Hi!
Just to make things clear, this is my Dad's WFS we're talking about, it's got Android 2.3.3, completely stock, and is a GT-I9100. It's not rooted or anything, completely stock, although in the future I'm going to put ICS on it.
Anyway, here's the story. My Dad got the phone abroad (Dubai) and he started taking pictures of Emirates, and then he went to another country and took lots of pictures there. There was ~100 pictures. So obviously they were in the Gallery, which was fine. Then he came here, to the UK! His phone connected to the Wi-Fi network, and did a sync (with Gmail). All his pictures from Gmail synced onto the phone and more categories (the sort of folders that move according to how you move the phone) showed up. He noticed that all his pictures he took abroad had disappeared. I had a look, couldn't find 'em. They weren't even in My Files, although there were plenty of cache files, .tec files. I've tried numerous things, like disabling Piacasa sync and rebooting, same with disabling GMail. Now disabling GMail (Force Closing it manually) was a bad idea. All this GMail categories had disappeared! Please help me!!!! These pics are very important!!!
Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong section, this is my first time here, this seems like the appropriate section. If I need to do something technical (like root) don't hesitate to ask me. I do plenty of technical stuff on the WFS forum! Sorry if my English is a bit sloppy, bit annoyed today.
Thank you!!!

If you are sure you can't find any of those picture in sdcard/dcim/camera or external_SD/dcim/camera then you have only way as jjegan said.
1.mount our sdcard to PC.
2.download the software recuva (used for recovering deleted files in windows ).
3.scan your SD with recuva and see if you can get back those accidentally deleted files

I used Recuva. Got some back, the rest were corrupted.

I posted this over at AC and didnt get a nimble maybe someone here knows how to fix it. I was going to "bump" photos to a friend and in the photo section in that app it had a million photos that I have already deleted. I have looked in all the directorys I could think of and cant find these phantom photos. I want to delete them permanently. They are definitely deleted them from "my albums" and dont show up in there. Please help. Thanks!

I do not know much about the app outside of the basics, but is it possible that there is some kind of "bump cache" that it is pulling the images from and it is not getting cleared when you delete the image? Just a QUICK reading of the FAQ, it sounds like you need to update the information you want to share with each adjustment to that info.
Again, that was a quick read through and I may be wrong
and find this where?? there isnt a "bump" folder on my SD card. I have no clue where they r coming from
I dont have this app on my phone but, i would suggest un mounting and removing your memory card...go into your gallery (or what ever way your finding these phantom photos) and see if they are still there. I know this won't actually help you find them. It will just verify that they are in fact somewhere on your sd card... but which file..what are they named ??? i dont know. The permissions list for said app says it wants to modify contacts and other setting..maybe deleting and re-doing the particular contact that you sent all the photos to will fix it ? Again I dont know much about how files are stored or modified by apps that we put on our phone, but if I had this problem I would start there and if it is in fact some where on your sd then you could copy all files on your sd to a pc and at least if you delete something you weren't supposed to you could always copy that file back from said pc...just my .02 good luck I'm sure someone has also had this problem...when in doubt google can be your best friend sometimes!

Well I just installed and reinstalled the app and that got rid of the pictures. Dont know where they were or anything but they r gone now. Resolved
So I was stupid and accidentally formatted my internal SD memory. I make semi-regular backups and I read the warning for the CM9 alpha a million times, but the issue I have is that when I plug my phone into my windows 7 machine it shows all the files being there. I obviously can't access them and I was wondering why this is happening. I'm too tired to deal with it right now, so I'm just FTPing my files onto the phone over night. Any help or information would be appreciated.
Definitely sounds odd. There is a free program to recover deleted items on Android. I'll see if I can find it and link it back here.
Edit: here it is, completely free. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355439

Im new from iphone to s3 and am really struggling with the gallery photo.
When i synced my photo albums to iphone they appeared in the correct folders ie places ive been etc but when i sync to the s3 they are just scattered all over the place and not in the albums any more ... i have like 2000 pics and all randomly scatterd all over the place and no matter what i try i can get the holiday 2012 folder to show the pics that should be .... its doing my head in and im begining to think i should just go back to the iphone .... why cant the phone show " Holiday 2012 " folder or any other and when clicked it opens to show those pictures. There is no order to any pictres no matter what i try ... surely cant be that difficult
Ok i give in .... going to restore this stupid phone and go back to Crapple i suppose .... that Kies sofware is garbage too
Try web solution
You dude might wanna try to use the web interface to get your folders
In order. It ought to be much faster.

