Camera stops working after adopting sd card - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After I updated to Android 6 and adopted the external sdcard, the camera apps gives an error as follows:
Memory Error
Memory not avaiable
Even if i try to change the storage, only internal is enabled.
Before the adoption the camera works fine.
Any ideas ?

Hellou there, In my case:
[ROM][PRE-ROOTED] Xperia Z2 D6503 CUSTOM MENA Arabic - 23.5.A.0.575_R5D
camera worked on superior auto wit my 64 Gb card (8gb free) for let say... 20 shots ...
then it stated no memory or space left and switched to internal.
even if i switchet back camera worked fine for couple of shots then switched to internal.
i did NOT temper with my Sd Card
I curently switched back to cm 12.1
greetings

Thanks, but at least for my case I found a solution.
The problem's cause is because the internal memory is read-only.
So I reformated my card as mixed, so the camera app was able to find an writeable place.

[Q] Froyo App2sd not reliable?

Hey!
I had some apps moved to the internal storage using the stock app2sd feature of Froyo... only to discover that some of them got lost after one or more reboots.
Data is still there but the apps are not installed anymore. Only way to recover them is to reinstall them from the market.
Anybody else facing this issue?
Cheers,
Kashban
for move the apk on internal memory
see applications
not all applications will be moved

Not sure it is the firmware problem or froyo problem.

I don't have these problems on A70, running 2.0.54.
But I don't have a ton of apps
Also, I've managed to fix WiFi problem on encrypted network.
Switch to AES (from TKIP), WPA2-PSK, channel 1, fixed IP (before was assigned via DHCP).
am I doing something wrong cause when I seem to use app2sd to move to internal storage it moves to the 8GB storage and not the 32 GB microSD card I have installed. what am I doing wrong?
I also had the problem with apps having issues, but I uninstalled app2sd and reinstalled and it seemed to fix the issue (the manual update cratered)
You are doing nothing wrong.
App2SD as Archos hasimplemented it uses the internal SD.
You can't change this.

so then the microsd card is just for my music and movie files?
can I even save ebooks(kindle, nook,google, aldilko) to the card or is that also just limited to the internal storage?
That up to that Software, not up to Archos or Android.

You cannot save to your SDCard. These apps work with "sdcard" which is the name for internal memory. The actual sdcard is sdcard\sdcard
What I do is keep all the epubs on the internal memory and all the pdf books on my 32GB sdcard. That works for me.
You seem to be working with / for Archos, may I ask you a few questions:
1) Will the next firmware offer the option to hide the soft buttons menu bar?
2) Is it possible to 'resize' the system (app) storage? Archos has 256MB RAM and 299MB of app storage. The Galaxy S, i saw, has 1.7GB app storage. Surely it does not have 1.7GB RAM.
Thanks

Can't do squat w/out SD card inserted!

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.

[Q] help with camera problem!!!

Hello all, i have a small (big) problem with my camera on my phone (S2 obviously) but what happens is when i go to use the camera it says "your SD card is running out of space. Change quality setting or delete some images or other files." but it is storing on the SD card (obviously) which has about 15GB left and has never had any problems, and i don't think it is the rom as it does it with all of the JB roms i have tried. i have no idea why it is doing this but if anyone does could you please help. Many thanks in advanced. Yours MBrown

Is it trying to store it on the internal SD card? I think your ROM might be bad, what ROM are you using?
There is not enough infomation in there.

Sdcard ERROR on Marshmallow Rom

SD Card if fully functional but its name is displayed as 7BDE-3B10 while on Marshmallow Rom. Till date tried formatting SD Card and also switching roms! Nothing seems to work for me. Would be glad if anyone could help me out with this small error. Due to this I cannot save pics and videos from Camera app to sd card due to the app incapable of detecting my sd card due to this name error! Thanks in advance!

Thank You CYANO11, that was informative but my problem is that i can't make my Sdcard as internal as it says my Sdcard is slow(Class 4) and now I'm using it as External Storage and this issue bothers me because my camera app isn't able to detect it as "Sdcard" as it is shown as Separate directory named "7BDE-3B10" whereas it should have been Under the Sdcard Directory! I just want to get the name corrected as either formatting or flashing roms again isn't helping me
Hope someone who has faced such a problem helps me....and thanks in advance :angel:
That's not an error. It's supposed to be that way in MM.
Stock camera app won't write to sdcard anyway, so I'm assuming you're using third party camera app.
In that case check if it has permission to write to external storage.
This might clear your confusion : Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Cannot write to SD Card

