As the title states. Whenever I use the flash there is a file with an exclamation point and I can only delete it. When I don't use flash the photo comes out strange with artifacts. I can save screenshots from the camera app just fine. I will attach examples.

sd card might need to be formatted. Try that first. i noticed your signature says you are all stock with s-off. is this still correct?

I'll give that a go. My sig is correct, yes.
EDIT: Just formatted the SD Card by pulling it out and sticking it in my laptop, and also tried formatting from the phone itself. No change. I find it odd that the camera app( stock and otherwise) only saves a corrupted file if the flash is used in taking the photo. If the flash is off it's just got reddish artifacts on the image. BUT, taking a screenshot of the preview before the app saves the photo comes out just fine with the exception of having menu crap all over it. Here's a photo saved by the camera app to the sd card, then a screenshot of the preview before the save.

this might be a hw failure. if you are 100% stock and its happening. you can try to ruu and see if after a clean install its still there or not.

I was hoping it wouldn't be but I suspected it might be. I'm pretty sure it's heat damage to some circuit somewhere. Ah well, my upgrade time is coming up soon. The camera not working isn't so terribad anyhow. I have a discrete digital camera that will suffice.
Have you tried out any camera apps from the market to see if they do the same?

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?..

I've recently installed the official OTA HC Update on my BB 16G WiFi Flyer and noticed that the stock Music App (and any other Music App for that matter) doesn't find any of my music off of the MicroSD Card. Is anyone else having this issue and if so, has anyone found a fix?

Thanks. I did reboot and wait to no avail. In addition, I removed and re-inserted the card. I also copied my music files to the internal storage but still nothing. When the stock music app searches for files, I get a forced close message: "android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly".
I also found the the Gallary App doesn't see any photos stored on the card but when I take new photos with the camera, they do show up. This is strange. Maybe I will format the microSD card and copy the files over again via a USB connection to the Flyer.

I have tried reformating the card, rebooting and turning off fastboot. I am out of ideas. I think it is time to try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, I guess it is back to GB.
Did an install of a new Rom last night. Had this problem. Rebooted, still not working. Installed power amp. Could see my music with that app. About an hour later, my stock music found my music. Don't think this is a real fix but sharing my recent experience

I've tried that, but no luck. A get a message that "the existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed".

Well, I am relatively sure the problem is with HTC's Wifi OTA HC Upgrade. I rolled back to GB and low-and-behold, my sd card music is there as are my photos and videos. I decided to try one more time and ran the OTA Update again...same story, Music and Gallery doesn't find any of my files.
So, one more time...back to GB and that is where I'll stay for now.
try installing a different player ... or leave ur music app running in backgroung for some time hope this might work.... if ur sd is class 4 or less it takes time to find music

PowerAmp does work but there is still the photo and video issue. I let the stock Music app run overnight and it still doesn't work. I also tried 3 different SD cards (class 4, 6 and 10)...no luck. Already back to GB where everything works as it should.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Sorry for the noob question, but the Flyer is my first Android device. Is a roll back only accomplished with a full on ROM flash and subsequent reinstall of apps, etc? Or are you somehow doing an in place roll back similar to the OTA in place upgrades?

Official HC on Flyer does't find music on SD Card
Hi,
Try to clear the cache of the Music App. and the Gallery. At least this worked for me, within no time all my files showed up again
Another option you might try is to use ES File Explorer or a similar program. Go to the folders where your pictures and the music are, and create into this folder a new one. Don't put any files in this folder! Just rename the created folder in .nomedia and reboot with fastbootmode ( in the energy settings) disabled.
I had similar problems once with an Archos 70 Internettablet, and this was the solution that worked for me.....

