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.

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.

[Q] Redirecting My Documents and My pictures to Storage Card does not seem to "stick"

[Q] Redirecting My Documents and My pictures to Storage Card does not seem to "stick"
Hi,
got my HD2 yesterday and have been toying since to set it up the way I'm used to with my previous Touch Pro and TytnII before that.
This shows again how spoiled we've been with excellent roms like the Energy Series!
I'm using the same 4GB microSD card I had on the TouchPRo since all my pictures etc are on there but I can't get the pictures displayed in the picture tab of Touchflo.
I redirected all relevant 'location' folders using Advanced Config but after soft reset, the HD2 is still displaying the demo pictures that come with the phone.
New pictures get stored on the storage card, but in the DCIM folder although I also specified the store location to be 'My Pictures'.
I tried both the pre-defined storage card locations in Advance Config, as well as the browse option to go to the relevant folder.
I though maybe it is because I have the Dutch HD2 version (yes, I could not wait as the WWE is only available on the 13th) but I checked and the storage card is named 'storage card', not some Dutch translation.
Anybody have any pointers where I could change this?
thanks a lot.
DicE

nobody who could help me? Been looking into the registry past couple of days at HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\image; HKLM\Services\Picture etc... every key seems to point to the right locations; but still when I take a picture, it doesn't show up in the TouchFlo3D interface...
help anyone?
DicE

the manual says that you must add a "album" as "favorite album" to show the pics in manila on todayscreen. maybe this is the solution?

I'm not sure this is what you're asking, but here's a quote from the manual:
Captured photos are named using the convention IMAGnnnn.jpg (where ‘nnnn’ is the counter), and are saved to the \DCIM\100MEDIA folder on the storage card.
and
To set a favorite album
The Photos & Videos tab on the Home screen displays photos and video files from the current favorite album. By default, the Camera Shots album which stores the photos and videos you captured using the Camera is set as the favorite album. You can change to another favorite album, if preferred.
1. On the Albums main screen, tap Albums.
2. On the Albums tab ( ), tap the album you want to set as your favorite.
3. Tap Menu > Set Album as Favorite, and then tap OK.
It looks to me like the pictures can be stored on the card, but only in one location and you must specify the location.
Sorry if I misinterpreted your question (I don't have an HD2 to play with yet).
-Bob-

@rebecker - you have almost miss understood The OP wants the Camera software to SAVE the photos into \storage card\My Documents\My Pictures - this does not work, none of the usual reg key changes work.

Default camea picture folder - DCIM vs My Pictures
I also have a similar problem. I've changed HKLM\software\HTC\camera\general\EnableDCIM = 0, so that I can use date/time prefix.
After the change, the HTC Album recognize \Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures as the default camera folder. However, when I actually took a photo it went to DCIM folder... Not a big deal, but it is just a little annoying.
Any expert here know how to solve this?

Exactly the same problem. The camera saves its shoots to DCIM\100media, and not to My pictures, even if DCIM = 0...

I have 1.43 rom and I have also wanted to change default my picture and my documents folder to the folder on storage card. I didn't made it.
For the photo tab...yes I wanted few thing here too...because everytime I've set the favourite album to the storage card/photos...that was reset everytime I've connected hd2 to pc or when i removed microsd card and put it back...
The only way that I kept my favourite album fixed was with not connecting with usb or removing the card.
Ok...it takes only few seconds to change the favourite album back, but it is very annoying that hd2 doesnt remember the folder...

looks like live mesh mobile works pretty good.
I did something stupid and installed it on the storage card. I'm going to do a whole new install, and try on device to see if there's a difference. I got an error about invalid config, blah blah. it seems to loop on sync since i got the error, but the documents appear to sync anyhow.

Hello all,
today i bought x10, so i have x1 and moved my micro SD cart to the x10 but i cant find a way to access it, there is tons of stuff on it - folders, films, music, text documents.I am used to windows mobile device so need some help with android.How to access my card?
another thing - how to change the directory when i take a picture where to save it?
there are some "moxier" stuff on the menu wtf are all of them for?
i have a USB stick for internet, when i put the sim card in the phone and try to connect to internet it says there is no connection set up???with all other phones i insert it and just start browsing so whats the problem here?
sooo thats the problems i met so far i will be gratefull if someone can help me.

