I went on a trip this weekend and several of my pics are missing. No thumbnail, and can't see the pictures.
See picture attached.
Anyone know of any fix for this.
I have cleared cache, cleared data, rebooted.
Please help.
Looks like it might be your SD card is going out.

That was my first thought, so I did order a new one...but now trying to get them back.
My computer doesn't even see the card on my phone. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Try testdisk, it's worked for me plenty of times on failing SD cards & hard drives:

Remove the card from the phone, put into an adapter & plug into your computer, then run testdisk & follow the prompts.

I'm not sure i heard it was just for apps however you us connect using PC mode it opens a drive to that 8 gb internal memory. It has some drivers and PC applications that you can install from it. I didn't try writing anything to it at the time and I'm not sure you can. Give it a try and let me know.

Why WOULDN'T you want it is the question...
I like the idea all app data in one place and my data in another. Especially since the card can't pop out by accident. Why fill internal mem with media and then complain about no room for apps, imo of course.

So.. For some goofy reason... for the past 2 hours my Fascinate has been asking me to Turn off USB Storage, and it tells me that its Preparing SD Card...
Here is the kicker... Its not plugged in to anything...
I have a Voodoo 0.2 Kernel with 1.2Ghz on the Fly... It has been working since I last posted about a week or 2 ago... So if its nothing I can fix, I would like to know how to properly Hard reset the phone... I am afraid to just go to Privacy, and Wipe Data, etc... Voodoo is weird...
I will try a few things in the mean time, but any help is appreciated.
(EDIT) I tried to plug it in to the computer, and I can't get it to mount without it wanting to prepare the SD card... I was going to put on a Voodoo/disable_lagfix but running into a problem with that...
Goodluck. I'm blaming voodoo.

Fml... again.. Dont RTFM... I have tried a Odin Restore to stock, and its just chilling at the Verizon Wireless screen now... I am waiting for it to kick back on (hopefully)...
I did put a Voodoo/disable_lagfix... I had to use lightning speed. lol.
How long should a boot up take after a Odin restore?
Ok. Voodoo sucks. I lost my info on my phone.
BUT IT FIXED MY PROBLEM! lol.
Standard kernels for me.
Voodoo does suck my phone aint mounting no more so no more flashing anything for me.. FML

There's a software online called "minitool power data recovry". It has a price ($40-$145, they have a functional demo), but its performed miracles for me in terms of data recovery.
But my first recomendation, anytime you experience data loss, STOP everything your doing with the drive (or sdcard), every second you try to access it, you might be loosing more and more data.

After you figure out this mess get Titanium Media Sync so you don't have these problems anymore. I gather you don't have a cwm backup?
Sent from Bonsai 7.1.1.1
Also never pick SetCPU for set changes on boot until you thoroughly test your settings. This way it will restore to stock settings if you lock up and have to reboot. The same goes to Voltage Control or any overclocking/undervolting app. Every phone is different and requires custom settings and extensive testing.

Did I just get a bad card... If its the latter will TEP replace it?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Edit: went to Sprint store and told them about my problem. they didn't ask any questions just replaced the sd card... Unfortunately they said they were out of 16 gb cards so I got an 8, however they gave me the 16 gb bad card back and a business card with the store managers signature on it and said come back in a week with the SD card and they will replace it... Seems like I'll get to keep the 8 gigger (as he put it) too...
I saw this problem earlier in the week, and my friend's epic wiped all pics/videos- blanked it, but somehow kept the apps.. the data was still there- I used diskdigger (pc app from diskdigger.org, which you have to pay for- i think it's $15 now) and an usb sd card reader. I did a surface scan for traces of files (dig deeper), where you have to tell it what to look for (eg: look for .jpgs only), and it pulled up a ton of files- some of them browser cache files, some were the missing pics, etc. I guess you could use any file recovery program, but the thing to remember: if you think you lost everything, don't use the sd card! Writing anything to it might write over the files you are trying to recover. A new 16gb card off amazon is around $30. I'd love to know why the epic erases everything.
I have had a kernel do this to me twice in the past. Turned out to be some error in script. It has long since been fixed. It was like my SD card got formatted. Everything was gone. Hope that's not the case for you. Out of curiousity, which kernel did you flash?

