Camera app can't save pictures on Ext Sd card. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys i 've been searching everywhere for this, but can't find a solution.
Ever since i instaled the Jb XXDLI1 and now the XXDLI2 i'm having problems with the external sd. The stock camera app can't record the photos on it. Mx player can't find any videos on the card too.
the weird thing is that if i go to the folder and click directly on the file it opens normaly.
Other camera apps work perfectly.
Another problem is while transfering files with the usb cable. it is so slow that would take hours to transfer a movie.
Anyone knows any solution for this ?

First thing...what is your rom? Is it a custom rom? XXDLI2 is a leaked jb firmware..thus different bugs can be observd.

Everything is working fine on dli2.. So it is not a bug in the rom.. You might need to do a clean install to get rid of these problems.. Also have you checked the option to store photos on memory card under settings in the camera app

The problem happens in the stock and custom roms. I tried both. I am using now the omega rom.
The weird is that if i go back to older leaks all is fine.
The option to save on the sd card is checked. Once i try to take a photo a warning pops up saying the picture cant be saved on the sd card.
Only the stock camera app and mx video cant use the sd. All other apps can see it normaly.
What bothers me the most is the extremely slow transfer of files using the usb cable. If i take the sd and conect it to an adapter the transfer goes fine.

Music player problem

Hi, encountered a problem with the music player (stock) not displaying albums.All was fine until today when i opened the player to discover no albums.All are there if storage is selected or browsed through file explorer but non show up in the player.Dont recall doing anything that would cause a problem,they just semed to disapear.Any help would be great TIA.
Job done I removed all the music and copied it all back on again and it popped back up.
Just resetting the medialibrary would have done the same.
I did reset the library several times but it just would not show up. Not had the problem before and not had it since, but the fix worked so all good? Thanx for your input anyways.

Is it the pre-installed?
If it is.... you should try some other ,that could work better.
Maybe its a bug , that will be fixed on the next update.

The problem inst the actual player but the android media scanner, it seems to have problems with large media libraries, deleting and copying the files again does work sometimes but not always, best way to be shure you won't have any problems is to use Power AMP, you can find it in the market, that will never have that problem because it has it's own way of scanning the folders

Gallery and music problem

I don't know how this happened, one minute everything was fine. Then I went to show a friend a video and everything in my gallery was gone.. I'm currently on litening 6.1. I just flashed from 5 today to see if a reflash would fix the problem. But nothing is fixed... if anyone else has had a similar problem please let me know. Thanx.

Were the contents of the gallery deleted or the phone doesn't recognise them?
Recuva may find deleted files on a memory card .

My storage were in SD card...very annoying! please someone help to solve this problem....
Hey sorry guys. Now I'm doin it. Haha. Na they weren't deleted.I could find them on my SD card through file explorer and I could find music through power amp. But it was getting frustrating so I did factory reset and everything was fine. Must've been a bug in the gallery or something.??

This is the known problem in Android..
Teh same happened to me on my SG3..
Teh stock 3d gallery and music palyer aint tht good..
Gallery for teh Eclair ROM (2d galley) was alot more faster an better.. But we won't be able to use it in FROYO or GINGERBREAD until some one ports it
Use power Amp an Quick pic as alternatives..
Quick Pic is a must personally. Don't like poweramp for the simple fact that when compared to samsungs stock music app, poweramp at the same volume sounds more distorted

USB OTG & Gallery

i have some videos and pics on a 32 GB flash memory , when i connect it to my S2 with Gingerbread 2.3.6 , the videos and pics showed in the Gallery app after media scanner finished working ,
but on the other hand on ICS 4.0.3 , i connected the same flash memory , and waited about 10 mins , but the media files on the flash drive never showed in the stock gallery app like it did in ICS
so what's the problem here?
any solutions to make the media on flash drives i connect to GS2 appear in gallery app?
thanks in advance
there is an app in gogole play store that allows you to force start media scan...try that out..

Try an 3rd party app, like QuickPic or Camera ICS.

Movie taken with camera lags a bit

Hi everyone
I have a problem with movies which I took with the stock camera app. When I'm in FullHD mode, the video lags a bit. For example if I take a video of moving cars, it is not smooth as I expected.
It doesn't make a difference between internal or external memory.
I uploaded 2 versions (external/internal) to youtube. Maybe someone can help me with this problem.
If you need more information about it, please let me know.
Here are the links: (sorry, I can not use hyperlinks because I'm a new member)
youtu.be/UY_Jk1InBsE --> internal storage
youtu.be/XbN25t6SCOw --> external storage

Or could it be possibel to fix the problem when I reinstall the camera app?
Does no one have this problem too?
Try turning off image stabilization if you've got it on see if that helps.
Does it happens only for full hd or also for 720p videos?

[Q] Changing saved location for camera

Hi
My default Camera app doesn't have a setting to choose the file location so images and videos are being saved to the sdcard0.
I want to save them directly to sdcard1 (the external card).
What's the way to do this? I remember something from the old Linux days about softlink, hardlinks but I forgot most of it.
Is there another solution?
Also, is there a good video cam app that record 1080P?
For still I can use FV-5 which nice.
Device is THL W8 Beyond, android 4.2.1 if it matters.
Thanks.
