Hi All,
All of a sudden google photos has stopped working and i can never get it work , i have searched around the net and tried almost all of the solutions, still no go, it wont fetch photos from photos.google.com nor it would back up photos, it gets stuck in "getting photos", sometime it gets past but does not download the photos from cloud.
I tried google photos in my old note 4 and it works great there, so i added google photos in my secure folder of s8 plus and to my surprise it works perfectly in secure folder but from secure folder it is not able to backup photos , i gave up and did a full reset of my phone and unfortunately even after a full reset , still its not working .. WTF!!!!!
i am not sure what is going on, can someone help please
If your pictures are in the sd card DCIM folder move them to internal DCIM folder and try un-mounting the sd card and see if this works. I have to un-mount sd-card everytime I want to backup, I've notified Google of this but they don't seem to care.
Thanks but my pics are only in Internal memory DCIM folder.

It doesn't matter, un-mount your sd card to see if Google Photos starts to find your photos. It will also backup if you have new photos. It happened to me and even after a reset it would get stuck on getting photos.
Wow this definitely worked , but what is the problem though, can i not have the SD card mounted for google photos to work?
Anyone have any workaround for the SD Card issue

Hello guys! I have a Samsung Galaxy s3 rooted device and have a problem! I'm using Titanium Backup to backup all apps and datas and a week ago my Gallery app started crashing and/or blocking, blocking the whole device and I couldn't get why...it was really boring and i trying something i shouldn't have had to...I uninstalled the gallery app with titanium backup as I thought i could reinstall it from the backup, but now it's not possible to recover it anymore!
I've even tried to do a factory reset, but it didn't work either!
Can someone help me please!? I don't have a gallery app anymore!
Plus, I have problems writing on the memory card on my s3 and don't know why..i can't copy files from pc to mobile sd, like if it was blocked from writing...anyone?
for your gallery problem:
download quickpic.
its a million times better than the normal gallery. if you see the advantages of qucikpic you will never miss the normal gallery.
for your memory card:
try to plug it into the pc. maybe via an adapter.
if the problem is not there via directly plugged into the pc then tell me and i look into it further
if the problem is also there via plugged in:
maybe try to copy all data from SD to PC and format the SD card.

thank you for answering..I've tried quickpic and it is good, it's true..but what bothers me is that all the incorporated links in the apps to the gallery are missing, like for example the link in the camera app to the gallery to check the pic you've just taken is missing...
Hi everybody,
i have a problem with my Samsung S Advance with JellyMOD 4.0 and cocore kernel 6.0.
last day i lost all my camera photo, i don't know how, why...
fortunally i restore my camera photos with diskdigger. ( i use a lot of times the stock camera )
now my question is:
1) can i save my camera photos in phone memory and sd card memory in the same time? like a raid.
so when i get a new photo, this photo will be stored in 2 different place and the risk to lost all one more time is zero.
2) i tried also to select external micro sd in stock camera but in option or settings in camera, i can select only internal memory phone, i don't understand why, i tried to formatted micro sd, wipe cache, wipe dalvik without success, but in settings and memory i can see my micro sd empty and with a file manager i can explorer my sd, put files etc, so it works... strange
i hope that someone can help me, i won't use apps lik dropbox that store my personal photos in internet, i take care about my privacy.
Hello,
I suggest you create a backup of your pictures you take using your phone camera on your computer in case this happens again. Your camera photos should be located in the default DCIM folder. I understand how weary you are of using Dropbox, but I've found the service to be very safe for remotely storing your data. Currently, I'm using Google Drive to back up my things.
I recommend you give it a try.
My DCIM folder weirdly became empty for some reason after I plugged my phone into my computer to download some photos.
I took some 20 or 30 pictures today and thought I had them in my DCIM folder. As I reached home and tried to copy them to my computer, I found that the DCIM folder was completely empty. I tried to search my gallery on my phone but it couldn't find any photos that were camera taken either. I took 1 or 2 photos to see if it stores them and it does. Right in the DCIM folder.
Before this happened, I know I checked my gallery for camera taken pictures yesterday and they were there. I am almost positive that it happened sometime between me starting to take photos today and the time I arrived home and plugged it in.
I am wondering what might cause such a thing to happen. None of my other data on either the phone storage or the SD card is missing from what I can notice, just the DCIM folders are empty. My phone is rooted and changed some system apps, deleted some, added some. I am wondering if this could be something related to memory management of the Camera app, which is the default one.
I think, but I am not completely sure, that as I was taking the photos I could notice the remaining photos count dropping and when I reached home, even though the DCIM folders were empty, the number didn't rise back.
What's even weirder is that I used a data recovery tool from the web and it did indeed find some deleted files on both my sd card and my phone storage but not one single picture of the ones I took.
Any ideas? Has this ever happened to you? Any possible solutions, maybe?
Thanks,
Fred
Update
I found the pictures. I am not sure if they're all of them but I believe so. They were in my LOST.DIR folder, for some reason.
Can you guys think of an explanation for which all of my DCIM contents got moved to LOST.DIR? Also the extensions on all of them was lost. They were files without extensions, like text files in Linux. I had to run a for command in shell to rename them all.

