Today when I tried to take pictures with my HD it seems to work but does not save the picture. It waits for a long time (like a minute or more with the "working" sign) and then goes back to camera mode but no picture was saved.
Please help with this strange problem.
It happened to me when I recieved mine two months ago. I had to give it a hard reset and after that I tried the camera first and made sure pictures were saved on memorycard. No problems since..........
Sure its not in the DCIM folder?

What can be wrong with the DCIM folder?

Nothing at all, but if you are searching for your saved images in "my pictures", rather than "DCIM", you won't find them.
Its a mistake I made when I upgraded to WM6.1

Strange new problem: when go to change home wallpaper, when I get to "my wallpaper," which is the screen where the pictures show up, I see NO pictures, it is blank.
Anyone have an idea how to fix it? Also, stange is that if I blindly tap a part of the screen the picture will show up.
Thanks.

Dave, how many images do you have in that folder? the only thing I can think of that might cause all those symptoms is having an over-stuffed folder maybe.
Nah, stock images folder. It had worked after last hard reset, just noticed the problem the other day. Must be something I installed though it is pretty close to stock. I'm resisting doing a hard reset just for this problem, but I may give in if there are no solutions. Thanks for thought.

thanks for your help? *sarcasm*
anybody else having this problem?
This is the first I have heard of it but lets see if we can find out why. First we need more info to help you. Are you on a custom rom or stock? Is it crashing as your scroll at around the same place? Do you let it load completely before you scroll? How many pics?

I am running the stock rom. Sometimes it crashes when I load sometimes it crashes when I scroll around but its never at the same place. I got 32 photos.
Thanks for trying to help me out man I really appreciate it.
edit: I just deleted some of the pictures off my memory card and it seems to be working fine now but this is very crazy to me that I cant have a lot of pictures on my memory card without the album crashing.

Sounds like one of those pics are corrupted, I hate to say this but there is only really one way to find it, that is to move the pics to the pc and add them back one by one and see which one it is. (at least thats what I would do) were the pics taken with the camera or where they ones you downloaded?

I think your right about some of the files being corrupted because most of the files I deleted they were downloaded else where. Thanks for your help man!!!
I have read that some people when they get over 50 pics thats happens. It has never happend to me. Usually when I download pics and I don't put them in the DCIM folder thus they dont show up when I am scrolling through the picture in the album.
Hello everyone.
I've just realized that after making a video if I delete it and shoot another one the little preview on the file shows the previous and deleted video,it does not match,so I have to go through all the videos in order for me to see the one I want to send or watch.
Has anyone had this issue?
Thanks so much.
Yep
Yep
having same issues with my streak....must have something to do with Album Art Caching....need to write an app for this...
Thank you very much for your reply.I thought I was the only one experiencing this.
Anybody else?
Last night I called Dell and they are gonna send me a new device,since this one is not even a week old.
Yeah me too.. a bit annoying but I got over it pretty quickly.
We all should report this,Dell needs to know,the more the better.
Did you find an app for this? any workaround?
Thanks.
Little workaround
I think I have just found a little workaround to solve this issue.I put my videos on a different folder on my computer,this is what I did after that:
-Go to sdcard (use Astro,Linda,windows file explorer will work too)then go to DCIM,you will see two folders camera and .thumbnails (just delete this one only)
Once you have deleted that one put the videos back on the camera folder,then take a look at the gallery on your streak,now the videos should be showing the real preview.
If you delete one of the videos the issue will be back and you will have to start the process over.After messing a little bit more with this folder I can see it does work.So if you come across the same bug give it a shot.
just initiate a new media scan..
Ok...I know it sounds very stupid specially after trying so many steps,but how can I do that....I'm sure I'm missing something.
Thanks.

Your phone should do a media scan when you restart, if that doesn't clear up the problem you can try an app like Rescan Media. It forces a media rescan without a reboot. There are others, that was the first I found.
Ok...I think I got it this time.Maybe it is one of the apps that do not autostart when I turn on the device,I use autostarts to disable apps and I must have disabled something that was not supossed to be off.
Thanks.
Hey guys I just bought a Motorola Defy Mini (XT320 , Android 2.3.6) and since I bought it I experience the following problem?
Whenever I take photos,after 1-2 hours when I go to the Gallery to check them the dissapear and it says: "No items in your Gallery."
Then I usually reboot my phone to fix that and then they are completely deleted! (I can't even find them in the File Manager)
I've already lost a couple of photos can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance!
PS: I haven't rooted my phone its intact!

Try another application for view, for ex. QuickPic if there is the same issue.

Hard to say what is the cause for this. The safest way to find it out is to backup data and make factory reset.
If problem solved issue was caused by some application, if not you can have also hw problem.
I have a strange problem that began sometime in the past 3 days.
I went to post a picture to Instagram and noticed no photos were present under "Gallery". Even after taking a photo within the Instagram app, the new photo didn't show up under "Gallery" in the Instagram app.
I started digging and found out that this problem started within the past 3 days. I could identify this time frame because Google Photos uploaded a photo taken on my phone 3 days ago. Pictures since then have not been found by the Google Photos app. I have already reset the cache and data of the Media Storage system app - it rebuilt the Gallery app's index, but still the problem persists. I've also reinstalled affected apps.
Google Photos sees pictures in other folders outside of "DCIM\Camera", such as downloads and Music. So the issue seems to be related somehow to the DCIM\Camera folder in particular.
List of symptoms:
Cannot access photos from Instagram app, but I can share from Gallery app to Instagram app
Message+ crashes when trying to add media to a text
Cannot access photos in Camera folder from Google Photos
Gallery and Files apps seem to access files normally
Any help would be appreciated! I'm using a Verizon V20, stock OS.
Started having the same issue with my v20. Found a solution yet?
No, I'm sorry. I ended up just backing up my pictures to my computer and factory resetting my phone... I need it working correctly for work.

Looks like I'm going to have to do the same thing. Everything works fine after the factory reset?

Yup - so far so good. I have all my apps reinstalled and accounts added...no issues. I really have no idea what happened, but definitely sounds like a V20 issue. Do you have the Verizon version too?
Oh! I just realized that I just installed the new security update the other day. I'm pretty sure it lines up with the problem starting. I bet that's the cause.

Also have a verizon version and just installed the new security update also. Looks like I'll have to look more into my security settings. If I cant find a solution I'll have to just do a factory reset.

I bet the update borked the file system - not sure if there is a setting to fix it. That's a pretty big problem if it happens to everyone though.
Any other suggestion for this? I literally tried everything and I do not want to factory reset my phone. Its very frustrating!
I did the Factory Reset hoping it would be the 'fix'.
It worked for the rest of the day, then failed. I also have other Apps freezing or crashing.
After a lot of effort in a search for the solution, I slowly adopted the repetitive sentence that the phone is nearing the end-of-lifecycle and not enough time was spent making sure the update would work fluidly with all aspects of the phone. I *****ed and moaned for hours and got a nice discount to upgrade to the V40. Two days with the V40 and all is well in my world again.
