Transfering photos SD->PC problem! - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Looks like I have something ****ed up accidentally or maybe not but the problem on HTC Desire with MIUI ROM is; while taking pictures with Camera (default app) or Camera 360 and save pictures - I can see them in Astro Manager and see them in Gallery (it means they are saved and exist on SD card), but the problem appears when I mount my phone to transfer taken pictures from SD card to PC. Those pictures don't even appear in DCIM folder and folder looks empty! Don't know why? Everytime when I reboot Desire and connect via USB and mount - here are the pictures! What's wrong, what's the problem? Why should I necessarily everytime when I want to transfer pictures from mobile to computer reboot the mobile phone?
Thankful, best regards.

I have an app - switchpro - you can setup an widget to "reload media" worth a shot?
I would presume this is a bug in your rom

I've put newest MIUI version - same thing. Probably with SD card is something wrong.

Well scan it for errors...
Put it in a card reader and if it works well its prob not the card

So far, I have tried to take photo - connect mobile phone via USB cable -> nothing appears. Took off SD -> put in adapter -> in card reader - pictures appears! Looks like everything's OK with SD card. Scanned for errors too - zero. Everything works well with SD card!
EDIT: looks I have something ****ed up in SD card options -> tried with another one sd card in mobile phone, and everything works well! now should do everything new and fresh!

yea i'd try starting with repartioning your card....
Backup on pc - partition - move files back....
sd cards are pretty annoying they corrupt quite easily
I just bought a samsung class 10 16 gb and its much better than my previous unbranded one

[Q] Photos ans videos problem

Hello to everyone.
I just discover a nice bug on my modded Defy on the Rom Pays V4 .
Since five days no problem but last night I met the same concerns that I had in V3 of the PAYS Rom : Can not view my pictures or videos on the Defy snuff with the readers of origin of such!
I see my photos and videos in the gallery in miniature. But when I click on a picture I have a gray icon instead!
And the videos if I start with the original player I get an error "unable to open the file ..."
It works with ES Files ...
I think of a rights issue that have been "modified self" on folders or files but I'm not sure! I even tried to board the rights of the folder / sdcard / DCIM / Camera in 777 but impossible! It is (may be normal) in 075 I think
Small precision: with Super manager I can not even chmod files and folders ...
Another clarification: I just tested the music there are no worries
When I connect Defy to pc, Motorola portal don't try any photos and video.
But i've got access to the screenshots folder and cache folder ...
Could it be SD card problem? Maybe you can use pc to check the card first.

Maybe but how to be sure ?
I think i'm going to make a backup fot my applications and contacts. After that go for a format sd card lol
You can set defy usb connection to mass storage, or put the sd card to pc card reader. Then you can do a checkdisk.

Suddenly Desire can't read mp3, pictures and videos on the SD.

Like the title says, I suddenly found out after I couldn't see any songs or albums in Winamp. Then I tried the stock player, same thing.
They're still there, I can see them with ASTRO and when I connect it to my PC.
I can play the songs through ASTRO, but when the player starts up there's no info on the song at all.
I tried PowerAmp (which does a search on the SD card for mp3s) and that works with most of the albums, some are missing cover artwork.
Also my alarm clock can't detect mp3s, same as my running app cardiotrainer. It's the same when I try to put an mp3 as a ringtone.
Firstly the standard HTC Desire ringtones could not be read either, but I got them to show up again, during my attempt to fix this, which I will go through below.
When I try to open up the mp3s through a program (custom ringtone or stock mp3 player) it says "No musicfiles or SD card is available" (translated from my Danish Desire OS).
I can't see my pictures or videos through my camera or gallery apps, but when I take a new picture it shows up as the only one I got.
-----------------------------------------------
What I've tried:
Rebooting lots of times, of course.
Changing the name of my mp3 folder.
Searching for a ".nomedia" file, or similar "." but finding nothing.
Using the app "SDrescan".
I connected the phone to my PC, right click and select properties. Then tools - error checking. Run with automatically fix file system errors checked.
It ran the error check and said there were some errors and it has been fixed. When I run it again it says no errors were detected.
Did a nandroid restore.
---------------------------------------------
Possible causes:
I am rooted, running the newest Leedroid.
Yesterday I did a complete nandroid backup and titanium backup, and copied the whole SD to my computer drive. I also wiped my battery stats.
That's all I did.
Do you tried to put some new songs to see if they appear on the music player? Maybe it is just a corrupted database for the older entries.
Maybe the stock android media scanner is broken.. Try a nandroid and a full wipe with a fresh install of your ROM, if it does not fix the problem, restore the nandroid backup..
How much % is free. This can be a problem if it's to little.

