I seem to be unable to open Gallery and an error message appears stating:
"Not enough space. Delete unnecessary items such as ......"
I've checked internal, external, system, data etc and still have some remaining space on each one.
Could the issue be with the location of the storage being corrupted? If so how can I fix it
(I've tried wiping everything through CWM, but that hasn't helped)
Gallery cache?
Is there enough space for it?

try to unmount the external sd card and the open gallery
Thanks for your response
I've backed up both internal and external storage to my pc and then formatted the phone completely, reinstalled the ROM and the gallery is now working.
It seems therefore, that there was a corrupt file/s somewhere.
Any ideas how I go about locating this file, as I would like to get transfer my files back onto my phone.
Thanks

may be it was not a corrupted file issue. The flashing of rom again might have solved it. put the files back and it should work
I have exactly the same problem.
I get this every time I try to open the gallery, changing the wallpaper or anything else that's using the gallery. Non of those things work.
I am running RocketRom JB, flashed it according to the installation info (including the real format system, wipe dalvik/cache and all the other things)
To troubleshoot the problem I did:
Another flash of rocketrom without wipe
Backup and format the sd-card
Cleaned the Gallery cache
Rescanned the media storage
Remove the sd-card and start the gallery
Any ideas what else could help?
Of course I have plenty of space left (first thing I checked) it's > 1 GB on the system, > 9 GB internal Storage and 20 GB on the external.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

I think your picture files is too many. If you would like to store pics in your SD card, make sure its not like above 3k picture files. I have experinced this before..

Some people tend to use their phone as their life depends on it.. Carrying loads of important stuff there..
A phone its a device that's very exposed to damage and robbery etc.. It's not meant to be your life backup... Really I don't understand the behavior of some people... Just put some music... Some meaningful pictures.. Some movie, a couple of games... Configure your email account set the security in the lock screen and you are good to go..

Thanks for the hint, but size is not the problem, not even a single photo on an empty card works.
@msdek maybe you didn't understand the problem. What gave you the hint that I would like to "carry my life around with me"?
I have appr. 80 photos that I would like to view in the gallery plus the ones I take on the go. Which should be no problem. Which was no problem until I flashed Rocketrom. But the Gallery doesn't open, not even for one pic.

I have the exact issue, either on RRv1 or v2. If I got this problem, I need to wipe the Dalvik cache in order to recover the problem. However, sometime later, the problem will be happened again. Any clue to prevent it?
me too....any solution ? i think is the internal sd permission issue.....help help.....

Are you referring to the filein /system/app/secgallery2.odex?
With wipe you mean delete or rename ?
i have heard previously, deleting odex might make your gallery app FC. pl confirm.
Thanks upfront.
Hi,
I have a question regarding media storage location of Whatsapp - I don't necessarily expect a solution but would like to at least verify the behaviour on other phones.
My old android device (Sony Ericsson SK17i) saved the Whatsapp media files to the external SDCard.
I bought a S3 mini this week and noticed a difference: Whatsapp media files are not stored on external SDCard anymore, but on the internal storage. I guess that this comes from the internal storage being presented as SDCard0, so maybe Whatsapp thinks that this is in fact the external SD-Card.
Can somebody with S3 mini check how this behaves with his phone? Within Whatsapp I didn't find a way to configure this, can anyone think of a solution to that?
Many thanks in advance.

mine saved on phone internal too....and i'am afraid there's no setting from within whatsapp to store in external sd card....however you can reduce space by using directory bind....search around and you will find it.....directory bind or link2sd should do it....

ok, thanks for double-checking, I was afraid so. I don't want to link the whole app to sd card, but directory bind sounds like a very good idea, I haven't thought of that.

How do you managed to make the default Image preview program to work properly?
I marked the "Media verification" checkbox on the folder mount configuration so that de SD Card folder wouldn't appear on the image preview program, but now I only can see some black thumbs with no image "attached" that points to internal memory.
Did any of this happened to you? Or something similar with the images or how you see them?

whenever i open this app , notifications comes saying :
checking for root ......
exit
and nothing happens !

This seems like a solution to my problem- moved my whatsapp media folder using the manual settings in Gl to SD, but it seems wonky. I took a picture of myself and sent it to someone, and it worked fine. Image is stored in my "sent" folder on the card, which also shows up in internal if I browse there with an explorer. I click on the image in whatsapp, it becomes full screen.
But when someone sends ME an image, it seems to never download. I see the thumbnail, I click it, and then it says that the media is not found on the SD card.
Sure enough, I browsed the folder in explorer (hooked up to my computer as PTP, browsing in windows 7) and the file isn't there. Only the one that I originated. I tried to create a file there, and it actually timed out on me and said device wasn't available. So it seems to sometimes work but not other times? How strange!

it seems you have root permission problem. you may try to fix permission via custom recovery. GL to SD is working fine and i'm able to download additional data on ext SD.

Ah, that might have been it.
In the mean time I gave up, removed it and went with foldermount, linked above. Works just fine out the door, cleaner UI too.
Move WhatsApp Media To External SD Card
This App automatically redirects WhatsApp media to the External SD Card in order to save memory: I cannot post the link, but you can search Nicola Rosada On Play Store and download Photo & File Redirect.

I got foldermount and used it to mount data/obb folders from some apps to my ext SD card. But this is what i get for whatsapp: The data and obb options are greyed out so i cant select them and it says there is no data to begin with (0 B). How did you do it? Thanks
Thanks for saving me to ask this question. My son has a SG Grand Prime SM-G530H and is facing the same problem.

