I put pictures on my micro sd and inserted it in the g tab. I went to my gallery and they were all there. I then turned off my g tablet, and the next time I went to gallery they were gone. So I opened up es file explorer and sure enough they weren't there, or on the internal. So I put them back on the card and they showed up. I then rebooted and went to gallery and they were gone again!! What is happening??

Its a well documented flaw. do a search for deleted pictures and you will see you need to create a folder called .nomedia and put them into that, and they will not be deleted.
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.
Today I got my new GS4, and was going to make sure all my stuff was backed up from my GS2 before I turned on my new phone. I went into "accounts" from contacts and checked the box for "auto-sync app data" (this is the only thing I did, period, since I was viewing my photos only about an hour earlier) and then connected my phone to the PC so I could back up all my photos. When I did, all the photos "loaded" but I could not actually view them, merely their file name. So I unmounted from the PC and went into gallery on my phone, only to find every single photo, both internal and on sd was replaced with a grey box and I cant view them. I have since reconnected to my PC, and now all those folders are completely empty. If I go into gallery on my phone, it still shows my folder names with all these grey photos, but when I use a file explorer to try and view them, nothing, 0 files just like on the PC. I have NO IDEA how this could have happen, and the only link I have to something going wrong was the auto-sync box I checked. I had about 6 months of photos I didn't back up, and some VERY important and irreplaceable pics I can't get back. I was hoping someone my have an idea as to what happen/how to recover my pics. I have gone through multiple folders, and literally every single .jpg file is gone! This includes all pics taken using the camera, any screenshots I had, all photos saved from texts and websites! EVERYTHING!!!! PLEASE HELP ME GET MY MEMORIES BACK!!!!!

Define "loaded". The sdcard mounts like a hard drive, then you copy them off. Not sure how you screw that up.

When I say loaded, I mean all the file names showed up in the folder, but I could not open the picture to view it. So it looked like they were there, but the file extension didn't show as .jpg and when trying to view them it said something about how microsoft viewer was unable to display image. I never actually attempted to do the copy from phone to pc, so there was not an issue with a transfer, but something that happen prior to even connecting to the pc as far as I can tell. After disconnecting and reconnecting, however, the files don't even show as there, just says 0 files in folder when I open it. Also, its not just sd card, but literally every single file that had a .jpg extension is completely gone....this includes internal and sd, and everything from wallpapers, camera shots, pics from texts and web, everything!
You could try Disk Digger to recover the photos.
Thx for the disk digger recommendation! It was super tedious going thru over 9,000 pics of thumbnails n all kinds of bs, but I was able to get back most of my pics from the internal memory! Now just need to do it with the sd card.

Remove your external SD card and try to access the images through a card reader. Some Sammy devices have had issues playing nice with SD cards, and the resulting behavior can be similar to what you have experienced. Technical details can be found around d the web.
I took some pictures with my LG V10 over the last 24 hours to test the camera out. I am able to preview the picture once it has been taken. Today I went to show some friends the pics I took and they are showing as either unsupported or they are not listed in the Camera or DCIM folder using ES File Explorer. I went checked my Google Photos and the pictures are there and they are showing fine.
I decided to take another picture a minute ago and check my LG Gallery on my V10 and the pic was there briefly and then it disappeared but it appeared in my Google Photos gallery. I have a 128GB micro SD card that has 125GB of free space so I know it is not a space issue.
I have reformatted the Micro SD card and the photos are either showing up as an unsupported format or it is missing. I just took a picture and saved it to the V10 and not the SD card and the pictures are still in my Gallery. My mind is blown right now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is anyone else having the same issue or is it just me?
Exactly the same thing here.
I have had my LGv10 for about 5 days now. I absolutely love it. But some pictures I took that I was rather proud of are nowhere to be found in the Galllery app. Fortunately, I shared them on Facebook, where I was able to download them.

Not mindblowing at all. You have a defective microSD card. Replace it.
I have had the same problems with no sdcard installed.
I do not use a Micro SD in my V10 and I have this issue. I'll take a picture with the back camera, it will appear in the preview circle in the bottom right corner, then in a split second dissappear. I do not have this issue with pictures from my front camera.
Ive never experienced this....by chance has anyone clicked on the menu in the gallery to show locked files? Maybe somehow they were locked after taking the photo? This is the only thing i can think of. Hope it helps any
Also check google picture settings. There is one that will "free" up phone space after it has backup the picture to google.
I found same issue on my V10 and found they were saving to my Verizon media and update of the app made all photos go there in my internal storage.
I tried to take a picture on my phone (Note2) only to see the icon that pics were saving to the internal memory, I switched to the settings to it to save to the sdcard and with the next picture i got an error saying that it could not save to the card. I looked more into the issue and all my pics that were save to the sd card were nowhere to be found in the gallery.
I attached the phone to the pc and to look through folders and dcim folder is nowhere to be found and I do have 'show hidden files and folders' option turned on. The weird thing is that all the other folders are fine like my music for example. I have many pictures that mean everything to me on there and would really like to have them back. Any help please?
