When I saved photos from my camera of Galaxy A8 on external memory card, l lost photos which were saved before, presently I can see about 67 photos by Gallery's apps, other 93 I cannot open. The same problem I have got with video files, Aldo made by smartphone's camera. I have tried open photos from the memory card on another device, but without success. I can not understand where is problem either my A8 or memory card (32 GB). I have bought my A8 recently in Hong Kong. Could you help me recovery lost photos (all are on memory card)

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
Hmmm....
I would do two things right off the bat...
Load the MicroSD card in a PC and use a disk tool (TestDisk may work) to recover the files.
Try taking a bunch of photos on a different MicroSD card inserted in the A8 to rule out the A8 as the problem.
If it turns out the other MicroSD tends to corrupt photos as well, then create an XDA account (so you can post in other forums), and post in the following thread:

Hope this helps, and good luck!

Hello, I have a Jiayu G4S phone (1GB RAM/4GB ROM version). It has android 4.2.2 and by default it uses only external SD micro card for saving files (photos, music, ebboks, downloads from internet,...). Internal memory is used for installing apps, but that can be changed to external memory. I used to have SD micro card inserted and everthing worked ok. But then my SD card reader stopped recognizing SD card. I sent phone back for repair, but they did not repair it (although they say they did). I tried different cards in phone, but they don't work. Some are not recognized at all, some are recognized with message, that SD card is corrupted and I should try formatting. When I try formatting, nothing happens. I tried MTK Eingineer Mode - SD card test...but it says there is no card in phone. Is there anything else I could do to fix that myself?
Because if I send it back again I will have to be without phone for another month or two and I can't do that...
I was also thinking - is there a possibility I could make my phone save files to internal memory instead of external SD card?

I am having Gionee s5.1 phone with 16GB storage (no SD Card support) running on 4.4.2 Android version. The phone storage divided into 2 sections:
6.25 - This is called Internal Storage. Android version is installed on this with pre installed applications.
9.75 - This is used for media storage and currently no file or images in this storage.
I have uninstall all the unnecessary applications (Pre-installed) from the phone and keep only Cleanmaster, Whatsapp, Facebook Messagner and imo. I have automatic update of apps is off as well as from google play store.
Now the problem is, when I bought this phone it has around 2.3 GB space available and a week back, with above configuration and application, it shows mes only 471 MB space left. I have gone through each and every application manually and removed the cache also used Cleanmaster for the same but no help.
Someone told me to do Factory Reset to resolve this and I do last week. At that time my internal storage back to 2.63 GB free of 6.25 GB allocated and I am happy. Again I configured my phone with above software and disabled the auto update of apps from google apps a week ago. Today, when I go to Settings -> Storage, it shows only 400 MB space left of 6.25 GB. I am not sure what to do and how to deal with this situation. I googled solutions to deal with it like root the phone (King root used) and use Link2SD or App2SD to move the apps but those app said SD partition not mount. I tried minipartition wizard to partition for 9.75GB as shown on the various blgs, but my phone shows message of Corrupted SD Card. No luck... :crying:
Can any one let me know how can I merge internal storage (6.25 GB) with phone storage (9.75 GB) to use the phone without any issue?
Or
How can I use the Phone Storage as Internal Storage and move applications to Phone storage?
Urgent help is greatly appreciated...

Hi there, I have formatted my micro mini sd card a lot of times, a few quick formats and a few hard formats. I've tried to erase all data on sd card is well, still shows files on card. When I view my photos I've captured it comes up like a paint brush brushing over my entire photos grey. Then it says sd card unmounted. If I turn phone off and back on, I go into my gmail to save images and then my images come up corrupted once I view them in my gallery. Takes a while to load. I've tried the regedit stuff, disk management stuff, disk list stuff. Haven't found any of those to work. I have a 32gb micro sd card in a Sony Xperia Arc S LT18i. Please help.

I need help desperately.
Phone: Moto X Play - Android 6.0.1
Today I took a couple photos and as it was writing on the SD card, the card suddenly stopped working. I have all my photos I am desperate to get off the phone.
The SD card has been formatted as internal storage or adoptable storage and can only be read by the one cell phone.
There is an error message that comes up saying, please insert Lexar SD Card. When I reboot the phone it finds the card and attempts to mount it for about 1 min then stops and says 'card not inserted'.
I've tried this card in another android phone and it detects and reads but can't load because it has been formatted as internal storage for a different phone.
I've tried to read it on the PC, but it is not formatted in a way that PCs can read it.
I've tried to erase the internal cache.
Please I am really desperate for any ideas to extract the photos from this card - they are very valuable to me and unfortunately I haven't backed up the most recent family trip photos.
A saving grace is that I have the high res versions (not full res) backed up on google photos, but I would really like the originals for printing.

Hello guys! I recently bought a gionee P5W,the phone is really good looking and a fast tasker. However I am facing a problem the external sd card(16gb) is being shown as sdcard0 however it should be sdcard1 also all the system files from camera images,Bluetooth files to apps downloaded from third-party appstore everything is being stored in this external sd card also there are certain apps which are caches & data in both internal & external storage at this rate my external sd card run out of space I use that card in multiple devices so I can't afford that also in case I remove it some stop working. When I checked in settings and the phone's bundled file explorer there the external sd card was shown as external storage but can't find any way to correct this. Also this all started after I removed external sd while the phone was running, and when I put it back error was shown "sd card damaged
Please format to use" but I continued without formating I think this info will useful to ones who may try to solve problem . I will tell about my phone, its a gionee P5W with 1gb ram, 1.3ghz quad-core arm 7, and android lollipop
