Not sure if anyone would know how, but here we go. I found an old Micro SD Card, and thought it'd be cool to load some old pictures onto my DNA. When I go into my gallery, I see the entire image as a thumbnail. However, when I click the image, half of it is covered with a weird grey box. Anyway to restore the image?

I would suggest using a microSD to USB adapter (or if you have a card reader microSD to SD Adapter) pull the pictures via a computer. If you see the same issue, the actual photos are corrupt. However, if they are clear, you might want to just transfer via the computer, drop box or google drive.

Thanks man I will try that when I get home. It's just weird because the thumbnail is perfect but when I click on it half of it is gray. Is their anyway to fix the image if transferring it via computer doesn't work?

More than likely the images are fine, the file architecture has changed a few times so the card may not be in a proper format for your current android OS to read it correctly. In the case that the SD card/images are in fact corrupt, there isn't really a way to correct them. Find out via your computer first, there MIGHT be some tools that could help but it's a slim chance.

I was wondering how to copy the FULL MOVIE of avatar to my girlfriends sd card from mine? I am asking because she accidently deleted her copy????
I just bought a new SD card and copied the old one directly to it. Avatar plays from my new card just fine.
Dunno if there's some copy protection linked to the phone or just you have to have a Vibrant to play it.
I also moved from my 2GB SD Card to my 8GB without any problems.
As Col. stated though, I don't know if it'll work on another phone.

Ok,so while I am glad that it worked for the both of you,I still do not know how to do it.
So can one of you walk me through the steps in doing it? lol Thanks guys.
When you mount your phone through usb it'll open two auto play windows. One with a folder that says movie and the other your sd card. Find the avatar dcf file and copy it to your hard drive. Then unmount your phone and connect your girls phone and copy the movie to her movie folder. Done.

You can apparently play it on any Vibrant. The copy from my first Vibrant plays fine on my replacement.
Ok guys,so here's the deal.
I was able to get the movie back on my girls phone and it played,but tell me if you also have this problem.
Does yours also now only play from your gallery movie folder and not the avatar icon? Weird. I'm sure a factory reset will make it work again but just don't wont to do that at the moment.
Thanks vibrant fam!

create a folder in you sdcard and name it Movie. Put the movie in there. Your external sdcard... and the movie should play by pressing the icon.
So what if I renamed it avatar instead of movie? Do u think that could be why it does not play from the icon?

Yea, I believe so. The actual movie has to be inside your sdcard in a folder called "Movie" if not, the app will not find the directory it's looking for.
Ok so thats what im doing when I get home(renaming folder). Ill let u know if it works.

Ok,it worked. I renamed it back to "movie" and now the avatar icon plays the movie as well. Thanks for the help!
That's a huge chunk of space in your SD card....I just moved mine over to my phone's 16 GB of storage. Yeah the "app" doesn't work, but I can launch it from the video player just fine.
i put my sd card (32 GB) to the card reader and formatted it to exfat system
when i try to transfer large files (5 GB and above) when the card is still in the card reader it works just fine but when i try to do it from the SGS 3 device it tells me that the file is too big

I think he means when connecting the S3 to the computer with the SD card inside of the phone.
I'm just throwing out my thoughts... you could try disabling the default transfer method of the S3, which is MTP. When connected there's an option to disable MTP. Maybe that could work...

Click "connected to PC" in states bar when you connected to PC, but I don't think it's gonna work as default is MTP, and other one is only for photo, pictures, video, don't know if it can transfer other files

tried it, doesn't work
i'm going to try to downgrade from JB to ICS
Recently i installed Alliance b24 with a 64gig external was working great till I noticed pictures and videos were erasing overnight. I take pictures and videos straight to external. Also transfered all my music there but only half the songs are recognizable even though file explorer shows the file still there. If you know of a fix please help.

Simplest fix, and this is going to be an extreme pain, move all your files on your SD card to your computer, format the card within the rom and move everything back. That usually fixes any SD card issues I have ever had with a tw based rom.

I've had to replace 3 64gig cards messing with roms and TWRP recovery unfortunately.
Issues your having sounds very similar to weird problems I've encountered. But night time wasnt the problem lol
Try deleting a file and reboot is the file still there?
Try creating a file and reboot is the file there?
Do it from a PC using cable?
Do it from microsd adapter?
I've even reformatted using PC and phone to find all my files still there and untouched..
Nothing will fix it.. My only solution was copy data and replace on a new card and snap the old card in half for security reasons.
This was after using TWRP and Alliance/Beans roms I've had these issues with a 64gig sdcard. I'd blame it on TWRP somehow.
Sorry it's not a fix.
I did have twrp. But after ur coment switched to philz. Will try both fixes a nd report back. thanks for your input.

So it's set to store to external SD card? Hmm I'm just guessing here but maybe just an issue with the SD card,, have you tried reformatting it ? I'd either try that or swap it out with another card and see if it happens again. Maybe that card is corrupt.
Again I'm kind of speculating... since it's probably not a ROM issue since your stock unrooted

Have you tried putting the card into a computer and seeing if they are still there? You could always use Recuva once you put it in your physical computer. Also what kind of card is it? Size?

Its a 32g card. I've been using it for a long time. I will try your suggestion. Thank you.

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.
