Recover photos? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there I made a bit of an error and deleted some family photos from internal storage. Does anyone know if there is a way to get them back.
My phone is unrooted if that makes a difference.

Not sure if this will work on mobile but I used a program called wondershare to recover my photo's off my usb HDD, might be worth a try

if you had dropbox setup they would have auto uploaded

That 7gb you're missing is the stock Rom and pre-installed apps I believe.

Can't wait for s-off
If like mine, you will have a pre installed film in there too, I got Thor that took up over a Gb. This is easily deleted by clicking 'free up space' or whatever it's called in settings

Could you give us a screenshot? So do you mean the 6gb is not really the system partition but a chunk of data?

No, I'm saying that some of the used space will be stuff you can remove, like 1.27 Gb of film I don't want to watch. There is a huge chunk that is the system partition don't get me wrong!

A HUGE chunk. Can't see the reason for it being so large.
im not sure what the other storage is its about 7gb
Yes out of the box only 25gb left. This space matters since the phone doesn't have memory expansion.
HTC shouldn't advertise it's 32gb. It's 25gb

isn't it possible to delete those bloatware-apps now, as we have the system-partition made r/w?

If it is anything like when I first signed up with my HTC One X, then it can take several days before you get the email through. If it hasn't happened after a week, send them an email. It'll get sorted eventually.

No I didn't
I got my 25GB dropbox space immediately by following the instructions.
I never got my storage, sim free device in the UK.
Got my 25gb or should I say 23gb of storage right away... on a sim free uk htc one.
Got mine i now have 81 GB of storage, had 56GB and the extra 25

Got mine right after the setup. I think you have to use the photo upload feature once.

I'm on a sim-free device, also in the UK.
I got my 23gb. Seems to be a bit patchy.
If it's like when I got my one X you need to follow a set of instructions to get your 25gb space, I remember I needed to complete 5 out of 7 tasks like using Dropbox features installing it on another computer...
Just check the getting started page or something like that

I didn't get mine, but I didn't expect it. I had it from a previous HTC phone (expires December this year), and you are only entitled to it once per account.
If you read up on the drop box site if you had free space from another htc sense phone like one x you will not get it this time.

I got mine immediately as well (o2 Germany). Still got the 25gb from my old Galaxy S3 as well, on the same dropbox account, activated approx. 9 months ago.
i have a 50 GB box cloud, dating back to feb 2012. when there was an offer for lifetime for new android users.

It's trigger once you do a photo upload. You get an email. Mine was 2 days later.

Lots of used storage in "other"

When I had my GNex I could always look at what was taking up space from storage in settings. Now that I have my One I cannot do this. I've got 2gigs available overall and "other" is using 10gigs. But I don't know how I can see what is taking up so much space. I am rooted, btw. Any suggestions? I've got 18gigs of music so far and I'm not done so I'd really like to free up this storage.
Im a huge fan of Grid Size File Manager. It gives you a visual representation of whats eating your storage. Most likely downloaded roms or videos.

Thank you, its a great app. Its all twrp. My backups are taking up the space but I never had this problem with my GNex and I had several backups.

If GNex = Galaxy Nexus, then your backups may have been on an SD card?

GNex didn't have a physical SD card slot. I've moved my backups to my pc and now I've got an extra 4gb but there's still 6gb being used and I haven't a clue as to what's using it. I even deleted all of my music to make sure there weren't any misplaced files in my music folder. This is driving me crazy.
A ton of space is used by the system.

I really didn't want to come to that conclusion but I probably should have just stopped there from the beginning. Of course they're system files, duh. *slaps forehead*
Yup. Out of the 32gb when i took this baby out of the box I had just under 27. Still not bad, as I rely on the cloud for everything but roms, booby pics, and the like

Big HTC rant!

My post beings with a question: why do HTC have to make things so difficult??
So I was looking through my dropbox folder and saw pictures of my holiday in Florida last year and thought "those pics would look lovely and crisp on my full hd display" so I downloaded them to my windows pc, installed HTC sync and drivers etc only to find....
Theirs no mass storage mode, theirs no MTP, HTC sync is the worst syncing app ever as it only syncs from your phone and not to it!
So can someone please clear something up? How do I drag and drop stuff to my HTC one (international)??
Rant over lol

Hook it to PC go to computer go to htc device and drag/drop?
Shouldn't be hard man unless your PC isn't picking up the device due to drivers.

Does it show as removable storage?? Or a file??
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
When installing drivers and stuff, many posts tell to delete htc sync as it Sucks big time. Remove it and the windows mtp should work. That's how I've managed on my nexus 4, Oppo Find 5 and now HTC One. Oh Btw this will likely get moved to the q&a. Happy surfing

Removable storage just like any USB drive.
I had issues with drivers and windows 8 doing some wacky stuff. Don't know if its the same thing. But he's right. Remove HTC sync its crap.

Actually it was Google who screwed up on this one not htc because of how the sd card is formatted.

No it was HTC sync... all other devices work fine over MTP and I've had no issues.
AirDroid is a great alternative as well.

Turn on USB Debugging and you get regular drag and drop MTP.

Phone does work as a mass storage drive, not sure what you are doing wrong w yours, I was able to copy all manner of media files easily from laptop HD to SD storage memory. No need to blame htc

Works for me. Place files from pc to HTC one as a media device. I don't have HTC sync installed.

Yea not sure why we are jumping through loops here...If the pictures are already on Dropbox why don't just open/download them from the mobile app?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
The cool thing about using a Mac is whenever I connect a media device it auto starts aperture which allows me to save my pictures into an album if in chose. This bypasses drag and drop and drop box. Either way like someone said just turn on USB debug and you should be able to mount as a drive and drag and drop.

I set up an applescript to monitor my dropbox photo upload folder and automatically add new photos to iPhoto. When I get home I can edit or delete the ones I don't want.
Why don't you just use dropbox app on your phone if you have the pictures on your dropbox account? :cyclops:

Are you sure when setting up your phone you never selected to back your pictures up thru drop box or Google+. Always a good thing to check before losing hope

I think might be diskdriggertool was not able to recover all your data. Give a try to Remo Recover software; It may help you to get back all deleted photos.
