hidden files vanish - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so i safestrapped and flashed jellybeans on one of the safestrap slots and everything was great.
i hadnt done anything major to my phone but i had a bunch of hidden files (mostly photos) in two files. one was stuff hidden directly from the gallery (select>move>"file name") and it worked great. no problems. another was a
backup" file with media i just moved into there with es file explorer.
two days ago, all of the sudden, gone. cant see it in the dialog when i try to move media in my gallery. i found the file in es file explorer and its empty. same with my backup file. what the hell?
i havent done anything major to my phone.what would cause this? how do i get them back?!

srs, need help

all the sudden, there is this folder called Undelete that showed up randomly. all the files are broken and the is 725+ of them. I'm guessing these are my photos I lost.
is there a way to use an external pc App to restore the files from my phone? I plugged it n and can't get anything to scan the internal memory.
helpppp

Oh yeah, a screenshot...

I kind of got the same problem.....
I realized that everytime I have the "Faster Transfer" option chosen in "Settings>Connection>Usb to PC" I am only able to reach my storage card but not my phone....
So uncheck that and you'll probably be able to copy to your phone

manual sd card fix help

was wondering, i have followed a few tuts on how to manually fix sd card permissions.
"
Using a root-enabled file manager (like ES file explorer), navigate to /system/etc/permissions
Edit platform.xml and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
Add an additional group definition for this permission: <group gid=”media_rw” />
Save the changes to the file.
Restart the phone."

Delete apps that you're not using like Kies, Themes that you don't use (in case you have themes feature enabled, etc.
some are in priv-app folder, others in "apps" folder.

System Data on External SD taking up over 20GB

My memory card today told me I was running low which I found odd.
Upon checking I noticed System Data was taking over 20GB of room.
Before using this memory card on this phone I formatted it as set it up for external use
I have been searching on google for a while and cant find any reason for this or how to fix it
Any ideas?
thanks

Found a fix
From your phone dialler, dial *#9900#
Tap on Delete dumpstate/logcat and it will show you dump result. Click okay and exit and reboot
Dial *#9900#
is working for some mobiles only.
Not for all. Others are still finding it difficult to get rid of insufficient memory message popping up when updating apps.
This problem is big and most users are suffering.
No other way than to format a mobile / factory reset.
*#9900# doesn't work on AOSP roms -.-
Edit:
Unplugging the MicroSD card, putting it into a Windows PC, and putting it back to Android changed the files. They showed up as Found.00 and i could delete them.

Lost Book Annotations When Moving Files with ES File Explorer

Okay. I recently downloaded the ES File Explorer app. on my Kindle Fire HD 8 (7th generation) so that I could move files onto my sd card. Well, when I did this, the annotations on the ebooks downloaded from Gutenberg disappeared (I believe the file type is mobi). Oddly enough, however, the annotations on my pdf files were unaffected. Is there anyway to get back those annotations? Also, before I moved my files, I renamed one of the ebooks using ES. Renaming also had the effect of removing the annotations. I attached pictures...not sure if they help.

In the first picture, notice that the mobi files appear to have a corresponding folder. The mobi file whose name I changed is "Notes from the Underground.mobi"; I think its previous name was "pg2554-images.mobi". When I changed the name, is it possible that, when I opened the mobi file, it couldn't link with its corresponding folder which caused the annotations to disappear? I don't know how to account for the other loses, though.
