Auto Storing Pics On Ext SD Card? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can the stock G4 camera be set up to automatically save photos and videos to the ext SD card instead of internal memory? I don't see that as an option in the camera app but would love to keep those heavy files on my 128gb card.

Easy. Open camera app, go to settings (cog in top left), underneath the cog there will either be an icon for a phone or an SD card. Chose which one you would like it to store the pictures. Done.

Yeah that's how you do it like the post above. For me it did it automatically when I inserted and booted up phone. Told me if I wanted to switch to sdcard saving or keep it at internal storage.

1. Insert MicroSD card
2. Open Camera app
3. Select "Yes":

I've noticed I cannot delete SD card photos from Google's "Photos" app, since it would be a 3rd party editing the SD card. Any workaround?

TWRP Backup' s folder strucure messed up?

Hello
I just did yesterday my first full Backup with TWRP recovery. I moved (real move, no copy) the Folder from the Telephones External-SD card to my windows 7 PC Folder. 2 Strange Things happen
1. The Folder size of TWRP backup is 32GB which should be impossible due SD Card hat about 22GB Free space after the backup was made and i also stored aditional stuff on the SD card right after that....
2. When i looked into the Moved Folder every File was like 5 times duplicated and also the size matched, and they only were different in file name. See screenshot...
Im trying to restore this backup now. I picked the files without a "(number)" in the filename. I hope it works..
Any Idea how that could happen? (N7100 16gb International, rooted) (samsung micro sdhc 32gb class 10)

It the. Upside down h. Then ata when I first started using my SD card. The card got corrupted and every folder had this upside down h in front of it and I lost everything. I formated the SD card. And I have deleted this folder a few times but it keeps coming back.

No problem. FYI, that upside-down "h" is the symbol for the term "micro".
Its also pronounced "mew". Hopefully that helps if you try to search some more

[Q] PACMan Rom SD Card Problem

Hi Folks,
I've just installed pac_t0lte-nightly-20130918.zip and I'm seeing some strange behaviour.
The ROM itself is great - I love it! However, I've noticed that it appears to be sulking a bit with my SD Card. (64GB SAN Disk)
I don't believe that there is anything wrong with the SD Card itself, but rather some kind of mounting problem, as I can read, browse and view pictures & video from it on /storage/sdcard1.
However, when looking in the settings things are a little bizarre. I've attempted to attach some screenshots below, but suffice to say, the size appears to be reported correctly in the Storage section, but the '/sd-ext (EXT)' is 'Unavailable'.
Anyone any ideas?

I have the exact same issue, I have no idea how to fix it, I've changed cards, I've changed the Rom, I've tried a fix on the rw permissions. Nothing changed. I've got a backup app that won't let me restore because it can't find it.

HTC one M8 Taking too much space on OTHER folder

Having a removable SD inserted has no bearing on what is shown for Phone Storage on this screen. It only refers to the built-in memory.
Is the phone modded? If so, and you have any ROM zips or especially nandroids, these take up tons of space.
Also, if you have apps that download extra data (games in particular) these also tend to take lots of storage.
But without any details about how you use your phone, its really impossible for someone else to tell you what this is.
Try using the following app to see what is taking up so much space:

Adoptable storage and apk package installer don't play well together.

So i did format my SD card as an internal storage for 2 reasons: * i want to mange my SD card photos using Google photos (currently every time it forces me to open the built-in gallery just to delete a photo)
* Google Camera app can't save photos to SD card (i like HTC camera, but every time i tap to view my shot it lags for a second)
Using adoptable storage fixed both problems, but it introduce new ones. some apps by default install a part of the apk on the SD card.

Like super hexagon and threes.
Now i just can't install those using an APK file,, it just says "App not installed" so i did go to Google Play and install both of through Google Play, and that went fine!. but i toke 4 hours!! because downloading from Google Play is just a nightmare in my country. i Have to use my backed-up APKs.
Any idea?
