I can't seem to find the setting to save my photos to the installed SD card, when I take a photo with the camera I would like it automatically saved to my SD card, and also downloads like phone bill PDF's
Any help with this would be appreciated, I have the latest UK version of MIUI 12.01 and android 11, thanks
Camera, settings, save to sd card
Chrome, settings, downloads, download location

Ever since I downloaded CM7 which was some months ago its only been using my sd card. It hasnt been a big deal until now since its damn near full. i cant for the life of me figure out how to get my apps and my pictures and downloads and just about everything to be on my phone storage and leave my sd card for specific things. is it because i downloaded cm7 to my sd card instead of internal storage?
please help, ive been stuck on nightly 145 since i cant download anymore(and ive deleted all of the old ones already) im very confused help me out.
thanks,
nick
By default, downloads and photos are stored on the SD card. Have you gone into the camera app's settings, for instance, and tried to change the save location? Also, in the CM settings menu (can't remember where exactly), you can change where apps get installed. I think "auto" is the default, and there are options for internal storage and SD card.
hey guys i have the custom rom paranoid android for my device but there seems to b a bug and i want to fix it but idk how some apps cant pick up my exsdcard for example the camera app saves pictures to internal and apollo and google play doesn't search my music and its bugging me there was an update in which i tought it will fix the problem but no its still there how can i fix this help me plzzzzzz. i have use media rescaner and all those apps one that worked for me was ics binder but my phone ran out of batery and when i rebooted the problem started happening again please help me.
I'm having the same problem as can't save camera photos to the external SD card. There is a setting in the camera app that says "store" not sure what it means but it doesn't seem to change anything.
One other thing I would like to confirm is under system settings is the "storage" setting in the prior ICS version you could format the external SD Card. Here format SD Card formats the internal SD Card. Can you format the external SD Card from settings? Not what I was expecting, guess that's why I backed everything up.
I'm running Paranoid 4.1.2 and it is fantastic and fast. I was on ICS previously and had these settings before.
Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but either way Paranoid is awesome!
Thanks for your advice.
Save camera pics to external Sd card
I guess tagging onto 2 week old thread with no responses was not the best idea
Looks like saving camera pics to external sd card is not an option. I even downloaded
Camera from ver. 4.2, same thing. Only solution I can make work is use a different camera app
than google's.
Still not sure why 4.1.2 does not have an option to format the external sd card just the internal.
Still like Paranoid, seems very stable.
Just rooted my Galaxy S3 and flashed Cm10 4.2.2
I'm going crazy trying to get my files to automatically store to my SD card. For example when I take a picture the files go straight to my external memory or when I save a attachment picture it goes straight to my external download folder. I dont mind my apps saving to the external memory. Before I rooted and flashed my phone, when it was still all stock, my videos pictures and my music would all save to my SD card automatically. The only things that used to save external was apps which I don't mind. I tried looking threw the cameras setting to see if maybe theirs a option that let's you choose between external or internal saving. But their nothing their. I tried going into storage under settings to maybe select my default storage and nothing their either. I know you can copy the files to the SD card with es file explorer but that's too much of a hassle to be doing it every time i download music or after taking pictures or videos. Im kind of stuck on this one. Any help would be apreciated. Other than that I love CM10

when your in the camera and hit settings in the top right, scroll to the bottom should say 'Storage' to save to memory card or phone? *I thought* ofcourse thats TW ur on CM so AOSP not sure if its the same
The last time is used AOSP based roms those dont support external storage of pics.
With Dropbox, you get 50gb for 2 years if you have a S3. If don't want to get your internal sd going full after the pics are uploaded, delete them.

I have recently installed Xperia Ultimate HD 3.0.2 with Rush kernal V10 and everything was working fine, taking pictures, playing music etc. I have also deleted some software using Titainum to remove the dead weight. And recently i took some pictures but it says cannot save and i cant view thenm in the quick view on the camera software, but it does save them when i looking the gallery. If i try to video something is says 2 mins. at the bottom that suggests it cant recognise the SD card even though it is inserted and is trying to save on the internal memory. Also when i screen catpure is takes it and then says it cant be saved but again when i look in the folder in my gallery it is there. So these apps obviously cant recognise the sd card to save to it, for some reason. the Walkman app when i open it just says no music in the library...suggesting no SD card again! I can browse the SD card in File Manager, so the phone knows the SD card is there, just some of the apps dont realsie it is there, the apps on the sd card are all working fine. im not sure if i am missing someting or maybe i accidently delted somethiing important.
HELP!
Tried to reinstall the SD-card? One time I had a bad contact and the SD-card is not read.

HI all,
I've come across a strange issue where when I save my photos to the SD card, and I delete them off the phone using either the Gallery app or Google photos (using the delete everywhere option) the photos get removed from the gallery/google photos, but the files still exist on the SD Card. Note that I am empting the trash in google photos when I delete it too. When I browse the storage on the phone, the pictures are still there! So when I reboot the phone, the pictures come back to Google Photos and also the gallery. This does not happen when I save them to the internal storage. What is also strange is when I browse the SD Card camera directory via Windows Explorer, the photos do not appear either. Its only through the file explorer on the phone (show hidden files is enabled). I have a samsung 32 GB HDXC SD Card installed. I've also reformatted the card multiple times. Is anyone having this same issue?
Chris
It's normal in KK 4.4.2
Have a look:

Interesting. I just switch back to Android so I'm not up to date on all the changes.
I would think the stock gallery/camera app would have ownership of the SDCard/DCIM/Camera directory. Is there a workaround without rooting the phone?
