Hmm...It's not necessary that a media scan should be done every time you delete a file.
The gallery should load your pics just fine.
I'm not sure why this is happening. Please check if you get this bug again!
I too had this problem when I was on the SGSII ROM.
There is an app on Google Play called Rescan Media ROOT which will do the same thing for you. Everytime you need to refresh the Gallery/Music/Videos, use this app.
I find this solution better for the Galaxy Ace, because the Media Scanner is very CPU-intensive.

Hi,
here is my problem:
When I take a photo, quit the Camera and open my Gallery I can't see the picture I took.
When I reboot the phone and media scan is performed I the picture appears in the Gallery.
Is this normal? Is there anything I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
You should try to use the image review to check first

Thanks, but maybe I was not clear: how can I force the phone to put the camera pictures to the gallery immediately?
If i remember right I had to go into the dcim folder in gallery view and back to show the tumbnails ins gallery.
Anyway, with my current firmware jm7 this behavior has gone.
Tumbnails show up instantly.

Are you using a task killer? Is it possible that you're killing something called 'media storage' or something like that?
I thought this only happened with music and videos. My pictures are added into the gallery automatically. Maybe your gallery is bugged. Try rebooting.
Edit: You could download "Rescan Media" from the market to rescan media at will. Or you could unmount then remount the storage where your media is stored.
This happens to me too; but just closing the Gallery and reopening it works for me.
Thanks for every one of you, guys! I've tried almost everything, even reboot didn't help.
But here is what solved my problem (may help somebody): I went into Menu Setting/Applications/Manage applications/Gallery and cleared its data. Since then the Gallery works fine.
I think CFLagFix 1.8 made some mix-up with the photo dates, and this caused the problem....
The firmware is: JM1/JM2
'Rescan Media' is exactly what I was looking for earlier, so I keep it anyway.
Thanks again!
So basically when using any of the Jelly Bean roms, my music and pictures on my internal storage are not being scanned to show up in their appropriate apps. I have tried all the solutions I have found on other threads but none of them have worked. I know a few people have this problem and I would appreciate it if someone could help as this is the only problem I am having using the Jelly Bean roms.
Solutions I have tried:
Clearing storage media data
Installing other JB roms
Installing different kernals
Mounting SD and emmc in recovery
Factory/Data reset (all JB roms)
Fix Permissions
I usually don't have any problems I can't fix on my own with my experience with Android over the years, but this is the only problem I can't seem to fix.
Help.

This happens in ICS Roms as well (if you perform a clean install), my guess is that you'll just have to wait it out. The Media Scanner should have started automatically once you've finished setting up your phone. Give it a good 30 minutes to scan your stuff and it should show up. Otherwise, try downloading one of the media scanning apps from market (e.g. "Rescan Media") and see if it does the trick.
I know, it is pretty frustrating.
What I noticed is that picasa/google photos sync fine. Those are the only photo albums that show up in my gallery.
But if you take a picture with the camera that picture will show up. Weirdly enough, downloading a photo from the browser doesn't show up.
I have had no luck with any music. Even adding new music via USB doesn't seem to show up either.
It is the only real thing that's keeping me from using Jelly Bean as my daily. If a month or so passes by and Jelly Bean is still not on the Nexus S, I might just do a full wipe and start from scratch. But fingers crossed that Google can step up and get Jelly Bean working as well as on the Galaxy Nexus.
Those who are having issues - does the media process also eat 100% CPU?
Starting to seem like a common problem across all devices with JB...
While mediascanner going nuts is a long standing problem dating back to at least Froyo - it seems FAR more common in JB.
Turns out Google made some significant changes to mediascanner... It no longer caches a bunch of stuff, which kills performance when scanning.
Even if a directory has no actual media files, or has a .nomedia file, it'll scan the entire goddamned directory. One example is that if you have Parallel Kingdom installed, it will sit on the PK directory for 10-20 minutes!
up... any news? This is the only problem JB gives me...!
i had the same issue and i did backup of all my data to my computer after i format sd partition and now it works normal
See my thread about Media Scanner:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801378
There is definitely something amiss with Media Scanner on JB.
Having exactly the same problem with Elite JB..
is there any solution out there? (I read something about .nomedia file, but I don't really know how to do it)

This is the solution I found. I think from ics apps doesn't get turned off even though you press back button. Thus what's happening is that after rescan media is turned on initially, it scans media. After scan is done app doesn't get shut down thus reopening app just opens the app to its previous state wheb scan was complete.
So what you have to do is hit multitask button, close rescan media app by dragging then re open rescan media. It will open fresh and will scan media.
X-Bean ROM scans my media without problems.

