Galaxy nexus Deleting my freaking pics..

[youngzayiles]

Now Im not sure why my phone is doing this or if its affecting anyone else... It keeps deleting my pictures.. Seems to happen after I plug it up to a computer then afterwards my pics go missing... I dont know where they go or anything but its really annoying seeing as how I cant get them back.. Is anyone having these same issues?? Its beginning to piss me off and im also noticing that my signal seems to have gotten worse.. It used to be fine.

Is debugging checked in developer options? That has the ability to put straight up voodoo into your pictures/files.

Thanks I didnt know that but its not checked... Its crazy.. Just started when I started plugging it up to the computer and pulling my videos from the phone...

Could it have something to do with that Google Instant Upload thing from Google+? I'll wager that the photos are automatically put somewhere on your computer and then deleted off the phone. It has to be some setting, but I can't tell you what.

I'm wondering if it doesn't have something to do with your computer settings - you might have inadvertently told Windows to automatically download the pictures from your device in MTP mode - and then you could have had the box checked to "delete pictures from card" after transferring. I know this is possible (but not super likely) without prompting, especially in windows 7. check your autorun settings maybe to make sure its not just automatically transferring then removing pictures from your gnex.

Are you using google plus? Maybe check for photos on google plus website

Damn. I thought it was me going crazy or something. But I've experienced the same thing. Individual pictures and whole folders were mysteriously disappearing from my GNex phone. I even asked my wife did she delete some pictures from my phone in which she said no. It was starting to piss me off. Now I know I'm not crazy. Fix this ish ASAP google!!!

Are they pictures that you have tried to share, somehow? I've had issues with certain apps/roms where trying to skate or upload from the camera app caused the extension to change on individual pics, causing them to appear to need deleted.

This never happened to me. Just make sure auto upload is on for google+ and you can always get them from there if you find out they were deleted. I never really plug my phone in to my computer. I would definitely say it's something on your computer that's doing it though.

Facebook likes to delete pictures you upload from the device.

Also unless your PC is deleting them after transfer they may still be there just not cached by the media scanner. From the Play Store download a free app called Rescan Media and run it. Wait a minute or so (longer if you have a ton of media) and go check. If they come back, you may have corrupt files on there. I would remove everything you want to keep and factory reset the device to wipe the SD card. Then test again. If it continues even after a factory reset before installing your apps, it may be a defective device. Most likely causes though are corrupt files or an app doing it.

Im not connected to google plus so I doubt its that... Maybe I will sync with google plus if this crap is going to be happening even though I dont want to... Its really strange.. I dont see anything with my computer settings that would cause this.. I mount my phone as a drive...

Search the computer for the name/number of one of the missing photos, or JPEGs and dates. If they only disappear when you wire the phone to it you know the PC is doing the thing, you just don't know why or where.
