Can I restore photos deleted from my Samsung Galaxy S4?
I accidently deleted the full contents of the "Camera" folder on my Samsung Galaxy S4. All the photos and video that I had taken in the last 2 months were lost. I know I should back them up. Is there any way I can restore them?
Unfortunately, they are gone for good. There is no recycle bin in Android.

When a "delete" is performed, only the space that the file occupies is marked as blank and can be reused by new files, but the deleted file will be still there until new data overwrites it. Hence, if you haven't shot any new photos or video clips, you still can recover deleted photos with the help of Samsung Galaxy recovery software.

It is hard to say you can recover them or not. You had better to try to scan your phone to preview the photos. If your computer can detect your phone as a external disk, you can try some data recovery software. Hope this help.
There are some apps in the playstore that say they recover erased pictures

i recently deleted some really important files how can i recover them from the root directory not sd or ex sd
has anyone actually been able to do it?
Hi, I have the same issue. Deleted a few pics and videos on my Samsung Galaxy S4 by mistake and now I cant find a way to recover them. I have tried all standard softwares like Dr Fone for Android and all. But then I hit the MTP wall
Have been researching on this for quite a while but havent found any worthwhile solutions
Is there anyone who has actually successfully recovered data on S4? There are a few apps out there which require rooted device but I am not sure if I want to do that
Someone, please to help...
Disk Digger worked for me. It's free in the play store.

Did you root your phone yourself for Disk Digger to work properly? Its description reads that it doesnt work on unrooted phones

I have an Original Droid, with all the apps and data on it. I'll be buying a GNex when they come out. What is the procedure for transferring all the apps from my Droid to the Nexus? I have TI and MyBackup installed and the Droid is already rooted (no special ROM). Is it just a matter of backing up the apps and data to the SD card and transferring that to the Nexus, downloading the backup app and restoring it? Seems a little simple that way... Maybe I'm trying to make this more complicated than it should be, but better to ask the more experienced among us, than screw up all my data.....
Thanks in advance...
Im sure both apps have to be updated to support ics first before you can do that, but yes that pretty much what you have to do.

It appears the Galaxy Nexus has no SD card, so transfer from SD to PC/Mac to internal storage may be needed - ? -

I took it as him meaning backing it up on the sd card to a CPU, then to the phone. But yeah
What I do when transferring phones is just make a list if the apps I want to keep, then I'll redownload them

Yes but with an app like my backup pro, u can also backup and restore data from the apps. Just don't do system apps

Sure, if you don't mind losing any app data. Saved logins, etc.
Titanium Backup has dropbox support. I've never tried it other than uploading all the backups, but it seems like you can download TB on the Nexus, hook up dropbox and have it download all your apps, which you can then restore.
I plan on trying this, since there are a few programs with data that I don't want to lose (car maintenance, pilot logbook, etc.)

Let us know how that works out for you...
Ti Backup has dropbox support. Back apps+data up to your dropbox, then restore from dropbox on your Nexus.
I've done it many times, works flawlessly.
Hello again, I love the galaxy y but My internal memory is only 160MB and it's almost full and now I can't install any more apps I already moved all the apps I could to the SD Card ....
Is there any way to free up some pc or any way to remove that f**king bloatware from samsung ?

Lol too late xc
I was looking at this one,
We needed a bunch of phones to run Google Authenticator on (so nothing fancy), but for normal use 256MB of RAM is not much.
I come across the HTC Explorer, which has 512MB, better screen and is around 130eur.
try uninstalling unwanted apps on the system like email,maps, etc. But be careful of what you uninstall! This may lead to boot loop. And bricking you're phone. Try reading google docs. You can uninstall it using Titanium Backup.
If you're memory too low, try partitioning you're sd card.
I just partitioned my sdcard, and used link2sd.
I'm on a stock rom btw, but fully rooted.
After setting it up, it worked fine. No conflicts on start up and the second partition mounted fine.
Only thing that was weird, is after linking all apps to card, there was a mount error, and in log on /data for link2sd, it said phone or resources busy.
Reboot again, and it's fine. I tried it, and booted several times now with no more problems. It's just the one mount error. Perhaps a slight bug but it's fine now.
I partitioned my card with the cwm zip skin done, in developer section (madteamgalaxyY.zip works too)
So give link2sd a try.
I've close to 100 applications installed, and i've still got almost 159mb space on internal memory.
I also removed all the bloat from the rom too, that I didn't want.
So if you're rooted, or know what you're doing, then I'd advise you on the above.
If your not root savvy, then look it up, google it, and research, so you know what you're doing lolz.
I know a lot now, but I'm still only a rookie, and no developer by any standards. Just a user who's more savvy, and not too scared to mess up.
Good luck, and hope that helps.
If your not rooted, just search the forums here for the update.zip. to root it via stock recovery if you're comfortable with rooting, and only if you know what you're doing ;-)
As if you mess up, it's on your own head lolz. I'm just giving advice, based on what I did, to solve the space issue on our galaxy y.
Good luck anyways ;-)

Yup, like I said. But if you wish to partition your card by computer, then google and forum search is your friend ;-)
But personally, using the cwm zip, on the developer forum section does the job fine. Just search for it ;-)

This list shows which ones are safe and which ones are not. I used this list. I can't remember who posted this list here originally, but I remember bookmarking it. (Apologies to original poster, if I haven't credited you, but I can't remember who you are)
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...=0Ag43oj7rLQP4dENZcmhGN0ZUa3pHSENVeXlqUm5vV0E
That should get you on your way.
And finally if you want my advice, please read FAQ's in the link2sd app menu, in about section and visit the developers site, as there is a lot of information that will help you further, and will help educate you on things you may not be sure on. It helped me, a lot.
I didn't ask questions, when I was learning new tricks, I just educated myself by searching here and via google, as some people moan if you ask before searching, but I don't mind telling if I know or remember lolz.
Anyways, good luck.

