I'm having problems with taking screenshot. I'm new to the HTC one's. Just got my phone 2 days ago and I'm trying to get familiar with the ins and outs of this phone. I just tried to take a screenshot by pressing volume down + the power button. It took the screen grab but got a notification saying "Can't take screenshot due to limited storage space, or isn't allowed by the app or your organization."
Don't know why my storage would be limited when I have 18 gb left.
Can someone help me with this. It would be much appreciated
I figured it out. For some reason the sense ui doesn't play well with screenshot. Don't know why, but the phone couldn't recognize the file or folder it was supposed to save the screen grab in.
I went into settings > personalize > Change home screen launcher and then switch to the "easy mode."
And then take a screenshot by pressing volume down + power.
It should take a screen grab and save it into the default folder. (make sure to check the folder if your screenshot is their)
Then I went back and switched from easy mode back to sense home. Took a screenshot and it saved it to the default folder.
Hope this helps anyone who comes across this problem!

I forgot to add that before you switch over to easy mode, you need to get a file manager and navigate over to your SD card. Find the folder labeled picture and delete it.
When you take a screenshot in easy mode, a folder will be created to save your screenshots into. Sorry if this got confusing

I am having this problem now only it just started after I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my device. It is saying "can't take screenshot due to limited storage space or it isn't allowed by the app or your organization"... I used the SuperSU 2.48 beta. It's the only thing I can think is causing the problem. Any thoughts?

Hi all,
I have my brand new IS for a while. I had no problem with setting a custom ringtone or photos taken by cam. but a while ago (im not sure when or why) it starts to behave weird. the device doesn't see my music files anymore, i can not choose any custom ringtone. After running Music app, it says "No Music Found" but i can see the file is there( via Astro File Manager etc.).
Same thing happened for photos, too. after taking photos, i can't see them with Gallery app but i see they are in sdcard/DCIM/100MEDIA as usual?
Hope i could tell the problem, any help appreciated..
The apps seem very very bad at refreshing new data off the sdcard. I find unmounting/mounting does the trick.

Thanks for the repy but it doesn't work. Neither Unmount > Mount nor Disable Fast Boot>Unmount>Reboot . I can not see previous photos taken with phone even by the quick button at camera screen.
I can change ringtone by an external app like "Android Movie or Zedge etc." But after restarting the device, it selects default one that shipped with the phone and ignore my custom ringtones.. really weird..
Is a common problem in stock. I thought that making remounting the SD card and afterwards make a photo and than go to gallery should start the reindex. Than start your HTC music app. Should have everything in it by then.
Note: reindexing can take a little while.

Not working..
What i did: Unmount > Mount SDCard. Take a photo > Go to gallery. After a quick refreshing process, there's only latest photo. After a reboot, latest photo is gone, too. Yet no tracks in Music
Just a wild guess, maybe your sdcard is corrupted? FAT32 is very easy to get into such problem. Perhaps you can do a scandisk from a PC.

I noticed this too and came to the forums for an answer, however I found my own answer.
I believe it's related to the apps with data stored on your SD card. When your phone boots up it takes awhile to check the SD card, by that time it's already checked for the icons for the programs in your games folder.
A quick solution is to hit the personalise button, then the first option marked Scene, change the scene, change it back and you get your icons back without having to drag them back out
Had the same problem, for me closing the folder and reopening it solved the problem, but it is a pain!

You can also reload your launcher as well. If your HTC Incredible S is stock, just kill HTC Sense. It will restart automatically.

This is exactly what I do. This issue exists both in froyo and gingerbread.

Press your menu button and choose Manage Apps. From there find the Media Storage app, and select the Clear Data option. Reboot your phone, and the problem should be fixed

Yeah, it was a pretty common problem for most people flashing to early versions of ICS roms, I think its a one time fix though - so you won't see it happen as you flash any other ROMs.
Glad to help
Also noticed another problem. Using the stock camera as it saves to SD is fine but if you use a 3rd party camera in my case camera FX so as to save to emmc you can't delete pictures/videos, they will remove from gallery but not the card and will pop back up again in the gallery unless deleted through file explorer.

I am having a problem with transferring photos from my pc to my phone.
No matter what file I try to transfer them to. They won't be recognized. Like they don't even exist.
I try to transfer them again to the same file to see if maybe it did not work but it says they are there. But when I go to check my gallery, there is no sign of them.
What is going on? Do I have a virus? Can anyone help?
Thanks.

i hate the built-in gallery try to download quickpic (alot of option + fast )
or try to clear cache
OK so that helped with updating my contact pictures list, but I originally wanted to update my wallpaper. I use multi picture live wallpaper. And like I said any new picture I put onto my phone is just not recognized.
I'm just directly put my photos under a folder created by myself in the internal storage.

I have actually done that, but alas did not make a difference. If it makes any difference. I notice that whenever I either plug in my phone into my pc and/or move photos around the "Media Scanner Running" icon notifies me on and off for about 5 minutes even after I have finished. And it as well tends to randomly close any app and the app drawer when I open it.
OK just replying to myself but haha I am becoming more and more frustrated with this. It is also affecting my music as well. I transfer the music files from my pc to my phone and they are only in "My Files" app section. Not found in any of my music players.
Now I have recently downloaded a few apps for customization. Such as ADW Launcher EX, Widget locker, and a few others.
Would any of those somehow change things in my phone. I did pay for them.
Make sure there isn't a .nomedia hidden file in the directory where you placed your picture. Additionally unless you use a media scanning app to force media scan, you will need to restart your phone.

I think I am going to assume there is something wrong with my media scanner on my phone. It is always running and constantly popping up saying it is running, then force closing anything I have open.
Hi my Gallery app shows only pictures that are on the device and not from dropbox facebook etc..

Same here.
The new gallery app seems almost useless. I want my old one back.
I want the app to also allow me to sorry folders (albums). The way it works now, those folders are sorted with the oldest ones on top. I have years of photos and photo folders there copied onto the phone. I have to spend several minutes scrolling all the way to the last ones to see the most recent photos just taken. How lame is that? Anyone have any ideas?
I haven't tested because i do not want my drop box photos showing.
1. Make sure you have the drop box account added from the market. (I came from a Note 3 and drop box was automatically installed but it is not with 5).
2. Go to settings > accounts. Click the plus to add an account. It will show you all your aps. Drop box will not be highlighted, select it.
3. When you select and re-sign in, you will be asked about photo uploads.
4. Make sure you have sync turned on. This is the step I did not do.
