I have this App on my phone, it's called PrankMirror.
When i take a photo using this app, i dont get the picture in my Gallery. I tried to find everywhere using My Files and Root Explorer, still can't find it.
Can anyone help me?

I transfered some pictures from my mac to the captivate... After a while when i go in the gallery app my pictures are getting duplicated many times... Far as 5x each... And when i try to delete them it takes ages and i have to close the app or else it eats my battery... Anyone is having the same problem?

Photo Dupes
Here is a post from cgm8 (10th December 2010). See if it resolves your problem.
Ok..here is the fix from other thread
With root explorer delete:
- /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.media/externalXXX.db
- /sdcard/Android/data/com.cooliris.media
reboot
Good luck
photos keep duplicating themselves.
I too had the same issue. I would have 5 copies of each picture in my gallery. I was hesitant to delete the files recommended below with Root Explorer so I just used Root Explorer to rename the files (removed the db on one and the word media on the other) rebooted and many of the dupls disappeared on their own, the originals were fine. We'll see if it lasts.. also, anything I really did want to delete manually deleted very quickly.
I found the easiest way to deal with this is to go into manage applications>all>media storage>clear data...then reboot
problem solved..
I just downloaded sgs tools for captivate then apply the script "clear_thumb_db.txt"

Any idea as to what causes this?
well i fixed it using the manage apps option above.. just a few hours after it happened to me.. talk about timing!
This always happens to me if I root/unroot the phone with my sdcard in. If I take it out before hand its fine.
I just mount my phone and open all the massstorages and delete the thumbnail files in the DCIM folders and that works fine. You have to understand all the copies you see are thumbnails and deleting via the phone thru gallery can delete the real image...
i have never un-rooted..
since i've updated to 2.3.3, i've noticed that some pictures are missing from phone. i think i had the issue with 2.3.2 as well. noticed video missing as well. this really gets to me since the pictures just randomly get deleted from the phone. i've googled it and it's a common problem. does anyone have a fix for this yet?
My understanding is that the pictures arn't actually getting deleted, just the gallery isn't displaying them. To be sure, connect your phone to your PC and browse to the pictures, they should all be there.
I believe I saw a 'fix' somewhere about installing a different gallery manager app, and that that seemed to fix the issue. I can't remember which forum I saw it on, so please don't quote me.
This used to happen to me on my NS. It would look like the photos where deleted but then when I would check later on they would be their ,and that was on 2.3.2
As we say in French: "Dans le doute, reboote". (When in doubt, reboot). Your pictures will be back in the gallery. That's the only workaround I found for the moment...
I've had this but the pictures *are* deleted. I do not trust the Gallery app anymore, and only use QuickPic (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&feature=search_result).
T
Quickpic is the way to go!!
I use Quickpic as well cuz the gallery app sucks. I just lost pics and a video that i converted and moved onto my phone. They are gone. Can't find them using my computer to browse my phone, can't find them using ESfile explorer either. Rebooted. Still gone
Can't find a fix anywhere. Not happy.
At least I didn't lose data on my iPhone.
I have had this happen to me too, but i had the app AndExplorer on it and i read something where it said that this app was known to delete files just randomly, so if you have this app.. id suggest using Linda Manager or another file manager instead..
Here is what you can try when you see pictures not showing up in gallery3D app:
Stop or FC Gallery.apk so it's not running
Use root expolorer (or some other expolrer capable of displaying files and folders starting with ".")
Browse to /sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails
Delete all pictures and files you see there (those are thumbnails only)
You might have to reboot the phone but usually you can just start Gallery and it will regenerate (slowly) all your thumbnails again.
Gallery3D app creates the folder called ".thumbnails" for which it stores all thumbnails of your pictures for quick screen draw on the 3D interface. If for some reason you copy your pictures from one place on SD card to another or you add new pictures without Gallery.apk running they wont show up because thumbnails were either deleted or never created.
Hi All,
the GN 10.1 offers the possibility to add a Photo Note to your pictures. You can essentially "virtually flip" the photo and write on the reverse side. I really like this feature to be able to keep notes together with the photos.
Is is it possible to back up these "flip sides" and keep them in sync if you need to do a reformat of the data and then restore the photos (together with the notes). Where are these located and is it possible to back them up to dropbox.
I have looked around and cold not find them and I could not find any back-up or sync option.
Many Thanks
I'm not sure what app or feature you are referring to, but anyway one should be able to find where the app store its data and then sync that folder using foldersync or some similar application. Try write on a picture, save and go to the folder handler. If sorted by date, the folder that the app is saving in should be on the very top of the folder structure.

The app is the standard gallery app on the stock rom. If you are looking at a photo you can go to the menu and there is the function "add photo note". It flips the photo and you can write on the back (just like you could do on the old paper photos). I looked but I just can't find the files. Maybe it is some type of propriety file format instead of a picture format.
I would just like to be able to back up these notes so you don't lose them.
Any ideas anyone.

I checked too and there's just an empty folder saying "image notes". However, when I'm checking the DCIM folder where the images are I can see that the image seemed to be edited the time I did the note, so maybe it's embedding it in the picture somehow. But when I uploaded it to Dropbox and opened it in the galley from there the note where lost so apparently not.. The only thing I can imagine is that the note is a hidden file in the folder and therefore doesn't show, have you tried using the computer or another file browser?

Yes the same thing happened to me when I tried to restore the photo. Shame really, I really like just writing on the back of the photos but if I can't backup them up or even export them I just fear they will go lost and therfore the function has only short time limited use. I don't have access to a laptop for a few weeks so I can't check it from the laptop.
Thanks for looking and trying. Really appreciate it.

This sounds cool. Has anyone asked Samsung about how to back these up?

I had an app on my phone that was used to hide photos. I used it for several years and no problems. Today I go to open the app and it was acting like it was my first time ever using it... then I look in the Private folder and its completely EMPTY. I had over 800 very important photos in there and I can not find them. I looked in google play for the app... and its gone. I even talked to Google Help people and they said the app is no longer in the app store.
So what am I supposed to do?
I looked in the phone, and I found a folder called .photosafe and another called .photosafe_DoNotDelete
i opened the donotdelete one and it has a camera folder in there, i open that folder and there is an images folder, a videos folder and 2 files. So i click on images and i believe its all my pictures but when i click on one to open it it asks what app i wanna open it with and i tried several and none work. i think they are just text files.
how can i get the pictures back? can i change the files to something so i can open them?
please help. I am completely devestaed. The p;ictures are very important to me.
.photosafe_DoNotDelete

Did you ever find a solution to this issue?
I have the same problem
Do you remember the exact name of that app?
If yes, try to google with it for some clues.
You can also post a thread for help about that app on sub-reddits, AndroidApps.
Good luck to you.
Hey all, I have dev mode active, and I only did it so I can get just ONE wallpaper from the LG TV so I can use it for my desktop. It's from a Korean artist. I figured that now I can access the file system through WebOS Dev Manager, that I could find the app and just look through the folders for the app and download them, but I simply cannot find the folder for this app!
Would anyone happen to know where it could be, or how I could download these photos? Thanks!
