Is there a way to recover pictures on crashed SD card???

can someone help me ?? just like title says, i lost all the pics of my daughter when she was borned, as well as some other important pic..( yeh, i know i was being dumb for storing that many pics on it...)

search google for photo recovery theres a bunch of apps out there to help you out.
My gf's sd card for her camera which had over 1000 pics got corrupted and i found an app and recovered all photos except for 4-5 of them. Can't remember the name of the app but do a google search, may head over to cnet.com and check out some software reviews. There are some free ones out there so don't pay for one unless people recommend it.

I remember some softwares can do that recovery. You can google and will get the detailed information.

this one worked for me although not a freeware

yes you can! search google for data recovery softwares. u'll find many.
but take care not to use the sd card by overwriting data till you are done with recovery.

not freeware http://www.runtime.org/
i use this program quite often and it has always worked.

Freeware: Recuva

[Q] Backup Data for Updates

Okay I apologize beforehand if this has been answered somewhere else in the forums. I don't have much time to look around on the forums like I used to.
I have an HTC HD7 and I like to keep my phone up to date and whatnot, but I've been reluctant to because of all the data I lose when I do the updates. Things like contacts aren't an issue, but the Zune Marketplace doesn't reinstall your apps like the Android Marketplace did. As well as loosing all of my apps, my music is gone as well. Which with my very large music library, it gets to be a huge hassle to pick out the music I want on my HD7 each time a new update comes out, whereas with Android It was all stored on my SD card and nothing was lost, the same issue for my pictures. Also I've read a bit on XBMod's cab sender, and it seems like none of the developers seem to use it, that or they're having problems with it.
So, with that said, I was wondering if there were any apps or workarounds to back up my apps/music/pictures on my phone and restore them post update.
Any sort of help or direction is greatly appreciated.

If you update officially, via Zune, then everything is retained. It is only if you go down the route of Hard/Soft SPL'ing and using custom made ROM's that you have that issue. It is also probably fair to say, that if restoring everything post update is a pain/bothers you, then perhaps following the route of Customs ROM's and multiple, quick updates is not for you?

I know that, and the hd7 isn't exactly my first rodeo, I started with my touch pro 2 and got addicted and developed ORD xD. Since then ive had an HTC aria, and a dual boot hd2. Now with my HD7 I still share the passion, ive just noticed that it's a bit more of a hassle because of the way the OS works. I will continue to update either way, but I was searching for an alternative route to post flash restoration. Its mostly the music that I wish I could keep, because as I stated I have a HUGE collection.

I hear yeah I wish more rom cookers would issue update cabs as well as a fresh install nbh file. I've mentioned it in dotcompt deepshining rom thread since he has the xbox/yuki certa cooked in. That way nothing is lost, it updates just what need to be just like Zune does.
On the other hand there is a program that backs up 3rd party apps but that's only for like save data and ****. You would have to install the app first... For instance angry birds progress. That way you don't have to do it all over...

Yeah, that would make things simpler. Lol and i saw that, but it wasn't what im looking for. I really just want a way to easily reinstall my apps, and music without having to find them all or going through my collection every time. Cause out of the whole process, if you use your phone as your mp3 player like i do then you'll end up spending a lot of time doing the same thing.

you can put the music of your choice in the Music Folder (Windows 7) and check sync all items in Zune. In this way you wont have to prepare the music collection time and again.
I use this method for retaining my music, videos and pictures. I have prepared a list of apps I always use and it takes my 20-30 minutes to download and install, but its worth the fun
Hope this helps.

That would work, but I use Zune as my primary music player. So all of my collection shows there. I was considering copying just the music I want to my laptop and using that as my "dock" for my windows phone. But I was just wanting to see what other options I had before I went to that.

I have pretty much the same issues... Me and my girl both have hd7's. Both use them for mp3 players in the cars...
I've tried making two folders and just changing th sync folder but for some reason Zune doesn't seem to recognize it that quick. Haven't figured out why but even after restarting Zune sync folder doesn't change even though settings did...
Wish Zune had options to sync two or more different devices or at least direct drag and drop from windows explorer to little phone icon at bottom of Zune.

The solution I use for quickly picking and re-syncing the music after a flash is to build a playlist in Zune specifically for the music I want to keep on the phone. Then only sync that playlist. Gets trickier for podcasts and if you download directly to the phone from Zune and "backsync" it though

[Q] Install Google Music Manager on device?

Okay, I am a complete noob, as my problem will prove, so I apologize for surely misusing standard terms. Here we go...
I have a Google Music account on my cm7 nook and need a way to run their Music Manager. I don't own ANY type of other hardware (PC, Mac, nothing) but have several sd cards worth of music I want to upload to the cloud locker.
I have downloaded the app in several formats (.exe, .rpm, .deb) and failed to install before realizing the inherent infeasability of running a .exe on an android device.
The only possible way I think I may have found is to install ubuntu on the device (through adb?) and installing the debian package of the Manager. From what I saw on the ubuntu thread I think I may need a PC to burn the ubuntu image.
My question is can anyone tell me how to run the Music Manager on my nook? The easier the better, but I am willing to learn...
Thanks!
Running a rooted nook color, cm7.1.

I would check out the nookbuntu thread on how to put it on your nook. I suppose you will be able to put music manager on there by getting the .deb However i havent had much luck in the past getting ubuntu on the nook working, and im not sure if you have access to your SD card from the Ubuntu environment.
If you don't have a computer, where is all your music stored?
This looks like its going to be a lot of hassle every step of the way and might not work, honestly if i were you I'd find a friend you can put music manager on their computer, Put all your music on an external HDD or something, and see if they will patiently let it upload.