Explanation: You did not safe unmount the storage from your computer, thats why the files were declared as "lost/broken" and moved to LOST.DIR ....
you're right. I totally did not do that. thanks

Hey I've been having some problems with my DCIM folder too. yesterday I connected my Note 3 neo to my PC(running elementary OS) and it showed that DCIM folder was empty, but since it took up almost all of the device storage, I moved that empty folder to my PC and boom! 10 GB freed from my device:good:. But DCIM still empty. And now I can't get those photos and videos back even after moving them back to device.
Can anyone explain what just happened with me and how to fix this?
As the title says...
for some reason my p3110 has stopped seeing photos and mp3s on the physical sd card...
can browse to the directory of mp3s and play them and quickpic sees photos fine(just not stck app)... If I move mp3s to internal tabs sees them just for some damned reason not on sdcard!!!
Have reformated the card and tried another card and still no joy...
on stock rom rooted and modified with agni kernel...
worked fine till yesterday.

About 6 months after I bought mine GT-P3113, it stopped reading the SD card (PNY) for no apparent reason, not just photos or music, any files. I could still read the card on my PC (Windows Vista). I backed up the files and reformatted the SD card (32 GB). The Tab 2.0 would not read that card even after reformatting. I copied the files to a new disk (Sandisk), and haven't had problems in over two years. I never modified the Stock ROM however. I recall reading complaints of spontaneous SD cards problems with Samsung products. My wife has a Galaxy Tab 3, and I have had a Galaxy S3 phone for around 2 years without any SD card problems. What I did learn from the experience was to back up the Tablet/Phone periodically. I do so about every month.
The only thing I can think of for the music and photos problem is that the apps need to "refresh" somehow.

I ALWAYS do back ups..All of my devices auto back up twice a week..
I agree with the refresh issue... But seem's no way to do it...Tried a few appsa on market but none work.

I found this solution. Practical if it is discovering a new directory, not if you need to do it for every new file.
How to refresh the gallery in Android
Posted on December 22, 2012
I was facing a problem on my Samsung Galaxy S2 where the gallery was not showing the photos that were present in a certain folder. While trying to share some pics on Whatsapp I realized if Gallery cannot see them, you cannot share them. Well now I had to figure out what can be done.
While searching the net I found out the following steps to work properly for me.
Go to settings – apps – gallery
Clear cache, clear data, force close
Go to settings – apps – media storage
Clear cache, clear data, force close
Hard reset (cold boot) this will not delete any data
Next time you open Gallery it may not contain anything, but give it a minute while the system is still scanning the device & you will find that only the folders you want to be visible, are visible.
This has been quoted directly from this site
Props to janner43 for his solution / trick.
If you are not comfortable (or do not understand the steps) you might want to consult someone who knows more about Android or the reseller from whom you got your phone. I am not responsible in anyway if your device starts acting weird. Use at your own risk.
I have had problems with photos too. I discovered that if I create new folders on the sdcard and copy the photos into the new folders I can see them. I know that it seems too easy but it has worked for me several times.

What the hell is this cloud crap on my S7
i like my files to be either on my my memory card or on internal storage. plugged in USB cable to get pics off my phone and nothing was there, all my folders were empty
so some webpage says disable cloud, and now all my pics are gone completely what the hell!
then i tried to free up my memory card and moved a 2GB music files folder to internal storage and now theyre all hidden or disappeared
what the hell
and i cant delete folder off my internal storage now
my whole routines are now sickened and ive lost data
is there anyway to restore deleted pics off this cloud thing
S7 Nougat
I hate that. I know Verizon Cloud will do that and Google Photos as well. There may be copies there so you might still be able to access them. You should be able to switch off that functionality so it doesn't happen again. Sorry I don't have more specific instructions.
