When i was moving about 2000 thousand pictures from my device storage to sd card my battery died and when i restarted my phone all the pictures were gone except the ones that actually moved about hundred or so. Is there any way to save them?

I have an 8GB SD card in my Photon that used to show up just fine, but now the contents are no longer accessible. Under file manager, it says no SD card is present. But I also use App2SD and all the apps (games mostly) that I had moved over to it are still working. I can launch those games just fine and even in the App2SD app, it shows my SD card (total space and used space) along with all the apps on it.
When I take this same SD card out and plug it into my Win7 PC, all the old contents are still there (pictures, music, videos). I can view/listen to them just fine, so the SD card is good.
So I'm not sure wtf is going on. The only thing that I did that may have caused this was installing QuickPic. When I first launched it, it tried to do an index of all my content on the SD card. But now when I launch it, it says no SD card is present. I've rebooted several times, powered off/on, reseated the SD card, but the end result is the same.
Anyone have a clue on what I should do (short of formatting starting over)?
In file manager are you browsing to /mnt/sdcard-ext ?
I was able to browse there under QQPlayer, but it was empty. For File manager, I simply select SD Card (choices are Internal Phone Storage, SD card, Shard folders) and it says "Please insert memory card". But for further testing, I installed Zedge and moved it over to the SD card with App2SD. It still allowed me to do that and the app still worked.
Lemme guess....el cheapo no-name branded micro sd card ?
Wintec or some other crap ?
Time to go buy another....this one is toast with no butter

Keep guessing, it's a Sandisk. And like I said in the OP, it works fine in the PC and in the Photon, as far as App2SD is concerned, just not with the rest of the phone.

And you think it's a bad card exactly how? Are you reading my posts or just randomly responding with crap? If the best of your troubleshooting skills is to replace the suspect part, then point taken. However, I disagree.
So for other folks on the forum that have some basic troubleshooting skills, here's something else I've done to test. I've placed the SD card back into my old HTC Eris and the card works fine in there as well. So my guess is that the issue is somewhere in my Photon. Just not sure if it's the hardware or software.
Then live with a bad card
I have had issues with my sdcard, but not to the extent you seem to have. I swapped the Radioshack Photon for a Best Buy Photon last night to get a hunski back and backed all my apps up with astro. The only thing my new Photon recognizes are the pictures I had from the old Photon. My wallpapers, ringtones, apps, etc... are not seen by new one and Astro does not find any backed up apps. AND its a new 8gb ScanDisk. Weird.
Finally did a factory reset on my phone but still kept getting the same behavior. Called up Sprint, got a support ticket number and walked into a Sprint store for them to test it further. 2 other known good SD cards were failing to mount on my phone. Tried them on another new Photon and they worked, including mine. Luckily, I was within the 30 days period and was able to simply get my phone swapped out. POS Motorola...
so my panos and just them not any picture are just gone outta my albums no other picture at all and its not like i dont have room on my sd card...im on cm9 2.1 and i really want them iv been looking around and seeing if they are in a cash folder or something but no luck. anyone have ideas about what happen to them? its not like my pocket is smart enough to just del my pano pictures and no others....please help me out
ruthlessbeatle said:
I hope somebody can help me. I'm excited, because Joker got the camera working in CM9 0.2.0, so I installed it, but now I can't find any of my pictures!
I tend to take a lot of panoramic pictures, so many that I have this cute little nickname for them. I call them "panos". Isn't that cute? Anyway, I know they take up a lot of space, but I've got plenty of room on my SD card.
I can't understand where they might have gone. My photos are pretty important to me (I take pictures of really cool things like my **** when I'm using the toilet [which is why I use panoramic mode], and my sister when she's in the shower), so I'd really like to get them back.
I've looked all through my SD card, even through directories that look like maybe they're just cache directories, but I can't find my photos for the life of me.
I thought maybe I "pocket deleted" them, but surely I wouldn't have accidentally deleted all of them in my pocket, would I have?
Please help me. I'm not sure I can catch my sister in the shower again.

