Flash another rom, Myn's rom supports the cam in 004.

Same thing happened to me and I went thru 4 evos In 1 week all of them did the same thing. So I thought to myself I am extremely unlucky but then realized that there was one thing all of my phones had in common, my sd card. I saved my pics to my computer and reformated my card and sure enought it worked. So try reformating your card or try a different card and if that don't work go to sprint and raise hell.

Reading is hard, he said he is not rooted.
And yes, I had this same problem happen, after reformatting my SD card all was good. But make sure you backup your data to your pc, so you can transfer back after formatting.

Take all the pics off of your sd card and format it with the evo then replace the pics into the DCIM folder and you will be fine. It has happened to me too on my replacement phone too.

I tried format didn't work but if I put pictures back in it should work

I have the same problem as well and I can say with confidence the sd card is the problem. I got a new evo and a new sd card all was good until I copied my old files to the new card. The camcorder stopped working until I formatted the card then it worked. Afterwards I copied my pics only to the card and it was working fine. When I moved some apps to the card it stopped working again. I'm not really sure if it's a single app that's causing that or moving apps to the card is the problem.

I've had the same issue with the stock SD card. It didn't happen until after I rooted and flashed MIUI. Can't imagine that has anything to do with it. I keep a constant back up of any new picture I take on my computer. It hasn't happened recently though. (Knock on wood)
I'm just saying it is obviously an issue, but not necessarily with YOUR sd card or the fact that its a 16gig. Weird stuff.
Haha yea I know I did flash miui to :\
I'm hoping its a bug I don't want to get another SD card to much time to put everything back in it

SD-card problem with photos?

Alright so when I take a photo, it saves just fine, and stays on it, But when I take the card out and than put it back in, they're erased for ssome reason. It just sstarted doing it yesterday, every picture I have saved from previous times stay there, only the new ones get erased. And its not only pictures i take. If I download an image off the web, when I pop my SD out than in, those get deleted to. So far videos dont get erased though. Anyone know why this is happening? I just formatted it now to troubleshoot but that didn't work

I just got a new class 10 sd card and I'm having a similar problem. I had to reflash SRF 1.2 for testing reasons and photos between flash were lost as well.
Same here, at first I thought it was EF02, still havnt narrowed it down. For me it happens when I copy ROMs, tweaks.zipz to the sdcard from pc, but what fixes it for me is just clicking/selecting the file, then unmount, it works...

Make sure you ALWAYS unmount your phone on the pc and turn off usb storage on your phone before unplugging. Prevents data corruption.

Are the photo files going into the LOST.DIR folder on the sd card or are they just disappearing?

Doesnt go into the LOST.DIR folder. And the space frees up on the SD card.
So its officially only doing it to the photo format files. I formatted my SD and than put everything back on it, put it in my phone, it scanned and it all showed up just fine.
Problem occurs when I take the SD out and than put it back in, the media scanner re-scans it and now every picture was deleted. All the videos, music files, zips, etc all stood on the SD card.
Just wondering why the heck only the images are being tossed...

I read somewhere that there is a 2gb limit per folder so maybe make sure those folders you are saving to is less than 2gb.
Hope that is the problem, cause I don't have that problem yet - I have a lot of different folders like birthdays, family and friends, automobiles, videos, etc.
Good luck, keep us posted!
I'm thinkin it may be somewhat my fault afterall. Whenever I normallu remove my SDcard I just pop it out without going to settings and unmounting ffirst. If I yo to settings aand unmount before I take the card out now the ffiles stay on it so far. I guess thats my "fix" for it if that keeps working correctly.
So anyone having this problem, unmount in settings/SD card and storage before removing the card and see it the files you'd normally lose stick.

I followed those rules. Also had to reflash the rom when a theme I was testing got stuck in a boot loop. Pics I had saved before thereflash disappeared after the reflash. I've formatted the card twice, as well.
Edit : K0nane says format using windows, someone phone format causes corruption.

Are u anybody u guys having this problem on the stock sd card? Maybe it had something to do with whatever sd card younguys have. I have the stock card and I have never had any pics disappear on me and I've taken my card out quite a few times.

I am not using stock card but a class 4 card. Over the 4th of july weekend I had Google services error, gapps error, a popup saying I had to wipe data partition it was corrupted, pictures all got wiped out...in 3 days. Had to Odin 3 times and only twice ever before that. At first I thought it was Genocide 2.0, then I thought maybe the ROM I was using, now I have no clue but no issues either. Hope maybe it was an Android System deal and they fixed it...but I lost all of my good wallpapers damnit! Lol

Have you tried putting your card in an sdcard reader on your computer to rule out it being your ROM/device?
If your card is dead, then just buy a new one; you won't have your data but you'll still be able to root your new device if you chose to buy a new one.

I have this same problem. Data off my SD Card will get randomly deleted. At first I thought it was because I used a particular app or when I sent a file as an attachment.
I've tried multiple SD Cards with the same results.

Sd card

Hey guys! I keep getting a message up top that says " you can safely remove sd card" and I can't get to my pics or music. Does anyone know what that is and how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

Try inserting your sd card into your PC to see if it can read it. You may need to reformat using FAT32.
It could also be a sign your sd card is on the fritz. There are a TON of threads that discuss SD card issues with the SGS3. (As a matter of fact, I had a Sandisk 32gb go belly up on me last month.)

I had a similar problem. I think you need to use Kies to transfer files from the PC to the Phone. If you want to transfer directly to the card, you need to remove it and put it in an SD Reader.
sounds like a bad sdcard, reformat the card if it is readable on the PC, if not then it's time for a new one. SdCards go by pretty quick these days it seems.
If it is just bad, and I reformat it, will it wipe everything on it?

That's what happened to me with my Sandisk 32gb Class 4 card - I was able to get it to read/write/format on my PC but it wouldn't co-operate with my phone. After a few tries with the phone, I tried again with my PC but to no avail - it ended up going belly up. Ended up exchanging it for a new one.
However, I bought a Topram 16GB Class 6 card (recommended by another XDA member) and I'm trying that one out now to see how long that one lasts.
