Okay so my girlfriend has has an LG Optimus One and she has deleted lots of apps, but she has the occasional problem where when she texts , her phone says storage is full. She has an SD card, but no apps are able to be moved to it. Can someone help us to fix this problem without rooting/installing another rom onto the phone? Thanks, all help appreciated.

Without rooting, if no apps on the internal storage can be moved to sd, then the only option is to delete apps on the internal storage and try replace them with similar apps which can be stored on the sd.

hi guys. can somebody please help me with my issue?
it happens like this, the phone just freezes for a moment and then it moves to the "S" boot screen. when the unlock screen appears and i try to unlock it,it freezes again and then boots. my solution is taking the battery out. yeah,it works for a while(usb and sd card are mounting and usual stuff loading)
,but the widgets arent loading...
and then again, 2 minutes after rebooting, the loop starts again!
here are some possible issues i read about:
A:sd card causing bootlooping,
B:application app2sd pro causing problems.
i really dont know anything about rooting,or kies,or odin (if im correct)
and i dont want to reset my phone.
running stock rom 4.0.3 (with TW) and 325 installed apps.
350mb free storage on phone,2.56 gb of memory on internal sd and external is 339mb. there are about 46 500 files on sd cards in total
please....
HELP!
From recovery menu, wipe your phone and try to open it.
NOTE: This will reset your phone to factory settings.
I guess any method we try to help you with will lose your 300+ apps :O
thanks anyways... my phone just rebooted again
maybe ill try rooting some day when im less scared
hi again. figured it out it was my 4.5 year old sd card that was unreadable...
but i moved it to my old desire and it worked fine.
now its time to hunt for a 16gb sd card
Wait, apps2sd? I used to use that with my Hero, why on earth are you using it now?
I suspect that is the majority of your problem.

why? does the app have some kind of bug?
Newer Android versions (2.2+) have option moving apps to card natively.
So what, apps like adobe flash dont move to sd without app2sd
IF YOU LIKE MY WORK, THANK ME BY THE BUTTON BELOW
Because apps like this aren't designed to sit in sdcard.

The stock settings app does the same, and it dont move apps to your Sd card but to the internal sd.

Hello, apps to sd would be an option for people who don't want to do an sd swap but still want to save space on their internal memory. My question is, has anyone used Titanium Backup to put all their huge apps onto their external sd card? If so, how's it going, is it working ok?

Doesn't work even though it says it works.
Only option would be to backup to SD, delete app, and restore when needed.

Hah. I've been wrestling with this for the last hour. Glad to see that I'm not crazy.
Hello i´m from germany so my english isn´t so good and i hope you understand my problem. Since a few days i can´t update apps because i become a error report which says no more space but i have 2 GB internal memory free?. 2 or 3 days later i can´t install new apps too. I have the stock rom 4.2.2 with root, TWRP and Hacker Kernel. I hope you can help me.. I also tried to install a custom rom but i don´t find a rom that is better then stock and at custom rom my wifi can´t be enabled.
Help...
Nobody have an idea?
Google Play is only supposed to prevent you from downloading apps when you have 200MB of internal storage or fewer. However, I've seen this same problem at other random numbers like 400MB. Unfortunately, I've never seen the problem as high as 1.4 GB.
Although you aren't supposed to have this problem, you can definitely try freeing up space and seeing if the problem persists. If you have 3GB of free internal space and you still cannot download apps, there is a problem with Play. If the problem goes away, I would recommend buying an SD card where you can keep most of your data, and you will still be able to update your apps.

In your screenshot, it looks like 4.7GB is being taken up by media. If that is your internal SD, try moving the media to your 64GB SD. See if updates work then.

The only way to solve the problem you are having would be to isolate it. If you clear up some memory and apps start updating, you know that your phone has a limit of 2GB. In that case, always keep over 2GB free and try to move more data to SD. (I still don't understand how Whatsapp takes so much memory) If apps don't update after you clear the space, you know that Google Play isn't working the way its supposed to, and should probably contact support on their end.
Sorry I wasn't of too much help for you. Good luck!

Not sure where to go, will start here. I have a E970 with 16MB storage. Been running Houstonn's Carbon Rom nightlies for over a month. Went into my settings-storage and it tells me that I have 11.30GB total storage with about 2GB used by Apps, Pics, audio, downloads, cache, and misc. However, the available space shows as only 2.09GB. Am i missing something? My 16GB SD card seems to be reporting ok. I'm just wondering if the phone is mis-reporting my storage, or if I should just wipe it out and re-install carbon fresh.
Any help appreciated.....Thanks!

Hi guys,
I recently bought an s4 and my 32gb sd card acts weird with it: can't rename files in any other file manager but only with the stock one, can't save camera recorded videos to the SD card only to device memory, when trying to save or to SD card the video disappears. I wonder if this is a sd card issue or a software glitch. I fully reformatted the card but the issue persists.
Anyone with the same experience maybe?
Thank you a lot

You can't save anything to the SD card or write on it at all, Google killed write access with kitkat.

stock KitKat won't access extsd card..thanks for providing more info so an answer could be given
sent by bajarom v2.2 kitkat
It's interesting, can anything be done about it? I'm not even sure what Kitkat exactly is but it seems like it's not an SD card error at all. As I said I can move staff from memory to SD card but can't seems to directly save pics or videos from an app to throw sd card. Thanks guys for helping me with this. Really appreciate it

I think I have found the solution, the stock apps would let me do all the stuff I want, others I would download, do not. For example, the stock camera would let me save to the sd card the one I have from the playstore would not. I think I can live with that knowing that its a sofware issue.
