I haven't been able to keep pictures or videos taken by camera since 10 days now.
I'll see the image or video but then immediately it'll turn into a picture of a broken link.
Then it'll also delete itself in a few hours.
I know my memory card isn't damaged because other stuff I download remains intact.
I've downloaded several mp3 files, pdf files & excel documents.
They're all there.
Only camera items aren't working.
Updates:
Switched off mobile, pulled out sd card. Didn't resolve the issue.
Downloaded several jpg images from dropbox & the internet. Still there.
Only images & videos taken by the banners app are affected.

Update:
Switched saved location from memory card to phone.
Worked fine. Images saving.
Switched back to memory card. Photos getting corrupted then deleting themselves.
But other files are saving to the card without issue.
Try backing up your sd card to pc and then format the and card on the phone settings.

Hi, recently for no particular reason, my Tytn 1 built-in camera stopped working when taking videos and saving onto the storage card. When i click rec, then stop, a black still picture is displayed (normally it would show the first frame of the captured video). Capturing video to internal memory card works fine. Taking still pictures and saving onto storage card also works fine.
Repeating the rec and stop-rec actions shows incrementing filename as though the videos are actually saved but checking in the \storage\my documents\my videos\ folder shows empty folder. All my previously captured videos were also gone.
Please help... has anyone faced this similar problem and how to fix it? Thanks.
Did the following happen to any of you?
I was browsing my DCIM\MEDIA folder with Astro just now, and I tried to open one of the photos within Astro. It asked me whether I would like to open it using the viewer built into Astro or using Album. I selected Album, then it opened up Album and got stuck in the screen saying "loading SD card data...". It never stopped loading, so I pressed home and tried to open the photo from with Album. To my surprise, about 50 out of 60 of my photos in the DCIM\MEDIA folder are now gone! I tried remounting the SD card but that didn't help. Using a card reader to access the SD card with my computer couldn't find those photos either. It seems that they are gone forever... Other stuff on my SD card are intact though, doesn't seem to be a problem of my SD card...
I wish HTC Sync syncs photos... I am using stock 2.73.405.5 ROM by the way...
Hi, I just wanted to let you guys know what I discovered today. Prior to having the HD2, I had a Vibrant, which had HD video capibility. I copied the DCIM folder back to the HD2 from the vibrant, which had some video files in it. It caused major problems. Freezes so bad that the phone was unusable. I am assuming that it is the HD video files, but I haven't copied the pictures back yet. I will follow up if I find that it was something else.
Without those files, Android seems to be running perfect on the 16GB class 2 card...can't wait till my class 10 card gets here tomorrow!!!!

It could be one specific picture or video that is causing the problem with your dcim folder.
possibly, but I removed the 6 HD videos, and copied all the pictures back to the SD, and everything seems to function fine now.
This has happened to me even on WM. All it takes is one corrupted file to bring your DCIM folder to a crawl. If it all of a sudden becomes sluggish, I always just delete the last few additions one by one till it speeds up.
DCIM files cause USB connection to drop
I'm sorry for the "it's happening to me too" post but.....
I store photos on my Samsung Galaxy Captivate internal SD card. Every time I connect to my PC via the USB cable browsing to the DCIM folder causes windows explorer to crash and the USB connection to disappear with the "media scanning" function to take place. Interestingly, the same thing happens if I store photos on the external SD card as well. So far I have tried:
formatting the internal and external SD cards
resetting the phone to factory settings
The problem remains, making the device unusable for transferring photos to a PC.
When it is connected in USB mode for othe rpurposes, there is no problem whatsoever in using windows explorer to browse to and open files in any folder (internal or external SD card) apart from the DCIM folder. After formatting, the DCIM folder can be opened (though it is of course empty) but taking a single photo results in JPG file in the folder that will then cause explorer to crash when trying to open or copy it.
I have Googled around but have not found a solution. I must emphasize, it only occurs with files in the DCIM folder. Any ideas would be much appreciated, thanks.

Hey guys,
Woke up this morning and all my camera taken pics are gone! They gallery opens up and there are folders listed with downloaded and sample photos, but no camera photos. Not even the "camera" folder was there. I just took a picture now and it created the camera folder and there is only the one picture in there that I just took. I had like 350-400 pics on there and poof they are gone.
Any ideas?
Anybody know the path on the SD card of where the pics are stored?
Thanks.
/sdcard/DCIM/Camera is where my pics are stored anyways.
I remember in my days with my Moment my gallery used to not always load the images. I would delete the directory /sdcard/Android/data/com.cooliris.media and then it would force the gallery to search the sdcard again to index all the pics. No idea if that's the approved process or if it works on the Epic (mainly cause I haven't had the issue), but it used to do the trick.
Search the market for Rescan Media. Useful tool to force a rescan for the gallery.
Un-mount and remount sd card should be ok
Sent from my SPH-D700
I can navigate the sd card anf the DCIM folder is ther, but empty. I unmounted and restarted the phone with a battery pull too, nothing. Ill try rescan media later. I just found out my lookout mobile app was also not set to back up pics
I had some pictures on my external sd that I didn't want showing up in the gallery, so I created a "temp" folder with a .nomedia file in it, and moved those pictures into it. The gallery was working as expected, with just those pictures absent. I removed the sd card to plug into my laptop to transfer those pictures. After inserting the sd card back into the phone, my pictures don't show up in the gallery, and my music doesn't show up in the stock music player. But all the files are there when I look in es explorer. After thinking the .nomedia file was the problem, I deleted the "temp" folder previously created that had that file in it, but I still have the problem. I restarted the phone, but to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Try going to Settings > Applications > all applications > media storage and clearing data. Reboot and see if that solves the issue.

That actually made it WORSE (don't worry, I'm not blaming you). In any file manager (even stock), I can see that all my pictures exist where they've always been. Even the pictures from the camera. However, the gallery is COMPLETELY EMPTY. I can take new pictures, and they'll show up in the gallery. So everything before today (December 12, 2014) simply won't show up in the gallery. Wtf?
Restarting media worked for me with my image downloads to internal storage. IT WAS PISSING ME OFF. Works for now, pics that weren't showing in the gallery now do. Downloaded a few images and all have been showing. Considering the S5 was the first Samsung phone I've had since the Transform I was doing a bit of SMH when it came to this issue. Good phone so far besides that issue.
