I took a bunch of pictures and videos on my phone and I got a message in the middle of taking a pic saying that my storage space was running out and it would store the rest on the data on my external (32GB). I continued to take photos thinking that they would just save on my external. When I tried to go to the gallery app to see all the pics that I took I got another message saying (something along the lines of) some system functions will not work delete apps and data to free up disk space.
I checked my phone storage and it says I have just over 35 GB of pictures and videos. I'm not sure if that's split between SD card 0 and my external. After I deleted a ton of applications just to free up enough space to open my gallery, I only had 155 pictures and 3-4 videos. I know for a fact that there are a ton more. Are my photos gone forever? Is there any way to recover them?

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

Hi there !
First of all just wanted to say i have a card of 8 gigs of memory on my cell.
And i keep on getting this message when i try to copy files on my cell :
Cannot copy File.txt: There is not enough free disk space.
Delete one or more files to free disk space and then try again.
So i did deleted a lot of file to free up like 400 megs.
Still the same message.
I can't neither take picture or videos cause it gives me the same message !
Any ideas on what is causing this ?

Most likely the not enough memory is due to your RAM, try freeing up RAM memory in your phone. You can do that in Celetask. For pictures and videos, in camera mode, set up your phone to store picture and video onto memroy card instead of phone memory.
Good luck,
Hey,
What would be the easiest way to get rid of FB/Flickr sync ... it appears that FB/Flickr data is stored on internal memory and by my estimates is hogging way too much storage space for no good reason. Contact photos etc should really be saved to SD card ... sigh.
This whole tiny internal memory and inability to store data such as this on SD card is really getting to me. I only have a hand full of apps installed ... according to ASTRO my installed apps add up to around 50Mb and according to SD & Phone Storage I only have 30Mb left ...
Cheers.
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.
Sent from my Evo using XDA App
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!!
