Hello!
Yesterday I've upgraded my rom to 4.4.2 KitKat NC5. Right now after I'm trying to do backup with my Titanium Backup app batch backup for new system and user apps I'm getting the message "Batch backup interrupted. Insufficient free storage space", I still have 20 gb of free space on my SD card. How can I fix it?

The only fix I found was to delete the /data/date folder and then factory reset.
Hope that helps.

Did you mean /date folder for Titanium Backup on SD card? All settings and so on? Or this is something else?

I think all problems appears because for some reason Titanium Backup says my SD card folders not writable and I don't know how to fix it.

Sorry, big fingers on a small keyboard, I meant to delete the /Data/Data folder in Root on internal storage...

I've tried everything but only this has worked.

So I was having this same problem but the aforementioned fixes didn't address the external SD card. I figured out that the error message is a bit misleading and that the actual problem was that the backup storage location wasn't writable by TiBU. searching on that issue I found the below post and modified the platform.XML file using root explorer. The original platform.xml on my phone looked a bit different than bleez99's. This is how I changed the file:
Before mod:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
</permission>
After Mod:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
A reboot is required for changes to take effect.
All credit to bleez99 for this fix. If this helps you please thank his post below.

edit:
For those worried about moding system files I haven't seen any adverse side effects from this mod. This might be anecdotal but I figure if anything does go screwy I(or you) can always change the file back in 2 min.

So I was running latest DroidTheory rom. And because im a retard. I decided to go into recovery and WIPE WIPE ALLL. This included the "mounts and storage > format SD card". Now my phone wont boot up at all. It stays on the "HTC" screen
Im freaking out and I dont know what to do
When I go into Bootloader I see that I still have S-OFF. So i guess I aint that screwed .... Any thoughts?

I am always afraid of doing something like that, or having my SD card go bad. I make a copy of my SD card every couple weeks and keep it stored on my PC.
before you put anything else on your sd card pull it and put it in a card reader and try to run a data recovery tool on it. when you formated you didnt delete it all it just told the sd card that it could now write over everything, esecially making it empty, but its still there untill you write anything else to it

Keep that in mind because that is how all data storage works. I had an SD card go bad and lost 300+ pictures from an amine convention; a free program was able to retrieve all but 10 images. Also, this is why, when throwing out any storage medium, DESTROY it so that no one may recover your data. In the case of selling something they make programs that will rewrite the data until it cannot be recovered.
With enough time, patience, and thousands of dollars, you to can have your data recovered off of a burnt hard drive...

Hi, yesterday I bought the Galaxy Player 3.6 8GB. Now when I look at my available memory it's far from 8GB, so I have 4.73GB internal memory and Internal device storage I have 1.86GB. Already rooted so have delete some of the stock apps but every app I removed just gave me more internal device storage and I would rather have it as internal memory storage of course, Is there any way to do this?
My other question is that there is a lot of apps installed that are actually phone apps (dialer, etc) would this give problems if I remove these seeing as I will never use it to make phone calls.
Thanks in advance
That is on all devices..i have nexus 16 gb and 13 gb free..rest is system files.

Well yes, I know the OS was going to take something but was shocked how much it took, so the remaining 1.86 Internal device storage I have left is unable to merge with my internal memory storage?

There is a 2GB /data partition (where apps are) and a 5GB /sdcard partition (where your files are). You cannot combine them.

So if I install apps they will go into the data partition and not in the sdcard partition or is the data partition only for the stock apps?

Stock apps are on /system. Apps from the market go in /data, unless you move them to the external SD, and then they will go there.