Just a wild guess here....
I have a sensation with the newest CM10 JB beta build. I too was having trouble with seeing images in my gallery. Turned out that their is a problem with ROM Manager....so after i deleted it, ALLLLLL the imaged started popping up in my gallery.
Just something to try......
Follow this guide, it works for me; http://ishan-thecholeric.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/solve-media-scanner-problem-on-your.html?m=1
Install QuickPic to view all the images the gallery doesn't pick up.

Has anyone tried the fix I linked above yet?
It works perfectly for me. It keeps media storage running as normal. It only disables the media scanner service that the problem is coming from. Then simply use 3rd party apps like QuickPic to view all the media instead.
I had the same problem but since I installed JRO03L 4.1.1 BETA 9R2 my problem was solved. I haven't had any problem since then. You can try install this ROM...
follow this :good:
The same for my SGS with CM10 latest nightly.
Pics and music do not show up in stock gallery and music player.
Media scanning service keeps restarting.
I aslo tried every solution in the first post but no effect at all.
3rd party app like QuickPic does the job for me, though I have not found some app to play music...
Other than the problem above and lag caused by google search, Jelly Bean is quite smooth on my phone.
Hope someone find the solution...
A temporary fix:
1. Get Nextapp's FX file explorer.
2. Go to the folders with media in it.
3. Tools, rescan media.
The issue with my phone was camera360. Once I froze all 360 files my media scan worked normally.

After u delete all the 360 files, your media scan worked normally even for music? Not just photos?

Media is media, no matter how small.
I'm running ICS and this problem has never happened before. For some unknown reason I've noticed that media storage is always running in the background making the CPU run at max clock all the time, which is killing my battery.
I think it might be unable to scan everything for some reason as quite alot of my photos are missing from my gallery.
Clearing the data of media storage stops it running, but I lose all the photos from the gallery and all notifications. I can use an app called Scanmedia to get all the notifications back, and only some of the photos for some reason. But media storage continues to run in background draining my battery.
Like I said earlier I think it might be a scanning bug. Unable to scan all media, so it doesn't stop scanning. That's just my guess though.
How can I fix this?
I deleted all .nomedia files on my sd card. It hasn't fixed the problem...

Its because you have .nomedia files on some large folders that the media scanner will be busy checking them till its finished, so deleting them will only make it worse.
I think the only way to permanently fix the problem is by re-flashing the rom from scratch.
I managed to find a reasonably good fix anyway. I installed startup manager and disabled storage media. Which only disables the media scanner service and keeps the rest of it running, which is needed for downloading apps from the Play Store, etc.
I also installed QuickPic to be able to find/view all my images and videos. Thanks to the media scanner bug the default gallery could only find a small selection of my images.

I've never had the problem before.
Hi guys, I've been encountering very annoying issue with the Media Scanner in my phone:
My newly added media doesn't appear in the Music app nor my Gallery app. This issue happened especially to all my mp4 videos in my external SD; they didnt appear in the Videos app nor the Gallery app. Now my newly added music doesnt even appear in there as well.
The android.process.media force closes all the time too.
I've tried clearing the Media Storage file in the settings, installed most of the apps that force the media scanner service, but to no avail. I've even cleared all my android data in my internal and external SDs.
Any solutions? Thanks!

I'll try, but I'm skeptical that it will work, I think the problem lies beyond the media scanner service.
:/ Didn't work. I'll try to search around. I suspect one of my media files is crashing the service, as when media scanner is running, the media.process.android will force close a few minutes after.
worth installing the ICS rom over it again

Indeed! Installed the leaked Jellybean ROM, and everything was ok! The default gallery Media Scanner is troublesome..
Thanks for your help!
Hi guyz!
I have a galaxy mini (stock)
My music player app (stock) does not get auto-updated and as you may know there is no way of refreshing the list or updating it manually.
Whenever I add or delete my songs in the device the music app does not show the added ones nor remove the deleted ones :banghead: :crying:
I have to play them all from my folder and they can't be played in background therefore causing me loads of problem
And the same goes with my picture gallery (gallery ics).
I have searched a lot for solutions but found none of them working except of ofcourse reflashing ..
But I don't want to reflash.
So plzzzzz if you guyz know any work around then tell me plz :crying:
Note: the songs and pics are in the external sd card..

Something wrong with the media scanner. I cannot point out what.....
I think its better you flash it.

try this,
clear data and cache of the music app and gallery..
and from /sdcard/DCIM folder delete ".thumbnails" folder...
and then launch gallery..
it will take a bit more time to display all pics as it will generate thumbnails of all pics...
