Go to a stable rom. Cm9 isn't even official or anyway stable.

Try opening the dev tools app from the launcher and hit media provider and then scan sdcard, tell me if you see them after that

Pop the sd card into the adaptor and into a card reader and look for them on a PC. Look in the LOST.DIR folder as well. There is a sticky in General that explains how to recover data from an sd card.

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.

MIUI SD Problem

Okay, so I researched this.problem and I seem to be having the exact opposite problem than what others are having. MIUI on the Sgh-T989 recognizes my SD card and downloads everything to it and I can't seem to get anything onto the internal SD card. Its like the internal SD card is non existant. Other apps like ES File Explorer and Titanium Backup can recognize it but no other apps. MC3 is downloading to SD when all the files are already in the internal. I unmounted it and then ran MC3 but it refuses to download to anything else.

Are you in the correct forums? I'm pretty sure we don't have a working MIUI ROM.

There's a sticky regarding cm7 mounting.. and since MIUI is based off of cm7 did you try that ?

Cyanogen 9 nightly build by Shabby

My gallery doesn't see storage anymore if I flash past 8/02/12
Is this just the way it is or is there a way to fix it?
Thanks!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Storage has swapped since then to correct locations. For many things Internal will have swapped for External and vice versa.
There are a few things that have been in progress since then. 1, a couple of AOSP/CM9 acceptable schemes have been tried the final has been arrived at
2, some issues with applications have arisen, i think this is generally fixed
3, i know the latest issue is deleting in gallery isn't working right.
The nightlies are built off Chris's latest committed code. The changes in storage are permanent so some of your applications / defaults will be backwards from what your used to. The issues however are and or will be fixed and they were known about it the day they showed up.
I know a few people reported files being there and they could not see them at all. I have been working from clean installs with no issues. Pictures that were taken with the 7-17 nightly were stored on the storage device they were originally and the camera now saves to the new location both are visible in gallery for example. Not 100% sure but i believe the SD card is now the default write location.
The gallery says there is no external storage available.

Sounds like the solution is to go back to 8/2/12

What info would help? All I know with my naked eye is that the storage seems to flip flop or something. The gallery says there is no external storage available. I tried to get a screenshot with the built in screenshot feature but because it sees no storage it won't save it.

Well if your coming from a TW Kernel nightly (7/31 or older) to a source kernel nightly (8/02 +) to one of the newer source kernel nightlies I would recommend a clean install i mean storage has changed atleast 3 times.
As per Chris's notes I did notice that the option inside storage was checked causing emmc to be mounted as external_sd. But everything is working for me on a clean install either or. Problems can only really be solved once you get that out of the way. Otherwise revert to whatever you liked and be prepared to do a clean install when we go official. I can only recommend it when such a leap occurs.

Damn dude, sorry, but I stayed away from AOSP for several reasons, and the mixed up mount points drove me crazy. I dont think I ever got it workng 100%. Didnt really try maybe, I missed TW.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Thanks! At least I got some feed back. I ended up fixing it. But it took all day. I had to Odin back to stock, re root. Then format the phones SD card and the external SD card. Now she works beautifully!

Partition issue

First of all sorry if this issue has already been addressed, I looked around could not find much on this issue, anyways I have been running deathstalker s3 for a while, I decided to try deathstalker s4 , it installed okay but the phone kept force closing any system app I tried to run , I reverted back to deathstalker s3 and my phone constantly displays low storage and says 330mb of free space, but in the settings > storage, it displays a lot of free space in the bar graph but none of it is useable, once again sorry if this has already been asked, any suggestions in the right direction would be helpful
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
I would format the external sd and the internal sd and do a complete wipe and re download the rom to your external sd and flash the newly download ed rom

Do you have any nandroid backup stored on the phone? Those take up lots of spaces. If not you might need to do a format as suggested.

Check /data/media/ you must have some hidden files stored there.
Thanks for the help all of you 100% in the right direction, now I'm a lot closer but I think something else is hidding files, now I'm at 4.62gb out of 9.62gb after deleting the the clockworkmod backups, once again thank you for everyone's input
