HTC TyTN P9600 Storage Card issue

Hi

I have this fairly new phone, got it two weeks ago, and I am a switcher from Symbian, so if I say anything dumb, please bear (bare) with me. (also for my non-native english, thanks)

I have been really happy with the device, and all of a sudden now I realized that in Camera mode, I cannot set it to store pics and videos to the SD card. I have over 1GB left, the card is accessible from all other places, programs run off of it just fine, but in camera, I cannot see the Storage Card option, only the Main Memory, and Network.

Is there anything I do wrong? What can I do to get it back?

Thanks

Ben

Camera Save/Storage Problems

It sounds like you have view network folder enabled.

Unfortunately the camera is only capable of saving to one of two locations at any one time so:

If the view network folder is NOT enabled you will be offered:
"Main" or Storage card" in camera settings and once set it will remember your choice and not ask again.

BUT with Network folder enabled and a storage card inserted you will:

be asked if you want to use "StorageCard" every time you start Camera, but in camera tools you will only be offered "Main" or "Network" even if you chose the card. It will not set to storage card even if you said you wanted this when camera started.
So, if you want to use main memory with a storage card inserted and don't want the silly question about using storage card each time, then you must disable the network folder. (Use Resco or File Commander to do this - forget now if regukar File Explorer does it)

Equally if you want to save to storage card you will also need "network" folder disabled otherwise it will save to Main memory even when you say yes to Storage Card on start up of application.

The default setting for the Network folder is disabled, so if you are having problems it is likely to have been enabled by using the likes of Resco or Total Commander.

If you want to use the registry to set the storage location:

Specifying your own location in registry=
HKLM - Software - HTC - Camera - Image - SaveFolder - xyz

where xyz is your folder name, but note this folder will be added as a subfolder of the following (in this case storage card) auto added path:
/Storage Card/My Documents

Note that setting a location or name other than the defaults will result in problems viewing pictures via the application, though they can be view by locating and opening files individually.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\Image]
value of "Saveto" = 0 will save images to main memory
value of "Saveto" = 1 will save images to storage card
Usually the camera only asks about storage card when you have just inserted a new card OR you have the "network" folder enabled.

Hey,

Right on the money, thanks. I used Resco File Explorer's add in Setup to disable the Network folder, and there you have it, the Storage card is back.

Nice post, thanks a lot, I thought I am going to have to Hard Reset for this error.

Cheers for this,

Ben
