[Q] Moto G Camera and Gallery last ver. 27/3/15 - lost pictures - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am having the following problem:
After updating Motorola Gallery from Google play, my pictures have disappeared from the Gallary application.
The pictures are in the phone since I see them with the explorer.
New pictures (after the update) are showing fine (but not the old one.
Does some has an idea what can be done or on which directory should a move them?
My directory is showing
sdcar/dcim/camera/my perosnal sub directories and pictures.

It did not work,
I only deleted the application cache and rebboot the phone.
Still showing a small square in the middle "Camera" that when pressed activates the camera.
This is the same for Camera Roll, Albums and Videos.

Thank you
Clean everything in Galley AND Camera.
Reboot >> result NONE POSITIVE
BTW: do you know where the pictures should be? (re directory)

The directories that you posted is good (all normal)
Try looking for files named .nomedia in those folders (and delete them) or try to move the folders somwwhere else and delete app cache and data and try again
Also, go to sdcard/android/data and delete a folder named
com.motorola.MotGallery2
Or something similar

Hi,
I did what you said and it did not work.
In addition I tried several things:
1. Cleared cache and data, stopped the application, and retrieved to the original app that is 200.....
it did not work.
2. Cleared cache and data, stopped the application, updated through google play,
Next took a picture (to verify the destination that the Camera was saving the picture), and the Gallery showed it.
Open a new directory an moved old and new pictures to it. (the new picture disappeared)
Cleared cache and data, reboot the phone and copied the pictures into the original destination
None showed in the Gallery (neither the new one)
3. Cleared data, changed the date to yesterday, (to see if it is a matter of date), reboot, but nothing good.
4. Checked the path on the root: storage/emulated/0/dcim and it is ok.
Any new idea? Thx

I found the problem and managed to see the pictures.
A use ES Explorer as a File Manager.
In ES EXPlorer I whent to settings/display settings/show hidden files.
next I followed your first suggestion:
searched for files ".nomedia" and found 3 this time, I deleted all 3
I deleted the directory: com.motorola.MotGallery2
but still I could not see the pictures
I moved the pictures out of the "camera" directory and placed them under DCIM.
cleared data
reboot.
and bingo.
Thank you very much for your time.
I'll give you a

[SOLVED] video upload freezes phone

Hi. First let me say that the search index is being rebuilt so I couldn't search to see if this has already been addressed. My issue is that I was in Quickpick --> share -->youtube to upload video and it gets stuck there. Phone completely freezes up. Tried reboot, recovery - dalvik & cache wipe, can't even finish connecting it to USB/computer before it starts trying to upload, thus freezing phone. I've only got about 30 sec. once phone starts up to do anything, and that's media scanning. Tried the 1-click kill but it won't work until media finishes scanning, and once media finishes scanning it automatically starts trying to upload again. This happened before and I could only re-flash the ROM (yeah, I forgot and made the same mistake ). I just don't have a current backup this time (I have older backups though) so I'm trying to avoid that mess.
Does anyone know a trick to stop that damn upload from re-trying automatically? I wish I could remove either Quickpick or Youtube apk and see it that doesn't stop it... Ideas?
If you are on GB (and sigs don't lie) , you can boot recovery, run the infuse toolkit, then use the aroma file manager and navigate to the following two locations to remove both youtube and quickpic apks:
/system/app
/data/app
(you may need to delete youtube in both places)
once deleted, wipe dalvik and reboot.
If the problem persists boot recovery then try moving or deleting the file you were trying to share.

Zen, I think I love you. That's exactly the kind of idea I was looking for. Thank you!!!

Deleting youtube apk solved issue. (Also deleted file.) Thanks again Zen!

Was this a paid app you got or an app that offered backup/recovery of files? You might check the app owner's site or information page for more details on that. There are so many vault gallery apps, hard to say which you have.
i already get all hidden files just unnistall all gallery vault and gallery vault key pro and jus copi the .thinkyeah folder to the sdcard then reinstall the app and thas it
any solution? same problem for me ..

I suggest you go into the .think yeah folder, then you'll see some blank files. Click rename, then change the file extensions to .jpg , might take some time if you have a lot of photos in there, but give it a try.
i have not encrypted the hidden files and how to unhide my photos
The files are hidden. So just unhide it.

It depends on whether your device has certain settings and whether you enabled them or set them up before you lost the phone. Try this

Go to system settings>apps, find gallery if it's there then clear cache and data. Then try again.
If that doesn't work, boot to recovery and wipe cache, if you have custom recovery wipe dalvik/ART cache also then reboot and try again.

Where is the pin saved, which file? Surely if you want to 'get in' you can install it clean, set your pin, then move this file overwriting the 'locked' one and it'll use your pin, right?

Follow these steps
If you're an Android user, follow these steps to restore photos and/or videos from Vault to your device:
Open the Vault app.
Tap Photos or Videos.
Tap the Menu button on your phone > then tap Manage Photos or Manage Videos.
Find the Photo(s) or Video(s) that you'd like to restore and tap to select.
Tap Restore.

And also I check out my SD card folder in that the .think yeah folder is also empty. Now how can I see my encrypted photos ??? And how can I unhide it... Please anyone give me a right solution..

[Q] android.media.process force close

i'm trying to restore my photo/video "backup" (simply drag and drop the camera folder from pc to phone) but after few seconds the transfer freeze and sometimes a pop-up appear with this message "android.media.process has stopped" so i can't restore my photo...
i've tried with single large files (2 or 3GB for each file) and all works great, i can restore my apk backup, my games backup ecc... the only thing that don't work are the photo.
reading on the net i have found different methods and i have tried to:
- wipe cache and dalvik, fix permission and reboot..... nothing has changed
- clear data in app->android media process..... nothing has changed
- return to stock 4.4.2 build... nothing has changed
- return to stock without configure google account.... nothing has changed
how can i resolve this problem? can someone help me?
with ftp it works... so, is this a bug of android or my device needs RMA?

Suddenly Empty Gallery

Hi all,
yesterday, out of the blue, I had this problem: any gallery app won't find any image. for example, Motorola Gallery prompts me to snap a photo with the camera. If I do so, the picture I've just taken is shown in the gallery, but just that one, even if it is saved in the SAME folder as the older ones.
What should I do?
I've already tried to:
Reinstall Motorola Gallery
Install another gallery
Reboot the phone in safe mode (I've asked MotoCare and I've been told to do this, but in safe mode the launcher keeps crashing and I can't do anything)
Now I'm copying everything from the phone, then I'll delete all the image folders and copy them back.
MotoCare suggested to perform a Factory Reset, which I won't do
Any ideas?
Thanks

[help] Camera gallery shortcut shows all the images on the phone after Nougat update.

Hello, guys!
I updated my OS to Nougat via Odin, making a clean install. Before the update when I go to camera and press on the bottom right corner, on the gallery shortcut I will only see images taken from my camera app (or one located in /DCIM/Camera/).
Now after coping back all my images on the phone, when I go to camera and press on this gallery shortcut I can not only see all the apps no matter in which directory they are, but also the one that are hidden in folder with .nomedia file in it.
Any suggestions? Any help will be appreciation!
Thanks in advance!
