What class is the card? If you record in full HD, you need at least Class 4. Have you tried recording in lower resolution?

Hi, thanks for your reply it says on the sd card 10? Not sure what this means

I have just checked and it will let me record now however not sure which is the best option to go for.

The class of the card indicates the read/write speeds of the card. Class 10 is a very good speed. Which options are you referring too?

I recently got the galaxy s4 and I am having problems with the storage of the pictures in my gallery. I want ALL of my pictures to save on my SD card, this was possible with other android phones where there was no such thing as external memory, in fact the phones camera wouldnt even function without an SD. I was able to change the settings on the camera to where pictures I take with the camera will save on my SD card, the problem comes when I take a screenshot, or save a picture from an APP such as facebook messenger or ifunny. Thesse automatically create a new album by the name of the app and save on the external memory. I know you can move pictures afterwards and move them to external memory.... but I want a way in which I can set the default location as mt SD and they will automatically save there withough me having to manually move them. Thank-you

I'd guess that's an app-specific thing. Some apps, like the camera, specifically allow you to set the external SD card as the default file location, others don't. If the app developer hasn't included that functionality in the app, there's no obvious solution except to transfer the file after the fact.
