Problem with Camera writing to Storage card

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

Storage card malfunction! Please help!

Hey,
I was using Pocket Mechanic to defragment my storage card, and at the end of the process it had asked me to soft reset my phone to complete the process. So i did that and now my phone will not start if my storage card is in my phone and to turn on my phone i have to wait untill everything is booted to insert the storage card. And for some reason when i go in my file explorer it shows as one FOLDER named "storage card" and my STORAGE CARD named as "storage card2", and now all the shortcuts do not work and i cannot rename my storage card back to normal, any ideas? thanks!

Well, it unfortunately looks like you've got a corrupted storage card. You're going to have to format it. If you have shortcuts to programs that you've installed onto the SD card, re-installing those apps will/should just resolve the shortcut problem.

STOP, thats not always the case!
a) Remove storage card.
b) Open a file explorer, you shoudl see the folder "storage card". delete it. It was created, because the system could not open up the real storage card.
c) re-insert the storage card. It should now come up with "storage card"
Still, the storage card could have bena affected so you could use a application like "pocket mechanic" to scan the storage card for errors.
If you find errors get a storage card reader for your pc. then you copy all of your (working) data to the pc, format your storace card and re-copy everything to the card.

Thanks! ill be sure to give that a try right now and ill let you guys know how it went. I appreciate the help!

Ok so that did the trick! delete the Storage card folder before putting in my storage card successfuly fixed all the shortcuts. However, I still cant reboot my phone with my storage card in it, once it gets to the windows mobile screen it just restarts and it will never get any further than that unless i take out my memory card. In my memory card i do have Tomtom set up in it and its got a "autorun" file in it so could that be the error? thanks!

problems with using sdcard as "portable storage" under marshmallow.

Hi, I have opted to use my sd card as "portable storage" rather than adopting it as "internal storage"
But it doesn't work as expected. Such as
1. Apps which previously allow data to be stored on sd card ( such as stock camera ), now simply
stores it in phone memory even though in the app, settings point to sd card.
2. All apps cannot be moved to sd card. Previously under lollipop, some apps can.
Cant find any options to do so under settings->storage & usb OR settings->apps. Is it still possible.?
If yes, what do I need to do?
Thanks

rooting will help ....!!! but dont know how to root.... ??? normal step of rooting not working.....

found this in lenovo forum:
In Marshmallow, you need to format you SD card as internal storage in order to move apps and that to all apps are not movable.
To make changes you can go to : Settings -> Storage -> Click on "SD Card" -> More -> Format as internal
Note : Make sure to take data backup before formatting your SD card, as all data from SD card will get erased when formatting.

Out of scope.
He's asking how to use sd card as 'portable storage' and not 'internal storage'.
I did the same for the camera, and photos/videos are stored in sd card, please check again.
In these 6.0 version for k3, no option in settings to move apps, but maybe will arrive later..
for some apps, you can move data from internal to sd card (like sygic).

Marshmallow another screwed fcuk, format as 'internal storage' r only options for moving apps/games to sd card.

Adoptable Storage - Anyone got it to work?

I tried the Adoptable storage mod using ADB and everything went through fine with no errors during ADB.
The file size of internal storage is still 32GB reported through the phone's storage setting. It also shows my 64 GB SD card through the phone's storage as well.
SD card disappeared from the File Manager on the phone and does not show up on my PC when connecting the phone.
I filled up the 32 GB internal storage with apps and movies and I am unable to put anymore on. Pretty much indicating that the adoptable storage feature is not working.
I am in the process of factory resetting with the partitioned SD card to see if that fixes anything.

I used the mod to split my 200gb card in half. It worked for me as you can see by the ss.

I finally got mine to correct the total device storage size. Now to see if apps install properly if I fill up the internal storage.
Time to download a ton of crap from Oculus and I'll see what happens.

When you guys say you finally got it to work, what exactly did you do different because I tried exactly as the how-to says and couldn't get it.

After you follow the steps to partition the SD Card, Go to Settings > Storage > SD Card > More (upper right corner). Then migrate files to the SD Card.
Once the migrate completes then I believe that the SD Card is properly made into adoptable storage.
New apps and data should now fill you your SD Card first, before using internal storage.

I have a new problem ...
I did everything on the tutorial and no errors but still wont WORK
My internal phone storage is full and i migrated the internal sd-card (go to Storage-->internalSD-card--->dots uppercorner and migrate) like u said but still the apps won't install on the internal sd-card...
it just asking me to delete some apps to able to install the new one...
Help me with my Sony Aqua m4 8gigs... PLZ

I'm curious about something. Been trying to get this to work but after doing "sm partition disk:179,0 private" (without the quotes) it is my understanding that it may take a while but in no less than 2 seconds it goes back to hero2qltespr:/ $
I also do not see the Migrate data option in (Storage-->internalSD-Card---> upper corner dots). On my Sprint S7 Edge it's Settings --> Device Maintenance --> Storage --> and the 3 dots only has Storage Settings. Once in there there isn't an option to migrate data.
Any idea what I can be doing wrong or does Nougat remove that Migrate option on the Sprint version.

App to SD?

Wondering if there's​ a way to transfer apps to SD. There is no option by defaul.

Go to "Settings>developer options>"
there you will find "force apps to external storage" option at the bottom. flip the switch and you are done.

Na, did you?
This option allow you to move apps to SD card.

Okay so I figured out that when you insert a new micro sd card, it is added as a portable storage and hence you cannot move apps to sd card, there is no option. But you can format your card from storage options and make it as external storage where you can move the apps to sd card. Just in case anyone was wondering.
