I was putting files on my SD Card from my computer and I noticed I was using up a lot of space. When it got down to like 3.24 GB remaining, I decided to delete stuff off the card to free up some space. I deleted just about everything, but it is still displaying 3.24 GB as the amount of available space. what is going on here? How do I fix this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a CM port and currently facing issues with vold. For some weird reason, vold isn't mounting storage devices as it should. Here is my current vold.fstab file:
Code:
dev_mount flash /storage/sdcard0 auto /devices/platform/mtd/mtd8/media nonremovable
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/AMLOGIC_CARD/card_host/memorycard0.
Using adb I can confirm that everything is mounted correctly and also I can browse the files. Using applications (even MediaScanner) fails with permission errors. This is how I'm creating the storage folders, for user/permissions reference:
Code:
# Create mountpoints
mkdir /mnt 0775 root system
export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /storage/sdcard0
export SECONDARY_STORAGE /storage/sdcard1
mkdir /storage 0550 system sdcard_r
mkdir /storage/sdcard0 0000 system system
mkdir /storage/sdcard1 0000 system system
[code]....
I have also noticed that the system reports different owner/group/permissions through adb and Terminal Emulator. Here are the outputs:
Code:
root@android:/ # ls -la /storage/
d---rwxr-x system sdcard_rw 1970-01-01 02:00 sdcard0
d---rwxr-x system sdcard_rw 1970-01-01 02:00 sdcard1
d--------- system system 2013-09-05 02:29 usbdisk0
[code]....
I'm suspecting storage_list.xml, but I checked mine and seems correct. Also, it doesn't define permissions, so I excluded that.How can I further debug this? Logcat doesn't show anything useful, everything seems fine with vold.
My phone keeps telling me I'm low on space, but I cleaned out my sd card and I know I haven room. Just today my phone at the top scroll bar said I was running low on space, and that my text memory was full even though I only had very few.
View 7 Replies View RelatedDoes it make the phone more laggy? Because I've used about 7GB of my 8GB, and was wondering would it speed up my phone as its become a bit lagggy at time. I was planning to take about 4GB away of music but I really don't want to. Just seeing if it would be worth it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I have been quite perplexed as to how my SD card was filling up so quickly. I would try out a ROM for a while, make a Nand backup, have about three of those on the phone at a time, always making a copy onto my computer. And yet it seemed like every time I deleted old Nands and ROM from my phone, my space continued to get smaller and smaller, until today I was down to 900 and some odd megabytes. I don't have that much music or other media stuff on my phone, so I plugged my phone in, went through and deleted more music, videos, etc. off of my phone. Turns out, while I had my phone mounted (I use a Mac), and I dragged files from the phone into the trash can in the dock-- it wasn't actually deleting the files from my phone, but merely putting them in the "Trash" folder on my SD card. So I went through using Astro and deleted everything in there. AND I'm back up to fish gigs. not sure if anyone else might have made the same mistake, or if I completely outed myself as a NEW B, Whew, what a relief though.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm looking to get a microSD card for my EVO by the 4th and I want to know what I should go for. I know Class 6 is the fastest, so that's what I thought I wanted to get and I wanted to get a 16gb but it looks like it's $80 on Amazon. Now, that's damn expensive for 16gb of storage and I'm not used to buying storage for my phone since I've had an iPhone. Is it worth it to drop to a lower storage capacity or a lower speed? How much of a difference does the transfer speed make on the phone? Does it hinder the speed of the phone at all? Also, for those lucky bastards that got the HTC EVO ahead of time, what kind of card comes with it?
View 10 Replies View RelatedKind of a strange issue, and I'm not sure if this is an Evo issue, android issue, or if I have a weird SD card. On my SD card, when I put my music on, it takes up 5GB, but it doesn't take up nearly as much space on my iPod Touch? Is this due to the way iTunes pulls songs from CDs (where most of my music comes from)? Or am I doing something wrong?

