anyone know how to get the pictures to go to the ext sdcard, all my pics go to the internal card, and i can't find a setting in camera app to change it.or at least i can't find it??
cm10-forgot to mention that.
I think the only way is to use the SD card swap. Of course that will make everything save to the SD card by default, which might not be what you want.

Well it's no big deal to to move them. they move ok to ext sd. but i could of sworn there was a setting for that in camera, unless i'm thinking of a different phone or rom or whatever.
edit: i see in the next update an update for the configuration of storage in camera, so?
For me, Camera Settings - Storage - Storage Card stores all the pictures onto the external card, running stock, albeit rooted, ROM.

Hey guys, about a month ago i accidentally dropped my phone on my coffee table and it cracked my screen. I didn't notice any other damage. Now it won't read the SD card. It will try and mount it and then tell me I removed it or something. I'm running Cyanogen 2.3.3. Stable rom and I have a recent nandroid backup.
I would like to fix this without a restore, but I can restore if that'll fix it. I'm just hoping it's not a hardware problem.
As always, any and all (attempts to) help are greatly appreciated!
Are you using S2E or Darktremor apps2sd? (That wouldn't be the cause of the problem, but would change the way you'd troubleshoot it.)
I really don't know what either of those are. I use Titanium backup and the android app manager to move the apps.
k, just checking. I'd suggest trying with a different SD card if you have one to see if it works with that. If it does, then I'd try reformatting the original SD card to see if that gets it to work again. Just make sure you copy all the files off the SD card with a computer first, then copy them back after reformatting.
Okay it was my SD card. I've moved everything over to a 2GB card now. Problem is, I can't get anything to read my 8GB now. I tried formatting after I backed it up, but it failed during the format and now neither my computer nor my phone will read mount it. It's obviously corrupt. Is there any way to fix this? I can fit most of my stuff on my 2GB card, but I'd like to save the 8GB if possible...

Try this program: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/
It has revived an SD card for me in the past. Hope it works for you.
okay I got the SD formatter. I've inserted the 8GB card using a working micro-SD to SD adapter in my card reader and the program recognized the drive and shows the correct size (7.39 GB). When I try and actually format the card, though, it says that either the drive, or the card is not supported by it. :\
I figured updating the drivers for my card reader would fix this, but I have no idea where to find them...
Some thing you might try:
1) Make sure the lock switch isn't engaged on the microSD to SD adapter. I had to tape the lock switch in the off position on my adapter to keep it from switching into the on position when I plugged it into my card reader.
2) Try formatting another SD card to see if it works.
I don't think you're going to find any new drivers for something as simple as a card reader.

There are many variations of that model... Go here: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/home.jsp?nav=Download and find your specific model, then download and install the card reader driver available/suitable for it.
I have an issue that may be caused by an upgrade that occurred before I bought the phone on ebay.
When I got the phone I think it was on the latest RUU and stock ICS rom.
I've flashed a lot of roms however I almost never took out the mini SD card, and since I have taken it out before several roms ago I've noticed this problem: I can't save screenshots or cam shots unless I have the external mini SD in!
If it matters I'm on 4.2.1/wildstang kernal 3.0.16
You need to change where the camera stores pictures. The setting should be in the camera app.
But, storing pictures on the internal memory can be risky. Flashing can wipe your memory.
yeah just change where the camera stores pictures, it should be on the camera settings
i don't see where this location setting is. This also doesn't solve my problem: I can't function without having a mini SD card in the phone at all times? Seriously? What if I downloaded an app?
I'm gonna try a few tests actually and see what happens.
Well your OP just mentioned pictures and screenshots.
Please tell us the ROM you are running.

What exactly is your issue.
What if you downloaded an app? What does that mean? It would go to your internal SD, mine don't go on my external when downloaded. Aren't you trying to use the phone without an external SD?
Why would you not have an sd card anyway? If you're running any AOSP based rom, it becomes the default storage.
You can swap the storage around in /etc/vold.fstab so that the internal storage is marked /sdcard if you're using an AOSP rom.
i flashed my a13 tablet t730 mainboard all things goes right but i can't take a photo with the camera it said your sd card is full???
any help or idea
What did you flash?
Sorry, have to ask... IS the SD card full?
Does your camera app have Settings to change storage options?
Did whatever you flash edit the mounting of internal / external storage?
the sd is not full
the camera hasn't any option for storage
and i didn't edit any thing when i flash it it's an .img by livsuite
Odd. Haven't seen a device that wouldn't let you save pictures to external, if it supports them. Have you tried another camera app to see if it is the app or it's something odd with the rom? Also, clear the data and cache of the Camera and Gallery apps in Settings > Applications > All and see if that makes any difference.
i did all the things u told and more ...the thing is that this rom is not the orginal one my tablet is 8g and when i flash this rom via livsuite i checked my internal storage it's only 4g is there away that i can manag the internal storage??
Depends on the device and what you put on it, but might make more sense to use another rom or the original one because most likely all the issues are linked.
Ok haven't rooted this phone because I'm happy with stock Android 5(GPe) here.
Was looking at a friends phone HTC One and it has the option to store pictures to the SD card slot
I remember seeing that with 4.4 and later we were supposed to get back the storage capabilities for selecting SD cards.
Can't find this option and the searches I've done keep showing Samsung which I've moved away from(Love this phone).
Auto backup is on so i'm covered there but my internal memory is getting lower and I've got a lot of space left on my 64gb SD card.
So I must be slow because I can't find where I turn this feature on, or do I need to download a custom camera app to get this to work?
Thanks for the help.

On regular Sony Lollipop Rom there is the option to set default storage. If it isn't available on GPe you should at least have the option in settings-storage to transfer data from internal to external.
unfortunately neither one of those options exist in the GPe version.
Looking for ideas since I've got 45gb left on my SD card but just over 1.5 gb on my phone. I thought the save to SD card slot came back in KitKat but I can't seem to move anything to run off the card.
Need a bit of help here, have an mtk6572 no mark phone on 4.2, works perfectly. Changed rom to an also 4.2 which runs a lot quicker and is themed etc...
All is good except the sd card, android system sees it, root explorer sees it, gallery sees it, gramaphone sees it but...
camera doesnt, osmand maps doesnt, browser doesnt, swiftkey doesnt etc. CWM and windows see it and can format it so have done that in fat/fat32/ntfs as well as mounting before booting but still the same thing happens. Restore my old backup and all is back to normal. Have checked the new rom updater-script and I have the mounts correct number wise, same as the working rom and now I'm all out of ideas
Any ideas guys?
Thanks.
Can upload both the old (working) updater-script and the new (non-working) one if someone can have a look over and see if I have made a mistake?
The vold.fstab was probably changed to swap internal and external storage. Some apps work with it, some don't. I'd check the post where you got the rom for and see if that is one of the features.

It doesnt mention that, and its quite an old post which seems a bit dead
Is there anything I can do to solve this on my own, as such?

Righto, I switched the sdcard0 and 1 around in the vold file and it switched them around, larger internal from the sd and the old internal as sd, so I had a 2gb 'sd card' as was expected but still..... all apps were asking for an sd card as it was before
I've uploaded the two updater scripts incase anyone can give me a hand with them, see the massive mistake I cant for example...
Could it be the nonworkingrom seems to not mount data?
Thanks anyway.
