Really? Internal memory photo storage only?

I just purchased a LG G3 from T-Mobile last week. I like the phone for the most part... However, I'm baffled that you cannot set the default camera storage to the SD card. There's no option. I called T-Mobile and LG customer service after scouring the Internet. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

I got no idea what you are talking about, I have a 64GB Micro SD card in my phone and it saves the pictures to the card as a snap them

When I take a picture and it saves to the SD card, it won't let me delete the pic. I get a message that says
"Failed! Android don't allow you to write the external storage since 4.4! It is a system bug, we can't fix it! "
I'm using LG's camera. Not a 3rd party app. Shouldn't LG's own camera be able to write to the SD card?

Yeah- isn't that special? It's not a "bug". It's Google's intentional crippling of the microSD in KitKat. I got that message at first. Then somehow I had the option of selecting a default app to view photos. I chose Gallery (the stock app) and I can delete fine from there. It's really seamless after you set it up.

Note: I'm not rooted.

I put in my sd card I believe before I had even used the camera once... so it asked me if I wanted to save to sd card before I took my first pic and been saving there ever since.

I added a card three days after I got mine. A prompt came up when I opened the camera app. Music has the settings too and will move your music over to the card also. Get a 64gig
