Help needed. My Slll mini froze on me so I turned it off and now it will not come back on.
It had randomly rebooted itself a couple of times and the storage space was getting low.
Vodafone will send it off for repair but it will get wiped. I would like to retrieve my pictures and would appreciate any help in doing so.
Many thanks :fingers-crossed:

Do you use Google+ Auto Backup or do you store the pictures on the microSD card?

Sadly my SD card corrupted so I lost all those pictures and I have not backed up the photos on the phone :crying:
Hard lesson learnt but it really was the next job on my to do list.

Try taking it out and insert it into a PC using any card reader and try using a program called 'Recuva' and see if you can undelete your files? Just don't write anything to the microSD as it could overwrite the corrupted files.

HI Guys,
I used my HD7 to take photos of my brothers wedding last weekend. My son was messing with my phone and entered pin in wrong 3 times and phone formatted (by the way is there any way of stopping this, 3 times is a bit crazy)
Any way. Here is where I stand I turned phone of straight away. Didn't set it up again. I have the sd card out.
Tools to hand to hopefully try recover photos of Card.
Linux
Mac OsX
Nokia Symbian
Card Reader.
Can any one tell me how I would go about trying to salvage the photos of the card.
Thanks in advance.

SD card is locked to phone
I upgraded my HD7 which is current build of stock mango. To 32gb. The 16gb card is pretty much useless as windows phone locks it to the device. Linux,Win8/7 and mac neither os can read the SD card.
So if the photo was is not being seen by the device and you did not have the upload to skydrive option. Then the photos a probably gone.
sorry mate

Looks like your sd card is beginning to wear out. Better backup as much as possible and replace it right away. I once had 2 kingston cards with similar issues. Formatting them seems to fix it for a short period of time only. Then eventually the problem returns.
Did you try erasing the card through the phone itself - that is putting it back again after un-mounting from your PC?

Well this is my first question. My dad has a windows 8 phone has been having several issues. One of these that I have not been able to solve is that after he takes a photo the pictures simply dissapear. I used my computer to see if the photos deleted themselves or what. The pictures can be found but they are still not able to be veiwed on the actual phone. Any help would be appreciated!

Curious!
What happens when you try a hard reset?
Are you able to find the pictures on your computer when looking at the SD card or its internal storage?

I plugged the phone into my computer to look at internal storage he doesn't have an ad card yet. And I didn't do a hard reset because he would loose a lit if data.

My first thought would be to slao an SD card in then change it to use SD card to store pictures, if you don't want to keep SD card in then change it back to internal storage, its maybe got a bit confused, changing to SD card and back again my jolt it to life with out reset

Question - Do you have the JBL speaker mod?
Is it out already?!
CONFIRMED: Downloaded the security patch-NCL25.86-11-4-6, and it fixed my low volume problems.
Downloading now, sound issue never happened to me.
I personally would recommend removing your SD Card before updating.

Uh... And why is that? No issues with SD card here. Unless your SD card had a pre-disposition to fail, I see no reason removing it would change anything.

I don't know, but it might be a good idea to remove it. I applied the update and the SD card showed up as corrupt. I rebooted, cleared cache, etc. several times and finally ended up taking the SD card out, copying it to my computer hard drive, putting it back in the phone, formatting, and copying everything back. Not hard to do, but you are copying files for hours. I never had issues with the SD card before. I have a lot of music and some photos on it. Works fine again after the above steps. On other forums there have been complaints of the same thing, so it is just not a single person having trouble.

Personally, I'd rather have my sd card corrupted during an upgrade and I'd end up scanning the hell out of it afterwards. Everytime I've had sd cards get corrupted, it ended up dying shortly after.
A question of personal experiences, I guess!

it's not the card. It's the update on some phones. If you have adoptable storage you're going to lose lots of data.

that's probably the worst case. It seems the phone stops reading the cards but they can taken out and the data is still accessible from a computer.

We got this update too on Z play, yesterday. I have a vzw phone, updates are disabled via a dummy app. I do not want to loose the ability to block N when it comes.
Any one care to try the dummy app to see if this patch fixes my work around?

Do you know that xda private messaging is turned off by default?

I am (and was) using the SD card as portable. It hasn't died since I went through the steps to get it working again. I am personally convinced that it had something to do with the update. I couldn't say what the cause was, but my observations point to the update causing some issue with the card. Although it was easily fixed it did take some time.

Aviwdoodks, no I didn't know that. Sorry I've been having some issues with Verizon and haven't even tried anything you suggested yet. Also been switching between a few different devices lately. I haven't used either my ZPlay or ZForce for about 2 weeks. I'm hoping to this next week.
But thank you for pointing that out. I had no idea.
on the new update does hotspot still work with taking out the sim card tray?
I really don't know what's going on here...saturday evening I noticed that some photos were missing from gallery, same thing happened sunday evening...but yesterday the nano memory started erasing itself every couple of hours I lost everything I have in there, with (apparently) no reason.
I made a full reset, nothing changed. No errors while reading the nm card or while copying files on.
I am terribly confused
What size and brand of card is it?
I've had my VOG-L29 for two weeks now and I'm considering which particular card to buy. And which ones to steer clear of....
And I'm sorry, but I have no pointers to what your problem could be.
Original Huawei 128 GB nano memory card...I'm terribly confused, never had a problem like this! I have no strange apps or something that cleans phone automatically, so I really cannot understand what's going on...the card erased itself 3 times!! The last one took place immediately after I've restored everything on my phone, after a full reset.
40 hours later the situation seems stable, but who knows.............

Thank you.
That's not good for an OEM card, I'd understand if it was a cheap ebay one from China.
I have thought about your dilemma and I haven't a clue what could be the cause of random erasure. I haven't read any other similar experiences with a NM Card so maybe yours is a rare faulty one.
Hopefully someone else here may be able to offer advice.
Good luck
I have had the Huawei 256gb card for ages now. It's full of music, photos and music videos and no issues at all.
Is it only photos you're storing on the card or do you also store other documents too? Because if you're only using it for photos and the gallery keeps showing up as empty it may be possible that Huawei Gallery Sync is running and attempting to sync an empty cloud gallery to your NM card.
