Is this intentional? Did they mess with the gallery app to make me change my phone? What is this ****? I've been force closing the app for 2 months now. Note the 5000 random files. Deleted another 2000 in the other cache folder.

your sd card is corrupted, buy a new one
That's internal storage, but after I cleared all the pics, videos and that cache the problem seemed to stop. I'm thinking I had some pic it was trying to enhance, like when I take a camera pic I can't see it right away, I have to wait for the app to edit it.

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
Hi all, I am from Mauritius and is a happy owner of the Note 1. Friday while trying to review the pictures and video I took few hours ago, my phone says media scanning, like 4 times. I switched it off and on again.
All pictures and video in my gallery were gone!! only received files were here, like downloaded pics, viber or whats app pics.
I am so desperate as I did videos of my daughter's 1st school show on it...I didn't sleep for 2 days trying to find a solution.
Anyone can PLEASE help me:crying: And I have no external memory on the phone I have only been using the internal one.
Do you use any application to stop media scan?, or maybe you have some corrupted media file on your sd.. Download app from play store to restart media scanner service.. Try this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dcd.scanmedia

Or try wipe cache and data of gallery and media scan using its own application manager. Restart phone and let it scan again.

Thanks How do i do that please?
Connect to pc and check if the picture/video are there in DCIM folder.
If they have gone then download free windows file recovery like Recuva.
Enable usb utilities in setting
Scan your phone(which is now removeable storage) for deleted file

Theres a place to see all apps. Use that and scroll to gallery and media app. Clear the cache and data.
Application manager is the one.

U mean they're just black? Possibly they have been overwritten by something but can't b all.
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.
What is this topfoolery? There is NO option I can find to have it scan both memories for images and videos either... Any suggestions?
Clear cache & data on gallery.

Did, nothing. Media storage too. Fixed permissions as well, still nothing. Might just go ahead and try moving things off the card and putting them back on, but that's a PITA if its the only way. And post-research, the folders do NOT contain .noimage or whatever that file is that may be telling the system not to add those folders.

Another approach is to use something other than Gallery to see if the problem resides in your phone setup or the Gallery app itself. I recommend QuickPic for this.
