Hi!
I have an external MicroSD Card and I am using it for TomTom and other applications. So the card is working great.
But I tried to change the settings of the cam to store the pictures to the external flash instead to the internal (small) one. I can change the setting but it does not work. Next time I check the settings the default storage is again the interal flash.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Johannes
Same thing happened to me. My Vario II would not remember the setting. I fixed it by selecting the memory icon from the camera screen (the small picture of the storage card at you will see when the camera is activated). It seems to remember this setting rather than the setting in the Settings menu. Strange!
Hi,
thank you for that information. You are right, with this hint it is working...
Regards,
Johannes

I have Resco Explorer installed with the Network folder so I can access files on my network.
However, when I go into the Camera the only options for saving files is Main Memory and Network. There is no Storage Card option. How do I make it so the camera will save pictures and videos to the Storage Card?
IS there a registry tweak?
You may try this :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\Image\Saveto
0 change 1
It work on Prophet.
Didn't work. Seems that the Camera has only two options available. When I add 1 to the regisrty is simply chooses Network or the second option. 0 is the first option. In this case, Main Memory.
I think Storage Card is missing becuase it displays the first two options alphabetically.
Main Network
Network
Storage Card
When I removed Network from Resco, the Storage Card appeared again.
The solution is to include a 3rd option in the pulldown.....but how?
Hi I have the same problem, has anyone found a solution to this yet ?
In your camera options you can indicate the storage location of the pictures. Start the camera, click the options icon. Click the bottom left button to enable more options. Select options, Then on the first tab select storage card at the bottom
I applied a tweak to show "Network" which resulted 2 options for the camera to save to (Main Memory & Network).
I too was frustrated by the lack of the option to save to the sd card.
As soon as I removed this tweak the storage card option was available along with main memory.
What is the network tweak and how do I remove it ?
same problem with the extended ROM unlock wizard... remove it and it works like a charm.
Well my problem was that I installed pocketLan and in there there is a setting to Show network i the explorer after I removed that setting i can save to SD again. Very strange that they didnt think of allowing more then 2 fields, QA person must of been drunk that day :roll:
The only work around I found is that if you want to save pics to your memory card, disable Enable Network Folder in PocketLan, then it forces you to soft reset your ppc, after that you have a option to save to memory card. So when you need to access the Network folder, re Enable it, and it will force you to soft reset your ppc again. Hope some1 can find a fix to this. Thanks
Same issues but with bluetooth explorer

Yes, I and others had this problem. Some solved after taking the card in and out a few times combined with a few soft re-sets. Others found they had to do a hard reset. Soft reset (a few and card in and out a few times ) worked for me and its recognised it ever since. As a side note someone I read about had some Lan network download installed and camera kept offering a choice of saving to main memory or to the network but not SD card. This was solved by uninstalling the LAN software - might not affect you though.
Let's know how you get on.
Mike
thanks...
will give it a try
Hi guys.
I had a similar issue after installing V-Mobile Network Browser and making network folders local. I was prompted with the option of where to save my pictures to everytime I opened the camera. Also when I went into the camera settings (not using the memory icon on the camera screen) to change the memory location I was offered the choice of 'Main Memory' or 'Network' to save my pics. This is what led me to believe it was Network Browser settings causing the problem. All I done was disable the network folders being local, when into the camera and set it up to save the pics to the memory card then re-enabled local network folders and everything has been fine since.

Yeh, same problem here. I setup the Network folder before installing my m-SD card. The camera appears to only pickup the 'first' storage device when it initialises. If that is the Network folder, then it will fail when not connected to the net.
I used the same method already suggested of turning off the Network folder, re-setting up the camera to use the m-SD card. I have yet to reenable the network folder so it is good to hear that it does continue to work.
i had the same problem and made a registry edit at HKCU\Software\HTC\Camera\4.00\Camera\Strings\... I changed the entry for "Save Location" from Main Memory to Storage Card. Now all pics and videos are saved in the root folder of my storage card.
thanks ..the issue is now resolved. I applied the registry fix..
Now i just hope that other users would be aware of the fix
thanks to all of you guys ..er and ladies who helped.
Hi.
Just got my Tytn and when using camera it asks me if I want to save pictures to sd card,so I select yes.But when I take a photo it saves to internal memory.
Also,when pressing the icon at the top of the camera screen to change storage location,nothing happens.
Any ideas?

Common little problem this where it will repeatedly ask if you want to save to storage card but then defaults to main memory. There can be more than one cause. First thing to try is removing and reinserting sd card and soft resetting perhaps more than once, each time telling camera to use storage card.
Can be due to having network folder enabled, but try above first.

