Why the taken pictures are not stored on a memory card

[lukand]

I have just installed the memory card of 512 GB capacity. Furthermore, I changed the camera settings so to place any taken pictues on the memory card. Unfortunately, despite of such modification, any photograph is stored in the Fairphone 4 internal memory. Any ideas how to solve the problem?

Hi

• Are you sure you formatted the SD as portable not internal
• Which camera app are you using.
• How do you known they are n the internal memory, what app are you using?

In the first you can check Settings > Storage > do you see an eject icon ?

Camera does not work after transferring pictures to SD card, nor does downloading picutures

If this is what you see you have formatted as internal, there is no eject icon [image] If you formatted as external/portable you will see the eject symbol [image] Sometimes there an entry for a missing SD which I’m sure happened after the first time I formatted as internal ~ it doesn’t want to let go of the idea that internal memory had a one time a friend.

Is it possible to improve it somehow, so to meet my requirememt?

I have just found the solution. It turned out that after formatting the memory card as the external memory, the pictures are stored on it. Nevertheless, its content is not detectable whilst attaching my Fairphone 4 to my personal computer via the USB lead.

And there’s a thread already, to solve this:

No folders visible after connecting to a personal computer

Could anyone help me to get the access to the folders within the Fairphone 4 internal memory? Although my device is detected, the folders list is empty. Furthermore, it even impossible to get an access to the 512 GB memory card instaleed in my Fairphone 4 from my personal computer running on Windows…

Finally. I have found the solutopnm by myself. The following link was of help:

Well first you had to reformat the SD from what you have said

The ‘solution’ you said you found was the advice given to you by @incanus, you seem to be mixing and duplicating posts ??

There are several alternative operating systems, you can run on a FP4, /e/, iodéOS, LineageOS and so one. Every OS has different usier interfaces and you can install different launchers on the factory OS of the FP4. So I was asking, what exactly is running on your FP4. You need to swipe down the quick start menu and check for the USB mode manually, there will be no automatic notification.