Got the same Issue - can send Images and theyll get stored on SD via Foldermount, but when i receive images, just got the blurry thumbnail and after i downloaded the image i got that "Media is not found on the SD card" issue.
Anyone knows what i did wrong?
Before I upgraded from a 4.1 to a 4.2 based rom, I copied all my files from my sd card and then flashed the Rom. Then I formatted my phone's storage so I wouldn't have that weird 2 sd card file system going and so that I could see all my old files which I pasted back onto my phone. When I boot into cwm, and want to install a .zip, I see a couple folders such as the cwm folder and venom folder and legacy folder, and I find that my sd cards files are not under root and I have to go to /0. If I go into a file explorer such as we file explorer, I can't see any files under the the place where those several folders are. Any ideas?

Noticing same thing...
I've just been searching these threads for the exact same issue. Wondering if it would be possible to take a nandroid, erase system and everything and either restore or reload my room from scratch to fix this? My phone says it's running low on memory while it still shows almost 10gb free when attached to my computer. I assume this is the problem...

Yeah, ive tried to format my phones internal storage but the problem is still there. Though it does free up a lot of space when I do it. I think it says it is low memory because there are duplicate files of everything on your sd card
I recently rooted my phone using the Chinese vroot tool and then installed SuperSU to remove the Chinese su. After that I installed busybox, pimp my rom, system cleaner and no bloat free to remove all the crap Samsung put on this phone. Now think I might have gone a bit overboard with my cleaning... The problem I have is that i can take a few photos, then close the app, re-open the photo app and then if I try to take a photo it won't save it to the sd card until I unmount and remount the sd card. Any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks for your help

The problem is more complicated than i thought. The phone recognizes the extrenal SD but only in read-only mode. I can only briefly write to it before it gets back at read-only mode
I reflashed the stock firmware with Odin but the problem is still there.
It goes so far that if I connect the phone to my PC with USB the external SD Card is found but it doesn't show any folders or files when I select it.
And after a little further investigation I found that I can take pictures as normal (save to external SD) untill i open the file explorer, then the external SD card only gets read-only!! Frustrating!
Update: looks like the sd card itself is the problem. I put in a different one and everything seems normal.
I'll try to do a chkdsk on the old one.
It was a corrupted file system. Fixed it and everything is back to normal.
There appears to be a problem moving files about on the SD Card when running under Oreo. It seems you can write to the card from say the camera or from the phone storage but moving or copying a file from the SD Card to another location on the SD Card doesn't work.
My mate with a different branded phone has the same issue so its not the Nokia 8, it is Oreo, anyone know of a fix?
Same issue here. Nokia TA-1004 updated to Oreo. SD Card has issues. Any files you copy to the SD card will have the file written physically, but with a read error on the destination file. The file will appear as zero bytes. But a simple restart will fix this.
Hope Nokia will fix this soon...
Edit: a restart will fix the files appearing correctly, but the issue still remains.

I can confirm this issue as well.
Tried total Commander and solid Explorer with same result - zero byte file
BTW factory reset does nothing as I have done it straight after updating to oreo (from recovery menu)
So, there's a way.
Use the default file manager, Files app. Copying and moving works well, from Internal to External memory and within also. I found the Files app rather basic, but it does work.
No zero bytes issue.
Just clear Files' app data and cache.
Works for me.
For 3rd party apps, we should wait for an update for the apps itself. I reinstalled File Manager + and X-plore, the issue is still present for these apps.
Maybe other file managers might work.

I didn't know that the Nokia 8 comes equipped with a file manager app, is it made by Google? Can I find it on the play store please?
Yes, Nokia has its own file manager. No, its not made by Google and its not available in Playstore either.
Its called "Files" app, v8.0, because its Oreo maybe.
If you're using a 3rd party launcher, maybe it won't appear in your app list. Use the default launcher.
Or go to Settings -> Storage -> Internal Storage -> Files.
If you have an SD card, tap on the SD card in the storage settings to open the Files app.
Its integrated in the OS, can't be disabled, and I also can't find a way to extract its apk.
Hope you find it...

Remove and try reading the memory card on a computer, see if your files are there.
Clean data and cache for the Files app, and try again.
Can you try with another card for a chance.
Am using a Maxell class10 16gb card.
I hope this issue isn't related to card speeds or capacity.
I didn't try other cards though.
And other file managers still has the issue.

It doesn't matter if the files are lost it was just to see if the default file explorer works correctly and it doesn't.
I am using a 64GB SanDisk Extreme Pro with 95MB/ reads and 90MB/s writes, i'd say that is a card that is up to the job. That said i don't think this is a anything to do with the cards people are using, i'd hazard a guess at Google changing how Android handles the files on an SD card in Oreo.
Well, seems we have to use the internal storage till Google makes this right...
Or the app makers work it out
At least X-plore works all right, Total Commander does have the problem as described.
No one seems to be updating any apps, i am wondering if Google borked it totally.
Well Google wouldn't care since they don't use SD cards on their devices. For me none of the 3rd party file managers work. Either we wait for Nokia to fix it or the app developers.
Also i discovered something else which is with the camera... If i choose to save the pictures on the SD when taking pictures, and press to see the photo from inside the camera app after i taken it, it wont open it.
It shows it as a small thumbnail that the photo was taken. Even if i go to the Photos to find the picture is not there. This only occurs when using the Nokia camera app and having selected to save on SD.
If i use a different camera app like the Google camera, or select from the Nokia camera app to save on the internal storage i don't have this issue.
I don't if that matters but im using a Samsung EVO Plus 64GB microSD

Try clearing the Cache Data for the stock camera app. On mine it works without issues, saving to Internal or SD card. I use a 16GB card though..

Never crossed my mind to clear the cache, did and works now.
The weird thing is, that i talked to the support about this and they told me that the camera app doesn't have permissions to manage the SD storage so it won't work
SD card problems seem to be fixed in today's update
