Bit of a strange one, had my S3 for about a week now, unbranded on Orange - Loving it (apart from the omission of a lanyard attachment!)
Anyway, although the canera is great, I am finding, that as I change the storage for video and still to "memoy card" rather than the default "phone" as I have a Sandisk 64GB micro SD in there, if I change any settings, such as changing the shooting mode to "burst" or HDR etc, then when I close and susequently reopen the camera/video app - the storage hasd defaulted back to "Phone"
Is there a way to set "Memory Card" as the default and have it atay that way??

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?
Have looked around, and can't find out much. I know the SGS2 has peculiarities when it comes to the internal and external storage while using CM7. Is there a way to have photos/ vids taken with the camera on the phone saved directly to the external sd storage?
If it's a simple UI setting, then god forgive my ignorance.

I doubt it right now at least. I haven't actually tried it on my SGS2 but I know on my captivate running CM7 I got into the habit of using root explorer every day/week whenever I had pics/videos that I wanted to move to the emmc just in case I ever had to do a full wipe or anything. Never had to actually format ever on my captivate but once you get in the habit it is not too bad.

Think I got it:
settings>cm settings>application>use internal storage
If checked, it appears to use the external sd card. if unchecked (default), it uses internal sd card. sammy sure likes to make things confusing.
If you open the camera app and click the gear icon for settings, then swipe up on the settings to scroll down (took me forever to figure out there were more settings below the fold) you will find a setting called "Storage". Change it from "Phone" to "Memory Card" and photos will save on your external_sd.

We don't have that option in CM7, which the OP said he is running. It should work with the settings be changed though.

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.
Hi,
I'm on Omega ROM V24 XWLSW (4.1.2) and I have recently encountered a weird and annoying problem. At first, I noticed that Instagram couldn't refresh its feed and trying to load videos made it crash, then I saw Facebook was refreshing feed, but not loading pictures. I didn't know what caused this and I thought it was app-related, but then I saw the gallery thumbnails appearing as simply grey squares, and when trying to load a picture it loads it with "lag" (imagine the picture divided to 16 squares, and each square loads after another...). Then I realised it had to do with the internal memory.
Every time I reboot it's back to normal, but after a period of time (which I can't really say is constant) the internal memory is back on "half-sleep". I can still access it with file explorers and I can still view pictures on it via gallery (read above), but apps like Instagram/Facebook/WhatsApp can't use it (I can't download photos). Maybe it becomes read-only? I don't know. When I connect the phone to my computer with the USB function in "Settings" it has to reload the internal memory and the SD card so it also timely resolves the problem.
I have no idea what causes this and I'm asking here for any suggestions you guys might have before I factory reset or whatever.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I recently adopted on Xiaomi miA3 a 32GB MicroSD card as Internal Storage, everything works fine, the storage space has effectively increased from 64GB up to 96GB...But unfortunately the Stock Camera got a problem: whenever I take a picture, I am not able to open it anymore. The preview circle on the bottom left of the Camera app becomes all gray and the photo is not saved on the usual 'Camera' folder, neither somewhere else. Even if I take a picture from WhatsApp it says: 'Camera failed'.
Please if anybody else got a similar problem or knows how to solve it, help me.
Thank you
