My miscellaneous data is at 7gb and I have about 2.5 gb available... Does this seem about right? I do use titanium backup ( so all apps plus data are backed up) and a stock rom saved also.
Should I even be concerned with available storage..

When you changed Android version your file location of all your storage changed. So now you have a copy of your entire storage in another location. I recommend deleting things you don't need or deleting the copy in a root file Explorer.

2.5 is about right with the backups and music on there. Download DiskUsage on the Play store. It really gives a good perspective of where your stuff is.

I rooted my Photon, installed Titanium Backup and backed the phone up to my sd card. Today, i exchanged my Photon for another Photon.
Do I need to root the new phone in order to backup using Titanium?
I guess what I'm getting at is that if the phone needs to be rooted again, it would seem there's no on the fly solution to immediately backing up the phone. I'd have to re-root the phone which means having my laptop handy.
Any help would be much appreciated.
How do you guys do it?
Thanks again.

Yes you need to root again. I havw tried titanium unrooted and it says it wont work. The only one i ever got to work without having root was mybackup pro but you have to buy the app when restoring to new device when using mybackup pro. Not much info but hope it helps.

I have a broken-screen Photon and want to use TB to restore to my new Photon.
New Photon is rooted, but TB will not see all my elements. It don't think it's seeing any of my downloaded apps & data.
Any advice on what I need to do? I just want my new Photon to be like my old Photon.

I've tried everything that I can possibly think of, with no luck.
I did a fresh app only save and that didn't work. New phone would not see the apps to restore.
I can't figure out how to get my app saves off my old phone to be recognized by TB on the new phone. Do I need to download all the apps from the market? Do I need to factory reset the new phone and start over?
This is really starting to drive me crazy. It doesn't seem like it should be this difficult.

I now have a suspicion that y new phone is not reading my SD card correctly. It's not seeing all my pictures or videos. I've unmounted and remounted the card but no change.
Continually confused.
Try moving your titanium folder to internal storage and see what happens

This was the key (I hope, at least). I realized I was using the internal storage SD mount for my saves. I changed the directory to sd-ext and created a new folder there to perform the app & data save.
It's working through a restore right now, but I may be close.

Chalk this up to inexperience. I was backing up to the internal SD, not the external. Once I restated to external, it worked pretty well. Now just some tweaking to be done.
Thanks all for your help!
Hi, Im pretty new at the whole rooting thing but I believe I have most of the simple parts down. I am running the stock thunderbolt rom with S-off and rooted, also debloated. Everything has been running smoothly but when I flash new ROMs to test them out, I've noticed each time a new one is flashing the text when it is flashing displays how much space my SD card has left on it, this number has diminished drastically sense I flashed my first ROM. I was wondering if this is normal or should I be concerned, looking for a fix for this?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Download and install esfile explorer.
Run goto menu ,settings about 2/3 down the page check root explorer, I leave mount system unchecked until I need to write to it.
Go back to main page
Click menu then manager , then sd card analyst. It will scan sdcard and sort by size largest down.
Hope this helps.

That worked! Looks like HTC sync was making duplicate copies of my music each time I was syncing it. Deleted Music and installed doubletwist, problem solved!

has anyone tried this on the Rezound? I have and it errors out while trying to backup either locally or online via dropbox, box, etc.
Trying to figure out if its all rezounds or maybe my custom ROM that is the culprit.

beta worked fine on my rezound. the release market app is doing the same thing you described above. i sent koush a log already and was talking to him on G+ about it.
Just use datasync beta. Same thing, but with more features and does cloud backup for free

yeah, sent him logs as well but can't get it working. First beta didn't work either for me and didn't try the updates. Asked him through google+ to remove rezound from list of compatible devices since this doesn't seem to be getting fixed. Don't mind supporting devs, but its completely broken for our device, and so far no support or answers why.
Does this REALLY WORK TO NOT ROOTED MOBILES???????????
Can REALLY backup all the apps WITH THEIR SETTINGS??????
Does it try it anyone to tell us if it is work?
A lot of thanks.

if phone is rooted, it can be backed up to sd card. You have to have the paid app to restore apps though. Its in the play store.
Already tell that I am not root.
And I believe the better feature of the prg is that work even to no root mobiles because if i have a root mobile why I use that prg and not the titanium pro?????!?

I don't know what to tell you. If you aren't rooted, then you have to back up to your computer and you say that you can't get your computer to see it.

Carbon App sync is a bit wobbly on my S3 (running JB 4.1.2.) - can backup to Dropbox but not Google Drive, whereas on my Asus TF101 (running JB 4.2.1) it does both!
datasync beta runs 100% on both!

I realized I was almost out of storage so I looked into my files but if you look at the pic I only have 3 or so gigs used but it says over all 8 gigs used out of 11.. What I am I missing? I know the OS takes up space but the is 11 to 16 gigs it takes up??

/data and /sdcard share the 11 GB on the phone, so I'd gues you have a lot of apps or some very large ones. :good:
EDIT - Before I get corrected, /data uses all the space, and /data/media gets fused to /storage/sdcard0, and THAT gets sym-linked to /sdcard.
I had the same thing happen to me. Found out that astro filemanagers cache was over 7 gigs. Cleared the app cache and instantly had my space back. Still don't understand how it happened but was easy enough to fix.

Go thru settings>storage, and run the cache/app cleaner. If you are still having the issue and you have deleted big apps that you don't use. Delete your titanium backup files. Only do a TB right before you flash a new rom. Also if you have multiple nandroid backups, those are about 1.3gb of data each. so do the same as TB. delete backups and only make a backup right before you are about to flash a rom. Takes a lil bit longer if you are a avid flasher, but saves space this way, and always ensures that you have a fresh backup to restore to.
So I went through and got rid of some and I am still well over 6 GB. The reason I am trying to clear space was for recovery so on to my next question when backing up through TWRP do I have to back up data or can I just back up my system

Get a usb-otg cable from amazon. Use it to plug in a thumb drive to your DNA. The newest versions of TWRP support usb-otg so you can backup or restore from a usb device. It saves you from taking up 2-3gb on your phone. Here is the cable I bought

I have my Droid DNA 16gb.
It shows 11.44GB of total space. I'm assuming it's not counting what is taken by the OS.
It shows 4GB available.
It shows 680MB used for Apps and everything else combined.
So if 680MB is being used, where the heck did my other 6GB of storage go to?
Is there an app that can be more accurate than the built in storage app?

Never used it, just CWM. I just installed this rom (CM10.1) on my DNA, and did a factory reset before I did.
One thing I noticed though, is that even though my files are gone I could still see some of them when I ran DiskUsage. I deleted them, even though they showed as 0bytes.
Right now DiskUsage is showing that I have an 12GB storage card. 7GB is used for "System data" and 4GB is free.
I'm so confused. This is a 16GB phone, but none of the math is adding up.
any music? games that required further content download after downloading from the play store? other then that you should have something like 13 gbs free with cm10.1 installed well atleast i did.
