Can't save camera photos to SD Card - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have a Galaxy S3 international (GT-i9300) running CM13.0-20151227 Nightly. The SD card was configured as internal memory and many of the phone apps were crashing. I have now re-formatted the SD card as portable. Crashing problems have gone away but i cant get the camera app to save photos to SD card. There appears to be no option for this.
Any suggestions please.
Thanks in advance

Maybe try relfashing CM?

ok thanks

[Q] Not enough memory, what can i do?

Hello there guys,
i tried to install some apps but i could not, the phone show insufficient memory.
So i opened aplications-manage applications and unsuccessfully tried to move the apps to SD CARD (which i believe is the internal storage of phone, i don't have SD Card). I was surprised with this because there is plenty of space available. any idea what can i do? i cant install apps and neither transfer them to SD.
THanks.
Hey, hmm yeah i can see how that would be an issue. lol
But the SD card referees to an external memory card not your internal memory.
You can install a micro sd card (up to 32GB) into your samsung galaxy s2 through the back. You'll have to open up the back cover

EVO 3D App2sd and sd card

Hello!
I received my new phone(EVO 3d) and I just love this phone. Taking photos has never been better .
But to the point, I have a problem with app2sd and with sd card itself. When I moved apps to sd and in some time, those apps I moved didn't show anymore. I check in application tab and there they were but without icon of app just black img with android symbol and sd card next to it. How to solve this?
Another problem is with SD card. I bought gameloft games(Amazing spiderman) and it has 1.2gb download files. But phone got only 1gb primary storage. So I downloaded sd files over internet and moved on sd card and game launch without problem? How to does sd card works with this phone? I see when I connect my phone to computer there is only 1 disk for everything(with sd and internal). I had samsung galaxy s before so its a lot differend, because sgs had 5gb internal + 1gb storage + 16gb sd.
Hope someone can help
Cheers
The missing icon on app is something that was fixed with one of the Gingerbread updates about nine months ago. What ROM are you running?
When I connect my phone to my computer, it shows the full amount of my sd card as a drive. I do not even see the internal memory.
I have using stock 4.0.2 OTA since I got this phone 4 days didn't root yet cuzz this s-off etc. is kinda annoying to do(for now ).
However I fixed the problem. I was searching on google and someone mentioned that app2sd makes a folder on sd that you shouldn't delete! I did delete cuzz I needed space for downloading movie. So if anyone got this problem, dont delete folders in sd.
Cheers

[Q] Help managing your storage!

Hi guys!
I have a bit of a problem with my S2 storage. I'm running cyanogenmod. So I wanted to ask you guys how could I best manage all my apps/pics/videos/backups etc.
My current status:
System ROM 528MB, 149MB free
Internal 2.11GB, 637MB free
SD Card 12.3GB, 1.35GB free
Ext. SD Card: 31.9GB, 29.1GB free.
So you see here my problem...I have this huge 32GB SD card that is mostly empty, while all my installed apps go either to the 600MB of internal data partition or to the internal memory. Either way, I barely have 2GB available for data, and a huge partition that now I can't even take for the camera (CM will only save to internal DCIM folder).
Titanium Backup allows to move the data folder anywhere, so it's into the big SD card.
ScummVM allows to save the ROMs anywhere, so also these ones are in the SD card.
Movies/Videos I download are in the SD card.
...And that's it. Whenever I take pictures, I need to remember to move the files manually to the external SD, because the camera app will only save them in the internal memory. What can I do? How can I improve this?
THanks a lot!
Up!
A camera app such as Camera Zoom Fx available on play, will allow you to specify where your pictures are saved.
Also, I am running the latest NEATROM lite based on the JB leak and the stock camera allows you to choose between internal and sd card as storage. This may not be the case on older versions of the stock camera.
Hope this helps with the picture issue at least!

Yeah, thanks. All the Samsung stock cameras allow saving into the SD card. The AOSP one, however, doesn't. Still don't quite understand it.
Anyway, besides the camera, would there be a way to move installed apps (or its data) to the SD card?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have never done this with GS2 but on HD2 we could create a sdext partition on external sd. This partition would then be used by system to extend internal storage. I think this can be done on GS2 via cwm by partitioning sdcard. You would need to backup your data from external card first though before partitioning.
There is also Apps2SD on google play which will move installed apps to ext card.
Yeah, that's it! I did something like this on my Nexus One on its day. It wasn't perfect but it was good. I'll look into this. Thanks!

Can't Move Apps to SD Card - CM11

Hello - I'm running out of internal space and trying to move apps to my SD card, but I keep getting the "Couldn't move app" error. I haven't had any issues with past versions of CM when moving apps, so I'm not sure if it's KK-related (I know there were security changes with KK) or if it's my SD card. My card is a 16 GB SanDisk, class 4, and is only a few months old. If I do a move in TiBu, it initially shows the app as moved but it shows as internal storage again on reboot. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated - thanks for the help!
yo apparently kitkat doesn't really like lower than class 6 SD cards as far as moving things to the sd card. i had this same issue on kk. you're going to have to just get a new card or deal with not moving anything to the sd. sorry bro but google's oppressing us. SINGLE CORE PHONES ARE DED1111
That's what I figured - just another case of the man holding us down. Thanks for the reply!
Hi, I'm also having trouble moving apps to the SD card with CM11. Problem is, I have a class 10 32gb microSD card, so the change card solution isn't applicable. I have plenty of space on the card. Any ideas?

[Q] Issue with 64GB SD card in Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500

Hello
I own Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 and it is rooted. I recently purchased a class 10 Sandisk Micro SD card with 64 GB capacity. I was very happy that I did but my happiness did not last long when I have come to know that 3rd party apps do not have write permission in Kitkat. After some research I was successful to make the SD card writable to 3rd party apps by modifying the permissions.xml file.
Everything seems to be fine at this time but it was not actually. The SD card when seen under storage in settings would show me that it is mounted with 62.5 GB capacity and 60 GB free. But when I try to browse the files in SD card, there are nothing. Apps saved in SD card do not open and I am also unable to capture images from camera to SD card storage.
I thought may be unmounting the SD card and mounting it back would work and it worked but after a while the same problem. My device shows that it has mounted an SD card but cannot access anything saved in it. So, I have to unmount and mount SD card every time and this is very much annoying.
Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks you for your time.
