Can anyone help me? I seem to have lost a few movies I made with my Lumia 920, and I have no clue how and what, what and where.
I want to recover these movies, and for that reason have dl-ed a program called Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery. But with this program I can not get anything from my Lumia, it doesn't even recognize my Lumia 920.
Anyone has had similar experiences with deleting movies accidently, and knows how to recover those files? Even if you don't have experiences with lost movies, but know how to recover those.... Feel free to give some advice
Any help would be much appreciated!
I had problems like this with music. suddenly in file explorer the phone didnt show up the music i copied on to it anymore.
but i think its a problem with the system or memory and the didnt allocate the files properly so they disappeard from the partition.
the used storage in others was unchanged so it might just all go there and not be listed anymore.
I had the same problem, tried to search on the web to find a solution but did not find, sadly.

The problem is the phone uses MTP instead of USB Mass Storage mode. File recovery programs won't pick it up because even though it's explorable, it won't mount as an actual drive. I've been trying for a few hours now but I keep running into that same problem.
There was a registry hack for WP7 phones, but the same key is not there on WP8.
i use WP OS from from beginning when get first demo phones with WP7 and first what learned to every day backup media files from phone to SkyDrive or to PC... and since then i not lost any picture, song or video...
guys (and girls), what you lost forget it... you never get it back... and in future dont forget simple backup (sync)...

Hi everyone,
This is my first time posting.
I am a complete novice to this, and I'm looking for help. It this question has already been answered, then can you please point me in the right direction, cause I've had a look, and I can't see this issue anywhere.
I've had my HD2 since January, and it's been fine, till now. I tried to install an apparently "fixed" Swype specifically for the Telstra version of the HD2 found at , cause I really wanted to install it, but it never worked, however that's not my issue.
There must have been a virus or something on it, becuase all it did was successfully put my phone back in the stone age. I've lost all of my email sync, the contacts, settings, photos, and the biggest issue which I would like help with, my phone can't find the SD card any more...
Has anyone heard of this problem before? And if so, how can I get it to work?
It's not like the problems in the thread "SD card NOT reading" in the HD2 General page, it's that the phone does not recognise the SD slot any more... It's just vanished. I'm trying to search for it by going to file explorer, then tapping on the top left corner where it used to say "My Devide" and gave me the option of "external storage" or something like that...
If you need more information about ROM versions etc., please let me know how to get to it, and I'll let you know.
1. sign up for microsoft myphone
it will backup daily all contacts, sms, pictures, documents, etc.
It is free
http://sn1-p2.myphone.microsoft.com/mkweb/Start.po?mkt=en-US
2. At this point, you are just going to have to start over. If you don't hard reset often (I usually do twice a week flashing), then you might want to look into a backup program. Backup once a week then you won't lose everything if this happens again:
http://www.spritesoftware.com/
http://spb.com/products/backup/
Both of these are good programs.
Cheers for that. I'll definately be doing that from now on, however it doesn't really help me with getting the SD card recognised again...
Looks like Your phone is connected to your computer as disk-drive (or "locked" in that position)
Look in your system settings (windows key, options, more) Connetcion > USB to PC.
Which option id selected? (Activesync, Disk Drive or Internet sharing)
Hello All,
I wondered if one of you experts may be able to help me with an issue I'm having with my SIII please? I'm a long time browser of the site but haven't posted much until now.
This issue is coming between me and my sleep (and I mean that literally.)
I can't seem to master the art of getting music onto my S3. I thought it would be as simple as using iSyncr as I had with my S2. Alas, no.
Because of the changes to the mass storage mode (I am running a Mac), I have to download the Android File Transfer thing to connect my phone at all to my Mac.
When I use iSyncr now, it's slightly buggy. I put the phone into MTP mode, it starts copying music across and then after a certain number of tracks, it throws up an MTP issue where it says certain songs can't be copied. I then have to go around the houses and start clearing data from the media storage app in my settings and rebooting the phone. Then, I try again and get so far and the same thing happens again with different songs.
Also, when some songs transfer the albums appear split in the phone (though this is minor annoyance compared to the above).
I have left it on overnight and come back to my computer and it all looks finished, yet of my 6700 songs, only 3400 have transferred.
I've tried going the old fashioned way and spend last night dragging and dropping files onto the memory card using the Android File Transfer mode. I got one message saying a song couldn't be copied, yet when I actually got up and checked, again, only 3400 odd songs had transfered. There were no error messages and we're not talking DRM songs that hadn't gone across.. but some that I had ripped myself. It's all very odd.
Don't mention DoubleTwist - that's even worse.
This is really driving me mad as I am a big music player and I don't want to fork out for and have to carry an iPod too. I just sold my iPhone to use the S3 as I assumed it would be simple like the S2 but this is making me so upset with the phone. It's as though Google have deliberately locked out Mac functionality.
It's an unlocked unit, with a sandisk 64GB card inside. That was formatted by the phone and when I tried using a card reader instead, the computer said it couldn't be recognised.
I'm throwing myself at your knowledgeable feet here and hoping that somebody knows exactly what is happening here and what it is I could do to fix it. My entire weekend has been wasted sitting in front of this computer and I really want to fix it.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Can't help with your immediate issue I'm afraid (waiting for my S3 and I don't have a mac... ) but have you contracted the devs of iSyncr to let them know of the issue - at least that way they can start working on an update.
Sent from my CM9 TouchPad
I sure have!
Thanks for contacting me and pointing me to this thread.
First off, I've pre-ordered the international S3 so that I can test this out. We just do not have them in Texas yet.
Secondly, I've been unimpressed with Android's MTP's robustness on other devices. I filed several bug reports for different scenarios that corrupt the MTP database in March of 2011. Zero have been touched by Google. Given this, the first thing we should try is rebuilding the MTP database, which lives inside the "Media Storage" app. I've put these instructions in an easy to follow tutorial.