Sorry but web interface ?? Thats lost on me . I dont understand ... ive googled for an answer and come across nothing .
All i want is to have my pictures on the stupid phone the way they were on my previous phone and not randomly scattered all over and in no order . I sync the folder to the phone but they are in the camera folder on phone but all over the place and not in " Holiday 2012 " folder.
Cant i transer my " Holiday 2012 " picture folder and have it stay in a folder to be clicked on my phone instead of the pics being all over the place ... im begining to hate this phone ... glad i havnt sold the iphone yet
I can honestly say i regret buying this phone ...... its either a glaring fault that the phone cant keep your pictures in the folder when synced or Kies is a piece of crap software or probably both actually . Everyother phone and pc software I've had before just sync's your pictures in your various folders from Nokia to Sony to Apple they just work but this Kies rubbish doesnt or cant ......
I'm seriously disapointed that this phone cant display a folder of pictures and cant believe samsung have released a phone that cant sync a folder of pictures , and i have to scroll through 2000 pictures to show someone a picture or two ????? Pathetic really .
Sim free 2 week old S3 going back in the box and hopefully returned to the seller .
Kies is a piece of crap. Don't use it and you'll be really happy with the phone.
It's like iTunes, only 10 times worse.
What exactly are you trying to achieve? I'm sure we can help you figure out the best way to do it.
The S3 organises albums based on what folders they're in. Connect it up to your computer, and copy your photos manually to either the internal memory or the SD card (if you have one), in separate folders to separate out the albums.

I thought I'd explained what im trying to achieve ... If i sync a folder of pictures to my phone through Kies IE "Holiday 2012" which has my recent holiday pictures in it ... it syncs the pictures only ..The folder dissappears so when i go into the phone in Gallery there isnt a folder called Holiday 2012 i can click on to see my holiday pictures ... it wont send any folder with pictures to the phone , it just sends the images which are then in a huge jumble in no order scattered all over so if im looking for 1 picture in peticular in Gallery i have to scroll through all the 2000 ish pictures to find the one im looking for .
In kies ive tried syncing a single chossen folder and all it does is send the pictures ... why when i open Gallery isnt there the folder called Holiday 2012 which i can click to see all of the Holiday 2012 pictures together instead of scattering them all over . Ive tried Dragging as kies says and also actually choosing the folder in Sync photo's but always the same stupid result .
I dont know how else to describe it and im getting to the stage where i just want to get rid of it and go back to iphone which syncs pictures in the folders so when i go to photo's they are all nicely there in there respective folders . Easy .
don't use Kies for transfer.plug your phone t usb and connect t computer and connect like media and drag and drope folders.

Yeah Kies is junk. i've transfered loads of photo files over with drag and drop and it works fine keeps them in the files etc.
If you want to use Sync, 'Cheetah Sync' seems to be exactly what you are searching for. It uses Wifi connectivity so you don't even have to plug the phone in the computer to keep it synced.
accidently deleted a picture that i shouldn't have... unfortunately it didnt upload to google plus either...
dunno if there is an app for it.... i usually can recover stuff on the computer but i can't use the One as a removable USB driver...
any help or ideas?

no need to be rude.... i've been looking but i have not found anything pertaining USB removable drive or with recovering pictures
I once recovered a few pictures by downloading an app from the play store, unfortunately I don't remember which one. I did it immediately after deleting my pictures, it's worth a shot.

try an app called dumpster or recycle bin
Try Quetek File scavenger. I've recovered a ton of deleted photos with it. LUCK!
good luck! i know how it feels to be freaking out over something i deleted
Undelete works well, you have to have root access. Worked well for me.
You can use photo recovery tool to scan your HTC phone and get back your files. Here's some tutorials

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
