Hi, I have recently bought a new memory card for my hd2. It's a SanDisk 8gb micro sdhc card.
I formatted in the phone then copied across all files from my old card on my PC. Everything is working fine, CoPilot long with other preinstalled apps as well as all the other .cab files I have downloaded over the last few months. With my MP3s loaded onto the card I have about 3gb left
The problem I have is when I load up my camera, it says I have enough space left for 5 more pictures! Tried switching storage location in settings, which changed to 23 (phone memory) and back again but I still have only 5 pics remaining - for some reason it won't see card properly but the rest of my phone functions fine. I took 5 pictures to see if it was just displaying wrong, but after 5 photos, I got memory full message
Please can someone help me resolve this issue!?! Thanks!
Try changing it to Phone Memory again, then reboot.
Then change it back, and reboot.
Does it change?
hi, thanks for the quick reply. just tried what you suggested but still no luck!
I've just deleted an old video from the DCIM folder on my memory card, which was 3mb and that has given me a few extra photos available.
it seems there is an upper size limit on the DCIM folder. Maybe I could transfer all my saved pics and vids to a different folder but that is quite annoying. Has anyone else come across the DCIM folder having an upper size limit? and would it be possible to increase this?

How big was the original card? The 2Gb one?
yeah it was the 2gb one, it came with the phone from O2. Forgot to say I'm running O2's 1.43 ROM
*bump*
Still no luck on this one short of clearing my DCIM folder on the SD card. Has anyone else had issues like this when using a new memory card?

I would try and remove the DCIM folder, and let the camera app recreate it.

I've recorded a meeting with my Qtek 2020.
I've recorded for more than 35 minutes.
I've set the note recording on my SD card.
When I have stopped recording the system hanged up and I had to make a soft reset.
Now it is all OK, but no recording is on SD card and I have 90 MB of memory (storage) full (before it was only 19 MB) and I don't see any file. That's incredible.
I don't know what to do (the last thing is hard reset, but I don' want to do it).
Please, help me.
Thanks for the answer,

You could copy the data that is visible on the sd card either to your xda or your pc, then format the card, you can then copy your data back to the card, it looks like the system rceated a new file but didnt close it because the system crashed, that is what is taking up the space.
I've tried to do what you said (the problem was not solved), but I think there was a missunderstanding.
I have setted the recording on my SD Card, but now on the card there is nothing, the storage on the device is full.
I think it has created a temp file (in the storage - not storage card) that is not visible and now I don't know how to delete it.
Please, help me.
Thanks for the answer.

i'm pretty sure that total commander can show hidden files
and \temp
is a good place to start looking for a temp file
also i would suspect that a temp file would get cleared after a softreset
i doubt that ms and htc see the xda as a serious enough dictaphone to do such extreme tests like making it record for 35mins
so there could be many reasons for a crash like that
heck i'm not even sure my normal pc with all it's hd space and stuff would 100% handle a 35m recording without any issues
You can format the card by placing it in your sd card reader writer, right click on the drive/card through explorer then choose format. Or you can download a free program called storage tools and format it in the xda.
I know how to do a format of my SD card, but this is not the problem.
The problem is in the storage memory on the qtek (the storage is full, not the card).

The file appeared
Incredibly the registered file with the registered meeting appeared in my documents folder.
It was 67MB.
Thanks for your help.
Recording crashes XDA II
When I make a long recording the XDA II appears to run out of storage and crashes. A soft reset usually activates the XDA. However, I cannot get at the recording even though it takes space on the normal file storage area. It appears the recording is there but with no label to get at it. I have looked in all the folders including Temp and it is not there. When I search for files over 64k there are none. I have recorded up to about 60mg without trouble before. I do not want to do a hard reset and I would like to recover the recording in question.
How do I record directly to the storage card rahter than main storage?
Any help will be appreciated.

The other day I took a whole lot of pictures and wanted to transfer them to my laptop only to discover that they were all gone. Completely! The folder still exists but there are no pictures whatsoever. Everything else on the SD card is untouched. The pictures were there before, I looked at them on the way home.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? I'm not sure what I did wrong and how this happened.
Does anybody know how to restore those pictures? I found some programs for data recovery but none of them work with SD cards inside PPCs.
Any help would be much appreciated!

UPDATE:
I just saw that the camera saves to the device but not to the SD car at all. Anybody know how to fix this?
Hanmin: GetBackData can't be installed on the Prophet and if I install it on my laptop there is no option to restore data on a device that's plugged in. At least I didn't find any...
This happend to me too. I don't know why. I could not recover my pictures. To allow the Camera function to save new pictures in the memory card again I had to delete the already empty 'My Pictures' folder in the memory card.
I looked at the Registry and found the paths in saveto for pictures and videos were different, I edited it to point to the memory card.
Jayxz: you're supposed to use the Data Recovery software on your PC, using a memory card reader to access the card.
You should be aware though, if you've used the card at all since the problem, you may have permanently lost your data.
You can find specialist apps to go through, sector by sector, finding jpgs etc, but if the original data is corrupted, it'll be messy.

