Hi.
I started a voice recording with the stock app and let it be. 5 hours later, it was still there in my notifications and still updating (i.e. the time it had been recording was still increasing). However, a few seconds later the icon disappeared and, when I went to the app, it asked me to record a file with the same name again. And when I went to the list of existing recording the new one was nowhere to be found. I know there is a chance to recover such files with an SD card (because it is given a "LOST.DIR" folder), but does such a folder exist in the internal memory? The same thing happened on my S4 yesterday (I lost a two hour recording there) and the free space available was reduced to accommodate the 2 hours that had been recorded and lost.
I have tried Wondershare Dr. Fone but it keeps crashing at 22% and Tenorshare's "Getting Superuser Authority" process takes much, much longer than the 3-5 minutes it claims it will take. It is important to me that I recover that file if at all possible (this isn't the first time this has happened with this phone, but the previous recordings I've lost have been much smaller in length). Thank you very much in advance.
P.S. I took a picture of the notification that showed the recording at 5 hours if anyone wants verification. I also know that sometimes recordings shut off when the phone runs out of storage space, but whatever they managed to record is always saved. I also know that an hour's recording takes up roughly 60mb - after the recording disappeared, my phone told me it had 484mb left (it had plenty of space before too).
Again, thank you very much in advance. I'm looking into alternate apps now (Easy and Smart Video Recorder so far) and also the possibility of reusing an old SD card. Do you have any other advice to ensure this doesn't happen again? Thank you.
