Hello everyone. Had my Lumia 800 Black for 2 weeks now and I love it.
A friend of mine downloaded some pics from her FB profile, but I wasn't around and now I can't find the pictures. Not with zune, not with the usb storage device "hack" (Don't know that I've done the reg "hack" properly, because I can see the phone as a device, but nothing is shown after expanding it). Searched for couple of days for file manager/explorer app, but can't find anything.
Don't have any experience with smartphones, so please help me.
"Pictures ---> Saved pictures" ?
Nope. Nothing there.
Nothing else I can thing of - they weren't saved.
Nope if they are not in that folder they couldn't have been saved. It's the only folder we can save images to.
Did You check The whole folder ? Sometimes it is saver with the original timestamp and therefore not nescessarily at the end as latest photos.

How do I find the cached images for recieved pics in yahoo messenger?
I checked everything on my SD card, but when I use root explorer to pull for .jpg on the phone, i get hundreds if not thousands of hits with no way to preview other than one at a time. I hope there is an easier way.
I downloaded several pics, but didnt think to change the names...they each came through at different times and were all called "image" so i guess they were over written, but isnt there a cached image of every picture viewed whether I saved them or not?
Thanks for your help.
Bump...
No suggestions?
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.
I've searched seemingly everywhere on here and on google trying to find an answer but all I can find is "oh just restart your phone that should fix it bye"
But those answers were for people that are missing ALL of their pics! My problem is, pretty much half of my pictures are gone, I first noticed it because there was a certain set that I took 7 pictures like a month and a half ago, and only 3 remain, I know they were there cause I looked at them alot last time was like last week. I went to them today and there were only 3, then I started noticing a lot of my pictures are missing, just magically disappeared. So I hooked into my computer and looked for them, same result. I tried to save the remaining pictures but my computer is being stupid and every time I try explorer.exe locks up now so I can't copy anything off the phone.
I NEED to get my pictures back I have irreplaceable memories of my son, those pictures can't just be gone, I never deleted anything they have to be somewhere, I'm in desperate need of help!
Are these on the internal or external memory ?
What phone is this ? (since this is a general section, could be any OS, even) I know for Android there are un-delete type apps, I'd guess others have these, too - may or may not help.
In the meantime, is there a "send" type option you could use to transfer the remaining pictures off the device ?
try this... http://www.r-studio.com/
Try searching your phone from explorer
Maybe try searching the SD of your phone.
1. Turn on USB storage
2. Using explorer navigate to the SD card of your phone. (should be under computer)
3. In the search bar type "*.jpg" no quotes
This will show you all the pictures on your phone
Can anyone help me? I seem to have lost a few movies I made with my Lumia 920, and I have no clue how and what, what and where.
I want to recover these movies, and for that reason have dl-ed a program called Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery. But with this program I can not get anything from my Lumia, it doesn't even recognize my Lumia 920.
Anyone has had similar experiences with deleting movies accidently, and knows how to recover those files? Even if you don't have experiences with lost movies, but know how to recover those.... Feel free to give some advice
Any help would be much appreciated!
I had problems like this with music. suddenly in file explorer the phone didnt show up the music i copied on to it anymore.
but i think its a problem with the system or memory and the didnt allocate the files properly so they disappeard from the partition.
the used storage in others was unchanged so it might just all go there and not be listed anymore.
I had the same problem, tried to search on the web to find a solution but did not find, sadly.

The problem is the phone uses MTP instead of USB Mass Storage mode. File recovery programs won't pick it up because even though it's explorable, it won't mount as an actual drive. I've been trying for a few hours now but I keep running into that same problem.
There was a registry hack for WP7 phones, but the same key is not there on WP8.
i use WP OS from from beginning when get first demo phones with WP7 and first what learned to every day backup media files from phone to SkyDrive or to PC... and since then i not lost any picture, song or video...
guys (and girls), what you lost forget it... you never get it back... and in future dont forget simple backup (sync)...
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.
