[Q] cannot get camera to place pictures and videos on sd card - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

first off, i do hope it has not been covered anywhere else, my searches did not find any answer.
I am currently running PA JB 1.991
all is fine and dandy, but i can't seem to make my note put pictures it takes to the external SDcard (who named the internal memory sdcard anyway ? )
in the past i thought there was a setting for this, but i cannot find it anymore in this version.
any help will be greatly appreciated !

cant help with original Q, but good point, why name sdcard confusingly sdcard. Its like inviting us to hack hardware and place bigger sdcard in. However, that is not possible, because I dont think it even litterally is an SD card, lol. Probably a workaround in android. Who knows.

This is what I did using stock ICS: Open camera as if you were going to take a photo. See the settings icon at top of screen? Scroll through until right near the end and you will see "storage". Make your choice. Hope that helps

that's indeed what i did in the past, but in the JB camera app there does not seem to be such an option ...
would it be ok for me to install the ics camera app onto my gnote while running JB ?

[Q] Camera app

So after having gone through 5 different camera apps that won't use the front facing camera and also switch to video mode, it's getting frustrating install and uninstalling.
The stock camera works but is sloooooow.
What camera apps have y'all installled from the market that you like and works well with the FFC and switching to video mode?

Thanks! Just flashed it.
So much better. Takes about a second and a half to 2 seconds from first tapping the icon for it to be ready to take pics. Then somewhere between a second and two seconds to take the pic.
That's a huge improvement and takes away my need for another camera app.
Thanks given!
I tried it out, went from a 5 second launch to a 3 second launch. So any improvement is welcome.

Everything on this I thought was great until I went to look at my gallery. The resolution is way whacked out on viewing photos/icons/etc in my gallery.
How do I undo the mod? Do I just delete the apk?
The more I think about this, the more it irks me. Do they not have a QA person that checks things? I mean, c'mon, 5+ more seconds to start up and then the terrible delay on snapping pics. Well, unless your idea of a good camera is it takes long enough so you can make a pot of coffee and drink a couple cups.

I don't have problem but you can always undo it
copy zip file file to your SDcard unzip it using root explorer copy mediaprofile.xml and TicameraCameraProperties.xml
to your etc folder using root explorer and restart the phone
that will undo it
I can confirm that this mod doesn't work on gingerbread
wait is the resolution problem recurring? Or was it just for that guy.

Pics Not visible in DCIM folder(HELP!!!)

Folks,
Need help urgently
I am having issues with accessing pictures in my DCIM folder. They show up fine on the phone in the gallery and the path location of the pictures shows that they are the DCIM--> Camera folder, but while plugging the phone through USB, I can't see any of the pictures in the folder..If I take a current picture I'll be able to see that, but all my old pictures I'm unable to see them, even though they appear fine in the phone through gallery..
I've tried installing different ROM's to see if there was an issue with the ROM, but I don't think that's the case.
Could someone please help

1. Search in the Paranoid thread if en error like this happened before
2. Safe the pics and other import files on the ext sd card and from sd card safe them to a PC
3. Check if you have the same problem with your ext sd card
4. After the backup format your internal card and try again
5. Install a stock Rom and try
Good luck

Ive had that problem before;
They do get saved in dcim.
However mtp is the buggy protocol that doesnt rescan the folder properly.
Switching to ums (mass storage) fixes this.
Search the paranoid thread for the apk that allows you to switch to ums.
Goodluck.

Dear All,
I know that this thread is old, however the issue is still relevant today for those with older phones and I wanted to share my solution for those that need help.
I had the same issue on my partner's phone where the pictures were seen when looking through the Android phone's file manager but when connecting to a PC, the files were not seen when looking through either MS File Explorer or another file manager (Directory Opus). This meant that we could not copy the pictures from the phone to the PC by plugging the phone into the PC using a USB cable (including ensuring that the mode of connecting was for file transfer or MTP as opposed to 'charging only').
I found this website and Anthropostar's notification that the code could be buggy which led me to try other solutions,.
The solution found that worked was using the software called MyPhoneExplorer (which I have used before for synchronizing contacts). I appreciate that there were issues on the past with this software and the way the person generated income, however all adware is now removed from the software and I recommend trying the software and if you find it useful then donate out of politeness as the developer has request financial help politely. Using the software I was able to connect to the phone in question, locate the files and then my partner has transferred nearly all the files over to the PC. There is an issue with 4 files, which I need to look at today, but the bulk of the 9GB pictures was moved.
I hope that this solution helps others as my partner's phone was not Samsung but another make called One+.
Best of luck.
If you have a sim card in your tablet or phone the pictures will be saved to that and not to the DCIM folder in phone memory.

How to make photos clearer with the stock camera app?

Change quality from superfine to 100%
:angel:
Well, all the CM and AOSP roms don't have the same picture/video quality as stock 4.1.2.
Contrast, levels, sharpness, color balance, white point, it's all off in certain light conditions. Video is perfectly fine, but only under well lit scenes, when you don't have as good light, the camera apps don't boost the brightness/levels to make the scene visible, unlike stock 4.1.2. Let me be very clear: if you're taking pictures or video in clear sunlight, then it's not much of a problem. It's when you leave the sunlight that stock 4.1.2 is easily superior in picture quality compared to the other roms. Again, nothing that can't be fixed if you're handy with photoshop or other decent image editing tools. Just a little more work to get nice pictures off the bat.
I think once CM and AOSP roms' bugs are ironed out (since we have sources and devs can have a look at how it's done, not using the leaked code for legal reasons), another point of work could be porting whatever camera processing stock 4.1.2 does back into the camera files of these roms.
Of course I'm just a user and not a developer and my post may come across as a request.. I'd say it's constructive criticism, for the future. For those who don't use their phone much as an imaging device, it's not that big of an issue, the performance increase of these roms is worth it. Again, nothing that some photoshop can't fix, nothing that some premiere editing can't fix either.

