Recording failed with problems!

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,
Urosh

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.

Camera capacity

I have a problem with camera and availability of free space for photos. On storage card I have 4GB of free space and camera shows that I can make 6 photos only. Camera has set Storage card for store photos. Main memory shows 270 photos, Storage card with 4GB of free space shows 6 photos only...
SOLVED: SD CARD TUNE FIX was reason. After uninstall everything looks o.k. Currently I can take 730 photos and store it on Storage card.

not sure if this is the answer but sometimes with external storage when you delete somthing it goes into the recycle bin so is still there. try pluging in the storage card to your computer then emptying the recycle bin. (the recycle bin on your computer/desktop)
if not i dont have a clue, you could try copying all your important files off the card then format it.

just saw this thread by another person who seems to have a better answer:

Had the exact same problem......copied some more files to the HD to go over 4GB (half full) and camera says now it can take several thousands of pix again....
Never tried on my 16GB card, since it´s already more than half full.....so yes, seems to be a bug on the HD

Yes, it should be a bug. My first opinion that SD Tune fix is reason was wrong. I tested, when I fill up over 4GB my Storage Card, then I can take more over 5 thousand photos again. I reported this bug to HTC, might somebody else could report this bug to HTC...

New memory card creating camera issue - Please help!

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.

Try out "Update for HTC HD2 SD Card Storage Cards" at: http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=0&dl_id=825

hey thanks for the replies guys. Just installed the storage card update from HTC and that has fixed the issue. Forgot about that update so thanks for the heads up

Internal/SD storage mess

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.

New Guy, Questions/Issues w/SD Card & Apps, Etc

Hi everyone,
Long time iPhone user who finally made the switch (first iPhone in 2007 all the way through iPhone 6 last year but wanted to try a new platform -- plus was getting very tired of the cookie cutter'ness of iOS).
I've had my Galaxy S7 Edge for a week now and couldn't be happier.
However I have experienced an issue (that I resolved) and would like some thoughts & opinions from those of you with far more Android & Samsung Galaxy experience than I have.
Okay, I'll outline exactly what happened...
1. Been shooting a video nightly (for a FB awareness project) with zero problems but the other day my micro SD card arrived (SanDisk Ultra 200gig Micro SD XC I) and after installing it (no issues, phone booted perfectly, found the card, all was well) I shot that evening's video. However when I went to play it back before uploading it to FB the video played for the 30 seconds and I got a pop-up window saying "Unknown Error, try Again". So I did, and each time I tried playing it the same thing would happen... 30 seconds in, error window, rinse/repeat. So I deleted the video and reshot a new video. On this video, it would play for 3 seconds and I'd get a pop-up with, "Incorrect Data Try Again"... tried playing this new video a few more times before deleting it and starting over.
**worth mentioning: on both of the videos I also opened up my stock Samsung video editor, and using the slider for trimming videos I was able to move the slider past the 30 second mark on the first video, and past the 3 second mark on the 2nd video, and then both played fine (within the video editing feature only~~I tried playing them both outside the editor again and they wouldn't: #1 up to just 30 seconds and #2 just to 3 seconds--precisely like before**
I rebooted my phone and then shot yet another video, it played fine and uploaded onto FB perfectly.
So, does anyone have any ideas? I searched around Google and found many posts regarding camera issues on the S7 but nothing regarding video playback errors.
Could it have been my SD card?
Which now leads to question two...
2. A bit later that same evening I read an article and watched a couple YouTube videos on copying/transferring photos from the S7 internal drive to an external... so I successfully did that with some photos as well as creating a couple folders on the SD card as well.
I then read and watched some other articles and videos on moving apps from the internal to external drive.
Following the tutorials I noticed some apps had the option to be relocated while some did not. Two that I thought would be good to relocate were Facebook and Facebook Messenger (I looked in my Storage screen and after everything populated I noted that those two apps were using more space than any other app so I thought I'd relocate them).
They both relocated fine, the screen showed them both as now located on the external drive.
I closed out of Settings and then went to my desktop and clicked on my FB icon, the screen froze, and then the phone began to reboot.
For the next 20 minutes my phone stayed in Boot Loop and either would reboot to a black screen or my lock screen with the time & date as well as a message at the bottom of the screen showing I was connected to my home wifi and then lock up and reboot again.
Using my laptop I Googled how to fully shutdown my phone. I restarted/shutdown the phone a few more times--all resulting in endless Boot Loops before powering down and popping the tray and removing the SD card... was then VERY relieved, upon putting the tray back in with just my SIM card & powering back up, to see that the phone restarted beautifully.
FB & Messenger were missing from my phone's desktop (that seemed understandable) as well as some photos that I didn't copy but had instead transferred (understandable as well).
I took the SD card and put it into an adapter and plugged all that into my laptop to see what was on the SD card..
A very large folder labeled Android, another labeled LOST.DIR and two that I had created for my photos.
So has anyone else experienced this? If my SD card was bad wouldn't the phone have not read it or not been able to store data on it? Also, if the card was bad why can my laptop find and read it?
In the end I copied the two photo folders onto my laptop (interesting to note: one of the two photo folders that I created on my S7 couldn't for the most part be copied to my laptop because most of the photos were corrupted in that folder--however, they had all been viewable on my S7 earlier that day... and yes, these same photos were transferred over from my iPhone a few days earlier at the Verizon store) while I deleted the Android & LOST.D IR folders off the SD card... I am debating between the following actions:
A. Returning the SD card for another new one.
B. Putting the SD card back into my S7 now that it's been cleared of all the folders and see what happens.
C. Putting the SD back into my S7, formatting it, and then putting some photos & videos on it to see what happens.
In all events I am seriously leaning toward not ever putting apps on this or any SD card in my phone after what occurred--thoughts on that?
Any help, input or explanations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading all this (sorry it's so long but I wanted to include as much info as possible)...

