hey after flashing a rom I realized that I was missing photos from my album..I found them on my storage and moved them into the dcim folder in my sd card..well the photos showed back up..I thought everything was ok till I took some burst shots..ill take a couple theN back out and take another set..problem is that it is stringing them together ..so if I take 5 shots then another 5 it shows as a set of 10 with both bursts being strung together..does anyone know how I can fix this..im pretty sure its from me moving folders around..any help will be appreciated and thanked..I reflashed and still the same issue..its posing me off..figures I'd find a Rom that's running great and I screw something up..
...........
nvm

Just tried that and it didn't work..I'm assuming u meant in settings under storage.. I also tried changing it so it saved to internal but that didnt work either ..I can do like 4 burst shots without pulling out of the apps and it just adds the photos to the last string ...are burst shots saved to a specific folder in dcim?
Assuming you're not selecting a best shot and just backing out of that menu to keep all the pictures, mine shows up under /mnt/sdcard/DCIM/100BURST/###/ with the ### being individual sets of burst shots being taken.

I don't believe that the phone switches automatically. It might but it's never done it for me. Perhaps the sdcard is corrupt. Look for files in the lost+found directory.

/sdcard/lost+found
You might also have another folder called found.000 but you might have to select Show Hidden Files/Folders to see them.

It should tell you when your storage card is running low on space.
So, this may or may not be the same problem I'm having, but I've noticed that my pics will disappear and reappear in no apparent fashion. really frustrating. i've used two diff memory cards, and it's like the phone deletes the most recent ones, then brings them back? WTF? Try to unmount the SD card in the system settings and see if they come back.

I didn't see any posts that you said pictures are actually missing, it seems you just think you would have filled your external..? You can try an app called file expert, choose "my files" then pictures, and it will find all the pictures on the phone.. or the app quickpic has an option to scan folders that have a .nomedia file in them, perhaps your pics are getting saved in a folder that doesn't show? Either way quickpic does a better job than gallery at finding all of your pics.
If you are thinking your sd card would be full from pictures, look at the size of your pictures files. At full resolution highest quality, I don't have any over 2 megs in size, so with an empty 2 gig sd card you would need to likely take over 1000 pictures to fill it up.
If you are sure you have lost pictures/videos that should be on your external, I would replace that sucker and take it as a lesson. Or save to internal, you aren't likely to lose those regardless..

Did you hit menu>show hidden?
That will show you the pics if they are being saved in a hidden non-scannable folder..
Is there any way to specify the save folder for continuous shooting mode? Single photo shots are going to the external SD card like I requested, but continuous shooting mode shots go into separate folders (for each continuous shooting session - which is quite annoying) on the internal SD Card.
I can't find the option any where.
I dont think so, but if you expand those shots, they end up in the folder with the rest of your photos.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was done on purpose because HTC didn't want to worry about dealing with memory cards too slow to keep up with the camera.

Where are all the pictures being saved to? My friend just got this phone and he was under the impression that once he selected the "Best Photo", the others were all deleted! He would like to have the option to save them all.

When the preview comes up after a burst shot just use the back arrow and the whole string of pics will stay in the "100BURST" folder (or something) in DCIM on the internal SD card.

You are awesome! Thank you.
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.
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
I originally posted this in T mobile lg v10 by mistake, but I tried editing raw and jpeg photos to rotate them from landscape to portrait and every time I click save it says unable to save changes. Any help on this?

I believe it only works if you store pics in the phone's internal memory. I've set it to external storage (microSD card) and started getting this error. Had to switch it back to internal memory.

Thank you in going to try and see if that helps. Do you think it would also act up if I have then set to back up on my Google drive too?

I've had the same issue when editing photos. I just tried unmounting the SD card and took a new photo, I was able to edit the new photo saved to the phone just fine.
Anyone have a problem with pictures that are taken in portrait mode, as opposed to horizontally, and if you edit them, they won't post on any social media site correctly? Mine all go on correctly, but when I go back to view them they are tilted sideways. Any ideas how to fix?
I don't have any of these issues.
On Verizon, no camera app(s), and every picture taken goes straight to the SD Card and edited, cropped, etc from the SD Card.
