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.

Yeah that's why I'm confused, idk they're no where to be found I guess I did something stupid, im still sure I didnt delete them myself though.. /:
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.

Ok so I just bought the evo shift from sprint and its been working great. I have over 500 songs and lots of pictures et cetera and I've been playing them all the time. This morning however I tried to play some music and it says music not found. Same thing with pics and vids. Apps saved on the card are fine. If I use astro and select a pic or mp3 it will open and play. Just not from any music players or photo viewers. Any ideas?
Edit: also a new development. I forgot to mention that I have clockwork mod recovery installed. And it won't let me turn my phone off. I power off and it automatically boots to recovery. Quite irritating.
Also I should probably mention that I am running my shift stock. No custom roms. Only thing I've done is root it using amoamares gui root method and the only root app I have is cache cleaner ng.
1. Not sure about your music.
2. That is a known issue with the recovery.
Ah I see I well I guess ill try getting rid of the recovery and go from there.

You might try copying them to your computer, making a new music folder on the sd card and moving them back.
Try moving your pics to the download folder and see if they show up.
What device are you coming from?

You don't have .nomedia files in those folders do you? Just throwing out possibilities.

After a little file snooping I discovered a .nomedia file on the root of my SD card ;p problem solved lol . Thanks for the help. Also in regards to my other problem - the forced recovery menu - anybody know if there is another safe recovery I can use?

So just now gallary and videos app stopped finding files on my sd card but when I use a file explorer everything is there? I tried uninstalling and installing the gallary app again but that didn't help. Has anyone ever had this issue? I'm trying to dogde reflashing my rom... it seems the problem is media scanner doesn't run because when I rebooted my phone it didn't show up at first like it always does.

Try using an app like QuickPic and see if they show up. If they don't, make sure the folders containing you media aren't hidden (have a "." at the beginning of the folder name). Also check to make sure somehow there wasn't a .nomedia file placed in there somewhere.
If none of those work, time to reflash.

I haven't tried it but believe that QuickPic would work because the stock video app doesn't find any files but mobo player still works normally. I'm just having problems with media scanner not running. Any app which I could refresh or rescan from within the app finds all my stuff but any app that depends on media scanner doesn't find anything. Idk why media scanner won't run though. Its not that big of a problem but I may have to reflash.
Thanks though =).

Is there a system app that has to do with media scanner? Because I believe I may have uninstalled it or replaced it with an older version that isn't working anymore. I was working on a port of the Epic Dark Horse theme and I didn't pay that much attention to what are the app files already in it. It may have had an older media scanner app that doesn't work on my phone now when I flashed it. That's like the only thing I can possibly think of that messed up media scanner. Is there such an app?

I just got to a friend's bbq and took a photo, then I noticed all my photos are gone, the only photo in the dcim folder is the one I just took!
Reboot didn't help.. The folder is literally empty..!
Could it be that they are on your extrenal card and that it has failed? Or maybe you removed it?

I had a hunch it was connected to viber being installed, don't know why.. So I uninstalled it. Hasn't happened again since then.
But anyway its a good idea to have the Google plus auto backup activated.
Hey guys I have a weird issue where my gallery app is not seeing some of my pics on my external sd card. The pics it is not seeing are pics that I had moved onto the card from my computer. They are in the DCIM folder along with some pics I have taken with my device. Currently only the pics taken with my device are showing in the gallery app. Anyone else having this issue?
Mods, please move this to the help/Q&A section. I mistakenly posted in general
Hey guys just want to bump this. Surely I'm not the only one having this problem. Any help greatly appreciated
Check for .nomedia files on your sd card and remove them

In my case the gallery shows only pictures saved till a given date. Lasta night I made an experience: Dismounted SD card and Mounted it agais, amd the result is that now I get even less pictures displayed.
However I can find and use them using root explorer, but not with any gallery app
I also run some sd-fix app's but with no result
very strange

Thanks pasil. Hopefully somebody else might chime in with some other ideas. I've tried everything so far. It just doesn't make sense. The .jpg files are saved in the same place as the other .jpg files that are pictures I have taken with my phone. There is no logical reason why those .jpg pics show up and not the ones from my computer. The gallery app should pick up all .jpg files.

Just tried clearing data/cache. Didn't work. [emoji19]
I even tried using a different gallery app and that app doesn't see the photos either.
Did you checked the date? sometimes it's resetted to 1999 and the recently taken photos are placed at the end of the list.

Just checked the dates and they are OK. The recent photos I have taken with my device all show in my gallery, but some of the other .jpg photos I moved onto my sd card from my computer just aren't showing up at all in the gallery. Makes no sense. I'm totally at a loss. I can see the pics in ES File explorer but not in the gallery
That maybe stupid suggestions. Can you access those "invisible" picture using stock file manager? If yes, try to create new folder using stock file manager and copy/move few pictures for testing. Check if new folder with pictures shows in gallery.

Maybe you could try little walk around. What about uploading few testing pictures on your pc to your dropbox account and see if you can successfully save them for offline viewing on your note.

Ok so this is really weird. If I download a pic from my drive account it does show up in my gallery. Also, if I move one of the photos that is not visible in gallery on my sd card to my internal device storage then it also becomes visible in my gallery. So the issue is isolated to photos moved onto the ext sd card from my pc. I'm hoping someone smarter than me can come up with a fix because I have many photos I like to keep downloaded on my ext sd card.
What about moving them back to sd card. Try to create folder on sd card using stock file manager and move pictures to that folder. I have no problem storing pics on my sd card.

Ok so problem solved! Upon your advice I created a folder on my sd card and moved the pics there and they showed up! Turns out if you have them saved anywhere in the DCIM folder on the SD card they won't show up, but if you move them out from there they show up in the gallery app just fine.
instaled Quickpic and now I can see all photos and pictures