How come your galaxy y has only 160 MB as internal memory? mine has 190 MB.
Another thing
Another thing I noticed is that it keeps telling me my internal memory is low even when the installed apps probably occupy only about 35 MB.
I'm considering doing a factory reset.

I resently uninstalled my Samsung Social Hub from my T-989 T-Mobile SGSII (It may work on all Samsung Galaxy S II's) and was at a lost on how to get it back. I read about 10 to 15 post and they gave the instructions but the files couldn't be found on there download sites. I attempted to figure it out with SUCCESS!!... Mind you, I am BRAND NEW to creating anything for phones... So please go easy on me.
1. In ClockworkMod Recovery flash:
1samsung_social_hub_Push then 2.Social_hub_7.52. Incase only one of there installs, you should still be fine as it did for me, my auto updated to the latest Social Hub.
2. Reboot your phone and let it start up as normal.
3. Unzip the SocialHubAPKs on your PC. Once unzipped, copy all APKs to you SD card on your Android phone (and remember their location)
4. Now using a Root Explorer on your phone, find all the APKs, copy all & paste them in the "/system/app" folder located on you SGSII.
5. Now that all the Social Hubs from the zip are placed in the /SYSTEM/APP folder, simply REBOOT your phone and open up Social Hub, ENJOY!!...
PS: I used 1Samsung_social_hub and 2.Social_hub_7.52 from another page but couldn't remember from where... So Thank You to you guys for the first to parts, the APK's I put together myself... But it worked... This should also work if you have a debloated ROM but want Social Hub on your phone...

Guys:
I've just turned mi Galaxy S4 from i337m to i9505 with Wanamlite 1.5 but when I try to sign in to Samsung Hub it says: "Invalid Device ID".
Do you know any solution? I've got some movies I bought before and I can't watch them
Truth be told, I don't wanna go back to i337m roms because they do not support apps to sd.
I would first uninstall app. Use file manger to delete apk info. I would use prop edit and rename the build prop of the new phone to the old one and reinstall the apk. Your Apks and movies should work

Might I suggest, sadly, the last two options:
Completely delete the entire SD card. If that doesn't work, format your phone. If you're rooted, backup any NECESSARY data, (no options, settings or anything like that, just in case it's related to the settings, but you can make a back up, just don't restore), and then reset device to factory default and see if that eliminates the issue.
Wait, are you rooted? On stock Android Galaxy Note 2? Or do you have any special changes done to your phone?

Are you on CM10?
I believe that this is a bug that has been hitting Samsung phones. It's either, a) a fault in the MMC chip, or b) a CM10 bug. I've had that happen 3 times to me, the 1st time I had no backups and lost over 10GB of media from my External SD Card. The other 2 times I was prevented and lost everything but had a backup. So protip : backup each time you have something new on your phone. Better safe than sorry.
Now, download this program and run it. It'll recover almost all the deleted photos from your SD : http://www.piriform.com/recuva

Hi, I dont know if I have CM10 :S .. i only know that I have anything as brand new (stock rom).
I found a solution but it`s not 100% working.
I downloaded Fish bowl gallery and go in setting>advanced>find missing photos> and than I select the maps where the photos are but are not shown in the stock gallery.
I waited till photos are added and now i have 100 photos (of 117 total) added in my stock gallery (but i still does not have other 17 photos)
Thank you
You should return your phone. If your pictures aren't showing up even after flashing an official rom then something is wrong.

No way to flash/root your tab without trippin knox sorry... and for your data: it is really really difficult to restore your data/pics. As soon as you start doing some other stuff on your resetted tab, it will begin to overwrite the old data, that's what deleting does: It says the tab, there is storage that is free now and can be overwritten... so there are kind of 5% chance to get it back
If you are prepared too root your device I have had good success with disk digger. Several times I have used it and recovered nearly everything.
Just ensure you don't recover to the same location.
@Tkkg1994 I see. Thanks for the information. I will stick to not rooting my Tab. @ashyx Cool! Thank you! Will use that app first incase i decide to root .. (Which maybe too late by now, since already have used the Tab to store other stuff as well)

Next time, turn on photo upload in Dropbox or google+. I use it all the time and when ever I take a picture, it uploads to one of them. I have flashed many roms and have also lost data. But all my pictures were saved in the cloud in which I can restore them anytime I want!

Same here, all my pics and vids get auto backed up to Google photos. Plus I only ever use the sd card for media storage. Much easier to recover from an sd card.
+1 to that @DUHAsianSKILLZ but 3G is very limited here. So. Can't.
@ashyx True for the SD card part. Thanks. I just use "Recuva" foe that, but this time it's the internal storage, so.
