Move Pics from Phone to SD Card-Pls Help

**Alewood** · 07-28-2012, 02:45 AM

Please help. I bought and installed my wife's sd card after she had activated her phone. I am now looking for a way to transfer her pics which are currently stored on the internal memory of the phone to the sd card. I have searched several sources and I can't seem to find an easy way to do it from the phone. Any ideas or help will be appreciated.

Just use a file manager. Find them on the internal storage and copy and paste the pics to the ext_sd card. Then go back and delete them. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but that's how I'd do it. There should be an option to have them sent there by default

Yeah I just use file manager. Somehow my pictures go to my sd card automatically.

Just use an app like astro and copy or move the pics. Or you can always hook it up to the computer and drag and drop. Pretty simple methods.

I had the same question about moving files to my newly purchased 32gb SD card. Thanks for this information. ES File Explorer does not recognize SD card, but native file manager does.

One more question ...how do I set the SD card as default storage for downloads ?

Thanks

1. Es file explorer does recognize the sd card. See screen shot.

2. Most apps only save to phone storage and cannot be changed. Camera can be changed in the settings though. Others have to be moved for the most part.

Go to camera. Click on the cog wheel at the top of the screen on the left. Go all the way to the bottom of the menu. Second from the bottom you'll see storage. Click on it and select where you want your pics to go. Hope this helps.

Hi Team,

I have defaulted my camera to store photo and videos in SD Card. Any videos taken more than minute is not playing back in my phone, it gives me an error message. i can play all videos less than 1 minutes, if i change the options to phone memory (Default) and take any videos greater than 10 minutes. it plays my video without any error.

my Sd card is 32 GB of class 10.

Please help me to solve this issue.

You going to be an isheep? What phone do you have? A Samsung GS3? That IS the phone we're discussing here.
Learn the phone. I got mine in September and am still learning about it.