Are you given proper write access to SD card.?If not at first download fx file from play store ...from setting select enable write access to SD card. A menu will appear,from right top select 3 dot menu select show all storage and then from menu select your memory card and after that select the correct sign on the bottom. Also in the camera app you select save option to SD card right. I am using a SanDisk 128gb SD card without any issues. All my Blu-ray movies are there also my photos and recorded videos no issues.

Thanks for your reply. Could you explain what you mean by "given proper write access to the SD card"? Also, not sure what I am to download from the Play Store, could you tell me more on that too?
Thank you,

In Android ( maybe also in ios, no experience with ios) you can grant and revoke access for almost everything. In this case what is being asked if you could download fx file explorer from the play store.
Navigate to your SD card. Top right accessories the option and click on give access, see attachement.
This way you would restore permissions for Android to write to your external SD card.
This might fix your problem.

Is there any way to shoot video -with a SD card installed- and have it save (default) to the internal storage... and the move it to the SD card later (via FX File)? I ask because I've enabled Write Access for my SD card through FX (went great), checked the new SD card on my laptop (worked great), formatted it as well (on my S7), and I am still receiving popups for "Video Playback Failed, Unknown Reason" in any video longer then 30 seconds up to 3 minutes in length. Super frustrated.

I am no expert. But the fault sounds to me more like a software problem the a hardware problem. Have you tried playing it with video Lan? And if that fails make an Android backup. Try a fresh install of the rom and try again see if the problem persists

It's an app, a video player that understands and plays almost every video format.
Personally I ( and a lot of other people) say m if videolan can't play it, forget it

Try to install in normally. On your local drive. And see if that's works. Move to SD is just another thing which could cause for errors.

The new video player app had trouble playing the video as well.
Think the issue might be solved though... called Samsung and was told very apologetically, "200 & 256 gig SD cards have not been strategically optimized for S7 & S7 Edges yet. Using either size card is very hit and miss with the firmware to date."
They strongly urged not going any larger than 128 gigs.
I ordered a 128 gig SD earlier today, dumped the contents of the 200 gig onto my laptop and am returning it to Amazon.
I'll report back after I take delivery and install the new card.
Thank you again-
