Anyone know how to fix this? Pictures get deleted by themselves all the time, when you save a picture to the phone (not sd card) they get deleted if you reboot your phone. This used to happen on the gs3 too not sure about the gs4. Why is that though? Pictures seem to stay if you save them to the sd card. Try it.
So no one huh

I've been having some issues since the Android update from Motorola to 55.13.25. The camera will open, but it won't save the pictures. It will save the first 2 or 3 pictures that I take, but after that if I want it to save them I have to reboot the phone. I can't download anything off the internet browsers on the phone either. Seems like it could possibly be a problem w/ the SD card, but I can still look at the pictures and videos that are already on the phone though. Should I just try reformatting the SD card and see if that works? I'd rather not b/c it's a 16GB w/ a lot of stuff on it.
Plug it into your computer transfer everything over to your desktop then format the sd card transfer everything back and see if that fixes it. Good Luck
A few days ago, I tried taking some pictures with my Droid Charge and the pics would not save. I tried in the stock camera app and in CameraZoom EX. CameraZoom gave me an error message "failed to save photo to SD car (error code=2). I figured I was out of space.
My Titanium Backup scheduled backup did not run the next day. So, I assumed I was out of space.
I connected the phone to my PC and deleted some pics and music. WHen I was in WIndows explorer, it said I had about 2 GB free after doing all of this.
When playing music today, I noticed files that I had deleted before still present on the phone. I thought this was weird. I went back and checked and all the stuff I thought I deleted was still there.
I searched on the CameraZoom EX error code 2. It directed to remove and reinsert the card and reboot. I tried that. I have tried unmounting and then mounting with no success either.
My phone seems to be working fine, but I cannot delete or add anything to the microSD card (the original that came with the phone). It does not matter if I use my WIndows 7 laptop, desktop, or various file managers on the phone itself.
ANy idea what is going on?
To me, it sounds like the SD card is going bad. Not a common occurrence but it can happen. You're lucky you can still read from it... I would suggest getting a new SD card (Verizon might even give you a new one free) and copying your data to it before sectors start going bad. By the way, how did you manage to full up 32 gb?
Or I could be blowing this out of proportion and it's just a matter of write protection on the card.

Another option is to copy everything off the SD card, format it, and try to write everything back. Sometimes a format can joggle a bugged card.
It is mostly music that I have on there. I am not sure how write protection would have gotten on the microSD card or how I would remove it. It does not have a physical togge like an SD card does.
I think I may have to try re-formatting. Ugh.

Corrupted SD card. Call VZW and be nice on the phone, explain the situation, hopefully they send you a new one.
Hmmm, this is interesting. I cannot even format the microSD card. I tried to do it through Windows Explorer. It looked like it worked. I then tried to copy files back on and it choked halfway through on a movie, I think.
Anyway, what was more interesting is that when I looked at the drive again, everything was back where it originally was. So, the re-formatting must not have actually worked.
I then tried to erase the SD through the options in Android. I unmounted. I then selected Erase SD card. After rebooting (to just be safe), the SD card still is untouched.
THis microSD card has become an impenetrable force. More realistically, it must have write-protection enabled somehow as that is the only thing I can think of.
The question is how do I find out if write protection is enabled and how to disable it? Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks.
My stupid phone deleted ALL of my pictures on my SD Card. Have no idea how exactly. Yesterday I swapped my SIM card and when I went to use the camera, it gave me an error saving to the SD Card. And then next thing I know, every picture was deleted. And most messed up thing is that all my music stayed, but pics were gone.
Thankfully I back up all my pics to Google Photos, but it's going to be a pain downloading everything again...
Anyone else experience this problem??? Would like to prevent it if possible.
If you have the latest OS update (5.0.2) when you restart your phone the SD card is seen as a folder instead of partition. I have the same issue. Just take out and put back the SD card with the screen on and this will solve this bug. At least this works for me...

Why do you think the pictures are deleted? What app do you use to see the pictures? Have you taken the sd card out and looked at the contents on another device?
I'm not experiencing the problem with the deleted photos. I'm having that problem with camera saying no sd card inserted... What happened to you is very odd :| Are you sure that your photos were gone? Did you tried to put the SD card into another device to see if they are there?
EDIT: I restarted my phone 1 minute ago but the SD card bug seems to be gone :| There is something strangr with the Android 5 . If I'm experiencing the same issue again I will tell you

Hi all.
Since a couple of days I've noticed that the Sony Camera APP is not allowing me to save the pictures on the external SD Card.
Everytime I take a Picture, I get a small thumbnail with a orange circle around and if I tap on it, the image just dissapear.
This is pretty annoying as the same app asked me if I wanted to save the pictures to the SD card.
Any ideas?
I'm on latest available Custom Australian Rom rooted and with SD Write access enabled.
Thanks to all.
Did you manage to solve this? I'm experiencing a similar issue... Every time I configure the camera to use the external sd as its storage, after taking a picture, where its thumbnail should be shown, I only see a "waiting" signal and it never actually saves nothing...

did you try moving your dcim folder to SD card it has all you're pictures so be carefull. I did that six months ago and have wiped data literally 100 times since then
And it always asks me after a reset when I enter album if I want to change to SD i click yes and there has been no problems. This also is a good idea if you soft brick your phone alot like me as you won't lose your pics when doing a factory reset or flashtool.

It seem it was a problem with the SD... I replaced the SD and now works perfectly, though the previous SD is still working with other devices.
The SD card in my wife's Moto X Pure died this morning (phone is saying there is no card connected). When we first put the card in we picked the option that had the phone simply use the card as additional memory in the phone, rather than keeping the card as a separate entity where you would need to drag files. She thought that google was backing up all of her photos (including almost all of our baby photos), but when we went to recover them nothing had been backed up since we got the phone erasing 95% of the baby photos
I tried to simply take the card out and put it back in, but that didn't get me anywhere. I did a recovery on the card using disk digger and it found two very small DST files titled "Sector 420728" and "Sector 39189795," but neither one of them could be opened. The phone says that it is saving the data of the card (and keeps asking me to reinsert it), and she only had a few hundred pictures on the phone, not nearly enough to fill it up the space on the phone, so my guess is that the pictures are still on the phone but it can't access them.
I have thought about trying to copy the DST files over to another SD card and inserting that seeing if it gives the correct pathing to find the photos, but I don't know how to format it correctly originally and even if I did, if that will do more harm then good.
Anyone have any idea how to recover the pictures?
