How's everyone doing?
I just jumped ship from the Captivate owners and picked up an Atrix. So far im loving it but have some questions. First off, if I create a folder on the internal sd card and put some movies from my computer on there, is there a way to have those show in my gallery? Or is there a way to create a shortcut on a home screen to the folder with the movies in it? Second question is using the.stock email app, how do you switch between accounts?
I would greatly appreciate any help that can be given. Thanks.

Any videos and pictures will show up in the Gallery no matter where you put it on a external SD card. And just press Menu within the Email app and select Settings and you can change your primary account there.
Oh man I feel so stupid. I checked the videos and didnt see it. Turns out I just didnt realize they were the videos I put on the phone because the thumbnails had some trees and I though it was a video I had taken.
As for the changing of the email accounts, thanks for that info. Somehow I missed that option completely.

Ok this is going to sound really stupid but hear me out I'm POSITIVE I didn't delete the videos off my phone.
So yesterday I was out with some friends just chilling and I took some pretty funny videos of some of my friends. To share them with my friends I decided I was gonna upload them to youtube, but I couldnt do it directly from my phone for some reason. So I decided to email both video files via gmail to myself then upload them later on the computer. I check a couple hours later and the message is still sending, because of the amount of memory both videos were I assume, so I decided to give up and just find them on the sd card then move them to my pc. So I delete the message that was sending with the attached files since I wasnt going to go about it that way anymore, but then I go back and look through my phone and notice I cant find the videos. By attaching them to my gmail did I move them off the SD card?
I don't know about your main problem but in order to send pics/videos your carriers mobile data must be on, it will not work if only WiFi is enabled.

Sorry I knew it was too confusing. The uploading wasn't the main problem, my main question is if by me attaching those video files to my email then deleting them while they were still in the sending process, did I basically just delete those files off my sd card too??
It shouldn't have deleted the videos, not sure how that could have happened.

What usually happens with me is the gallery app doesn't read new vids or pics when its running I kill the app & they pop up

I have a problem with the gallery app too!! Looking closely one of the random camera videos, it has a screenshot from a different video I did delete. How is this possible.. I may have deleted the two videos by accident because of this. Is there any sort of trashcan?

So I cant just delete everything in that cache folder? or Just delete the video cache?
I delete the whole file as it will rebuild the cache

Have you tried using a program to locate the deleted files and "undelete" them?

You can "undelete" from SDCARD with 3rd party applications, I have done long time ago. But I am not sure you can do it since android writes/modifies sdcard too much.

Settings ->Sync -> you @ Gmail -> Clear check picasa...
I know you're asking about Picasa sync issues, I don't know if they are saved on your sdcard but this may help:
Drop a .nomedia file in a folder and all media files become invisible to the gallery..
A .nomedia file is just an empty text file saved with no name and the extension .nomedia
You can make the file yourself, or just copy one of the many that are already on your card and paste the copy in whatever folder you want hidden from the gallery.
There was a bug last year that caused previously indexed media to be deleted if they were subsequently hidden. I'm pretty certain it's been fixed but you might want to test on a file you don't mind losing before you wipe out your entire porn collection
edit: I'm running CM7rc0 and it appears the bug has been fixed. It's an old bug, I would guess late versions of 2.2 are fixed also. I just tried this on some junk files, rebooted and they are still on my card but not in my gallery

Hello All,
I been having problems with my Gallery photos. It seems like they disappear or does not want to show as if it is corrupted. Photos that are saved on computer and moved to my SD card most of the show up and the ones that will not show up is there when i select it in the gallery (but not show up as an icon).
But recent photos taken with nexus camera will show up but then a day or so it will disappear (icon will not show up in gallery) and when i click on the blank icon it will not show up at all (as if it is corrupted). As soon as I take a picture with the nexus camera I can go to the gallery and select it and click on it to enlarge the picture but its after a day or so it disappears.
So I drag the missing pictures to my desktop on my laptop and it says picture can not be shown. What happen to my recent photos taken with my camera phone? Please help.
I have tried killing the gallery app and still no luck and also restarting the phone.
thanks

Not sure if this is against the rules to bring up an old thread but.. atleast i used the search function!
Im having this problem on my Galaxy S2.. and... is it sure that theres a problem in the internal sdcard?
Can it not be fixed by some different kind of reformat or something?
Or do i just need to go somewhere and have the sdcard replaced.
Try replacing your SD card? that at least eliminates one possibility.
so i had a completely stock atrix as of a few days ago, and i decided to dive in head first and start tinkering. im rooted, sideloaded, and gingerblured. and i love it. its fantastic. my problem is that i took a picture of my girlfriend as my wallpaper before flashing gingerblur, and forgot to back anything up. well the flash wiped everything, my wallpaper didnt change, by luck... but i cant seem to find the file anywhere on the atrix. aaaaaand i dont have another copy. anyone have an idea on how i might be able to find it?
really? nobody has any clue?
There are numerous programs that will attempt to recover data from SD cards though I am not sure they will work if the pic was on the internal storage partition on your phone.
Its your girlfriend right?
Take another pic?
I dont remember if i stored it on internal or sd. But being as its still the wallpaper, it has to be cached somewhere, right? And while i could take another picture, perhaps i like the one i have. Id like to excersize my options before giving up. But thank you for that well thought out, very contributory answer shriva. Much obliged...

