hi jason

are you sure your SD is mounted and recignized?
try to pull it off, and re-insert it. afterwards reboot your device.

if it still isn't recognized try to read it with a card reader\another device and backup+format it.

All the photos in the sd show up perfectly its the internal sd that doesnt show pictures. Also it looks like the root directory has been changed to sdcard/storage/sdcard0

What if your ext-sd damaged inside? Did you try to another sd card? Music player read your mp3 from that sdcard? Or a file explorer app can see and open your pictures?

I have a similar problem. My external SD card is mounted and browsable using ES File Explorer and all my media files are visible and viewable from ES. However, none of the media files on the external card appear in the various apps (i.e. pictures not visible in gallery, mp3s in the music player etc.). What is even stranger is that once I set the stock camera to save new pictures to the external SD these pictures are visible in the gallery, however all other pictures present taken on my previous phone (HTC Desire) are still not visible, even when located in the same folder. The same pictures do show up if I transfer them to the internal SD card but I would rather not have them all stored there.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Cheers,

Sam

I have the direct opposite problem, my internal doesn't show, whereas met ext-sd is visible in my apps. Need help too!

I have resolved this on mine, I formatted the external sd card and copied everything back. I guess the S3 just didn't like reading a card formatted by the Desire, I'll know better next time!

Search inside your photo folders. If you see a file named .nomedia delete it.

This is because you're using third party file manager. Use the stock My File to move the files back and forth and it will show up in the gallery.

I read somewhere that there was a bug in cwm manager latest version which put a .nomedia file in the root directory. There are fixes where you have to remove the .no media file and reinstall cwm.

My sd photos do not show in my Gallery

Dears,

All you need to do rather than resetting your phones is simply go to your application manager and clear the cache and anything for the Gallery as an application. And make sure that you also acquire the Gallery app with all the needed permissions to access your sd card. Then open your Gallery app, and there you go.

Enjoy!
