Hi all,
I make some pics with my camera, than I moved using root explore (select all and than move) from DCIMto another folder that I created.
Here ok, but the problem is that I did more pics with the camera and had the same name as the previous.....I didn't recognize and I paste all the new pics in the same folder that I created before....the app replaced all the oldest pics with the new ones, and I can't find in the folder all the pics together.....
I think that the pics are been replaced as they have the same name...
Could you please help how to find the files? I can only see the last pics!
Many thank
Ps: no message from the app to confirm to replace the files after I paste!
If the pictures have been overwritten then you may be out of luck. Download Recuva and do a full scan of your SDCard if it finds them you may be able to recover them.
Similiar thing happenned to me and I lost 1500 pictures. After hours of searching for the right program I recovered over 1000 off them back using a program called Recover It or something like that. Recover it should be a free program is I'm not mistaken.
Thank-you All for your idea....I record the photo using card recovery.
The pics have a small resolution (800x470) but are perfectly good...
Thank for your support

How do you make the photos and Music settings to always look at the SD card path? right now photos are blank and I have to pic folders and go to the SD folders manually.
thanks!
This has been a topic discussed several times. It has to do with the chome.dll file stored in the /windows directory. For some reason it only maps to the /my documents/my pictures and the storage card/pictures folders (called storage card/DCIM). So the only work around, although a poor one, is to create a folder in the main root of your storage called "pictures" ( and not "my pictures") . Then place your pics there and they will show up on the sliding panel on your home screen. You will also be able to acces them from there. The only thing this will not do is send all of the pics you've taken from your camera to that directory. It will still put them in /storage card/my pictures (assuming you are using your storage card for puting your photos to) so you will still have to manually move those pics to the /storage card/pictures directory when you finish taking the pics.
Wow it's amazing what one can stumble upon when they are not looking. I had the same problem just never really searched out the issue. I tried what you suggested and works like a charm! Thanks pudgedaddy!
You can also create a folder called "DCIM" and it will detect the pictures on there as well.

Hey there, I am running MIUI XJ 1.8.26 XPART and I really like this version and I don't wanna change to a newer one.
This one is fine with battery life and smoothness so I will stick with this since my vacation
I am having this strange bug again when deleting pictures from the gallery app.
After a reboot they just show up like I never deleted them.
Last time xj told me to delete sdcard\miui\.cache\ and everything was OK... but now the pictures keep showing up after a reboot AND the cache folder is empty...
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance!
What pictures you want to delete? Your own? System Images?
Pictures I took with the camera or which I copied to SD card.
No system files or kinda protected files.

No, did not work, i tried but the pics are reappeared. but it doesn't matter if you delete from file explorer its ok.
I just tried to delete it by inserting SD card in a card reader and delete it with windows explorer.
I don't get that. That didn't work also.
Every reboot I get the pics "back".
What the hell?

I used the settings in my Note 2 to format my 32GB microsd card. when i view it in windows explorer, the only folder that has been created is the LOST.DIR. should it be creating a folder structure?
on my BlackBerry, whenever my card was formatted, the device would create the folder structure for music, videos, pictures, etc. I've already removed and reinserted the microsd card. Am I missing something?
you're missing the question and answer section
Thanks, I just checked there but still couldn't find my answer. Can't see a way to delete this thread, only edit, so if anyone is able to help out, it'd be appreciated.

Test, take some pictures and store to sd card (change options in camera app) to see if it creates it then

Thanks....that worked for the camera! I tried launching the music player and video player, but no other folders are created.
Problems is, is that I have media to restore to the card but not sure if i should create the folders manually or what.
The reson i formatted it, is cause i took it straight from my Z10 to my Note 2 and wanted to clean up the folder structure. remove data, format, restore into new android folder structure. but didn't really work out
Hey guys, I recently transferred my photos from phone storage to sd card now it is not showing in my gallery. I am pretty certain I found the answer somewhere on here before but I can't find it anymore.
1. The pictures are there in my sd card I can view it in my a file explorer, but it does not show in "gallery"
2. I tried clearing data for gallery and media. I also tried force closing them, still a no go.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
You can always go to your DCIM (or DCMI i really forget) -> media ->whatevs folder you got and put your photos there. Some of my photos don't appear in the stock htc gallery either. Must be directory thing. I just use google photos but DCIM is the main directory so it should work.

Yeah I've done that before, but I remember the was a really simple solution. I think I came across it in one of the rom threads a few months ago, but can't remember.
Aside from restarting the phone there's always this.

Clear the cache with an app like sdmaid.. It is probably retaining old links etc
I wish I stole my HTC M9.
Is there a ".nomedia" file hidden in the folder that contains your pictures? If yes your problems should be solved if you delete it.
Hey folks,
Im in a bit of a pinch, I could not get PTP transfer to see any of my pictures I have taken from my recent vacation. In an effort to "get stuff done" i used a file explorer to move my DCIM/Camera folder to Downloads and now all my pictures are gone from the Photos app...
I have a few pictures that I have not backed up that are quite valuable to me, Is there a way to recover those? Is there an easy way to image the memory and use a 3rd party block level recovery software to scan for JPG signatures?
I tried accessing shell via adb and just running find . on /sdcard but unfortunately that doesn't list any of what i was looking for.
Any help would be great, thanks
PS Im running stock Rom/not rooted/5x on 7.0

Are you sure the picture are gone or just not displaying in photo app. Sometimes they won't display in photos app but are still physically on sdcard viewable from file explorer.
There are apps that can refresh the media cache or you can probably copy the images back using builtin android file explorer. I wouldn't erase the media cache as it could start renaming your sound files during recreation which could mess up your ringtones.
