Hi i have a Galaxy GT-I9300 and will not save photos to phone...My wife took some photos yesterday when she went to find them they where gone...I did a search on the SD card & on phone memory but no photos/pics to be found...She also imported photos from her last phone about 3 weeks ago & these photos have vanished as well..The phone is bone stock, can some one please help me how i can get these photos back ???Or fix the blasted problem ?????

Location is DCIM Folder .
No idea how to locate on a stock rom though usual way would be via root explorer on a rooted phone .

Yes & found nothing.....She took photos today and those ones are still there but photos from Saturday are gone....But the funny thing is she has a photo on her home screen from the photo she up loaded 3 weeks ago & that photo i cant find any where on the device BUT the photo is on her home screen...I don't get it ?!?!?

Ok i think i found the problem after i p1ss f*rted around with the "file settings" I made all file visible.Photos where hidden for some reason Very
Now my misses is happy & so am i..I would like to thank you all for your ideas & this stimulated to dig a bit more into the SG 3 file system..
Cheers Guys

Glad you sort it out.

Wallpapers deleted themselves?

Hi there. I'm not sure how it happened but I woke up this morning, went into my phone gallery to find 4 folders full of images had vanished from my sd card and I have no idea how. is there any way I could maybe get them back?

Do you find them on sdcard through file manager?
Try the app named undelete from market
they're not on the sd card either.
I tried undelete and actually found some, if not all in the list but may have ****ed that up, cos when I restored them, they weren't in the gallery because the folders they were originally in were deleted. I didn't even know to specify a folder.. so are they lost for good now?

Gallery App problem

So the gallery apparently that came with my S3 by default does not show any photos outside of the DCIM folder...
Any way to make it show them. I messed around with this settings to no avail..
I wish I could just flash the stock gallery from the s2...that worked fine but for whatever reason it does not work on the S3

Pictures disappearing (deleted maybe). Please help.

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.

Hmmm don't know about you but when I connect any of my devices to the computer with media device/usb storage option i get the internal storage mounted too. Maybe you should take a look at your settings.

When I connect my phone to pc via usb it shows my internal end external storage though I don't get your point. Is it meant to show both internal and external?

[Q] trying to retrieve a deleted pic

Is this possible?
I've deleted a photo by accident, and i need it back, it's still being used as a contact picture, so it's in the phone somewhere, , any ideas if I can get it back?
I solved this problem by taking screenshot of the contact and cropping image.
If you are rooted try undelete on the market

If I were you, I would have used GetDataBack for FAT32 on Windows PC.

I've got this and the thumbnails are not the ones i want, and the ones without thumbnails are in the hundreds.
I don't have a PC, as running a mac, and cropping the pic makes me loses the bottom half of the pic

Mega 6.3 Galley app barely usable

Is anyone else having any problems here? I have noticed quite a few times I have gone to show someone a photo and the gallery app has been next to useless? Any attempt to scroll through photos results in either a photo being opened, or it goes into 'select' mode with the little squares and green crosses.
Unless I am doing something completely wrong? but having come from S2/Note/Note2 I'd say this was unlikely.

I have used the original Note and the Galaxy Tab 2 and they function the same as the Mega. I never had problems with the stock gallery. Try using other gallery app like Quickpic if you have problems.
Walmart has the Mega for $98.00, 2 yr upgrade!

I had problems with photos and other files, turned out to be my memory card. Some cheap cards give lots of errors.

Try install camera jb+, its include gallery jb+ as well. Its app give you camera and gallery app from jb google edition. For me the gallery is better than samsung stock gallery. But camera is better the samsung camera app, its more crispy. Give it a try on this one.

Thanks for this, I think there is definately something in it, I am using a 32GB Sandisk Ultra Class 10 - I didn't think it was the card as the same applied on the few photos saved on the phone & the google images too, However thought I'd try, so I took the card out and used the 4GB that came with the mega -same problem.
....However I then tried with NO SD card and it was fine! .... even stranger, I have now re-inserted the 32GB card and it is working fine, I wonder if there may be a problem with the contacts either on the card or the phone?
