No body is having issues with pictures not displaying correctly?? Im on ViperONEM8 rom but it did this on the stock rom and badboyz as well. must not be rom related but i dont know so sum one have any ideas what the issue is? thanks
Have you tried changing the storage location? Also, are you restoring your gallery each time you try a new ROM? You could have the folder hidden on accident and as you restore the gallery that folder becomes hidden again. See if you cannot find the photos another way, for example: Quickpic or ES File Browser.

thank you for helping.
unfortunately yes i did try changing the storage location, in the camera app i changed it to ext sdcard & phone storage both same issue. also i used the Xposed module "Downloads2SD" & "Pictures2SD" both to change the location but still same issue. as for restoring my gallery, no i dont restore it at all when installing new rom. unless somehow it automatically restores from my google account but i dont think it does.
I also have used Root Browser & ES File Explorer to look in every directory on phone and sdcard for the pictures and they cant be found anywhere.
thanks again for replying and trying to help appreciate it much. any other ideas tho?

What happens when you use a different camera app? If that doesn't work either I would suggest an RUU. If an RUU doesn't work I would suggest returning the phone.

still not working with other camera apps. im gonna try RUUing once and see if it still does it. i took a few pics today and all seemed fine until i went to view them later on then they were just displaying the gray triangle thing.. one pic was there and viewed fine one sec then the next its just like the others. i just looked in the gallery now and it shows the previews of these pics but i tap to open them and get the triangle again. its weird & really frustrating i took tons of great pics over the time with this phone and lost them all from this, except of course the stupid test shots ive taken of my wall or whatever pointless shots.. they seem to stay fine its just the important ones that wont.. aarrrghhh gonna RUU right now.
here is a screenshot of what displays for the pictures.. View attachment 2782818

you all have always helped me with any issues ive had.. thanks for all that. and thanks for your help with this.

I am having the same issue i moved all my pictures to the external storage card to free up space but now the pics are in limbo i cant find them i just have the triangle where they use to be. the same thing holds true for apps
im beginning to suspect that KK write protection with the external sdcard is the culprit for this but im on viperonem8 and have tried the fixes i found that are suppose to fix the write protection issue and still having same issues. so anyone have any working fixes at all please let us know thanks

I am having the exact same issue and it is frustrating as hell. Especially when I get a great picture, then I go to show someone and it is ****ING GONE.. The only way that I can seem to save them if is when I take them, I immediately share them. After doing extensive research, I have narrowed it down to 2 possible issues.
1) The SD card is somehow corrupted, I purchased a 64GB SD card from eBay and I just recently read about an SD card scandal that was going on which could be the culprit. To test this, I am first going to try with a smaller card that I know works. If that doesn't work, I am going to have the pictures stored on the phone and see if that keeps them.
2) This problem really started to show itself after I downloaded an app called OneGallery, I don't really know if that has anything to do with it, or if it is completely coincidence. If replacing the SD card doesn't work, deleting this app will be the next step.
I love the phone too much to just turn it in or swap it out.

Folks,
Need help urgently
I am having issues with accessing pictures in my DCIM folder. They show up fine on the phone in the gallery and the path location of the pictures shows that they are the DCIM--> Camera folder, but while plugging the phone through USB, I can't see any of the pictures in the folder..If I take a current picture I'll be able to see that, but all my old pictures I'm unable to see them, even though they appear fine in the phone through gallery..
I've tried installing different ROM's to see if there was an issue with the ROM, but I don't think that's the case.
Could someone please help

1. Search in the Paranoid thread if en error like this happened before
2. Safe the pics and other import files on the ext sd card and from sd card safe them to a PC
3. Check if you have the same problem with your ext sd card
4. After the backup format your internal card and try again
5. Install a stock Rom and try
Good luck

Ive had that problem before;
They do get saved in dcim.
However mtp is the buggy protocol that doesnt rescan the folder properly.
Switching to ums (mass storage) fixes this.
Search the paranoid thread for the apk that allows you to switch to ums.
Goodluck.

