Tried a few roms and suddenly unable to look at photo gallery. Just shows blank thumbnails and also unable to delete files from internal memory..?

Can you access your files via USB to your computer?
If you're using an app like root explorer make sure you are in read/write and not read only.
Also, you may need to unmount or remount your sdcard partition.

Ok I would copy all of the data on internal memory over to your PC first and foremost.
Once you've verified it's all copied over and safe, make a nandroid backup and save it to your computer.
Remove all external media, and then do a factory reset by powering up with volume down, skipping over the press up for recovery so it goes to the bootloader and then do the full internal wipe factory reset all the way to the left side of the icons. Then reboot your tablet, your same Rom should be installed and running. Once you reboot go into recovery and in recovery wipe data, cache, dalvic cache, and system and then flash your Rom and reboot. Drop just a few pics or something on your internal sd card as a test and if it works copy it all back over.

Worked perfect! THANK YOU

Wow this worked very well for too! Better than having to try the other method of wiping. Now i can sell this tablet and move on with my life. Had a good time with it but its very unstable for everyday use.
Half the time I lose access to my other sd cards and it comes up with these funky files and have to reformat it.
Oh well but thanks for the advice

I don't see the option to reformat in the sd card and storage section. Any help is appreciated.

Until root, the only way I know is factory reset. In settings when you select it, it also has a option for clear storage. You have to select it before it shows.
Edit: you can also try unmounting SD card erase, and then remount the card. Should automatically format.

ROM manager will allow you to reformat it every which way but loose.
[edit
damn little keyboards
I just moved majority of Apps over to sd and starting snapping pics saving to sd.... No format. What could possibly happen now? Lol.

If u have evo 4g rooted use that to format.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
If you bought it new, it came out of the package formatted and ready to use. Just put it in and go, after copying over the stuff from your old card of course.
Format or paritition? To format connect phone to usb connect to computer, when the phone screen asks for disc drive or charge only, select disc drive. Your computer will read it as a drive. Hit start menu, scroll up to computer click on it. Should show a couple drives, most likely the phone will be d: g: or f: NOT c: right click the drive scroll down to format and you are done. This is for windows.

I have read this concern and found my own way of fixing it.
More than likely ur getting these issues because ur upgraded or didn't wipe when flashing a rom
How to fix
Back up your stuff
Perform factory reset
For locked devices go to Asus and download your current firmware.
Copy that to your internal sd card not in a specific folder.
Reboot device and let it update ur device again
This fixed my prime and my brother in laws tf101
For custom unlocked folks
Wipe all and wipe all system, data, cache, then install rom of choice and when u restore your Apps from like tiBU like me, only restore app not data

Do you mind panning around Google Earth, specifically in NYC with 3D buildings enabled? I'm curious to know whether this process has had any effect on the ANRs under these circumstances.
Google Earth in NYC with 3d buildings enabled and I got 3 Wait or close pop ups, it lagged big time too.
I don't ever use earth on anything because Google maps is fine for me.

Thank you for checking. I don't regularly use it either, but it's a cool app and I'd like to be able to use it on occasion.
I noticed that it hangs up a lot more with 3d buildings enabled. I tried it without that and it was much smoother.
Pretty bad considering this is the most power Android device available

Earth plays much better after clearing all the data in app manager and in the setting of earth

Exactly. My dual-core Galaxy Nexus runs Earth with 3D buildings beautifully. It's a travesty that I can't view them on my more powerful 10" tablet. Come on, Asus.

I did that and though I noticed an improvement at first, too. But after using it a little more, the complete freezes and lockups, and ANRs all resumed.

