hello all
I just got back from holiday, I have Samsung galaxy camera gc100, I connected the camera to my pc using USB cable then opened the camera folder then went to DCIM folder then cut the camera folder from there and paste on my desktop (I always do it this way, never had problems) I disconnected the camera as usual. I went to the folder on my desktop and I only saw the photos which were less than 1gb (that's why the moving was very quick) but I did not see my videos at all. I looked in the camera and there was nothing no photos no videos..
I lost my videos somehow.. I tried android recovery software but it won’t recognise the camera as it uses MTP or PTP not mass storage.
Can you please help me to get my videos back?
today is Monday 25th of May first video was taken on 19th (hope that hepls)
Many thanks
I cannot recommend a software that can recover data. However I do know that the data is still there as long as you do not overwrite it. With that in mind, I would stop using your internal storage/sd card immediately.
there are some tools on playstore that i have used you should try looking on some also were the vid on the sd card??

Hello.
I am trying to copy-paste my quite extensive mp3-collection to my Galaxy S. Its about 6GB.
The problem is that I don't want to use Kies as it mucks up all my ID3-Tags...at least it did the first time I tried it.
I just put the phone in Mass Storage mode and tried to copy-paste the Mp3's to the /music folder on the external SD. When I tried to let it copy all together I disconnected the phone properly (safely remove, then disc. from the screen) and let the media scanner run...it didn't find anything. When I connected it to the PC again I saw that the /music folder was empty and the /Lost.dir folder was 6 GB. So the files probably ended up there somehow.
Afterwards I tried copying the folders with my mp3s one by one, disconnecting the phone after every one and letting it search again and again and it worked fine for the first 3 GB...after one more copy paste it lost the new folder and wiped half of the rest which were working fine by then along with it.
I also tried doubletwist and WMP, same problem there.
I'm running Froyo.
Thanks for reading. Any ideas?
When you say you have tried WMP, have you sync'ed them to the card as you would do a mp3 player? It has never failed on me in the past so not sure what else to advise.
Also you may have a corrupt SD card or a fake? Make a backup of the files you have on it at present, then format the card, replace the back'ed up files and try again. There are allot of fake cards sold on ebay and there are some programs about that give diagnostics on cards so might be worth running one to see the genuine capacity and/or to see if there is any corruption.
Yep, I tried syncing as with a normal MP3-Player. Its really weird as it does this only with music and it also does it retroactively...it has lead me to believe that theres some kind of problem with the media scanner.
The card is bought off ebay, but its original Kingston...it was sealed up and everything. I formatted it yesterday just to be sure...didn't bring up any errors...I'll take a look at those programs you mentioned though.
Thanks.
Hmm... If it's only happening with music it might be worth checking to see if there is any DRM on the music files as well. If there is any you'll need to run them through a convertor to remove this.
My music files all AAC+ moved to external SD card .
New Folder on SD card named SONGS and placed all music in that folder via USB mass storage mode .
But all my music is DRM free .

Has anyone else experienced this issue.
I plugged my O2x into my PC, selected USB mode when it appears on the phone and copied a video over into the Video folder on my External SD.
Selected turn off USB Mode, Unplugged the phone, it remounted the cards and scanned media files.
However, when I tried to access the Video player or Gallery, I kept getting Force Close on both.
Unmounting and Re-mounting the cards didn't work, the only solution was to reboot the Phone
It's going to be a pain in the Arse if you have to do that everytime you copy something over to the phone
Edit:
Stock ROM
Does anyone know how to recover deleted photos off the internal storage? I tried 6 different types of recovery software on my windows pc. None of them can see the phone since we don't have a sdcard.

