Hello everyone,
I have 2 note 4s from T-mobile and recently started to have issues with images.
On my rooted note 4, i cannot seem to save any photos from from text messages into the gallery.
On my non-rooter note 4, i cannot save any pictures from text messages or anywhere else. Also I cleared the cache of the media storage and that wiped everything out and I thought after restarting, it would all come back, but it has not. I have checked using Root Explorer, all my photos are in the DCIM/Camera folder but the items are not in the gallery app.
Can someone please advise what can be done in order to get this fixed because it has been going on for over a month now.
Anyone???
Check if there in not ".nomedia" file in your picture folder. Delete it if you have one. Another trick you may try. Move your pictures to another folder, open gallery and let it rebuilt tumbnails. Close gallery and move pictures back. It did help me once.

Hi guys,
This is driving me insane, I have deleted a few folders from my sd card,(they were empty) and I have all my pictures, but now when I take a pic,I can't see my new pix I just took, its no where in the gallery, or in quickpic, if I go to the camera, and go to the pics option,I can see all my photos, including my new ones,I must admit,I am baffled by this, can anyone help me out?
(also this is the same for whatever ROM I flash)
Do I need to as a new folder somewhere?
Thanks if anyone can help me out.

So I've had no problems up until a few days ago when if I try and take a photo on the camera it appears to work but the gallery icon in the corner of the camera still shows the last taken photo and opening the gallery also only shows the old photos. I also had an issue where I was receiving text messages and I could read them in the notification bar but when I opened the text to reply the new one wasn't there, I deleted a bunch of other messages but this didn't work but when i deleted the thread for the specific contact when a new one arrived it worked fine.
I've tried turning the phone off and one and I have a reasonable amount of space on the SD, so I'm baffled why I can't take any new photos!
Any help would be great, cheers!

I had a near identical issue where I would take a photo, the gallery icon would not update, and the photo was never saved. Also if I opened gallery no camera photos were there.
I backed up my DCIM folder, deleted all the images in 100MEDIA, updated my rom (ARHD), and it started working again.
I would try deleting all images in 100MEDIA then rebooting first.
Did you change the date on your phone?

No never touched it. I think the root of my problem was after upgrading from a 4.2 to 4.3 rom I manually moved my pictures to the new directory structure. The sense camera app does not appear to like that it did not write those files itself.
Hey guys, need a little help here and wanted to see if anyone else had this problem. My pictures are being saved to my microsd card. If I use quickpic for my gallery, delete a pic, it's gone from the gallery. If I restart the phone, it's back. I've tried going in through astro and deleting the files, and it just hangs, won't delete anything. I was able to go in through the camera app, then review pics through the camera app and delete from there and it worked, but I have no idea why quickpic, the stock gallery app, and astro all can't delete the pics! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
And just to clarify, I'll delete a picture in quickpic, so it doesn't show up there. But if i go through astro and look in my pictures, the pics are still there, so when I restart the phone, it reloads the pics into the quickpic gallery.
Use build in file manager to delete stuff from SDCARD, google screwd everyone up by locking up sdcard functionality , the only way to fix it is by having root.

Wow, that's unbelievable, I used the built in file manager and it worked, that's ridiculous that you can't even delete pictures from the stock gallery app either. Thanks for the help!
Man, what a pain. how can this even be an issue? unbelievable!
Not true. You can delete photo's from the stock gallery. I just did it with a photo located on my external sd card.
Also, from what I understand about the external SD changes Google made, it would be mostly the application developers fault if something like that doesn't work correctly. An app can only write to it's own folder on the external SD, but can read all. When uninstalling, the applications folder is also deleted. I imagine this would be very tricky with pictures as you don't want to store them in 2 locations. I guess this would actually render a stand alone gallery app and file manager app useless in Kitkat when dealing with external SD files.
Also, it says this on Quickpic's page in the play store, "Can't modify the external storage in Kitkat." Sorry bro.
Hi my Gallery app shows only pictures that are on the device and not from dropbox facebook etc..
On my note 4 it shows everything together device + cloud
does anyone know what is the problem and how to fix it?

Same here.
The new gallery app seems almost useless. I want my old one back.
I want the app to also allow me to sorry folders (albums). The way it works now, those folders are sorted with the oldest ones on top. I have years of photos and photo folders there copied onto the phone. I have to spend several minutes scrolling all the way to the last ones to see the most recent photos just taken. How lame is that? Anyone have any ideas?
I haven't tested because i do not want my drop box photos showing.
1. Make sure you have the drop box account added from the market. (I came from a Note 3 and drop box was automatically installed but it is not with 5).
2. Go to settings > accounts. Click the plus to add an account. It will show you all your aps. Drop box will not be highlighted, select it.
3. When you select and re-sign in, you will be asked about photo uploads.
4. Make sure you have sync turned on. This is the step I did not do.

Help needed! I have a Note 9 on At&t. I have attached the path where one of the photos keeps appearing. I do not have samsung cloud active so when I delete photos often times some of them appear a day later. I have went directly to the path and deleted them for them only to appear hours later. I did a search and located nothing so fear I may be the only one experiencing this.
Maybe you saved it in a cloud so it reappears... Try to synchronize or delete directly in the cloud if you done that.
These are just the cache not the original picture. You need to delete/clear the pictures cache.
The best program I found to do this is "Unseen Gallery" which is available on the store.
Hope this helps.

On my s9 note if you go to the menu option in the gallery settings you should see the option to disable save photos for 15 days before permanently deleted in trash.