I am using dopod 818 pro with a 4GB SD card WM5 Traditional Chinese version. Everything's working fine until yesterday after taking pictures with the phone's camera I find that there is nothing stored under the storage card (My Pictures under My Documents which is the default storing location). I verified that it's not stored under my pictures in the internal memory. Then I took some more pictures, the photo count is keep decreasing (indicating that it is taking up memory on the memory card), but I couldn't find the pics anywhere in my SD card. Could anyone please help? Many thanks.

in the camera option, what is the storage destination you've set?
If I remember correctly the camera app has a problem with cards bigger then 2GB.
This may have caused it to not save the files at all or properly.
You could try accessing the card with a card reader from the PC but other than that I am not sure if anything can be done to recover your photos.
Sorry.
When I ran out of space in my device I had to change my storage to storage card. Since then I've lost a bunch of pictures I can see them right after I've taken the picture but I can't find them later in the picture gallery

If you are rooted you can give this a shot.

Gallery will have two Camera folders, one for internal & one for external, atleast thats the way it is on 4.2.2 MF9.
Have you used a file manager to see if the pictures are there & gallery just isn't updating? Could your MicroSD card to your computer to see if the files are there. Would be in DCIM\Camera in SDCard(built in storage) & extSdCard (actual MicroSD Card), long paths are /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera & /storage/extSdCard/DCIM/Camera respectively.
I found this folder. But the missing pics aren't there
So I switched back to camera for a function. But now I am out of space. When I move the pictures and movies to my sd card the gallery reads them as corrupted. What is wrong?

This didn't work.
Why isn't there much response to this?
It may not be the same cause, but a similar symptom happened on mine. I found out in a roundabout way that my 64GB SanDisk microSD is shot. The card is stuck in readonly mode. It reads fine but cannot write, and the ROM just didn't complain about it and shows stuff from short term cache. Amazon reviews and forum posting showed that there are other owners of the 64GB SanDisk microSD with the same issues, and it was due to the controller going bad.
Plug your microSD to a computer. If you can create a folder on it, then your microSD is still good and the problem is elsewhere. Good luck!
Hi everyone,
I got the latest Moto X as soon as it went public because I loved the idea of Vanilla Android with SD support. I got the 16 GB version and a 64 GB SD. Ever since I got it, the phone has been bugging me about the storage and today I finally gave in. Until today I kept my photos, music and podcasts on my SD card but the internal memory was constantly full and I couldn't install new apps. So I thought formatting the SD card under Android 6 would make it one with the internal storage. It didn't. It made it worse. I can move apps to the SD card but I can't force photos and other media to be saved there. I was hoping for internal-SD continuity and I got a total lack of control. So now I can't receive SMS and I keep having "storage is running out" notification while I still have 60 GB free on my SD card.
What's your take on this? Thanks!
Since this is about SD cards, I'm having another problem to state if OP doesn't mind. On my Moto X, when using exploring (using file explorer) the original sd card I've used for years, many folders do not show up. The same happens to a video player (RockPlayer), where it doesn't show many folders I have on my card (it did when used on my previous Atrix 2). However, when I go to "Storage & USB" and select the card, everything is normal. That means, only when viewing the sd card via "Storage & USB", all folders appear.
However, applications and games (besides gallery) will assume the first situation, where those folders remain invisible. Does anyone know what the problem actually is?
Edit: After checking, it seems that my /sdcard folder is the same as /storage/emulated/0.
Thank you.

Seems like my sdcard folder is now C601-8353 under Storage folder, along with Emulated and Self folders.

Have you tried using OpenCamera instead? It's free, open source, AND lets you choose where to store the pics. IMHO the picture quality is better too.
You could also move the pics to the card manually after you take them...

Great call, thanks for the tip.
I haven't had any problems saving photos or other media to my SD card with adoptable storage. This is something you should be able to specify in preferences whether you are using adoptable storage or not. If this doesn't work with some apps just use a file manager to move the files to the SD card.
Sometimes when I move apps to my SD Card, I would get similar messages about being out of space, even though this wasn't the case. Deleting the cache on SD card seemed to fix the problem. There can also be a problem if your SD card is too slow. However, you would probably get an alert if that was the case.
My advise erase it all internal and sd card start from a blank state the phone should give you the option to mount the sd as internal I don't like how it is implemented so I chose not to use it.
For some strange reason my phone will not read my SD card I have it formatted to internal stage and now it says searching for SD card. I'm so mad I've searched all over with no solution, I'm about to get a new phone and scrap this one, sorry I'm just very upset and I had to vent, of anyone knows of this type of issue please share.