View 1 Replies View RelatedRecently I started using 32GB card with my Micromax Canvas HD and everything is working only for when I try to connect my mobile to PC for file transfer via usb storage I can see only two drive one of CD drive of mmx and other internal sd drive and I can see one more drive but it is not mounted which is my external sd drive when clicked on it, it asked to enter disk.
Solution tried so far by me
1. I have erase external sd card in mobile itself.
2. Reset the entire phone.
3. Uninstalled the mmx driver on my PC and reinstalled it.
are they both NAND Flash storage device? the only difference is that the inner one is fixed to the device and difficult to remove from device, while the sd cards are removable, any other differences?
View 1 Replies View RelatedNow I need some information about SD card storage. I know that the API Environment.get External Storage Directory() can return SD card path. But if an Android phone have some no-removal SD card, how do I get this storage information. I think the removal able SD and no-removable should be at different path.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI rooted a few weeks back and very happy with everything apart from I keep getting low on space notification for my phone storage, when I rooted I didn't bother with partitioning my sd card as read about Mod Install Location which basically forces apps to be installed onto the sd card and didn't think I would need to install anything on my internal storage but it seems I keep getting low storage notification. So I am assuming some of the apps I install have to use a little bit of the internal memory? I used Cache Mate and checked all the apps etc. So considering doing the partitioning to trick my phone to think it has more space but wondering will I lose everything or have to back it up? Or any other tips to free up internal space as it seems ROM I am using (neophyte 1.6) didn't free up much space.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI can't seem to find a setting on the phone that directs storage to the handset or the card so if a card is installed does that just make it the default storage dump then? I'm confused.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy internal storage is currently 337 MB. I was planning on buying a bigger SD card, either 16GB or 32GB. I'm very new to everything with Androids and have never been big with computers. I read that if I want a lot of applications and everything that I would have to root the phone because the internal storage is so limited and then move everything to the SD card. I tried rooting the phone, it didn't work (I didn't mess up anything with the phone, probably just missed a step), but considering I still know so little about all this I decided it would be better to wait with rooting. Will I be fine with not rooting my phone and picking up a bigger SD card or will my phone run very slow once I start installing a lot of stuff?

View 4 Replies View RelatedBricked my Maxell Maxtab C8 while trying to exchange the Internal USB storage with the SD Card. The only thing that happens when it boots is that the Android Boot logo comes up and stays there forever. I have managed to get it in some kind of recovery mode (image of cute green little android laying on it's back with with a red triangle), have also managed to install Android SDK manager and issued the command "adb devices" in shell - reporting "{serialnumber} recovery".
I need firmware to put on the device, where I can find that? Does not need to be original (4.1.1), I'm satisfied if I get it to work again.
As far as I know it's some kind of MID tabled branded Maxell, at least it said that in the settings while it still worked, and also Windows claimed that.
Yesterday I received my Huawei Honor 3C and I've installed MIUI ASAP instead of Emotion UI. Everything's great but I have a problem with double SD Card, I mean: I have my own external card and the phone got his own by emulating it's internal storage as SD Card (it's a symlink to /storage/emulated/0 and it's the same as /storage/emulated/legacy, so this fake sd is eating up my storage, there are also other symlinks in /storage/, /mnt/ and even in root folder there is a symlink sdcard->/storage/emulated/legacy). Phone and apps are correctly seeing external card as SD Card but in reality the internal storage is being used for everything.Because of this I have only about 5GB available instead of 64GB
Is there any way to terminate the emulation or changing it's target to sdcard2 so that I could use my card correctly? I've tried few things but nothing works. Symlinks are being recreated during boot so editing or deleting them does not work. Editing vold.fstab does nothing because ext is being mounted after boot while the emulation stars while in it - I guess that a proped ini script could do the work.
have managed to root my phone successfully and do the resurrection install but my problem is everytime i try to download an mp3 app it tells me it cant access USB storage or SD card and wont install it i've tried with USB debugging on and off but doesnt work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I look at the settings and "SD card and phone storage" option I see the different types of storage. Based on what I see, please verify the following assumptions are correct. The external SD card is obviously the one I added. I assume it can be used to store media files (via USB, direct write on a PC, etc.). I read until Froyo we won't be able to install apps on this card.
The internal SD card is what is built into the phone for apps and other things those apps write to the phone.
Looks like Google Listen writes to this area (can't make it write to the external SD and not sure why). It appears that the only things writing to there are my camera and of course any music, pics, or videos I load on there directly. Nothing else seems to make use of it. The internal phone storage is for things like the OS and is pretty much off limits. When I go into the "My Files" app on the phone it dumps me into the home directory which happens to be /sdcard. I assume this is the internal SD card? Under that directory it also has "/sd" which appears to be my external SD card. Why would they make it look like "/sd" is a subdirectory of "/sdcard" when it's not?
I heard that your sms texts are stored on your phone's internal memory and not the sd card. Are there anyways you can back it up to the sd card? or set sms automatically to be stored on the sd card?
btw, does anyone know how to browse the files on the sd card? does eris let you do that? ive tried looking but couldn't figure it out.
How do I move the music from my internal storage to my sd card?I always used to use my laptop but it's fried now.

My problem is that when I install any app from google play, it installs on internal storage. If I want to move it to sd card, the only option available is move to phone storage. I have selected SD Card as default write disk.