Assuming you are on CM10:
If you're looking in .android_secure, that is the app itself, and that bug is fixed with the latest kernel (uploading now).
Otherwise, you are looking at game data. To move that to external, uncomment the "switchablepair" line in build.prop and reboot. Note that any data in /storage/sdcard0/Android/data (mostly app cache) will not be moved, so you need to either copy it over before rebooting, or let it redownload.
For non-cm10 roms, all of the above applies except the bug and the exact line in build.prop. For example, some ROMs always have it uncommented, but have a line saying "ro.vold.switchexternal=0". In that case, change it to 1 to switch them.

for build.prop, i'm using this guide on how to access it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...ds-cse&usg=AFQjCNEe0O89F81Y5NpJ5mXVf7b4DRDO-g).
playing with this file seems a little dangerous. I'm using the following kernel and ROM.
[Kernel][JB][YP-G70] Mercurius v2

I see the following in the build.prob. Is that ok, or do I've to change something?

Switched from iPhone to S4.. Everything is on my SD card.. 16GB total, how do I have 108MB? Is there something I have on my phone that needs to be deleted that isn't showing up?
Look in your file explorer and see if you put pics or music in your device maybe before you stuck the external card in.. You may also have 2 copies, one in each place.
Check out "clean master" app too!

Under device, I see 2 SDs. 0 and extSdCard. I'm assuming 0 is internal since it says (9.52/9.62GB).
So I'm assuming things like TitaniumBackUp files are located there.. Thought they were in my external.. Any way I can move this to external, or is it not possible yet?

You can try moving your current Titanium Backup folder in your internal storage to your sd. I would recommend starting fresh and deleting your current Titanium folder in internal. Then go to your Titanium app, menu button and click on preferences, then scroll down to backup folder location and search for your SD location and create a new folder. All your apps will then save to your SD. Hope that helps.

That freed up about 500MB. Still seems like something is really off. In /storage, there are 3 folders.. sdCard0, extSdCard, and emulated. Seems like emulated is the problem? Has 2 folders within that (legacy and 0) which seems to be copies of sdcard0..

They are copies but they aren't duplicates if that makes any sense. Both are links to the same data.

Ok, gotcha. Do you know of anything else on my phone that's keeping my memory so low? Only about half of it is used and when looking through the phone I don't see anything that could be affecting the memory.. There should be about 7GB freed, not 500MB..

You can't scroll to folders. You actually have to type the location. The correct location ins /mnt/extSdCard.
I think I have seen this addressed somewhere before but I can not find it.
I have just updated to KitKat and am using Freeza's Stockish rom. When I try to run a restore in Mybackup, I am getting an error that says, Unable to write to sd card. Make sure the sd card is inserted properly, is not connected to your pc, and is not full.
When I go into Es file explorer, it shows all the files there.
How do I fix this?
I also see in Titanium backup that is says sd card not writable.
I GOT IT!!!

This seems to be a common problem on the deodex rom. I will post what I did to fix it. Just know when you go into a file explorer it is going to show 2 external sd cards. They are both the same, it just shows 2 now. You have to do a simple build prop edit with a program like root explorer. Just navigate to system/etc/permissions/platform.xml. long press on platform.xml and select open in text editor. Under WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE...Add this entry... <group gid="media_rw" />

The fix that I found allows me to do anything with the sd card.
I get the error when initially trying to copy the files.. seems like the error rests with the internal storage and not the sd card.

Here's an interesting read.
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2014/0...ote-3-android-4-4-problem-hits-micro-sd-card/
The "Problem" is not actually a problem apparently. Google actually designed KitKat this way. They are trying to keep as much as possible on internal storage.
I'm also on Freza's Stockish ROM and had the same problem. I can confirm that the platform.xml edit appears to fix the problem of not being able to write to the external SD.
But strangely, Titanium Backup still reports that the backup folder is not-writeable, but then when I run a backup it finishes successfully.

Yep, you can fix it. There's an easier fix.

The manual way of doing it.
/system/etc/permissions/platform.xml needs to be modified in a certain way.
"The /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml is modified to specify that all applications which have the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission are registered as members of the Android UNIX group "media_rw". Membership in this group is necessary to write to the MicroSD card."

Filemanager (eg. Total commander) will ask to set up permission when copying files from int. to ext sd without root. Not sure if it's a per app permission or system wide.
