Out of no where my phone has lost all of its pics. Wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I went to go open my gallery and found I had no images in it, I did have my other albums but anything taken with the camera was deleted.

Do you back up to Google+?
Folders are tagged to show in the gallery. I'd check the file system and see if everything is still there.

Yes i do back everything up with Google plus. It's just strange how this happened. My phone never turned off it just poofed out of thin air.

Yesterday a message appeared in my gallery saying there is no memory or pics in the folder and close itself, reboot the phone and everything works fine

Sounds like the virtual SD card partition is corrupt. I would try a reboot and if that doesn't work you may have to do a factory reset.
What happens when you plug the phone into a computer?

MY XZ keeps pulling pics from whatsapp into the ALBUM app on XZ..how to stop that?
There'll be a bunch of folders on the storage area, you need to put a blank file called " .nomedia " in there to stop it from looking in that folder.

Download quickpic from the playstore and use that to place the nomedia file as suggested by gemdog. It works.

This is a big security bug from SONY..Why does no one complain about it?
No one is complaining because it's not the fault of Sony. Whatsapp is the problem here not Sony or the lack of complaints.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2
is there any other solution to this up to date???
its really annoying...
I wish there was some way to exclude folders from view in the stock album viewer also.
You can download a hacked version of whatsapp and it has an option to disable that. On top of that, the photos you upload are not compressed, so it's the full hd photo when others download it.
I think it's called whatsapp plus or +

Just for the record the problem also happens on Galaxy phones, this isn't a sony problem it's a whatapp problem.
Bless, did you clear media storage app data after creating .nomedia file and restart the phone and wait again to do the scan?? Obviously if you create the file and not reset the media storage index of filed I'll keep loading them.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
just copy the .nomedia file from whatsapp\video and try https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS51YmVydWxsdS5yZXNjYW5zZCJd
:laugh:
I think he means that the phone auto download sended pics... Its a whatssapp issue and not a very cool one if you ask me, i downloaded whatsapp plus from androis hacking/apps threat and ticked auto download off!

go to settings, more, application manager, all, and clear data, then stop services for google services framework....then go into system update and update samsung software...... you may have to do that up to 10x with a few restarts in between
also you need to at least have 35% battery
works everytime for me!
if you notice after you clear data and go to system update, it shows that it last checked i 1969......this somehow resets the que and puts you in front of the line
Although this update fixed my red hues during black backgrounds, it added the purple blur/smearing thing when scrolling though quickly...at least we know its a software problem and not hardware
Ok...
I'm going to put this here as I did in the 2 other ota threads.. would someone please grab a log of the link (or grab the download prior to try to install) if they are getting propmted so we can get this to look at?
A bunch of people talking about it, no one trying to get it?
Not sure how. I would be happy to grab the download and get it to someone.

Depends on how people are getting the prompt.. Within the other thread, one of the three anyway, there was this post by a rooted user that had the fail..
This would be ideal because it should have been sitting in /cache (as we've seen on other devices) and it could simply have been pulled.
The only other option (and it will probably not be successful without root but worth a try) would be getting a logcat (running log during process), then forcing the prompt by clearing framework in hopes of catching the download link when the prompt arrives and tapping it. Pull log, inpect it for link and go and get it manually.

By clearing all data in 'Google Services Framework' will this delete any of your contacts, settings, etc.?

Another possible method of grabbing files on a non rooted phone is airdroid app. Connect with PC, choose files folder. By default it will go to the SD card but you can back up and get to the phone's system files after a warning screen. If the theory works, just start poking around the file system until you find the update and download it to the computer. You can't edit anything with airdroid but you can grab files at least if you're not rooted. I've never tried this but did see it show the phone's internal files when trying to get to external storage when the default go to folder was internal storage.
Got my update, turned off dev mode, force stopped google services framework, and cleared data.
So much smoother

Hi all, I am from Mauritius and is a happy owner of the Note 1. Friday while trying to review the pictures and video I took few hours ago, my phone says media scanning, like 4 times. I switched it off and on again.
All pictures and video in my gallery were gone!! only received files were here, like downloaded pics, viber or whats app pics.
I am so desperate as I did videos of my daughter's 1st school show on it...I didn't sleep for 2 days trying to find a solution.
Anyone can PLEASE help me:crying: And I have no external memory on the phone I have only been using the internal one.
Do you use any application to stop media scan?, or maybe you have some corrupted media file on your sd.. Download app from play store to restart media scanner service.. Try this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dcd.scanmedia

Or try wipe cache and data of gallery and media scan using its own application manager. Restart phone and let it scan again.

Connect to pc and check if the picture/video are there in DCIM folder.
If they have gone then download free windows file recovery like Recuva.
Enable usb utilities in setting
Scan your phone(which is now removeable storage) for deleted file

Theres a place to see all apps. Use that and scroll to gallery and media app. Clear the cache and data.
Application manager is the one.

U mean they're just black? Possibly they have been overwritten by something but can't b all.
For anybody wanting more options than the stock camera, Open Camera works with all the bells and whistles. Happy shutterbuggin.

Well, true, it doesn't work properly,
however,
if you select under settings:
Settings/More camera controls/"Use Storage Access Framework"
and afterwards pick your sdcard location,
the pictures you take are stored to the sdcard....
unfortunately....the gallery won't display them until after the phone is rebooted.
Strange stuff.
You can look at the pics right away inside a file manager though... (annoying..yes)
Do any of the Camera2.api type settings work?

I just came in here to see if anybody else was having this problem with Open Camera. Seems to be a problem with the media scanner. Using a media scanning app is a temporary workaround but not ideal.

Hi!
I had my phone in my pocket for about 30 mins, and when I took it out afterwards, my phone had restarted automatically (or so I think, could have accidentally pressed the power button). I found it slightly strange so I went to the settings, and in 'About phone' I saw that the OS option had 'Update' written next to it. I clicked it and it took me to the updater which had a red dot on the bottom right. I clicked that but nothing happened, and when I tried to access the changelog, it said I didn't have permission to access it anymore. Anyone else face this issue? I'm in a fix, and kind of freaking out because I've never updated my phone apart from OTA updates.