I dont think that one works any longer;
I think it was galactus that came up with a post with a link to an apk that switches to ums perfectly.

Dear All,
I know that this thread is old, however the issue is still relevant today for those with older phones and I wanted to share my solution for those that need help.
I had the same issue on my partner's phone where the pictures were seen when looking through the Android phone's file manager but when connecting to a PC, the files were not seen when looking through either MS File Explorer or another file manager (Directory Opus). This meant that we could not copy the pictures from the phone to the PC by plugging the phone into the PC using a USB cable (including ensuring that the mode of connecting was for file transfer or MTP as opposed to 'charging only').
I found this website and Anthropostar's notification that the code could be buggy which led me to try other solutions,.
The solution found that worked was using the software called MyPhoneExplorer (which I have used before for synchronizing contacts). I appreciate that there were issues on the past with this software and the way the person generated income, however all adware is now removed from the software and I recommend trying the software and if you find it useful then donate out of politeness as the developer has request financial help politely. Using the software I was able to connect to the phone in question, locate the files and then my partner has transferred nearly all the files over to the PC. There is an issue with 4 files, which I need to look at today, but the bulk of the 9GB pictures was moved.
I hope that this solution helps others as my partner's phone was not Samsung but another make called One+.
Best of luck.
If you have a sim card in your tablet or phone the pictures will be saved to that and not to the DCIM folder in phone memory.
I didnt want to clutter up the AOIP thread any more, so I just came on here to say I tried the ram manager and ram expander. I settled on ram expander. phone is quiet a different machine now.
however I am having issues when getting a screenshot. I get an error saying "couldnt capture screenshot. storage may be in use" thoughts ? i have tried with and without the ram expander active.
running the newest AOIP 2.0 (4.3)

hmmm it could be just an issue with AOIP 2.0 or a background app causing the issue. On 1.5 I don't have that issue and never messed with screen capture when I tested 2.0. In AOIP tread i posted a screen capture with ramexpander and LBE running.

Which SD card are your screenshots stored? If it's on the card where the swap file is that is most likely the issue. I do know that the SWAP file stops any ability to transfer files from PC to phone on the SD card in which it is in use. Change the storage location of the screenshots to the other card, bet that fixes it.

Obviously it makes sense when using usb cable as it gets unmounted from android first but android wont unmount if something is already accessing the sdcard. internal or external. its same with any os. however he is just accessing it within andoid it's self when using screen capture.. So which goes back to what i originally said as i can use screen capture on either sdcards with and without swap. Its either a bug with AOIP 2.0 or another app he has is blocking its access.
thanks for the feedback. im thinking its something in AOIP, I just wiped and reflashed AOIP 2.0 with the gapps from the thread, still no recording of the screenshot to either sd card. so im at a loss for now. I might post this back in the AOIP thread...
im still playing around with different settings trying to get the screen capture to work right for me. I do get a screenshot file, its just a blank black picture.
i know there is a way to track or i guess log the activity on the phone....can someone help me out on how to do that?
There's an app called aLogcat or from phone terminal type: logcat > /storage/sdcard1/logcat.txt. If you have adb installed, $: adb shell logcat.
ya hes right. If you you can't figure out after looking over logcat. attach it to a post and I'll see what I can find and do.
this is the file i generated from the logcat. i went through in wordpad and spaced out the commands, so if something looks out of place...sorry.
hope it helps. thanks!

k i just saved it to pc. ill look it over when i get a chance either later today my time or tomorrow for sure
sorry for being later at replying back got swamped with some freelance work. After reviewing logcat it looks like its losing focus due to not finding a qualified user. I may be completely wrong but I think it may be a bug in aoip 2.0. Cam may be better at seeing something I do not as he has a lot more experience at it. Your best bet at this current point is to pm cam to see if he can pin point the exact area and I'm sure i can do the rest as he is a busy family man. Depending on what he says you may have to either a) wait if bug has to be fixed in source code or b) swap roms to either previous aoip or different rom all together and but not least c) try an app that does it and see if it gives the same problem.
cool deal. thanks for looking at it. i will try a third party app and see how that works. and cam, if you happen to see this, i guess take note?
thanks guys!
not a problem.
Just going to report back, using a third party app I am now able to capture screenshots.

