Hello, since this is my first phone came without MicroSD card. So, I took off the 16gig SD from my Droid X then formatted it on my RAZR M. Took a pictures and video and all those stuff aren't saving to SD... They all automatic saving toward to internal SD like it supposed to do.
Is there anyway I can make it automatic saving stuff to external SDcard instead of internal card?
Thanks

I carried over a folder called DCIM (photo folder for old phone) and when I tested the camera, on this phone, it automatically created a folder called Camera within the DCIM folder and saved the shots there.
The DCIM folder is already created on my SDcard as well as the Camera folder in DCIM... Gonna try restart my phone and see if that help.
EDIT- New picture still saved internal card. Not the external card...
NINJA EDIT- Nevermind! Got it fixed. It's in camera setting. Click the gear and you will see "Storage Location"
I have always used "gallery" to view pictures that I have stored on my external micro SD card. This new ATT galaxyS4 doesn't allow it. It only displays pictures that are stored on the internal SD card.
I got root and use an app called "root explorer" is the only way to view the pictures I have stored, which is ok but there is no slide show function in root explorer.
I postponed the update that came in over the airwaves, but it processed last night while asleep. I don't see any difference except it's not rooted anymore. Gallery is still limited to viewing only the onboard chip that's full of bloatware.
Does anyone else notice gallery not seeing the external SD?

External SD works fine for me also.
Works fine for me as well.

Storage and reading of the external SD card for pictures works great for me.
One thing to note if you are having problems with the gallery, is to reformat the SDCard in the phone.
I was getting laggy gallery images, and a high battery drain from the Gallery.
Reformatting the SD card cleared up all my problems!
When you open gallery, hit menu and content to display. Make sure all is selected.

Is there anyway to save all downloaded pictures/screenshots to the SD card? I wiped my phone the other day and my downloaded pictures got deleted because it was in Internal Storage

If you use stock browser anything downloaded will go to external sd. Camera also asks you to save pictures on external sd when inserted, if not it can be changed in camera settings.

If you save a picture that was texted to me, it saves internally rather than on the SD card. Is there is anyway to fix this?

I stuck a different 32 gb class 10 microSD chip in the external memory slot and gallery started working finally.
So I assume the chip I've always used needs formatting sounds like.
Thank you for the feedback.
I have a similar issue as OP. I have a 64gb Sandisk SDXC, and it came straight over from the S3 and the S4 gallery didn't see my pix from the card either nor the music player see all my music. I have to format the card in the phone then copy everything over from pc to phone via usb for the gallery and music player to see what's on my ext card. Then the phone restarted by itself, and it says the sd card is damaged, then the OTA update came just in time, updated, amd magically the Sd card was fixed, now it only see select videos and images and still none of my music. If it's in the inter sd then it's fine.
Do you guys think my sd card is shot?

It sure sounds like it. My chip still works, all I did was use the computer to format it.
The only way to tell is get another chip and put some files on it for a test.
It ticks me off they don't even populate the external SD slot with a cheap chip like they used to. ATT phones used to come with a one or two gigabyte capacity bottom dollar chip for free but alas they got even more greedy!

I used foldermount and moved the DCIM folder to the external sd, so all the setting have it looking at the mounted folder on the internal card, even the burst shots are stored right onto the external. the longer I've had foldermount, the happier i am with it. endless possibilities!
Not sure if the camera app has the option to save to sd card. Or do we have to manually do it ourselves.
if its pure Android, then the camera app will have a storage setting to int/ext sd

I was about to create a thread. Since I have seen this thread similar to what I wanted to post, I am sharing how I am using external SD to save images taken using Google Camera.
It is very simple and easy using the app Foldersync (I am using pro version to have unlimited folder pairing).
Here is the play store link for Lite version LINK
Use of this app is mainly to transfer files to cloud server but does the job to copy / move from internal memory to external SDcard.
You can see sample screenshot attached.
Yes, you can save pictures to the SD card directly from the stock camera app. If you bring out the side menu while in the viewfinder, scroll down and you'll see a little SD card icon. Tap that, and choose SD card instead of internal storage.
No need for a third party app.

The question was how to push images taken from Google camera in to external sdcard without manual copying process from folder to folder. Also, it can be used to move any periodical update on to internal memory to external sdcard (eg. anything downloaded which saves in to internal memory under Download folder).

