I did factory reset to my galaxy nexus because it was too slow
when I did it .. the music and picture weren't deleted but the problem is when I connect the phone to pc .. I see the music and pictures folder empty .. does anyone know why ?
Check in other folders.
Are we talking custom recovery factory reset or factory reset from inside Android?

Did you buy you Gnex from Google Play store or a carrier? Do you have an external scrim slot? You may need to reconfigure the media program since you are now attaching a "new" device to your computer.

Hi guys, i've forgot the lock screen pin, but theres no option for it to be restored via the forgot password gmail.
I haven't got a backup of my photos and videos, its all im botheed about but a factory reset wil wipe these wont they?
What are my options if any?
A factory reset will only wipe your apps, app data, calls, and messages.
Do you have Samsung Dive set up or an app such as Creberus? They can unlock your screen.
I have setup samsung dive before hand but its doesnt work, i've left it on all night and it just says connecting.
So factory reset wont wipe my photo's and video's?
Factory reset would in fact wipe your photos and videos if they are located in internal storage. But how do you intend to factory reset if you can't unlock the phone?
I've factory reset and lost everything now guys, gutting really as i've just came back from a holiday and eveything was on there, i booted up into recovery mode and did it from there.
I'm pretty sure there's an adb unlock command or similar.

Well all images and videos are gone now anyway. Doubt there is a way to get them back. They were pricless too. Only myself to blame though.
My phone always sends my photos or videos to Dropbox and it's even save on my Google account... So how come it's not the case for you??

ii was on holiday in spain, the roaming charges would be very expensive!
If i root the phone could the images be stored somewhere, or as the factory reset totally wiped them?
There is an undelete app in market. Whether it will work or not is a different issue altogether though.

It's still possible to recover photos/videos from internal memory after a factory reset.
Just dont do anything with the phone and use airplane mode. Dont enable any wireless/data connectivity so the phone autorestore anything.
Download any recover software and install it on PC. Like Recuva, any free recover software or follow this guide (it use Stellar Photo Recovery software): http://android-photo-recovery.com/tutorials/recover-deleted-photos-videos-from-android-phones-internal-memory.html
Connect phone to PC and use the photo recover software to scan through phones internal memory. Use deep scan and hopes for luck to recover as many as possible. U wont recover all the photos/videos, since the factory reset have overwritten most of it and just hopes for the best.
Also, best is get a microsd card, can then choose between to take photos/videos and save it to internal or external card. I choose all photos/videos taken with camera to save it to mine 64GB microsd card. That way, even factory reset wont delete any photos/videos from external sdcard. Also can manual move all important files to external card, or use sync software to sync between PC/phone with wireless, whenever at home. Like Cheetah Sync app.
I had previously installed the gingerbread keyboard app on my device. It recently stopped working and now I am unable to unlock my phone. When I slide the ring to open it says enter pin but no keyboard pops up. I am trying to save all my data, music pictures etc. But I am unable to sync to PC while phone is locked. Please tell me somebody knows a way to get my stuff without doing a factory reset which would likely wipe everything!!

Wipe data/factory reset from recovery... That way you'll keep everything on the virtual sd card, but loose all settings and apps if you wanna do a wipe...
But there has to be a way to enable the keyboard without wiping...

So a factory reset will not wipe data like pictures and music files?
The HTC tech said there was about a 50 50 chance it might.
I was wondering if there was an external wired keyboard I could attach to enter my PIN

Which rom/os you are using? Either your problem is not about hardware. Check the file properties if they're System Protected (Windows), these files mostly won't shown in phone, this is said to be virus problem. Which is the company of your memory card? Because cheap mc's from unknown vendors can cause such problem!

I don't think that Linux<>Android really needs a antivirus and it is useful for scan a virus, I'm talking about your PC's or Lappie's if & only if it's windows in case you've you've had plugged?
I am trying to sell my wifes old S4 Mini after she dropped it and cracked the display. The problem I have is I want to factory reset it to clear any sensitive data.
Is it possible when the LCD will not come on at all? The phone does connect to my pc for file transfer fine.
If its not possible what files can I safely delete from the phone manually from the PC? After looking through the folders there is only the Android Data and OBB folders that need stuff deleting from.
If I can safely delete any from here is there a way to make sure they remain deleted and are not recoverable?
Cheers in advance!

Thanks, anyone got any idea how long it is before the Samsung logo comes up as the thread I read says you need to stop pressing Vol Up + Power + Home at this point?
I'm trying different times but I just cannot get it into bootloader, ADB isnt recognizing any devices.
It's fast, press power and immediately as it vibrates press home and vol+ but give it a minute to let the recovery boot, then connect if the command fastboot devices show a device you're good to go
I think flashing a stock with odin+pit file and repartition wipe all but this is risky
Recently I "accidentally" formatted my phone thinking it wouldn't delete my pictures because before it never deleted the pictures and stuff but this time it did and i was wondering if it's possible to recover those data? Like pictures and stuff. Is it possible?

If your phone is rooted, then use DiskDigger app, available on play store. It can recover any kind of data from the phone Unless the data is overwritten.
no luck
Connect the phone to the PC and download a recovery program to your PC and recover the files as you would normally do with any USB stick or an SD card I've done it many times.
I won't tell you the name of the software or where to find here, but if you know about torrents you will manage it.
