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.

Try SD card analyst in ES File Explorer and see what is eating your memory
Or try SD Maid

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

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
Hello everybody. I have SGS2 GT-19100 running in Cyanogenmod 12.1. Has 12 GB internal storage and 8gb of external sd card.
I have been using this for about a month or 2, its really really fast. But I realized my phone becomes slower and slower because my applications uses too much storage. Every application use about 300-400 mb of storage. My internal storage has 200mb left and same as my external sd card, too.
Well the top #1 solution is that go to recovery TWRP or CWM and wipe internal storage and cache
but I'm just wondering if I can wipe up internal storage and cache WITHOUT deleting personal files and these applications because I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD IT AGAIN and it takes too much time. If there's any solutions what would it be?
I need help ASAP. Thanks :laugh:
There is no such thing as a wipe that will wipe the internal storage and keep all of your files. You could try SD maid to clean up any space that the apps may have taken. Or, you could wipe the app data manually off each app. However if there is some important app info you want to keep, this is probably what you are not looking for.
Delete the LOST.DIR folder if it exists in your internal storage. Keep all backups onto external sd. See what can be moved onto the sd card and if there isn't many, you may have figure out something else instead of deleting and wiping.
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.

On my previous ROM I had the SD card as part of the internal storage so it was all one big storage. Phone had 64gb and SD card is 128 so I had nearly 200gb
I upgrade the ROM by clearing the system, cache, dalvik etc as standard. Once upgrade it seems to only detect the SD card storage.
My settings show available 31gb out of total 128gb.
The phone system storage is at 74gb
But it's a fresh upgrade with hardly anything installed yet . Why is the system storage at 74gb?
This is on revolution os miuo 11
anyone have any ideas on this? at first i thought it may not be seeing the sd card, but i removed it from the phone and powered the phone on and it detects the sd card is missing and i dont see some apps..
Its frustrating as i dont see what is taking 74gb of my storage up. it is a relatively new install rom so it doesnt have loads of data or apps...
