Try adding this line in build.prop
#camera DCIM dir. 0:sd only; 1:nand only; 2,sd first
ro.camera.dcim=1

you need a file explorer like root explorer.

When your phone's wet, did you try to open it? Because if you do so, maybe it got shorted, maybe you should bring it to the authorized servc. Center

I assume this is not working to you right?
Please explain more
Hi guys,
After I installed Tomal 9.0 rom, I also get stuck in calibration step.
I do the "welcome.not", but now I can not align the screen.
Using the screen is very hard, because I miss the icons that I want.
With 8.9 I noted some erratic behaviors, but it works +- fine.
It´s a hardware problem?
If not what should I do? reformat?
Thanks
Yes, probably the best thing to do is Doc format and then reflash
Or you can remove the welcomehead.not from sd and do a hard reset....

I just make a new text file(in PC) rename it (welcome.not), and copy it to the root of the SD card, sof reset and he "works", but still have the problem about accuracy
Good luck!

[Q] My gallery app doesnt show the pictures moved in external sd card

Hey guys I have a very annoying issue. My gallery app doesnt show up my pictures in my sd card. I moved pictures by file explorer of its own, and they all are gone from gallery app. Although it doensnt show the pics that are moved , it shows the pictures freshly taken into external sd card . But it doesnt show the pics I moved into it. The other fact is that when I unmount the sd card and mount it again, even the freshly taken pictures dissappear.!! but after that I shoot some more and they show up but old pics never shows up. My sd card is new and I have no other issue apart from this ( its class 10 , 32 gb ,kingston micro sd card.! please helppp !! (

Can you still find the pictures in the file explorer ? What folder did you move them to ?
Try downloading quikpic gallery and see if it finds them
They all exist in external sd cad and I can easily find em all just going through file explorer. I can find an open them there. They all in the folder that camera app creates. But gallery doesnt show them

What folder do you have them saved in ? If you have a DCIM folder on the ext card it will find them if they are put in there
They all in dcim buddy but yeah I tried what you told me and downloaded quickpic gallery and it showed my pics up as long as I put a tick on ''show hidden files'' . But I have no clue why would they be hidden. They all appears when im lookin around file explorer. Lets think about it

Seems odd to me. For some reason it thinks they should be hidden. Normally the media scanner would pick them up. Are the formatted differently ?
I dont know which format it is but recently after having had this problem , i formatted it in storage menu of settings. And I put the files back on it but no sign of pictures in gaplery.but yeah thanks for quick pic app! At least it shows them all! But i need to find a way to get my gallery to work properly again
Have you cleared the data/cache for the gallery?

Yes , i did ot at my first try .but the same . I think my gallery app is kinda broken down for some reason.it seems to be working very well but, it has problem with external card. Maybe i should replace it but donno where to find it. I found some but they all are modified , not the original ones
Got to be a card issue. Move pics to internal or hard drive and format the card and see if it helps.

Hey guys Ive come up with news. I flashed succesfully synergy rom into my phone. And gallery had no problem showing pictures on my external sd card. After then I restore all the apps and datas through titanium backup that i used to backup all apps and datas from previous system . AND guess what ? Gallery has started not to show up the pictures in external again. I think an app is causing this but i dont know how to find out

My general rule of thumb is only use titanium to restore apps sparingly. I just keep an ext SD card with apks of the apps I want to install that aren't on market and use the playstore for all other. Flash synergy again and then do an app and check gallery, rinse and repeat. Might be tedious but worth it.
I used to have 2.3.6 GB stock ROM and flashed THIS JB 4.3 ROM Everything works fine but my Gallery app doesn't want to show my old pics at all... When I shoot new photos they are fine.. But my phone recognizes my OLD photos as VIDEO FILES and when I try to open them it asks me what app to use to open them showing video apps. This thread looks like the closest one to my problem. I hope someone can find a solution to this other than using another gallery apk.
(I can see and open my old photos using file explorer)
Using Galaxy S - I9000
Thanks for any effort..
Try out fish bowl gallery app and unlock all pics . They ll show up in gallery after this

File keeps coming back

I have a Note 2 4G and I have a very annoying problem. About two weeks ago I downloaded the qualification for F1 at Monza. It is a file that is just over 4GB and now I just can't delete it. As soon as I press refresh it keeps coming back. I can't rename it though nor can I move it, all it does when I try to move it is that the phone makes a copy of it. The file is located on my 64GB SanDisk.
I have tried to use a bunch of different file explorer and even use the delete option from gallery.
Try deleting it via a pc

Yes, by taking the card out and doing it via a card reader.
The SD card may be dead.

All other files work like a charm though. You would expect this to happen to more than just one file if the card is broken, right?

Yes no problem, both newer and older files.
No, filesystem corruption can affect only one file. This is especially the case if it's a very big file.
note that FAT isn't even supposed to be able to handle a file over 4GB.
Deleting it from a computer worked. Thanks to all of you.

Near impossible. If no data has been written to it even the police would still have a hard job. You will need to get all your contacts from the people they related to, sorry.

There is next to no way to restore any file from a piece of formatted memory.
Actually there is a way to do it, but it take your time and energy a lot...
Sent from my Xperia M Single SIM [C1905] using Tapatalk
Well if you didn't perform a full format of the memory card and didn't use it since then, you still have some chances. Connect the SD card directly in your computer through a card reader and run recovery apps such as Recuva or PhotoRec, you may be able to recover the file. If you're going to use Recuva, use Deep Scan mode...
If the .vcf was stored in the internal memory, then it's probably gone, but if you have root you could try some Android apps that do the same, but most of them are paid and aren't guaranteed to recover the deleted files...

Hi, I am sorry to hear about what happened. I don't know if you still have the same problem after all these years, or you already found a way, but I want to help, you can use recovery tools like acethinker disk recovery. Recovery tools today are powerful enough to get back your lost files.
