Even with the option selected in the 4.2.2 stock firmware, the camera app still saves all images to the internal storage. Anyone else having this issue or know of a fix?
I've just made a test - I've opened camera and under settings/data storage chose sd card. I took picture and it is saved to sd card. I have ZL6503, German ones, 4.2.2, and stock firmware.

Thanks. I guess I'll reflash the update, I'm on 6502, I got sick of trying to tinker and loaded AOKP and Free Xperia, NFC is broken now, so I guess back to stock is the fix anyways.

My wife and I have Droid Incredibles. Mine is taking really good pictures and hers is taking really bad pictures. It's not operator error as I use her phone and get the same results. Plus they didn't use to be so bad.
I've tried cleaning the camera lens and I've tried using different camera apps and get the same results.
Her phone does have some SD card issues as the pictures will disappear from the stock gallery app. QuickPic can find them though.
The main difference between her phone and mine is the rom. She's stock and I'm rooted with a custom ROM.
Can a bad SD card cause fuzzy pictures? Or can a new ROM make the camera work dramatically better?

I'd say probably the rom. the issues in the gallery is probably a cache issue with the rom as well
Have you tried using her sd card in your phone to see if that happens to you? If its not writing to the memory properly then the issue would happen on your phone as well with her sd card.
Try copying the contents of the sd card onto a computer then reformat the sd card to FAT32. If it still fails then I'd go ahead with Shano's steps above. I'm not sure it would resolve anything though.

Yeah try swapping the SDs see if that makes a difference. I've never heard of something like that with an SD card, but it is possible theres something on it thats corrupt which cause gallery not to want to show your pictures. A format like SlimSnoop suggested is a little safer than rooting and installing a custom rom, so I would do that too. And make sure to only copy the files back on the sd card that you use, to insure you don't copy something corrupt
Thanks all. I'll try the SD card and see what happens.
Since her rom is official, I'd hate to think it's screwed up. But if all else fails, I'll put CM7 on her phone.

heh just cuz its stock doesnt mean its not buggy. I had an issue on stock where i couldn't see app updates in the market until i manually cleared cache, not to mention a bunch of other issues
hey guys i have the custom rom paranoid android for my device but there seems to b a bug and i want to fix it but idk how some apps cant pick up my exsdcard for example the camera app saves pictures to internal and apollo and google play doesn't search my music and its bugging me there was an update in which i tought it will fix the problem but no its still there how can i fix this help me plzzzzzz. i have use media rescaner and all those apps one that worked for me was ics binder but my phone ran out of batery and when i rebooted the problem started happening again please help me.
I'm having the same problem as can't save camera photos to the external SD card. There is a setting in the camera app that says "store" not sure what it means but it doesn't seem to change anything.
One other thing I would like to confirm is under system settings is the "storage" setting in the prior ICS version you could format the external SD Card. Here format SD Card formats the internal SD Card. Can you format the external SD Card from settings? Not what I was expecting, guess that's why I backed everything up.
I'm running Paranoid 4.1.2 and it is fantastic and fast. I was on ICS previously and had these settings before.
Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but either way Paranoid is awesome!
Thanks for your advice.
Save camera pics to external Sd card
I guess tagging onto 2 week old thread with no responses was not the best idea
Looks like saving camera pics to external sd card is not an option. I even downloaded
Camera from ver. 4.2, same thing. Only solution I can make work is use a different camera app
than google's.
Still not sure why 4.1.2 does not have an option to format the external sd card just the internal.
Still like Paranoid, seems very stable.
I've been struggling to find a fully working rom for the HTC One V, it's been frustrating. I can find one that has nearly everything working but 1 thing (like the camera or something) Installed both CM9 and CM10 and both work great and are really fast EXCEPT for one big issue that affects a few things.
Most of the apps can't see the external SD card. The camera tells me to insert an SD card before taking pictures and USB storage just doesn't work unless I unmount the SD card, which doesn't always work.
Anyone else had this issue? Is there a fix? It makes the camera unusable
Have you tried backing up the data on the SD and doing a wipe? Sometimes doing an SD wipe on the phone itself helps

