Lost Pics from Camera Folder - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

For the second time, I have lost all pictures I've take with this phone that automatically get put in the camera folder. I have camera set to store on SD card. Gone. Can't find in file managers. Anyone have this happen or have an explanation? Or how to get them back? Stock, unrooted.

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?

After latest update photos deleted.

After the latest update on my phone (multi-touch) I am missing photos from my SDcard. Anybody know why?

Afaik the update should not have messed with SD card files unless there were some stored on the phone itself maybe?

Same like me, after update 2.1 update-1, I lost my few picture on sd card

Are you sure that they're not just in another folder and you've "misplaced" the folder? the fw update won't touch your SD card.
I had several pics vanish after I initially updated to 2.1. I never really thought much about it at the time, and it's never happened since.

100% sure. every folder had pictures deleted from it, some more than others. And stupid me I didn't back them up because I thought no way the SDcard will get touched. That'll learn me. :-(

My pictures are all still under /sdcard/DCIM/100ANDRO
I actually thought that I had deleted it myself... but you are right... they have disappeared..
I was going to open a thread about this same curious issue. Yeah, it happened to me after updating to .435 by flashing. I lost some pics from DCIM/100ANDRO and /Picture Folders, both of course in the SD card.
Yup, happened to me too. Not very impressed.

Same here and there are pictures I can never get back.

It has happened to me too, but I suspected JustPictures and not a FW update - because it used to happen to me at random.
Hasn't happened now for a while tho.
Hmm, I hadn't lost any pictures. But I certainly gained pictures after the update. It;s rather annoying too. It's picking up any picture type file on my card, including anything in game, apps folders etc. It never did this before.
Ya guyz. I too lost around 150 photos from camera pics folder nd other folders in my sd card..
seem to have found out that the problem in face recognition service
remove it and format SD card for protection against loss of pictures
Ditto. Most recovered with R-Studio.

[Q] Strange issue with images.

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.

Have you got an external sd card? If so it could be faulty. Try running without it inserted.

Seems really the problem of SD card
It works normally without the SD card
But how can i solve the problem?
Get a new card, duh...

Try to first repartition the card. In many cases there are permission errors made by the stupid person who don't unmount the partition before pulling the card from the device or computer. But it could also be that the card is broken with it's hardware. Good luck..
Thanks all of you
after 3 times format the card
Seems OK now .......
But one more thing is i cannot play Real Racing 3, after loading then just crash
i dont think this also the problem of my SD card

Help me save my pics.

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.

+1 on putting it in your computer and using recuva. Its very straight forward.
It worked!
Thank you.

Can't Install Apps

I moved a bunch of apps to my SD card. I started having issues with the card unmounting on its own. After a couple days the card no longer works. Now I have ghost apps on my phone that I can't delete. It's in my app menu but not in my app list. When I go to the play store I can't uninstall it or reinstall it there either.
You might try taking the SD card out, putting it in a computer, and doing a chkdsk on it.

The card must be toast. It won't even read it.
You may need a new sd card. After that, follow my instructions here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/help/note-8-to-sd-card-app-store-app-t3772813
You're a life saver thanks! It worked! I thought I was going to have to reset my phone.
