droid 2 pictures won't save to sd card

I had about 300 pictures saved to my sd card and when I wanted to save a new picture that I received from a picture message it went straight to internal memory.

I purchased a new sd card thinking that my old sd card might have been too full, and it does the exact same thing.Meaning any time I try to save a picture it stays in the internal memory and NOT the SD CARD which is what I really want.

Any help? Thanks :smileyhappy:

Oh! Okay, that clears it up for me. That's normal. I have a Droid 2 Global and mine does the same thing. To confirm the actual save-to location on your phone, unmount or physically remove the memory card from your phone, and then try review your images in "Gallery". You should see the following: "SD Card is unmounted or unavailable. However, if you can still see them, then they are being saved to your device memory. Please let me know. Thanks!

Hello there music28! Thanks for asking for the assistance of the VZW Community! I recommend confirming that your SD Card is still mounted to your device. Go to Settings> Storage. If you see the phrase "Mount SD card", please click on it! Your screen will show that the card is being mounted. Once that's done, try your camera again. I also recommend saving the pictures that you have stored to the card to a backup, just in case the card itself is experiencing issues.

Believe it or not I already checked that. And I unmounted it and then

mounted it just to be certain and it is still not saving the pictures

correctly =[

Got it. Thanks for letting me know that! Question for you: How have you been able to determine where the pictures are being saved to? Did you connect the phone to a computer via USB? Did you check a setting within the phone? If so, which one?

Whenever I would receive a picture Message and save it it would always say

"saved to SD CARD" and when I have been doing that recently it would say

"saved to memory " which is not supposed to happen at all. I appreciate

your response btw. Thanks so much :smileyhappy:
