external sd - Picture Gallery Slow & Won't Refresh on HTC G2 w Android 2.3 Gingerbread


I'm having a problem with Picture Gallery not refreshing and loading too slowly on Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread (HTC G2). After I take a picture and then go to add it on foursquare or facebook from picture gallery, the last couple pictures taken aren't there. Sometimes the last 20 pictures taken aren't there or an entire directory of pictures isn't showing up. A lot of times it takes a long time to load the picture thumbnails and directories.


Is there a way to refresh or fix the Picture Gallery or is there a better 3rd party picture gallery that you can recommend?


Should I reformat or replace my micro SD card to make it work faster?



Thanks in advance! :)



Answer



Sounds like the contents of your SD Card have not been scanned since taking the photos. Try the SDrescan app from Market. This should help in such situations.


Alternatively, you can manually un-mount the SD Card (via Menu -> Settings -> Storage -> Unmount SD Card) and re-mount it again. This should trigger the media scanner to refresh the card's contents.
