures stored on the phone and see if that keeps them.
2) This problem really started to show itself after I downloaded an app called OneGallery, I don't really know if that has anything to do with it, or if it is completely coincidence. If replacing the SD card doesn't work, deleting this app will be the next step.
I love the phone too much to just turn it in or swap it out.

Problems with pictures in Galerie

Hi,
I have a problem with my pictures, when I take a picture, the picture I took is changed by a graphic image, and the picture is gone, see attachment. This started a week ago. I also cannot see any pictures in whatsapp, they are blur and when I click on the image it says that the picture is not saved in the media folder, I suspect I have a virus, but when I scan with
Doctor Norton, no virus is found!
Help!!!
