Hi everyone. First time poster hoping to get some guidance. I was moving all of my photos to my SD Card via the Gallery to free up space on my Verizon Note 3.....900+ photos....during the transfer I accidentally pressed the home button and for whatever reason the phone rebooted..
Once it started up all of the photos were gone. Also the storage on my device has about 7gb more space now. I've tried some cursory research to attempt recovery but from what I've foind it helps if you don't take photos before trying to restore....well I've needed to take photos since then.
Is there any saving these? Thanks all.

hello, i searched the forum for an answer to my problem, but i didn't found any. i have tytn2 with 16gb sandisk memory card. its almost full and i have very important data in my micro sd card. today i was taking many photos. after taking a photo my phone hang up for few minutes, and my mistake was, that i soft reseted it with my stylus, while it was saving the photo. and then there was no storage card. even my computer can't read it. i don't know what to do my data is very important i have 10gb information, music, photos, video ect.
Does anyone knows, how to fix it, i don't want to format it and to lose my data, i can't take it
Thank you, if You have any questions let me know!
You need to get your hands on a recovery software package. They exist, and you should be able to save your stuff. There was a poster about a week ago who was trying to permanently remove critical files from two 4 gb cards that he was selling, and he said that even after multiple re-formats, the recovery program could get the files. Sorry, I don't know the name of the software, but if you go back through my last 50 or so posts in my profile, you'll find the thread.
Also, back your card up! Mine gets corrupted like clockwork, and I re-format it about once a month. The last time was after taking a picture, too (I didn't soft reset, though).
Thank You!
My phone is a AT&T Galaxy S3, rooted, running M11 (cm11). I have NO sd card in the phone. The internal storage capacity is about 12 GB.
During a recent trip, I used the phone as a storage device, i.e. transfer files from my Canon camera to my phone regularly. I stored about 5GB of files (mostly pictures & videos) from my Canon camera to my Galaxy S3 during the past week during my trip. At the end of the trip, the phone had about 1GB internal storage left.
This afternoon, I copied another big file (a DVD file) to the S3 internal storage, that left only about 400MB of space. I thought that might be too low, so I deleted some apps to free up spaces, it leaves about 700MB space after that.
Then I was going to copy those 5GB pictures & videos from S3 internal storage to my PC, the copy keeps failing. I tried rebooting the phone -- after rebooting, A LOT of my files are gone. Now, the phone has 9GB space left! Looks like a lot of files/folders are gone, it does not appear any apps are gone.
Any one has any idea what might go wrong, obviously, my main concern is to recovery those 5GB pictures & videos from my last trip. Note that those 5GB pictures & videos are originally not in DCIM folder, I put them in a separate folder in the phone.
Since I noticed the lost files, I've stopped using the file to avoid any more writing to the phone. Also, since I've never used a SD card with this phone, I believe it should have nothing to do with LOST.DIR issue. TIA!
I used Disk Digger and it recovered most of the pictures, although MP4s seems mostly corrupted after a few seconds of play. Wish there is a way to recover all, still puzzled at how this all happened..
Hi all
Today i took my Samsung 64GB SD card out of my Samsung Note Pro 12.2 (after unmounting the card first of course!) and put it in my Xperia Z3, but upon viewing the contents of the card I see that 99% of the photos, videos and music that was on there has been deleted. The card shows as having 59.9GB free space. The data that I have lost totals roughly 40GB.
Also, the folder names have been altered, for example "music" has become "music.7" and "photo" has become "photo.3".
Can anyone explain why this may have happened, and if there is a way of recovering the data?
Since the data loss i havent used the card, aside from putting it back in the Note Pro 12.2 in the hope that the data would show on this device. It didnt.
I would be gutted if there is no way of retrieving my family photos and videos.
And yes, i know I you'll all say i should have backed up, but funnily enough I took the card out of the Note Pro 12.2 to begin doing just that! how ironic.
If it didn't work in the z3 I'd have put it back in the note to retrace my steps. Files don't just disappear without cause. I always turn my device off when I pull the card. Plus being that it's "android", could there be a (godforbid) sync issue?

hmm, well as i said above I did just that. Saw that the z3 showed an almost blank card and put it back in the note.
Aside from the data loss I am also intrigued how the folder names became changed from the moment just before I unmounted the card to when i put it in the z3. What on earth would have caused that?!
Sorry to hear that really. Tbh, it has to be a note issue being that when you unmounted and removed it that is when it happened. I would go through all it's settings to see if it or an apk installed has some weird permissions. Don't you just love android? I find it fascinating if not quite the child-like OS. Not enough transparency or control whatsoever.
afaik android doesn't have many issues with viruses but it might have been one.
or
the files are stored to a cloud and aren't on your card but online somewhere (an app uploaded them for you)
or
the files have been compressed (unlikely since i don't believe you can compress 50gb to 10gb)
anyways, you can try several sd card recovery tools

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.
Hey everyone
So my other half recently had an android device with the micro sd set as internal storage
The phone has broken down on her and now I can’t seem to get the photos off the sd card
There are loads of photos on there from our first holiday and such so I was wondering if there is any way to get them back.
I have got the phone up and running again but it won’t read the SD
Also she didn’t have a google account linked at the time (she used aptoode)
If encrypted, it means you have a password. Then, if rooted, use an app like Disk Digger, to get your photos back. If...
