Gallery problem

[#1]

I've been using my phone for  two days (yes, it's brand new), and I've somehow managed to ruin it.
Problem is, whenever I open the gallery, it shows nothing, it's blank, even though I've taken a few pictures and videos.
Also, I can see the pictures and videos thumbnails from the homescreen, but clicking a picture on it, just causes the phone to open a blank screen.
The videos work fine though, they play from the pane itself.
Is this some bug with the gallery or teh phone?
Is there some way to get around it by making some other app the default image viewer?

ok try this

settings -> storage -> unmount SD card

turn off the phone -> remove everything, w/o the battery press and hold the power button for 5 seconds. -> put everything back -> settings -> applications -> manage applications -> all -> gallery -> clear everything

try again

if none of the above work then

ok,

1) backup everything

2) repair your phone with Update Service

Make sure you backup everything

Settings -> privacy -> Back up my data and Automatic restore should be selected

and also

Use one of these links to download the

Backup & Restore app

How to install it

You need to

go to settings -> applications -> check unknown sources

download IO File Manager

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.openintents.filemanager&feature=search_result

download the backup & restore app, transfer it to your SD card, use OI file manager to find it -> tap on it -> install it

or

let me make it simpler

download the apk on your computer, send it to yourself through email, make sure you send it to your Gmail

now on your phone

go to settings -> applications -> check unknown sources

wait for the email, once  you get the email, open it, and instead of downloading the attachment it will allow you to install it, voila, done

Contacts

just to play it safe sync your contacts w/ google if you haven't already

open your phonebook

press MENU button -> tap on Send Contacts -> select all -> send it to your email

on your computer

-> download the file -> go to your gmail -> click on contacts -> click on more actions -> on the drop down menu click on "import" -> choose the file -> and click import

Apps

Don't worry so much about backing up your apps

on your computer go to

market.android.com -> log in -> click on My Library -> and send all your apps to your phone

SMS/MMS

if you don't want to use the backup & restore app then

Install "backup SMS" to back up your SMS and MMS to your Gmail

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zegoggles.smssync&feature=search_result

or your SMS use

"backup & restore SMS"

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&feature=search_result

or for your MMS use "Save MMS"

Thank you, Mr. Uliwooly.
My friend's phone had the same problem, and he did it by backup+update.
Mine, I just updated the software, and now it's working pretty fine 😐
