[Q][HELP] Camera Roll Pictures Disappeared

I had the same question in the HD7 thread. No ones that active so I shall post it here, hopefully someone can help me.
The pictures from my Camera Roll and Saved Pictures disappeared a few days ago. The Camera Roll folder was blank and once I took a new picture it appeared there.
However I then connected my phone to zune and I was able to see all the camera roll pictures in Zune Camera Roll album and the files say that its sync with the phone, but I CANT see it.
Then I went to DATE on my phone and I can see all the pictures there. The Camera Roll and the Saved Pics....any idea why it is not being showed in the respective albums and how i fix it ?

Same problem w/my Lumia 900

I have the same problem with my Lumia 900 running WP7.8. When connected to Zune, the program shows me that I have photos on my phone in the camera roll, but the camera roll on the phone shows only a few of my photos. The date section shows all of my photos. I suspect it has something to do w/syncing to Zune, but I don't know what it is causing this.
Have you figured out a solution to our problem?

Transfer pics to your PC, then delete them from the phone, then re-upload them to the phone using Zune?

The photos are getting saved to my PC via Zune each time I plug in and to Skydrive as soon as I take a photo, so I'm not too concerned that I will lose any pictures. What I want to know is why they disappear from the camera roll, but are viewable when I tap "date" from the picture hub.
The problem started a few weeks ago so I uninstalled the last few apps that I downloaded as a troubleshooting measure. I will sync w/Zune this evening and report back.

How many pictures do you estimate you have? Have you turned off your phone by removing the battery frequently? Has the phone ran out of battery frequently?
My phone recently had a problem with the loss of some settings, like groups in the People Hub, and some missing tiles. And this happened shortly after I dropped my phone, the battery got out and I were using it with low battery most of the time (I plugged it to my PC to keep it alive, and then to the car charger and then go about my life with the little heart icon on the battery icon and close to no battery).

The Lumia 900 does not have a removable battery. I have already tried rebooting the phone.

Did you ever see a little message saying something like "We're sorry, we had some troubles and some data could've been lost. Don't worry, we tried to save as much as we could. We're sorry for the inconvenience"?

I have not seen that error message. After I'm done syncing w/Zune and I unplug my phone, the photos from my camera roll do not appear. If click "date", they are there.

locked out of my Samsung Galaxy S3 which doesn't recognize gmail password

Carrier: Verizon
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3 4gLTE 32gb
Model Number: SCH-I535
OS: stock
My friend entered the pattern-swipe password too many times, which made my GS3 lock up and force me "To unlock, sign in with [my] Google account". So, I did that many times to no avail. I tried all 3 of my gmail accounts even though I know which one specifically that associated with the google play account as I had bought an application a few weeks back and found the receipt of that app in my main email. Next, I changed the passwords to all the accounts and tried them again. Then after that I changed all my passwords to strictly numerical passwords so my passwords had no letters in them as I thought perhaps my phone was auto-capitalizing the first letter of my password -- didn't work. I've turned my phone on and off multiple times, taken out the batter and sim card multiple times as well. Also, it's important to note that I attempted to log in with and without the domain name: "emailaddress" and "[email protected]" and that I assume the Wi-Fi is turned off due to the fact that manually turned it off since I was on a cruise at the time that was charging $23 per every half hour of internet... I also turned off the data inside the scroll down menu and then turned on airplane mode; however, I was able to turn off airplane mode via holding down my power button and clicking on the airplane mode button. I'm pretty sure that the data is on now, at least when I try to type in my password.
I called google: the woman told me to turn my phone on and off and to make sure I had the right password -- she was clueless
I talked to Samsung online: they told me that Verizon had unlock codes...
William: As you are unable to unlock the device with the Google account details , please contact the carrier for assistance
William: As the unlock codes are provided by the carrier
William: You can contact Verizon support at 1-888-466-4646.
I called Verizon and they said they can do a factory reset and don't have any such "unlock codes"
I've tried to access the phone with Samsung Kies, but it says that I need to unlock the phone first.
I tried accessing the phone through the my computer folder, but there's nothing inside the SCH-I535 folder.
I right clicked and looked at the properties of the SCH-I535 folder and there was no information provided (not even the file size of the harddrive).
I right clicked and tried to import movies and photos and I couldn't do that.
I tried having someone call me (I can receive calls) and quickly pressing the menu button to try to get into the phone -- that didn't work.
So yeah, I can't get into my phone.
I want to at least be able to retrieve my photos/videos from the family vacation I just went on. Is there a way to salvage them? (I didn't set up dropbox or any backup service for that matter) Does verizon backup assistant plus backup information on your phone without you having to set it up? Is the password that I need to supply the same one as my gmail password?
How can I fix this?
Someone save me.

not sure if doable, but I'd try booting into the recovery menu. It usually is done by holding a combination "volume-down + home +power" or "v-up+-home+_power". Once you get there, one of the options should be factory reset.

