Hello, it seems that all the photos and videos taken by the default camera app are saved to the internal memory. How do I set the save directory to sdcard? Thanks.
Go in the cam settings and select sd card ?

Thanks but the Storage option is dimmed and defaulted to Device. I am using 4.3 without root.

In your camera settings there is an option where to save pictures and videos. The settings is called Data Storage and allows you to pick internal storage or SD card.
Now will that set the settings to save all pics videos to sd. The only other way is by computer or root. And I dont want to root yet till we get custom roms or are able to unroot The ion l. Cause Tue probpem im hqving is if someone sends me a photoe or video it wants to send it to internal and not give me an option for sd card.

No that setting will only store photos or videos you take to where ever you set it to. I don't think there is a way currently to have any pictures or videos sent to you to store on the SD card.
I was just wondering about sd card storage. The sd is actually "ext_card" right? I tried changing the xda app's download path to: "mnt/ext_card/xda_ download" but it still saves to "mnt/sdcard/xda_ download".
Would xda need to be running from the sd card to save to it?

You can use ES File Explorer to move them on your device.

To change your default storage for your pictures you need to go into the settings portion of your camera app and change from phone to memory card.

If you are just clearing items from the internal SD and not from any system locations then you should be fine. Everything on internal SD is just extra storage for you and your apps. You may lose saves and settings if you were to just clear the whole thing. I would suggest going through and deleting the largest items or moving them to external SD. Use Disk Usage app to view the largest items and see what needs to be moved. Use GL to SD to move large games to the external SD but do note that you MUST launch them from GL to SD if you do this. GL to SD does require root. Also, I would advise deleting pictures and video if you use your camera a lot. Back them up first of course. If you have Google+ installed with it set to auto upload your photos and videos, this won't be a problem.

So i have tmobile samsung note 2 I recently updated to 4.3 and have a few questions.
When it was running 4.1.2 I was able to set the camera storage to external, after the update it automatically reverts back to
Internal storage. Anyone know how I can fix this?
Also in gallery when I try to move the photos to external it says "it cannot move because it exist already" even though does not. Help?
Thanks all

Anyone?
I believe there is a xposed mod, although I don't use them, that allows you to save to the sd. Also the Lenovo super camera allows

So when I go into the storage on my phone it says 4.5gb of pictures on the internal storage but I have a 64gb memory card and save them to the card. I know some programs like IG and fb will default to internal and I see those folders when I go to ES file explorer.
My problem is that there are only a handful of such photos and I can't figure out where these so called 4.5gb of photos are? Are they in a hidden directory or something? I'd like to clear up some of the storage on the phone as it tells me there's only 500mb available

Connect your phone to the pc and go into your internal storage and move content to a folder on your pc or the ext SD card.
It's faster and neater.
