[Q] Hidden Pictures in Camera Roll - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having this problem on my Titan II but I saw this was a question asked in the HD7 forums a year ago and no one answered, so I figured this may be a general bug.
I was on vacation, taking a lot of pictures, when suddenly, any new pictures taken were not visible in the camera roll. I figured out that the pictures were still being saved to the device because I saw my storage space still going down so I kept taking pictures in hopes that I'll still be able to retrieve them.
I finally got home today and when I synced with Zune, all of those pics that are not visible in the camera roll were retrievable and synced back to my collection on my laptop. The weird thing is, NOW when I take a picture, it's being saved to and is visible in the camera roll. This is after performing a "Reset Camera" in the settings and a regular phone reset. Also, when I try to send the pics BACK to my phone, it doesn't sync because Zune says they already exist in my camera roll.
Has anyone else experienced this and how can make those pics visible in my camera roll???

Nobody's had this problem at all?
My workaround was to upload the missing pics to my SkyDrive and view from there, but it'd still be nice to have them in my camera roll.

Gmail Syncing issue?

I just noticed that I hadn't gotten any emails in a while on my N1. So I checked Gmail on my computer and it showed 5 new emails that I hadn't seen. Digging a little deeper, I found that the gmail app on my phone hasn't successfully synced in the last 24 hours and I also can't access any past emails other than those that are already shown in my inbox(it won't load any that aren't already on the phone, gives a "Network Issue" error). What's even more strange is everything else on the phone works perfectly and even the number of new emails is updated in the gmail app, it just won't download the emails themselves. Is anyone else having these problems?
I just checked mine and it is up to date. In fact, I am usually getting a notification of gmail on my N1 before it shows up on gmail web site or indicated by Gtalk.
Hopefully, your issue is temporary and the 'network issue' will go away.
....and fixed. I still have no idea what was going wrong but going into the manage applications settings menu and clearing the data on gmail and gmail storage fixed it. Hopefully this issue doesn't get too widespread, cause no non-tech savvy person would ever be able to figure that out.
Alright, it turns out this is a really big freaking deal(as far as I can test it anyway). Any time I try to attach pictures to an email and send it, it causes this. And there's no way to undo it that I can find other than manually clearing the data in Gmail Storage.
...And from looking at the logcat, It gets a file not found exception when trying to load the attachment. I'm using a fresh picture taken from the camera to test it so this looks like a pretty big bug. I'll poke around a bit more though.
After a bit more testing, this only happens pictures taken from the camera for some reason. Can anyone else confirm that this happens for them too?
Alright, I think I got this(at least partway) figured out. It wasn't all pictures but just a couple specific ones. For some reason, there are some pictures that I took yesterday with my Nexus One that didn't actually get saved anywhere(I'm not sure how it even knows they exist, or where it's finding the image). The image I was trying was one of those, but trying another one that did get saved worked perfectly. So I guess this is less an issue with gmail and more an issue with the camera not always saving pictures correctly. Gmail just completely chokes when you attach a file that doesn't actually exist.
Hmmm...
My gmail hadnt synced for several hours today.
Rebooted..seems ok now.
I did actually send an attachement from a note pad application to myself last night.
No idea what the correlation is if any.
Not sure if anyone has noticed this, but if you are actively logged in to gmail (say, from a desktop) while accessing your gmail on your phone, the results are somewhat wonky and unpredictable.
I've seen this issue on my G1 and it continues on my N1.
I experinced this issue also. The issue seemed to exist across reboots. For some reason I was convinced that the issue had something to do with facebook syncing. I deleted that account and the problem went away. But know that I think about it, I did try emailing a picture that I had just taken right before I noticed the problem(emailed straight from the camera app), and I know that email did not go through. Hmm, definitely sounds like a bug somewhere.

Me too. I noticed same in G1 and now on Nexus while all time logged-in Gmail using Mozilla on desktop while at work. Totally unpredictable many time I see first on desktop and then later (some times way later) on G1 and Nexus.
Jp
I've been having sync issues too. I don't really do much with email, mostly receiving and I find myself having to refresh manually, all the time. It has been about 3-4 days or so. It worked perfectly at first...
Here was my problem: check settings and then the sync menu. It says something & sync. My auto sync was unchecked. Working great now!
Been having sync issues, posting in a thread about it over on the google support boards. Not major to me, just annoying and hope it gets resolved.
Thank you so much for the detailed responses about this Marcus. I thought I had messed up gmail with my theme, but then I read this thread and remembered that I had tried to send a picture through gmail immediantly after taking it, and after clearing data for gmail and gmail storage, it worked again.
So again, thank you, that is one less bug I have to deal with my theme causing.
I've had this issue when trying to email "large" (over 2MB'ish, as a rough guess) files.

XOOM acting Weird. Cant Locate Files?

Everything has been fine with my Xoom since day one. Now a week after my OTA ICS update things are getting funny. For some reason my Xoom cant locate all my picture albums anymore. I had about 12 albums of pics and now their is only 2 albums present. Also the two albums that are being shown seems to be the only two photo albums i have on my SD. So all albums saved directly on XOOM is not being recognized. Can someone please let me know if they had a similar problem or know a fix for this?
Also I have just noticed that my XOOM deleted all picture files from its hard drive. Every picture from every folder that was on my XOOM is now GONE!!! Also every video is now gone as well!! What happen? Someone please let me know if you can help. Like my signature says I have stock everything, no mods no nothing. I got the ICS update over the air. Everything has been working fine until this morning when i woke up.
Did you lose only pictures and videos? Other data are still there?
However I think the best thing would be to backup your data and perform a factory reset.

Google Camera freeze

Hello all,
I recently got a brand new Nexus 5, 16GB.
Since today, when starting the Google Camera, the app freezes for 5-10 seconds, which is pretty annoying.
I already tried:
- other camera apps from the Play Store, they work fine
- deleting app data
- reinstalling the Google Camera app
Do you have an idea how to fix it?
I would first like to try fixing it without a factory reset.
Edit: opening the camera via hangouts photo shortcut works flawless.
Regards
So I actually solved this, just in case someone has the same problem.
It seems like the +1000 Photos in the DCIM/Camera folder caused this to happen.
Moving them to another folder and starting with a clean photos folder worked well.
I still wonder why this happened, I pulled the photos straight from my N4 where I never had these kind of problems.

Missing videos and photos

Hello I have a problem with my HTC U11 build 2.33.401.19.
I noticed that sometimes some photos and some videos disappear from the memory of my phone, as if the file was corrupt.
Yesterday for example I made some videos and some photos and if I open Google Photos I see only a gray preview and I can not open them anymore.
If I open a file manager those videos and those photos do not appear in the list.
I don't know if it is connected, but if I open a file manager I have two DCIM folder with the same files inside, as if it were duplicated.
Has anyone encountered a similar problem?
How can I solve?
Hello,
Has this been an issue with your U11 for awhile or is it a relatively recent problem? I ask because I had the same issue with my U11 only a couple months after I purchased the phone, I've owned mine since July 2017. Do you use the htc app Boost+? What I discovered was everytime I would use Boost+ specifically the cache cleaner function, that is when I would notice missing video files from my phone. Honestly I cannot say for certain that the htc app was casusing this problem, but when I suspected it being the culprit I removed the app from my U11 and have not had anymore problems with missing video files.
Unfortunately now my U11 is dead, will not charge... I replaced the charging port board and still will not power on or take a charge! Been dealing with this problem for about 3 weeks now, VERY FRUSTRATING!