Same problem here
I have the same problem. When I choose "Storage card" in the options of my camera, it selects "storage card" OK but immediately forgets the setting (when I OK it and then return to options).
I've tried a couple of soft resets, and there is no difference. Help!

When you are in camera>tools>capture settings do you get an option to save to "network" ? Also have you tried taking SD card in and out with device switched ON followed by soft reset?
I ask about network being given as an option because AFAIK the camera only allows two possible settings for storing data. If the network folder is enabled it will always offer network or main as storage. If network folder is disabled you will get SD card or main (unles you have one of those flakey cases where card is not always recognised)
There is a registry tweak to enforce the choice of Card or Main even when network folder is enabled. (Blowed if I can find it now, but it's on this forum somewhere/wiki?)

Thanks a lot!!
It was the network folder being active in Resco Explorer.
Changed the setting back to network root and now can switch between card and internal memory at will to save my pictures!
Cheers again.

Thanks for the suggestions Mike.
No Network option - only Main memory and Storage card. Tried removing card and soft reset - still doesn't remember my choice of default storage (the setting is lost as soon as I exit 'Options').
Don't suppose you know where I could find that registry tweak?

Might get another chance to look tonight but at present I cannot find it! - though I did read it somewhere. BUT I'm not sure it'll work for you as it is already giving you the option of "storage card" rather than "network" as some folks have. Might be worth trying but question is why is your setting not sticking?
I suppose the old hard reset is something you really want to avoid!! although that might be your only option.
Suggestions needed from others please.
EDIT: Just had a thought. Some applications only like to save to specific locations. If you have not done so, try creating a folder on the root of your storage card called "My Documents" inside this folder create another one called "My Pictures". Then try again - worth a try.

hi there guys
got an hermes 300 here... this is the problem:
when i got it i didnt had the storage card, the microSD card i got few days ago, a 2Gb Kingston... the card is well functioning and no problems...
before the card, everything was saved to main memory of ppc, aswell as MMS, camera pictures etc etc etc... now when i have storage card its same, dunno why? in camera settings i can switch only between main memory and network, no storage card shown... MMS is same, every copy is saved to main memory and it fulls it... nothing is saved to storage card... how to automatically switch all storage to storage card?
thx guys
Well where the apps store things is not automatic. In other words you need to go into an applications settings OR make changes to the Registry to set for example saving SMS or IE temp files from main to storage card.
Now the exact changes you need to make are already posted in this forum so searches should produce results. (if there is a particular setting you cannot find then ask again in this thread)
Now, a slightly different issue is where the camera stores photos:
Uunfortunately the camera is only capable of saving to one of two locations at any one time so:
If the view network folder is NOT enabled you will be offered:
"Main" or Storage card" and once set it will remember your choice and not ask again.
BUT with Network folder enabled and a storage card inserted you will:
be asked if you want to use "StorageCard" every time you start Camera, but in camera tools you will only be offered "Main" or "Network" even if you chose the card. It will not set to storage card even if you said you wanted this when camera started.
So, if you want to use main memory with a storage card inserted and don't want the silly question about using storage card each time, then you must disable the network folder. (Use Resco or Total Commander to do this - forget now if regular File Explorer does it)
Equally if you want to save to storage card you will also need "network" folder disabled otherwise it will save to Main memory even when you say yes to Storage Card on start up of the camera application.
The default setting for the Network folder is disabled, so if you are having problems it is likely to have been enabled by using the likes of Resco or Total Commander.
Cheers

I noticed that after I installed the R2A Rom, that the media panel is more streamlined and cleaner when it comes to pics. However it only shows pics on the device and not the storage card. Is there anyway to change this?
Just checked mine and it shows pics on my sd card... but I changed my pics location to sd via auto config, not sure if that has anything to do with it...

Whats "auto config?"
Weird
My photos are all on my card, I know that because my phone has been hard reset 3 or 4 times in the last day.
However, after giving the media panel a couple of minutes to detect all my images, the ones from my card are all there. Infact even the images from the phone are there, but they show at the END of my memory card images.
I am running GENERIC_UK R2AA_10, however behaviour has always been the same for me since R1AA.
Auto config is a fantastic tweaking app by a chap called Schaps... (sorry about the terrible rhymying it just came out that way...) its latest version is 3.3 and can be found on the board somewhere...
I solved this problem in this way:
My picas folder is StorageSD\Pictures
So i replace "DCIM" key with "Pictures" (not "StorageSD\Pictures" !!!) in system registry.
(something about "EXTERNAL_STORAGE_FOLDER" or like)
After that all picas become viewable thru MediaPanel
On R1A rom mine displays storage card files too.
