Does anyone know how or is there an app that saves your photos directly to the storage card instead of the phone itself? I used to have it set up this way but I forgot where I got it or how I did it. Thanks
its under the camera settings menu in the camera app...
I have pictures that I deleted from my computer but somehow synced with my evo. They only show up in the second gallery application that comes stock on the phone. When highlighting both the whole album and individual pictures in the album there is no option to delete. All other albums have a picture of a folder except this album which has a sync icon. I reformatted my SD card and they were still there. I did a factory reset on the phone and they went away but came back. I put a new SD card in the phone and the pictures are still on the phone which leads me to believe they are saved on the internal memory of the phone. Has anyone experienced an issue similar to this? How do you access the phones internal memory? Any help would be awesome because I am so lost.

I am fuming right now. I lost all my pictures and videos that i have taken. Also most of my sd card that had photos from my evo. Only thing left on sd was a music folder.
Nothing is even in the lost.dir.
The last thing i was doing was sending an email with a few photos. Data got stuck so i did a battery pull and come to this.

Try a PC data recovery software such as Recuva. Do NOT use the phone or SD card until you do.
just tried 2 programs on the internal memory. Not a single trace, Even 0 byte files. Its as if the chip was just made.
I called sprint and having them once again send another replacement just incase. this will be ET number 3. how many more times do i need to replace it before the restocking fee is waived, lol.
Does anyone have any ideas how to recover my info. Has to be something i am missing
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!!
[Q] Note 4 Gallery Failure to update
So, how often does the gallery ap, or whatever cache it uses updating for new files?
I download a picture, and it refuses to show up until after I restart the phone.
Ideas?
So. Anyone? Repro:
Download image from external source. Web or Dropbox.
go to gallery app. Notice download gallery is not updated.
have to restart to get it to show up.
Can anyone even repro this? Hello?
SD card speeds?
Hello,
I would start by formatting your SD card and putting your pics back on the SD card. If you dont have a class 10 SD card then the gallery can be a pain.
I use a Samsung 64gb Pro MicroSD and it simply flies. After the first boot up.. never noticed a single refresh. Must have cached all my hundreds of pics as I can
now freely flow though my entire library at full speed with zero redraws. Hope this helps.
PS. Best Buy has the nice 64gb Samsung EVO microSD card on sale for $30 right now. That should be perfect.
That has nothing to do with this. "Havent noticed a refresh". What?
Anyway, the issue is that the gallery is NOT refreshing when new things are written to the card outside of camera photos. So downloaded photos do not show up. It has nothing to do with the SD card.
Thanks.
Good Luck then. Seems you are alone on this. Warranty replace maybe? Factory reset?

Do you have dropbox or picasa Web albums? I know on my phones , the gallery can become unusable because it wants to sync the 9000 pictures I have on drop box, another 6000 or so on picasa and a few thousand from favebook. I have my pictures set to auto upload, so they build up.
Anyway, the gallery automatically I'd set to sync those thumbnails, and the result is that my phone slows to a hault.
Turning off picasa and dropbox to sync in the gallery fixes it every time.
Nope he is not aloe. I have the same issue. And I bet you also have it.
Download a picture from dropbox to SD or externalSD, and try to find it in the gallery. You won't be able to find it because the gallery refresh is slow (or buggy). If you receive files over BT, or snap some pics, they will be instantly available in the gallery. But not downloaded or PC uploaded images.
My solution was to open the image in file exporer. Navigate to where you downloaded it, and open it 1x-2x, then it will show up in the gallery as well. Or another workaround is Quickpic.. It's quite a very awesome app that lets you show/hide different folders (which the default gallery LACKS), even password protect some. The only reason I use the built in gallery is because my display is set to auto adapt and it changes the display to AMODEL picture (but I might change the display to permanent AMOLED picture)..
