I keep getting "Insert an SD card before using the camera." I've formatted, tried several different cards, unmounted and remounted... what can I do to fix this? I know there's other problems with the camera, I wanted to try google camera because once in a while it says something like "can't access the camera" I love it and everything works but the camera.
You can flash resurrection remix rom. It is better battery life, performance and camera work fine

is there no one who can sort the problem out?
Most AOSP ROMs doesn't support save in external SD...
I saw the ROM (slim bean) camera does support save in external SD, you may want to try it..
Also try Jellybam (jellybam. com), been using it for a while and it doesn't have any problem.. But no you can't save in external SD using it but you still can move the files using any explorer though.. Not a big thing..

thanks
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?

1. It is a widely known bug with AOSP Camera on pawitp's CM11. It still doesn't affect any functionality of the camera itself.
2. AOSP and Google Camera which are on Nexus devices use internal memory, because there is no SD card slot in Nexus devices. And CM11's camera is derived from AOSP camera. Try using Xposed module called "Pictures2SD", it will save your time and effort of moving the pictures manually.
3. I had been using pawitp's CM11 for a month and had no such problem. If the problem persists, try to get a logcat at the moment of pictures deletion and report a bug on CM11 thread.
THANKS!! ill try

thanks for the reply!
Ok so I have a problem with some roms reading my SD properly on boot. No idea if it's a hardware or rom issue. Basically my ringtones and all will be set as UNKNOWN on boot. My music will also not appear in any media programs. At one point the problem wasn't happening on one of the tested roms but then after a 4th reboot it happened again.
The issue exists on,
Slimkat 7.0 and 9.0 (4.4.4)
SlimLP
Unofficial Cyanogen 12
LiquidSmooth Lolipop
It works properly on
CM11 nightly 2014/12/30
OctoOS Kitkat
Is the issue the roms or my phone? Is my SD+SIM reader dying? It doesn't seem to be an issue on CM11 but these other roms it is an issue. I have to test more of them to be sure. I don't want to replace the reader or the SD card if it's not a hardware issue. I will update my post with more tested roms on the issue. I didn't notice anything like it until trying slimkat and no one in the rom thread knows why it's happening so far.
It seems like any AOSP rom works fine. Not sure if all these ones with the issue are non AOSP.
This happens with all SD cards in your phone?
Unfortunately I don't have another to try but this SD card seems to work in other devices 100% properly. I'm starting to think it's some kind of permissions issue with these roms. Maybe something isn't being giving permissions properly for writing/reading to SD.
Since it works on CM11, the problem exists not just on CM-based ROMs. I don't think any special permissions are needed to read or write to an SD card unless you're trying to install apps to the SD card.
Have you tried any CAF-based ROMs. Not sure if there are any for the s3.
I would try a different SD card to see what happens. If the same thing happens, then it's a ROM issue. If not, it's an SD card issue.

But the problem DOES exist on CM12. it's in my list of roms with the issue. I have tried the SD card in other devices and it works but I don't have another SD to try in this specific phone. Plus I have become happy with CM11. I want to go on a limb and say it is a permissions issue with specific roms not getting permissions for my SD card properly. But there is nothing I can do right now to check as I only have 1 micro SD around.
CM11 and CM12 use very different kernels.
I have never seen an option to grant permissions to read/write to an SD card. What are you using to view your SD card's files? Have you tried different kernels with your favourite ROM? Have you tried different file managers?
I have a note 2 where the SD card will not work with some custom CM12 ROMs but it does on CM11, AOSP, and CM10.2 ROMs.
See that is the weird thing. All file manager programs find the files 100% perfectly. The file manager could even play the songs in the default music player. And it is only music files from what I can tell. Videos show up in MX player instantly on boot and pictures are loaded in rather fast by QuickPIC and the regular gallery upon boot. It's only music related files seemingly. At one time Amazon app store was having issues with games that were located on the SD card as well but that issue went away with a reinstall of the amazon app store. So it specifically became MP3 files for the issue. Those of course are also what my ringtone and message tones are. I did not however try other Kernels. The only thing I did try was updating my modem which I noticed was way older than it should have been because some roms couldn't get service. Of course that works now. My logic was the SIM and SD are on the same panel so maybe the modem has firmware for the whole thing. Didn't solve the issue but solved another.
So other Kernels? No. File manager? Works 100%
Crazy weird. The issue you are experiencing is one of the reasons some users tick with stock ROMs.
Hopefully, you will find a suitable solution. If you are able to solve the issue, post your solution as other XDA members may experience the same issue in the future.
Well I was able to solve it by finding a rom that didn't have the issue. The issue only started occuring on roms that were 4.4.4 and 5.0.x. Except for the two I listed at least. The suitable workaround is to put ringtones on the SD card but sometimes my music still won't show in Amazon Cloud player or the default music player. So CM11 seems to be pretty stable for the problem but CM12 was not. If it is a kernel problem I hope more people discover the issue so it can be fixed. The only tweak I had to do to make CM11 usable so far was to change the libc.so file with an older one because it was breaking Puzzle and Dragons.
Hello,
I flashed aicp 13.1 to my beloved z1c, it works very nice and I fairly enjoy it. But there is one thing I'm still trying to fix somehow:
the camera.
Any app I'm install hangs up as soon as I take a picure. The picture is lost and not saved. Should this be the regular case on aicp? Is there a fix availabe?
Thanks for sharing your experience so far, dj
You should use the Aicp 14 Pie camera but it will not work
If need to stock camera should flash this mod https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...s-apps/port-stock-camera-nougat-roms-t3628791
For me it sounds like you cannot store images correctly. Have you formated the sd card? Can you try to save to internal drive?

Oh that was a good guess @jho55 - I formatted my SD card as an external drive within my rom and selected the sd crd as storage destination. At this point I got a notification "unable to save picture" after the shot. I rebooted my device but unfortunately now the the camera stays off. The screen stays black. After another reboot the camera app hangs up with a notification "restart app, wait, report error".
Whats going on there?
//edit
For some reason I am now able to open the app again, I selected internal drive for storage: After a shot it prompts me with the notification "unable to save picture". Going back to sd card leads me to the black screen again^^
//edit2
video works^^
Yes, it's a kind of "unable-to-save-pictures-problem"
//edit3
@vo thai nguyen flash was successful, but problem was not fixed
solved, solution is described here