Hello all,
Found a really strange thing.
I sent a picture from the stock message app ( also on t-mobile) . when I delete the picture from the gallery, it deletes the picture from the camera folder, but then adds the picture into a picture folder.
I have tried deleting the picture folder, but it keeps coming back and duplicating the images. I have tried this on all 3 of our Note 5's and it does it to all of them.
I have not been able to find a setting to turn this off, or a reason why it does it.
Anyone else know about this ?
Noticed that too, seems that itll create a separate folder with all the picture messages you send via text
Yeah, this is annoying. It's really one of the only gripes I have about the phone that I can't figure out. I don't want to use another gallery app and I don't want to root. Not sure how to fix it.
I hate this so much does anyone know how to fix it?

You just need to look at the camera album instead of using the time view.
That doesn't work.
Is this happening to anyone else or just some people?
Apologies if this is in the wrong place, but I've searched and can't seem to find this issue anywhere so am in need of help.
Issue:
Open camera (stock) on the P9 and take photo, shows up in the gallery box in corner, if I exit camera photo is fine. The problem arises if I then try to take another photo straight after the first i.e. person didn't smile the camera won't take a photo and when I exit and re-enter camera (or gallery) the photo is just green lines.
I've played around with settings and changed memory card but am still getting the same issue, is there something I'm not doing setting wise or is it a fault with the camera?
Thanks in advance.
You mean like the one below? I've had it happen to me a few times - primarily during low light shots. If I exit the camera app and come back, the next set of photos then seem to be fine.
I think it's a software problem - I recollect seeing a change log for build 136 which indicated there was a fix for it. I'll try to find the log and post the relevant details.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes exactly like that one, however it's during any kind of shot not just low light ones. I have had the problem since I had the phone and initially the problem did go away if I exited the app and came back but now it's every time, the only way to not have that happen to the photos is if I exit and renter after every photo - which kind of spoils the spontaneity.
Thanks I'd appreciate that.

Here's an image showing the relevant content for the B136 update.
Thanks for that, I've tried downloading the B136 about 5 times now, from different locations and following different instructions, unfortunately it either fails or once downloaded the extraction fails or the software install fails.
Just to say thanks again, I downloaded it to PC and copied it across instead and it's updated and solved the issue.

Glad to hear that 136 fixed your issue. What version of the P9 do you have? And what build have you downloaded?
I'm on the 134 build for my P9 L-09 - still waiting for the update for my geo (C636).
Hi
i am unable to save any picture on my phone.
- download from fb not working.
- camera not working.
- printscreen not working.
all the problems started after updating my phone to latest MIUI update 13.0.3 global
any idea what's wrong here ??
Any error displayed?
sorry, wrong account again.
and no, just a toast saying couldn't save image , when i take a screenshot.
for facebook app, no error, but no photo is saved, the camera app just crashes without saving.
it has been 2 weeks now, the support suggested a factory reset, and i wont do it its too much backup and work, i believe there might be an easy way.

Seems like permissions to save to to sd card somehow got revoked. From the sounds of it since multiple apps are involved, factory reset might be better. You can use an app like Swiftbackup(cannot save data if not rooted unless you use shizuku) which will save lot of time and effort.

you sure ? because even for local storage, still same problem.
No idea what changed, facebook can save images now ! but only facebook, apps like 9gag can't, comics and manga can since ever.
Any updates ?
I found the solution, posted on reddit, precisely :

Ok. The solution is to turn off dual app support, reboot, and then turn dual apps back on again and reenable the ones you want back.
Annoying, but it works.
Screenshots work again also.
Hope this works for you, like it did for me.
Settings>Apps>Dual Apps>Hexagon>Delete dual apps' accounts>wait 5 seconds>Delete>Reboot
