A few questions:
First off, I am assuming that the phone has 2 SD cards: 1 that is built in, and 1 external SD card(if you purchased one).
1) After I "unmount SD card"(assuming this is the external one that I've purchased), I go to gallery and there are 8 photos there that are labeled:
"sdcard (8)". SInce I've already "unmounted" the SD card, I'm assuming these 8 photos are saved on the phone's built in SD card. Can someone confirm that what I've said is correct?
2) After I "mount SD card", a lot more photos pop up when I go back to gallery. They are labeled as follows: 89 photos that are labeled "Camera_External (89)" and 15 photos that are labeled ""100MEDIA" (15)". Ok now I'm assuming all these 104 photos are saved on the external SD card that I've purchased. Can someone confirm this is correct?
3) How do you control which SD card(phone and external) your photos and videos get saved to?
4) How do you move photos and videos from the phone SD card to the external SD card?
5) When I sync my phone with a google account, how do I get all these photos to sync? It seems I can only get my contacts and calendar to sync.
Sorry for so many questions guys, but I do appreciate any help. Thank you in advance.
So I have 2 problems with the contacts:
1) When I go in messaging and then add a contact, all are doubled. Doing some research it seems the messaging application displays all contacts, in my case phone + sim. Now one of the solutions would be to delete the contacts from the sim, but then there's the other problem.
2) For some strange reason I cannot edit or delete contacts from the sim. I used to be able, but then I suddenly couldn't anymore. Then I did a factory reset (because of another small problem) and I was able to edit contacts. After some time it didn't allow me to do it, again...
Any ideas as to why? I don't use any third party application and don't have a google/facebook/whatever account connected. Galaxy 3 updated to Froyo.
3) I currently have a SanDisk 4GB class 2 card. It's quite old (3-4 years) and it has been formatted a couple of times. I also need more space so I'm planning to buy a new card.
I know our phone supports up to 32GB but that is really too much for me, so I was thinking to buy a 8/16 GB class 6/8/10. Any particular suggestions (brands, sizes, speeds)? I'm buying on Amazon UK.
Thanks for any help.

huh...well...for contacts: just delete them all
that are on phone...backup the ones you need with any app capable of backup contacts...then only import the ones you want from sim...and restore the ones that were on phone before & aren't doubled...
for sdcard:
i personaly use Verbatim 8Gb class 10...it's great sdcard...
what is above 8Gb...on our phone takes long time on boot up for media scanner to scan if the sdcard is filled a lot...
anyway...i'm more than happy with this one i've bought from some Slovenian online store....
I hope that helps a bit

Thanks for the reply.
What I would like to do with the contacts is edit the ones in the sim, but as I said I can't.
As for the SD card I went ahead and bought a Samsung 16GB class 10 card. It has a good price and positive reviews.
About the media scanner taking long, it shouldn't be a problem since I add only music to the card and I do it only once in a while.
My suggestion would be to open a google account.
And never worry for your contacts.
Registering takes just a couple of minutes.

There's also one another solution if you want to hide double contacts.
Go to more from the menu option select display option. open up the drop down list of sim..uncheck "all contacts."
You are done.
Also If you want to backup all your contacts select Import/ Export--> export to sd card..
You have backuped all your backups in your sd card as a vcf file.
Whenever you format/factory reset your phone and want your contacts back..go to import/export--> import from sd card .it will automatically search for vcf files in your sd card and you are done
For editing purpose you will have to use kies if its working still after flashing or else try my phone explorer its an app that will backup messages, contacts, menu, call logs etc
Hope it helped.

as already said:
open a google mail account, store your contacts online at google
-> no need to worry about loosing the contacts at next format/wipe!
For speed and classes, please have a look here.
no real need for fast and expensive cards.

The choice is yours.

Thanks guys for the replies.
I will probably link it to my google account.
Regarding the memory I already suspected it but I use my card on a card reader so class 10 makes a difference.
Hey y'all, I was just on Whatsapp, and my friend sent me an image.I saw the pic and deleted it.. Now to be quite honest with you guys, I could get in trouble for some of those images if anyone were to grab hold of my phone and go through it....eek!!
I went to my gallery and deleted the pics.. (just to be sure i went to Whatsapp folder in SD card and checked the Image folder nothing was there)
Is it safe it assume that i have safely deleted the pic.
Or is it saved in whatsapp server and can be retrived?
Also when i clear my conversation? Is it fully cleared? Or can that also be got back?
Thanks
all the messages, pics and videos are stored on your sd card...so you cannot retrieve it once deleted

Actually, you can retrieve deleted things... There are numerous applications available for that... Like recuva

I went on the camera app and set the pictures to go to my sd card but they end up just going into my internal memory. I already sent most of them to the sd card. Is there a way to automate this process? If i send all of my pictures to SD card is there a way to quick view them? Like will it appear on the photo album or google pictures app?
I have a samsung galaxy s4 which I just installed a micro sd card in to free up space on the device to upgrade to android lollipop. I moved all my photos to the sd card and now when I take a picture, the photo is automatically saved to the sd card (which is good). However, I use the picasa app which was pre-installed on the phone for organising my pictures, instead of the gallery app, as I want all the pictures to back up to google plus. The problem I'm now having is that deleting a picture in the picasa photo app does not delete the picture from the sd card! It deletes from the picasa gallery, from the stock gallery app and also from the auto backup album on google plus (which is what I want), the only thing is doesn't do is actually delete the picture from the sd card for some reason? When the photos were saved on the device it deleted the pictures from there but it doesn't seem to want to do the same thing with the sd card. This is annoying as I have to 1st delete the picture in the picasa photo app to get rid of it from the online back up album, and then go into files-all files-DCIM-camera, and then select the photo and delete it from there! Is it possible to have this sync properly again so I don't have to do this?!
Thanks
