Hey guys,
Woke up this morning and all my camera taken pics are gone! They gallery opens up and there are folders listed with downloaded and sample photos, but no camera photos. Not even the "camera" folder was there. I just took a picture now and it created the camera folder and there is only the one picture in there that I just took. I had like 350-400 pics on there and poof they are gone.
Any ideas?
Anybody know the path on the SD card of where the pics are stored?
Thanks.
/sdcard/DCIM/Camera is where my pics are stored anyways.
I remember in my days with my Moment my gallery used to not always load the images. I would delete the directory /sdcard/Android/data/com.cooliris.media and then it would force the gallery to search the sdcard again to index all the pics. No idea if that's the approved process or if it works on the Epic (mainly cause I haven't had the issue), but it used to do the trick.
Search the market for Rescan Media. Useful tool to force a rescan for the gallery.
Un-mount and remount sd card should be ok

I can navigate the sd card anf the DCIM folder is ther, but empty. I unmounted and restarted the phone with a battery pull too, nothing. Ill try rescan media later. I just found out my lookout mobile app was also not set to back up pics
Ok today was the first time i used the camera app on my play. I took some photos but now i want to actually access the files without sharing them via facebook or email but i cannot find them anywhere on the sd card or on the main memory. My phone is rooted. The only way i can access the photos is by clicking on media and viewing them that way. Does anyobe know where photos are saved(the directory location) thanks is advance.
There should be a folder on the sd card called DCIM they are in there

Thanks bro
I can attach my digital camera to the Iconia via USB, but it's hard to do anything with the photos on the camera's SD card. Using an app like Astro to explore the camera's card, you can see very small thumbnails of the pictures but cannot really browse the photos.
You can click on a single photo and it will display, but it does not fill the screen. You can't browse through the photos. Instead, you have to return to the list of files and click on the next photo in the list, and repeat that process for each image you want to view, instead of scrolling through the files on the SD card.
Also, I haven't found a way to copy pictures off of the camera's card onto the Iconia for a better viewing experience or to clear space off the camera's card.
I'm running HC 3.1 and thought it would come with an app that enabled better use of the USB host mode.
Does anybody know of a better app to view photos on a camera's SD card when it's connected via USB?
I'd like to tell the camera to use internal storage for all pics vids but I can't find the setting.
Reason is I like Quickpic way better than stock Gallery but Quickpic cannot modify anything on external SD cards due to Androids new laws on writing modifying external SD
Anyone find a work around?
Open camera then click on the settings cog at the top left.

I have a Nexus 5 and just looking at my storage, it's:
Apps + Data - 5.62Gb
Pictures, Videos - 9.79Gb
Audio - 3Gb
Downloads - 1.62Gb
Misc - 5.32Gb (mainly whatsapp and Titanium Backup)
My question is, what are you going to put on your external SD. My music will go straight there, as will my TitaniumBackup files, but I'm curious about pictures. If i store them on the external SD card, will they take ages to render in a gallery app? I'm getting a Samsung Pro+ sd card fyi
It still seems like there'll be a storage problem on the internal memory if I leave pics there
Pictures, Videos, Music, offline mapping data (for Locus Pro - I wish Garmin Viago would put it there too), reference documents (word, pdf, et al), offline backups for pretty much anything that can backup it's data/settings, other misc data.
Hopefully the games I end up getting will put their data there, instead of on internal memory (or at least let me move it).
I have a Lexar 1000x and have no issues with Gallery, etc. I'm prety sure that once a directory/image has been hit that a cached thumbnail is stored internally - regardless of where the actual images and videos reside.
So when you actually click on a pic that's stored on your sd card it shows instantly without any slow rendering?
Also, do the gallery and music apps show both pics/music stored on the sd card and internal memory?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Define "instantly" ... on the order of 1 second, yes. Absolutely identical to an image stored on internal memory? Doubt it. Hard to believe that would be possible when comparing a storage device reading 300Mb/s vs one reading 65Mb/s. The latter is only 20% the capability of the former after all.
Gallery and Music are both pleasantly and smoothly interactive. Again, are they as absolutely as fast as with media stored only on internal memory? Doubt it. Fast enough that I never think about it? Yes.
Would I want a SQL database image stored on the SD card? Probably not, but it would depend upon the usage pattern. If it was 95% read-only it may still be fast enough though.
Thanks! As I'm coming from the N5, I've got all these considerations! I guess I'm used to a certain speed on my N5 when viewing pics in the gallery, and want to know if it's going to be a noticeable loss in performance if I store stuff on the SD Card instead.
I store my music cached from Google Play Music, about 10 GB, and my pictures. I have always stored pictures on the external sd and I have not noticed any difference between this phone and my previous LG G3 or Galaxy S3 in terms of how fast the gallery loads. There is no noticeable lag. I also back up my Tasker profiles, Zooper Widget files, and other settings to the external sd.
