[Q] Missing Pics???

Wondering if anybody has ever had this issue...
Last night I know for a fact that all my pics were in tact b/c I was moving some wallpapers and some downloaded pics around. Today I opened my gallery up (running MIUI) and nearly every pic from every album was missing. I rebooted and when I looked again, each album (folder) said it had the right amount of pics in it but when I opened each of them up, they were still mostly missing. I plugged my phone into the pc thinking they would show up then, but much to my surprise they truly are gone. There's no way I could have deleted so many pics from so many folders on accident.
Anybody else heard of this? Is there a way to use one of the cache folders to restore them? The other strange thing is I'm 99% sure my SD card still shows the same amount of memory available as it did when the pics were there. WTF???
Thanks for your help!

Happened to me before. Just once. Lost some good memories.
On stock Rom.

Have you tried restoring a recent backup? That could easily fix it. Also, I'm personally not aware of this problem. =o

Yeah, I restored my last back up from 2 days ago... no luck. It's so strange b/c again, when I first pulled up the gallery, it said 100MEDIA had 148 pics in it. But when I opened the folder up, there was only the 28 that I have left. The other 120 are where??? How would the folder know that there are/were 148 files in there if they aren't hidden somewhere????
I've manually searched the whole SD card with no luck. Are they gone for good??

I had the same freakin issue once.. go to market and download sdrescan app its free.. let it do its thing and all your pics should come back to life! It worked for me and I'm running cm6..

random wakeups

after upgrade to 4.2 from 4.1.2 the phone is waking up at random, even with wifi, 3g snd sync off

same thing also keeps happening to me. another problem i'm having is also my gnex randomly turning off on its own.

One reason could be the Mediaserver process keeps running. 4.2 completely changed where the SD card saved, so your phone has to find where your music, pictures, and videos were moved to.

Factory reset if not already done.

do u know how I can test this? i have bettere battery stats but I cannot find this service
some have suggested it could be the usb port being bent and making contacts

for those that did a factory reset...
has titanium worked? I think I've herad there could be problems...
also, did u backup only 3rd party apps?

for factory reset you mean full wipe? from the setting? from CWM?

Touchwiz crashes with folder since ota Jelly Bean update

My wife installed the ota update from Rogers today.
Now, anytime she opens one of her folders the phone freezes and the error appears.
Any ideas?

I ultimately had to boot into recovery and cleared the cache, did a factory reset and rebooted. It worked fine after that. Got stuck on a call once after, but no more issues after that. Make sure to backup anything off your local storage before you do this, since these steps will wipe all your data.

Right after update the same thing happened to me, I factory reset the phone and recreated the folders and touchwiz worked ok for few days then at some point I ran the battery down to empty and the phone shutdown. Putting it back on the charger and turning it back and now touchwiz home crashes again when using folders.

This is crazy. Coming from a rom I would imagine this stuff to happen but an official update? I really don't want to have to listen to the complaining if I need to reset the phone.

Yeah i had various issues with the official Rogers Jelly Bean update too so I just flashed a custom rom. I never felt the need for it when I was on ics but one day after the update I flashed the Jedi Invasion custom rom. Rogers JB ws just pissin me off.

Same here. I noticed that the crash from one folder only. Then narrowed it down to the app that caused it - removed it from folder then re added it.
Works great now.

I get a crash in /system/app with ES File Explorer. How can I narrow it down to one file?

For me it crashes with any app in a folder.

Yup, same here. Started when creating a folder. After the reboot, folder is created.
But everytime I even 'grab' an icon on any homescreen (like to move it to the trash at the top), it freezes and Touchwiz closes.
Flashed the full, official ROM 3 times, downloaded 3 seperate times, on 3 different computers with 3 different cables.
A buddy that has an SGS3, never rooted or messed with, did the OTA and has the same issue. Another buddy did the same exact steps as me, same files, computer and cable, does not have the issue.
What the heck is going on here?!!?
I'm very disappointed with this update.

I spent ALL day trying to fix this and I think I finally did! I updated to jelly bean from Telus and all of my folders where crashing with the TouchWiz error whenever I tried to close out of them.
I found a post suggesting to go into application manager, find TW and clear all data (not just cache). When I did, all of my home screens lost my folder and app shortcuts BUT the crash was gone and has not returned even after recreating some folders!!
I guess it was the old folder shortcuts that weren't meshing with the update? Who knows I'm just glad it's fixed. I hope it works for you too.

