Stock samsung gallery app - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i have a lot of old files that i transfered to my note 5 but nothing shows in the stock gallery, only new videos or photos, didnt had that problem with note4, any solution?
Tnx

Try using a file Explorer and moving files that aren't detected to a new folder on the phone and restart ...it might help... but if u are talking about pics from whatsapp or something it might not work.. I have no idea why

[Q] Double Image in Gallery

Hi there..
I update my SGS to Froyo last 2 days.. and yesterday I apply Voodoo 5 on it.
But today I just noticed that any images from my external SD will appear double in gallery.. dunno when it started to happen.. is there any way to fix this?
thanks
Im my case was 5 for each original, and with a lot of problems to delete the "non-real" ones...
thats hurt.. anyone can help here?
Yup! Just go to Application Manager, then easily clear cache for Media Storage! Ta-Da! No more duplicate images!
(It made my ringtones reset, but I could live with it!)

If you have Root Explorer
GO into /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.media
and delete both the internal and external files
Reboot

Great hint, just wondering though if there is any way to have an app or script run at boot-up to do this for you, so people don't have to do it manually every time their gallery has a fit?

Music & Gallery App Problems

open dev tool go to media provider and tap on scan sdcard
if don't work check for .nomedia file in /sdcard, music folder, video folder and picture folder

First of all you should download es file explorer...
Then locate all the music in your sd and make sure they are placed in a folder named MUSIC...similarly,
The pictures should be placed in the folder called DCIM, further in camera or any other folder you want to keep in...
Just open any 1 song from the sd through the manager and the rest are found by the music app...similarly for the pictures as well...just tested and it works for me...
If the problem persists then reboot it once and try the method again...
If still the problem persists then i recommend you should use cm10 build 3...
Any other doubts you should reply and make sure you hit thanks!:good:
All the best !:good:

Zrcam uninstall or .thumbdata3-1763508120 fix

I have sony Xperia Z1 with stock rom and xposed flash. Obviously rooted too. If i have missed anything, you can ask me in the comments section
I have flashed zrcam but when I click pictures, they are very huge. I do not have any problem with it being captured as i can delete them but what makes me worried, is that two thumbnail files have being created in my thumbnails folder which is currently taking up 2.69 and 2.68gb of my storage each. One of the file name is .thumbdata3-1763508120.
I have tried deleting these files but they appear back again or my camera stops working. I rebooted the phone several times and the camera started working with those massive files appearing back again. Also i have tried deleting pictures in those thumbnail folder but the size of the thumbnail file doesn't decrease. Pictures taken from my phone are saved in sd card and these stupid files are in the internal memory .
My question is, is there any way i could delete this file or i could delete the zrcam? Where can i get the stock camera app to flash. Sorry but i didn't back it up. I never knew i would face this issue. Please if anyone could help me that would be great!
Thanks a lot!

Yaa. I thought you became angry.
I have disabled the album app and then deleted those files but after sometime the files appear back again, the gallery app being already disabled. And i do not even have gbs of pictures. It can be 1gb total, maybe! Why are these files so big??

I have tried this trick by creating a file of the same name but that stopped my camera app. The app started crashing, so i rebooted back again and it was fine but on the other hand, the files came back again too, lol

Meaning?

Hidden files somewhere...

I have a Note 9 Exynos dual sim, stock Android 9.
I used a new video software and recorded something important that saves into folder /storage/emulated/150/video
I can not find this file anywhere, possibly because I am not rooted? The adb pull command doesn't work either.
I can see and play the file from the apps internal gallery but that is it....I can't upload to onedrive or transfer to PC.
What needs to be done to get this file from my phone to PC?
Thank you for your help.

go into your file manager and move it to another folder or your external SD card. If you can move it internally, you should be able to view it from your PC and therefore transfer it. If you cant move it internally (cant imagine why you wouldnt be able to) then youre hosed. But that sounds like a unicorn situation.
Thanks but I cannot see it in any file manager I have checked so far. I only see it in the Apps own gallery...

Is the app a secret too?
It's called Quick Video Recorder. It's great for one button instant record function... But it isn't great if you want your videos off your phone it seems ?
Can I root safely without losing my data? From what I've read online rooting removes knox encryption and Samsung Pay and this can't be reversed... Is that correct?
SOLVED!
I solved this by putting the file manager app into the secure folder where the app is located. Then I could navigate to it. Makes sense really.