Same with me - m on galaxy grand.. Any fixes ?
Same here
I have the same problem. I just rooted my phone and installed the latest RC version of cyanogenmod. However in the file manager I can see my SD card and look at whats on it but no apps realises that there actually is an SD card. Like described above I can't take any photos, watch pictures from the SD card, or do anything because the rom only states "no storage available". Very weird. I have tried mount the SD card, formatting the SD card, reboot the phone but nothing works! Help anyone?
Hi everyone. I've been dealing with this for a few days now and I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. I'm currently running Wicked S5 Xperience with PhilZ recovery and CWM bootloader. My permissions file is written appropriately to allow apps to write to the external SD, and I manually went into ES File Explorer and changed the permissions appropriately. I'll take a picture, it saves to my external. Ill create a folder on external and it sticks. When I reboot, the folder is gone and the pictures disappear. I've also deleted pictures from the external, and upon reboot they come back. I've unmounted the external when flashing the ROM. I've formatted my internal SD. I've flashed the permissions file, tried Play Store apps, and manually editing the permissions.xml. I can't, for the life of me, figure out why this is happening. It's like my phone is forgetting what happened on the external when I reboot...
Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Has this happened with other ROMs as well? Like Wicked X or Tribute? Have you flashed any AOSP ROMs lately? Have you tried another external SD card to see if it may be a bad card?
Well I was on Pac which was AOSP and the permission changes didn't make ANY affect at all. ES was saying I didn't have any write permissions on the external no matter what I did. Stock rooted does the same thing as S5 Xperience, even though I'm using the "allowed" Samsung file explorer.
The card worked in the past, it's loaded with pictures and documents. It's a 64 GB SanDisk high capacity... Or whatever it's called... Its been forever since I looked at the card.
I was originally trying to put Wicked X and I got stuck in a boot loop while trying to install the Xposed framework, and the zip deleted itself from my internal storage. I thought I had downloaded S5 Xperience so I downloaded that. Everything installed fine. I'll download X and see of that changes anything, but each time I formatted and reflashed S5 Xperience I've been having the same issue. The users in the S5 Xperience thread gave me some suggestions, but they haven't worked so far.
If you're sure the SD Card itself is good, all I can recomend is odin back to 100% stock then see if the problem persists.

I'm going to reformat the card first before going back to complete stock. I'm sure it has something to do with the way I rooted or something.
It's the card... Its bad. It's not old enough, though, which upsets me...
Hi. Some of my photos in gallery are corrupted, it's not with all of it but only with few. Problem started when i unlocked bootloader and installed WOLLA rom. Firstly, i cannot connect with mobile data, it won't working, then photos started to crash in gallery. I've tried to do all of possible wipes and instal WOLLA again and it helped for some time. Then after a few weeks of usage my photos are corrupted again. Mobile data and everything work well. When i take photo and check immediately in gallery it seems to be okay. But after a few hours when i come back to gallery some of my photos are seen as corrupted. What can be a problem here? I'm sure it's not an SD card because i've bought a new one few weeks ago Kingston SDHC 32GB UHS-I U3 . My firmware is 6.14.69.4 and WOLLA base firmware is 6.12.401.4, can it cause this problem? Thanks for any help guys
There's a screenshots in attachments

SD can go bad at any time. True that a newer one is less likely to fail, but not impossible.
Try formatting the SD card (of course copy photos you want to keep somewhere else like PC, before you format), and see if that helps (or try a different SD). Maybe the problem is something else, but the SD is a easy place to start troubleshooting (and at least eliminate it as the cause).
I assume you are using the SD card as the location for saving photos on the camera app?
Yep, my photos are saving on sd card now, but this problem was when my photos saving to internal storage too so i think sd card cannot be a problem here :/

I've got the same issue. After installing official Lineage OS 14.1 I started to have corrupted photos in the gallery. I'd say it's a gallery app problem, because when you take a new photo and then go from camera app to gallery app, earlier taken pictures, which in gallery app were corrupted, in the camera app are being shown correctly.
Have you managed to solve the problem @sonderling ?

In my case it was a issue with sd card. After reinstalling my Rom and replacing my sd card with a new one the problem was solved.
