    Hi. I have a samsung galaxy j5. I had a memory card with important pictures on it. But somehow they got deleted - dont have a clue how it wasnt me - they just wiped. Do you know if i can get them recovered at a phone repair shop? Any help would be really apprexiated.

    You can get software that can recover photos, as long as you haven't used the card (written to) since.

    Download something like RescuePro or similar and give it a try. Many of these applications have a cost, but it depends on how much the photos are worth to you.

    A phone shop will only be doing this themselves anyway.

    You need to run the software on PC or Mac, having the SD card connected to the computer as a drive.

    You can get an adapter in most of the €2 shops. A micro sd adapter, either to usb or sd card.

    Either you have a slot for SD cards on your computer (Notebooks tend to have them) or you'll need an adapter. Google for "micro sd adapter usb" to see what I mean. You can get them dirt cheap from chinese shops (no use for you since it's urgent), or you can find them in most places that sell micro SD cards. Sometimes you'd even get one of them when you buy an SD card.