I tried to put a brand new mp3 on there, but it can't see that one either. On the other hand, when I take a new picture with the camera, that single new picture is visible.
On the SD card 3,44 GB are free. Internal free is about 71 MB, but I've done the A2SD+.
I've tried to do a nandroid restore, with the nandroid backup I made Tuesday, when it was still working.
I guess there's nothing else to try than to do a complete wipe and install a fresh ROM.
I can't really figure out why it would do this all of a sudden.
If you have a mac use disk utility to repair your card - if not format you card - move all data back on after your done - see if that works
How do I format the card?
Is it the thing where I go into ROM Manager and under utillities, select Patition SD card?
I tried to format the SD card, through menu->settings->sd card->format
After it was formatted I put all the SD stuff back from my backup on my PC, and the mp3 could still not be seen at all.
Something strange with the pictures though. In my gallery app I could see all my picture folders except for the main one where new pictures are saved to.
So I try to connect it to my PC again, and switch one of the pictures from the main folder over to one of my self-made folders to see if it would show up there.
I disconnect from the PC and let the SD card mount again, and now it's back to where I can see no pictures at all. I try to put the picture back again, but still; no pictures at all.
Don't format through phone. .. plug it in ur PC and use gparted for example..
Btw u did backup ur SD and move everything back on yea?

I have a backup of my SD and moved it all back, no problems.
The only other way of formatting I know (besides doing it through the phone) is using this guide:
1. Go into the ROM Manager app.
2. Under utillities, select Patition SD card.
3. Select 512MB for both cache and EXT3
4. This will re-format your SD card.
Is that the same (as good as) using gparted as you suggested? I don't know about gparted.

I just think that using a PC / Mac gives you more control over the format etc... linux swap etc... No doubt rom mamanger should suffice but if you do have a corrupted SD card often PC's can handle it better
Tbh if you have repaired your card that usually fixes these sorts of problems for me ... have you got another SD card to try!?

Why didn't I think to try this myself?!
I do have another SD card, and just tried it... and it works! I even tried putting in a new mp3 and it can see it.
Do you think I should just do a rom manager format, or should I jump into the PC way of a format?
I am a big noob btw, so if you think the PC way of formatting my SD card is better, could I ask you to write down a noob-friendly guide maybe?
I've just done the rom manager partition format, and tried to put an mp3 and a few pictures on my SD card, and it works!
Now I'm in the process of putting my SD backup back on my SD card, and I'll write back later if it all works after that.
If not ur card is screwed lol.. I'd be surprised if that didn't work!! Formatting usually cures SD card probs ... if u ever get read only error just repair ur card no need for format for that... just for future reference ... I'm a bit nooby too tbh, lots to learn lol

I just finished copying all of the backup onto my SD card and... now it doesn't work again!!! Same problem!
Why don't you buy a new card? I got a class 6 16 Gb for £20 ... so there cheap enough for all the hassle?
Try formatting on a Mac or PC.. I use gparted from CD I burnt but there are plenty of others around. If not tbh I'm not sure where you go from there.. if you have a backup everything should be fine lol
Edit - so can I clarify do either of your cards work properly?

