Anytime I try to delete a photo, it reappears within a pretty short window or after reboot in my gallery. I have tried clearing data/cache for the gallery app, rebooting immediately afterwards, and this issue persists. Anyone else having this issue, or have any idea how to stop it? It also seems that when I try to move photos into different folders (on the SD card) they never show up in their new destination.

My gallery will display a random Album named "Untitled" with a picture I remember saving on my computer a long time ago, but didn't purposely move to my phone. Now.. when I format the SD card, this album still appears in the gallery.. any thoughts?
I've cleared the data for the Gallery App numerous times, and factory reset the phone as well.
Why is this happening?
EDIT:
OMFG ITS PICASA. FML
NVM.
SITUATION:
This is not the first time that happened to me. Suddenly, I see blank folder/thumbnails in my Gallery. Some photos won't show up, some photos are supposed to be from other folders, some shows a thumbnail but when clicked, a different photo comes up.
I thought this happened to me before as I was using ext4 for my ext. storage on my then Kang-o-Rama ROM. I tried switching to ext3, which was more stable and the problem was fixed. But suddenly, today, I noticed that this happened again. Only the gallery app / photos are affected and my whole system. My whole system is running smoothly. I wouldn't want to think its my SD card because it is localized in the viewing photos. And almost all my apps run from the SD.
I'm using an Enomther-based ROM, MicroMod, and I never had problems before today.
Anyone else experienced this or any thoughts?

You been moving files around on the SD card without remounting or rescanning the disk? Try a tool to rescan the media, I use this one:

If that fails, there is a thumbnails file on the disk you might try deleting.

The Rescanning apps didn't work.
Deleting the sdcard/android/data/com.cooliris.media/cache solved the problem! Yay!

Thank you very much.
This fix worked perfectly for me when my Gallery thumbnails became corrupted.
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.
Hi all,
I have just installed CM10 on my phone with the latest nightly and g.apps and I received a problem.
My gallery app, does not show any photos, although it is confirmed to still be in the internal storage. Previously was from TiramiSlim Rom. Please
help, because this occurred to me in the past as i tried to upgrade to JB, and I decided to revert back to ICS.
Thanks again!
bump
Please help?

try this https://play.google.com/store/search?q=Rescan+Media++&c=apps recan media app
I tried that before but nothing happens, Thanks though
Anymore solutions?
I once had a similar problem when I deleted some gallery app thumbnail file which was 700mb large(I figured it was corrupted).
I tried to go to apps and reset the gallery app but that didn't help, you could try it though.
Reboot didn't help me either, I suggest you try it as well.
Then I downloaded a new gallery app from the Play Store and that one did work. That new gallery app triggered the media scanner or something cause when i reopened the stock gallery app it had my pictures in it again.
Go to Settings > Manage Apps, find "Media Storage" and open it, then "Force stop" + "Clear data" + "Clear cache", reboot the phone. You must wait few minutes (or more if you have a lot of photos) after reboot to see your gallery again :good:
NB : rebuilding media storage drains battery drastically, think about plugging power cable.

What gallery app? I have to use QuickPic now....the feeling of Jelly Bean is somewhat empty >.<
if you have tried to reset the gallery app, reset media storage, reboots, alternative gallery apps from Play Store and rescan app you would have forced Android to rescan for sure. The resetting of the app through your phones settings should solve any other problems since it's essentially the same as a reinstall of the app(in the sense that a cleared app is the same as a freshly installed app)
If none of that worked I would advice to flash the newest nightly, if you already have the latest nightly just wait for a new one. It can't hurt to update CM10 so it's always worth a try. Clearing the cashes in CMW is also a good idea if you are running out of ideas.
Btw, if you take a picture, does that picture show up in your gallery? Cause if it's a media scan problem it would still show any new pictures taken with the phones camera. If it DOENST show new pictures you got a more complex problem and you might just want to try and make a Titanium Back-up and/or nandroid backup and see if a factory reset or other ROM fixes your problem.

Hey thanks, I think is i would just wait for the latest nightly hoping it would solve the problem, and yes, new photos showed up in my gallery. But when I clear data and force stop the media storage, the new photos wouldn't appear anymore.
So I solved it!!!
Solution:
Delete all photos captured using Camera360.
Optional:
Delete all camera360 user files.
I have no idea why but it shows up after that.
Cheers!!!

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
