I set an alarm on my Galaxy Nexus to wake me up this morning. And I hear a sound before my alarm rang, then I woke up. And the sound is coming from my phone. And I thought my friend changed my alarm ringtone. But when I go into the setting, the alarm ringtone is still the one I set. But how could the ringtone changed? And i freaked out. Then I goto Gallery, All photos are gone, including camera photos, Whatsapp photo, Viber photo and also Instagram. Then I go to Play Music, all songs are also gone.
Then I searched from the net, Many posts say that it is caused by ROM Manager (RM). But I dint install it at all1 before. I only unlock my bootloader and flashed my phone to yakju using the factory image from Google Developer website, because the original one I had is yakjuxw (something like that? Cant really remember the actual variant I had).
I am using File Manager to browse the files on my phone. What I have tried since this morning are, (1) Search for .nomedia and deleted all of them. (2) Then I also cleared cache and data and also forced stop the Gallery, Google Play Music and Media Storage from Setting -> Apps -> All. (3) Then I also downloaded Rescan Media. Then i use Rescan Media. Then I go to Gallery and saw 4 to 5 photos are there. But after I repeat the procedures of clearing the cache and data, force stop and rescan, the 4 to 5 photos in gallery are gone again.
I really need the photos and songs back. Can anyone out there help me? Your advanced reply is much appreciated. Thank you.
is it stock rom?

Using file manager you can see your files, is that it? What about ADB? Can you list the files/folders through adb shell? I suggest you 'fastboot boot customrecovery.img' and fix permissions.

Nope. I use File Manager but I can't see the files too. The whole 'media' folder is gone. ADB? What is that? How do i 'fastboot boot customrecovery.img'? It sounds familiar. Is it part of flashing?

Check to see if it has a custom recovery first.
Power Off then Power On + Vol Up
Even if it doesn't have a custom recovery you can wipe data in stock recovery.
go to settings>storage>format usb storage(will erase music and photos)>and if he gave you one format SD card to clear that too hope that helps ya out

I've done that... It did erase some of the videos he had on here and what not. But some apps still act as if there is data on the phone that's his. Could it be some identifying number in the phone itself is making the apps think it's his?.. ugh... so confusing..

Try removing whatever google account is linked. I think you can do that under sync settings.
There is a stock recovery on the phone you access by the same hold Vol Up and Power button method. It does have the data wipe/factory reset option.
Same thing was happening to me.
Two things:
1.Settings>privacy>Factory Data Reset) this will erase all the accounts and settings
&
2. Settings>Storage>Format Usb Storage and Format SD card.
I kept forgetting to erase Usb Storage as some App folders & setttings are kept there.
Hope it helps.

Then use a file explorer (from your PC or from the phone, your preference) and make sure the internal SD card was really cleared.
Google doesn't sync based on the phone number. Are both his account and yours showing under Accounts and Sync?
The guy who sold it to you either is a moron for not wiping his phone and should be thanking his lucky stars that you aren't a dishonest person, or maybe he sold you a stolen phone and didn't care that it wasn't wiped because it wasn't his data...
Not that out matters necessarily, but did the person say why the ESN was bad? I'm just curious. I get amused by the people who somehow rack up a crazy bill with Sprint.

The app says that it saves to SD/downloadmanager. The folder was empty. The app didn't have a folder I could easily identify either. Didn't even think to try uninstalling the app (slaps palm against forehead.) So I did that. We'll see.

My camera app isn't saving anything locally whenever I take a picture. In fact, there's no gallery icon in the camera app at all that you can normally click on it to take you there.
Also, when I try to attach a photo to a message from the MMS app, Gallery crashes and photo never attaches.
Finally, when I load up Gallery manually, all it sees is my 'Screenshots' folder and a couple of screenshots that I have saved in there. There's no camera photos anywhere.
I'm running AOKP JB B2 and FrankoKernel Milestone 5
Any ideas? I've tried SD rescan already. I'm wondering if I need to reformat my internal storage. I've just noticed that my 'external storage' isn't showing up when I plug my GN into my PC as well and whenever I run SDRescan, SwiftKey starts getting angry and tells me I have no language files and I have to redownload the English dictionary again.

Downloading now. My service is abysmal at work so it's taking a little bit.
EDIT: CameraICS has no icon for the Gallery when taking pictures. The pictures that are taken don't get saved to SD card. Trying to attach a picture to a message with it crashes CameraICS, instead of crashing Gallery as with the stock JB camera.

Depends on the Gapps package. Some have the Google built Gallery/Camera (with Picasa sync) others leave the source built version which has extra features such as using the power button for the shutter (but no Picasa sync).

This happened to me when I first rooted my Nexus. The camera toke the pics, but they weren't saved... plus some other weird things.
It ended being a file/folder permissions issue. It seems I did a nandroid backup restoration in a wrong way (I wanted to restore my previous data, after the mandatory wipe out of the rooting method).
Anyways... The post that gave me tips for the fix was this one (from user cmstlist):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26967620&postcount=7
Sometimes the file ownerships get messed up after a cycle of recovering the OS and restoring files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1515291&page=2
If you have any other directories/files that you can't modify or delete, then boot into CWM recovery, plug in the USB cable, go into adb shell. Also make sure that /data is mounted in the CWM mounts menu. Then:
cd /data/media
chown -R media_rw.media_rw *
This fixed it for me and others.

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

Thanks for that, but this particular thing does not let itself become disabled, the option is greyed-out. Here and on other sites I read that indeed the only way to have it NOT trun up in Google Play constantly is to remove the FWUpgrade.apk.
But I am afraid I cannot do that without root-access, unless someone has a work-around?
Yea ull need root. It's easy to root, just flash an already rooted stock Rom with Odin.
