my Father in Law has a MyTouch from T-Mobile and he was wanting to transfer all his pictures from his internal SD card to his external SD. I couldn't find the folder (using ES Explorer) to copy them.. can someone let me know where the internal pictures from the camera are stored?
Thank you!

i can have him check.. but i think we did check there... since i knew android does the dcim folder.. but it seemed like the pics there didnt match what was showing in his gallery or see the recent pics he took.
is the folder hidden?
so u all dont have 3 sd storages on this phone?

They go into the DCIM folder and depending on the settings of the camera at the time of the photo, one of the subfolders of DCIM. They aren't stored in other locations unless specified by a third party camera app.

i think he was asking which mytouch you have. mytouch 3g, mytouch 3g slide, mytouch 4g, mytouch 4g slide, lg mytouch, huawei mytouch, etc.
this forum is for the mytouch 4g slide

Like rorty said they should all be in DCIM or in sub folders inside DCIM. I know you can hide things on your sdcard from the gallery by adding a . In front of the name. So if I want to hide LinuxImages from gallery I would name it .LinuxImages. so see if he has hidden folders with the pictures.

What app are you using? Stock gallery app - if so what android version? (gingerbread, ics...later? (might be helpful since we don't have that device...)
Something to consider - and may be what is the case - they could be pictures no longer there.
A thumbnail of each picture is saved into a thumbnails database - once there it kinda becomes independent of the picture. The gallery is actually displaying whatever is in the thumbnails database, and could be showing pictures long gone. It does happen at times.
I like to use QuickPic as my gallery app (it's awesome!) and it stores the thumbnail database in /sdcard/Android/data/com.alensw.PicFolder
See if you can track down the thumbnail database for your gallery app and (back it up first!!!!!!!!!) delete it.
Next time you open the gallery app it should generate a new, current thumbnail database showing you more accurately what is on the device.
After that, long press on a specific picture in the gallery might get you a pop up menu you can select a details or properties option from? That should tell you (one at a time...) where to find each picture.
Note: thumbnails are tiny, low resolution copies of the picture and not what you want to end up with, just one clue on the path of finding what you are looking for.
Hope this helps some.

Thanks for helping me out if you can....searched all over but didn't find anything on this specific topic.
I came from Blackberry just a few weeks ago and it was as simple as connecting the BB to my PC, going into the SD card, finding video I recorded on the BB...watching it on my HTPC and or simply saving it on my PC.
I was curious if it's at all possible to record an HD vid on the Sensation, connect it to a PC...save it and/or play vid?? Obviously without a MHL dongle.
I know the vids are on my sd card....but I cant find them? Or it seems they are encrypted or something. I searched for .3gp...file size... etc. Nothing?
Is it not as simple as it should be...like BB was?
Thanks for your time!

FYI DCIM stands for Digital Camera IMages & it's the folder that pics are stored in almost anything these days. Take a look at your digital camera/DSLR

Can't you see the to/from on your bill? I'm sprint and I can see this --not actual words but texts to/from numbers
Then use reverse lookup to get info, or google

it's actually an app that tracks your phone, can show call logs/texts, & what not. I use it in case my phone is ever stolen & it's way better than HTC's htcsense.com site.
for your case, you'd need to install it on her phone & then you can do with it what you want. There's a 7 day trial for it. If you send the command to get texts the phone doesn't know it. Also, you can make it hide the program from the app drawer so that it doesn't look like it's installed.
I know this isn't the intended use, but it may help you out

Well I assume it's a bug as I also had this problem, but with this device there is loads of internal memory, so no real need to locate any applications on the sd card, unless they are massive.

Dear mario,
Thanks for contacting HTC. We understand your concern. We are more than glad to assist you on this matter. For you query you have mentioned that you’re having a problem with the shortcut display image of the application on your home screen. If that specific application is installed on your SD card please do not worry because your HTC Desire S is still reading your SD card. It seems that you installed too many Applications on your SD card and I would advise you to uninstall 3rd party Application that you do not frequently used. To remove 3rd party Application please do the following steps: 1. from Home Screen Tap Menu 2. Settings>Application 3. Manage Application 4. Choose Specific Application you want to uninstall We advise you to please soft reset your phone. To soft reset please do the following steps: 1. Please turn off your phone. 2. Remove the back cover. 3. Take the battery out and let it rest for 10 seconds. 4. Reset the battery and then turn on your phone. Should you need further assistance, please feel free to share your preferred contact schedule with us as we would be more than happy to contact you directly over the phone for assistance.

I don't want to run an app for this. Was just wondering if any roms had it built in.
Seems like every time you want to show somebody ONE picture they go scrolling through them all.

There is no native gallery lock. What you could do though is create a folder where you put pics you want to share and before showing somebody hide all but that album. But really, what kind of pictures are you taking with your phone.... (just kidding, don't answer that )

So I haven't seen anything about this yet on the new leak. I downloaded Instagram and it is asking for an SD card before I can even take any pictures. Is this something that always is required? It doesn't let me do anything besides check the uploaded photos on the "timeline." I am guessing that it works on the new leak but can't be sure until I can confirm and work around this issue.

I did another test by turning my phone off, taking out my SD card. Instagram ran fine. I was able to take a picture in app, then I processed the image with a filter and a tilt shift. Then I uploaded without any problems.
Works fine for me.

There's already a thread where this question could've been asked. In the Apps section (where it belongs). Not trying to be a ****; just pointing out a place where more instagram users would be able to help.
