Is there any way to specify the save folder for continuous shooting mode? Single photo shots are going to the external SD card like I requested, but continuous shooting mode shots go into separate folders (for each continuous shooting session - which is quite annoying) on the internal SD Card.
I can't find the option any where.
I dont think so, but if you expand those shots, they end up in the folder with the rest of your photos.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was done on purpose because HTC didn't want to worry about dealing with memory cards too slow to keep up with the camera.

Where are all the pictures being saved to? My friend just got this phone and he was under the impression that once he selected the "Best Photo", the others were all deleted! He would like to have the option to save them all.

When the preview comes up after a burst shot just use the back arrow and the whole string of pics will stay in the "100BURST" folder (or something) in DCIM on the internal SD card.

I have had my Atrix since Feb and I just got a 16gb Class 10 Micro SD card for it.
Can I get some help on a easy way to move over all my pictures and videos and then make that the default location for new ones to go.
Cheers,
Chris

So if I do that and then go back and open "gallery" will all the photos and videos still be there? I'm thinking not because you haven't told the phone the new location. so yeah I guess I could drag and drop them anywhere but I will need to know how to find them after the fact.

I dont know for certain if it will show up in the Gallery, but I imagine it would. Either way, if you just go to Files you can select SD Card, then navigate your folders just like you would on the internal one.

it will find them, it did for me, and when I first used the camera after putting in the new sd card it asked if i wantd to move the camera save location there. it was painless really.

I don't believe that the phone switches automatically. It might but it's never done it for me. Perhaps the sdcard is corrupt. Look for files in the lost+found directory.

You might also have another folder called found.000 but you might have to select Show Hidden Files/Folders to see them.

It should tell you when your storage card is running low on space.
So, this may or may not be the same problem I'm having, but I've noticed that my pics will disappear and reappear in no apparent fashion. really frustrating. i've used two diff memory cards, and it's like the phone deletes the most recent ones, then brings them back? WTF? Try to unmount the SD card in the system settings and see if they come back.

I didn't see any posts that you said pictures are actually missing, it seems you just think you would have filled your external..? You can try an app called file expert, choose "my files" then pictures, and it will find all the pictures on the phone.. or the app quickpic has an option to scan folders that have a .nomedia file in them, perhaps your pics are getting saved in a folder that doesn't show? Either way quickpic does a better job than gallery at finding all of your pics.
If you are thinking your sd card would be full from pictures, look at the size of your pictures files. At full resolution highest quality, I don't have any over 2 megs in size, so with an empty 2 gig sd card you would need to likely take over 1000 pictures to fill it up.
If you are sure you have lost pictures/videos that should be on your external, I would replace that sucker and take it as a lesson. Or save to internal, you aren't likely to lose those regardless..

Just tried that and it didn't work..I'm assuming u meant in settings under storage.. I also tried changing it so it saved to internal but that didnt work either ..I can do like 4 burst shots without pulling out of the apps and it just adds the photos to the last string ...are burst shots saved to a specific folder in dcim?
Assuming you're not selecting a best shot and just backing out of that menu to keep all the pictures, mine shows up under /mnt/sdcard/DCIM/100BURST/###/ with the ### being individual sets of burst shots being taken.

I looked at my storage of the phone and the gallery is using almost 3gbs. However, all of my photos and videos are saved to my SD card. Not sure why. Just wondering if anyone knows why and can help free up that storage.
Do you have a lot of screen shots? Those, I believe, get stored on internal storage.

SD card and extsdcard are two different things - are they stored to your external sd card?

^^^ Good question!
I have it on the extsdcard. I just searched my whole Sd Card and there aren't any pictures really on it. Only 10 screenshots which is like 7mb only. There are some .thumbnails folders. One is 400mb and another is 350mb. Not sure if those are safe to delete. Regardless it is still at 2.49 gb.
Can u give us a screenshot

Install DiskUsage from the play store. It lets you see what the major space users are and drill down to find the files responsible.

Tap on the "Gallery" area. It'll expand to the right to show you what's using the space. Then, you can use the two-finger spread to expand the list of files (i.e. the motion you use to zoom in on a picture).
Basically, that screenshot confirms the fact that you've got a whole bunch of space consumed in the Gallery folder, so zoom in to see what it is.
Edit: looking at that again, the "data" appears to be one big file - click and zoom that area to see details. Seems like Gallery is keeping something huge there.

I tried to zoom but all it does is make the box with "data" in it bigger, but doesn't show anything different then "data 2542MiB". If I clear data in the app info would that delete all my pics even though they are on extsdcard?

It shouldn't delete the pictures, but you'll have to rescan them.
What I'd do is to eject your external SD card, then clear data in Gallery, then re-insert the SD card.

Ahhh genius! I was going to backup my phone then clear data. But removing SD card then clearing data worked and was a lot easier. Thanks a lot! Not sure why it was hogging all that storage. It is now only at 20MiB. What a big difference.

I believe it only works if you store pics in the phone's internal memory. I've set it to external storage (microSD card) and started getting this error. Had to switch it back to internal memory.

I've had the same issue when editing photos. I just tried unmounting the SD card and took a new photo, I was able to edit the new photo saved to the phone just fine.
Anyone have a problem with pictures that are taken in portrait mode, as opposed to horizontally, and if you edit them, they won't post on any social media site correctly? Mine all go on correctly, but when I go back to view them they are tilted sideways. Any ideas how to fix?
I don't have any of these issues.
On Verizon, no camera app(s), and every picture taken goes straight to the SD Card and edited, cropped, etc from the SD Card.
