When taking photos & video - there is no consistency with where the images are stored - some store on the SD and some on the phone. Is there a setting somewhere that I can set to always default to saveing on the SD card? I haev looked but cannot find such a feature. Just makes it a pain when I have to go searching for a pic I have taken.

I am new to hd2 and I have the same issue. In my TP2, I had used advanced config to select my pictures vs DCIM in the camera setting and then in locations, I had selected storage card\my documents for my doc storage and never had a problem.
With the HD2, there is an extra setting available in the camera apps to select storage, either phone or sd card. If I pick card, it sends pics to the DCIM. If I select phone storage, it puts them in the my docs on the phone.
I just want them to go to my pics under my docs on the storage card.
Ideas?

So I have loaded DCD's 3.2 rom, and everything is working pretty well...
The one thing that kinda sucks (and is most likely just a quick tweak somewhere) is that even though I've set the camera to store images on the sd card, when I go to do a new email and insert a picture, I have to browse all over to get to the default folder on the sd card under my docs, my pictures... otherwise it defaults to teh devices my pictures, and when you choose storage card it then tries to go to the dcim folder.
Any fix for this? I have a feeling its a registry tweak, but none of the changes I've attempted have done anything :S
Thanks for the great work DCD
Seems like deleting the folder and then using the pictures and videos app allowed me to at least have it remember the my pictures location when I click storage card...
however, it still tries to use the my pictures folder on the device rather than storage card by default when you first go to insert --> picture... so still looking for a way to have it default to search the storage card first...
Hi really need help on this one, i was having problem with the sd card and was unable to capture photo or video unless i used the phone memory to save, so browsed and found a thread saying to delete the DCIM folder which allowed me to actually take pictures and record but doesnt save to phone or storage card
I seem to solve 1 problem then another pops up please help as i got this phone for the quality of photos and video it gives you.
format the sd card and ensure you are saving to it and not the phone
Hi
Start up the camera, go to settings on the camera start up screen. (Thats the one that looks like a small gear wheel/Cog.(Touch it) It will now show the menu. at the bottom left you should see a storage icon that looks like a sd card. If its showing a phone, then touch it until it changes to the sd card. Now all your photos will go to the sd card.

ive done all the things mentioned, when i use the phone storage it works fine then when i switch to storage card the camera and video dont work i just get a message saying unable to capture photo or video. could it be the sd card thats at fault.
Use the attached tool to check for corrupt cards. Just unzip to your desktop and read the readme file

thanx will try it now
Guess I should know but not sure ....Whats the best way to move my photo's around on the phone. I think they are stored on the internal phone storage which is starting to run out and as I have a 32GB inside I would rather they went there.
Thanks

You can move the photos with any file explorer for your phone.
You can also save any new videos or photos directly to the external sdcrad by; opening camera and change settings / storage -> memory card. Do it in the video settings too.
Thanks
Yep.....should have known !
Anyway many thanks for info.

How come every time I download a file within my browser it saves it to the internal storage, is there a way to have it set to the SD card? I set my pictures do the same but for some reason before flashing the new SFB it would save to internal. As far as apps as well, since data is saved like notes on the SD it is now saved on the internal ? ?
Set your storage location to SDCard in the settings.

I did but every app folder gets saved on the internal, your talking about where it says Windows Media Sync and you choose SD CARD ? because I did that already before and everything gets sent to the internal card
If you go into setting for Pictures, Videos, or music, each has a storage location. I have not checked the others (Kindle, ect)

Picture and video is in the camera app, but what about browser when I download a pdf file from a website. ? also my app like SMS BACKUP the file automatically saves to the internal SD card anyway to turn that off...
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.
