Okay, you know when u go to task manager, then u click on the Storage part...
Mine shows, 3 different storage locations, and how much is stores there...
First is System Storage
Second is USB Storage
Third is SD Card Storage
For some reason, everything on my phone, is only going to the USB storage now & so I have no room left.
I have lots of games & apps on my phone... Most I "moved to SD card".. Or so I thought...
If I go to an app & it says that it is installed on SD card, wouldn't that mean that it is on the SD Card storage??
I can't figure out why all my USB storage is gone now & I have almost all my SD Card storage space still available...
What could be the issue here?? It never used to be like this..
Anyone have any ideas.as what I can do to resolve this issue..
Any input, would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks guys!

The phone saves everything to the internal storage natively. I don't remember if the stock rom labels the internal as SD card and the external as external_SD or if it's just calk's rom. But if it does that could explain why when your trying to push stuff to the SD it's not working since the phones reads internal as SD card. You could try and look in the settings if your using an app to push stuff and specify the location or there's a thread in general I believe that shows how to make your external your "internal" storage and anything new should be saved to it.

Tried to download the game Horn but to no avail. It tells me that my 16GB external SD card is full, even though its completely empty. Has anyone else had this issue and fixed it?
I'm running lightROM v0.4. I had my friend look at it and he copied the files over, but it still says it full, even with all the game files there.

Its probably trying to put it on the internal storage... link the files with a symlink to the "sdcard" from the external SD which is the inbuilt storage and your 16 gig respectively.

May I suggest a 3rd party app called "link2sd". Its pretty simple to use and u can do a lot with it. The only thing u need to do is read the instructions of the app, that state u must have a second partition on ur sd card, and boom, u have secondary storage on ur phone, and now I can play me some ME Inflitrator, Madden 12, etc.

It's an app. I had to uninstall Hotels.com due to this same problem.

How the hell can I figure which app?

I had this same problem. Are you using an external sd card? If so remove it. Reset battery statistics and see if it is still draining. Also take note of what processes media server is using. I had to reformat my sd card... And put the files I wanted on it back on... Now everything works fine. Apparently I had a few files on my sd card that forced media server to be in a scanning loop.

Also, if you've ever linked that phone/sd to a Mac computer either via phone or sd card slot, Macs put erroneous files onto sd card. So I suggest formatting the sd card via phone or via a Windows system. FYI.

The physical sd card. My problem was that I have used that sd card since the days of my nexus one. When I took a look at that sd card on my mac and viewed the hidden files there were some odd files on it. So I did some googling and come to find out some of those files would craft problems with Android. So I backed up all my music and pics from the sd card into a Windows system. Then I reformatted the card, threw the files back on. And voila, it worked. I have seen on other forums that people have had this problem. Some of which weren't running sd cards. .. But this seemed to fix my problem. I must also add that I didn't narrow the problem down 100%. While reformatting I also deleted a lot of files from previous applications. So that not too say that maybe those particular files weren't causing the problems.

Sorry to bother you guys once again. But I'm still having some issues with my.phone storage. I can't figure out why everything is installing onto my USB storage instead of my SD card.
I don't really know how to exactly explain it. So what I did was take a screenshot of before and after, to try to show you what I mean...
This first screenshot is taken of an app I have. I went to my.task manager then to the downloads tab, and I chose an app that said it was "installed on device".. & this is what it says:
*(look at 1st picture)*
Ok.. So I click.on the "move to SD card" button, hoping to move it to the card.. I wait a few, then this next picture, is what it says after:
*(look at 2nd picture)*
I thought it was supposed to move it to SD card, but if you look at the numbers, there is still nothing on the SD card..
Why is this happening.. & how can I fix it, so it actually moves to the card? I'm running out of space on my USB storage..
Please help. Thanks guys
So, anyone have any.ideas.on how to fix my.storage issue?? Any.suggestions?? My.USB storage is almost full & my card is basically.empty.. I need to figure out what the problem is... I would appreciate any help at all. Thanks guys.

Are you on a stock ROM or on a JB leak?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
When you go to settings > storage and press the menu button is there an option for storage location? If there is switch it from internal to external. USB storage(internal) is seen as an SD card so move to SD moves it to rhe internal SD which has mucb higher read write speeds than an external class 10. You can also swap you camera location to external and download location to external and use internal for all apps. Even if you swap locations you're going to be limited to one or the other you can't use both at once for apps2sd

I went to settings, storage, then pushed menu button, but nothing happens. No menu came up.
I want everything to basically go to my external SD card. Any other way to default to my card??

So there's low system storage on this device, and there's not an option to move the apps to the SD card. Is there any mod that will let me do it :/? And btw this phone is AWESOME!

From what I've read that's something with 4.2.2
They use the internal storage as a simulated sd, and the actual sd is a completely different thing, that you apparently can't put apps on. Good for movies, pictures, or any kind of media but it looks like app2sd is dead at this time
Does anyone know how to get apps over to the sd card. Did some searching online, and seems that it was an issue no one was having luck with bc your typical Apps2sd type applications were not working.
