Ok, so this is pissing me right off! I've spent hours tagging all the people I know in my photo albums, but every now and then the SD card disappears from the gallery, so I have to unmount it, remount it to get the photos back, only then it has forgotten all my tags, and I'm reluctant to do it all over again for the 4th time. Anyone else having this problem, or having the solution to it?
No one? Would the sd card be the problem?

Its either one of two things mate,
1. The SD card is defective
2. SD Card reader in the phone is defective
I would test with another sd card to see if it does the same thing.

Hello all...
I´ve bought a sdhc card of 8GB for the hero, and when i trie to change the wallpaper, i go to albuns but it says that has no photos or videos, but thru the astro file manager i see fotos on the card.
On the music program it detects the songs, only at the fotos happens this.
Any ideas?

I originally had the same problem, where the Albums app wouldn't see pictures that weren't in the DCIM folder. I'm not sure exactly how, but I fixed it by taking out the SD card, putting in another one, then returning the original. I didn't actually do this specifically to fix this issue, but when I reinserted the SD card, it rescanned it for pictures and found them all.
I don't know if that helped at all, so if anybody has a real solution to this issue, please let us know!
Does anyone else experience a force close of the Gallery when they attempt to add a photo to an album? I.E - Gallery.. Pick a picture.. Menu.. Add to album.
Thanks,
Rick
I am having force close issues and problems saving pictures when I was saving to my SD card. I switched to internal storage and everything is now fixed.

Could it be the sd Card? What card do you have?

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I am having this issue. Has anyone found a fix?
I have tried, moving pics over to internal storage, formatting sd card and moving back, and even taking a new picture. So far no luck
I never found a fix, and MR5 did not appear to fix the problem either.. This happens if my photos are stored on internal memory, or on a card..
guess I will hit the motor phoroms in the morning. Thanks for the update.
Just wanted to update this. I also ran into the issue of not being able to record videos as well, or them being deleted if it did record.
A few hard resets later and i found a work around. Hard reset and clear cache, and only add your google account. then open the camera and set up the sd card etc. then go into gallery and add a pic and make an album. After that is should work. I am not sure if it the camera not searching the sd card or adding facebook that causes it, but this is what has worked for me on 3 occasions now.
G,day all,
I got 32GB Samsung Micro SD card. I've been using it for last 4 months. Music and Personal pictures, videos filled 20GB out 30GB.
Suddenly my music start skipping the tract can't play this format. and then realized the pictures are not available either. in setting > storage the external sd is grayed out. as if nothing is inserted. I pulled the memory out n insert it back. restart my phone. still didn't work.
Tried on my laptop even laptop doesn't detect it. Used card reader still doesn't detect. any idea what to do ?
I should also add that the issue is with Micro SD card only. I tried different sd card it work well on the phone and laptop.
my pictures are my real worries. any suggestion would be appreciated.

Well the problem is SD card can't be detected even using Laptop.
Download the sd formating tool, if that won't format it then the card is faulty and needs to be replaced. I had the same thing happen with a ten month old card, the supplier replaced it without quibble.
Hey there, I'm hoping somebody can help me. All of a sudden this morning all 1300 pics and 600 songs just disappeared from my SD card. I pulled the battery and rebooted, still nothing. I had noticed last night that a few of the pictures were great out and had the image sideways in my gallery, I didn't think anything of it. I tried to delete the ones that are grayed out and they wouldn't delete.
Then this morning I noticed when I went to go and open one of my pictures it would not allow me to open it I could see it in the gallery but I could not open it full size. Thats when I get a second reboot, and all of my pictures disappeared. I thought it was the SD card because at that point it was saying blank SD card or SD card not compatible to your device. This is the same SD card I have had for years in multiple Samsung devices.
I can't even view the pics on my computer with a card reader. I have tried 2 different SD cards as well on my phone and they all "blank card or card not compatible "
The phone won't even let me format any cards.
I'm stuck. Any suggestions would be awesome. I'm not even looking to recover the pictures, I back them up to drop box so the only ones that were messing with the ones that I took yesterday and today, that is no big deal.

Sounds like your card went belly up. You could try to use an SD card reader on a pc.

Ouch sounds like your device is having a big issue. What device do you have.

LOL I know! Ihave the Samsung Galaxy S 5 for Verizon.
Anyone having issues with Google Photos when using an external SD card? Unless I eject the card, I can't get Google Photos to upload or download any photos. It's either stuck on 'getting photos' (on first launch or after clearing data/cache) or 'waiting to upload' if I've reinserted the SD card after having first successfully set up the app with the SD card removed.
It's not playing nicely. So far, with the SD card inserted, the app is totally useless. I have a couple hundred GB on the SD card so I haven't formatted it.
Any thoughts?
Maybe this is a stupid question, but did you switch the write protection on your SD card? Regardless of its current position, just turn it the opposite.
My card has no such switch unfortunately..
Here's a workaround for the time being,
Make internal storage default photo saving location on your Camera. Move photos from your SD card DCIM folder to your internal DCIM folder, then finally un-mount the SD card. Your photos should start to upload to Google Photos.
I've reported this issue many times to google and they have done nothing about it so I just sort of given up on it. I just un-mount my SD card everytime I want to backup.
Yeah that's essentially what I've been doing. Which is a total PITA.
Interestingly I only had the option to save photos to the internal SD card after 7 days, the option became available about the same time as OEM Unlock.
No problems here. Using a 64GB SD with the camera set to save pictures on the card. Everything uploads fine.

Same here. Very pleased when I found that it worked as it did not work on my S7 Edge.
Samsung 128gb SD card in Verizon S9+. Google Photos can read and write to SD card without issue.

Well there's a glimmer of hope then. Did you guys format your card after inserting into your device? This is the only thing I haven't done. My card was initially formatted on a PC.

I used a brand new card and it did not require to be formatted. Google Photos asked for SD card permissions and that was that.

Mine was also formatted on a PC and used in an HTC 10. I reformatted it in my S9+ before using it.
Cool. Will reformat my card inside my device then and report back. Thanks for the responses.
Everything good here as well. Maybe delete app then re download it?
Formatting the SD Card inside my s9 immediately resolved this issue. Case closed.
Mine just grabs straight from the card, no issues at all...
Never mind. Overtaken by events.
