I'd like some help to, if possible, access the internal memory to retrieve some recorded video. I'll explain why this is a problem.
I was recording quite a bit of video the other day and I only used the pause button, not the stop button, and it appears the SGS(with gingerbread) does not save the video unless you press stop. But I'm hoping the phone will have the video on memory and that it didn't actually delete it, it's just not recognizing the recorded video as used space. Would it be possible to access the area of the memory the phone thinks is free space? I'd appreciate very much.
Previous post exact same subject from memory answer was no.
But recuva may read deleted stuff on phone and root explorer or super manger may find the files on the phone .

I've got a HTC TyTN and a 6GB MicroSD memory card.
I was taking photos with the internal cam, I’ve set the camera to stores the photos on the MicroSD card. The card was filled with 2GB of music files. This is the problem I’ve experienced.
The camera indicates its possible to store 0 photo’s on the MicroSD card. When i delete a few music files, I had around 1700MB stored in use on the card. Now its possible to store more than 300 photos (in 3MPX format) on the card.
Is this a bug, because I had more than 4GB free space left. Could someone test this?
Believe it or not this might be a directory limitation. I had the same problem before with my O2 xda IIs. I put every single thing in the root directory.
I forget what the limit was, but as soon as I sorted my content and added them to subdirectories that I created - the problem was solved. Try that.
Thanks will test this out. I have some tomtom maps in de root, maybe thats the issue.
same problem here...4110MB free and only 27 pics to go!
I added a 700MB xvid movie on my storage card and now i've got 2000 pictures to go again. I think there is some kind of limitation. The card is filled for 2500MB now.. so there is enough room voor the photos
Will try that tonight
hmmm, i think i know what the problem is: if the camera reads the free disk space the old way (32bits) the maximum free space correctly reported is 2 or 4G depending on the signed / unsigned type (remember the old problem windows had with files > 2G ?).
Thats what i thought in the first place.. thats why i posted it on the forums ;p.. maybe somebody had a fix for this issue.
just did put 309MB of MP3 on it and i got now 7363 pics to take...so thanks very much
I have a lot of pictures in my SD card.
When I insert the card,Galaxy S starts media scan.
But...It is too long to wait.
While media scanning,I can launch Gallery App.
How can I disable Media Scan?

i have a class 6 adata 16gb card in.. it scans memory twice once for internal sd and 2nd for yourown.. it finishes withing 2-3 minutes after startup.. if yours is taking longer recommend you get a newer faster memory card.. without media scan you will never see new pictures movie in galary or new music.

Media Scanning
Hey there,
Did you ever get this sorted out? Looks like you may have. If I may ask, how long was it taking you to sync? So far, the one thing that could be a deal-breaker for this phone is the fact that Media Scanning is taking FOREVER. So far, I think it's been going for at least 45 minutes. Granted, this is a SanDisk 32GB, which is only a class 2, but primarily what I have on there is photos and music, with just a few video clips. The Droid X which I'm also trying takes a fraction of the time (perhaps several minutes but only does once). Is there a way out of the freeze or delay? Not sure it's ever going to finish and don't really wanna start over from scratch again!
Any help is appreciated!!
Thanks,
K-
Even without any external SD card, mine is taking time to do media scan. Yes, the wait is annoying, but only when I soft reboot. Not a big deal for me. I suspect that's the way Android works. In winmo and iPhone, there is no such wait. May be you guys with experience on other android phones could confirm that this happens to all android phones?
Shirley if it could be disabled you could push manual scan after putting files on
Read an interesting blog a while back. Never tried it my self since I don't have that much media on my card.
Some thing about putting .nomedia file in your directory and putting a dot (.) infront of your directory name.

Get a startupmanager (is in the market) and disable the mediastorage under the system tab. startupmanager is a trial, but after you applied the setting you can uninstall the app and setting remain there. Then if you want to manually scan get the scanmedia app (also in market).

yes it will work.. but better to use nomedia with the huge directory that is causing the hangup or get a faster card.. reason.. if you have any music you want to play or mp3 ringtones.. they will not work if you disable scan. ie you will not have your ringtones.. but stock sounds such as beeping when a call comes in.
What does Media Scan do?
What does media scan even do?

just use ScanMedia app , it will do the scan for you in almost no time it's one one click app
Using a rooted but otherwise stock ROM I removed the "Media Storage" component entirely via Root Uninstall. Now the phone actually takes slightly longer to locate my apps and widgets on boot, however it no longer has to rescan every time I put it in USB Mass Storage mode and/or disconnect it. i use the phone as a flash drive for my job extensively (that and ConnectBot FTW!) so this was a major issue for me.
I suppose disabling the media scanner would be a safer approach, but if anyone is wondering, you CAN safely remove this entirely if you have a rooted phone. In my case, I'm using WinAMP as my music player, so don't need it for that. Gallery still works flawlessly so this service isn't used by Gallery I think.
I have noticed one single side effect of this though. Apparently Google+ installed to my SD card by default, which disabled the Google+ widget entirely (removed it and couldn't re-add it). Simply moving the app to internal storage solved this.
Hi,
I recorded video with my galaxy s and after 15min of recording i accidentally touched the back button on my phone. Recording stopped immediately but video file wasn't saved anywhere. Is there any way to find that video file anymore or is it gone forever. I think there must be some kind of temp file of that video somewhere in my phone but i can't find it.
This video is very important to me so any kind of help would be highly appreciated.
Connect your phone in USB mass storage mode and search but i think you have no chance .

i think android recording method is stupid ..
not only you have to push the "stop" button' but also then choose "save".
i have lost many precious videos beacuse of that.
I tried mass storage mode and several recovery programs but they didn't find right video. I think that maybe unsaved videos could be found in phone system folders but only memory cards are showing in USB mass storage mode. Any ideas how to search from system folders?

Hello,
I have just recorder a movie with my wp8 device and cannot find where to view it on the phone.
Do not tell me I cannot do this...
Where is it? In photos/camera roll is not, in music&videos is not. Where is it??
P.S just found out that on a longer video, the SD card stores the video but it appears as used space on Others, and it's missing from Photos/camera roll
Use the Music+Videos hub.
RE:
Got it solved. the problem was my SDcard, the movies weren't saved. I have formatted my microsd card in the phone and now it works.
Just got the phone and I'm digging my way through it but I've found that for some reason my music and video files are not being seen by the phone.
Photographs are fine, but I see no obvious way of forcing the walkman and movie apps to scan my SD card. The files are still there and I've tried unmounting/remounting but I'm not having much luck.
Has anyone else experienced this? I tried to search but only saw reports of skipping tracks etc.
Edit: I've come from a Galaxy S3 and the card was formatted on that phone - could it be a slightly different file organisation system? I hope I don't have to reformat!
I understood the media server will scan for files if you:
- Add new media to the SD card and unplug USB cable.
- When you power cycle the device.
If all this fails maybe try an app like "Rescan Media":
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-addz-mediascanner-jtDAw.aspx
Rescan Media is a simple app will rescan your mobile phone for new files that usually happens on a system re-boot.
It only calls the android media scanner.
Kind regards, Stefan.
You can also delete android folder from the sd and reboot.

Thanks guys. Oddly enough I'm now seeing my files. It seemed to just happen! When I rebooted and used usb, nothing happened. Then out of the blue it just does it, unexplainable! That app looks handy though
can't find the media
Same to me. I can find any mp3 or mp4 file that i have in sdcard in my walkman, Still can see it through file explore. How can I fix it? Tried media scan app, flash new app, wipe anything... but still can't see anything in the damn screen.
Please help me! You can send email for me: [email protected]