Bumping this because I'm in a similar situation. I accidentally wiped my photos / videos when I activated the phone (clicked through the screens too fast and didn't know it was being formatted!). I can't seem to get the phone to show up as a drive when connecting via USB (just a "mobile device" with an option to drill down into files), which means I can't use tools like Wondershare or R-studio.
Any advice?
Connect to a PC as USB Storage and use a file recovery program to search the phone from the desktop.

the problem is that this phone connects via MTP and not as USB mass storage, so while you can easily move files to/from the device it cannot be recognized as a drive by your computer.
I think I found an answer in this thread, but I haven't yet tried it. Fingers crossed!
I'm in the same position.. although I backed up photos from the DCIM folder, wifey had made folders which apparently save to media folder so I've lost them..
Like other users I have had the same problem.. the internal storage doesn't show up as a drive and therefore not recognised by the software..
Any other suggestions? Don't want to root the phone..
A while ago after transfering some files to/from my PC via USB mass storage mode I unplugged the USB cable without doing a Safe Disconnect on the PC. Immediately after this, the processor (or something in the lower right corner) on my Droid 3 started overheating and draining the battery very quickly, as if I was running some very pretentious 3D game or something.
I found some discussions on the Net that lead me to look under Settings / Applications / Battery use to find that an application called "Media" was overusing the processor and causing the overheating and drainage, so I force-stopped that one and the problem went away.
But now every time I connect the phone to a PC in USB mass storage mode, I get the same problem and after I'm done transfering files I have to force-stop the "Media" application. (This is even if I use Safe Disconnect or whatever it's called on the PC.)
I've seen some other suggestion today that I should try the same operations with the SD card pulled out, but the same thing happens even in the absence of the SD card.
Does someone know how I can reset/reinstall the "Media" application or service that handles USB mass storage mode without resetting the whole thing to factory settings or reinstalling the whole Minimoto image?
Boy, I think I remember reading somewhere that this might happen if you have a media file that is malformed. In other words, the media app scans all available storage for media files to put in the gallery (or something like that) and gets hung up when it encounters a media file that has errors in it.
I'm not sure about that, but it might be worth copying to PC and then removing all photo, music and video files from internal storage and the SD card and then see if that still happens. Then look at the files on the computer to make sure that they are good before you put them back on the phone.
My only issue with this theory is that I recall it was an issue with phones that updated from Gingerbread to ICS a few years ago, so maybe that has nothing to do with what you are seeing...
Thanks for the suggestion, it pointed me in the right direction.
I didn't like the idea of a simple copy operation solving a corrupt file problem, so I started looking for ways to run a chkdsk/fsck on my internal drive (since taking out the SD card hadn't eliminated the problem earlier, I assumed something was wrong on the internal drive). All the solutions I found for this involved using ADB and rebooting into some "recovery mode" and that too seemed like too much hassle, so I insisted on searching for some app that could do at least some limited filesystem checks that maybe wouldn't involve unmounting the system drive.
In the end I found something called "AParted", an ad-supported free partition manager that looks like it wants to be the Android homologue of GNOME's GParted, KDE's KParted etc. Of course, while running AParted from the system drive I couldn't perform any operations on the system drive itself, so I said "what the heck" and just ran a Repair operation on the SD card, which was the only one I could unmount in that situation.
Lo and behold, the problem seems fixed now and I'm not getting any more overheating and battery drainage after connecting my Droid to the PC in USB Mass Storage mode (tested with two PCs running Ubuntu and Windows 7).
So I had just gotten the Galaxy Note 5 on Friday night and thought I had set up Google Photos app but I guess it wasnt fully set up. I ended up accidentally deleting an entire album of pics that I took from a concert I was at with my Dad on Saturday night. I was editing photos through the gallery app and I somehow deleted the whole album and I am crushed as I lost the pictures with my Dad. (And i dont have drop box yet either).... i know there are programs such as recuva than can recover the pics but because of the new software that is in the Note 5, when I plug the phone into the computer, it doesnt recognize the phone as a removable disk and only gives me options as an mp3 player/camera (MTP & PTP) so programs such as recuva arent picking it up as a drive to recover since its not picking up as USB mass storage. Someone please advise on how I can get my computer to recognize the Note 5 as Mass Media or any other options without rooting. Thank you all so much in advance!

You cannot make it get recognized as a Mass Media. That feature has been removed from Android for more than a year now. Some OEMs used to support it but even they all have phased it out. If you are rooted with a custom recovery, try mounting in TWRP. I doubt it will work but you can give it a try.
