[Q] Deleted pictures by mistake - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I deleted my pictures taken on the camera in the gallery, how do I recover it?

Recuva, stellar phoenix are windows options. undelete from the market if you have root.

Did you have them stored on the phone or on an sd card. If an sd, I would pop it out and stop using it. Look for a data recovery program for your os, and try to recover it. If it was stored on your phone, you may still be able to recover, but it may not work since that space may have been overwritten. Wish I could be of more help but I'm not home right now.
Also check out disk digger the play store. Looks like what you need.

I deleted it from my phone, I don't have an SD card installed and I tried looking for a software to recover it but I have a Mac.

[Q] Restoring w/ Titanium

I rooted my Photon, installed Titanium Backup and backed the phone up to my sd card. Today, i exchanged my Photon for another Photon.
Do I need to root the new phone in order to backup using Titanium?
I guess what I'm getting at is that if the phone needs to be rooted again, it would seem there's no on the fly solution to immediately backing up the phone. I'd have to re-root the phone which means having my laptop handy.
Any help would be much appreciated.
How do you guys do it?
Thanks again.

Yes you need to root again. I havw tried titanium unrooted and it says it wont work. The only one i ever got to work without having root was mybackup pro but you have to buy the app when restoring to new device when using mybackup pro. Not much info but hope it helps.

You don't need the laptop to root.

I have a broken-screen Photon and want to use TB to restore to my new Photon.
New Photon is rooted, but TB will not see all my elements. It don't think it's seeing any of my downloaded apps & data.
Any advice on what I need to do? I just want my new Photon to be like my old Photon.

I've tried everything that I can possibly think of, with no luck.
I did a fresh app only save and that didn't work. New phone would not see the apps to restore.
I can't figure out how to get my app saves off my old phone to be recognized by TB on the new phone. Do I need to download all the apps from the market? Do I need to factory reset the new phone and start over?
This is really starting to drive me crazy. It doesn't seem like it should be this difficult.

I now have a suspicion that y new phone is not reading my SD card correctly. It's not seeing all my pictures or videos. I've unmounted and remounted the card but no change.
Continually confused.
Try moving your titanium folder to internal storage and see what happens

This was the key (I hope, at least). I realized I was using the internal storage SD mount for my saves. I changed the directory to sd-ext and created a new folder there to perform the app & data save.
It's working through a restore right now, but I may be close.

Chalk this up to inexperience. I was backing up to the internal SD, not the external. Once I restated to external, it worked pretty well. Now just some tweaking to be done.
Thanks all for your help!

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?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
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?

Possible to undelete photos?

I accidentally deleted a couple photos that I wanted to keep. Is there a way to recover them? If mass-storage worked I could just connect to a computer and have it work, but with MTP that won't work. Is there a way to do it? Could I image the internal memory and put it on an SD card or something?
I don't know if there is a way to undelete pics, but you can download Dumpster from the Play Store. It can't help you with what's already been deleted, but once you run this app it will keep tracknof everything you've deleted and then you'll be undelete them.

Can you connect your phone as an external storage device and then use a file recovery program? That's how I retrieve deleted files from devices and SD cards. Pretty easy, a company called "stellar phoenix" has a good recovery program, but there are tons of free ones.

Help me save my pics.

Hello everyone.
I really need your help.
My SD card went crazy, and now all of my pictures are gone.
I set two pictures as wallpapers for my home and lock screen.
They still show up, so I'm assuming they're still located on the phone somewhere.
Where are they, and can I move them to my PC?
My GS4 is rooted, and I have Root Explorer.
Put the sd card in the computer (not through the phone) and download a program called Recuva and run it on it. Should be able to get them back.

It worked!
Thank you.

Storage Question

Seems that I have no room left on my phone storage & tons of space left on my SD card. How can I get my phone to put everything on the card, by default??
Would this work: if I hook my phone up to my PC, then just took all the folders on my phone storage, and moved them to the Card. Would my apps & stuff still work or would doing that not be good??

I don't think just copying the apps will allow them to work. You can use Application Manager to move some apps to the sd card.
I went thru all my apps & moved whichever ones I was able to move. But I did that a long time ago. So I still have no room on my phone storage.

Move photos, downloads and any music on your phone to your SD card too. Then in your camera app go to settings and change the SD card as default.
Download the free version of SD Maid and use it to clean up old thumbnails and program files still on your phone from before you moved them.
I once deleted 2gb of photo gallery thumbnails from my phone with this app. You can also see which files are the largest on your phone and SD card to see if you can move or delete anything.
I have this app on my phone, tab, and my kids tabs to keep up with their memory and storage usage.

Thanks, I'm also running out of space, I'll give this a shot.
Tonight I was gonna try to just backup all my.stuff and then start over. I use GO launcher and I saw that I have GO backup on my phone, so I was gonna try to.use that. I started the app & it said my SD card is corrupted or damaged. I included a screenshot of what it said:
So would this be the reason why everything is on my internal storage instead of my card? Or is that message just something I.should ignore??

If you have a card reader unmount your SD card, take it out and try reading it on a computer. If you can read it I would copy everything off and put in a temporary folder on your desktop. Then format the card with the computer and put it back in the phone, format it using the phone and try your back-up again.
If it works put the card back in your computer and copy your files back. Be sure to unmount the card each time. Mine went corrupt once because I didn't.
How do I make the SD card, the default storage for everything? Or is that not possible...

You would have to change defaults on all your apps, camera is a big one.
