Camera Not Recognising Free Space on SD Card
 

OK, here is my Dilema.
I have a 8GB memory card with 4GB free space and the default destination to store pictures on my phone is the Storage Card. But for some reason, the Camera App only lets me take a maximum of 13 pictures, Video only 2 minutes, and then it displays out of memory.
I have copied off everything and Formatted the SD Card, and it still displays the same thing.
But if I switch storage to Main Memory, it says 156 pictures can be taken, and yet it only has like 145MB left there. And the size of the pictures are 745KB at most so far.
Any help here would be highly appreciated.

Using Merdin 3.4 ROM

Thanks

To be honest with you,,, what I would do to find out the problem,, is back up everything you got..

then hard reset... try the camera again,, if it still has the same problem,,

then flash back to stock rom,,, try the cam again,, if it works properly on the stock rom,, then id look for an alternative rom to flash,, or contact the maker of the rom you were using and alert them to the problem,, see if a fix can be made then reflash...

if even on the stock rom it does this,, then id look into taking the phone back...

hope this helps

is this a regular sd card or a sdhc card? not sure if it matters but the info may help someone else to solve your problem .. also did u try a smaller card or a different card?

Re: Camera Not Recognising Free Space on SD Card
 

I will try some other SD Card when I get it. It is a 8GB SDHC Card.
I have not hard reset, and even if I do, I always have a backup using SPB Clone. I will try it though, Thanks guys for your input.

Re: Camera Not Recognising Free Space on SD Card
 

have you changed the directory inwhich you save your pics to?

Re: Camera Not Recognising Free Space on SD Card
 

Yes then last night i inserted the 1gb sd card and it recognized it and said i have 1786 pictures. I put the transcend micro sd back in and it says 486 again i think the camera only see's 4gb on the 8gb sd card because im using 3826mb but when i go over 4gb the camera read's 0 im still unsure. im still diagnosising it

anybody else any thoughts? this is pissing me off

Re: Camera Not Recognising Free Space on SD Card
 

have you formatted your card to FAT32?

Re: Camera Not Recognising Free Space on SD Card
 

Nope. can you point me in the right direction :(

Re: Camera Not Recognising Free Space on SD Card
 

I run 32gb SDHC ( modified ) and every rom that i have used, read it correctly regarding how much space used or space available.

Maybe you have a fake card. ..i don't know..

Edited: Here is another answer that might answer your issue.

Here are the numbers when i change my setting on Quality

With 13338.78 Gigs left

Basic = I have 3656 shots left
Normal = I have 3006 shots left
Fine = I have 2426 shots left
Super Fine = I have 2034

That is how much i have left since i already used up 17753.22 gigs already.

Re: Camera Not Recognising Free Space on SD Card
 

Hmm i think you should have way more pics available if you have 13GB on your card left i have 1786 w/ just 1gb sd card in this is why im triping out. I put in my friends 8gb scandisk sd card at work and his read 8967 pictures available so im unsure what is causing this. Maybe your card is broken ](*,)

Re: Camera Not Recognising Free Space on SD Card
 

Didn't you look at the quality settings ?

Edited: lowest settings on 13GBs -

Resolution = M
Quality = Basic

I have 95,716 shots left -

Of course i'm more of a resolution guy and set every settings to max to maximize my storage card

Maybe my card is broken...i don't know...

My point in " trying " to help you out is that , maybe the settings you have is on 3M and Super Fine.

Re: Camera Not Recognising Free Space on SD Card
 

I understand what your saying and the settings i have is what you said. I'm more of a resolution man also. I have 4356 MB left available on my card. im sure im able to take more pictures than 503 even though i have my camera settings on 3M and super fine..... Or am i just tripping out and I need to buy a 32gb sd card???

The reason i think my card or phone is broke is if i put in the 1gb card i have 1786 pics left with the same setting so this is why i flip out??

Re: Camera Not Recognising Free Space on SD Card
 

Like earlier poster said , you might have to do the un-thinkable ( if you are not a flash-o-holic) and do a hard reset , or try a different rom ..... you know...

Re: Camera Not Recognising Free Space on SD Card
 

Hook your phone up to your PC select disk drive on the phone's display. now on the computer go to My Computer in there you will see the Memory card. Right click it and select format. change setting from fat to fat32. and your done.

Note: this will erace everything on your card make sure you back up your files.
