SD photo storage - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have set my camera up to save photos straight to the sd card but it still seems to be taking up internal storage. When I look at the photo details it appears to be using sd card storage.
Any ideas why this is?
Thank

Go to the camera app. Tap the menu button, (left of home) then tap settings, the tap the gear on top, scroll down to the bottom and where it says storage, clock memory card

I have done this and it does say memory card but looks to be taking up internal storage as well!

You may want to move your photos from your internal storage to your SD card so it won't take up so much space on the device's storage.

SD Card Notifications

Any way to turn this off? Its usually in the sounds menu but its not there with the Atrix. I hate that sound at boot and I like having an extra 8 gigs of available storage in my card.
Would love to turn this off also. Not finding "SD Card Notifications" in Sounds...
My girl friend loves it when I plug in my phone to my laptop when she's sleeping and it blasts out my notification. In this case the atrix's crazy good speakers are a negative lol.

SIM card too short

Hi guys,
I've just received my Nexus (under the Christmas tree). Obviously, I tried to put my handmade cut SIM Card, but it's too short. As I'm in holiday, isn't there anyway to make my Nexus recognize it ? (See Pics) I'll buy a new one later but I'd like to have a phone during these holidays,
Thanks a lot

You could try to insert it and see what happens .
I obviously tried, but the SIM Card isn't detected.

we are on the same boat. I don't think there's any other way other than getting a replacement sim.
Check whether you are inserting SIM from right side

Try putting a small spacer in the back of the sim. For the live of all things Android don't put something that will fall out and get lodged.
I have a Micro sim in my Galaxy Nexus without an adapter with no issues at all. I just centered it. The connectors themselves are the correct size, just centering it is the trick

Another tip for you: after inserting the sim card, reboot your device. It won't detect a new sim when it's on.
If it doesn't work, take the sim out, wiggle it a little, and put it back in, and reboot again. This is how I eventually got it to work after a lot of encouragement from a friend, and after at least ten times of trying . I'm assuming you're putting the card in in the right way, but just to confirm: the chip side of the sim should go towards the back of the phone.
So I,m indeed putting it the good way.
Then I'll try tickling it to make it work

Edit : is the chip more toward the center of the phone or toward the outside ?

It depends on the device. The Galaxy Nexus needs to sit about 1/3 down and slightly to the left.
I'd find a picture of a normal sim and compare it to yours and find where your missing the gap

Here's a picture of a regular micro sim in my sim tray. It should help with positioning your chip. You can also put some tape (the thin stuff, like this) on the tray, then position the sim card on it at the right spot. It won't be able to move because of the tape.

I feel that every SIM card has it's own positioning of the golden plates. Mines was more towards the top left edge of the card. Not all of them are done equally.

Yeah but they should all be fairly universal. Otherwise adapters wouldn't work

Probably. When I was cutting my regular-sized SIM and compared it to another regular sized (wanted to try the cut on a extra SIM card i had laying around before I did it to my real one first) and noticed the two gold were on different parts of the card.
Worked fine for me on the cut though.
Just cut one good, the chip was bigger than mine and longer but it fits and works. Still, I have to try to put mine

Fixed took me a bit but I did it with tape.
When I'll come back I'll get a true micro Sim

How about just using the micro Sim that comes with the phone.

Im not sure whether you got it from the store but by buying the phone from the play store doesn't include a sim card in the box.

Exactly, no Micro SIM coming with it.

Holy fail Google. So they expect all of us to cut our old Sim card to fit their device, how professional not to mention that a lot of old Sim cards are not even considered 4G. I bought mine from a retail store and I made sure the phone came with a sim

Try restore to factory settings, otherwise replace the whole camera, its not so expensive http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-samsung-galaxy-s4-gt-i9505-back-camera.html

Did you drop your phone recently?
Try to update the frameware using "Kies". if it didn't help, its probably hardware issue, return it to the seller.
Before i even dropped it it's already like that. and no i dont want to buy a replacement for the rear camera cos i only bought this phone for like a month ago

Okay so guys. Ummm. More pictures are becoming corrupted. THIS IS REALLY ANNOYING. Please i need answers and help

If the live image on screen looks OK I would say you probably have a faulty SD card.
Do you store images on ext SD? If so change the storage location to internal SD and see if it still happens. Or vise versa.
Maybe try backing up data and formating internal or ext SD to see if it helps.

[Q] Pictures from my galery with grey line / drug effects

Hi,
I have a problem viewing pictures on my S4. I tried from my cell's galery and I also tried to xfer them on my computer and I still have the same problem.
On some pictures, I have a big grey line. On some pictures, two sections of the pictures are not at the good position. I was thinking that it was an old LSD flashback :cyclops: but it's not.
You can see 2 pictures with problems. (I know, I have a weird cat ! )
Do you think that my SD card is dying ? Do you have some ideas ?
Thanks !
Change where it saves the pictures internal SD to external card or vice versa. See if that improves things.
Otherwise I would suspect your camera sensor could be having issues.

Hi, I tried to change where it saves the pictures but I can't know if the probleme is solve or not. I have more than 1000 pictures on my SD card and when I take pictures, I never see these grey lines. But when I look back to my pictures some days later, then some pictures have grey line. It's never when taking a picture.
Thx
Does the same Grey line show up when they are viewed on a pc? It kind of looks like when I have recovered jpeg files from a dieing hard drive. If you don't get all the pieces back then it can show a grey line like that.

I uploaded one of these pic on my dropbox yesterday. I saw the same grey lines on the computer. That's why I think that my SD have some problem. I just want to be sure before buying an other sd ( 50$ ) !
Yep. I would say that SD card is starting to get corrupted. Time for a replacement.

Pictures not ending up on SD card

Hi,
Even with setting the storage to SD option on in the camera, it keeps storing the new pictures on the internal storage. Any idea why?
Do you shooting in raw?
By enable raw shooting, all picture shot in pro mode will end up in internal storage.

So there's no way to shoot in RAW and store on external storage? That's so odd, those dng files are huge!
