So, i got my s6 128gb edge today..
I took a few pictures and added them to the pictures directory and also added them to DCIM.
when I pull up gallery i cant see anything!
things i've tried:
1) restarting the phone and clearing gallery cache
2) media scanning 3rd party apps from play store.
3) Taking a picture with the camera then trying to create an album. then dropping photos into the newly created album
4) Factory Resetting the phone.
This all happened after I applied a theme. (at least when I noticed it)
Is anyone else having an issue with this? I can't find one thread or post about this issue
I want to load my s5's pics to my edge's but it just WONT go.

I am having some weird problems with my Gallery app.
1) Gallery seems to take a long time to open certain photos. While the photo is opening, the screen will usually timeout and turn off before it's even displayed. If I keep the screen awake, sometimes the picture will never load. I can flick to another photo and then back and I'll see the picture.
2) Copied a few photos to a folder on my Internal SD card. All of them are around 1-2M, 72dpi photos taken with various digital cameras. When I browse to that folder in the gallery, it will hang and take forever to generate the previews. Of the 10 photos in the gallery, 8 of them will not generate a preview and I can't open them. I have one photo that does open but the same exact photo that was touched up in Photoshop and has all the same properties as the original will not open.
Media scanner is working, I am able to add/remove photos to the internal storage and they open fine on my laptop, I can take new photos although they don't always show up in the gallery immediately.
My phone is the Vibrant and has been rooted, fixlag applied, and Captivate camera apk installed. This problem was happening before I changed the camera software.
Hi all,
What I did is, I took a zoe photo, and then I moved the zoe photo by the spliting function to /Picture folder.
Afterthat I use the ES explorer to move back those 20photos+1video files to 100MEDIA folder. And now, I cannot see the moving zoe in the photo album, and it just shows the 3 sec. video.
How can I restore it back? Thanks a lot for helping.

It is a little different. So click on the video and when it's playing click it again it will pause. You can then use the slider at the bottom to go through the frames. Once you find a frame you like you can go to menu and save the frame.

Thanks. However what I mean is now the album recongize it as a video clip instead of a zoe photo. So it cannot show it in a magic zoe style.
Anyway to solve it? Thanks.
You can't. Looked at the gallery sqlite database using sqlite editor. You can see there that Zoe photos are stored in there. Once a Zoe photo is removed the data get's deleted and when you return it back it doesn't recognize the zoe photo anymore because the deleted data in the database is totally gone.
I assume that the camera app creates that data in there everytime you take a photo and mediaserver removes it when it can't detect it anymore.

Thanks a lot. That means I've no way to resolve it back.
However, I think out a issue, for example, if we change to another New HTC one, we cannot just copy all files from the old phone to the new one with the zoe album keep alive in the new one.
Yes! Or maybe you can by backing up the data of the gallery and restore it back on a new device(Would require root though).
Also I have made this suggestion already on HTC about a month ago about the issues with Zoe, Gallery & dropbox but they ignored it. Seems like they didn't get enough response about the issue.
Howdy,
Lately I've been saving a number of pictures from Internet Explorer and Whatsup, and once I got to Photos|Saved pictures, I saw many saved photos aren't there. Curious, I've plugged the phone to the PC and browsed to SD Card\Pictures\Saved Pictures and... all of the saved pictures were there in the Saved picture, they just didn't appear in the Photos app.
What could be the issue? Could that be traced anyhow? Pretty itching issue.

PS.: I've been experiencing an issue like that when I've had reading failures after I turned on Full File System Access once on my Samsung ATIV S. But then I had issues with Photos app closing every now and then after it was launched. I don't experience such issues now, Photos app and other apps like Camera don't close on starting.
Hmm... are they all image formats that the Pictures app recognizes? IE supports a lot of image formats (SVG, for example) that are not officially supported image formats on the phone.
When you save a picture in IE, it gets shown fullscreen and there's a message at the top, even when it says finished, it only saves the picture when you wait for it to disappear, clicking back will cancel it.
Hi,
I took some panorama 360 photos last week and they were showing fine in the Gallery (the panorama icon was showing) and I was able to explore them with the gyroscope. But after moving them to another folder with a file explorer they are not shown as panorama pictures anymore (the icon is not showing and they appear ugly). I tried moving them again to their original folder but it still does not work.
I did some research and took new pictures and discovered that even renaming them prevents them from showing correctly in the Gallery. The only operations allowed that don't "break" them in Gallery are the ones provided directly by the Gallery application (copy or move to another album), any other operation performed with an external file explorer app breaks the gallery compatibility with these files.
I have uploaded the pictures to Google+ and they are displayed correctly, so they are fine and there is no corruption, so it seems to be a problem with the Gallery application.
Do you know how to fix this problem? I would like to be able to see the again in the phone, the gyroscope exploration is amazing :good:
Thank you very much in advance.
Any ideas about it?
Thanks
I've got the Camera saving to my sd card and until last weekend, as far as I ever noticed, the built-in Gallery app would display all of my pictures (the ones from the S5 - it doesn't search any other dirs on my sd card, grrr).
Saturday I noticed it only showed me a handful of pictures, the most recent ones taken. And since then, as far as camera pictures go, it's only showing me ones taken after that certain point. Quickpic is still showing me everything. The gallery app still shows the few older pics that are on device storage, just not sd card.
Any ideas why? The only thing I can relate this to is that I tried the "drama" mode for the first time that day - the finished picture is in the "Studio" directory in phone storage, not SD, and it's the regular camera pictures taken before that point that are not showing.
I'm not a big fan of the gallery app in general, and now that quickpic shows my picasa pics I don't really need it, but I would still like to fix this.