Firstly download a file manager app... Astro or Linda are both good. That gives you access to your SD card's contents.
The camera takes pictures and stores them on DCIM file and under 100ANDRO on my phone. They are viewable in Mediascape from there. You can also use the file manager to create more files/albums in the Pictures file and as long as the image is in there the phone finds it to view in Mediascape. I copied over a load of pics from my PC to X10 using the MediaGo part of the PC Companion.
The moxier stuff is bloat ware put on by SE, can't get rid of it unless you root.
Not sure about the USB thing, hopefully someone else can give you some advice on that.

sooo if i dont have internet connection i cant download either of the managers :/

Are you talking about using a different SIM card which has a mobile data plan on it just so that you can access the internet??? That's not a great way of using a smartphone like this.. when you've got your "normal" SIM in you phone will be a bit crippled!..
Anyway.. couple of options - 1. Find somewhere with Wifi and use that to access the internet..
2. If you're putting in a new SIM card then you'll need to configure the internet access via mobile data - you can get the settings from the support pages on the SE site..

okay...
fixed the internet , installed astro
just few more questions poped up so:
as i read somewhere now i dont need anything else to install .apk files on my device right? i can install them throught astro?
also when i configured astro to "sort" folders and files (folders on top) when i restarted the device they went back as i didnt do any settings?will settings reset every time i shut down the phone? and can i fix it somehow?
oh and any options to see the % battery left like on x1 after putting some other roms that got this option?

[Q] My location app don’t show detailed map

Desire HD comes with preinstalled ROUTE 66 maps on the 8 Gb storage card. When I got my new HD I immediately copied all data to 16 Gb SD card (probably my mistake) to get more space. As a result My Location app don’t show in offline mode detailed map and POIs, but if a go to Menu > Upgrade I can see all preinstalled maps. I put original SD card to Desire HD, made restart with same result. Actually I don’t know did this application work when I switched on HD Desire at first time.
Any suggestions please

It could be that the detail map for your counry is not so detail for your city. Check if the map of another big city in your contry is detailed.

See if this solves your problem as it helped me with my Locations problem.

[Q] external sd card general questions

hi, i've just got my iconia and I am also new on the Android world. A couple of things I've noticed about the external SD card that maybe somebody could help me to understand.
1.- when I hook my tablet to my windows 7 laptop, I get to see the internal memory on the win explorer but not the external card, so is this normal or do I have to look for more updated drivers on my PC?
2.- with the external SD card on I get to see my files on an android file manager and I get to open any file individually by getting the "select app for opening this file", but this is time consuming so I am wondering if my stock lumiread, gallery, multimedia player have the current limitation of only reading the content from the internal memory. If so, what free alternatives do I have to replace stock apps?

A couple of answers
First, if you install File Manager HD, you won't need to tether your Iconia to your laptop any more. In the app, open the 'menu' and touch 'LAN Connections'. Your Windows PC will show up as an IP address. Make sure to change the IP Address to a computer name (long press, rename) so that next time File Manager won't have to search for it every time. You will be able to transfer anything on the tab to the 'Public' folder on the PC, and vice versa. Depending on what folders are shared on the PC, you will be able to access more on the PC.
I keep my music on my external SD card in a folder named 'My Music'. The stock music/multimedia players found them with no problem.
I haven't tried moving any books for Lumiread to the external SD card, so all I can suggest is to look at the file structure and duplicate it on the ext SD card, copy a book into it (a new one, or move an existing one) and see if it finds it. I don't see anything within the app to set search/storage directories, but maybe it will scan everything like the music apps do.
Have fun with you new Tab. The more you play with it the more you will understand Honeycomb and it won't seem so foreign to you. It does pretty much everything every other OS does, just a little different way.
Kp

Thanks Ken, I downloaded FMHD and will try it soon. I also though about reproducing the lumiread folder on the ext sd card but no luck, so probably a future update on the app will fix that. I tried this as well copying the pictures folder (and also renaming it as 'My Pictures') but the stock gallery just won't see the image files, is there any chance you could see if you get the same results? I have not tried yet on the music stock app. Again, thanks for your help, it is great to find nice people on the web with similar tech passions as I do

Hello Ken, like that app. Wondering if it would be an easy way to tether to my HTC Evo? Thanks in advance for you thoughts.

I use Quickpic from the Market (free) since it lets you choose which drives/directories to scan.
Here is what you do.
1. Create the My Pics directory on the External SD card with File Manager HD, put a few pics in it.
2. After installing Quickpic, start the app. It will display everything it finds on the internal SD Card.
3. Touch the Menu button from the main screen.
4. Choose SETTINGS-INCLUDED FOLDERS-ADD
5. Tap the double dots at the top of the list, it will display all the memory devices attached.
6. Tap EXTERNAL_SD. All directories on the card will be displayed. Press OK.
Now press the 'back' button and you will see your pics that are anywhere on the External SD card.
All I did to get the A500 music player to find the music on the External SD card was run the NemoPlayer app and open the music. Once I did that the regular music app found them, too.
Have fun!

Don't quote me on this, but I don't think so. From what I have seen and heard so far it is only connecting to Windows shares. I don't have an Android phone to test with, so can't swear to it, but I know it doesn't see an iPhone, so likely won't see a Mac either.
Anyone else been able to connect to anything but a Windows share? Let us know if you have, and what app you used please.
