Camera unable to capture - storage full (but it isn't)

Weirdest problem today on my month-old Touch HD.
I have a 16GB microSD card with about 2GB free. The camera is set to Photo mode (single shot) Fine. But after 18 snaps I couldn't take any more pics - the system shows the message:
Unable to capture photo. Disk full.
But there's 2GB of free space on the storage card, so this error is false.
Changing the storage destination to Main Memory resolves the immediate problem so I can at least take pics.
Deleting the 18 JPGs and one mp4 video in the DCIM folder on the storage card allowed me to take pics again. Irritating bug.
Anyone else come across this?

Had the same problem when my 8GB card was almost half full....would only allow me to take a few pics. I then wanted to see what happens when I fill the card up even more.....after going beyond 50% card space, all of a sudden remaining pics would show something like 7000+. Altough your problem appears to bit slightly different....

Got same with 3.5gb left on a 16gb card but not been unable to capture photo yet. One minute it tells me I've got space for 5676, another time it will be 646 and sometimes goes down to 94. Not sure what the problem is but I don't want to be let down by it as I use it for work. I wonder if a good old soft reset would reset the card reading or removing and reinserting the card. That's what I will try if I get stuck anyway.

the same problem occured with my device, it said, that I can take only 3 pics, in full quality, while storage card was almost empty. But after that, I´ve deleted one 800MB file (mp4 movie) and now I can take more than 1400 pics. Anyone experienced something like this? Might be something with file system...

A fix....I think?!
Hi guys, this is my first post on XDA so go easy on me.
I ALSO had this problem where suddenly I had a '0' count on photos left to take, yet 4GB free on the same 8GB card.
This is how I fixed it:
1. Connect the HD to the computer and select 'Disk Drive' rather than 'Activesync'.
2. Defragment the SDCard using the command 'defrag e:' or whatever letter your card has connected as.
When the defrag is done disconnect and try to take photos again.
My 'photos remaining' count went from 0 to 6700 after this!
While this appears to be a way of fixing it, its HTC that need to address this problem with a patch.
Theres likely to be defrag programs for WinMob as well that could do the trick.

Not bad for a first post!
Welcome to the addiction!!

Further to my last post...
According to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433818 Defragging your MicroSD is a bad idea.
I certainly didn't experience any issues, it ran my storage card based Sat Nav software fine.
If your concerned that a defrag will damage your card (I certainly have no concerns) then move the contents of your card to the computer, format the SD Card and move the files back again and don't worry about the defrag.

well i think this is pointless copying all the files to ur PC, deleting any SD crap and then copy them back to the card will actually defrag them (i think)..
Cause it will copy one file at a time

Problem is with one of the files being corrupted, resulting in false oversize file.
Solution to this is either completely formatting SD card, or using scandisk in windows.

Massive SD Card problems... Can't load anything

Hey guys,
So I've only had the HD2 for a month or 2 now, and it's awesome... BUT:
I simply can NOT use my microSD card... I've tried 2 different 16gb cards, and a 32gb card, and with any one of them the following happens. I can usually load most cab files/photos onto them (although a lot of the time it says "device stopped responding: Stop Copying/Skip File"), but whenever I try to load music onto it, i get that error message OR it loads everything successfully, then when I access the files on the actual phone, the folders are all empty, and just some weird file with random letters/numbers is left.
I'm running ChuckyROM 23569, 2.06.50.04 radio.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
- Jason

I have the same problem.
Somebody can help us?

same here as well. just got another 16gb card. the fear of having it get messed up wouldnt allow me put the darn thing into the phone. helpppppp plssssss

read through the threads. there are many complaining about 16GB card problems.
i think it has to do with the memory cards. 16gb and above can give trouble. it seems the HD2 does not like it.

Yeah I've read that... I was really hoping there was a fix floating around that I haven't stumbled across yet. It's just a shame that my old Omnia (16gb built in, with a 16gb card) was a storage powerhouse compared to the far-superior HD2. If the 32gb card would work, this phone would well and truly be complete..

Strange ! I have a 16GB mSD in my Touch HD (2 yrs) and a 16GB mSD in my HD2 (6 months) and never ever any probs occured. Both mSD are from SanDisk, formatted directly in Touch HD and HD2. I ordered now the 32GB SanDisk and still wait for delivery.
Can You post the manufacturers of Your mSDs ? Maybe fake-mSDs ?

Sounds like a fake card to me.
Google h2testw (or just fake flash drive test)

HD2 fried my 16GB card?

Ok, I have SPB backup to backup my device every morning at 2am. I have been doing this for the past few months, with no problems at all. Anyway this morning I woke up, and there was a message on the screen saying "backup unsuccessful" but the HD2 did soft reset, because I seen the splash screen for a few seconds.
Anyway I noticed that the wallpaper was not showing, and didn't think anything of it at first. But when I tried playing some music, my device didn't show the Micro SD card as being installed. So I popped the card out, and back in, and still the HD2 couldn't read it. Also under the "SD card & phone memory" it shows no SD card installed, even though the card it in the HD2.
Got home, and tried putting the Micro SD card in my PC, and even my PC won't read the card. Don't get any error messages, put it just shows nothing?
Bit gutted about this, as I had my last 3 backups on the SD card, along with other documents I need.
Suggestions please?

seems the hd2 is hard on memory cards. I scan and fix mine about 3x a week just to be sure. Since then I haven't had any problems.

My memory card would not allow me to add anything on to it.,.,pics I took wouldn't save and such.,I even tried it in a digital camera with the same results. I couldn't even format it on my PC.,just gave me an unsuccessful reply. One thing I did notice was I couldn't move certain stuff off the card (I think it was in opera) it would show me the file and when I tried to move it off the card it said the item no longer exists.,or something along those lines.,(sorry I'm at work and it's been a while since I have had this happen..,I could always reattempt and post results if you guys would like) I threw in an 8G card and everything has been fine.,but would really like my 16g card back

Gonna keep that in mind. Purchased a new 8GB card, but had to restart my phone from SCRATCH!

