Savin a Picture Message
Is it me, Or does everyone have to reboot their phone to have a picture that you saved from a Picture Message to yoru SD Card show up in the Gallery. Mine do not show up until I reboot the phone.
...
Unfotunately not in my case. It still does it. It is stupid to have to rebootyout phone to be able to see picture messages that you have downloaded.
...
Do you have a rooted phone? It occurs to me that possibly the Gallery in the leaks isn't the gallery in the final?
In any event, a complete reboot isn't strictly necessary. Connect to a PC and hit the "mount" option, then disconnect it has the same effect. There is also an unmount option in the menus under Settings - SD Card and phone Memory. Once it unmounts, if you go back in, it says "mount" (unless this is a CM6 feature...).
If you're rooted, you can also use terminal emulator to accomplish this.
I believe the reason it behaves this way is to speed up the gallery. Rather than rescan the sd card, it only scans the pictures directory (where camera shots go, so there's a good chance that will have changed). If you do this, i...

Actually I would just go in and out of the gallery several times in a row and that would bring them in sometimes. Rarely had to reboot.my husband had the same problem.we both have moto droids but friend has HTC and never had the problem .she doesn't have upgrade yet
.it is a weird thing

Download ScanMedia from the Market. It will rescan the sdcard on demand. I use it because I have several different apps for wallpapers, and they all put them in their own folders, and I move them around with Explorer. Changes don't apply until the sdcard gets scanned again.
...
I downloaded scanmedia but not sure how to use it. I push on it and nothing happens and there is nothing on the menu. How do I know if it is doing anything. Maybe I should reinstall.
...
You're using it correctly. When you open it, ReScan is the only option, and when you talk it, the application closes. It rescans the sdcard in the background, which only takes a few seconds. Count to 5, and open your Gallery, and you should see everything show up.

*tap it, not talk it. Trying a new keyboard app and not liking the autocorrect.
