when using my camera I can't use the gallery icon in the bottom corner of the screen, when I click it it just says "no items".
I suspect this is due to me running different firmwares such as CM7, between the different firmwares the camera gives the pictures different file names but keeps them in the same DCIM location.
Is there any software I could use to batch rename the files maybe to keep them in the same format? I'd want the dates of the photos staying intact if possible?
Please help. Thanks.
Hi...
maybe when you change your firmware you took backup all your gallery into your ext sd.
make sure that your dcim location is in your internal sd.
the gallery icon in the camera app shows only the files that are stored into your internal SD (internal storage) not at your external SD.
Try and tell me if i helped.
dcim has always been on internal sd, ive never moved it
im sure its to do with the fomat of the files, i recall having a similar issue with the camera not working on cm7. i fixed this by moving the files from dcim to a new folder and it worked straight away but i dont want to do this again...

My sister recently did a factory reset on her Xperia X10 mini.
Ever since the reset her phone keeps saying that the Sdcard is unavailable
I have tried the card in other phones and they say the same.
I connected to pc as mass storage and the folders where like this.
Is the card beyond repair as she has all her pictures on it?
Is there any way to recover the pics?
Thanks
Have you tried backing up everything on the SD card and then re-format it?

Are the data also corrupt or do they only have strange names?
If they aren't corrupt you can search for the pictures on the SD card and take them off there
it keeps saying error everytime i try opening a folder or file so im assuming its all corrupted.
All the file names have changed aswell as they were all basic folder names eg pics, music, dcim, bluetooth.
As you can see from pics that is no longer the case.
Thanks

I guess then the best is to do what andy_dunlop said: "backing up everything on the SD card and then re-format it".
You might can try as last shot to install a application to recover corrupted files.
For example: http://download.cnet.com/1770-20_4-...Name=platform=Windows&filter=platform=Windows
Although I have less experience with that so do on own risk.

I think this happens when you mix GB/ICS firmware and ROMs. Try this:

Not sure if related, but if I add photos and images to my sd card or even internal storage on my phone it doesnt show up in the gallery. I did a search on google and it led me to clearing my media storage data in the apps settings but after doing that my gallery was empty. After wuite a while, my gallery items seemed to have come back, but none of the new folders I added are showing up? If I use root explorer I can find the images and folders they are in but I can only open them from there one at a time. It wont let me share pictures or do anything with them. Is this a known issue? I'm on cleanrom de.

gallery is garbage. use quickpic from market. to fix media storage get a media scan app nut don't scan until you clear media storage first
Using an RUU and going from ICS to GB you might just need to do a factory reset from hboot and then reboot the phone and then you should be good. If that doesn't work reformat the SD card. I believe it happens because the SD card sometimes keeps the info from the previous version on there that's why you need to factory reset.

are you try to flash another recovery ?
I had the same sd card problem.
Got that resolved now.
But I have a calling problem. I try to dial and phone reboots.
**edit** - I got the phone part working. Just reflashed the kearnel package and the update to it.

Believe its an issue where mainver doesnt match hboot/fastboot and it wont allow your sdcard to mount. try this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23169557&postcount=4
Hi All,
the camera folder just wiped out after i was shooting a video, when i finished i went into the gallery to check the video and there was nothing but video and all other images and vids in the camera folder are gone.
other folders were intact only the camera folder, they are still taking place on my internal phone memory but they are not anywhere to be found. when i select all the folder to check the size it give me 4 gb, when i check the phone storage it says 7 gb used. the 3 gb are the files that i cannot see.
i tried to connect the phone to pc/diskdigger/hidden files/different gallery apps but nothing worked. hope any of u guys can help me out.
thanks in advance.
Sound like corrupt file table, backup your data and format internal storage.
If it happens again then your nand memory is probably dying.

Is there anyway to recover the data? This happend like 3 month ago and since that time im bot having any issue with intetnal memory.
I take pictures with the camera and they saved on the sd card.
when i wanted to send some of them on whatsapp i notices that i have files with "x" on them in the whatsapp add file option.
then, it's dissappear and i couldn't find the pictures at all.
it's just from specific time and the pictures before are fine.
I was looking for them at the gallary via quick pic and also via file explorer but nothig.
I tried some recover pc programs including sandisk RescuePRO Deluxe and no pictures or files at all.
I changed the option to save the pics on the internal memory and i'm scared to change it back.
I have original G5 stock rom and no root + 64gb sd card sandisk original.
Anyone knows if i can find the lost pics? it's very important to me.

root it and try disk digger but what ever you do dont do a lot on the device as downloads and such can overwrite the file locations where the pictures where.
it's in the DCIM folder.
and i prefer not to do root cause then the warranty will cancele.
Screenshots taken on POCO F1 are getting stored under "DCIM\Screenshots".
Google Photos is automatically backing up all the folders under DCIM thinking it's the camera roll.
So all the screenshots are getting automatically uploaded to Google Photos.
Is there any workaround for this? Is anyone else facing this issue?
I do not known if this can be called "a workaround", but after installing SD card you can instruct camera to save photos on SD card, by doing this you separate actual photos (on SD card) from screenshots (still saved in internal memory) and then it should be possible to switch off back-up of internal DCIM folder.
In Google Photos Settings > Back up & Sync > Back up device folders > choose the ones you want to backup
Oh, i got what you meant.... Yep, got the same problem, haven't found any workaround except maybe using third party apps to take screenshots.

"switch off back-up of internal DCIM folder" - is not an option in google photos
I was hoping that after change of default camera folder, internal DCIM folder will be treated as any other folder, where you can switch of-on Google Photos backup. I was able finally to do some tests on Sunday and unfortunately, I was wrong. Even with default camera folder on SD card, internal DCIM folder is still treated as camera folder, without possibility to no backup.
Have you tried creating ".nomedia" named file inside the said directory? Do try that, it should work.
Whenever I get new phone, I create these files in all directories from where I wouldn't want my whatsapp photos, music, ringtones to show up in gallery, photos and music apps.
You can use ES manager to create that. Just go to the required folder, create new > select text and rename it to ".nomedia" without quotes. As the name starts with a period, it becomes a hidden file and won't show up.

Edit: I tried it myself and it doesn't work. Maybe nomedia file should exit under DCIM but then it will probably stop new photos showing up in photos app.
.nomedia doesnt work.
. nomedia file works for the phone gallery but not for Google photos. Either Google allows lets it's users to unselect DCIM subfolders or Xiaomi moves its screenshot folder out of DCIM.
I really wonder why the developers are not doing anything about it.
This is so damn true. God knows when Xiaomi gonna fix this matter. Why more people are not raising voice for this issue I've no idea.
If it is causing such anguish and trouble, why don't all of you raise it in mi forums where Xiaomi developers are sure to see it?