Oh my god... I just found a ".nomedia" file in the root of my SD card... if that's it I will feel very stupid.
I have formatted 3 times now, transferring the stuff back again now.
Yup, that was the problem
I feel so stupid, but thanks for all your help.
LOL .... well at least you learnt something

Camera, Screen Shot & Walkman cant access sd card

I have recently installed Xperia Ultimate HD 3.0.2 with Rush kernal V10 and everything was working fine, taking pictures, playing music etc. I have also deleted some software using Titainum to remove the dead weight. And recently i took some pictures but it says cannot save and i cant view thenm in the quick view on the camera software, but it does save them when i looking the gallery. If i try to video something is says 2 mins. at the bottom that suggests it cant recognise the SD card even though it is inserted and is trying to save on the internal memory. Also when i screen catpure is takes it and then says it cant be saved but again when i look in the folder in my gallery it is there. So these apps obviously cant recognise the sd card to save to it, for some reason. the Walkman app when i open it just says no music in the library...suggesting no SD card again! I can browse the SD card in File Manager, so the phone knows the SD card is there, just some of the apps dont realsie it is there, the apps on the sd card are all working fine. im not sure if i am missing someting or maybe i accidently delted somethiing important.
HELP!
Tried to reinstall the SD-card? One time I had a bad contact and the SD-card is not read.

SD CARD FRIED...Please Help?

This morning I had opened my Photo gallery with my note 3. All the tiles were grey and non of the pictures were showing. I did a reboot of the phone thinking that would fix it and now the "Camera" folder on the external SD Card is Gone...Along with 2000+ Pictures. I've been looking up online to what maybe could have happened...
Some suggested that maybe it backed up to Google+. Didn't see the pcitures there either.
I am using a SanDisk 64Gb MicroSDHC. It still works and I am able to access the card so I don't think its fried...
Is there ANY possible way to do a data recovery on the card...I have photo's on there that I don't have a backup of and its killing me inside...
Any HELP Please...Greatly Appreciated
Take the SD card out of the phone, use a card reader, and check it with a pc. If your pc says unreadable, your card is borked. If pc will read card, SD slot is borked.

Bad way to learn about backups..
Hope you get lucky getting them back.
Google your question. There are some people that might be able to recover your info for a fee.

LG G7 Camera not saving pictures, must reboot to work again?

Not sure what is going on? I'm saving pictures to the SD card and it has plenty of room? If I reboot the phone it works again without deleting anything. A few days later it happens again? I open the camera, take a picture (on Auto or Manual, doesn't matter), hear the click, if flash is on, it flashes, but the picture never shows in the Gallery thumbnail next to the button??? Going to the Gallery itself doesn't show the picture either?
However, all I have to do is turn off and on the phone and it works, until the next time it happens?
Any suggestions? I've 'cleaned' the cache and extra files and that doesn't help?

Hmm, I didn't think of that?
I've had the phone since July and the problem started late Sept? Worked fine up until then.
I'll switch it over to Internal Storage and see what happens. Think I'll take out the card and check it on a PC as well. If the card has a problem I'll take care of it with CHKDSK or get a new one I guess? Wouldn't think it was the card though as rebooting makes it work again?
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll be back if that doesn't fix it...

I took the SD card to the PC. It said it needed to be fixed. I let it run and after awhile it came back and found no problems? Odd? Anyway I've put it back in the phone and reset it to SD card. I'll see if it happens again. If it does, will switch to Internal and see if it happens again. I'll report back if it does happen on Internal... Not sure I trust the SD card now since Windows couldn't use it as it said it had a problem but it didn't find any when it was fixing it?
Same problem.
How do you change to" save to internal storage"?

Go to the Camera app, in its settings, under Storage.
After I 'fixed' the SD card via my PC it worked for a few days, but came back and had the problem twice rebooting each time. The card was an older 2GB card. I purchased a newer 128GB card and so far that card seems to be working fine, although not heavily used yet.
I also put a 64GB card in my wife's G7 which had none and enabled it to use the card. We'll see what happens with her phone as well.
Format?
i have the same issue. All my pictures are on my SD card and I can access them, but when I take a picture saved to the SD card, it is nowhere to be found although SD is set as default. Saving to Internal works great - so as much as I don't want to I am going to save and reformat the SD card. When I change it to SD card save setting, it is fine for one picture, then it resets itself to Internal.
