Running a SG i9100, rooted Carbon JB v1.8 stable 4.2.2, Kernel 3.0.64 CM
Been having problems with phone running out of storage. Last time i flashed my phone with CR 1.8 I did a clean install and formatted internal storage and SD card. The problem still occur, not at once but after some weeks etc. When the exclamation mark occur I restart the phone and it dissappear but I can still not update apps or download new ones. Insufficent storage comes up as an error message.
I have moved all my apps to the SD card, still having the same problem.
The funny thing is when I look at the internal storage on my phone it states:
Total space 1.97GB
Available: 188MB
Apps: 1.16GB
Cached data :12.16MB
Simple maths tells me I should have about 800MB free...
Under Downloaded apps it states 1.8GB used and 200MB free.
On SD card states 1.4GB used and 10GB free.
Seems like there are some hidden apps using my memory and I cant figure out which one or something else.
Need some help.. Any ideas gyus?
Cheers

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.
I use a 9 inches Qpad, rooted, owl upgrade bootloader. Model number L916-3 internal memory is 16gb partitioned into 2.. 4gb for installation and 12gb as internal sdcard.. 32gb external sdcard.. 2gb Ram
Now, the first problem is aver since the day I started using it, the Ram as been used up even though there are very few applications installed. I usually have less than 350gb free ram space. So the device is slow..
Second problem is I installed the things I needed along the line, but recently I realized applications are missing on my phone, like 11 of them, at first I think this is nothing.. I tried to instal some again then it says insufficient memory.. then I uninstall some applications, some well above 45mb, and yet I can't instal back an application of 850kbytes.. and I still have above 3gb free internal memory, 7gb free internal sdcard and 28gb free external sdcard.. please help me, my device is becoming useless
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 having Gionee s5.1 phone with 16GB storage (no SD Card support) running on 4.4.2 Android version. The phone storage divided into 2 sections:
6.25 - This is called Internal Storage. Android version is installed on this with pre installed applications.
9.75 - This is used for media storage and currently no file or images in this storage.
I have uninstall all the unnecessary applications (Pre-installed) from the phone and keep only Cleanmaster, Whatsapp, Facebook Messagner and imo. I have automatic update of apps is off as well as from google play store.
Now the problem is, when I bought this phone it has around 2.3 GB space available and a week back, with above configuration and application, it shows mes only 471 MB space left. I have gone through each and every application manually and removed the cache also used Cleanmaster for the same but no help.
Someone told me to do Factory Reset to resolve this and I do last week. At that time my internal storage back to 2.63 GB free of 6.25 GB allocated and I am happy. Again I configured my phone with above software and disabled the auto update of apps from google apps a week ago. Today, when I go to Settings -> Storage, it shows only 400 MB space left of 6.25 GB. I am not sure what to do and how to deal with this situation. I googled solutions to deal with it like root the phone (King root used) and use Link2SD or App2SD to move the apps but those app said SD partition not mount. I tried minipartition wizard to partition for 9.75GB as shown on the various blogs, but my phone shows message of Corrupted SD Card. No luck...
Can any one let me know how can I merge internal storage (6.25 GB) with phone storage (9.75 GB) to use the phone without any issue? Or
How can I use the Phone Storage as Internal Storage and move applications to Phone storage?
Urgent help is greatly appreciated...
Same problem after i updated to lollipop.
Is this thread resolved?
I have the same mobile phone.
I used to be able to move apps to phone storage ( built-in sd card) but when i upgraded to lollipop, the "move to phone storage" button was gone. All my apps were saved in internal storage and so my phone is running slow.
Anybody know how to solve this?
Thanks in advance!
Hi!
I had 3.10 GB free space in my Internal Memory. I downloaded Dungeon Hunter 4 which is written as requiring 0.96 GB.
So after download and installing, i had 2.78 GB free space in my Internal Storage.
Shouldn't that be 2.14!??? I'm really confused right now.
You may say that maybe during download, the phone cleared caches just in case but i did cleared caches myself manually before downloading so what gives?

Another Question
Asphalt 8 is listed as needing a free space of 98MB. It then made an additional download of 1.3 GB.
Now my internal storage after this was still around 2.78.
I understand that it downloaded the 98MB part to internal memory and the rest to the SD Card. So effectively, installing the game to SD Card? Seems neat.
So on Android, on storage settings, the part listed as app is the one installed in the internal memory and the part listed as data is installed on SD Card. It's true for all applications on Android, correct?
Please excuse my confusion. This is the first time i'm having an experience of Android.
