Hi
Yesterday after i tried to transfer some files to my laptop through USB cable, i observed that images in my mobile (Redmi Note 10 pro) camera album are not getting opened.
The error it is showing is 'file format isn't supported or files are corrupted'.
However the same files which were supposed to be under DCIM folder...were now visible in new folder names G Cloud -> DCIM. In the file manager, in the above gcloud folder, I am able to view the said images.
I am perplexed. What happened to my mobile ? Any malware/virus? Pls help me out.
Also today..I could observe some of my contacts disappearing.
The size of the files about 20k indicates that you didn't transfer the photos but the files of the generated thumbnails (little preview pictures) for the photos.
That several files are transferred in a bad way so that only the first 20k get transferred sounds not plausible, but could also be possible.
Not long time ago I saw a thread with a similar question. You may also have a look in forums of similar devices (same OS).

Has anyone observed a similar issue on their Motorola Razr-i (or maybe it is an ICF issue/feature)? When I connect my RAZR-i to my Windows 7 laptop, I see all folders and files in my external card but the pictures taken with the RAZR camera. When I push into the DCIM folder I cannot see the Camera folder (my camera setting is to save all pictures on the external card). USB debugging is turned on and I get the same results whetherI I conenxt as Media device (MTP) or Camera (PTP). However, when I check the content using the File Manager app on my RAZR-i, I do see the Camera folder and its content.So it is there, just I cannot see it from my laptop. Finally, when I copy it's content (via the RAZR file manager app) to another folder on teh SD card, I do see that content on my laptop...somehow the DCIM/Camera folder is being blocked from viewing on my laptop.
Another topic: my camera makes ok pictures, but I noticed: a) corseness in parts of the pictures when there is a lot of sky and b) pictures tend to be a bit yellowish. Any app I can use to correct for that? I do not see any settings/options to correct using the build-in camera app....
Thanks for any hints - I am an overall happy RAZR-i customer.

FYI: My recent update to system version "81.5.39001.xt890.Retail.en.GB" fixed both issues (and the sluggish performance when one pressing teh home button on the home screen)....
Recently got this phone and I wanted to transfer my old pictures from my old phones (samsung and Motorola) and the format is just plain jpeg. The folder contains 400 photos and maybe 50 videoclips. I transfer the whole folder from my computer to my LG:s external sd card (32gb) and all is well. When I then unplugg my phone and open the folder in the gallery, I can se all the movies and pictures but there is also alot of empty grey squares(see pics). It looks like files but not really cause there is no photo. It now reads 900 files in the folder, so I suppose it has somehowe copied all the files but into unrecognizable files?
The sceenhots beneath are from the gallery and the information about an "empty file".
I have retried copying the folder serveral times without success.
I have also looked in the folder via my computer and I can't see these "extra files".
What to do?

It is like files but not realy couse there is no photo.

possibly some issues with drivers? try AirDroid to transfer files from wifi perhaps? or perhaps, your sd card isnt working properly

But small file transfers works just well. Maybe it's just to many files in one folder? Going to try to split them up.
Follow me on this...
Take a picture: it will be stored under /DCIM/Camera folder
Open QuickPic: it shows the picture under the Camera album
Open SonyAlbum: under the Images tab you will find the same picture under the current month label
Open a file manager and move the picture from /DCIM/Camera folder under the /Pictures folder
Open QuickPic: it shows the picture under the Pictures album
Open SonyAlbum: under the Images tab you will find two copies of the same picture under the current month label; if yoh look at the details of both pictures, one comes from /storage/emulated/0/Pictures and one from /storage/emulated/legacy/Pictures
Now I know that they areboth access pointsto the same physical folder, so tehre are not actually two copies of the same pictures, still Sony album sees both of them. I tried clearing cache, data etc. with no avail.
Hi there,
I am new to this forum and this is my first time posting! I have the ATT samsung galaxy S5 and I am rooted but running the stock ROM. I am relatively new to android and this is my first one after three years of having iphones. Anyway, I just got a 32gb microSD card but I am having some problems making it work with the camera. Before I put the SD card in, I had several folders in my camera, such as videos, camera, screenshots, snapchat, transferred from my iphone, etc... When I transferred from my iphone, a lot of the pictures were out of order but I learned to deal with it. When I put my SD card in, all of the folders mushed together with all my videos on the top and everything out of order. Now I just have one folder called externalSDcard and one called "camera" where new pictures are stored and one called picassa. Im not even sure if they are folders or albums! How do I restore everything to how it was before but keep it all on the SD card?
HELP!
Nothing? Really?
Really the only thing you can do I believe is put the pics on your computer and then format your SD card then put them back on in their appropriate folder. Pics go in the pictures folder and mpegs go in movies folder. Hope you figure it out.

Android will scan your phone for media files and will show all in the gallery. Now in the gallery you can create albums then drag and drop pictuers or videos into them. Also the camera folder must reside in the DCIM folder.

Exactly, the file structure on your SD card hasn't changed, but gallery app is organizing them the way it wants. What's even better is if you are storing camera pictures on SD card after having stored some on internal memory, now you have two "Camera" items shown in your gallery.
Picasa, by the way, is any pictures you've stored in picasaweb (which may be "none").
You might find a different picture viewing app more to your liking. I've always liked quickpic and now it supports viewing picasa pics as well, which was one of the only reasons to use the stock Gallery. And it's free.
The only remaining reason I have to use the stock Gallery is for those "shot & more" pictures I still want to edit (but that comes with a big bug of its own).
Thanks
Thanks so much for your help! I think I am getting things sorted out. For some reason though when I move the picture around or make any kind of changes, it changes the date from the day it was taken to when I last changed the location. I think that is why all the videos are on the top. Is there anyway to change that back? Also Im not a big fan of the gallery app so I think I'll try quickpick! Ill let you know how it goes!
So I'm currently running slimlp, I'm staying with lollipop because of the issues the newer ROMs have. On every single lollipop ROM, except 1, there's an issue with the media scanner. It won't scan all of my music, it shows only about 1/4 of all of my music, but nothing else. I've let it in overnight, but that didn't help. Also, mtp won't show all of the folders on the SD card for some reason, but they all show up if I use a file manager on the phone. Also, it's always the same music files that show up with every ROM, it's not random. I've tried forcing the phone to scan the missing artist folder, but I can't get them to show up.
Please help.
EDIT: I am seriously at my wits end with this phone. I can't view any pictures at all in the gallery, the gallery will only show photos taken with the camera in a single folder, I can't view pictures taken that were svaed to the SD card, the gallery says that there's 0 images available, but I can see all of the taken photos just fine in the file manager. Someone please, has to have some idea of what is going on here, it's soo annoying.
Similiar trouble here. I faced with issue that it do not scan particular files on different roms. Seems it stucks on non-existent files.
