Hey Guys,..
I have this little annoyance.
When ever i add pictures to my phone,
or delete pictures from my phone,
The gallery doesnt update!
Meaning,
When i add pictured to my phone, i dont see them in the gallery.
When i remove pictures from my phone, i still see them in the gallery.
And if i delete the pictures using the gallery it will remove them.
But not if i delete them using OI File Manager
The only way to get it to show whats current, is my rebooting my phone.
does anyone else have this?
Could there be something i need to exclude from my task killer which provides this service?
Its not a biggy, but its very annoying if i have to reboot my phone everything i want to see the adjustments.
p.s. it doesnt happen when i take pictures with my phone camera,
Then it does seem to update.

Has anyone noticed this bug with JPY?:
When you first boot and open Gallery it is super fast with all the thumbnails preloaded. After a couple of hours when you open it again it says "Loading images" and re caches the thumbnails again taking some time. This is especially evident in folders with a lot of images. It would be ok for an hour and then bam! Loading images slowly when i open it again.
Clicking on a folder opens it with the first four pics showing and then scrolling you have to wait a few seconds for the thumbnails to appear whereas when it initially booted all the thumbnails were already there. Its like it deletes the thumbnails after a while and has to generate them again which takes some time especially if you have a lot of folders and pics.
Is this normal, I don't remember this in my old firmware? Its the only thing that is bugging me. Maybe they force close Gallery after a certain time avoid the sensor draining bug that was there with the previous firmware?
Can you please check a see if yours is the same so i dont have to do a factory reset
you can download SGS tools from the markup and upgrade your gallary app.. that's what i did and i don't have any problems with the gallery anymore..
goodluck
The gallery app in SGS tool is not compatible with JPY because of the new feature of selecting wall paper for lock screen. I gave it a try but it would force close everytime i wanted to select a wallpaper.

Absolutely the same and even more.... I have my picasa account connected to the gallery too, after an hour mainly picassa the gallery crashes - black screen, but no force close. Actually this one, the battery (not 100% after disconnecting) and the contacts app not closing, made me go back to JPP.

The contacts bug can be solved by uninstalling the task manager's update.

Yes, go to manage applications, find it and click uninstall updates to go to the previous version, and the contacts app will be ok.

Hi all,
I have my brand new IS for a while. I had no problem with setting a custom ringtone or photos taken by cam. but a while ago (im not sure when or why) it starts to behave weird. the device doesn't see my music files anymore, i can not choose any custom ringtone. After running Music app, it says "No Music Found" but i can see the file is there( via Astro File Manager etc.).
Same thing happened for photos, too. after taking photos, i can't see them with Gallery app but i see they are in sdcard/DCIM/100MEDIA as usual?
Hope i could tell the problem, any help appreciated..
The apps seem very very bad at refreshing new data off the sdcard. I find unmounting/mounting does the trick.

Thanks for the repy but it doesn't work. Neither Unmount > Mount nor Disable Fast Boot>Unmount>Reboot . I can not see previous photos taken with phone even by the quick button at camera screen.
I can change ringtone by an external app like "Android Movie or Zedge etc." But after restarting the device, it selects default one that shipped with the phone and ignore my custom ringtones.. really weird..
Is a common problem in stock. I thought that making remounting the SD card and afterwards make a photo and than go to gallery should start the reindex. Than start your HTC music app. Should have everything in it by then.
Note: reindexing can take a little while.

Not working..
What i did: Unmount > Mount SDCard. Take a photo > Go to gallery. After a quick refreshing process, there's only latest photo. After a reboot, latest photo is gone, too. Yet no tracks in Music
Just a wild guess, maybe your sdcard is corrupted? FAT32 is very easy to get into such problem. Perhaps you can do a scandisk from a PC.

I am having a problem with transferring photos from my pc to my phone.
No matter what file I try to transfer them to. They won't be recognized. Like they don't even exist.
I try to transfer them again to the same file to see if maybe it did not work but it says they are there. But when I go to check my gallery, there is no sign of them.
What is going on? Do I have a virus? Can anyone help?
Thanks.

i hate the built-in gallery try to download quickpic (alot of option + fast )
or try to clear cache
OK so that helped with updating my contact pictures list, but I originally wanted to update my wallpaper. I use multi picture live wallpaper. And like I said any new picture I put onto my phone is just not recognized.
I'm just directly put my photos under a folder created by myself in the internal storage.

I have actually done that, but alas did not make a difference. If it makes any difference. I notice that whenever I either plug in my phone into my pc and/or move photos around the "Media Scanner Running" icon notifies me on and off for about 5 minutes even after I have finished. And it as well tends to randomly close any app and the app drawer when I open it.
OK just replying to myself but haha I am becoming more and more frustrated with this. It is also affecting my music as well. I transfer the music files from my pc to my phone and they are only in "My Files" app section. Not found in any of my music players.
Now I have recently downloaded a few apps for customization. Such as ADW Launcher EX, Widget locker, and a few others.
Would any of those somehow change things in my phone. I did pay for them.
Make sure there isn't a .nomedia hidden file in the directory where you placed your picture. Additionally unless you use a media scanning app to force media scan, you will need to restart your phone.

I think I am going to assume there is something wrong with my media scanner on my phone. It is always running and constantly popping up saying it is running, then force closing anything I have open.
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.
I just got this phone but I am having a bit of an issue. Whenever I go into gallery and try to remove an image it sometimes works and sometimes the apps freeze/crash. If I go into apps and force stop the application and go into it again sometimes the images are removed and sometimes not. I can remove the files through the files explorer apps and so on but I just bought this phone and I want the normal gallery app to work really..
Anyone have an idea how to fix this?
I have the VTR - L29 version.
