Downloaded this app to try it out and put some photos and videos there. it has an option to remove them from the app but once you remove them they get erased!! :mad:

i've located the files with my file manager, however, they're encrypted. i would like to delete the app but in doing so those files would also be lost. anyway around this so i can recover my files from that app?

the thanks button is ready :)
 
You can also send the developer and email to find out

I'm the developer of Vaulty. Sorry that you had trouble with this issue. It should be fixed now so just make sure you're using the latest version of Vaulty. You can also try turning your phone off and then back on to help the gallery find the pictures and videos that were unvaulted.

Hi Theron Rogers, thanks for the apps :). I hope you can fix this problem as soon as possible.

I'm using Vaulty Free ver2.5 and when I tried to unvault the image, somehow it was gone forever and I still don't know how to get it back.

i have been using vaulty free for about 6 months now all of a sudden it will not let me hide any pics i have in the camera gallery, it usually comes up saying it is moving it but now it is just popping the vaulty screen on for like a quarter of a second then comes back to gallery and doesn't move pic.
it lets me move pics from other folders to vaulty?
and also it used to remove the pics from the folder when you shared them with vaulty now they are still in the main folder and you have to manually remove them, is there a reason for this? i have uninstalled then reinstalled it and it works one time then cant move camera pics again

I just updated my version of the free Vaulty and I am unable to unvault images. When I select them and tell them to unvault they will leave vaulty but won't show up in my gallery. If i power down the phone the images will return to vaulty.

When I select the images to unvault if i leave vaulty open till after the phone sleeps they will be back in vaulty.

After removing the images from Vaulty it will sometimes seem like they won't return, then after checking the gallery they will reappear in Vaulty.

Any Suggestions?

i had installed vaulty free on my droid x a while ago and had numerous photos and videos on it. something has happened recently, and when i try to open vaulty free it says i dont have a password set- would you like to set a password. i did have a password set. if i click on option "later", it then goes to another message that says "sorry, vaulty free has stopped unexpectedly. please try again." with options ; force close or report. i have repeatedly tried force close but nothing happens. its almost like vaulty free has been deleted from my phone.
help!! i dont want to lose my photos/videos!!

Hi guys,

Frankly, your best bet to get the files out is to use Vaulty again...

However, I've switched to Kii Safe, it's a nicer app for media concealment. No Ads. YMMV. I'll caution both that you shouldnt put your only copy of vital media in these vaults, and all also caution that you shouldnt assume that these files are really secure. These kinds of apps are just convenience tools.

Mr Rogers:
I started hiding my files through vaulty then I stopped while the transfer was going through. I decided to uninstall it then hlf of my pics showed with a tria ngle and exclamation point. re-dwonloaded vaulty which didnt fix the issue, it ws like starting over from scratch. So i restarted my phone and all the pictures with exclamation points disapeared!! :( is there anyway to get them back?

I installed the vaulty free app & am having trouble getting it to hide photos that I have taken with my droid x2. Other pictures that were already on my media card (added from computer) will hide just like it's supposed to but new photos just taken with the phone will not. The ONLY way I can get them to hide in vaulty is to email them to myself, re-save them & then they will hide. I have also tried adding the photos to another folder but this also has not worked. What am I doing wrong? Has anyone out there had this problem & how do I fix it? I tried uninstalling & reinstalling the program & rebooted but it still does the same thing. Please help......this is a major pain to email them back to myself everytime. This is also my first droid.....I was a previous blackberry user so I am still learning.
Thank you in advance for any help!
Tina

P. S. Now none of my photos will hide....what am I doing wrong?
