thats strange. Your pc name is Kevin right? So its possible that when you connected your phone to pc that it somehow synced your gallery with it

A little camera problem

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.

Gallery pictures disappering or corrupt HELP!

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.

this really isn't the right section for this, u guys gotta stop posting such stuff in dev section. nways, y don't u try mounting the card on pc and do a search with "blogger" as a keyword, just sayin..
If you try disconnetting from internet, you'll notice that those images can't be showed properly. That means that they aren't on the sdcard, but they can be found in your picasa album, in this case, named Blogger. Just log into your web picasa album and delete them.

Thanks a million you just saved me with your reply
This is very simple to do but not anybody knows how...
Removing memory will somehow load it back if u reboot (i think)
The right method is go to setting>application>manage applications>gallery...then simply tap on clear data, it will only come back if u sync picasa on setting>account & sync>your google acc...there's picasa sync option ib there...and it will sync again when u install new rom...

Picture Question

Hello guys, my dad has just bought a nexus 7, and I must admit it is a really nice device.
However there are some pictures on it and we cant find how to delete them, i have even been in the system files using astro.
I have also hooked it up to a computer and still cant find them, however they show up in the gallery of the device.
Any ideas?
Thanks
ATR

Showing nothing in there, been and had a look in there already thinking it was in there
maybe its pictures that have been uploaded to g+/picasa, they will show in the gallery even though they arent in your device.
You can delete pictures using the stock gallery app. Open the picture then tap on it and you should see a trash icon at the top right. If they are in an album, just long-press on it to see the trash icon.

Disable syncing of Google Photos in settings/accounts/Google.
Then, delete the cache folder in/sdcard/Pictures. That's where they are stored.

[Q] where's my folder ?

Just got my Nexus yesterday and not having a smooth transition from my S3.
Heres my first question.
Where's my WidgetLocker folder ?
I connect phone to PC and open the internal storage and have looked in every folder it lists and find nothing in regards to widgetlocker. I know they are in there somewhere cos when i open widgetlocker to make changes they are available.
Thanks !

Whoa !! I swear on my grandkids that wasnt there last night.
I just hooked my phone to pc for first time today and BAM there are several more folders showing up today ( without looking in subfolders ) and there's my wl stuff !!
LMAO> I hope this is not a sign of how things are gonna work 
Mtp can be a bit buggy and not update the contents of your storage when plugging into your PC.
Rebooting your phone will fix this