Please let us know if that helps the issue.
Cheers!

Don't suppose anyvody has any solution for this? Really don't want to take my S3 back but will have to at this rate. I think it's shocking that the S3 is so crippled from a Mac's perspective since the changes to MTP. Android File Transfer app doesn't really fix anything.
I have the same problem. Even using AFT, it wil not see the phone until I put it into PTP mode. THen I can copy data to it. isyncr see the phone in MTP mode but keeps telling me device failed to load.
I'm going to mention
I know I shouldn't mention it but here you go Double twist!
Right I've had some problems and this is what actually worked.
First you have to use itunes. If your music is a mess then a app on the app store called 'dupin' will remove any duplicate songs you have (it worked well for me). if you have lots of dead file links in your library just remove all your library files and then click 'add to library' be careful that itunes does not copy the files you add to the itunes music folder - see preferences.
1. Make a 'new playlist' --> add all your songs to it (press command+a etc). If you have a large music library like me then you can make a 'smart playlist' and limit the size of the playlist, handy eh!!
2. Open doubletwist on your mac and immediately make sure in 'preferences' the 'automatic sync' option is switched off (I had an incident where my whole library syned with 2 of my external hardisks...oops...and the funny thing is that one of the hard disks was where the music stored). Make sure the 'import itunes playlists' option is also selected.
3. In the doubletwist andriod app Select the SD card as library storage and Enable the 'Airsync' function in doubletwist (you will have to pay for the app but in my opinion it's worth it - it also supports ACC files).
4. Enter the pair code into the mac application.
5. Select the option to sync your playlists only (don't try anything fancy!!). You should see the one you made in itunes here.
6. THIS IS THE IMPORTANT BIT: you should by now see the 'airsync' icon at the top of the screen. PULL DOWN THE NOTIFICATION CENTER AND TOUCH THE 'DOUBLETWIST IS SYNCING'. You will see a funky swirly multicoloured wheel LEAVE THE PHONE ALONE UNTILL ALL YOUR MUSIC HAS SYNCED ACCROSS.
Dont lock your phone as this seems to mess it up...
Hope this helps. I understand your pain, I lost a weekend too!
Notes: Podcasts and DRM stuff does not sync.
Notes: If your playlist is not the full size of your music library then if the 'live updating' option is turned on in your smart playlist then when you click sync in doubletwist it will sync different songs each day (I think...)
If none of the above works, you always have a nice shiny 50gb of free dropbox storage as an interim solution

If you are already an iSyncr user, as this person is, there is no reason to leave me for doubleTwist. We've got iSyncr WiFi, which we came out with before doubleTwist and is only a .99 cent upgrade. If you've got an issue with it, just email me, and we'll make sure it works on your S3.

If its possible, try installing VMware fusion, and you can run windows inside your MAC in a virtual machine, you can try this if everything else fails...
You know where to download these softwares
You can try for free...and find the serial key easily using Google.
http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/overview.html
I purchased the isycr wifi option and it is working fine... I think they have a "lite" version that you can try, but it only syncs one playlist or something, but you can see if it works or not. But that is what I am using now.

How about with the motorola defy ? Still waiting on that if you can have a look at fixing that one.
So i searched the site for a while and could not find anything on how to get back information (really only pictures) after I Reset my phone back to factory. For some reason or another my phone would not allow me to sign in through Gmail even after talking with Google on the phone and confirming my email my locked phone would not unlock. I have to send back this phone by moday but was sent here by a guy from Tmobile since he said this is the Best place to go. I did try using Recovery programs both apps and on PC but was unable to find anything and apparently my phone never backed up anything to gmail ect. Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!
If this is a repost and you can shoot me in the right direction that would also be great but as i said i was unable to find anything in the Amaze section for this !

I was told it was possible to find them in hidden files and would have to root my phone ?
I know the guy from tmobile did the same thing and thru this site was able to locate his videos and pictures ? (not all of them but most)

How did you attempt to recover the files with the recovery programs? Also, the more you use the phone, the more likely the deleted files will get overwritten with other junk files.