Hi
There is a quick link to find out if you cards are real or not? I cannot post this link , but Google detecting usb counterfeit drives.
I know a lot of people buy cheap from ebay etc, and few are real good copys. Always remember to buy sealed branded makes with the class in the circle (2,4 or 6)
Living here in Thailand i know all about the copies!! I bought a few, and yes they were copies not 8gb, but 2gb. so at least with the link above it can keep you right.
Also when you get your new real card, erase it in you mobile, then format it before use.
I back up my SD to my D/Drive, but i unhide and show all files on the main computer to make sure all files are transfering over, including the hidden ones.
Just a few tips lads.

Hi, My 2 MicroSdHC 8GB Memory card experienced the same. 1st card only work for 1 and a half day and the 2nd card only work for 1 day!! It's showed NO SD CARD on my HTC HD2 Leo. I bought both card on Ebay. They sent me the replacement card. Unfortunately both card are same. They claimed that they are selling 100% Genuine Micro SD Card!! Lucky I am getting my full refund from them after open a dispute!! Now, I am trying to get other 16GB MicroSDHC for mh HD2 Leo. Hopefully the new 16GB card work well with my HD2 Leo.

Good and Bad Ext SDcards

Hi,
It's the 2nd time that my SDcard stops working. Overall using SDcards on my SGS3 and now SGS4 - I have lost 4 cards (in a period of 1.5 years).
I am making sure that I am buying a Class-10 cards and they are usuaully 16Gb or 32Gb (the one that I've just lost is a Polaroid 16Gb class-10 - not the cheapest one).
What I see right now is that some folders has files that seems to be corrupted. For example DCIM folder has a file that looks like uAMERA (instead of CAMERA) and its at a size of 0b (this is a folder obviously and I cannot modify that name anymore).
All the files under the Titanium backup has weird names now.
My questions are:
1. Is there any type of tool (something like an 'fsck', etc.) that can actually try to recover whatever got corrupted on this card?
2. Is there any recommendation, anyone who had a good experience using an SDcard over 6 months or so, What should I buy as the next SDcard?
3. Is there an application that will check the SDcard 'health' and will, hopefully alert, that something is starting to get wrong with the SDcard? (not sure if that is even possible).
Thanks,
Gil.

Positive experiences using Samsung class 10 cards. Used a 32GB-version for over two years in my SGS2 and now a 64GB one in the SGS4, all without any problems whatsoever :good:

Get Samsung microsd card. Been using it since I got my S4 and no problems so far.

After i had a few cheap memory cards fall apart, i now only buy Samsung as they are very durable, see below.
Samsung Memory cards can endure 24 hours submerged in water and survive being run over by a 1.6 ton vehicle (SDHC, SDXC), not to mention the perils of airport x-ray machines, magnetism and extreme temperatures.

I can recommend you an ADATA micro SD cards (as well as SD cards). It`s got great performance, stability and price. Now i`ve got my third one which is 32GB ADATA mSD card with 28Mb/s read and 18Mb/s write. (five or lifetime warranty depends on country)

I recommend Samsung microsd! I never had problems with my 32 GB microsd

I've had 2 issues with my SanDisk 32GB Class 10.
First time it stopped mounting and kept trying to "repair itself." Brought it to pc.. the card had all my files but it was super laggy. I couldn't access anything, even though the files were there. I ended up formatting. Worked afterwards.
Second issue was it un-mounting and showing blank or unsupported files.. I was watching an episode of The Simpsons, the next file I opened was a Family Guy episode.. that's when it decided to stopped working. Restarting phone didn't work so I shut down and removed the sd card.. worked after reinserting.
None of my files were corrupted/virus
But so far..its working. Good thing I sync with Dropbox.. would have lost all my pictures and video's..

I'm using Transcend MicroSDXC 64GB UHS-I. At first i got bad memory, the card stop working or got error after copying 31GB of data or if i format the memory (non-quick format) it will give error after 51%.
After replacing the card, it looks ok now.

My G S4 just did the same thing... uAmera or the microAmera folder... All photos are gone. Tried recovering with no luck so far. Anyone else experience this?

pictures and videos corrupted when copying to my new microSD 64G

Hi all,
I'm desperate since I received my new microSD 64 GB (samsung).
When I try to copy pictures or videos from my old 32Gb microSD to the new one the file become corrupted and it can't be seem in the new device (the picture becomes partially blocked or becomes file not supported in any viewer). It does not happen for all the pictures, it randomly happens to a percentage of pictures and video. I'd say 60% more less.
Pictures are really OK in the former SD and when I copy those files to a external HD still OK (all can be seem perfect in the PC from the HD connected by USB). The problem appears only when I try to copy to the new SD and it only happens with the videos and pictures. I can copy to the new SD documents and APKs and files work.
I've tried almost all: format the card several times, copy from the former SD to the new SD directly, from the hrad disk to the new SD but the problem remains.
Any help please?
Thanks in advance,

Yes, you got counterfeit/fake memory. The same thing happened to me. I bought "Samsung" branded memory on Ebay. It came in very convincing retail packaging, yet it was fake. The problem is that the memory card is most likely not a 64GB card, but it's been tampered to look like one. I have a friend at work that bought Kingston memory on Ebay as well and had exactly the same symptom.
As soon as I complained to the Ebay seller, he returned me the money and said that he was out of stock and couldn't send me any new ones... Uh-huh...

Thanks. . I'll keep posted here my news
