hi, i just updated to 4.4 kitkat, but when i look in my album, there are lots of pictures that aren't there anymore. Almost all of my pictures were on my sd-card, so could that be the cause?
thanks in advance!

i tried it, but still nothing. Also, my music (that was on my sd-card) is missing..
very strange, i was browsing my files with file commander (es file explorer also didn't found the files) and then everything was back to normal.
it takes some time for the phone to read the sd card. just wait and i'm sure it'll show up

Hi..
When you update your ROM to 4.4.2, what method did you use? Flashing an FTF or apply OTA / Sony PC Companion update?

i flashed an FTF. i didn't wipe a thing, not even cache. I also had a few issues with different internet browsers, but after wiping their cache and rebooting the phone, everything is normal now.

if your pictures is in your Internal Card, then you just wiped them with kitkat.
if it is in the SDCARD, then check it out using file manager or connect your Z1 to PC and search the SD.
They are never deleted in SDcard unless you wiped external storage in recovery or your SDcard is screwed.

What if you clearing album cache? Does your old images shown up on album? I think ,not. Well, fortunately mine is OK because I move all of my images to External SDCARD (when flashing an FTF, I wiped everything). I guess your old images were stored on Internal SDCARD, weren't they?

no, the pictures that weren't shown were on my external sd-card. The pictures from my internal were still shown. None of my pictures are wiped, i now have everything back to normal. Just by clearing cache, rebooting, checking my files in file commander and waiting. Then everything was back

Hello,
In a moment of stupidness, I deleted the internal SDcard contents with the File Manager. Now I can't view pictures (com.android.gallery3D error), my camera app won't work anymore (the icon isn't even in the menu) etc.
Is there any way to get the SDcard contents back without factory resetting my phone? I'm pretty tired of reinstalling all my applications, reconfiguring them and loosing my games saves.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy i9001
ROM: [JB 4.2.2 JDQ39E] CM10.1 Beta 4.3
Flash the rom again but don't wipe data.

Did that. Still have black images and can't see them
EDIT: Works now. Looks like the photos I was trying to view were corrupted or something.

Or may be the thumbnail was corrupted. It happens sometimes.

Today was watching a movie and it kept stattering for some reason. So I decided to reflash my phone, now everything is gone. Movies, pictures, videos, all my downloads. Why did it wipe my memory?

I would imagine it's because you had them on the internal memory and not your SD card?
yh I did but on xperia s it never wiped internal memory and I flashed it so many times. Now im having new issues though, when I take piocutres it says could not save, its there if I view it with file manager but album app says nothing found.

If you use flashtool to flash roms then try unticking "flash userdata" in flashtool while selecting a firmware. This should leave the internal memory intact!
Has anyone experienced missing files on their sdcard or internal? I'm going through my gallery (Quickpic) and noticed an entire folder I had is gone, along with a few others. I also used ES File Explorer to see if they were there, and tried connecting it to my computer via USB, and nothing. Got a few backup apks missing too...
Is there anyway to get these files back?

I've experienced some of my apps just randomly disappearing when I take out my SD card and put it back in then I have to reinstall them. The icons still remain on my home screen but the apps won't run. As far as pictures go, no I've never had anything of the sort happen, not even things such as .txt files.

Before my pictures went missing, an entire folder full of fdroid apps disappeared, I thought I had deleted them by mistake, however, now that an entire folder of pictures is missing, I'm sure my phone is deleting things off of it somehow... Suppose I'll format it all and flash a new rom.

Before you format you could always try one of the numerous sd card file recovery tools out there.
Something like this.

I tried a few from the playstore to no avail. Though they did work, they didn't pull any of the recently missing files, just incredibly old and mostly corrupt files. I'll save this one for next time though (because with computers, there's always a next time x_x ), thank you though.
Hi everybody,
I did a factory reset, because the speakers of my phone weren't working anymore.
Did a backup with PC- Companion.
After the reset put everything back on my phone. My speakers are working again.
But I don't see my pics in the Album anymore. They are in the internal storage and I can access them with the File Commander, but I want them in my Album again.
How can I do that?
My phone isn't rooted and has Kitkat on it.

Try clearing data of Album app. If it doesnt work , Take the photos from the phone and put them in your PC . Then put them back in your phone in a different folder . Hope this helps.

I cleared the data, but that didn't help.
And in which folder should I store the pics then? So that I can see them in the Album?

Wherever you want .... for example , store them in Pictures folder . . If you have the pics in internal storage , move them to SD card or if you have them in SD move them to internal .
1. Check/Search any file ".nomedia" in your pics folder or from internal and external storage, make sure the file DIDN'T EXIST, if you find ".nomedia" file, delete it
2. Try to delete any gallery/album folder from Internal Storage, Android>data> your gallery/album data
3. Try to clear data Media Storage via Settings> Apps> All
Option 2 & 3 need reboot to take effect.

No .nomedia file. No gallery/ album folder.
Cleared the data from the Media Storage. Rebooted.
Nothing still in the Album.

Try using QuickPic and enable "Show Hidden"
If nothing appear, something wrong with your device.
Make sure you can copy and delete any pics from Internal and External storage.
If problem persist, try to factory reset with Internal storage erased.
Also, ".nomedia" sometimes recognized as hidden files.

Yes! In Quickpic I can see all my pics. Thanks!
When I set it to show hidden and connect my phone with my PC I find numerous .nomedia files. But for some reason I can't delete them on my PC. Get an errorcode.
How can I search and delete the files on my phone?
Ok managed to delete the .nomedia file. Album and everything is working good again.
Thank you all for your help!

This is a problem I've been facing since like a year. Everytime I open Google Photos, com.android.media stops and Photos app shuts down abruptly. For this reason I haven't been using it at all.
But now, it stops just anytime randomly. I get to see a FC message for it. I collected the log, if anyone can help me understand what the issue is, I'll be very grateful.
I've wiped my phone several times, changed ROMs, went to stock, everything but the issue still stays.

I had that issue a while ago and I had to wipe everything from TWRP (davlik, cache, system, data AND internal storage) and afterwards I didn't restore anything from Titanium Backup. It was a pain but it fixed the problem.

Did you also not restore contents if internal storage? Like photos, music files, etc?

I copied what I wanted to save from internal storage to my computer and copied it back when I was done installing the ROM and setting up the phone. Like you mentioned I copied pictures, music, downloads and I think that was all I saved. It's been a while ago so I don't remember exactly but anything that I felt was important I copied off and copied back.
