So I lost all my pictures during the update process. I thought it was going to be similar to flashing a ROM where the DCIM folder is untouched.
Is there anyway to recover photos lost?
**** ME.
How did you update?

The computer. The OTA update kept freezing. I'm religious about backing up....lost about month of pictures.
The instructions on the website state if you use the computer method you will lose all data. I looked at it earlier because the thing is moving so slow.

4.3 puts pics in a different folder, you didn't lose them. I cant remember the names of folders, but if you search you will find them. then use file explorer to copy them do the new default folder. SDCARD vs SDCARD0 i think

I thought it was weird that 6.6gb were used in "other" after the update. I can't find them exploring the phone. Any idea where they're hidden?
The DCIM folder is empty.

That is normal that the other says about 7gb, the pictures are gone most likely... Do you have google+ backup enabled?

So when you open your gallery there is nothing? When connecting via usb to computer it's empty. Going from 4.1. To 4.3 changegs the way the root folder is shown. It would show up as sdcard0.

Then I would assume they are gone. If they got moved they'd still be showing up in some gallery app or computer.

You can try to find some file recovery software and see if that finds anything.
I'll give that a go when I go home. Its just I lost a lot of pictures with sentimental value to me :-/

Hey, have you had any luck recovering your photos? I also have same issue, phone is frozen and want to make sure I can save my photos before manually updating it.
Haven't tried yet.

Yes you can do that if you use dolphins hd browser. This is what you need to do.
Open the dolphin hd browser.
Then hit menu button and select more-settings -data storage settings-Download directory.
Then type: /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/folderName.
I have tested this and it works.
Edit: the same can be done on stock browser by selecting the default storage from phone to sdcard. It'll automatically create the download folder.

The data is located here:
/sdcard/.SamsungMediaHub/files
Not sure if you can have them saved on the external SD card. I downloaded and watched a few shows using the credit they gave us and then deleted the program.
U know what just forgot it i figured it out and that guy that posted earlier and said ure duchbags its true...

Probably best to dl and use root explorer etc to see what updated date wise for specific folders, haven't tried yet but should be easy..

I did that before asking. If you find something please let us know.

Android/Google maps/cache..
The files are not named anything that you would recognize but time and date confirms, also it looks as tho offline storage auto deletes itself in 30 days. There is an older version (Google Google Maps 6.8.1 ) which allows storage and real use of offline maps using other apps..rnmaps I think..
Hope that helps

Ever since flashing jb Roms on my phone I've noticed folders by those names in root folder. Is that something new or is that possibly left over from a previous install?...I was tinkering around with a file explorer and tried to delete "storage", (which also has sdcard0 inside) and it ended erasing all my external sd contents. Can anyone else verify this is normal or something wrong with my internal sd linking etc?. Just wanna make sure its supposed to be like that. Tia

On sense roms u can acess external sd card just like you always did
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Well that I figured out. I'm just confused where the "storage" folder came from....was it added since I started using jb Roms? Because ics roms don't have a folder named "storage", they only have sdcard and sdcard2. "storage" seems to have come up since jb Rom installs. I hope I'm explaining correctly. Is having a "storage" folder along with the other 2 sdcard folders normal when using a jb rom?

Yup, nothing to worry about man

Has anyone else found the random hidden videos in their s3? These videos don't show up when you go to Gallery > videos. I found 2 videos in /system/media/video . 1 called android in space the other called sunset.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I found. Since then wondering what would be their use? They may have use for specific system feature.
The only way to have found them is by having root access or via es file explorer or something similar. Just another of Google's Easter eggs?

They reside on the preload partition, have no use and come from Samsung.
Not exactly "hidden" if you ask me.

Not true, they are part of android, not just Samsung.
Also they are not in preload, they are part of system/media/ as already mentioned.
They are in all android installations, CyanogenMod has them, aosp has them etc. etc.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
The reason for them being on the device as with other phones and tablets is so you can check video play back along with checking the screen quality while playing videos.

I would say they were hidden, a normal user wouldn't be looking around the root file systems. Most people who don't know what UNIX is would have no idea that there are directories other than what they can see on /sdcard

From normal user perspective they can be defined as hidden. I agreed. Wih Root and android everything.pretty much. is naked.
Running CM10.1, I wiped my sdcard already so that my phone could read both which it does I have pictures on both my extsdcard and sdcard which gallery can see both but when I download a picture it saves to sdcard but the gallery can't see them even though it sees other pictures in that folder. I can access the pictures through root explorer though, anyone know anything?

I think this is due to the media scanner. If you reboot I bet it will show up in the Gallery.
