Hi,
I noticed the other day that my One X was saving pic's to the phone's memory instead of to the storage memory.
I am new to android but had a look around and couldn't see anything...
Am I just blind?
Thanks for any help

Aren't the pictures saved in DCIM?Because that is on the "SD card" so to say.

i notice that if i have only 1GB left on my storage card ,, my pictures get deleted just like that ,,, i had about 2500 pics and now i have 1400 ,, how can i fix this ,, this is a very very big problem ....
PLEASE HELP !!!
I had a similar problem with pictures disappearing, but it stopped after I removed the 3D Gallery app... Do you have this installed?
I'm not 100% sure about that being the cause, as I did post about this a few days back, but I don't recall anyone else suggesting they had the same problem.
I'd be interested to know if it's relevant to you though.
yes i have gallery 3d ,, ill delete it and see if the problem will come back ,,,,
That's interesting, because although as I said, I'm not 100% sure that was the problem, before removing the 3D Gallery, I restored my missing images and they were gone again within a couple of days.
It was the appearance of duplicate folders within the 3D Gallery app that led me to suspect there was a problem with it. In my case however, with a 32GB card, I had plenty of spare space and don't think I ever got anywhere near just having 1GB free.
I'm surprised more people have not reported this issue, but then it may also depend which version of the app you're using - as there seem to be a number of variants. The other problem of course is that in my case I was just loosing a few images at a time from certain folders, and not all of them, so it's not always immediately obvious that they're gone!
Any news about this issue?
I 'm having this problem too whit my HTC Desire whit Android 2.2 and a SD card 8GB Kingston.
Hi all,
I got the same issue. but I have only about 200 pics on my 8gb sd with more than 4gb of free space ...
I thought I had too many pics in one folder as the more recents pics where always disappearing after a few hours/days.
So i wanted to copy my folder on my computer, and then, SURPRISE : I could copy ALL my pics, even the "lost" ones. It seems that they are not deleted but only hidden in the gallery.
And I don't use gallery 3d.
Hope this helps.
EDIT : it's on a desire Z
Is there .nomedia file on your card?
Are you checking sd-card for any mistakes?
I have some quick point and shoots from my vacation stored on here and I want to put them on my computer. I have a ton of other pictures from customizing my phone on here as well so I really dont want to import pictures since it will be importing over 1000 images when I only need about 100 of them.
I have looked all over the SD card but have not found the gallery of pictures taken with the camera.
Can anyone help me out? I am running ARHD LTE 2.1.2.
Never mind I managed to find it.
This is my first smartphone so sorry for the extremely noobish question.
Anyways, for anyone else who has this embarrassing problem you wont have to worry about posting a question of your own!
Just make sure that you have your phone connected via USB as a camera, not a media device. Then go into Internal Storage < DCIM < Camera and all your pics should be there!
I revelled this when I saw similar amount photos in both internal/external SD cards when browsing the photos in the gallery. I checked the settings of the camera and it is set to external storage (I couldn’t recalled that I have made this change so maybe it is by default).
Checked the time stamp of the photos in both cards and they look being saved to these destination folders randomly. Did anyone encounter the same problem or any suggestion? Thanks.
Hi
Quick question, are the photos listed in the camera folder and the dropbox folder?

The same happens to me, even pictures taken with seconds of difference are stored in different locations/folders. I am using stock camera app and still did not take the time to investigate the reason of this strange behaviour. Will check later.

HI
Are the pictures in two separte folders in the gallery ie camera & dropbox?, or are you looking at them via a folder explorer?

Hi, they are in two folders, one of them called "camera" and located in external Sd and another called "cámara" (camera in spanish) and located in internal Sd.

Single shots are stored on the sd card assuming that's what you configured.
Burst shots are stored on internal memory.
So are you taking single or doing burst?

That sounds the most plausible explanation

Yep that sounds right. Thanks for the answer.
Was looking through my file manager to see what is taking up internal space. Noticed that:
/media/cloudagent/cache/root/
contains my Drop Box images at full resolution.
So now that's not really a "cloud" is it? WTF? Currently occupies 2 gigs of space. I was hoping to store images on DropBox to save space. Not mirror it as a backup.
Or am I doing it wrong somehow?
Thanks.

I have had the same problem.
Do you have Dropbox installed with CAMERA UPLOAD Turn on (in Dropbox settings) and also Pictures and Video Sync enable in Settings->Cloud->Pictures and ->Videos in the phone?
To solve this I have disable Settings->Cloud->Pictures and ->Videos in the phone, this avoid you to have a copy of the pictures you have in Dropbox under the folder "Camera Uploads" in local in your phone in storage/sdcard0/cloudagent/cache/root/Camera Uploads.
I have also left the Dropbox CAMERA UPLOAD Turn on, in this way each time I do a picture it is storage in the external card of the phone (in my case) and it is uploaded to Dropbox but it don't left another copy in storage/sdcard0/cloudagent/cache/root/Camera Uploads
Hope this help you.
If my english is not good enough, I can try to explain it in other manner.
Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note II. I just tried going into my gallery while mounting my phone to save pictures on my laptop. I go into the phone (not SD Card), then "DCIM", and finally "Camera" folder. Now I have two "Camera" folders in my gallery on my phone, one with about 48 images in it and the other with over 1000 photos which is where all my photos are automatically saved to when I take new photos. The folder labeled "Camera" only shows me the 48 photos I don't need, but the one with over 1000 photos is nowhere to be found! All other folders there don't show the photos I'm looking for. What should I do?
I also cannot find the folder called "downloads" that contains all images I saved from text messages people sent me. If you need any other info, please let me know.
Additional information is that in my gallery, there is an icon showing that the photos are being saved to the SD card (the Camera folder) but when I look in the folder in my SD card, it shows the photos I took with my old phone, not the ones I am taking now. The "downloads" folder I'm talking about isn't in the DCIM folder at all, and it doesn't have an SD Card icon on it so it should be in the phone. But the "downloads" folder doesn't show me the images I saved from text messages I received from friends it only shows the images and other things I've downloaded on my browser.
Thanks in advance!
I've resolved the problem, thank you! I was wondering if someone could delete this thread? I am unable to do it myself. Thank you!
