Try taking your sdcard out and putting it back in again.

Download a free gallery app from the market and see if your pictures show up with that. If not you can always access them with a file manager like Linda Manager. The pictures should be in /sdcard/DCIM/100 Media.

unless u wipe ext as well (assuming ur on app2sd)
I know that when you have apps2sd on a 2.1 Rom and then flash to a froyo one, it'll tell you to reformat your SD to fat32 with no partitions. You said you didn't have apps2sd tho, so that's kinda troubling. When you mount your phone to your computer does the SD come up?

ive mentioned this on another thread but this has happened to my eris once a few weeks ago and twice on an old samsung non android about a year ago and if it gets deleted either a.) an application wrote over it (?) or 1 of 2 things a verizon employee told me that it could be the sd card getting too hot that it wipes it or theres a short in a power cord somewhere that could have caused it thats why i sync pix to my computer every time i use it lol
ok thats just great FML
I recently installed Plants vs Zombies on my phone(SD card) so it takes only 700k of phone memory but as i progressed in my game the data part kept on increasing and now its 16mb (only got 30mb left of phone space) so is there any way to move the data part to sd card???
Have you tried app2sd?
it transfer apps only not data
use command cachesd. btw the game is so addictive and working well with optimus one.
wat command plz elaborate..
ya i was surprised to see it run so smoothly

Was for free on Amazon yesterday, IIRC... See http://android.modaco.com/content/s...tore-from-outside-the-us-including-paid-apps/ if it helps, you cannot d/l anything from Amazon without credit card info even when they give it out for free. Stupid, I just tend to ignore Amazon.
Well do you know where i can get it free?

[MOD](recommended)Team Infernal Presents l Swap sdcard & Is Now Reversable l All Roms
This is a flashable zip i made for you to mount the microsd as /mnt/sdcard and the internal sdcard of this phone as /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd
Instructions:
Just flash it
Requirements:
HtcDev unlock
Custom recovery
Ps: I also posted this in general before because my thank meter was on 0 so i couldnt post in development

Nice thanks for this all we need is root now I'm so tired of not being able to use my SD card for anything but media
If the root method you are helping me with works you can just place the vold.fstab on system/etc yourself, glad to be helping

As I stated, I can already use it for everything and Im still not rooted and still locked. I can move downloaded files to it, I can easily access anything on the SD card.
oh yes sir you can ''use'' it but all apps are automatically installed to the ''sd card'' (internal hard drive)
will reflashing undo the swap?
Good question for those wondering this mod (I guess its a mod) works

Flashing the original vold.fstab will reverse this. So, yes, reflashing will undo it.
As soon i finish exams ill make a flashable zip to reverse it

This mod is wonderful. I like knowing that if my phone's internal memory fails (or if I accidentally wipe it), I can just pop out my SD card because it has all my important data. For me, one of the benefits of most Android phones over the iPhone is the removable memory! And only about half of the apps I use were able to default to using the external card when the internal one was present and mounted first. Switching them solves that.

Not necessarily. Coming from the Nook Tablet forums, this has been an issue that has been debated for some time. When you want to write quickly to a card you are better off with a higher class. However, if you need to read from a card, i.e. running an app or a whole OS, or booting off of into a recovery, higher rated cards don't mean faster read rates. Some lower class cards have a higher read rate. There is a discussion about this in the Nook Color forums and is hit on sometimes in the Nook Tab forums, sorry I don't have a link though.
IMHO Sandisk class 4 have the highest performance for reading from. This may not apply though, once you go to a bigger cards; 16G or 32G - I've only had personal experience with 4G cards.
i didn't see any priors threads to this so i am asking is this possible i don't see any options in the app managment section and app2sd card pro didn't work do custom roms have this if so i will be rooting asap. EDIT: Looks like i have found a way around it those of you interested in moving big data to sd card, app does require root but works flawlessly in my experience so far http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:com.slf.ListglApp

It is there you may not have searched with the correct terms.
Apps2sd hasn't really worked in a while on a lot of phones. Least that I have owned.
If you flash a custom ROM you can do an SD card swap. So if you had a 32GB mem card it would become your "internal" and your 16GB would become the "external"

Though I haven't tried it yet, there are reports that directory bind works on the note 2 in a similar fashion. I hope this is true because the nand in the phone is much quicker than a card.

I can confirm that Directory Bind does work providing you're on a non-4.2 rom. Android 4.2's new multi-user feature causes Directory Bind to not properly mount apps to the external SD card.

I have an external SD card that I keep the latest version on, and move the old versions to my PC and keep them there until I get rid of the device. If my ROM devs come out with a new version, I download it to my PC, check the MD5 to make sure it downloaded correctly and then after it runs cleanly for a week or so with no major issues I move it to my phone and install it. Then after it runs cleanly on my phone for a week or so I move my backup of the old ROM and Nandroid I did before loading the new ROM, to my PC for as long as I feel it's necessary. I'll eventually delete them from my PC when they get real old and I'm sure I won't want to use them again. But I do keep a backup of the original software the phone came with or anything else I think is significant.
Anyway, that's what I do but I'm old and anal about this kind of stuff. If you talk to 100 people about this you will get 100 different responses.
Good Luck!
If I've helped, please hit the thanks button.
I do just about the same as the guy above me. I'll move older backups to a computer so I'm not filling my internal/external storage. I generally keep one back up on my external as well as Roms I have downloaded. It would be less time consuming to move files with a computer than downloading what you need. Tw backups are larger than the ROM itself in my experience.
I don't have a computer all I have is my Gs5 to use to do this with?what storage apps do you guys mostly prefer to download ROMs,apps,pics,etc to Google drive,mega,Dropbox,box,etc.Because on my Gs5 I usually have 2,3 ROMs backed up on my device and I want to move the ROMs,apps,etc to a storage for I can free up space on my device. And then whenever I can always move a backed up ROM from my storage and reinstall them onto my device. What's the fastest, easiest most convenient way to do this. Thanks In advance!!!

Honestly, if you don't have a computer its probably better to get a higher capacity SD card. I don't download loads of Roms. If I feel the need to test one I'll backup, flash, test, then keep or delete the file based on my experience.
All my photos are backed up to Dropbox, as well as videos. I try to keep as many things as possible on the external card to keep the system running smoothly. I'd also suggest maybe keeping another micro SD with all the things you want on it.
Backing up things online usually requires you to download them again to access them, which to me, is inefficient. You'd also need to find a site that hosts large files. I don't know much how much help I am, but I'd try to get at least a 64gb card if you don't have a PC. I have over 40 gigs of backups alone on my computer.

Go to your dropbox app and use the upload function. You might have to zip the file first . I know google drive will do it automatticly , Then when you want to put it back on your device just unzip it first or just extract it once its on your device.