Adoptive storage on Marshmallow

Hello, as can be seen for the numerous threads, marshmallow has been released for the M4 aqua. To many peoples disappointment the update did not contain adoptive storage. I have found a method on MoDaCo which details how to do this on the galaxy S7 and S7 edge (Source http://www.modaco.com/news/android/...e-adoptable-storage-on-your-s7-s7-edge-r1632/) and i have found out this works on some marshmallow phones. I have had success with this on my dad's LG K8 and my own M4 Aqua. Here I will go through the main steps but also look through the post on MoDaCo.
Requirement:
M4 Aqua with Marshmallow firmware (Tested on E2303 but have heard of success on others) with USB debugging enabled
SD Card (High speed recommended if going to be used for apps since if on slower SD's can be known to crash and run slowly)
I RECOMMEND USING A 16GB ON 50/50 LOOK IN ADVICE
ADB tools
DISCLAIMER - I take no responsibility for any problems with SD card not functioning properly or loss of data after doing this tutorial, I did not come up with this workaround and everyone should check the linked post to MoCaDo to see what the person thinks since I'm just going through the tutorial as well and thought I should let the community know
1. Back up any important files on your SD Card since they will be formatted and re-partitioned.
2. Enable developer settings and turn on Debug over USB
3. Set up your ADB tools on the PC side and open a command window in the adb file.
4. Type "adb devices" and confirm your phone is connected and is recognised in the program
5. Now type "adb shell" and then "sm list-disks" Now it will tell you the ID for your SD connected in your phone. This will look like "disk:179,130" This number could be bigger or smaller but will be two sets of numbers separated by either a comma or a colon
6. Now it's time to partition the disk. This can be configured in a number of ways.
Apply the comand you want replacing diskid with the number shown in the part above, including the comma or colon
-If you want your USB to be fully adopted type "sm partition disk:diskid private" ( I've heard some issues about this way) Have heard this doesn't work well so not recommended
-If you want partially adopted type "sm partition disk:diskid mixed 50" This splits the USB 50/50 If you want more adopted storage, decrease the number. ( Seems to work best as 50/50) The number is the percentage that is not Adoptive so for 30% adoptive you would put 70
-If you want to reformat the card to be non adopted type "sm partition disk:diskid public"
Do not just reformat the card on the phone software if you want to make it back into standard storage. I have had problems doing this since it said in the post it was fine but did not work for me.
If you go onto the phone, you'll now see your new adopted storage. As the method is not the proper way to do it, The total space and available space and space used may look a bit weird with outrageous numbers.
Advice:
- I was having some problems before after flashing the update myself. I ended up having to format my card on my PC and repairing the phone through companion and it seems to be working much better.
- Also I don't know if this really matters but i first installed all the updates for the sony stock stuff before partitioning the SD card.
After following these extra steps i've installed a ton of apps with no warning about low storage.
-Don't allocate more than 8GB to adoptive storage since it doesn't seem to really work well. This may be because there is a 16 GB version of the M4 so just thinks that is just normal storage. I tried this with a 32GB on 50/50 and this totally mucked up. So I recommend using 16 GB on 50/50
Edit: Now looking at my storage, the numbers for the storage don't seem outrageous and seem like they could be accurate.

It may be because it is looking for an Sd on standard mode but cannot. I think the best way to go while doing this is going mixed 50/50 or 75/50. For me, Spotify didn't see the adoptive partition so I could't save my music to it, i had to save it to my SD that wasn't adoptive

Done the mixed one (20/80), now camera works fine. It's the best solution.
One problem
Hi, I used this method and all good. But just let me go applications that previously could partially move, only now fully. Other applications no. I have mixed 50/50. Any solution? Sorry for my english, thanks!

I think that only apps that can move to sd card can be moved to the adoptive partition
Hey there,
tried the method as well, but I got a weird problem. The device storage is negative and given in "B" i.e. "-15045169152,00 B". The cards and storage below are shown properly. I live in Germany and got the Update via PC Companion. I retried the procedure with a fomated sd card with equal results.
Can someone tell me how the phone should behave during typing the commands in adb (I use minimal adb 1.4). Does it restart on its own? (Should it have been done in fastboot?!)
Best,
Fabian
50/50 is working good for me! Good job

Thanks for the quick reply! But that is more than a weird number right? Not even in GB. Should it restart automatically after the partitioning?
Edit: I got the 85% storage message also after installing a few apps...

It didn't restart for me. I find it weird why you are getting low storage... How did you partition the card?
Edit: I have 74 apps from the play store including the sony apps and I'm still fine for storage

I used the mixed 50 routine. Its a 64GB Samsung Pro. Which adb tool did you use? Perhaps there are differences?
Should i buy UHS-3 Class 10 card or what is the optimal card speed for this ?

I would recommend a high speed SD Card. My dad is using a slower normal SD card and it doesn't seem to work very well, apps are slow and crash.

But, these high speed cards are for video recording in 4K etc.. can card reader in this phone use full potential of high speed cards or its not restricted ?

I wouldn't go that far. I'm using a sandisk ultra 16GB which is a cat 10. I think they should be sufficient. any card that says microsd HC or something like that should be fine
Edit: This motorola page is really good to look at https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/109134/p/1449,9582
so I want to share my experience with you guys, I partitioned my sd card like this: %60 SD card, %40 adoptive storage. I have a sd card with 95r/90w speeds and when I installed A1 SD bench in my internal storage, it shows these results: (accurate with reboot)
both SD and adoptive storage: read 40, write 45 MBs
internal: read 100, write 20-25 MBs
I would say app opening speeds are normal and apps don't crash. I can't move all apps to adoptive storage, so that's a bummer
I am currently waiting for someone to find a way to root so that I can keep using link2sd as usual
