Corrupted Camera/Gallery "AGAIN"on my Galaxy Note 2

[Batman8]

That was part of the fix from the old days, so basically nothing has changed, except the instances of the problem are few and far between.

I don't understand why it took you so long to resolve this anyway.
Why didn't you just pull some bat tool out of your utility belt.

Hey Pool_Shark, I'm glad to see some folks still here from the old days to refresh all of our memories of the fixes from back then. I'm so glad to now get the Gallery and stock Camera back that I'm trying hard to overlook the 156 screenshot images that still just won't display in the Gallery at all. If anyone knows why that is, don't hesitate to let me know.

These days my bat utility belt is working just fine, it's just the bat computer (G Note 2) that's on the fritz recently.

Did you try sdrescan?

Did you try sdrescan?

Tried it but it didn't help. Thanks though.

I had this happen to me talked to a tech person from Minnesota and he had me check my sd card on my home computer and it worked
there so he had me down load everything to my desktop and reformat my sd card and reloaded everything back onto my sd card and it
works perfect now.

Hey Natey2, I did some research on rebuilding the thumbnail files and found some interesting posts all over the net. One of them however DID solve the problem, so before any of you that are having this issue performs a daring Factory Data Reset or try to reformat your SDcard to resolve this, first you might want to clear the data on your Media Storage app in the settings! Basically go to "settings/application manager/media storage/clear data" then reboot and wait about 5-10 minutes for your data to refresh itself. Be warned that I also lost all of my music playlists when doing this, but it did correct the problem with my Gallery AND stock Camera so that they both work again. I was able to later restore my playlist with TB since I'm rooted.

Also, I take no credit for this information since I'm just passing it on to hopefully help someone else going through the same thing. If I could remember who actually solved the issue I would surely give him/her credit since the forum folks have proven once again to be smarter than BOTH Verizon AND Samsung with their own product (knowing it better than they do which is amazing).

Thanks again all, and good luck.

Hi
Thank you guys for the information.
I have a similar problem, only that the corrupted files are the video that i had taken with the Note camera. Others videos that i've been shared with, played ok. The stills photo are ok too.
I also noticed that if the video file isn't big enough, it can still be played. but files over, say, 350 Mb are always corrupted.
I'm sure it is something to do with the SD card, since when I replaced my card with my friend's card, the problem roamed to his device... more than that, if i dismount the SD card from my device, the videos file are fine.
I already formatted the SD. It helped for a while but the problem returned.
However, i'd like to try the above solution (unless anyone has a better idea), but I can't find the "media storage/clear data" at "settings/application manager/".

Could someone direct me to the "clear date" app? do I have to install it or is it part of the system?


thank's again

In setting/application manager there will be 3 sections 1. Downloaded apps 2 . Running 3. All... Media Storage (in fact all system apps) will appear in ALL section
click on there you will see 'clear data'

Hey! When you did that did it also erase your corrupted pics. Any suggestions on recovery?
Thanks!