All of the music is stored on micro sds. I have tried to accomplish the tracks in a variety including dropbox w/dropsync among others but while I have succeeded in getting the tracks on the cloud, I can't get it onto google's specific locker, which is, of course the whole point.
The Music Manager, in and of itself, isn't the objective. Any method of getting the tracks uploaded would suffice.
I may indeed have to through myself upon the kindness of strangers and try to use someone else's PC. I haven't had a computer since the Love Bug. Yeah, seriously.
I am not sure if these are at a premium anymore, but anyone who can help me accomplish this, or even makes a good faith effort is welcome to an invite to Google Music. I have a couple extra.
Hopefully that doesn't break any forum rules. If so, apologies.

Hey, good news everybody.
I talked with Google, and thanks to my powerful connections, you are ALL now invited to Google Music! Keep it quiet, and don't trip over each other trying to thank me all at once!
It sure makes me feel slightly less special for them to launch publically two days after I got my invite.
Help with the upload still being looked for, even if Google gave away my only incentive...

Public library?

Well, I doubt that would work since I understand there upload process pretty much takes days. it looks like I will just have to find av friendly PC owner and do this the old fashion way.
I just was refusing to believe that this fabulous machine, that has pretty much done everything I have asked of it, cannot accomplish a simple thing like run a program written by the same company as its OS.
I have seen solutions to some pretty far out problems on these forums, and I was taking the chance that someone would know a method.
I may be one of the only rooters without some sort of desktop computer, but I just doubt I am the only person who would verymuch like to upload straight from my tablet. it seemed worth a shot.

[Q] Phone Backup beyond app lists and SMS history

Hello folks.
I have been a Windows Mobile 6.x user for the past few years, and just made the leap to Windows Phone 8 about a month ago.
I have been happy with the change for the most part, however I am concerned about my backup/restore options.
With Windows Mobile, I used a tool from SPB which archived absolutely everything down to the last byte, packaged it up as an executable written to the memory card, leaving me with confidence that a full restore was possible after a ROM upgrade, device swap, or if something catastrophic happened to my beloved smartphone.
I understand WP does not give developers the same level of control that WM did, so perhaps that level of backup is just not possible? But I am interested in knowing how close I can get.
I have read the official documentation from Microsoft, and understand that much of the mainstream information is backed up automatically to the cloud: app list, photos, contacts, SMS history. That's a great start, but every app I have may store its own data:
Games have progress and high scores, 'Fuel Tracker' remembers and graphs my gas mileage history over time, 'Youtube downloader' pulls down Youtube videos for offline viewing, Nokia Drive+ remembers my favorite locations, Mocha VNC remembers a list of servers that I have saved, and on and on.
None of these apps are covered in the automatic backup to the cloud. So when it comes time to do a hard reset of my phone, I am going to lose all these settings.
I imagine this is not the case with other phone platforms. Prior to Windows Mobile, PalmOS let me backup my PRC and PDB files. Android probably lets users/devs do whatever they want, and I wouldn't be surprised if iPhone had this solved as well.
So my reason for posting comes down to a few questions:
1. Does this lack of *full* backup/restore functionality bother anybody else?
2. Is there already an app or solution that can help with this functionality? I have not looked at the Windows/Windows Phone sync much, but everything from Microsoft seems to pretend that OS-level settings, photos, and music are all anybody needs to backup.
3. Any idea if better backup/restore behavior is on its way? I doubt that Microsoft is going to improve the backup behavior in the OS. But perhaps some innovative entrepreneur like SPB is working to fill this gap?
Any suggestions would be appreciated to help safeguard against losing app data in the future.
Thank you,
Allan

I was actually hoping for an "Application-Storage" backup aswell. In other words - Game-Settings, Saved Games, downloaded videos/maps ...
While restore did actually reinstall all apps fine, this data was completely missing.

I found an existing entry on the feature suggestions page:

Question Smart Switch Issue

I’m trying to move across my calendars, notes and text message history from my iPhone 12 Pro Max to my S21 Ultra. The data copies and is stored in memory but Smart Switch seems to be crashing upon “arranging data”. I’ve restarted and launched the Smart Switch app again and the same thing happens.
Any suggestions please? Are there any decent methods of transferring my WhatsApp messages? Ideally, I only need a handful of my message threads and I don’t really like the thought of using some of the 3rd party apps due to them potentially them collecting my data.
Thanks.

There isn't really an easy way to export whatsapp messages from iPhone to whatsapp unless you use 3rd party app.
You can also export the chat to email....but that is pain and takes lots of time.

Smart Switch can get squirrelly even when transferring from different Android OS's/devices.
You need to find a work around.
Hopefully on the same device it will backup/restore without issues. I haven't fully tested it yet.
The earlier Samsung Kies backup was a problem child too.
Always use a second backup for critical data ie photos, contacts and files in case SS fails.
The best way to go with Android is to get a model with SD card support and use the SD card as a data drive. Place all critical files etc. there including everything needed for a complete reload. Then backup the card data at least 2X on two physically separate hdds.

im a tech enthusiast i buy flagship always so i switch between apple and different android brands.
believe me its very hard to transfer whatsapp message or sms sometimes between ios and android. to save you time there is an app called dr fone that should be able to transfer everything you have ios to android and vice versa including whatsapp kik viber etc.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the help. It’s a shame that I cannot seamlessly switch between platforms in today’s day and age without issue. Too many companies trying to trap you to one platform.
