[BozemanLUG] cell recovery

Can't help, but if a person adds a micosd card and makes sure all photos and everything important goes there, the sdcard is basically everything proof. It's what I recommend to everyone that keeps their life on their phone.

I'm not sure, but google might have copied a significant portion of stuff (contacts, email, personal data, etc) to the cloud to better track and market you. But I think samsung redirects most of that stuff to themselves and doesn't back up photos.

	Hey all, I've got a situation and thought I might ask the local linux crowd. A friend of mine was camping in the Utah desert and in the middle of the night she got hit by a flash flood. She was lucky to get out alive, but her phone was soaked and ruined. I know it sounds made up but it's really true. Anyway, she lost all her photos and was asking me how to get them back. The local gadget shop (Gadget Fix) offered to try for $800, and she doesn't have that kind of cash. Is there anyone interested in giving it a try?  

	The phone is a Samsung Galaxy, made in India. I don't know much about cell phones, and I'm worried the storage is soldered on. The phone itself is inoperable.  

	Much thanks for ideas, suggestions, or especially any recovery attempts. I think she's willing to pay some, just not in the 800 range.
