Help My gallery won't load!

[sareuhbelle]

I've had my phone for about 6 months and haven't had any problems with it. Out of no where, my gallery stopped loading. Most thumbnails don't show up (they appear as black boxes) and if I click on one, I'm taken to a loading screen. When I click one with a thumbnail, I'm taken to the same screen. The pictures with/without thumbnails vary each time I try to load my gallery. I downloaded QuickPic but am experiencing the same problem. This only happens with photos that are stored on my SD card. Suggestions?

Cleared the app cache and data?

 

[sareuhbelle]

Yup.

 

[MrGlowy]

This happened to me too. Got on my nerves.

 

[ThatOneRearEnd]

You could try and clear the Dalvik-cache to see if there's any change...

 

[sareuhbelle]

How did you fix it?

 

[MrGlowy]

I flashed cm10 then restored my back up. Not really a fix though

 

[sareuhbelle]

How do I clear that?

 

[ThatOneRearEnd]

By going to /data/dalvik-cache/ and deleting its contents or via recovery...
You need to restart your phone afterwards.

I don't think I have that. I explored my sd card through the all in one tool box. I have a folder called data-app and program data but that's it.

Every Android phone has that...
You may only need another file explorer to access it...

My /data folder is empty.

 

[ThatOneRearEnd]

It shouldn't be... Could you provide a screenshot?

 

[MrGlowy]

He has to be rooted to view that folder. I just looked at it myself.

 

[ThatOneRearEnd]

Then it should be done via recovery...

 

[MrGlowy]

Ya. I backed up my pictures once that happened. Because once it went away. Some pictures were damaged.
