Videos Not Showing
Hi all,
Having a bit a trouble finding any of the videos on my phone. I've recorded a couple 4k and slow mo vids, as well as have videos from my previous phone that I've transferred over. I am able to see/play them on the phone, but when connecting to my PC (Win 10) with MTP mode chosen, they and their save folders aren't visible on the phone. For example, the internal videos on the phone are located in the DCIM/Camera folder. When going into the DCIM folder on the phone via Windows, there is no Camera folder. Perhaps something else of note is that my Camera FV-5 app's folder is not visible in there either. Am I doing something wrong, or is Windows at fault?

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.

When I transfer my Pics and Videos in camera mode, Windows wants to transfer my whole SD card, and wont transfer the videos I've taken. Any ideas why?
I'm using auto-play transfer on Windows,
Thanks-

I am pretty sure within windows - while the transfer is happening, there is a way to click on the transfer icon and change the parameters of what is transfered - but the way i remember it, if the transfer is quick, you can't get to these options.
For me, i don't ever use camera mode. I use Media mode, then click on the phone under my computer and browse to the DCIM folder (on card, or phone) and move files manually. But i usually don't even do that. I let dropbox sync it all automatically. It is free and i don't lose anything because i forget to transfer.
I have the auto play settings all set up. It seems to only do this with android. My wife's iPhone and our camera transfer right.
I like the way windows renames the files and puts them in dated folders.

So here's little annoying issue.
When i plug my N4 to PC and access Camera folder i see all the thumbnails of pictures taken with stock camera.
BUT
Thumbnails of edited pictures (edited with that stock N4 app that is accessed in the bottom left screen when previewing) are not showing up on PC!
I have to copy/paste them to my PC's desktop or any other location and thumbnails would be generated as soon as transfer is complete!
Anyone has any idea?
Hi folks;
Stupid question maybe but man, I'm getting really pissed off with how hard it is to use Android and starting to understand why there's a cult of people flocking to the iPhone.
Anyway, I've got a Nexus 4 with Android 5.1.1 on it and I shot some video on my vacation. You'd think I could get it off the phone and into Picasa or Youtube or my desktop but man, I'm about to lose it!
How the hell do you get video off this piece of **** ? This is NOT intuitive at all.
Videos should be stored in the DCIM directory on internal storage. Simply connect your phone to a computer and browse to the DCIM directory and copy the video to your computer.

Thanks for the help! I just went there (to that directory) and there's nothing
Did you check all the subdirectories? They are stored in DCIM/Camera on my phone.
I did. There's DCIM and underneath that there's a folder called Camera and that one is empty. I'm wondering if they are stored somewhere else because they still seem to be on the phone. On a more positive note, they are automagically uploading to YouTube. I have no idea if I instigated that or it just happened on it's own. There seems to be little documentation on how any of this works or where the videos are actually stored.
Your help is appreciated nevertheless !
When I view the pictures I have taken with my Galaxy s7 edge in the Samsung Gallery app it offers some functions that I would like to keep when I transfer the files to PC.
1) It seems there's some kind of AI that puts the pictures in categories like "food". Where is this Metadata stored an how can I reuse it once I transfered the files on my PC?
2) When taking pictures mith the camera you can enable that it records a short movie (2secs) how do I access this once the file is on my WIN PC
3) When taking panoramas to can access a little movie that shows how you turned the camera as well - is that one accessible on PC?
I've googled for an hour and couldn't relly find any relevant Info.
Can anybody give me a hint?
Thanks a lot
Rolo