Wow! You've done everything. Possibly changing the password made the situation worse? It wasn't letting you in regardless. Wow... sucks about your pictures and videos... god damn thing. God damn friend.

If you're completely stock, factory reset from settings, privacy should get you back to the set up wizard or whatever its called. If rooted and custom recovery is installed, boot in to recovery and do a restore or data factory reset. Anything on your SD card should be safe.

Also, I should note that my goal here is to recover my pictures/videos. I do know that the factory reset is an option; however, that wouldn't allow me to retrieve my photos/videos as my 32g stock verizon galaxy s3 didn't come with an sd card, nor did I insert one, so all the pictures and videos are saved onto the harddrive.
Do you guys know if the harddrive is partitioned so that photos/videos are saved in the event of a factory reset?

When you connect it to your computer it should bring up a "Phone" drive, Inside that there should be a folder with all of your pictures and videos. Are you not seeing that at all?
And no, if you factory reset you will lose everything on the internal sdcard

Check your Google accounts. Every now and then, they get hacked or spammed and Google will lock them. Check the account online and perhaps re-set your password. If that doesn't work... you may be hosed.

There is a "phone" drive that pops up as "SCH-I535", and inside of this drive there are 0 items. When I look at the properties the only info it gives me are:
model name
manufacturer
firmware version
serious number
battery life percentage
Yeah, nothing really useful in there.
Thanks for the clarification on the factory reset; I have a feeling that's what I'll have to end up doing :[

can you odin CWM in then backup stuff through there?

I already changed the passwords multiple times to test that out :[

Did you happen start start Google + ? If so, then it should have stored your photos/videos in your Google + account.
Otherwise; I think you have to reset...

When I originally did my phone I used the rooted stock image image (root66) found here. The original non-rooted images are available in a different thread in the same forum.

Ok just to clarify a few things that have been mentioned in the thread:
If you don't have usb debugging enabled then your phone cannot communicate with your pc so ALWAYS enable that as soon as you get your phone even if you never plan on using it (just in case). Without usb debugging enabled you cannot use any of the backup functions in the S3 ToolKit.
You cannot access internal storage if you are locked out and cannot get past the lock screen for security reasons. If you do not have any security set then you can access internal storage by turning the phone on.
Performing a NAND backup in cwm will not back your data/media folder as it could potentially require a 16/32/64GB backup file if your whole internal storage was used up. For this reason you could not recover any data from internal storage using this method.
Performing a wipe in recovery will NOT format the data/media partition so you will not lose any data on there. I just tried it to make sure and the system is reset but everything on internal storage is still there. This was tested on a custom rom and using cwm recovery 6.0.1.0.
As you dont have usb debugging enabled then your only option to get the phone working again is to wipe from recovery. If it wipes your internal storage then I apologise but there is really nothing else you can do.

He has stated that his phone doesn't have usb debugging enabled so adb commands will not work.

Thank you so much for the help, good sir. Yeah, I made a big mistake not turning on usb debugging or setting up dropbox/google+/something of the sort. Though, I guess it's somewhat of a good thing that this happened since I was never interested in understanding how android works before. Now, I'm planning on playing around with it once I wipe it. Hopefully, it'll work. Anyway, thanks again

[Q] Gallery Issue since update

Noticed this on my GF's phone the other day, moved some pictures from one folder to another and they no longer show up in the gallery at all...the pictures that were in the second folder still show up, but nothing else.
I factory reset my phone today but copied my DCIM folder to my computer first, did the reset, and copied it back over. Now only videos show up in my gallery, none of the 200+ photos. I can take a picture and it shows up in the same folder were my pictures are, but only that new one shows up in the gallery.
Create a new folder and move them over you say? Ya...did that, still doesn't show up. I have restarted the phone and tried running Rescan Media app...neither seems to work.
Kind of the same issue with Carbon Backup App. None of my backups show being there, but if I backup something new, it dumps it in the same folder and shows up on Carbon, but not the others.
I thought about running an Error Checker using the computer, but the phone now shows up as a Portable Device, not Removable Storage like before so I can't as far as I know...
Update: I have tried clearing data on Gallery, doesn't help. Took new picture, moved that picture to another folder and check gallery and it's gone, won't show up at all. Put it back...still no dice.
Any thoughts? Anyone else able to reproduce this issue?