1.The option isn't there.
2.In CM 11 even when checking that,the photos still come unfocused while de flash isn't on.I tried touch to focus,everything,and the final photo still isn't focused with the stock app.Good that the Moto X camera does it right for now.
Any chance of getting the screen recording working??? :fingers-crossed:
In this rom the GPS and the Wifi Direct works?
Because i am on Mokee OS 4.3.1 and i like to try for the first time a 4.4 based rom!
Anyone else facing problems with MTP??
I can't seem to access it on the PC.

Tips
-First boot requres a lot of time
-MTP - to make MTP working, go to Settings, Developer options, disable USB debugging, re-enable it again, tap ok from the message
-Torch works only with CyanogenMod's app

some app fails to install
I am having trouble while installing some apps, installation fails with a message 'Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card'.
It happens only for few apps (example: XDA app).
I tried to install the app after unmounting SD card as suggested in a thread, but it also failed.
Anyone got any suggestion.
Not that problem here. Try to flash again the rom making all wipes. See the first post in original development.

I have done all wipes before installing the zip.Give it a second try and its still the same.
Bugs found so far:
1. Can't move apps to SD card (clean install).
2. No gesture typing in keyboard.
3. Home screen settings button beside widgets button, when pressed nothing happens.

1. Not any app can be moved to SD card (not ROM issue, but app )
2. I don't need that, but in the rom is not implemented (I think)
3. Read all the thread. It's wrote that AOSP Launcher has no settings. Install Google Home. (search it on google )
Why I can't install my apps like titanium backup and My game Tower Of Savior's? Always get apps install unsuccessful

Photos not showing up after taking pictures

ok i searched this issue but found nothing useful or helpful to fix this but every picture i take seems to dissappear after a few minutes and all i get is a gray triangle with an ! mark inside it for all pictures taken by the camera. anyone else have this issue?
im on bady boyz rom
rooted s-offed
h/k m8
No body is having issues with pictures not displaying correctly?? Im on ViperONEM8 rom but it did this on the stock rom and badboyz as well. must not be rom related but i dont know so sum one have any ideas what the issue is? thanks
Have you tried changing the storage location? Also, are you restoring your gallery each time you try a new ROM? You could have the folder hidden on accident and as you restore the gallery that folder becomes hidden again. See if you cannot find the photos another way, for example: Quickpic or ES File Browser.

thank you for helping.
unfortunately yes i did try changing the storage location, in the camera app i changed it to ext sdcard & phone storage both same issue. also i used the Xposed module "Downloads2SD" & "Pictures2SD" both to change the location but still same issue. as for restoring my gallery, no i dont restore it at all when installing new rom. unless somehow it automatically restores from my google account but i dont think it does.
I also have used Root Browser & ES File Explorer to look in every directory on phone and sdcard for the pictures and they cant be found anywhere.
thanks again for replying and trying to help appreciate it much. any other ideas tho?

What happens when you use a different camera app? If that doesn't work either I would suggest an RUU. If an RUU doesn't work I would suggest returning the phone.

still not working with other camera apps. im gonna try RUUing once and see if it still does it. i took a few pics today and all seemed fine until i went to view them later on then they were just displaying the gray triangle thing.. one pic was there and viewed fine one sec then the next its just like the others. i just looked in the gallery now and it shows the previews of these pics but i tap to open them and get the triangle again. its weird & really frustrating i took tons of great pics over the time with this phone and lost them all from this, except of course the stupid test shots ive taken of my wall or whatever pointless shots.. they seem to stay fine its just the important ones that wont.. aarrrghhh gonna RUU right now.
here is a screenshot of what displays for the pictures.. View attachment 2782818
come on isnt anybody having issues with pictures similiar at all?!
pictures i take sometimes show with parts of it having a section thats gray.. usually more then 50% of the pic is that way otherwise there is no pic just a black screen with the ! as shown in previous post here. can anyone please help me. ive lost a lot of important good pics due to this.
you all have always helped me with any issues ive had.. thanks for all that. and thanks for your help with this.

I am having the same issue i moved all my pictures to the external storage card to free up space but now the pics are in limbo i cant find them i just have the triangle where they use to be. the same thing holds true for apps
im beginning to suspect that KK write protection with the external sdcard is the culprit for this but im on viperonem8 and have tried the fixes i found that are suppose to fix the write protection issue and still having same issues. so anyone have any working fixes at all please let us know thanks

I am having the exact same issue and it is frustrating as hell. Especially when I get a great picture, then I go to show someone and it is ****ING GONE.. The only way that I can seem to save them if is when I take them, I immediately share them. After doing extensive research, I have narrowed it down to 2 possible issues.
1) The SD card is somehow corrupted, I purchased a 64GB SD card from eBay and I just recently read about an SD card scandal that was going on which could be the culprit. To test this, I am first going to try with a smaller card that I know works. If that doesn't work, I am going to have the pictures stored on the phone and see if that keeps them.
2) This problem really started to show itself after I downloaded an app called OneGallery, I don't really know if that has anything to do with it, or if it is completely coincidence. If replacing the SD card doesn't work, deleting this app will be the next step.
I love the phone too much to just turn it in or swap it out.
