I have Milestone running CM7 RC3 latest build and it was working fine till last night . I wanted to update my dock using Launcherpro so browsed to gallery to change the custom dock and after that I opened gallery again and to my notice all my gallery pictures ( around 1200) has one picture assigned to all the 1200 pics. Last night it was the Androidiani Logo which took place all over my galllery , then i formatted my complete SD card and loaded all the pics again . And again as i tried using LP to select custom dock , the same thing repeated but this time it assigned a Flixie wallpaper to all my pictures.
But the weirdest thing is that , If I open gallery using Cm7 file manager , i can browse to all my pics , but not with the default gallery , i even tried downloading and trying with Quickpic , but it says there is no picture in your sdcard, is it mounted or not ?
Can anyone here solve the issue please , its giving me night mares , as i cant keep formatting my sdcard and loosing my apps and files again and again.
I had replied in the CM7 thread but what the heck...
look for files named .nomedia
Or try this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.studiokuma.nomedia
I just installed it , but it has no effect . Still one pic assigned to all the other pics
I replied on your post o. The cm7 thread too. I gueass I'll repost it here.
Try clearing the gallery's thumbnail cach. It's In /sdcard/android/data/com.cooliris..something, I think. Reboot your phone, and wait until the phone finishes scanning your sdcard, ghen open the gallery. If you have a lot of pics, it's going to take a while to rebuild the thumbnails.

Best option is to ditch Gallery3d and get QuickPic from market.
I just formatted my sdcard and reapplied the CM7 mod . So lets see if the same thing happens again , then i ll comment back. Thanks for the comments guys

So i've been using my mytouch 3g fine the past few weeks with cyanogen mod 5 but recently i flashed cyanogen mod 6 and i didnt like the progress on it yet so i did complete system wipe and i restored my nandroid backup of cyanmod5. The problem i noticed was that when i turn on my camera app (the default one) it works fine until you take a picture. after the picture is taken there should be a little preview box with the picture on the top right hand corner but it's just black there and when i press it nothing happens. so then i put my sd card in my computer and the picture didnt save either. So i downloaded two other camera apps FxCamera and cameramagic and both of them forceclosed when trying to save. so i go into my gallery and it crashes without even giving me the message. So im guessing this problem has to do with the gallery app right? and if so how can i fix it?
help please?
Hmmm.... Haven't had any problems with mine. Have u tried wiping and reflashing?

Which version of cm5 are you using? The first roms of the cm5.0.7-test series had problems with the camara previews. Make sure you are using the latest cm5.0.8.
Also you don't need to wipe prior to a nandroid =p
Hi all,
I have my brand new IS for a while. I had no problem with setting a custom ringtone or photos taken by cam. but a while ago (im not sure when or why) it starts to behave weird. the device doesn't see my music files anymore, i can not choose any custom ringtone. After running Music app, it says "No Music Found" but i can see the file is there( via Astro File Manager etc.).
Same thing happened for photos, too. after taking photos, i can't see them with Gallery app but i see they are in sdcard/DCIM/100MEDIA as usual?
Hope i could tell the problem, any help appreciated..
The apps seem very very bad at refreshing new data off the sdcard. I find unmounting/mounting does the trick.

Thanks for the repy but it doesn't work. Neither Unmount > Mount nor Disable Fast Boot>Unmount>Reboot . I can not see previous photos taken with phone even by the quick button at camera screen.
I can change ringtone by an external app like "Android Movie or Zedge etc." But after restarting the device, it selects default one that shipped with the phone and ignore my custom ringtones.. really weird..
Is a common problem in stock. I thought that making remounting the SD card and afterwards make a photo and than go to gallery should start the reindex. Than start your HTC music app. Should have everything in it by then.
Note: reindexing can take a little while.

Not working..
What i did: Unmount > Mount SDCard. Take a photo > Go to gallery. After a quick refreshing process, there's only latest photo. After a reboot, latest photo is gone, too. Yet no tracks in Music
Just a wild guess, maybe your sdcard is corrupted? FAT32 is very easy to get into such problem. Perhaps you can do a scandisk from a PC.

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.
I'm currently running icssgs 4.1 with devil 14.2
My problem is that I keep getting a few problems all my music tracks keep doubling and my picture gallery keeps getting blank copies yet nothing new has appeared in the folders I'd be so grateful if someone with a wider knowledge could help

Press your menu button and choose Manage Apps. From there find the Media Storage app, and select the Clear Data option. Reboot your phone, and the problem should be fixed

Yeah, it was a pretty common problem for most people flashing to early versions of ICS roms, I think its a one time fix though - so you won't see it happen as you flash any other ROMs.
Glad to help
Also noticed another problem. Using the stock camera as it saves to SD is fine but if you use a 3rd party camera in my case camera FX so as to save to emmc you can't delete pictures/videos, they will remove from gallery but not the card and will pop back up again in the gallery unless deleted through file explorer.

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