I really appreciate the last two suggestions. I just don't think I want to go through getting all my apps and data back if I need to roll back again. Maybe someone else that has gone through with the OTA update and has the same problem can try these out.
There is need to roll back or anything like that to use the last 2 options. Just create an empty folder, named .nomedia in the folders where the files are that don't show up in your mediaplayers.You can do this using ES File Explorer ( for free in the Market) or you can hook up your Flyer to your PC, and create the .nomedia files there. Then just reboot...
After flashing a new rom, my camara stop showing pictures in the actual camara app. I can still take pictures but I have to use a file explorer to actually see the pictures that were taken. Anyone have any idea how to fix this.
Also a related problem. I cannot play music using the music app either. I have to use my file explorer to see my music files.
anyone else having the issue?
You probably want to post a message in the thread of whatever rom it is you flashed.. as it seems like a rom-specific problem. If you have your music/pictures saving to an sd card it's probably an issue with where your gallery/music is looking for pictures/songs. Contact the developer.
Different datestamp on pics
What i noticed is that some of my pictures got datestamped wrong and therefore i *thought* they arent showing up.
In reality they really WERE showing up just completely different date then what i'd expect them to.
I noticed the problem on both "stock with goodies" rom and "mean rom".. The first two roms I installed had no issues. I noticed the problem following installing 1.52 stock with goodies so I am not sure that its a rom specific problem

I just remembered there were a few more details I left out. Last night I switched from CM 9.1 to CM 10.1. After I installed it my pictures were gone but before when I went from CM 9 to CM 9.1 they were still there. Could this have something to do with it also? The backup I had was the CM 9.1 ROM.

If my pictures were in the memory somewhere wouldn't they show in a file manager?
1. If you didn't format USB storage space - your pictures are still there.
2. They're visible in any file manager, of course, if you find them.
3. CWM backup doesn't back up USB storage space.
So I checked the DCIM directory and there isn't anything there so does this mean I am out of luck?

They definitely shouldn't have. In your internal storage look for a folder called 0 and there should be stuff in there
So I got around to checking out that folder today and there wasn't anything in there. I appreciate all of your suggestions. I wish they were still there somewhere but I guess something screwed up.
I am in urgent need of help. I have a non-rooted Mate 20 Pro with a nano memory card. Today I noticed all my photos and videos are gone from the memory card.
All the folders are still there just empty, all my files and music is still there just my photos and videos are not.
I tried connecting it to a computer and the same thing. Empty folders,
I'm not sure what happened as they were all there earlier. I didn't use my phone or do anything out of the ordinary for this to happen.
Im on EMUI 10 currently. I took the memory card out and downgraded back to 9.1 to see if the software was the issue but same thing.
I also tried opening the files in different apps to see if they would show up but nothing.
My memory card still shows the same amount of memory being used as it did before.
I also tried to unhide folders, look into the safe but nothing!
At this point I am quite upset
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It is probably the most obvious assume you have rebooted?
Have you mistakenly ejected the card? If not try ejecting from settings and reinsert.
Are you using stock gallery viewer? Does it need update?
These are the most common/obvious actions, don't have anything else to add if tried and didn't work.

Yes, I have rebooted. I even unmounted it and reset the phone then put it back in and nothing.
I am using stock gallery, I believe it's already updated.
Weirdly all my files and music are still there along with the folders. Just my pictures and videos are gone. I looked to see if they were hidden but they're not. They won't show on the computer either.
I'm not sure what could have possibly happened. They were there in the morning and then they disappeared. I didn't take the card out or anything.
Are there apps that could somehow erase all your photos and videos if you install them. I can't think of anything else it could have been. I've never had any problems until now.
The newest thing I have done is update do EMUI 10 but even after the update everything was still there until the other day when they just disappeared on me.
Do you use Google Photos App? If Yes, see if you can find the missing photos and video with in Google Photos. Google Photos once uploaded will remove the local storage.

I tried. Nothing. There are some .hidden or .outside files in some of the folders. I tried to set it to show hidden files just in case but it still didn't pop up.
I'm going to try getting a nano card reader to see if maybe the phone is somehow doing something to the card. In the meantime I'm no longer using so no more damage gets done just in case.
