Ok so i know how to use adb and all a little bit. So anyways i "adb pull"ed my pictures from my old captivate that i dropped and the screen cracked and i just "push"ed the photos and thumbnails to my new captivate but the pictures are not showing up in the gallery. Can someone help me?
Why not just drag the pics from your comp to you new captivate. If you pulled them correctly they should be in the adb folder.
Or just cut and paste to computer from sd card to phone?

Ok. This is weird. I've been using my phone to tether these past 2 days. Racked in about 800mb of usage.
Heres the weird part:
I was going to show my friend a picture and I opened up my photos. I only had about 10 pictures in there to begin with but when I opened it I had over 100 pictures. They were pictures of parts of sites I had visited while tethering. I had a picture of Chumley EX's Avatar the one with the little kitten in the bag, had pictures of banners from websites, pictures of random people from myspace, they all appear to be little GIF images. I manually deleted them but when I go to view pictures I have empty spaces with a Circle with a slash through it. Like a stop smoking sign. What's wrong?
By the way when I click on the blank spot where a picture is supposed to be (the stop smoking circle looking icon) it says "Unable to open this type of "JPEG" file. On some others I get " Cannot delete '0' The file is in use"
Update***
I fixed it. How did I do it you may ask? By default pictures are stored in memory at in the DCIM-100MEDIA folder. I copied allt he pictures in the 100MEDIA folder. (those weird pictures were no where to be found in there by the way). I copied them in the my documents folder on device memory. After verifying my pictures copied successfully I deleted the DCIM folder on sD card and created a new DCIM folder with a folder called 100MEDIA in it. I copied all my pictures back in the sD and voila problem solved. Kind of freaky how it saved pictures from sites I visited while tethering. Asa precautuion I'm going to move all info from sD card and reformat it.
Gang,
I believe I've found a thread that describes a problem similar to mine:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552826
It talked about the camera folder messing up. But in that thread, at least they can still see the files, but having the wrong file sizes. Mine just vanishes.
Here is what I'm experiencing right now. I took about 10 pictures sequentially, was able to view them via Resco Photo Viewer (This has been my pic viewer ever since). Then after a few days when I wanted to show them to a friend, the contents in my \DCIM\100XPRIA\ folder in the SD card were all wiped out clean! Another thing I noticed is that every time I go into this folder, it takes a while before I get control of my phone again (around 10 seconds after), after that, it shows me nothing. I tried taking pictures again, the camera app was complaining about not being able to take the picture. The next thing I did was to rename the DCIM folder to "DCIM Temp", then created another DCIM folder. I was able to take pictures again, and guess what, all the missing pictures reappeared in "DCIM Temp"! I was able to open the pictures again. But again after a few days, the new pictures in DCIM\100XPRIA have gone missing. I tried the folder renaming technique again but it didn't work anymore. I couldn't take pictures again. The next thing I did was to change the "Save To" option of the Camera App to save to phone instead of memory card. I was able to take pictures, was able to open the pictures via Resco Photo Viewer, but then when I transferred the pictures to the SD card, again I couldn't open the picture. I was thinking it might be a faulty SD card, but how come only pictures that were taken by the X1 camera have this problem? All of my documents can be opened, pictures from other sources can also be opened, videos etc. Only the X1 camera pictures have multiple problems (either vanishing or can't be opened).
I currently have an R3A ROM, with a 16GB Sandisk micro SD card. I never take the SD card out, I always use the supplied USB cable to connect the X1 to my computer as a flash drive. I first noticed this problem when I still had R2A. But I never thought of it as a camera problem, because I just thought the SD card got corrupted when one time I pulled the USB cable from my PC too quickly, and got that "delayed write failure" balloon message from Vista. The symptoms I've experienced that time was the phone being unresponsive for 10secs when I try to go into some folders (like the DCIM folder I have explained at the start of this post). That prompted me to reformat the SD card and took the opportunity to upgrade to R3A. Right now when I step back and try to remember those affected folders in the SD Card (when still in R2A), I seem to recall all of them having at least 1 file that came from the camera app, like:
\DCIM\100XPRIA
\My Documents\My Pictures\Family
\My Documents\My Pictures\Gadgets
.
.
All the pictures the camera took go straight to \DCIM\100XPRIA, I then rename some of them and transfer to these other folders.
Does the X1 camera app have problems creating its output files? If yes, is there a patch or 'new' ROM I can install to get rid of this problem? I really hope someone can help me.
Thanks for your time.
Any takers? I hope somebody has experienced this problem and can guide me through, thanks!
I haven't heard or experienced this problem yet. I think you should try formatting the card again after you backup. Then before reloading the files, test to see if the same thing happens to your pictures.
Is there anyway to just add pictures to the Camera Roll folder and Saved Pictures folder that is created by the phone automatically? Say I have a bunch of pictures and want them to end up in the Camera Roll folder on my phone. Well, when I add them to the folder on my PC, they show up fine in my collection. The problem is, the folder created by Zune to back up those pics taken with my phone are in From KWILL HTC HD7. So, when I copy those pics from my PC to the device, the phone creates a From KWILL HTC HD7 folder and then puts them in the Camera Roll folder. I don't want a whole new folder just because I want to add some pics to the Saved Pictures or Camera Roll folder. Hope that makes sense and thanks for any input.
I had this when I reflashed my phone the other day, it's easy, just go to your My Pics Folder then into the KWILL folder and the Camera Roll within that, select them all, cut, then go to the new folder for your phone and paste them into the Camera Roll folder in that, once you have everything out of the KWILL Folder structure, just delete it, Zune will pick up the changes straight away and sync everything the way you have changed it.

Ok, tried that. And I think I tried that already as one of the many attempts at a workaround But, the stuff on my actual phone never syncs the stuff in the Camera Folder or Saved Pictures folder on my PC. Now my collection on the PC picks up the stuff I added, it just never makes it to the actual phone unless I add drag it all back to the phone. In which case, it then creates the stupid From KWILL HTC HD7 folder. I mean, you would think that MSFT would know that no one wants that actual folder name copied to their device and the most logical thing would be that people are just trying to put stuff into the two respective (and already created by them) folders.
Ok, nevermind. Think I got it now. This time I went to the folder that was in my collection such as Camera Roll and then right clicked and hit sync with....and now it seems to be getting it right. Fingers crossed and thanks.
I have video that I want to put on my computer and edit. The USB connection does not work. The computer using Windows Vista, does not recognize the phone.The video was stored in the phone before I had a removable memory card in place. Now, I need to move the video onto that card, so that I may put that card in a card reader, and to my USB port on my computer. The guys in the AT&T store were unable to help me, and Samsung does not answer the customer service phones. I am old ,and not at all savey with electronics. If at all possable please answer in as plain English as possible. I understand that it may not be possable to answere in plain English.If that's the case I can always print it out ,and take that to the AT&T store, if I don't get it.
Thanks
File manager, navigate to where the video is saved. Once you find video long press, select copy. Navigate back then find the folder for your external sd. It will either be a folder named sd, or external sd. Go inside it. Click paste. Once it does its thing it should be there.
Miui
Holy crap, this is basic file navigation. Your AT$T store must hire brain-dead zombies to work there.
yea, file manager or astro
