OK, here is my Dilema.
I have a 8GB memory card with 4GB free space and the default destination to store pictures on my phone is the Storage Card. But for some reason, the Camera App only lets me take a maximum of 13 pictures, Video only 2 minutes, and then it displays out of memory.
I have copied off everything and Formatted the SD Card, and it still displays the same thing.
But if I switch storage to Main Memory, it says 156 pictures can be taken, and yet it only has like 145MB left there. And the size of the pictures are 745KB at most so far.
Any help here would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Bump for this.....i ran into the same issue. Does anyone else have this problem or perhaps some sort of solution for this?
is there a registry setting that locks how much of the memory can be used for pictures?

Can anyone tell me why my camera doesn't work without memory card ? Its showing insert memory card. Come on , not even 5 pics on the onboard memory?
Think its the phone internal memmory.
I think they set android to that because of the storage space of the internal phone memory.
The size of a 5Mp foto takes up some storage. When the internal memory is filled up to much. The phone (android and applications) will slow up/not respond/or crash.
That's correct - since photos from the camera can be over 1mb in size, you'd quickly fill up the internal memory and kill the phone

Thanks guys
i have transferred photos from my external sd card on to the internal memory on the phone. When i choose gallery my photo's dont show up anymore
Anyone know how to set the default choice to internal or both?
I have had this issue with some phones and it is like the phone will not recognize the media. Easiest way I have gotten around it is to download what is on the card to a pc and then re-download to the phone memory. But sometimes that doesn't work either. And I haven't found a way to save to internal and external memory at the same time without copying.
thx for the reply
I am running CM7.2 on my Atrix, and when I stored photos on the internal storage, it would store them in reverse chronological order, as it was supposed to. I had never kept an SD card in my phone but I recently got a good deal on a 64gb SanDisk card and set the camera to store pictures on the external storage.
Pictures stored on the SD card were being stored in chronological order, instead of reverse chronological order, so I had to scroll through all of them to get to my most recent. Pictures on the internal storage and pictures in other albums (such as downloaded pictures) were still in reverse, it was just the SD photos that were wrong.
A few weeks ago, I was going to be out of cell coverage for a week, so I transferred all of my photos to the SD card so I would have more space for pinning music from Google Music (why doesn't Google Music allow you to use external storage for pinning music?) and now all of my photos, except my downloaded photos which are still on my internal storage, are in the wrong order. I have over 400 photos, so this is kind of a pain.
Is there a setting I am missing, or is this a known issue with external SD cards?
Use quickpic. You can choose how you want them displayed. Its the best out there.
That is a great alternative, and I have been playing with it for a little bit now. Thank you for pointing it out. But what I would really like is to know why the stock gallery app is acting like it is.

That I don't know. From the day I got my phone I've used quickpic as the stock gallery never finds all of my 2000+ pictures internally or externally.
I have a Galaxy Note SGH-i717M on stock rooted ICS 4.0.4. I use CamScanner (version 2.1.1.20130425) a lot. I've used it so much that now it keeps popping up an error that says "SD Card is full" whenever I open it. Recently I scanned a large amount of documents in batch mode. Most of the pages got processed, but a few are left stuck with an hourglass icon overlayed on the pages. I have emailed IntSig (the company who makes CamScanner) and have not received any response, despite being a premium user. This is why I'm here asking for help.
I checked my storage and I have:
Internal Storage: 540MB/1.97GB Available
USB Storage: 0.00B/10.84GB Available
SD card: 19.42GB/29.71GB Available
So it looks like CamScanner is calling my "USB storage" an sd card. I identified the location of CamScanner files in /mnt/sdcard/CamScanner/ (this is not the sd card, despite the name). And I know that the sd card is actually on /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/
I looked through all of CamScanner's settings and there is no where you can specify where it should save files, unfortunately. I would much rather have had CamScanner store its files on my 32gb micro sd card on /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/CamScanner than occupy the very little space I have on the usable internal storage (USB Storage) on the phone
I've had to delete apps on my internal storage to try and get CamScanner to complete its batch processing (so that I can eventually make PDFs of the processed images). Now I have run out of apps to delete on my internal storage. Is there anything that can be done about this? I would like to use CamScanner without deleting more apps every time I scan things. Is there a way to force CamScanner to use my microsd?
Thanks
I use camscanner too. The problem is that the app does much more than save the scan somewhere. It needs room for manipulating the scan. But seriously....your usb memory is completely full? That can't be 100% apps. There has got to be something stored there that you could move to the external sd card. Not to mention without any free usb memory, I am not sure that the phone with all its features and misc apps will not function properly.

I've moved all the apps that live on internal storage to the sd card using app2sd with the exception of 3-4 apps that I need widgets for on the homescreen. Other apps that cannot be moved to the sd card, that I don't need, I have uninstalled already. The rest of the internal space is being occupied by CamScanner and its files to the tune of 5GB+. So it's mostly CamScanner that is now occupying all my internal storage space now (10.84 GB usable internal storage).
I do not want it occupying the majority of my internal storage space anymore. I don't see an end to me using CamScanner ever because it is so useful to me, so the storage occupied by CamScanner will only grow over time. Short of the developers responding to my emails about changing the location and it all working out, I have to figure out something else in the mean time. And yes, I also fear about the other apps not working properly with 0.00 B internal storage left
This is why I'm asking if its possible to move where CamScanner puts its files from, say, /mnt/sdcard/CamScanner to /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/CamScanner using whatever mechanisms possible. Is this possible? Do you know how to do it?
Why not just make a folder on the real sd card called camscanner and move the files there yourself? Once the files are scanned and converted to pdf then there is no sense that they remain in the original folder. Use a file manager on the phone or use your pc to simply move them.

Good idea, I didnt think of that. This will do for now!
Thanks a lot!

As the title already said, on the gallery app of my Tab S7plus all the pictures are black...
It only concerns the camera pictures. I did share a few of these with my phone and they do arrive black on the phone.
I removed the camera and gallery updates. Did restarted the tablet without luck.
I have 239 black camera pictures out a total of nearly 17000 other pictures so only 239 are affected.
New pictures taken by the camera appear normal.
The camera pictures are stored on my micro SD card along with the others.
All data on the micro SD card is intact, so its really only the camera folder which seems affected.
I did found some hits on google about a similar issue on the note 5...but the suggested tips are not helping me.
Perhaps the SD memory controller is too slow or a lot of memory cells are already used up and data writing does not finish properly.
I advise you to replace the SD memory or use DCIM in internal storage.
This happened to me, the cards curropted.
If the SD card is corrupted it is only limited to the camera folder while the other pictures and files on that SD card are still ok. 72.4GB used out of 256GB.
To me it seems that the camera app messed with the pictures in that folder and whatever it was it seems fine now as new pictures taken with the camera are showing correctly in the camera folder.
I already accepted that I lost these 239 pictures in that folder.
I do will make a backup from this SD card in case it fails...
