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.

Download the appropriate Desire HD RUU from this forum with your PC, connect phone to PC and run the RUU. This will reset your phone to factory fresh state.

a really strange thing happened to me....
i had to have a factory reset since the camera app just decided it didn't want to work properly. started with not playing back videos, then while recording videos it would just crash to home screen and in the end it just didn't start at all. lol
anyhow. i had the factory reset and everything went great. but i noticed that every app i had previously installed started coming up in the applications list. i only had to restore my contacts and the phone was just as before. even the wifi list was not cleared. i had every other wifi installed already..
another good thing that came out of this whole thing (well, the menu buttons still go off and on whenever they please...) is that the battery consumption is awesomely lower. i mean, i had to recharge the phone twice during the day, but now it stays on for about 24H even if i'm gaming on it for some time....
strange things....
oh, forgot to mention that it's a non rooted, stock rom carrier free phone
(i wish i could root it but it's all SO complicated and the risk of bricking it leaves me with stock apps like facebook/tweeter/stock market etc eating up the battery juice.... oh well)
sorry for the lengthy reply..
Cheers !!!

Yeah, your previously downloaded apps and some settings are stored in the cloud. If you don't want them back, during the initial setup, skip the Gmail account setup. Then open Gmail and add your account back. Your apps and settings should not be downloaded again.

The Apps and other things come back when syncing with your google Konto. Nice Feature BTW

CM7 + Honeycomb Music App = Cloud Music Sync NOT WORKING :(

I reporting back on something I stumbled on yesterdays after updating to the latest CM7 2.3.3 build. After updating I have been removing the sock music app then replacing it with the Honeycomb version. Upon that I was prompted with several permissions request and accepted them all. Syncing then started and I checked that under that under Account and Sync notice Music was syncing. This synced overnight. I put in a empty SDcard in. Then I went in to the Jumper Test that comes along with the Music app started the peer under the Controls tab, Ran a test under the Logs tab ( showed 785 files and the files names below) went back to the music app then went to music settings and checked Stream Music and my music started to show up! Played a few songs no problems at all. Let me know if this is working for anyone else.
*EDIT*
So I guess this inst working anymore. I did test this when I originally posted this but i cant get it to work anymore. Sorry guys not yet

is there a way to access those files from a computer too? i mean since its synced in the cloud, could be really useful.

If your objective is to have your music available everywhere, try AudioGalaxy. it streams to computers, android and iDevices.

How did you replace the app? I tried to but the honeycomb music just keeps FC'ing

As far a a URL to go to on a computer I haven't found anything. Ill post the apk i used when I get by a computer sometime later. Basically I just used root explore to delete the stock music app then installed the honeycomb player.

Gotcha. Did that, syncing now...

So, I have a question..
If you already have these songs on your phone, why would you want them "put them in the cloud", so you can play them on your phone, where they are already???????

So you don't have to keep gigs of music on your ad card. This is great news!

If they're in a cloud they dont need to be on his phone. In return he saves space on his memory card. However, if they're not on your phone they're not going to play when you dont have a connection.

I wonder if running a logcat during sync would reveal where this cloud is?

ah, that makes sense..
although, I have a 32 gig card, so i dont care that I have 10 gigs of music on my card..
Plus, thats a good point about not being able to play your music if your connection goes south...

Wait does this download the songs back into the SD card or does it stream your synced music from the cloud?

Is it force closing when you opened after install or after you tried to sync your music? If its force closing after install download it again. It works for me.

[Q] Not able to rescan media

Hey guys,
I've been searching around, but I can't find a clearcut fix, so maybe someone here has some insight. Recently I started noticing that random pictures started dissapearing from my gallery, seemingly (but not 100% sure) after the kitkat update on my Note 3. Before I also saw some pics dissapear (a couple I downloaded) but I didn't put much thought into it.
Now, after the update, I was sarting to notice more pictures have dissapeared. The thing is, if I go into whatsapp, select a convo and click on media I actually see the pictures and all, but in the gallery in the "whatsapp images", and in "all images" album they are nowhere to be found. I tried for a solution on google, but to no avail except rescanning the media. Usually that would be taking the sd card out and put it back in to rescan the card, but it refuses. The weird thing is that every app in the store that deals with rescans imediatly Force closes when starting the scan. I mean all of them, and I installed about 10. I have no cfw's or roms running so I can't figure out what the issue is.
Obviously I tried resetting, rebooting and all the usual stuffs.
ANy help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dylan

Seems like you need a reflash of stock firmware.

Did it work out for you?
You see - I seem to have run into the exact same issue.
Running 4.4.2 stock rooted.
Reflashed with Mobile Odin
Injected Root, SU, and Mobile Odin
Wiped Dalvik-cache & user data.
Reinstalled everything.
Improvement: Zip, Zilch, Nada.
Still forced closure on media scanners :crying:
Help!! (sniffle).

Fixing permissions didn't help either.

Android L Sucks.

I flashed on my Nexus 4 Google's factory images, yeah, the animations are cool and pretty fast but Google makes me have to use Google+ for example.
I don't use it and don't need it, but If I uninstall Google+ I can't use Photos, and It is the only gallery app on the device..
What can I do?
I just want the old Gallery...

So you are saying that android L sucks just because of that?

there re plenty of gallery. quickpic is good.

@Wassupdog: Install QuickPic, for exmaple, and live happily ever after.

So you can download another gallery app, then uninstall it (may need root explorer)!
Hope I can help you!

Pretty much.
In my opinion, the whole concept of Android is not be tied to 1 thing only, do whatever you want.
And that's really annoying when Google makes you keep an app that you don't need just because it is tied to another app.

You mean the AOSP version, not G+ Photos? Keep an eye out for an apk, or flash one of the AOSP versions of loli. Though I'm not sure if Gallery is present there, but I assume it is.

Wait to CM12

Dont click on Google+? It doesnt force you to do anything with it. Yeah I suppose its annoying if you cant uninstall it but just ignore it and problem solved?

Here's the AOSP Gallery you wanted: https://www.sendspace.com/file/cyym47
Make a folder named GalleryGoogle under /system/app and paste the .apk inside the folder you created. Set the permissions accordingly and reboot(if you're not sure about permissions, check the other folders and .APKs' permissions using Root Explorer). If it doesn't work, you need to do something with the lib files.

i kinda see his point. the first thing i always do when i flash a new rom or in this case stock image is get root, get a app like "root uninstaller" and start deleting all preloaded apps that i don't want like google+ and earth and newsstand, etc. i like a clean OS with just what i want and it doesn't hurt that doing so also free up more ram and system storage
but now i can't do that AS MUCH as i want cuz some apps are link like google+ and photo. Until i find a good 3rd party app that looks good with the OS to replace some linked apps i'm stuck like this
