Yeah sorry guys for this another whatsapp question. I got some old pictures trough whatsapp from my old phone but i accidently deleted them on my micro sd card and recuva doesnt find them! Also when i want to download them in my whatsapp conversation they cannot be downloaded because the photos cannot be found. I already tried to mail them with backup but that also doesnt work. Will they still be in the db file from whatsapp or is there another way to download them. And yes i have good internet connection so thats not the problem,
Sorry if the thread is in the wrong subfora but im freaking out

I'm sorry to say but the only way to get them back is to try restore them from your sd card.
In the db file and backup conversation there are only small thumbs from your pics.

I posted this over at AC and didnt get a nimble maybe someone here knows how to fix it. I was going to "bump" photos to a friend and in the photo section in that app it had a million photos that I have already deleted. I have looked in all the directorys I could think of and cant find these phantom photos. I want to delete them permanently. They are definitely deleted them from "my albums" and dont show up in there. Please help. Thanks!

I do not know much about the app outside of the basics, but is it possible that there is some kind of "bump cache" that it is pulling the images from and it is not getting cleared when you delete the image? Just a QUICK reading of the FAQ, it sounds like you need to update the information you want to share with each adjustment to that info.
Again, that was a quick read through and I may be wrong
and find this where?? there isnt a "bump" folder on my SD card. I have no clue where they r coming from
I dont have this app on my phone but, i would suggest un mounting and removing your memory card...go into your gallery (or what ever way your finding these phantom photos) and see if they are still there. I know this won't actually help you find them. It will just verify that they are in fact somewhere on your sd card... but which file..what are they named ??? i dont know. The permissions list for said app says it wants to modify contacts and other setting..maybe deleting and re-doing the particular contact that you sent all the photos to will fix it ? Again I dont know much about how files are stored or modified by apps that we put on our phone, but if I had this problem I would start there and if it is in fact some where on your sd then you could copy all files on your sd to a pc and at least if you delete something you weren't supposed to you could always copy that file back from said pc...just my .02 good luck I'm sure someone has also had this problem...when in doubt google can be your best friend sometimes!

Well I just installed and reinstalled the app and that got rid of the pictures. Dont know where they were or anything but they r gone now. Resolved
OK so I took some pictures and when I rebooted my phone the next day half of them was blank in my gallery anyone know what's up with that.
Have you actually mounted to a pc and looked on the SD? Are you stock or rom'd? Have you used any 3rd party file managers like Astro to check the contents of the card?

SD card is prolly on the fritz. Or your ROM has read write speeds to high. And if u want to be sure the data is really corrupt put the SD card into the comp with a SD reader if possible not pass thru the phone.

Until you fix the problem you might want to try Photobucket and set it to automatically upload your photos that way you at least dont lose the pictures?..

Your welcome, I have been using it for a long time I have thousands of pics in the Photobucket cloud, its a great backup incase you lose your phone or something too. I'm kind of a digital hoarder lol.

thanks again I don't know why I think of using PhotoBucket since I too gave a account with them for a couple years now.
My brother was playing with my phone and he accidentally installed a new CSC and it deleted all my contents on the internal SD... I got some very important stuff there...As Recuva or r studio dont detect MTP device...anyway to get them back??
Thanks a lot for your help.
What you really meant to say was...."I was messing with my phone and screwed up" ;-)
I think its safe to say kiss that stuff goodbye.
You want the USB mod wherever that is otherwise no chance .

Mass storage mod only works for external Sd.
You could use ext4 restore utilities on the phone, but so far I've not had a single positive experience when trying to restore ext3/ext4 contents.
Sorry to say, but your data is probably gone.
good luck, but i dont think your gonna see it again.
Try hexamob recovery.u might be lucky
That is exactly why all my phone stuff is always backed up on my computer and on my NAS...
Samsung hasn't included Dropbox to sit idly.
I recommend the following:
Titanium Backup to external Sd and Dropbox
Dropsync to sync your files during the night
Sms Backup+ to have a copy of Sms/Call log on Gmail
Sync contacts to Google
Of course a local Nas is better if you don't have a flatrate or a slow internet connection.
However then you'll add a further device where stuff can potentially go wrong.
I prefer offsite. At least when your house burns down and you loose everything you know that your party pictures noone cares about (including you) are safely stored away.

I am having this problem, whereby I downloaded a photo from a MMS sent to me, and it was stored in my Download folder in my Internal Storage. I used ES File Explorer and move the file (not copy) to my external SD card photo album, however the photo will not appear in my gallery under the same album. When I actually opened up my SD card using my computer, I actually found that the photo which I moved isn't in the album which I moved it to, and neither is it in the Download folder in my internal storage. Anyone able to help me on this?
I am using CM9 Stable, on Siyah kernel 1.5.2.
SMS the person to MMS you again.

Kindly provide a more constructive answer. You know MMS isn't free and yes I can still see the file in exactly the same folder that I moved it to on my ES File Explorer, but just not in my gallery as well as PC.

That probably was the most constructive answer as everything else is guesswork and involves you searching the entire phone for the MMS in the hope that its not deleted .
Or carrying out the same task again as a test to see where the file goes to .

How about, read what I wrote in my question. I said, I saved the mms attachment and it is AUTOMATICALLY saved in Download folder in Internal Storage. How the heck will the MMS be deleted? I never mention anything about the MMS being deleted. I said, I moved the picture that I downloaded from the MMS from the Download folder in Internal Storage to my SD card, which is where I stored all my pictures. However the picture is nowhere to be found in my Gallery or when I searched for the picture in the folder in my SD card, however I can still see it in the same folder in the SD card when I go to my File Explorer. I can always re-download the photo from the MMS again because MMS isn't deleted unless I delete it myself, but I am just asking if anyone here has this issue too when moving files using file explorer on the phone itself. Kindly get your facts right before jumping to any conclusion. If you are not here to help, you can ignore the thread and don't act like a pro when you are not. MMS deleted? When I read that I nearly burst out laughing because MMS is stored in your inbox, and you can choose to download the attached file, it is the downloaded attached file that I am concerned about. To add on, the problem is solved after I reboot my phone but I find it stupid to reboot phone whenever i organise my picture files using file explorer.

Hey thanks man. Given you the Thanks that you really deserve.
Lets keep discussion on topic and polite, and avoid senseless arguments with each other.
This should work if the file is deleted.

Hi guys, usually when you're going to format/change another roms for your phone,
how did you backup your whatsapp chat/pictures/videos ?
(Not to mention the newer version of whatsapp that can upload to GD)
Because usually what I do is connect phone to PC and copy the entire Whatsapp file to PC, once I done format, copy it back to phone and install back Whatsapp and restore.
But I notice that some pictures might be gone or replace by other pictures twice or above.. but the chat history is ok
Any solution to fix? or this is normal situation?
You will be hard pressed to get a good answer. Most here have stopped using whatsapp almost a year ago and have moved on to more secure options.
Well most users in the states. I know it is popular in other countries. Like India. Maybe one of those members will have an idea.

U should install titaniyum backup. apk from plystore and backup all apk with data.or u can back up only data when u installed a new rom or new version of whatsapp.
Try it dear
Just move whatsapp folder from your internal storage to sd card and then after flashing move it back to internal.
Or use titanium backup.

Say I have formatted my phone, then do I move the whole WA folder to the internal storage after reinstalling WA or before that?
