I keep getting an error that my SD card is full, for instance when I try to take a photo or when I try to save a photo.

What I don't understand is that my SD card shows that I have plenty of space?

I need help on what is going on here, because it is super annoying.

Thanks for all the help!

The message is really about the phone storage which is a virtual SD card. Thus why the actual SD card is listed as ext_sd. Just move some of the stuff to your actual SD card. You can control where the pictures are saved in the settings of your camera program. It can be set to Phone Storage (the virtual sdcard) or SD card which is ext_sd.

This.

I have no clue why they would name it that way, but when there is a phone that has both the internal storage and external micro sd slot/card, the phone storage is named SDCard. I wish it were just called phone storage, so as to not confuse people.

Based in those pics, the internal storage needs some cleanup.

Legacy. Every phone needs an sdcard, virtual or not, and the actual sd card here is optional.

Thanks for explaining that, EM. I seriously never understood why it was kept that way when Google changed the protocol, but now I know. Without your mentioning, that probably would puzzle me for a long time...lol
