The other day I was looking thru my pix and noticed almost all of them had been duplicated. Except, for the pix I took that day or the day before. I went thru and deleted the duplicates and found that ut deleted them all. I was able to recover them off the SD card but noticed it has happened again. Not sure if an app I'm using is causing it if what. Any ideas?

I would like to save my pictures on my sd card to an online source automatically. Is there any kind of appear or something that allows me to do that. My pics got wiped from my sd and I would like to prevent that from happening again without having to load them on my external hardrive every night.

I know that google has a couple of services for this, Google + is one of them and Picasa Photo Uploader is another. Google + will automatically upload your photos to your profile, if you set it. Picasa Photo Uploader is an app you can download.
I've used this before:

You gotta have a photobucket account, but it can be set to automatically upload images as they appear on the card. Be careful of data and battery life, though.
I use SweetHome to upload my photos to my PC when it's connected to my home Wifi.

Thanks everyone. I just started using Google+ so far I really like it.

I took a one minute video and then tried to email it. Right after that I started getting error messages that I was low on phone storage place. I had suddenly gone from 100 mb to 50mb . I deleted the email which had not been sent yet as well as the video and it still shows 50mb of disk storage.
This is the second time this happened. Seems like some file got stuck on the phone storage. The last time the only way I fixed this was to clear the phone. This time I am asking for help from you experts.
I am using HTC edge unrooted

Ok, so last night I went to my aunt's 50th b-day party. I took some pix and a couple videos. This morning I go to reveiw them, and I can clearly see them in my gallery. I open a video to watch, and then get a "sorry video cannot be played" message about 3 seconds into the video, then it's closes the video. I'm returned to my gallery where I can still see the pix and video, the the screen flashes and now I can't see any of the pix or videos .....Is there anyway or any program I can use to recover these lost treasures of mine that my phone thought I wouldn't want. I have connected both the phone and my card to my PC and cannot find the files anywhere
Are u rooted? Are you on a custom Rom

Yes I am rooted and running the blazer ROM 1.3

Have you tried transferring the files to pc or uploading to dropbox?
There have been times where i download or capture a small video and it doesn't show up in gallery until i reboot the device.
this isn't completely crazy, a friend has a Droid X and it did this exact thing to her with video and pictures... stock never rooted or anything internal memory, I've never had any issues at all with it on any of the three android devices I've had though.
I always hv the dropbox mobile upload on. With 50gb of cloud storage you should take advantage of it

I was reviewing them to see which ones I wanted to save. And while in my gallery view, the blinked and I guess reloaded itself, and all of the pix and videos from the night before, were gone. I connected the phone to my pc, and nothing....I took my sd card out and put it in my pc, and still, nothing..... It's as if they never existed

Might wanna try a file recovery program on the sd card to see if you can get them back.
Today I got my new GS4, and was going to make sure all my stuff was backed up from my GS2 before I turned on my new phone. I went into "accounts" from contacts and checked the box for "auto-sync app data" (this is the only thing I did, period, since I was viewing my photos only about an hour earlier) and then connected my phone to the PC so I could back up all my photos. When I did, all the photos "loaded" but I could not actually view them, merely their file name. So I unmounted from the PC and went into gallery on my phone, only to find every single photo, both internal and on sd was replaced with a grey box and I cant view them. I have since reconnected to my PC, and now all those folders are completely empty. If I go into gallery on my phone, it still shows my folder names with all these grey photos, but when I use a file explorer to try and view them, nothing, 0 files just like on the PC. I have NO IDEA how this could have happen, and the only link I have to something going wrong was the auto-sync box I checked. I had about 6 months of photos I didn't back up, and some VERY important and irreplaceable pics I can't get back. I was hoping someone my have an idea as to what happen/how to recover my pics. I have gone through multiple folders, and literally every single .jpg file is gone! This includes all pics taken using the camera, any screenshots I had, all photos saved from texts and websites! EVERYTHING!!!! PLEASE HELP ME GET MY MEMORIES BACK!!!!!

Define "loaded". The sdcard mounts like a hard drive, then you copy them off. Not sure how you screw that up.

When I say loaded, I mean all the file names showed up in the folder, but I could not open the picture to view it. So it looked like they were there, but the file extension didn't show as .jpg and when trying to view them it said something about how microsoft viewer was unable to display image. I never actually attempted to do the copy from phone to pc, so there was not an issue with a transfer, but something that happen prior to even connecting to the pc as far as I can tell. After disconnecting and reconnecting, however, the files don't even show as there, just says 0 files in folder when I open it. Also, its not just sd card, but literally every single file that had a .jpg extension is completely gone....this includes internal and sd, and everything from wallpapers, camera shots, pics from texts and web, everything!
You could try Disk Digger to recover the photos.
Thx for the disk digger recommendation! It was super tedious going thru over 9,000 pics of thumbnails n all kinds of bs, but I was able to get back most of my pics from the internal memory! Now just need to do it with the sd card.

Remove your external SD card and try to access the images through a card reader. Some Sammy devices have had issues playing nice with SD cards, and the resulting behavior can be similar to what you have experienced. Technical details can be found around d the web.
Hello all I rooted again recently after getting the 3 XX update from verizon.
and now that im rooted I cant get gallery to see any images in any folder except what is now taken with camera app.
any ideas.
restarted phone, cleared cache, restarted app, shut down phone and turned back on, tried different camera apps, different gallery apps....... all with same result that it will not see any of my pictures or videos I took before rooting or see any images in any other folder.
so im lost as to what to do to fix it.
Rom is OTA plus rooted is all.... nothing else was changed.
Im still a newbie but I know enough and i cant figure it out.
cheers all.
If I remember correctly, the files are stored in a different place in 4.2,2 then in 4.1.2. Do some searching to find the folder, and move your pictures there

ive tried moving folders and files..... but the issue is that the pics i have are in the same folder as the 1 pic i took once rooted..... so they are in the same folder. its like the gallery wont see anything else but what is taken from the camera now.
just stuck as to why its doing that..... had pics be seen in other folders before. i even have another folder on the root of the phone, well emulated sd card.... called Pics and it does not see those either.
noticed though that the camera does see the pics i took before but when i open the gallery to view those pics they are not there.
even booted into hboot and bootloader then restarted and still nothing.
oh and also i was already on 4.22 stock from verizon..... had some pics and a vid i took.... then rooted and now can't see pics and vid i took before I rooted.
found an answer i think
Ok think i figure out the issue.
the pictures i had on my device were not in a folder that the gallery app recognizes by default, so it was a naming issue and location issue. I moved the old pics taken with my camera before rooting to the folder labeled "Camera" and now the gallery an see all my images.
Before pics were in the folder named Camera....and now they are in a folder named 100MEDIA... very strange but happy it all ok now.
hope my issue helps someone sort out a problem if they ever have that issue like i did.
cheers all
