Internal memory problem - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good day everyone, today was using my phone normally all of a sudden I was editing a word document in my phone and when I tried to save changes it wouldnt let me cause I dont have enough memory left, checked my internal memory and out of 11.5 gb I had 0 left even when Ive only used 3 gb of that memory. Thought it was a problem I could solve by rebooting but even after that the phone shows the same memory available,
connected it to my pc to try and fix errors but the option wont show when I access the memory and when trying to copy files it takes ages, my question is if I format the sd through the android menu, would there be a problem ?? since Im rooted and using paranoid android 2.54 dont know if any necesary files are in there and what would it cause if I delete them.
If this helps at all I got a 1.97 gb memory for system, 11.5 internal memory and an external sd card of 32 gb, the 11.5 one is the only one not working.
Any suggestions are welcome thanks a lot

formatting the internal sd wont effect your system. But back up your data to your pc and format

[Q] About the SD card

Well I am lately facing an issue with the stock SD card which was provided together with my neo V. For some reason the free space of the card doesn't correspond to the free space it should really have.
All my data on the SD card is 308.49MB but in Storage there are available only 25.84MB left. How is that even possible?
I have unmounted and remounted the SD card and I have also removed it and put it back in, but nothing changed. Due to this problem I am facing serious problems with the updates of my apps and with the installation of new apps (phone indicates there is not enough space in memory or SD card)
If someone can help it will be greatly appreciated.
I am using official ICS 4.0.4 android version.
Thanks in advance
I believe what you mean is internal memory,right?
normally new apps will install in internal memory.
maybe you can try some apps which can move apps to SD card.Or maybe you can try custom ROM here in Xda...
No, I am talking about the SD card. Not about the internal memory. The internal memory calculates the space properly.
The SD card on the other hand has a problem with that. Even though it is 2GB and and the data in it is 308.49MB it still shows no space available under the storage. Same applies when I use other apps that show the capacity of the SD card.
Take out the sd, connect it to your PC, back up your data and then format it again, then copy your data back to the sd

2 Problems that could use assistance

I just flashed AOKP's JB rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30974673#post30974673).
Problem 1: I receive an error when trying to install some apps, saying "Error: Couldn’t install on USB storage or SD Card”. I read that this is external SD card related? I have found a minor workaround, uninstalling the app then reinstalling it. Anyone have any other thoughts?
Problem 2: After install, went to camera and got an error saying SD Card is running out of space. When I go to “Setting–>Storage” I have the following:
Internal Storage
Total Space 1.97 gb
Available 1.21 gb
Internal Storage
Total Space 11.36 gb
SD Card
Total Space 14.83 gb
Anyone have any thoughts? I have plenty of space on my phone, however, it seems that everything I install is being put into that first Internal storage space. This was a fresh install after clearing all data and factory setting but don't understand why everything is being there.
Thanks in advance for the help.
I have no such problem, make sure you do full wipe?

I wiped everything twice before flashing. I noticed the same problem (as for the memory) on my previous July 3rd, AOKP ICS rom. I dont know if I have a partition set up on my internal which is where everything is being saved to, which is why its filling up so quick....
Also, I cant seem to figure out how to change the save directory to external SD card for camera.
Thanks for all the help.
Edit:
---it also appears that I am unable to receive pictures through text messages...don't know if it is related at all.
I have wiped and re-flashed the rom twice already.
The storage configuration is correct. the 2gb internal is for system. 12gb is user internal storage.
completely normal.

[Q] out of memory - internal card

Hi all,
i have some question
today i got a message "Storage Space Running Out"
i have internal card with 12 gb, and external card with 8 gb
one solution that i found is to partition the internal card, install link2sd app and link all the apps to the partition that i made
so, this what i did.
after i did that, i increased the memory but still not much i have now 350 mb free
first question is why it happens? i had this problem few times, what can i do to solve this problem?
second, after partition internal card i cant see external card no in the device and no in the computer
thank you!

Internal Memory~ Help

I have been having a major problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3 phone. The internal memory of the phone should be 11.35GB (even though it should be 16, but I know how these stuff actually work), The internal memory keeps being filled with nothing.
As you can see the total space is 11.35 GB and if you count the applications (7GB), pictures & videos (5MB) and miscellaneous/Download files (15MB), they constitute no more than 8GB, which means that there should be no less than 3 GB left as available in the phone's internal memory, but as you can see I have got 479MB available. How did that happen?
I Already tried Format Data but still same thing happen memory keeps decreasing 50-100MB. I have rebooted the system yesterday when the internal memory was completely full, Clean system cache and dalvik. And I have a feeling that by tomorrow I will get the memory completely full without downloading or adding anything on the phone.
Please help me.

I am not able to adopt my sd card as internal memory.

So i had serious memory issues, like out of my 8gb 5.2gb was used for system data and 1gb for the default apps so i barely had room for ads , so i bought an 16gb sd card but i couldn't move all of the apps i barely could do anything on them(i dont really take photos/videos so they didn't take more than 10mb maybe). I didn't even have space to get the marshmallow update but i did some reading an apparently in the update i could adopt my sd card as internal storage and the only con was like slower speed but i don't really care for that myself. so i did a factory reset i updated to marshmallow erased my sd card memory before factory-resetting and when i finally opened the phone with 6.0 installed and went to my storage options and in sd settings all there is is eject and format, not format as internal storage, help??? also excuse me for horrible grammar/punctuation.
Right now after resetting i already have 6.2gb used out of 8gb and i didn't install one single app its all just after resetting.
