Hello
My note saves data to the phone memory.
Such as for example if I edit a photo with Snappspeed or Photo Editor.
The edited photos get saved to my phone memory by default.
From within the apps themselves, I cannot select default save location.
Like in the camera, you can select to have images saved to your external card not the internal one.
I ask because my internal memory is pretty full.
Its full because I transfer photos from my DSRL (Canon 5D MKII) to the Note 3 and then process them on the Note 3.
The files are pretty big as you can imagine.
I don't like the idea of manually moving them from the internal memory to the external one. Its inconvenient.
Let me guess, you're on KitKat.
Nope.
I never updated.
On jellybean 4.3
Hm. (KitKat removes write access to SD for 3rd party apps)
Odd, Snapseed indeed only has an option to select the photosize.
I think you could let tasker automatically move files from one folder to another. Not exactly the perfect solution, but it's a roundabout way.
Also, I won't even bother asking why on earth you would use the really, really limited Snapseed app on the Note 3 as opposed to the full ColorEFEX on the PC. Particularly with a 5DMKII, what a waste... Editing a full-frame on a smartphone... Such a waste of such an excellent camera... (Ignore me, I'm a photographer and photoshopper, I can get a little obsessed about these things.)
What does the 'move app to sd card'option do?
I user snapspeed for casual photo sharing.
For dslr photos I use Photo Mate R2.
I user photo mate r2 on my Note 3 with my dslr photos because I don't own an up to date desktop or laptop. Just an iPad & note 3.
Plus the photos I take are for casual use. So no need for pixel peeping monitors.

I have lots of photos on my memory card, they dont seem to appear on the photo viewer with the touch interface:-( Do I have to move all of them internally?
I Can access them only via file explorer, I can still view them there and do a slide show but no touch zoom, pan etc..
Of course I dont want to be moving all of them in to internal mem, that would defeat the purpose of buying a higher capacity mem. If I can access pics and media externally then im getting an 8 gig pronto
just a small reminder to use the search function ;-)
... move all photos to the folder DCIM on your storage card and it will work.
do not forget to use the search function next time ;-)
Sorry, found the answer earlier right here also, thanks and again my apologies.
Let's say I have a folder of images on my SD card that I don't want showing in the pictures app. Is there a way (besides chmod 000 on the folder) to make it so the images are no thumbnailed?
Yeah, sure, make jokes about adult photos being on the phone, but there is an actual use. I use my phone as a thumb drive of sorts, and I carry all my apps on it when fixing peoples computers. Having all the apps, majority of them having images in the folders, fills up the pictures app with thumbnails of things I don't want there. All I want to see are the pictures I take, or want to be there, not program icons and the like.
So, anyone got any ideas?

The best way that I know of is to rename the folder with a period in front like ".foldername" and then reboot the phone. The folder will then be hidden from the pictures app and they shouldn't show up. However some apps like 1cast load TONS of thumbnails that show up when you are trying to change your wall paper for an example and it can cause a long time to load all of the pictures depending on how much you have. Based on personal experience when setting my wallpapers with Locale, for example, I've had to wait almost 5 minutes for all of my pictures to load just so I can find the one that I want. If you find a better way, I'd like to know it.
Hey all -
I've been a long-time iOS user, and recently picked up my first Android device in about 4 years. I'm using (and absolutely loving) the Aquos Crystal 306SH on Boost's network, and have some probably basic questions for you guys.
The XDA device section for the Crystal shows the device has 8GB internal storage - mine only seems to have 4GB. Is this normal?
I have already eaten up every bit of the 4GB internal storage, and realized NOTHING has touched my 16GB SD card. I've found no settings to change storage locations. Can any of these items be stored on SD card by default?
Camera pictures & videos (I am using Google Camera now, but if the default camera app can auto save files to the SD then I'll gladly switch back to that)
Screenshots (I love this ClipNow tool, by the way. Wow)
Apps from Play Store or independently installed apps via .apk file
Downloads
Cache/Temp Files
Is it possible to change the color of the LED light on front of device (for calls, notifications, etc)?
Thanks for any help that can be given, I appreciate it. No longer can take photos or download apps

The 306sh has 8GB of internal storage, but the Os and bloatware leaves you with just 4gb of usable space.
Photos and videos can be toggled between internal and external storage in the camera settings. Pretty sure it goes to external by default as long as ones detected.
Apps must be saved onto internal storage, they can only be saved to external once root is obtained, which it is not for this phone. So for now just media on external sadly.
Cache and temp files are stored internally, I'd recommend an app cleaner to keep phone clear of gunk, clean master is a good one
File manager app (es file explorer there is no sub for non rooted phones) will allow you to easily transfer files between internal and external.
Only 3rd party apps will change the led color, it is possible but I can't remember what it's called, though I will recommend nova launcher as your launcher (makes it look a lot better and you can load custom icons for apps, though it does suck a little more battery.
Hope this helps, transition might not be smooth from an iPhone, but give it time you'll see why androids better.
Hi I just picked up the Aquos 306SH and was looking around for some mods and root tools when I saw your thread. I was on iOS for years until I found android phones and I'll never go back to apple.
The aquos is such a nice phone. Congrats on your purchase.
The led color application I have been using on NY droids for years and now on my aquos is Light Flow Lite and it works perfect. It takes about 15 minutes to get it set up just how you like since it has tons of options and settings but once its saved its exactly what you are looking for.
As far as storage, its definitely limited to the 4gbs until we obtain root access but it should be here soon so stick around XDA forums for updates!
Hope this info helped.
Cheers!

I'm noticing that I'm building up Image data even though I'm deleting every picture I take off of the device once it's uploaded to the cloud. However when I check the SD card storage the pictures are still there. Thumbnails as well. Hire can I fix this?
Bueller.... Bueller?
So far I've tried deleting data from Photos camera, and media storage to no avail.
I'm thinking it might have to do with the trash holding photos for 60 days before permanently deleting.

Not sure if you've done this, but with newest version of photos, you can go into Settings and select Free Up Space and then it'll look for already uploaded photo to the cloud and remove it from your device. I do this about every 2 weeks to free up the device. I recommend cross reference the photos between app and photos.google.com to make sure. Also have NAS locally to back it up too.
For some reason, I seem to be running out of space on my 128gb version of the OP5.
As you can see from the screenshots, System data shows as 28.8gb and in the Storage + Memory it states other is 38gb . This can't be true as the largest folder is my DCIM folder which is 36.8gb which is accounted for in the "Images and Videos" section.
I've had a look through myself at various folders and just don't understand where this 28.8gb is. My friend who also has a OP5 has this value at around 6 gb which is understandable for the OS, but this can't be typical as owners of the 64gb model would be complaining about this for sure.
Any suggestions? I'd rather not convert to uploading all my images to google photos to save space.

Thanks for the input but I realised there was an update for the app I was using to calculate storage use in terms of support for Oreo. I was under the impression Spotify was taking up 10-15gb of usage, but in actual fact it was just over 30gb. This clears things up.
Use this:

Used it once to know what took space on an S6 Edge when S Voice took 9 GB for nothing. You should be able to see what's the curlprit.