I've done this several times as well. After I set up my home screens as I like them, after a few hours the issue always comes back.
Just letting you know, I'm willing to bet that it'll be back...

So after plenty of testing, at least for myself, I found that the cause of this error was that I had my app menu in 'list' view as opposed to a 'grid' view.
So anyone coming across this thread with the same issue, that might be the problem (that is, if you use list view. If not, I'm stumped...)

I have the same issue when opening any folder, I am also using the list view for apps.My friend also has the same issue and he too uses the list view.After clearing data in TouchWiz Home the problem goes away but eventually returns and always returns immediately after a battery drain.I will try again but this time I will NOT use the the List View and report back.Hopefully we can find the
cause of this, as the carriers dont seem concerned about it.

I came across this forum while searching for this exact problem. I had tried clearing the touchwiz data, but that turned out to be a temporary bandaid as it came back.
The touchwiz crashing just started happening to me again tonight, , but after seeing this I switched my app view to grid mode and I could immediately use my folders again without any issues. I'll report back after some time to see if it stays away.
And I too am with Rogers.

Folder Bug - List view, grid view
I also can confirm a folder crash freeze with list view on a Telus I747m Jellybean 4.1.1 I747MVLDLK4 .
I noticed it happens after a reboot with list view enabled. Switching back to grid view and folders work again.
Thank you for your help guitarguy :good:

Rogers ota update touchwiz trouble
I received the rogers ota update and had trouble with touch wiz and getting the same error message everyone else has been getting, and simply thought if I call "rogers" for assistance or search the net it may be time wasted so simply did a factory reset after backing up all my apps and data which google has done a good job of backing up I also have a 32 gb memory card with all my data installed on, so it wasn't much trouble at all.So what you can do is slowly uninstall all your apps if you have few or just do the factory reset.But as I recall my phone was considerably hindered by this problem with touchwiz.I reinstalled all my apps with wifi.
I just discovered the new photosphere and other google apps that have been released and wonder if these will also soon be released in a future over the air update and wonder if I should just bite the bullet and install the roms now. Does anyone have any idea what the intentions are? Can we expect these within six months in another update or sooner?
best

Fixed by disabling list view. Thanks.

[Q] Am I stupid? mms cyanogenmod and paranoidandroid

Hi all,
I have been hunting around for the last three days and cannot find a unified answer as to why MMS does not work on my i747. No MMS function is kind of a deal breaker. I have changed APN settings a number of times to no avail. Switched from PA to CM and back no wipe and full wipe etc and still no dice. Does anyone have any solutions that are repeatable? If so I would love to make it known.
Frustratedly,

are you using any type of startup programs?
if you are see if you checked the messages app and if you did uncheck it.

Not sure what you mean by startup apps but the phone was pure as the driven snow and still nothing. If you can consider cm pure

Does everything else work? Like phone calls, texting, and cellular data? If so, more than likely APN related. Who is your service provider?

Yeah. Everything else is fine. Sms is good and quick. Data speeds are tip top. Mms messages just stall out at "sending" I use ATT in Colorado.

Well if everything else is working properly, then I'd almost bet it's APN related. Double check, and make sure everything is entered properly, periods,spaces, capitalization. If so, and it still doesn't work, did u make a backup of stock before u ever flashed a custom ROM? If so, restore it and see if they work. Also, have u updated your modem?

Can you receive mms messages? Because I recently couldn't send picture messages, but could receive them. Turns out picasa uploader had some corrupt data. I would make sure that app isnt frozen or accidently uninstalled

Some of the newer ROMs have issues with resizing the image being sent - it is larger that AT&T will allow. I don't remember what thread it was in but someone mentioned that there was a change made to the mms.apk that caused the issue. They posted an APK that they pulled from a ROM from June (I think it may have been a CyanogenMod nightly).
--edit--
I think it was polobunny that posted it. I'm too tired to look for it but his post in reply to fastest963's post on a possible CyanogenMod resolution to the issue in the thread listed below.

I had that same problem with Slimbean. I sent them a logcat and the fix had something to do with "the lack of hugemem for kernel".

Not sure if this is applicable, but this guy posted a fix on a thread for MMS issues on a 4.3 ROM. Perhaps worth investigating?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44956784

umm...
what carrier are you? bell? rogers? ect...
i run pac on bell and get mms fine.

