Memory problem - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

When u look in the settings>storage I can see my phone and sd card storage. When I look in the phone storage through settings it shows a bunch if files that show up in root explorer as my sd card files. I don't see the same directories as my HTC phone had for storage. So /sdcard is my sd card. What directory is the phone storage under? Just / or?

Is the directory that root explorer pulls up by default the phone storage?

mnt/extsdcard is what I was looking for. Fyi if anyone needs it.

Is the way samsung name them which sucks but if you want to moved just files between sd card and internal, use the stock file manager the comes with TW

SD card is your internal memory and if you go to mnt SD cardext that's your external SD card

SD card space

When I went to copy a rom to my sdcard, it said my card was full. I figured it was because of old nandroid backups, so I deleted them, but the sd card space has actually gone down instead of freeing up space.
???
I'm baffled. Anyone know how to fix this?
What size sd card and where did you get it?
It is the one that came with my Incredible.

Is it possible to delete everything from my SD card and start new? It's saying there is 1.8gb total, but only 28mb available.
Or can I flash roms using my phone storage?

You can just format it (FAT32). Backup what you need. And maybe store stuff on the internal storage. You have to use the SD card for ROM's etc.

Does anybody know how to move apps from the internal memory to th ext sd card coz am running out of memory!!

Folder mount or use script manager and the galaxy note app 2 SD script. Beware. You will get some minor quirks you will need to fix. Like ringtone sounds getting lost or camera not knowing where to store images until you retick where.

Transfer the big files of your sd card to the external sd card, so you'll have more space on internal sd card.

Swap SD Card. Get an external SD, then put it in. Move all the files from the internal to external sd After that, go to /system and find build.prop. scroll down and find "Change 1 to enable swapping SD cards" and change the 0 to 1. Ensure the system using R/W before editing. Save and reboot.

[Q] Making External SD Card the default External SD Card, not Emulated?

Hello,
My unrooted Galaxy Note 8 has an external SD card, but it doesn't use it to download and store files as it should onto the SD card. Instead, it uses an emulated SD card from a partition in its internal memory. I want it to use the actual external SD card and not the emulated partition. How do I change that?
I know you can change that directly from the kernel when you're building it in order to enforce that on boot.

Thanks. But can I do that with an unrooted version?

External vs Internal sdcard

I've read in a couple places people talking about putting your ROM image onto external or internal sdcard. What is the internal sdcard? Is this just the phone's standard internal file system or is it something separate? Where is it if I look in a file manager?
Related question: if I use internal storage to upload a ROM image I want to flash, where's the best place to put it? Right in / (root)? Or somewhere better?
Basically it's your internal storage:

Internal storage is a 9GB partition on your phone's 16GB internal memory. It acts as if it was any other SD card.
It works fine in conjunction with an external SD card. You will see SD0 and SD1 in any file explorer app. SD0 is the internal. SD1 is the external.
It doesn't matter if you put the ROM you want to flash on the internal or external. Recovery can see it in either place. And the directly doesn't matter. Jus tput it in a directyory you can remember when you're looking for it in recovery. I think most peopl ejus tuse the defaul DOWNLOADS directory.
I usually put the ROMs I'm going to flash in internal storage, but I erase them a lot.

Yes, in root.

Thanks for the replies!
When using the different wipe options in recovery, does the 9GB internal partition (sd0) get wiped by any of the typical wipe choices?
Wiping data does.