I used a program Stelar Phoenix photo recovery and i have not really used the phone since. I also set it up to put my photos on my sd card which for some reason it was not doing!? Im using a replacement Amaze at this point so if i was able to retrieve photos i would not over write .
Thanks

Most likely, it meant it stored the photos on the phone's internal SDCard. You should try installing Recuva, its an another recovery program. After that, connect the said phone to the computer with an USB cable and it should ask you to choose a connection type, and then choose "Disk Drive" to have the phone mount both of its internal and external storage to the computer. If you press start and then select computer, it should display 2 additional drives, both of which is from the phone. They should show up with their drive letter (Such as F:, G:, I:, K or something like that.
With the said program, choose it to search all pictures, and as for the location, select "In a specific location" and then choose the drive letter the *INTERNAL* storage is at. The drive letter is usually also represented with a label of HTC_STORAGE or INTERNAL, or something similar. After selecting the location, you can optionally enable deep scan, but it will take a long time.
If it does find something, the most important thing is to have the files transferred to a *DIFFERENT* location, such as your computer's hard drive. It is NOT wise to transfer the files onto the internal storage until you have transferred all of the found objects to a different location.
After you have transferred the files to a different location, you can optionally put the pictures back on the internal storage, or leave it on your computer. The choice is yours.

There was a program I used to retrieve my lost data. I gotta find out what it was called.
Recovah ftw. Works with android and windows.
Checkout filehippo.com I recovered files that were written over More than a few times. you wont recover everything but it's your best bet. I have heard this may work on your SIM as well but you need to get your pc to see the SIM as just another drive or something. I was able to read my sim info on another phone of mine dont remember what the program was called. Recovah is the best and...it's free, no malware, bots etc.

I've searched seemingly everywhere on here and on google trying to find an answer but all I can find is "oh just restart your phone that should fix it bye"
But those answers were for people that are missing ALL of their pics! My problem is, pretty much half of my pictures are gone, I first noticed it because there was a certain set that I took 7 pictures like a month and a half ago, and only 3 remain, I know they were there cause I looked at them alot last time was like last week. I went to them today and there were only 3, then I started noticing a lot of my pictures are missing, just magically disappeared. So I hooked into my computer and looked for them, same result. I tried to save the remaining pictures but my computer is being stupid and every time I try explorer.exe locks up now so I can't copy anything off the phone.
I NEED to get my pictures back I have irreplaceable memories of my son, those pictures can't just be gone, I never deleted anything they have to be somewhere, I'm in desperate need of help!
Are these on the internal or external memory ?
What phone is this ? (since this is a general section, could be any OS, even) I know for Android there are un-delete type apps, I'd guess others have these, too - may or may not help.
In the meantime, is there a "send" type option you could use to transfer the remaining pictures off the device ?
try this... http://www.r-studio.com/
Try searching your phone from explorer
Maybe try searching the SD of your phone.
1. Turn on USB storage
2. Using explorer navigate to the SD card of your phone. (should be under computer)
3. In the search bar type "*.jpg" no quotes
This will show you all the pictures on your phone
Device:
ZTE Grand X (Bell Version) - Model Z933
Android 4.3
Kernel 3.4.0+
No root, stock everything.
I recently bought this ZTE Z933, and I've had some photos, videos, and music stored on the phone's storage for a while, and it worked fine.
Just in the past couple weeks, I put more videos, photos, and music onto an SD Card (4GB, FAT32) and put it into the phone, and now very often (almost daily) all of my picture browsing apps and music playing apps suddenly (and temporarily) are not able to detect ANY media on both the SD card and my phone's storage. But, if I browse my media through ASTRO or any other file manager, all the files are there and they work perfectly fine.
Rebooting the phone does nothing to fix this issue, and neither does accessing the storage through USB or unmounting and mounting the SD Card. For a while, the only fix I found was sometimes if I opened up one of my photos through ASTRO, and then closed it, about half the time it would temporarily fix the issue.
After a bit of searching, I found some threads on different sites about restarting the Media Scanner service (or something along that line) in Settings > Apps. I do not have this, but instead what I do have under Apps > Running > Cached, I have something called "Media", which, when I stop it and restart the phone, fixes the issue temporarily, but it works every time. The annoying thing about this is having to reboot, and losing all my ringtone and notification tone settings, and my playlists every time this happens.
Can anyone give me info on things to try? Or does anyone know of an app that will get me around this issue? (the phone has been reset pretty recently so I don't think that would solve it)
Any help would be very appreciated!
Hey how's it going? I to picked up one of these nice little phones and have yet to find anything as far as development on it, i.e root or any roms and ZTEusa has nothing on this phone. Every time I google it it shows another phone.
Its a great phone large screen and has quad core, if enough people post a wanted new thread on the request a thread forum we can get some help. There is a boot loader its just can anyone get root threw it. Also someone needs to try all of the towel root modstrings which are a lot and you might get it rooted. I really enjoy mine have had no problems with media, might be your sdcard is it an old one or a new one what class is it class10?
http://www.xda-developers.com/users-beware-zte-root-backdoor-found/
I just picked up this phone too.
Seems like root acess is simply password controled..
Maybe ztex1609523?
Anyone wanna jam that into an installer?
