My mother accidentally deleted photos in Gallery....how to recover them?
She didn't always used synhronization for GOOGLE Photo
if theyre deleted they cannot be reverse deleted. better luck next time with backups!
damn, yeah they're gone i guess.

So here's the deal. I rooted and flashed a phone for a friend. I made a nandroid like I always do. Well she broke her phone. She had a mytouch. Now she's getting a nexus. Problem is she doesn't remember her gmail or yahoo password. Anyone know if and where this would be stored in the backup? Thanks
40 views and no response. Guess no one knows, or it can't be done. Hopefully ill have a chance to look around this weekend. Work has owned lately...
Can't you recover from gmail.com or yahoo.com directly?

You would think. Tried that already. She has them set up to send to each other, and put bs answers in the recovery questions... as she put it: "I don't remember what I put, I didn't think id ever need thoses stupid questions."... I hate to say it, but she's not the brightest, lol.
For now we just made a new gmail acct, but all her contacts and stuff is in her old one.
I would really like to believe that my google password can't be recovered from my phone, but I'd imagine it probably can be found on the data partition somewhere. Android isn't designed with security in mind.
Hey Guys,
I got a problem with the stock gallery application since I went to FRF50 (now FRF72).
It takes a lot of time (sometimes 20 seconds and longer) until I see the thumbnails of my recently shoot Photos.
This even appears if there is only one picture in my folder(!). Disabling the picasa sync brings no improvement.
Switching directly from the cam application into the gallery takes ages, too. No matter if the images are local on SD or Picasa.
I already tried to delete the cache, disabled picasa sync, erased the thumbnail file - no change.
The filesize for one Photo is about 800kb, so I don't think it depends on the size. My SD-Card is class 6 and my Nexus is totaly stock.
Anyone who can help me?
When you say you deleted the cache, do you mean you deleted the entire "Android" folder on your SD?

I just deleted the stuff from the .thumbnails folder in DCIM. Thought this would help but it did not.
Thanks for your reply

If you delete the thumbnails, it will take longer because it has to rescan your pictures and CREATE thumbnails!
LOL... your n1 is not totally stock! (but I know what you are tryin to say)...
Same thing...slow as heck.

Right, I thought the re-creating process could solve the problem
on WIFI or 3G the gallery is a little bit faster, but with gprs or when I have no network coverage the process is slow as hell.
I really don't know why the local stored images are involved in this process
ok i searched this issue but found nothing useful or helpful to fix this but every picture i take seems to dissappear after a few minutes and all i get is a gray triangle with an ! mark inside it for all pictures taken by the camera. anyone else have this issue?
im on bady boyz rom
rooted s-offed
h/k m8
No body is having issues with pictures not displaying correctly?? Im on ViperONEM8 rom but it did this on the stock rom and badboyz as well. must not be rom related but i dont know so sum one have any ideas what the issue is? thanks
Have you tried changing the storage location? Also, are you restoring your gallery each time you try a new ROM? You could have the folder hidden on accident and as you restore the gallery that folder becomes hidden again. See if you cannot find the photos another way, for example: Quickpic or ES File Browser.

thank you for helping.
unfortunately yes i did try changing the storage location, in the camera app i changed it to ext sdcard & phone storage both same issue. also i used the Xposed module "Downloads2SD" & "Pictures2SD" both to change the location but still same issue. as for restoring my gallery, no i dont restore it at all when installing new rom. unless somehow it automatically restores from my google account but i dont think it does.
I also have used Root Browser & ES File Explorer to look in every directory on phone and sdcard for the pictures and they cant be found anywhere.
thanks again for replying and trying to help appreciate it much. any other ideas tho?

What happens when you use a different camera app? If that doesn't work either I would suggest an RUU. If an RUU doesn't work I would suggest returning the phone.

still not working with other camera apps. im gonna try RUUing once and see if it still does it. i took a few pics today and all seemed fine until i went to view them later on then they were just displaying the gray triangle thing.. one pic was there and viewed fine one sec then the next its just like the others. i just looked in the gallery now and it shows the previews of these pics but i tap to open them and get the triangle again. its weird & really frustrating i took tons of great pics over the time with this phone and lost them all from this, except of course the stupid test shots ive taken of my wall or whatever pointless shots.. they seem to stay fine its just the important ones that wont.. aarrrghhh gonna RUU right now.
here is a screenshot of what displays for the pictures.. View attachment 2782818

you all have always helped me with any issues ive had.. thanks for all that. and thanks for your help with this.

I am having the same issue i moved all my pictures to the external storage card to free up space but now the pics are in limbo i cant find them i just have the triangle where they use to be. the same thing holds true for apps
im beginning to suspect that KK write protection with the external sdcard is the culprit for this but im on viperonem8 and have tried the fixes i found that are suppose to fix the write protection issue and still having same issues. so anyone have any working fixes at all please let us know thanks

I am having the exact same issue and it is frustrating as hell. Especially when I get a great picture, then I go to show someone and it is ****ING GONE.. The only way that I can seem to save them if is when I take them, I immediately share them. After doing extensive research, I have narrowed it down to 2 possible issues.
1) The SD card is somehow corrupted, I purchased a 64GB SD card from eBay and I just recently read about an SD card scandal that was going on which could be the culprit. To test this, I am first going to try with a smaller card that I know works. If that doesn't work, I am going to have the pictures stored on the phone and see if that keeps them.
2) This problem really started to show itself after I downloaded an app called OneGallery, I don't really know if that has anything to do with it, or if it is completely coincidence. If replacing the SD card doesn't work, deleting this app will be the next step.
I love the phone too much to just turn it in or swap it out.

Hi guys,
I just recently deleted an important videos in which I thought I have backed up already but in reality it isn't backed up.
It is totally gone from Gallery and Google Photos and from both Trash.
The phone is not rooted as I need to use Samsung Knox for some reasons.
Any ideas or suggestions?

There's good PC programs that can retrieve it. Doing on phone it's self usually requires root.

Can you mention a name? If it's deleted on my PC I'd use Stellar Phoenix tho. Since this is Android I have totally zero clue.

I haven't used one of those programs in a while sorry. There's a lot of them out there. Just search google you will find one. Not to familiar with that program stellar. But maybe look in its settings, there might be an option for it already with phones. If that fails and you wanna go cheap route. Search for open sourced 1s.
Hi
i am unable to save any picture on my phone.
- download from fb not working.
- camera not working.
- printscreen not working.
all the problems started after updating my phone to latest MIUI update 13.0.3 global
any idea what's wrong here ??
Any error displayed?
sorry, wrong account again.
and no, just a toast saying couldn't save image , when i take a screenshot.
for facebook app, no error, but no photo is saved, the camera app just crashes without saving.
it has been 2 weeks now, the support suggested a factory reset, and i wont do it its too much backup and work, i believe there might be an easy way.

Seems like permissions to save to to sd card somehow got revoked. From the sounds of it since multiple apps are involved, factory reset might be better. You can use an app like Swiftbackup(cannot save data if not rooted unless you use shizuku) which will save lot of time and effort.

you sure ? because even for local storage, still same problem.
No idea what changed, facebook can save images now ! but only facebook, apps like 9gag can't, comics and manga can since ever.
Any updates ?
I found the solution, posted on reddit, precisely :

Ok. The solution is to turn off dual app support, reboot, and then turn dual apps back on again and reenable the ones you want back.
Annoying, but it works.
Screenshots work again also.
Hope this works for you, like it did for me.
Settings>Apps>Dual Apps>Hexagon>Delete dual apps' accounts>wait 5 seconds>Delete>Reboot
