Each time I move pics.from one folder to another) say from DCM to Pictures, I get duplicated photos into album.
In case of duplicated pics, having a look at properties, one seems to be into "storage/emulated/0/pictures" and the other into "storage/emulated/legacy/pictures"
I tried clearing cache, deleting data or forcing media rescan, with no avail.
Quickpic does not have this problem.

Having a problem with my thumbnails in album after installing the MySpace app from Marketplace.
After I ran the app, I noticed that some of my thumbnails had changed to pictures from Myspace, but when clicked on, they still display the correct picture, ie. the picture that should be there, rather than the picture displayed in the thumbnails.
I looked through the device with File Explorer, and found a folder containing these images that were replacing the original thumbnails in Album, and so I deleted it.
This didn't help.
I then removed MySpace, but this didn't help either.
I've tried soft resets, and running CleanRAM, but still unresolved.
Any ideas on why this would be happening, or what I could do to remedy the problem?
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?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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
Hello,
I tagged a lot of faces that Sony Album (gallery) app found (Open Album --> My Albums --> Faces) of pictures that were on internal memory.
Recently I installed an SD card, I didn't use it before, and moved a lot of pictures to the SD card.
Now when I go to faces and pick names it shows wrong pictures. I mean I have faces tagged in random pictures on pictures even without faces.
I tried clearing cache and date of Album and Media Storage but that didn't reset the faces part of the app.
How can I reset the "faces" part of Album app?
There is probably a better way, but this how I have reset data on system apps when I couldnt figure out another way-
First easy way go into settings, apps, find it, then hit Clear Data for that app. Works with many.
Other way I have done is to use root explorer to head to /system/app and copy the apk file to my external sd card, then delete it (directly or with a root uninstaller) then wipe dalvik cache, then reinstall apk. I hope this is needlessly complex.
I understand that process.
It is not Album or Media Storage as clearing them doesn't reset it.
My question is: Which app's data is it to reset faces part of Album app?
It was so messed up for me that I just ended up going into each name individually and untagging everyone.
Follow me on this...
Take a picture: it will be stored under /DCIM/Camera folder
Open QuickPic: it shows the picture under the Camera album
Open SonyAlbum: under the Images tab you will find the same picture under the current month label
Open a file manager and move the picture from /DCIM/Camera folder under the /Pictures folder
Open QuickPic: it shows the picture under the Pictures album
Open SonyAlbum: under the Images tab you will find two copies of the same picture under the current month label; if yoh look at the details of both pictures, one comes from /storage/emulated/0/Pictures and one from /storage/emulated/legacy/Pictures
Now I know that they areboth access pointsto the same physical folder, so tehre are not actually two copies of the same pictures, still Sony album sees both of them. I tried clearing cache, data etc. with no avail.
Hi all. This morning out of the blue my M31 is not showing any picture or video in the gallery, and so does every other app (FB, Instagram, Snapseed, Google Photos). The files are in the same folders and they're not hidden. I tried restarting, deleting the gallery data but nothing.
Only thing I cannot do is delete the data of the media scan system app.
Any help?
Edit: it looks like that's the only system app on which I can't do anything. Is there a way to reset it via adb or similar?
