Since re-installing my OS from stock rom, my camera wont save photos either to SD card or internal memory
I can take a photo and it even appears as a still (like its taken) but if i click on it it wont open the gallery (which it should) and theres no photo in the gallery on SD or internal????
I think it's some sort of read/write permission
Any ideas what could be wrong
It took me whole weekend to set my mobile back up from re-install so im reluctant to do it again

My photos in my gallery disappear from the gallery but when I check they are under my sd card > DCIM > so I am wonder is there a way to point my pictures so they show up all the time in the gallery? They never did this until I decided to flash which is worth it. I would bet there has to be a way to point our pics to the gallery from the sd card?
Also I have noticed my Videos does the same as well
Cheers,

Wow, weird.
What ROM are you using? Have you tried opening the pictures up through Astro or Root Explorer? Those will usually give you the option to "Open With," and you can choose the gallery. I wonder if that would make the gallery realize the pictures are there.
Also, do you have your phone plugged into USB when this happens? Maybe your sd card is mounted as a drive automatically (instead of charging only), so it's unavailable to read from the phone.
I've been playing around with the cheapo OTG Connection Kit (combo SD card reader and USB port).
I noticed something odd -- when I load an SD card (from a Nikon D50) into the SD card reader, the tablet recognizes the drive and automatically opens the file manager. I can navigate to the photo folder on the SD card, and then open individual photos (which open in the Gallery app). However, I can't swipe left or right to see the other photos. I have to exit the Gallery and then open another photo.
I was hoping that I could simply open the first photo and then swipe through the rest of the photos in the folder, as you would normally do with images. But this just doesn't seem to work when the photos on the SD card.
Any thoughts? Has anyone else experienced this, or could someone else test this out to see if they get the same result?
Anyone? I've now tested this with an SD card directly in the card reader dongle, as well as with a USB card reader plugged into the USB dongle. Neither allows you to load images on the card as a gallery (so that you can swipe left and right through the gallery). Each image must be clicked on individually and then backed out of.
Seems to me that the gallery app doesnt have any external storage mount points set into its default and I dont think you can add any. Pics are opening individually in gallery because you have that set as your default app for viewing pics. Try another gallery type app from the market or maybe search the forums for a modded one.
Thanks -- I've been thinking along those lines. I've heard good things about JustPictures! so maybe I'll start there and report back what I find.
I've the same issue... I'll try market gallery manager. Thanks
I had some partial success with JustPictures! -- it definitely was able to load the entire folder from the SD card, but when I swiped through the pics, it seemed like it wasn't quite in file name order like I expected. Not sure if it was random or some other order.
Hi everybody,
i have a problem with my Samsung S Advance with JellyMOD 4.0 and cocore kernel 6.0.
last day i lost all my camera photo, i don't know how, why...
fortunally i restore my camera photos with diskdigger. ( i use a lot of times the stock camera )
now my question is:
1) can i save my camera photos in phone memory and sd card memory in the same time? like a raid.
so when i get a new photo, this photo will be stored in 2 different place and the risk to lost all one more time is zero.
2) i tried also to select external micro sd in stock camera but in option or settings in camera, i can select only internal memory phone, i don't understand why, i tried to formatted micro sd, wipe cache, wipe dalvik without success, but in settings and memory i can see my micro sd empty and with a file manager i can explorer my sd, put files etc, so it works... strange
i hope that someone can help me, i won't use apps lik dropbox that store my personal photos in internet, i take care about my privacy.
Hello,
I suggest you create a backup of your pictures you take using your phone camera on your computer in case this happens again. Your camera photos should be located in the default DCIM folder. I understand how weary you are of using Dropbox, but I've found the service to be very safe for remotely storing your data. Currently, I'm using Google Drive to back up my things.
I recommend you give it a try.
Many times a simple problem turns complex....... like now.
I take many photos on my phone, dSLR, GoPro, MavicPro, etc. and always shoot RAW. I do my post processing in Lightroom and Photoshop. On my S8+ I discovered LR is not importing the .DNG files. I find out it seems they need to be in the Camera Roll and I configured the stock camera to store them on the SD. I'm using the promo 256GB Samsung SD.
OK. I'll poke around with a file manager. In the rocess I find and try to delete an old folder. It asks for permission to access, I think no problem I've seen this many times before. HOWEVER, I can not grant permission the SD does not appear on the permissions screen!! Then I try a different software and see that the card is defined differently. One software even has it as a USB drive. Another simply calls it "Storage". In any case, I can't do much with it. The system seems to access it just fine in most cases.
I think OK I'll re-format it, dead end. How about merging it with the internal storage to have one huge single place for storage (not my favorite way since I may need to read the SD in a different device in case of a failure), this would solve my Lightroom issue as then I save .DNGs to the internal Camera Roll, nope.
I know I'm rambling.
The questions are:
Can this big SD be merged with the internal storage? Is there a size limit or is that not possible any more?
Anyone else using Lightroom Mobile and shooting RAW? What is your workflow?
I'm using the HTC Gallery app and it seems to be working ok. However, when I delete photos and videos they appear deleted, then when I restart the phone, they're all back. Anyone have this issue? They're all stored on the SD card that I took out of my M9...
My guess: the HTC Gallery is not installed as a system app, so it doesn't have write access to the SD card. This is a restriction in place since Android 4.4 (Kitkat). Since Lollipop a workaround is available, but apps need to be aware of it. The restriction does not apply to system apps, and HTC Gallery is "used" to be a system app and not having to worry about this restriction (which is why it worked on your M9). Just guessing...
You can try and check if this also happens with pictures in the internal storage. If my guess is correct, that should work.