I've read instructions on other threads that suggest putting the firmware on an external sd card and running the install from that. Will that do anything different that doing it from the internal sd card? Will the update be found automatically when the tablet launches after the wipe, or do you need to trigger it: either by selecting the file itself or via the setting menu->check updates button?
After you did that, did you reboot, do a soft reset, or cold boot again immediately before setting up any accounts or downloading apps? Did you let Google download all your previous apps, or did you do so selectively, and in any particular order? I'm new at this, and hoping to get my tablet running better and not worse by the end of it all...
Thanks!
no u have to have it on the root of the internal sd card.
All this does is updates it but uses the entire rom instead of pieces. CWM doesnt allow you to install from ext sd either

Hı guys and girls. I have been having a problem lately. A few days ago All my whatsapp images disappeared or maybe even deleted then today all my screenshots are gone. I'm a first time Android user and have no clue what's going on.
No one has used my phone and I am 100% sure I haven't accidently deleted anything.
Has this happened to anyone?
If you have no backup you can try to recover using a tool like RECUVA .

This happened to me too on my LG Optimus 2x with CM7.
All gallery images were gone except a few when I opened my gallery from the camera.
Anyways, managed to restore the images on the computer using some image undeleter or whatever. Haven't found any solution yet.
I'm waiting for a stable CM9 or CM10 release to flash my phone. Time to clean up.

Thanks for the replies. What are some good recovery apps? I searched for recuva in the play store but nothing came up. I also tried undelete app and that only does external sd cards.

Hello, I'm sorry this topic is ready posted, but I can't find what my friend is having problem with. She has an Xperia U and she can't take pictures because it says that the SD card is full, she doesn't have a lot of apps or pictures though. She restored it to the factory setting a month ago and now the same problem. This is an image if her setting menu, please help and thanks.

Ask your friend to backup all important stuff in the internal storage and format it. Format via the phone not the pc.

How to format via the phone? She already restored it to the factory setting from the phone. And how can she backup all the pictures and videos? Transfered them to a PC?

Yes, transfer to a pc. Format the INTERNAL STORAGE not FACTORY RESET. See the clear internal storage button in the above screenshot? Click it after backing up.

1. Clearing the internal storage does not clear stuff like messages and contacts
2. It will only boot like new if you do a factory reset too

So she will lose apps and picture and videos, not something related to the OS? Sorry for being so specific but I don't want to tell her to do something that can cause her software problems, because we are not close and I am trying to be..

Do full backup with PC Companion.
Some apps save data in SD card like backup % restore (the one that come with the phone) so this will be lost.
You can see with PC what is on SD card and copy things that are inportant.

Well she can fry and delete files, when connecting to PC or with the file manager she has on the phone.
What android version is it, Ginger Bread??
connect to pc and just delete all the unwanted file from the internal memory only. What big deal? If you still need the file, just backup it. I believe all the file must be from whatapps media folder, check that folder.
back up the pics videos or something else she needs, then format the SD card.
Backup all your files on the sd card and format it
copy all the internal storage to a folder on your pc. then right click that folder and properties and see if it actually is 3.8gb

Recently i installed Alliance b24 with a 64gig external was working great till I noticed pictures and videos were erasing overnight. I take pictures and videos straight to external. Also transfered all my music there but only half the songs are recognizable even though file explorer shows the file still there. If you know of a fix please help.

Simplest fix, and this is going to be an extreme pain, move all your files on your SD card to your computer, format the card within the rom and move everything back. That usually fixes any SD card issues I have ever had with a tw based rom.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk
I've had to replace 3 64gig cards messing with roms and TWRP recovery unfortunately.
Issues your having sounds very similar to weird problems I've encountered. But night time wasnt the problem lol
Try deleting a file and reboot is the file still there?
Try creating a file and reboot is the file there?
Do it from a PC using cable?
Do it from microsd adapter?
I've even reformatted using PC and phone to find all my files still there and untouched..
Nothing will fix it.. My only solution was copy data and replace on a new card and snap the old card in half for security reasons.
This was after using TWRP and Alliance/Beans roms I've had these issues with a 64gig sdcard. I'd blame it on TWRP somehow.
Sorry it's not a fix.
I did have twrp. But after ur coment switched to philz. Will try both fixes a nd report back. thanks for your input.
