Hi really need help on this one, i was having problem with the sd card and was unable to capture photo or video unless i used the phone memory to save, so browsed and found a thread saying to delete the DCIM folder which allowed me to actually take pictures and record but doesnt save to phone or storage card
I seem to solve 1 problem then another pops up please help as i got this phone for the quality of photos and video it gives you.
format the sd card and ensure you are saving to it and not the phone
Hi
Start up the camera, go to settings on the camera start up screen. (Thats the one that looks like a small gear wheel/Cog.(Touch it) It will now show the menu. at the bottom left you should see a storage icon that looks like a sd card. If its showing a phone, then touch it until it changes to the sd card. Now all your photos will go to the sd card.

ive done all the things mentioned, when i use the phone storage it works fine then when i switch to storage card the camera and video dont work i just get a message saying unable to capture photo or video. could it be the sd card thats at fault.
Use the attached tool to check for corrupt cards. Just unzip to your desktop and read the readme file

thanx will try it now
Ok my phone was having issues so i wanted to do a hard reset. All my photos were saved to internal memory, so i copied all the photos from the camera folder and saved them to my computer.
I then formatted the entire phone and hard reset. Now i didnt notice, but when i go to look at the photos on my comp, about half of them say "no image available" when you click on them. Its weird b/c its not from the beggining or end of the dates, but more like in the middle that the images wont work.
They still say .jpg on all of them, and look like they should work ei file size and file name. No matter what prog i use i cant open then, even if i transfer back to the phone. Normally i wouldnt care, but they are my babys pics from the day she was born, so please help!!
Hey bud,
Check out Recuva. It should do the trick [Link Below].
Instructions:
1. Install the software and drivers for your phone if you haven't already.
2. Connect your device to your computer and mount your SD card.
3. Run the recovery wizard and select "deep scan."
4. Wait 10-20 minutes for the scan (depending on card size).
5. Watch all your deleted files come back like magic.

Good luck!

Will this work even tho they were saved to my internal phone storage? I just dont see why some of my camera photos saved just fine to my comp and some didnt. I mean they look just like the other pics, just wont show an image when opened?
Im trying you program now....
No that program did not work. It found all my photos except the ones i need.
Just so weird that i copied the whole "camera" folder and all but some pics from the middle of the selection worked. Just the baby pics i want dont work. This really sucks.
Nope, it doesn't work for phone storage only SD cards/hard drives.
I went to appelpop and I shot alot of pictures with my S3, but when I came home and wanted to take a look at the pictures, they weren't on my SD card/ Internal storage, I did try Recuva and Hexamob but without succes. Does anyone know how I can get my pictures back? The weirdest part is that my phone deleted these himself and I did not delete anything. The only thing I did was check on my SD card and I saw that somehow all the folders where duplicated so I deleted those, but does this even have anything to do with that my pictures aren't on my S3? My phone was also totally out of battery when I came home.
tl;dr: My photos deleted themselves how did this happen and can I get them back?
What I also noticed is that my SD Card says it has nothing on it.
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.

Every so often when I take a picture, it corrupts. I can't figure out what causes it, or if it corrupts immediately or later when the phone goes to sleep. Images showing the corrupt files attached.
Here's picture

Are the pictures being saved directly to the phone or a sd card? If its through an sd card, you can try to format the card within the phone and see how it goes. However, if the pictures are being saved directly in to the phone, no bueno. The first V10 I had had some issues and all were resolved by doing a factory reset. You can try that, but if you are still within your return period, I would exchange for a new V10.
Directly to SD card, which is actually the 200gb from the promo. I tried deleting the camera folder and will see how that goes, but a format is next. I didn't have any issues saving directly to the phone when I tested it.
Also, something very weird, I took a picture of a keychain to test and it showed up fine in the gallery app. However, if I opened it larger it would show properly then corrupt as I was looking at it very quickly--it basically turned the picture grey. Very strange.
This is still driving me crazy. Going to try formatting the SD card tomorrow, but not sure what is the best format type (fat? NTFS?).
What bugs me most is I can see the image fine in the gallery app, but when I open the picture it shows fine at first then slowly becomes black or grey in square chunks all over the image. No idea what the cause is.
I submitted a replacement e-mail to LG. It seems the card is faulty, as I can't get any programs to format it properly, and trying to transfer files to it cause it to give errors pretty consistently. I'll go back to my 64gig for now I suppose, and see if it works any better in my tablet. 64gigs should be more than enough, but annoying either way.
Wonder if the picture is originally being saved in one format. But when you open it, the phone than closes and trys saving as a different format?
I'd format the SD and than let the phone save pictures how it wants to. Dont try forcing the phone nor camera to save them as a certain format type.