I had the same issue as the op. I use the app handcent SMS app from the play store and that fixes the issue sometimes. I was on cyanogenmod 10.2 when I had the issue.

So it looks like I was suffering from the ATT/cm photo resizing issue that was referenced a few replies back. The most recent nightly addressed it and it seems to work well now. Going to try to send a bunch of pictures of various sizes to verify its functionality but it looks like people with ATT and i747s should be on an even playing field on CM. I wonder how soon paranoidandroid will have this update.

I have had this issue on almost all ports and CM roms. Compounded by living in a poor service area. The only consistent fix for me is what Bruce Lee suggested and use a 3rd party sms, I like GOsms personally. Actually I like stock better so I turn off notifications in Go and greenify it until I need to send a pic.

I dont think I've tried again after fixing permissions so ill try that. Thanks. If its that easy, I'll be both happy and pissed that I didn't try that. I noticed earlier in this thread someone said something about the picassa uploader. I usually freeze that app, and was just searching for what it does. If you don't mind me asking, are you aware of any issues that may cause in sending MMS? Seems to only be involved with uploading to an account, which I dont have.

Only problems I've had with MMS are as follows:
"Sending" bug - either fix with "Fix permissions" in recovery, or just using a different mms.apk from a ROM it did work on (4.3)
APN settings - only happened once on a 4.2.2 ROM, don't remember which
Never used picassa uploader, or froze it (I don't use TiBu). But recently with the 4.3 ROM's I've tried fixing permissions is all it's taken for me. Just to be safe I've made it a practice to Fix Permissions 3 times before rebooting, also clearing cache/dalvik

Ok. Thanks. I just noticed newest CWM doesnt have fix permission so i did it through scripter. Only tied once though. It didn't work with that one try. I have also tried pushing new mms.apk but no luck. Ill try a couple more fix permissions and try again. Always nice to have new oprions for this fix so thank you again for the response.

No problem, but the newest CWM doesn't have it? I'm using Philz CWM ported by blackwing (somewhere in android dev), it's under advanced options for me. Which MMS.apk did you try?

I'm currently using novaGen ROM cm10. I tried different MMS.apk from his mrom and also a couple themed aosp apk's I grabbed from somewhere. The weird thing is, I use cool tool to monitor data sent and speed, and I can see data slowly going out but they never complete. However gosms worked on the first try. I used TW ROMs like Goodness for a long time with the same results. I also just got a new s3 cause my IMEI and or my hardware got borked and I lost my backup, so ive eliminated the phone as the issue. I do live in a tough service area but still after 45 min it fails. I get around 25% signal strength. I have tried in a better area in the past but not too recently. Same results.

Facebook/Instagram images slow to load

Facebook images on my pixel XL randomly don't load correctly. Basically when I tab a pictures to maximize it nothing happens unless I hit back and try again. Even then it sometimes doesn't work. Occasionally the same thing will happen on Instagram but mostly on FB. Search back in this thread to see if I could find anything but didn't. Does anyone else have this happen? Could it be a ram issue? I'm trying to see if it's worth it to RMA

does this type of issue occur in any other app? have you tried browsing on chrome and seeing if images fail to display properly on it? try browsing a picture heavy site like imgur and see if any of those fail. This will let you know if it's something with the phone in general or something with those two apps.
You shouldn't have to RMA off of that you can always wipe the cache, uninstall/reinstall the app, factory image without wiping. If all that fails to fix that issue then yeah you're going to need to start that exchange process...

Yeah, I've tried everything I can think of. Reinstalling doesn't work. I was running a custom rom and just went back to stock and it seemed to fix the problem but then it just started doing it again.

It might be a bug with the Facebook app. It might also be that you installed an app that is clashing with Facebook. When you went back to stock did you do a full flash of the stock image or cheat by keeping your user data? If you did the latter you might want to do a full flash where your phone starts off completely clean. If you did the former and already started out clean you might want to contact Pixel support and see if they have any ideas.
Another possibility is to do a factory reset. I'm not sure if Facebook comes on the phone by default or not. If it does don't install any of your downloaded apps and see if the Facebook app problem returns. If it doesn't download your apps one at a time until you figure out which one is causing the problem.

I'm having that issue with my IG even after a clean flash and install of my rom and the app itself

Yeah did a full wipe including user data. I'm just trying to figure out if anybody has had this issue. I'm going to try Google support and see what they say. It's not a huge deal but it takes away from the overall experience of the phone.

my instagram is very slow, too
