I have this strange problem I can't figure out
I can take a photo and save it to the internal memory, but not the Storage Card. The camera recognizes teh storage card when I insert it, asks me if I want to make it the default storage location, but when I take pictures, nothing gets saved.
I can put files on the storage card just fine.
any thoughts?
TIA

Does it repeatedly ask if you want to save to storage card?
When you check has it resorted to Main?
Do you have the Network folder enabled?
If so then check through this:
Hermes Camera
Camera Save/Storage Problems
Specifying your own location in registry=
HKLM - Software - HTC - Camera - Image - SaveFolder - xyz
where xyz is your folder name, but note this folder will be added as a subfolder of the following (in this case storage card) auto added path:
/Storage Card/My Documents
Note that setting a location or name other than the defaults will result in problems viewing pictures via the application, though they can be view by locating and opening files individually.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\Image]
value of "Saveto" = 0 will save images to main memory
value of "Saveto" = 1 will save images to storage card
Usually the camera only asks about storage card when you have just inserted a new card OR you have the "network" folder enabled.
Now unfortunately 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 File Commander to do this - forget now if regukar 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 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.

"\Storage Card\My Documents" corrupted?!??
So I tried to make the changes above, and I discovered that my "\Storage Card\My Documents" folder must somehow be corrupt. I can't even create a "My Pictures" sub-folder to do the Regedit fixes above. BTW, I WAS able to create a new folder in "\Storage Card"
Any idea why this is happening?

How about using active sync explore function on PC. Delete the folders and recreate \Storage Card\My Documents\My pictures

Ok, I'm using the program Registry Wizard, created by one of the great users on this forum...Anyways, I'm runing into a small but annying problem.
For some reason my storage card was renamed to Storage Card2, and a new folder on the device was created named Storage Card, and this is where all the IE data is being stored. I deleted this folder, and attampted to rename the actual storage card, back to "Storage Card" and it said there was an error and the folder cannot be renamed. What is the particular reason for this? I'm attempting to name it back, and THEN apply the reg hack to save all IE data to the "Storage Card" folder
Any ideas?
Hi,
Suddenly i restarted my phone and it created a new Storage Card on the device as a folder. My storage card has now been recalled storage card 2 ? Why would that happen and how to fix it please ? Its annoying cos none of my shortcuts work now as the file path has changed so I'd like it back the normal way.
Thank you
This happened to me. Its actually a quick fix: just remove the memory card, then delete the folder titled "Storage Card" (given there is nothing in that folder, if so, back it up first and put it on the actual memory card), then re-insert the memory card and it should come up as "Storage Card" now.
I think a soft reset works too. happened to me once and I believe thats what I did.
It's happened to me several times.
Don't know why but a delete of the Storage folder and a restart fixed it.
Don't delete the wrong folder ..... check it is empty.

This could happen if you have tweaked your registry settings to store your IE cache in storage card or if some application is using storage card to store application data (for example an RSS reader). When the phone restarts and it is not able to locate the storage card due to some reason (for example timing issues in code), the phone will create a folder by name "Storage Card" in main memory if any application tries to write to storage card. Later when you reinsert your card, it will be named as "Storage Card 2", as there is a folder already by name "Storage Card"
If you dont want to lose any data, instead of deleting, you can just rename "Storage Card" folder created in the main memory.
BTW, I faced the same pblm yesterday. Very annoying when it happens often. I never faced this with my magician.
i had the exact same prob, didnt know why. and it was because i did use the reg tools to tweak that IE cache is stored on stroage card. i did wat u said, just deleted the folder and reinserted the card, also changed the reg key's back cos i cant b arsed with that on every soft reset!
I set the Camera to store the photos on the Storage Card but can't seem to find them. Either the camera is not processing and storing the pictures (-the counter is being reduced with each picture taken) or i just don't know where to look on the MiniSD Card, or i have a configuration problem. When i set the picture storage to the Main Memory everthing is OK.
Please HELP!!
I have exactly the same problem
\My Documents\My Pictures that's where you should find them on the storage card

The problem is that "Storage Card\My Documents" is empty
Gentlemen, I have found my/the solution.
The "My Documents" folder on my Mini-SD card was seemingly corrupt. I copied all the Directories of my SD to my PC except the "My Documents" folder and then re-formatted my SD card (FAT32). After this I inserted the SD card in the unit and then took a SD picture, this opened up a "My Documents" folder and "My Pictures" sub-folder, then I just copied everything back from my PC to the SD……..everything now works.
PS- I suggest that if taking a picture doesn't open up a "My Documents" folder on the SD then just make one yourself.
Had the same problem on my dopod D810. Just deleting the 'My Documents' folder on the storage card worked in this case. After taking a picture the folder was created automatically.
My Documents folder is located on main memory. It is often that newly installed programs will create some subfolder there and start saving data files, documents, pictures, etc. Is it possible to move "My Documents" folder into SD card permanently ( by changing registry or running some cab). This would free up some memore immediately and then will reduce the risk of using main memory for some data files.
I know some programs allow to adjust settings of where data files are kept, but I am sure some will follow windows settings.
Hi all
I used sktools to move and store my e-mails in storage card. on each start up, hd2 renames my storage card as "storage card 2" and creates a folder named "storage card" on device. I can rename or erase it but I can not do this on every start up.
Is this because my storage card is slow?
Any advice please?
mine used to do this also, i got bored of removing the sotrage card 2 folder so just left it, annoying being there but doesnt cause me any probs, everythiung still goes onto the actual SD card. prob has stopped now since doing a hard re set a few days back, so not sure what causes it. if i get again ill prob just ignore.
but doesn't it rename existing storage card as #2 and create "storage card" on device. then the e-mails will be still kept on the device.
yeah it does rename the actual storage card as storage card 2. never tried to get emails etc saved onto it though so not sure about that.

I am going to guess that either at one time, you removed your storage card while the phone was on, or you had issues with your storage card ...
You should find a file in your device memory named "Storage Card" rename it to something like "Storage Card3" and Reset your device as soon as you rename it ...
then it should be back to normal, when you restart, then you should be able to remove "Storage Card3" ...
Hope it helps
it is about sktools. on each reset sktools creates a new storage card and also renames real storage card as storage card2.
I am able to rename them to normal. but I can not do it each time. I am looking for a way to avoid sktools doing this.
this is not SKTools create folder.
In your startup loaded poutlook.exe. But this time OS has not yet been initialized your card. So messaging program cannot find path and will create folder Storage Card. After this OS end initializing card, but name "Storage Card" already used and OS will set for card name "Storage Card2". This is common problem.
Try delete poutlook.exe and tmail.exe from startup.
If this not help - wait new ROM update. Maybe they fix it ( i not believe).
Thanks for the comments.
Any other program to let outlook write the email bodies and attachments to Storage card?
