Hey,
for some reason i cant do more pictures.. did about 80.. and it says the storagecard is full
but i only have 2300 of 15132mb used.. wtf?
The pictures are being saved in your internal memory. Change your save location to your external storage card. Go to camera settings and find it because you definitely will find it unless you insist in not looking for the settings.
that is actually the point.
changing to internal memory gives me 451 pictures left.. saving on storage card .. 0
but the pictures i did before are actually saved on the storage card.. if i delete 1 picture .. i can take another one -.-
Did you buy the storage card on eBay?
nope
sandisk 16gb class2 - shown in storage card infos
edit: push!
nobody knows why ?
Hi, i am upgrading my G3 micro SD to a larger size because it is almost full. What is the best way to move the files over from one card to another? Will a straight copy from one card to another work? I would think that would cause issues because the phone has apps stored on the sd card. Also, can you set the contacts app to store to the sd card so when you flash ROMs on the phone you dont loose your contact data? Could you use clockworkmod to backup the old card and restore it to the new card? TIA for any help.

I would be interested on this answer as well, I can tell you that straight copy/parte doesn't work, I got a larger SDcard for my Bday and tried doing it that way, and it didn't work, what I did was to reformat the SDcard and start fresh, (I really didn't have much stuff there yet). would love to know the "right" way to do this when your SDcard is full.
Transfer to computer then transfer to new card?

That's what I did, put the card into my laptop and create a dir to drag and drop the entire contents of the old card into. Then put in the new card and d&d them all to the new card. All done in the three or four mouse clicks.

Well, honestly, i am still getting comfortable with storage in the cloud and i prefer my contacts to be locally for security reasons. I have had my contacts and business data hacked before, my industry is very competitive. I also don't like how one sevice syncs with another service syncs with another service .. next thing you know, your personal data is synced to 10 servers like facebook, linkedin, samsung, google, at&t, ect.... i only want to sync what i want to sync with who i want to sync with and since i don't know how to sync selectively at the moment i am syncing very little. I work in different business worlds that dont mix well... Maybe i am a little paranoid!! Any advice would be appreciated.
You can export your contacts to SD card before you flash. You can import from your SD card after you flash and all is back as it was.
USB storage is internal
SD Card is external
Look under contact/options/Import-export

As said earlier.
For contacts open up contacts click menu, click import/export and export to sd card.
When contacts are on there.. Make a folder on ur desktop and copy all files and folders into there.
Copy all the stuff back over to the new sd card.
Give it some time to re scan etc after u boot your phone..
Then go back to contacts and this time import instead of export.
All of your data/files/pics/everything will be as it was before.

1. When looking at my files on my external SD card, whether from a PC or through a file manager, why does my folders keep getting duplicated? The folders simply duplicate, but only one of them has the actual folders.
2. Why do photos on my external SD card keep duplicating. I might start out with 10 photos, then it could double or triple - and they're copies? (music never duplicates)
3. On my internal SD card, why the hell do I randomly lose photos?
I'm on AOKP by the way.
Such good questions. The issue is that
Anybody?

My wife uses S-Note to capture notes. She just got her phone back from repair and forgot to save her notes, so lost all of them. She wants to avoid this happening again by changing the note storage location to the external SD card - is this possible?
So i have had my sprint galaxy s3 for about 6 months and finally took my 16gb sandisk sd out of my old evo 4g(which has been actively used by my little brother). I put it in my s3 and then formatted the sd card. after the format was done, i moved all of my 175+ photos from the internal memory to the sd card from the phone. it took about 15 minutes. for some reason when I try to view them a a couple minutes later, some of images are black in my photo gallery and my phone is 'unable to open the file.' i slipped the sd card into my usb sd card reader. the message i get when i try to open those photos are 'Photo gallery is unable to open the photo or video. The file may be unsupported, damaged or corrupted.'
now ive tried a couple of 'data recovery' programs to no avail. is there any way that i can get those photos back? freeware would be ideal but if i have to pay, so be it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
