Pics missing after save to sdcard? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was running out of internal storage so I changed the defalt to " save to external sd card" which is a nice 64 gb SanDisk...
After taking all pictures of kids opening presents , and settling down for a coffee, we noticed that all the pictures that we took were not there. Checked every folder in internal and external sd card. Doenloaded a sd card re scan app from playstore. Still nothing. Checked the trash ( Samsung Galaxy tab s2) this is new feature with Samsung devices in Android 9 pie. And still nothing.
After we noticed the pictures gone , we switched the defalt back to ' save to internal storage". And since then pictures have not gone missing. But we want the Xmas pictures ... Any idea what could have happened to them and how to recover?
Device : Samsung Galaxy tab s3
Os : Android 9 pie
Not rooted .

did you use the standard app for taking pictures or did you use a third party app?

I used the the standard stock camera app.

[Q] Unable to save photos using Omega Rom and ExtSd2IntSd mod.

Samsung Galaxy S3 GT- I9300 (UK - Virgin) 16GB
32GB Sd card installed
Omega v38 Rom with Alexander theme
Siyah 1.8.9 Kernal
ExtS2IntrnSd 5
So my problem is, i cannot save any photos or videos to my phone when taking them. I either get a message saying ' Please mount USB storage before using the camera' or 'Not enough space, delete items,photos etc....'
Now, when i 1st installe the custom rom, i obviously installed Omega v38 then the theme. Rebooted my phone then installed the extSd2intSd mod. Booted up and seemd ok, 30GB device memory and 11Gb Sd card
At the moment i have 29GB available on phone and 10GB on SD card so im confused when it says i need to make room or i need to mount the card.
When i installed it all i copied all files from 'original' memory to the new 32Gb storage. Did i do that right?
Anyone know what i have done to not be able to save any photos? Everything is perfect. love the rom, speed and look is ideal its just the camera

[Q] I can't use my Internal Storage of my Samsung Galaxy Clone Tablet

First of all, one of our relatives gave my mom a Samsung Galaxy tab 7.0 Korean clone tablet, but the real device name is Softwinners V706, which runs on android 4.0.4. and has 5.05gb of sd or internal storage. First it was very descent, easy to use. But then, When I install apps on google play like Hungry Shark Evo, Dead Trigger, apps with very large files, an error pop up and said "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card". The solution was unmount the External memory card then mount it back again. But the tablet we were using didn't have an External memory card yet. And here's another problem. I tried to move apps to INTERNAL memory of the tablet, an example was the game "pou", It won't save. what I mean about it wont save, it becomes some thing like this, "me.pou.app", and becomes missing on the app drawer. another is the pictures and even screenshots, it won't save on the Internal memory of the tablet. We are new to this android thing. Please help us! I used the camera of my phone because the tablet won't save pictures for the screenshots.

do the factory reset
but it will delete all your app & data
if you want to do that
open setting, and search it on there, i forgot the location

[Q] Camera Default Storage

Ok haven't rooted this phone because I'm happy with stock Android 5(GPe) here.
Was looking at a friends phone HTC One and it has the option to store pictures to the SD card slot
I remember seeing that with 4.4 and later we were supposed to get back the storage capabilities for selecting SD cards.
Can't find this option and the searches I've done keep showing Samsung which I've moved away from(Love this phone).
Auto backup is on so i'm covered there but my internal memory is getting lower and I've got a lot of space left on my 64gb SD card.
So I must be slow because I can't find where I turn this feature on, or do I need to download a custom camera app to get this to work?
Thanks for the help.

On regular Sony Lollipop Rom there is the option to set default storage. If it isn't available on GPe you should at least have the option in settings-storage to transfer data from internal to external.
unfortunately neither one of those options exist in the GPe version.
Looking for ideas since I've got 45gb left on my SD card but just over 1.5 gb on my phone. I thought the save to SD card slot came back in KitKat but I can't seem to move anything to run off the card.

Stock Camera doesn't work with SD Card

Hi all , i have the Galaxy Mega (i9152) .
i'm using THIS rom ;
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-mega/development/rom-aicp-11-0-mm-6-0-1-t3457130
everything was going well until i started using a 16 GB kingston SD card. i chose to format it as internal storage in the phone and nothing changed but just recently , while i was trying to use the default camera app in the CM 13 rom , i noticed that it gave me an error saying
"couldn't access SD card"
also , i CANNOT find any option on the camera app which can change the picture storage location.
INTERESTINGLY , the Pixel Camera Application on the same phone has absolutely no problems working in the same conditions.
so in short , the default camera app won't work with the internal-formatted SD card.
any help is much MUCH appreciated !
kindly do help me out !

Galaxy S6: Lost DCIM Folder

Hello
Yesterday I lost all my pictures on my Galaxy S6, I went to gallery, and I had the icon of a “broken” file, I restarted my phone and after that all my pictures and DCIN folder disappeared. After that I had 10Gb new free space.
I rooted the phone and tried about 10 programs the restore internal data and no success, in all of them I couldn’t find one single picture.
I´m not using the fone, what can I do? I need a program to make a deep scan, If it was with a sd card it would be easy, but with internal memory, I can´t use Recuva because the S6 doesn´t have a drive letter as an external drive…
I´m desperate because it´s about 10Gb of photos…
