I've searched for this similar problem prior to posting. Forgive me if I overlooked it. My total storage space is 12.05 GB (16 GB version). Here's the breakdown of what's currently used:
Apps - 0.93 GB
Audio - 220 KB
Downloads - 522 MB
Available space remaining 5.73 GB.
What's occupying the other (roughly) 5 GB of space?? It was showing a lot more accurate prior to trying out custom ROMs. Currently running cm-10 9/02 update. Had the same issue running Paranoid Android cm-10. Any ideas?

It turns out the storage space I was referring to is being taken up by CWM blobs (over 3 GB). Thanks for your help though

Could you please post the path to where you found that 3 GB of CWM Blobs.
Thanks
I am just so pissed that I bought this phone because we can't move our apps to the SD card like you can on almost all other android phones. I can't understand, with all the great developers on XDA that this hasen't been addressed. Am I the only one that really finds that apps to SD is really helpful?

I found this frustrating also. I didn't think twice about buying the 16GB AT&T since it had a MicroSD slot and I was under the impression that apps could be installed on SD just like pre-ICS android devices. I have a Nook Color running CM7 and it is soooooo flexible with storage. One plus, it does seem a lot harder to fill android devices with 12Gb of apps than my IOS devices.
I think it would be a lot better if the OS at least tried harder to reserve the internal "SD" for apps and pushed data, music, downloads etc... to the external SD if installed.
I am really happy I found HighOnAndroid ROM. It actually swaps the SD card and internal memory so that the phone now has 29 gigs. The rom is smooth and the battery is great. This is the only rom I know of that even deals with this storage issue at all (as far as I know)

Thanks, I cleared mine also.
I have to ask this again. I don't think many of the dev look at this General list but here goes.
Why are all the devs (from what I can see after many hours of reading and trying roms) ignoring this storage problem we have on the G3. I would think that this would be right up there at the top of the list as this phone almost renders a 32gig or 64gig card useless.
Like I said above, I am using HighOnAndroid ROM which is the only one that even comes close to addressing this issue by swapping the external SD with the internal one giving me 29gigs on my 15gig S3 (again, excuse me if I am wrong here).
I was planning on going back to stock when JB comes from sammy but without this fixed I either stay with HighOnAndroid ROM or get the new Note 2.

Finally got a 32g SD now I wanna move apps there. What's the best way?

I gave up trying other methods and I just resorted to using Directory Bind on the things I cared most about.
What about the apps to sd apps on the market?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
I don't think you can move apps to SD anymore. It was either after ICS or JB that its not supported. My friend uses a mod that switches the internal and external storage. If I can find the mod I'll link you to it.

This app works perfectly. So far no problems.
I swear I'm not trying to be rude
Why would you want to do that? Our phones have ample storage now, it's not like the old days with the Nexus One. The internal NAND is way faster anyhow.
If you think less than 12 GBs of useable space is sufficient or ample these days, then we've certainty got a failure to communicate. LOL
A few gameloft titles and that ample space is toast...

True novel haha. I want a way to make phone think that my sd card is part of my internal. There's a mod called externalsd something in the international forum. But it's not released yet.

Yes it will change it but till now nothing all you to move apps.
The image you have there is not showing your actual device's memory--which I believe, with that mod, would show as your SD Card memory.
While you might feel its better to at least have more memory than the meager 12GB +/- of the device, the fact remains that, that isn't how its supposed to look or work.
Today when I flashed CleanROM ATT 1.2, regardless of what kernel I flashed, I couldn't get that SD <--> Internal memory swap method to work the way it used to so I gave up and just did totally clean install, SD card and all.
It bothered me more than not having enough memory for caboodles of games.
Here is how it show. I attached earlier a bad screen capture..

Hello there,
I don't know if this is a repost, but I wasn't able to find the thread when I initially was diving into this (I apologize if it is).
This method is simple, and works beautifully with my Note 2 (i317m) Telus model.
This is for anyone who wants to EXPAND THEIR INTERNAL MEMORY by swapping it with their SD Card space, check out this method (works with many ROMs out there):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUF7R0mmk00&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I tried it on my JEDI X11 using a 64gb SanDisk card, and it works extremely well.
Hope this helps others as well.

Thanks budy its very helpful because i use it my other android device it work properly:laugh::good:
This is great except it doesn't work on any ROM that isn't Touchwiz based. And honestly, who is going to stick with the stock Touchwiz? It's garbage compared to other ROMs out there.
This mode needs 6+ Generation Fast SD card. Normal SD card doesn't make any sense.
So does anyone have the
DBT-I9505XXUBMEA
version for T-mobile yet?
Official, leaked, any.
It is only for the i9500 and i9505 so far. It appears to have fixed the blurring/tearing issue and allows you to move apps to the SD.

Hopefully this isn't samsungs answer to having only 9 gigs of usable internal storage. I still want them to "optimize" the phone so that we can at least get 12-13 gigs of usually internal storage. That or give out high speed 16 or 32 gig sd cards to everyone so that we don't see a performance difference when we do run apps from the sd card

Or you can just flash a i9505 rom..... I have it now and samsung ''fixed'' the screen issue by making the settings background not black, but some form of grey..

Someone seems to have an attitude for no reason.
And no, allot of us didnt have the chance to check out the phone before we bought it, because we bought it as soon as the order page went up. And sorry if i think that if you advertise something as 16 gigs, you should at least get pretty close to 16 gigs, not 9. Its people like you who always say "they dont owe us anything" that nothing changes.
Allot of us feel that we got screwed, and we let Samsung know that. If enough people complain, they WILL do something about it.
I flashed a cwm flashable XXUBMEA ROM. and i can't change my apn to fast.t-mobile.com to change to the LTE apn... when i try to change it to IPV4/IPV6 I can't because it's grayed out. so you cant tap it.
Just a quick update. I did flash the XXUBMEA to my T-Mobile S4, but I was having some issues. like my calls kept dropping, and a bunch of apps would freeze and have to force close, like hill climb racing, facebook, twitter, XDA-developers app to name a few. thankfully i made a nandroid back up before flashing XXUBMEA so now i'm back on MDL.
can you post link to which one you flashed?
Sure it's http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22979706399755386 make sure you open the zip and change the boot.Img from the kernel to a t mobile kernel.

I used that one for a bit and didn't like it. They deleted some essential apps and widgets like the play store, youtube street view, and the stock weather widget. Also the dual camera doesn't work. I had to ODIN the MDL back. I'm looking for full stock MEA ROM deodexed TWRP flashable zip.
Hi all...

This tends to be more a kernel issue than anything else - though truth be told I know little on the nuances of using the mighty 64GB sd card That being said - what kernel are you using? Perhaps that could help someone more knowledgeable in offering you assistance.

Nice - and fwiw kernels can be a bit independent of rom outside of major os differences (e.g. ics vs. jb, aosp vs. TW) - I don't think I've heard of any 4.1.x TW kernel not working at all for all users of a particular TW rom for T889 users anyway. My scope is limited though so I could very well be wrong on that (though I know that one works fine on Tweaked).

Im a tweaked loyalist and been running saber for a while! Idk what to do with it but im already in contact with ebay seller "Kingston 64gb class 10" to get a refund!
I just flashed my first rom. It was very straight forward and easy. My tablet also seems to run quite a bit smoother now.
My one problem is all of the internal memory is not being recognized. My total memory is being registered as 10 gigs however I have 9 gigs free.
It seems like it didn't affect my free space, but maybe there is a hidden partition on the drive? I already tried a wipe and restore but it had no affect.
