G+_bob H Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 So my external sd card came in. So what now? Other than a place to keep ROMSs, radios, and kernels, what other clever uses are there? I stream all music from the cloud and movies from Netflix. I would like to force my camera's photos and videos to go to the external sd card but don't see a setting with the stock camera. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_George Fromtulsa Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 What phone do you have? Google Play Music All Access took so much space on the limited 16 GB Core of my Samsung Galaxy Note that the phone had no more room to store pictures, so it auto-magically started storing pictures on the SD Card. ProCapture (I have the Pro, don't know about the Free Version) enables selection of SD Card for save. There may be other 3rd Party Apps with that enabled, too. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neaststudios.procapture&hl=en I seem to remember back on my Nexus One that the camera gave the option to store pictures on the SD Card. Cards were slower then . . . Google doesn't like the SD card. What a shame! It was a big advantage Android had over iOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Frank Pigeon Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 George Fromtulsa I am on a att s4 and have 16GB internal and just got an external SD 32GB. I was saddened that I may just have to transfer photos and movies manually once I start running low on space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_George Fromtulsa Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 There was something I read last week, but didn't pay much attention to since I don't have an S4, that an update "broke" save to SD. That may have been the "Google Experience Model" Yes. It was the 4.3 update did the nasty. http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s4-gpe-android-4-3-sd-card-fix-254960/ This YouTube video shows how to save photos to the SD card on a "standard" S4 that hasn't been messed up by Google = Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Frank Pigeon Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 George Fromtulsa thanks for all the links and guidance. I am running a GPE ROM so I don't have the TW camera. I may look at the ProCapture app if I can't deal with the manual transfer of pics and vids. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_George Fromtulsa Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Frank Pigeon Need a ROM that REALLY uses extSD. Or the mfgs need to build with 128. 16 is sad. Streaming everything? Try that on the 2g my phone is recently pulling (who knows why?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
