I don't know what would cause it to do only that. And I know how you feel, my mom's phone messed up back in 2005 when I had my extensive brain surgery, and all the pics were trapped in that phone, and till this day they still are and can't be taken off the memory and won't turn on.
So I know your fury, but I hope it was a one time thing...

So these files can't even be seen when you have your sd card mounted as a disk drive? You go to your DCIM folder, and your pics aren't in there? I have seen people report of there being a ".nomedia" file being put in certain folders, by certain apps. When there is a .nomedia file in a folder, the gallery won't scan that folder for pics, and they won't be visible in your gallery. Are you sure that something like this didnt happen? I've seen that certain music players can put these .nomedia files in certain folders. For what reason, I'm not sure.
Or is it far worse than that, and all of your folders are actually 100% missing from the card all together?

Well that's odd, and I have no idea what would cause that? I usually copy the contents of my sd card to my computer every couple of weeks, and then just delete the prior one. Just in case I were to ever lose my phone, or if the card went south, like yours did. So I always have a relatively up to date copy of my sd card on my pc.
And you're talking about your signature? How it's showing that you have a Desire HD? That's funny, are you on a port at the moment?

yeah i think im gonna start doing that .. and yeah i forgot i did the virus port LOl.. that answers that question..
i think i asked in another thread about edify.. i been making flashable fonts for myself after reading a how to.. would that cause my card to crap out.. could i not be doing edify correctly?

Well if the edify script wasn't correct, I don't think it would have flashed, but I could be wrong.

Latest Cyanogen (7.0.2.), gingerbread camera and other camera apps

Well, I flashed latest Cyanogen mod, but then I found some problems with the phone. I'm not sure if it's really Cyanogen or something else, that's why I'm asking here.
Now, I always liked the default camera that comes with the phone, but this time, I can't find the timer on it. I have checked every single option and - nothing.
I figured that I might try some other camera apps, so far: Camera360, Camera Advance, Camera ZOOM FX and Vignette, they all work fine, but when it comes to saving pictures, nothing happens. I'm using some 3D gallery app, which comes with Cyanogen, I'm not sure what it's called, but it's fairly popular.
Any solution to this?

Appreciate your reasoning but please don't cross post (same question in multiple forums / threads).

You mean the picture is taken ok but are not being saved? Have you used a file manager or pc to check the DCIM folder on the SD Card? This is a very unique issue and not specific to the camera apps or the ROM. Let me know re above.

The Gallery 3D app is native to Android. It won't be responsible for the issues.

Sorry for late reply. Yes, the images are shown in gallery, it just reports location as unknown and when I check SD card (I have checked every folder) there are no pictures (even the newly created folders after I change save path) are not shown.
However, after you mentioned that I should check with file manager, I did so and I can see the pictures. But still, nothing on SD card, so I can't access them. I even tried sharing them on Facebook and sending g to my email then downloading, they show up in the gallery but not on SD card when I access it via PC.
What is causing this? PC issue?

set sd card as primary storage?

I cant seem to find the option to set my memory card as the place where i want photos that i take stored automatically there I also couldnt find this option on samsungs only motorolas? Also im on stock

It automatically does that, no setting req. Did you try taking a photo n see where its stored?

Nope it saves it to the phone I don't see how they left out this glaring omission you think something so little as that

Gonna have to go with jainanshal here. In both stock GB and CM9, photos get saved to DCIM\Camera on the SD card automatically for me.

Do you think I just see it like that in my gallery because its in a different folder? So theoretically if your right when I take out my SD all my photos will be gone?