Try this...
Hook it up to your PC and select "USB Mass Storage". Go to the drive representing your phone in "My Computer" on your PC. Use the windows search function to search *.jpg
See what pops up.

tried the above, but no avail. i was fiddling with root explorer and just kind of exploring things, is it possible its saved in a cache somewhere? i guess the fact that i dont know the file name doesnt make things any easier...

I'm out of ideas then. If you only want it for wallpaper then you could clear off a home screen and use a screenshot app to save a copy, but if it's scrolling when you switch home screens then you're going to miss some of it. Also, depending on your launcher you're going to probably have some visible icons in the dock.

Try this path using root explorer.
data/data/com.android.settings/files/wallpaper
There should be a file in there called wallpaper.
I would use copy though, not move.

Thankyou goscrewsir. Thats where it was. Awesome.
Anyone know whats going on? I guess this has been happening for about a week. All my old pictures are there, but when I reboot, any new pictures I took will just disappear from the phone
Im also on EC05 / Syndicate 1.2. Never had this issue before though
Ok I did a full wipe... and now it deleted ALL of my pics... Whats going on???
All the folders and other things remained intact, but all my pics from the DCIM folder are gone. Even other pics like icons saved in a download folder are gone.
Always backup your card fire this reason. I had to odin back to stock and then root and reload srf. All my pics stay now. Not sure what caused it. Thought it was because it is a new sd card.

By "full wipe" you don't mean "Factory data reset" under Settings -> Privacy do you?
As far as the original problem is concerned is the issue that the files were actually gone from the SD card or just that they didn't show up in Gallery and what not?
When I said full wipe I meant through CWM, so it shouldnt have wiped my pics out like that. I did do a backup thankfully though its a couple months old so I lost a bunch of things.
Its the same SD card Ive used since November or so. I guess I will format the SD card fresh and then copy over what I had saved.
This problem has returned for me with new pictures. I dunno.
Is everyone having this using a theme?
I think theres a broken framework.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I'll ask again... Are the files being removed from the SD card or just from Gallery?
No clue with SRF but "Media Storage" should be running (Settings > Manage Applications > Running Applications).
Clearing the data for this app will clear out Gallery/Music/Video/etc (just the displayed items, not the actual source files). The media scanner should run (scan) shortly after booting and display a notification.
Not sure how to manually fire off the media scanner but if the files still exist and simply don't show up for you then this would be my first troubleshooting step (searching Google for "android invoke media scanner" pointed towards some apps/methods).
Maybe this helps, maybe it doesn't

Pop the card out and put it in a computer. See if the pics are on the card that way. It's possible they are on the card but whatever program you are using to look for them isn't finding them. for instance, if you are using Gallery and you have disabled media scanning then it will never know about new pictures.

It deleted them off the SD card permanently. I have no idea how it was able to do that. Every image no matter where it was saved on the SD card was wiped out.
Go into cwm and wipe cache and dalvik.

I tried that after I couldnt save my new pictures several times as well as trying fix permisisons. Nothing worked. I finally did a wipe of everything in CWM and reloaded Syndicate 1.2. When it loaded up all my pictures were gone.
Yeah I started about this in Q&A a couple days ago.
It cant just be a coincidence that its happening to us all at the same time.
Must be something were all trying out thats mmessing it up.
Only thing I can think of that I flashed last was that Heinz theme (which is beautiful if I may say so myself).
Whats the last thing you guys flashed before you got that problem?

Theyre completely gone. They dont show up in the gallery, file explorers, or when mounted to my computer.
I lost alot of pictures I took with my girlfriend on the 4th
I think this started after I installed some new themes- it was either Blue Myst or Shake + Bake. I didnt realize my pictures werent saving since I didnt reboot my phone for a while

Yeah the Shake n Bake is the Heinz theme I meant. Maybe thats what caused iit since The Root said the same tthing as well..
Shame because that theme is gorgeous.
We should all ttry Odin-ing than just flashing SRF 1.2 and a kernal and see how it goes for a few days.