First of all, if you're running 0.2.0, I recommend upgrading to 0.3.3. It's really tits. But if that's what you're running, and you didn't edit vold.fstab, then you might not be seeing your SD card at all. Or, if you are running a new version, or you did edit your vold.fstab, but you have "Use internal storage" checked under Settings->Advanced, then your SD card is mounted at /emmc, and your internal memory is what's mounted at /sdcard.
So in either case, you may be looking at the contents of internal memory instead of your SD card, so what you expect to be there isn't.
If you took them with the stock camera, your pictures will be in /sdcard/DCIM/Camera as long as that's where your SD card is mounted.
Oh, and don't worry about those pics of your sister. I've got better ones I can send you.

Hello everyone, I seem to keep having an issue with my desktop (no sure if that is the right word to describe the main pages where you icons and widgets are) icons will change to images of the android guy. It seems to happen randomly and frequently when I reboot my phone. It never happened on stock but I am currently running Team Perfection's Objection #2 with its RC1. I have flashed it twice and still have the same problem. Both times I flashed, I did a clean install. I flashed the dalviek cache, wiped the partition, fixed permissions...... This issue has also come when I tried Goldie 5 rom also. So far to remedy the problem, I delete all the icons and then I add the shortcuts back. Not a deal breaker, just annoying and I am curious as to why. I have tried searching on the web and in the forums here but having no luck. I think it may be the way I'm typing in the search. Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated. I have included a screenshot of my issue.
p.s. this is my first question post so please tell me if I need and how to improve my posting skills.
Go into settings/applications, and move the apps from sdcard to phone.

They will show like this when the OS has lost connection with your sd card. You can.go thru setting unmount and then remount your sd card and they should show up. Not to be a doomsayer, but there is a possibility that your sd card is getting ready to go out on you. Mine exhibited the same thing and then died 2 weeks later.

I can't seem to thank either of your guys posts. I just wanted to say thanks for both suggestions. Totally makes sense, kicking my self for not thinking of it. This is why I love this site and flashing roms. Thanks to both of you again!

Please dont say that! This has been happening to me too, and I figured it was because the apps were on the SD card....so if the card dies, I will loose everything wont i?
Unmounting the SD card and remounting didn't work but moving the apps back to the phone worked. I may invest in a new sd card with a higher class. I am currently using a san disk 4 class. I want to keep my apps on the sd card because the partition seem so small on the phone and I find it easier for backing up purposes.

Not saying it is absolutely going to happen, but that is what happened to me. New card, no crazy icons.
Would at least back up everything important from the sd card.

This has happened to me as well. I just go into app manager and clear the ram then all my icons return.

I mean its possible. I learned from loosing over 500 pictures and videos how important it is to back up SD cards. There are many apps that can back it up for you. I personally use Google+ for backing up pictures and videos only when connected to a charger.
When my SD crapped out, it put my phone into a boot loop, which made me panic since I was an avid flasher on my atrix. Not sure every SD card acts that way. Of course, once removed, phone booted up normally

This phone has almost 2GB of storage memory for apps. And that is about the most I have seen for about any phone. So if you are using it up you must have alot of apps. Maybe too many as the phone is having issues keeping them alll in memory. Had similiar issues to this on previous phones when they were simply over loaded.
Also, I don't believe it is your SD card going bad. The phone doesn't save/move apps to your external (physical) sd card. It saves them to the built in internal/usb memory which is about 11GB. Even the EA/Gameloft extra downloads are saved on the internal/usb memory. You can connect your phone to your computer and see this. However when you unmout the external sd card the apps disappear. So how the 2 are linked is unknown to me. But that link may be the issue.
Got a 32 gb card just to be safe. I need a larger card anyway so I'll throw this older one on my camera. LOL
Thanks for saving me time

Thanks for the simple but effective tip. Don't know why I spend hours reading the non-geek forums, xda is the only one that has real, expert answers. Rather than "well if u press vol sideways and spin around three times while chanting gnusmas " or something like that.
Was taking photos with my tablet and during that time it said memory full or something similar so I changed storage device to sd card and took a few more and when I went to look at pictures taken I had noriced ones saved on device not sd card had vanished somehow and have looked in the places where saved and can no longer see them anyone know how to recover them please?

I think you're in the wrong forum since the GT-P7500 & 7510 don't have an SD card slot.

How old is your SD card?

only about a year old. all of my music is on that card as well and so far no issues with the music. only issues is with pic taking and managing.
Not on this phone, but had once a corrupted SD, which did the same. Was reading data, but could not write.
I suggest to try out a different SD (if you have one laying around). If that works, copy all of your content from the current SD to a computer and try to reformat it.
