This happened again

So as the title says this happened again. I was at my sisters theater camp performance taking pics with my Samsung Focus. All was fine until I looked at my pictures and noticed 20 of them I had taken were missing. I turned the phone on a off 2-3 times and they never came back.. So now I lost lots of pics of the groups that performed there. And this happend 3-4 months again with my Radar 4G. I was at a concert taking pics and the phone was ok and then It randomly reset while I was taking a pic, and then next thing I know I lost a lot of pics and the camera made the phone crash. I don't think this is caused by Samsung or HTC, its the Windows Phone software. I really love WP and tell people about it, but it's hard to when the camera is going to louse your pictures and videos. And on a side note both of these phones had problems where they would dealt texts when I turned the phone off and back on. I really hope WP8 fixes this.. I don't want to leave but whats a smartphone without a camera I can trust?

This is one reason I like the iPhone. Photostream. Never lose a picture again.

That would not have really helped me since the place the performance was in was almost a AT&T dead zone and there was 200 people unloading pics, ect. My texts were deyladed 45 minutes. And on WP you can have all pics auto upload to skydrive, so that's kinda like Photo Stream.

Wow, i've never read of this sort of issue from any other WP users since your Radar experience, unless this is an issue that happens to be prevelant in both Radar and Focus, its very odd and must be extremely annoying.

Are you taking the pics at the phone's full res? Have you gone through the Camera and Gallery settings to check if there isnt some sort of limit on how many you can take?

Same with your texts, check in Settings if there isnt a limit of how many the phone saves.

I hope the above helps, nothing more annoying than an unreliable smartphone.

Well my Focus has 1.45 gig of space saved for camera texts ect. And my radar had around the same amount of space. It's not a storage problem. I just think its somthing with the OS.
