Media doens't update!

Ok it's getting annoying for me now. i put some songs, some wallapapers on my sd. but when i'm going to gallery it doens't show up there, even if i removed a image it still there in thumbnail (not the picture itself, so doensn't load). Ok now i want to listen music but they don't show up.
What did i try:
1. Reboot: i tried rebooting couple of time no luck.
2. ES explorer: the images/music is there i can see them. opening a picture shows black screen i have ot wait a long time to make them show up, and if they do i can't do anything with them. For music i can play them by selecting them but no info shows up, it just plays.
3. reload sd card: i reloaded so many times the sd card.
4. different gallery app: i tried other gallery apps but no luck.
Ok what's weird any change doing with the shows up like taking picture. moving a image makes it show up in the gallery. But when i try it from the pc it doesn't show up i didn't try a wipe and don't wan't to do a wipe.
I'm using CM5.0.8T5 with Froyo Radio
Does anyone know what i can do?

I have the same issue with my N1. I got a bigger SD card and decided to put music on my card. When I went into the music app it only listed like 10 of the 2 hundred songs I had put on (which I'm sure un-coincidentally were the songs I had on my old SD card). I tried restarts, I tried removing the SD and reinserting hoping it would re-read. My best guess it's a caching issue, but I'm not really sure. I tried resyncing with DoubleTwist (I'm on a Mac) and the ironic part is my music app detected the new songs, but the DoubleTwist app still only detected the old 10 songs.
Also when I take pics with the camera they sometimes takes a few minutes to even appear in the gallery app, to view them in the meantime I have to go into the camera app and click on the preview icon.
I'm with you on this one... is there any answer to this?

i just noticed this too started the other day, but though nothing of it until i saw this thread.

Now you got ME thinking...

Try app ScanMedia http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-humanrobot-scanmedia-DAAz.aspx

Thnx just tried it but no luck
I forgot to mention i have a 16GB Sd card.

I just last night had a similar issue with songs stored on my 16GB SD card.... I added a bunch, and they didn't change. I changed ID3 tags on others, and they also didn't change. I tried pretty much every suggestion I could find.
How did I finally fix it?
I moved all the songs out of their subfolders and into a new "MUZAK" folder on the root of the SD card. I also deleted all the hidden (.prefix) folders on the SD card that I thought might have anything to do with storing information on the tracks on the card, and also deleted all the data files for the stock and third-party media players on the internal storage. Rebooted, and it seems to have picked up all the tracks. Of course, if I add to it, it probably will fail again...
But this is apparently a well-known issue with the Android Media Scanner service.... it just quits working. It apparently takes some drastic stuff to make it work again.
edit: As a followup, I added a few albums to the SD card and they populated correctly. It'll be interesting to see how long this behavior lasts...

Thnx changing the name worked, don't know for how long.
some songs still miss id3tag even if they are there

Ok just Wipe cache in recovery and media update works again.

SDRescan from the market always works for me.

I should never wiped the cache.. my super duper batterylife got fecked. Horrible.. Arrrrgh!!! down to 74% after 4 hours..

[Q] CM6 gallery issues

I am having issues with the gallery in CM6 RC1. The gallery opens, but will only display pictures taken witht he camera since I installed this ROM. Is there a way to specify filepaths for the gallery to look in to find all of my other images? I have searched quite a bit for a solution, haven't seen this topic come up for anyone else. I'm not a dev, but can follow directions pretty well. Any help would be appreciated.

Just reboot the phone, that's what I did.

I've rebooted several times, also wiped the phone and reflashed everything. I installed a 2d version of the gallery, with the same result. Some of my albums also fail to show up in any music player...I can play them through file explorer, but can't even see them in the players. When I flash back to DD2.7 or 2.8, the files show back up where they should be.

try going into dev tools and start the media scanner... worth a shot

The media scanner didn't help, I had run that a few times already. Thanks though.

Try finding another program to edit photos, open and save them. I had a simular problem with my music, and went through all the songs with an mp3 tag editor doing that, and it all came back normal

[Q] Camera and Gallery problem

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!

Gallery folder un-findable

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?

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

[Q] Changing Gallery

I installed Gallery ICS and liked, I would replace the Gallery3D, anyone know how?
I tried renaming, replacing the apk and change the permissions, but it didn't work!

Delete Gallery 3D from Root. And then restart.

OK, I did it and did what I thought
"It worked" but when I click on the preview of the last photo taken by the camera, can't access.
I'll try to rename the APK as Gallery3D.apk again

Ok, now managed to solve almost everything, just got a question:
I changed the Gallery3D for a gallery of my choice (renamed), but I can't access this gallery directly on camera!
Does anyone know how to do this?

I think you're on GB and installed Gallery ICS from play store. Unfortunately the gallery ics is not fully functional. It has strange slowdowns and sometimes consumes large amount of ram. And it's updated very rarely. Try quickpic instead.

Yes, I installed Gallery ICS from play store and I really liked, I haven't had any bug.
Now I just want to know how can I access this gallery directly on camera!
Because I already renamed the apk to Gallery3D and all other applications recognized, unless the camera.
