Hi there. I'm not sure how it happened but I woke up this morning, went into my phone gallery to find 4 folders full of images had vanished from my sd card and I have no idea how. is there any way I could maybe get them back?

Do you find them on sdcard through file manager?
Try the app named undelete from market
they're not on the sd card either.
I tried undelete and actually found some, if not all in the list but may have ****ed that up, cos when I restored them, they weren't in the gallery because the folders they were originally in were deleted. I didn't even know to specify a folder.. so are they lost for good now?

After the latest update on my phone (multi-touch) I am missing photos from my SDcard. Anybody know why?
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
Afaik the update should not have messed with SD card files unless there were some stored on the phone itself maybe?

Same like me, after update 2.1 update-1, I lost my few picture on sd card

Are you sure that they're not just in another folder and you've "misplaced" the folder? the fw update won't touch your SD card.
I had several pics vanish after I initially updated to 2.1. I never really thought much about it at the time, and it's never happened since.

100% sure. every folder had pictures deleted from it, some more than others. And stupid me I didn't back them up because I thought no way the SDcard will get touched. That'll learn me. :-(

My pictures are all still under /sdcard/DCIM/100ANDRO
I actually thought that I had deleted it myself... but you are right... they have disappeared..
I was going to open a thread about this same curious issue. Yeah, it happened to me after updating to .435 by flashing. I lost some pics from DCIM/100ANDRO and /Picture Folders, both of course in the SD card.
Yup, happened to me too. Not very impressed.

It has happened to me too, but I suspected JustPictures and not a FW update - because it used to happen to me at random.
Hasn't happened now for a while tho.
Hmm, I hadn't lost any pictures. But I certainly gained pictures after the update. It;s rather annoying too. It's picking up any picture type file on my card, including anything in game, apps folders etc. It never did this before.
Ya guyz. I too lost around 150 photos from camera pics folder nd other folders in my sd card..
seem to have found out that the problem in face recognition service
remove it and format SD card for protection against loss of pictures
Ditto. Most recovered with R-Studio.
Hi all, I used my back up to back up my data and apps but now after updating to 2.3 it says it cant find the data on my sd card or i should point to where the files are located. Does anyone know where the program normally stores the back ups on the sd card because I just chose the default path without changing anything during the back up.
Reware folder. Your talking about the mybackup program correct

Ok quick question. On my sd card is a folder called "android". Inside is a folder called data and inside here looks like app data. My question is can i delete this folder cas it takes up 6gb.
Reason im asking is before on old rom i had moved all apps to sd card but after new rom i installed all apps to phone mem instead. So now not sure if this folder is from now or if its all my old app data from before. Unmount of sd card and my apps still work which makes me beleive its ok to delete but thought id ask u gurus first before i cause major problems.

Some applications store data in there, for example the Amazon appstore caches all your APKs there, I believe Google Maps' cache is there, etc. In *general*, it's fine to delete it but just be advised you may actually lose some data/settings you don't know about. If you're cool running all your apps with the SD card unmounted, I don't see why it would cause you any major grief.
Well basically yeah figured that. Now if i delete it and i lost sum app data cant i just use tibu and restore it ?? That way i get of the junk...???

I doubt it, I don't think TiBu backs up the stuff on the SDCARD, but I could be wrong about that. I've only used it one or twice
Any input from anyone else before i try this ? The whole idea is to try and clean some space off of my already small sscard. Just didnt think i had 6gb worth of apps and thinking it came from before when i moved everything to sdcard. thats why im asking the question in my OP.

You could always duplicate the folder on your pc, delete it entirely from your sd, and see what happens. Run it for a few days, and try out all of the apps you regularly use. If all hell breaks loose, you could just put it back on your sd and delete portions more selectively.

Please report back as I'm interested in this as well
Worked great. Copied folder to my pc then deleted it off my sd card. Restarted phone and ultimatly it made a new android folder. All apps still work. Freed a bunch of space. Foind out Basically that folder contains all the data from games and any apps that may need "downloaded content". So dont delete it unless you feel like downloading all this data over again.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk 2
I'm glad it worked out.
I'm curious. Considering it re-downloads data, is the size of the new folder considerably smaller?

I think I know what your problem is as I just encountered the problem myself. Go to the root directory of where you store all your media and look for something that says .nomedia Move or delete it out of the directory. All my media showed up again after moving it.

It's not a solution per-se, but use quickpic.
The gallery app is rather terrible in pre HC roms.
That's a very common issue with gallery on all pre HC roms
Did you try to format SD card?
maybe SD card fault.
or you can use Quickpic to view the gallery. into setting to choose image's local :good:
I also had the same problem, after checking the forums i found two options, one is to delete the .nomedia file in the SDcard and also deleting the .tumbnails folder from the DCIM folder. Then the .tumbnail folder is recreated and the pics show up in the gallery.
Thanks guys after deleting the nomedia files everything is fine now.but why its created? I mean nyway to stop the creatipn of this files?
Sent from my Dell Venue using xda premium
They shouldnt be automatically created normally, could be a bug in one of your apps that did it.
It's usually a good idea to have .nomedia's in folders that shouldnt be scanned as it speeds up scans (by skipping the folder), but obviously you dont want it in folders that have stuff you want to be listed.
Kakagi what a coincidence i also faced the same problem 2day only......thanks to every1 for helping us out.....i wil try deleting dat file....

Rom Manager application adds this file .nomedia after awhile. I found this info in net. It is bug of this app.

I deleted my pictures taken on the camera in the gallery, how do I recover it?
Recuva, stellar phoenix are windows options. undelete from the market if you have root.

Did you have them stored on the phone or on an sd card. If an sd, I would pop it out and stop using it. Look for a data recovery program for your os, and try to recover it. If it was stored on your phone, you may still be able to recover, but it may not work since that space may have been overwritten. Wish I could be of more help but I'm not home right now.
Also check out disk digger the play store. Looks like what you need.

I deleted it from my phone, I don't have an SD card installed and I tried looking for a software to recover it but I have a Mac.