[Q] Music not showing up in music player(s) [SOLVED]

Looking for some help here. Long time viewer/poster, first time I've had a problem. Perhaps I can find help.
After a music transfer last night, my phone is no longer recognizing the files in my SD card's Music folder. The files can still be located and played through ES File Explorer and other file manager apps, but all my music players (Play Music, Winamp, stock HTC player) do not show them.
Upon searching the forums and the Internet, I have noticed this problem exists across multiple devices, and the solutions are easy to do and seem to work...for everyone except me. Clearing app data/cache, uninstalling/reinstalling, using SDrescan, searching for .nomedia files (none found anywhere), unmounting/remounting, wiping and reflashing my current ROM (DigitalKarma V8)...nothing works, and I am running out of patience. I am close to completely resetting the phone and reformatting the SD card (after backing up, of course...I'm not THAT stupid )
It's likely I may be doing something wrong, but to be safe, I want to see if there is anything I am either missing or overlooking in order to fix this common yet annoying problem. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah the best step if you've tried everything would just be to reformat your sdcard because it sounds like something broke on that
OH. 1 thing before you do that, make sure that the permissions for your music is set to readable by everyone, hopefully that fixes it

Wait, hold the phone. Using File Manager to search my SD card, I find a whole s***load of .nomedia files. ES File Explorer couldn't find them...guess I found a new file manager lol
Now to delete all those files and try this thing again...wish me luck.

Fixed! Looks like I did miss/overlook something, and deleting those .nomedia files took care of everything. Now that I have my music back (and a new file manager...well, not really new, I've used it occasionally in the past), I can get back to enjoying the piece of classic awesome we call the EVO 4G. Consider this case closed.

Put "[SOLVED]" in the thread title please

Ah, I knew I forgot something. Thanks for the heads up. Like I said, first time I've had a problem/question.

That's exactly what you do is delete all those .NO MEDIA files. Also, there's an app called Rescan Media that will work

Photo Saving Issues

Hi all, Ive searched through the forums and cant find the answer that im after so I thought I would ask it the question myself
The Problem
When using any of my cameras, once a picture is taken and I go to view it in the gallery I either get:-
1. The picture is saved properly and I can view it fine:victory:
2. The thumbnail for the image shows up fine but when I go to view the picture by touching the thumbnail, the image loads and then in front of my eyes, it corrupts by either turning completely grey or turning into blocks of different colours and then going grey.
3. When I open the gallery, the image is already corrupted and just shows a grey square with a lighting bolt through it.
When this all started, I was saving the pics to my 64gb sd card (exfat) using the ext2internal memory mod which caused my sd card to be viewed as internal memory while using Foxhound ROM. I then tried A different ROM so I went on to Chaos ROM (which I may add, is awesome) but to no avail. I then removed the ext2internal mod so it was seen as my external sd card again but this didn't fix anything either. Next, I decided to remove the sd card completely and save the photos on the internal sd card but that caused me another problem. I now take a photo but when I go to view it in the gallery, its not therre at all, its like I havent evn taken the picture. Ive used ES file explorer to search for the photos but I cant find them anywhere. Ive tried all the usual fixes but nothing seems to work, I am completely stumped.
Im getting really annoyed with this now as its been happening for a little while and ive lost some really awesome photos to this issue. I hope someone can help with this as I really dont know what to do next with it, I have almost given up taking pictures with it. I wouldnt even mind having to save to the phones internal sd card but i cant find where the pics are going once I have taken the photo.:crying:
PLEASE HELP

Can you view the photos if you connect to the PC ? Did you make sure to remove the file you used for the Mod ? Did you Format your SD Card properly before starting to use it ? Are you sure you checked all the Folders where the pictures might be ? DCIM, Pictures, and Media. Did you check in both Internal, and External Storage ?

Answers I'm the order that the questions were asked.
No
Yes
Yes
Yes
And finally Yes.
I formatted the sd card again and have put it back in the phone and I still can't find or save photos. I then re installed the ext2internal mod again and can now save and view pictures but I'm now back into the position I started in.
Any Ideas?

Your signature in the last post suggest i9300 S3? While many suggestions here may help, it is better if you asked in the Q&A forum for your device? Or in the Rom thread maybe someone else has experienced this and has a solution. This forum is the Sprint SPH-L710, while an S3 many things are different.

Hmmm. that Sig was not in his first post. I would tend to agree with ed. If you are not on a Sprint Device, you would be better off asking in the correct forum.