Okay, pulled all my pictures off my phone and onto my computer. Selected all photos, went to File>Properties, Click Details tab, Click "Remove Properties and Personal Information", hit okay on the next popup. Wait for it to do it's thing. Once done, selected all the copies and moved them back to my phone. Presto! They are all there! If I move one to another folder, either cut or copy, it won't show up. Once they are written to the phone, they have to stay where they are.
Tried to do the same with Carbon files but didn't work. Going to play with that some more...

[Q] Deleted photo recovery from internal memory

I have a Droid Razr HD Android Version 4.1.2 Build number 9.8.1q-79
Is there anyway to recover my deleted photos from my internal memory?
I lost 5 months worth of pics. This pics are very important to me.
I have tried various recovery programs using my PC but I can't get these programs to recognize my phone through a USB port.
It appears that I have to use my phone instead of my PC to recover my pics but when I try to open any recovery program that I download my phone will not open the program.
I have at least 100 pics or more that I accidentally deleted. The majority of these pics where taken at my job which I use for reference. I should have had these pics on my external card but I just plain screwed up on that move. I have been told that I should switch phone to "mass storage" but I can't get my phone to do that. Rooting my phone has been suggested also but I think that option is above my pay grade. I know just enough about computers and smart phones to get me in trouble.
If the was no way to recover pics and files I would just accept my loses and move on but recovery is possible from what I understand. I just don't know why it has to be so difficult.
Thanks in advance for any help I can get.------------------------------------------------------Joe

sorry i cant help with recovering the pics, but as far as your pc recognizing the phone, you have the latest moto drivers installed? (google search them), and you have usb debugging enabled in the developer menu?
both of those would cause your pc to not see the phone if not installed/enabled.
also there are 2 settings in the pull down menu for usb debugging when connected, if one doesnt work, try the other one.

I understand that not everything can be repaired. Contrary to what some people may think I am not frustrated at the help I have received from this site and the many others I have used. I just find it hard to believe that I am the only person who owns one of these phones that ended up with this problem. I am amazed at what this phone can do and I still am learning about all of it's capabilities. That is why I find it hard to believe that I can't access what is setting right there in my hand.
Although I am not a builder of phones by any means it seems to me that a simple recycle bin would give people a second chance after making a mistake.
Thanks for everybody's help so far. I am going to continue looking for a solution and if it is out there and I can find it I will post what I find here so others will not have to search so hard.

hope this helps.

dude, just pop your SD card in your PC using an adapter,then there are several prog that can do the job.

inside this video there is a link to an app you install on your Windows PC,
It helped me get a lot of info from my phone internal memory (which I didn't deleted by the way, it was a corruption caused by my PC )
Let me know if this helped you a bit.

search Android data recovery on Google
Some Android data recovery software can restore lost pictures from internal memory of Android phone. Here are my suggestions:
(1) Carefully check the "user manual", make sure it can support your Android phone model.
(2) Do not pay for any data recovery software unless it has found the lost photos.
Good luck!

If you use Google, you might have your pictures backed up for you. Not a lot of people put a lot of credibility in this but it's saved my butt when I wiped my phone to try the latest greatest ROM (wiped everything, including SD) forgetting I had my Korean vacation pictures on the phone. Fortunately, I allow Google to back up my pictures.
Trust me, disaster averted. Wife would have killed me dead.
That data recovery thing looks kind of fake to me, but the previous advice is good, don't pay for anything unless it can actually recover your data.

Could be a physical connection issue between the camera module and the board, but check other things first, such as removing the SD card, trying it, re-inserting it and trying again also put "Camera access failed" into our search box, there are a lot of threads about this, not just for your phone model but others. A hard reset can also be tried, but you'll lose saved data on the phone.
In the end if you conclude it must be a physical connection issue, you can try tapping around the camera but don't be too rough. Otherwise, after trying a hard reset then you'll likely need a repair shop if your not good/experienced with disassembly.
