Stock camera stop working after adopting SD card - Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers

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

Camera Not Recognising Free Space on SD Card

OK, here is my Dilema.
I have a 8GB memory card with 4GB free space and the default destination to store pictures on my phone is the Storage Card. But for some reason, the Camera App only lets me take a maximum of 13 pictures, Video only 2 minutes, and then it displays out of memory.
I have copied off everything and Formatted the SD Card, and it still displays the same thing.
But if I switch storage to Main Memory, it says 156 pictures can be taken, and yet it only has like 145MB left there. And the size of the pictures are 745KB at most so far.
Any help here would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Bump for this.....i ran into the same issue. Does anyone else have this problem or perhaps some sort of solution for this?
is there a registry setting that locks how much of the memory can be used for pictures?

[Q] Unable to capture photo

Hi really need help on this one, i was having problem with the sd card and was unable to capture photo or video unless i used the phone memory to save, so browsed and found a thread saying to delete the DCIM folder which allowed me to actually take pictures and record but doesnt save to phone or storage card
I seem to solve 1 problem then another pops up please help as i got this phone for the quality of photos and video it gives you.
format the sd card and ensure you are saving to it and not the phone
Hi
Start up the camera, go to settings on the camera start up screen. (Thats the one that looks like a small gear wheel/Cog.(Touch it) It will now show the menu. at the bottom left you should see a storage icon that looks like a sd card. If its showing a phone, then touch it until it changes to the sd card. Now all your photos will go to the sd card.

ive done all the things mentioned, when i use the phone storage it works fine then when i switch to storage card the camera and video dont work i just get a message saying unable to capture photo or video. could it be the sd card thats at fault.
Use the attached tool to check for corrupt cards. Just unzip to your desktop and read the readme file

[Q] Internal memory partly unavailable, how come?

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!

Missing Camera Pictures from Gallery or SD Card after taking them..WTF!!!

I took some pictures with my LG V10 over the last 24 hours to test the camera out. I am able to preview the picture once it has been taken. Today I went to show some friends the pics I took and they are showing as either unsupported or they are not listed in the Camera or DCIM folder using ES File Explorer. I went checked my Google Photos and the pictures are there and they are showing fine.
I decided to take another picture a minute ago and check my LG Gallery on my V10 and the pic was there briefly and then it disappeared but it appeared in my Google Photos gallery. I have a 128GB micro SD card that has 125GB of free space so I know it is not a space issue.
I have reformatted the Micro SD card and the photos are either showing up as an unsupported format or it is missing. I just took a picture and saved it to the V10 and not the SD card and the pictures are still in my Gallery. My mind is blown right now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is anyone else having the same issue or is it just me?
Exactly the same thing here.
I have had my LGv10 for about 5 days now. I absolutely love it. But some pictures I took that I was rather proud of are nowhere to be found in the Galllery app. Fortunately, I shared them on Facebook, where I was able to download them.
I have reformatted the Micro SD card and the photos are either showing up as an unsupported format or it is missing. I just took a picture and saved it to the V10 and not the SD card and the pictures are still in my Gallery. My mind is blown right now.

Not mindblowing at all. You have a defective microSD card. Replace it.
I have had the same problems with no sdcard installed.
I do not use a Micro SD in my V10 and I have this issue. I'll take a picture with the back camera, it will appear in the preview circle in the bottom right corner, then in a split second dissappear. I do not have this issue with pictures from my front camera.
Ive never experienced this....by chance has anyone clicked on the menu in the gallery to show locked files? Maybe somehow they were locked after taking the photo? This is the only thing i can think of. Hope it helps any
Also check google picture settings. There is one that will "free" up phone space after it has backup the picture to google.
I found same issue on my V10 and found they were saving to my Verizon media and update of the app made all photos go there in my internal storage.

Gallery showing suddenly only black pictures

As the title already said, on the gallery app of my Tab S7plus all the pictures are black...
It only concerns the camera pictures. I did share a few of these with my phone and they do arrive black on the phone.
I removed the camera and gallery updates. Did restarted the tablet without luck.
I have 239 black camera pictures out a total of nearly 17000 other pictures so only 239 are affected.
New pictures taken by the camera appear normal.
The camera pictures are stored on my micro SD card along with the others.
All data on the micro SD card is intact, so its really only the camera folder which seems affected.
I did found some hits on google about a similar issue on the note 5...but the suggested tips are not helping me.
Perhaps the SD memory controller is too slow or a lot of memory cells are already used up and data writing does not finish properly.
I advise you to replace the SD memory or use DCIM in internal storage.
This happened to me, the cards curropted.
If the SD card is corrupted it is only limited to the camera folder while the other pictures and files on that SD card are still ok. 72.4GB used out of 256GB.
To me it seems that the camera app messed with the pictures in that folder and whatever it was it seems fine now as new pictures taken with the camera are showing correctly in the camera folder.
I already accepted that I lost these 239 pictures in that folder.
I do will make a backup from this SD card in case it fails...
