Photos and videos not showing up on Windows in DCIM\Camera for Galaxy S21 Ultra

Laycee last edited by
Often I can't see any files in DCIM\Camera on my Galaxy S21 Ultra running Android 12. Last night it worked and I copied multiple GB of videos / images, then it didn't work the next times I tried.

I've tried the following steps:
- Rebooting phone and computer
- Uninstalling the phone in Device Manager under Portable Devices
- Updating the USB driver using the ... menu in Smart Switch
- Updating the USB driver by downloading directly from Samsung
- Enabling USB Debugging mode and rebooting (this made things worse so I had to turn it off)
- Changing the USB mode to charge only and then back to "USB for file transfer"
- Changing the USB mode to "USB for image transfer"
Any ideas on how to fix this?

This was able to be solved using the Files app to move a bunch of images to another folder and move those off the device and then the DCIM\Camera folder worked again (read online that the image count can be a cause of this issue).

As a tip, pressing and holding and dragging allows selecting a bunch of files relatively easily.

Let's say I have some USB stick that I know and trust. I can examine the firmware and generate a checksum for it. Can I use this checksum to ensure that when the USB is next plugged in the firmware was not modified? Would it be possible to do this before and firmware ran? I don't see why not. Since you already have some method to examine the firmware (apparently), why not just examine the firmware again when it is next plugged in, take the checksum, and compare to the known good checksum... This seems obvious, so maybe that this is not what you are asking about. However, if this is not what you are asking then your question is not clear to me...

If you disable the Off-road mode in Opera then it plays the video rather than downloading it.

You can goto My Files, settings, check Show Hidden Files. Now you can see hidden folders beginning with "." (say .hidden) in your device explorer. Check you sd card for such folders beginning with . that may contain your files. If not then you can connect you sd card via card reader to your pc and run the windows app "recuva" (search recuva by piriform) to search for deleted files. Hope this helps

Assuming that the person that sent you the video has a Gmail account, ask to upload the video to Google Photos and send the link, that way you'll be able to see the video.

This is not really a solution, more so a workaround, but as I got no answers for 3 years, I decided to post it. While I think messenger got better lately, it still compresses every media. It's no surprise - they have to store them on their own server after all. But there are a lot of messaging apps that store all media on the recipient's phone instead. Most of these send all media uncompressed, or at most compressed in a barely noticeable way, and they have the additional benefits of generally being much more private and secure than Messenger. Some I used for a longer time are: WhatsApp - it's very widely used everywhere in the world. Used to be renowned for its privacy, but recently there have been issues regarding that as Facebook made modifications. It sends all media without any compression. Signal - it's a new one, but already gained widespread usage comparable to WhatsApp. Most of the users changed from WhatsApp as Facebook made those privacy-violating steps. (In fact, the week that happened, they had so many new users they temporarily had to shut down the service as the servers couldn't keep up.) It is by far the most private one, as the whole service including the app and the server is completely open-source. Especially used in areas where privacy is more of a concern, like the USA, troubled areas like Hong Kong, or non-democratic countries, but it is gaining popularity everywhere. LINE - I used it on a daily basis, and among all these, it feels the most "premium". I like the interface, and the stickers and themes are, while paid, are of exceptional quality. Out of all, it's the closest to Messenger in terms of features. Mostly widespread in the Eastern-Asia region, especially in Japan. It also has an interesting backstory: originally it was created by the LINE corp. for internal usage after the Fukushima accident, to let the employees spread and gain information quickly. Then it proved useful and more and more outside people requested to join, so eventually it became public. Telegram - I haven't used this too much, but it is roughly on the same level as Whatsapp used to be before the disputed steps of Facebook. KakaoTalk - I barely know its existence, but I list it for completeness. Just as LINE, it's mostly used in Eastern Asia.

FTP, Samba, SSH, RSYNC, SCP, WebDAV, Git... Depends what you're doing. Network disks, network files, FTP/SFTP customers can be installed. You can use a cloud. Used to synchronize files in development https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rsync /SSH. If this one local network needs/may use Samba servers and mount Linux directories into Windows as online disks.PlusYou can pick up a FTP server on Linux and connect through a client (e.g. FileZilla), but FTP is not safe.We can use it. https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinSCP and connect through SSH/SFTP.You can use a cloud like Yandex.Disk/Amazon.IDE built-in (e.g. PHP/WebStorm)If these are public server files, you can use CURL/Wget. Some SSH-clients have the possibility of transferring the file through a regular interface. Linux to WindowsAs you understand, this is not a trivial task. Linux and Windows authentication systems are different. To transfer files to Windows, for example, a shared (shared) resource can be created and used sambaclient for the transfer of files, but why? Think about your task again, why do you need that? You can build tunnels, set FTP/SSH servers on Windows, etc., but it's probably not necessary and it's too complicated. Revise your own ideology of work in heterogeneous environments. Don't try to reproduce windows-test in Linux. Good luck.

Android's built in decoders are rather picky about the files they will play - limited encoded resolution (possibly less than that of the device's display), limited bitrate, limited formats. If these are new files, try encoding them to be less demanding. If these are files that used to work, see if something on the phone is perhaps slowing it down - on on rare occasion I had a file that generally plays start failing part way through. A reboot might be worth trying.

Windows 10 made it possible to retrieve the flasks safely without safe extraction, straight ahead.There are two modes of operation with a flash drive:Rapidly forbids the system to display the data = the main flush is ready to be extracted at any time, but the side effect is reduced productivity, which can be seen in the recording of large data. The mode is default.Manufacturing and hinginginging is present = the line cannot be retrieved and the safe recovery point is again present.Modifications can be found in the disc management section: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4495263/windows-10-1809-change-in-default-removal-policy-for-external-media ♪

The most commonly used method I've seen captive portals use to determine a device's operating system is to check a browser's User-Agent HTTP header. Since you are using an iPhone, you could use a browser that allows user agent switching. A list of iOS browsers with that capability can be found here. Another method would be to use an authorized device to gain internet access and spoofing your iPhone's MAC address to match that of the authorized device. However, I do not believe this is possible on the iPhone without a jailbreak.

Alright, I went through the sourcecode and the answer is surprisingly obvious: Yes, this can often be muted by simply using the volume keys while using the app or adjusting the volume of the media audio channel in the preferences. The media volume is used, regardless if the device is in normal, silent or vibrate mode. But it depends on where you bought your device if this works (I guess), some devices enforce audio over a channel that can't be muted. More (technical) details: The camera app checks the device configuration (system property ro.camera.sound.forced) whether it should play the camera sounds over a system-enforced audio channel that can't be muted. If this setting is off, it uses the media and music channel instead. In case that it uses the music channel, it ignores when the device is in silent mode though. This might be a bug/small oversight by the authors. This is why you have to adjust the channel volume instead. I guess the property mentioned above is set depending on where you buy your device, since the sound is required by law in some places/countries as explained by eldarerathis in the comments.

You can use Android secret code *#*#4636#*#* to track the usage time of the video player. While that does not give you the number of times video player has been opened, it should give you a fair indicator of the number of times (= usage / video duration ). The secret code needs to be entered on the dialpad of your telephone app This app does the same and is an alternate to the secret code - 4636. Screenshot of usage time on my device below. You have options to track usage as shown ( Thanks to OP for highlighting another app App Usage that worked but 4636 didn't)
