I have just seen that my internal SD card only has 5GB free space left... But if i open SD card in explorer there is almost no maps and most of them is at 0kb size..
What is taking 11GB ?
You mean out of the box, your brand new S3 has 5gb left?

No not out of the box..
I have flashed many roms for the last 4 months.
But all games, photos etc... Is on ext sd card.
Go to settings / storage to see what is taking up your memory. Most likely miscellaneous will be the largest so click on it to drill down.

So when you go to settings-storage it shows 3 different kinds of memories. 1 is external storage, the other one says phone storage 9gb and the other one says internal storage 2gb. what is the difference between the internal storage and the phone storage? Thank you!
I believe one partition is used for apps and such.

Phone storage is the ~10gb free space (internal sdcard)
Internal storage is the space for /data partition such as your apps and app data.

Is there a way to increase the internal storage space and decrease the phone storage? Idk why but it keeps telling me there is no space whenever I try to do some backup/restore stuff, although in the system it shows there is something like 2gb free space of internal storage...

Hi,
My phone has nearly 400 apps and keeps saying memory low, preventing me from installing new apps.
Is there any way i can repartition the internal memory to give out about 4GB?

Hi, thanks but it seems this mod swaps the external sd for the internal one. But what I'm looking for is to change the 2GB internal reserved memory for apps to about 4GB.

Not possible. Uninstall unused and junk apps and if you rooted you can remove Samsung music hub. Samsung apps. As they are incompatible and useless in most mobiles.
So lately I've noticed that my SD card is apparently full, like I'll get warning messages when downloading apps and stuff that the storage space is insufficient. But I know the overall storage space and I haven't used anywhere near that much. And I tried removing two files I didn't need through USB storage, and the space still didn't go up! I'm using cyanogenmod 9 on the Samsung galaxy exhibit 2 4G.

Its your internal storage not your SD card.

OK, but on app 2 SD it shows around 600 mb internal memory that is still usable. But when I go into what's on the SD card in that same app, it shows 0 free space which is also false. I know that the regular sdcard is the internal memory and ex-sd card or emmc is external. But still I dont have anything in there taking up that much space, app2sd shows that. And I've already dug around in root explorer and I couldn't find any massive data doing this.

Here, this is what app2sd is showing me.

OK so I think the problem is that since cyanogenmod doesn't use the regular external SD card folder, and uses the emmc folder instead, that's causing this.

I am trying to inastall an app (The Amazing Spiderman) and my phone keeps saying I don't have enough free space.
The problem is that my phone seems to be including my Ext SD card in my USB storage.
My USB storage is 11.49gb in total. In the Misc section it says that i'm using 12.47gb! (this is my external SD) and then is says I have 5.93 available at the bottom.
Somewhere my phone is getting very confused between my USB storage and my ext SD card.
Can somebady please help?
You need about 2GB of space for the game to install !

Your not wrong, thats why your out of storage space. All your apps are stored on your phone and not on your external 32GB card.
400MBs is all the space you have left on your phone. Try moving some music and pictures onto your 32Gb SDcard.
I know it's low. But when 400mb is available, atleast an app of 5mb or 2mb should get installed na???

Your phone still require some memory to perform other stuff like cache. Try to move your media files to ext sdcard.