Yes same thing for me got replacement with card from Asurion and I am convinced now their cards are not probably 16gb and faulty. I can't access the card at all on my pc even with some advanced tools.

Bad SD card or power interrupted during file transfer. Format the card (FAT, full format vs. Quick format) would be my recommendation - if it fails during a full format you should consider a new Micro SD card.

Should have put it in your pc. Probably could have saved your data.
Hi
I have been having this exact problem with my external SD card, I started a thread long ago about it.
The biggest danger so to speak is that the card may be a counterfeit.
There is a software to test this, its freeware so no worries people and you dont need to install it you just run it and it will tell you if the card is pretty much fake or heavily defective or even if its a low class card in a high class casing.
Read the instructions while you run the test and you will understand how it works, the test takes some time and depending on the size of the card of course just have patience. I have had very bad problems lately with memory cards that i bought so now I use this every time when i buy a new card.
God I hate fake things but worst I hate those who sell them.
Attached is the freeware.
Cheers.
I. tried to save it but windows didn't see it and the format didn't finish it fails

For now (till we get root) use the "My Files" built in app if you need to write to the SD card. It's about the only app that seems to work consistently.

have you tried DOING anything with your 128 card? some of the stock apps will play nice, but even deleting a picture will give you a "sorry KitKrap doesn't allow sd card access". when I finish a video and go to delete it "sorry KitKrap doesn't allow it", when I use Google Drive and move a doc over to another folder or file "sorry KitKrap; nope!".. I've always been extremely well organized, and I've put a lot of time into organizing my SD card with any files or folders I'll need or use for work, and KitKrap won't allow any of it.. it's actually the exact same thing as when the "LOCK" switch is switched when you plug a standard SD card into a computer, except you can never turn it off.

Actually i discovered that the stock photo browser app only hides images, doesn't delete them. It may just be me, but after taking a string of shots of my daughter and trying to delete all but one, the gallery app said they were deleted, but when i plugged my phone into my computer they were all on the sdcard. Curious if others have the same issue?
Gonna be fixed in Lollipop. Long live sdcards!

Mostly I have all my pictures saved to it. I also transfer movies and tv shows to it on a daily basis. (Download a tv show to my laptop and transfer it to sd card via usb) On average, I have about 5GBs of free space left on my card.
Only ran into an issue once. I tried to delete a folder (season 5 of the show"24") and it claims that the card was "Write Protected" So I went into the folder and deleted the episodes . Folder still remains but its empty. Other than that its been working fine.
BTW I'm using the SanDisk Ultra 128 GB micro SD

I noticed the stock apps dont refresh and also keep a massive cache. I moved a pic folder and it remained in the stock pic app as cache, including full sized images. when I moved my music folder it did the exact same thing.. there's no refresh option. I cleared data and cache from the app, but it must be using some other means to cache, because nothing is actually better afterwards.

Assuming Android team leaves the option intact for the public release. Notice still no sd slot on the Nexus devices in spite of card writes "apparently" being part of the framework now Never doubt Android's hatred for sd cards. Were it not for Apple buyers scarfing up almost all the flash supply allocations for the iPhone launch, the G1 would have had 2GB of flash and no sd slot.
We can truly thank Apple for why Android devices have sd slots in the first place. :victory:

The issue is non stock apps can't write to the card. Of course you will have no issues if use no apps that need to.

You don't understand the issue. Kitkat took away the app's ability to write/delete any where on the SD card, it only allows full access to the app's own folder on the SD card. I.E. sandboxing it. Apps are still able to read the whole SD card though.