I didn't see "Google Camera" anywhere in the original question. I just see this:
Subject: Can the camera app save pics to SDcard?
Thread: Not sure if the camera app has the option to save to sd card. Or do we have to manually do it ourselves.
In this case, my directions are what the OP needs to do in order to save photos directly to the SD card.

No I've checked. Not sure why it doesn't show. But they are saving to the card.

Are you using adaptive storage for your card?

It's also resetting apps saved to the card. It changes from Swiftkey backnto stock keyboard and I'll have to put passwords back in things like Facebook. Bad card maybe?
If you are using adaptive storage for your SD card, which it sounds as if you are, then you will not get the option on the camera app. Adaptive storage makes the SD card essentially like an extension of your internal storage therefore recognizes only internal storage. There are no other storage options to choose from.

It sounds like you are using adoptive storage on your SD card. I use adoptive storage and don't have any issues with it, the camera does save to the SD card for me and I do not have the option to change that in the camera app since the system shows the card as internal storage. So like aybarrap1 said, you will not see the option in the camera app.
The other issues you are having are strange. I suppose your card could be going bad. Do you have a fast card? Perhaps it is too slow and that is why you are having issues with apps saved to it.
Slow cards could cause apps to be flaky. I personally don't use adoptive storage yet. Waiting on the fast cards (90+ read and write speeds) to hopefully come down in price. Since internal storage is not an issue for me ATM, I'm not really stressing it.
I also using adoptive sd card but pics and videos are being saved in internal memory instead external ,actually I don't understand this new feature I still have 2 different memory internal and external,even I'm running out of memory help please
PS I have a 64gb Samsung card so is not slow is the one that came with my s7 edge I'm guessing is good speed

Oh that was SO the right answer. Thank you!
My Moto X Pure does not show the option to save on SD card either. I have all the other options in the user manual except the SD card. It runs Android 6.0 and uses SanDisk Extreme PLUS microSDXC UHS-1 64 Gb card.
When I download files they are stored automatically to the internal storage, is there a way to download files to my external SD card automatically?
Haven't received my phone yet so I can't answer your question directly but you could use Redirect (Pro) from Play Store to move and sort them after they are downloaded

The SD card is NOT for read/write access in this phone. Its solely for pics you may already have on the card and or stored music. Once you put the sd card in the phone allows you to save any new pics and videos to SD card. Unless you root, you cannot use the sd card the way you're trying to use it.

Not quite true, speaking for the global model, go into settings , then applications followed by application manager, tap on the application you want to move, then tap on storage and finally you will see the change dialogue. This will give you the option to move to sd
Sorry im only speaking of the us model with snapdragon 820.

Hmmm, thanks for the awnsers, I have Exynos btw, yeah moving apps is an option but might slow down the performance.
I actually mean downloading files from internet, onedrive etc. everytime I download documents and images I have to move them manually to my SD card.�� That's a pity, but I have to deal with it or use a third party app.
I'm using the Canadian carriers snapdragon 820 and can move some, not all app data to sd card.
Settings, storage, used, apps.
For the most part the larger apps will allow me to move data to sd card

Yeah, I might try that, I have a fast SD (Samsung pro +) and I see no need to remove my SD card.
Is anyone using their Nokia 6 with an SD card?
How does it work? well? Can you move pictures/videos/documents to the SD easily?
what size SD? micro?
Thanks!
I have a 200gb microSD card in my US Nokia 6. All my apps can read files on the card, but because I set it up as removeable storage instead of simulated internal storage (it asks you to choose after you insert the card), only apps that know to request special permission can write to the SD card. Most file managers I've tried can handle writing to it, other apps like text editors are more hit and miss.
I think if I had set it up differently it might work with more apps, but I was worried that would result in it being encrypted and getting cluttered with random data files from every app. If root is ever figured out with this phone then I should be able to have better control of which apps can write to the SD card.

It is easy to use. When I taking photo, all image files stock on SDCARD.

Can it read more than 200gb? I'm thinking of shelling 256gb max but might go for 128gb or 200gb for sandisk as I have files need to be moved. I keep looking at websites that the phone can only support of upto 128gb. thank you
I'm using a class 10 32GB SanDisk SD card with mine and it runs smoothly. I can move a lot of files at once to it and expect transactions to be generally quick. Make sure to set it up as external media otherwise you'd simply be merging the card with your internal storage and won't be able to control what goes into your card. Root is a must for this phone it seems.
