Just looked at my 16 GB T999. Total 12.05 GB, 5.xx GB free. That means 7 GB total used. The screenshot shows about 2 GB for apps and music. I have only 1 CWM backup. Surely Android 4.1 cant take up 5 GB? Where has this space gone to?
Check your file manager. Whatd does it say is used/free for /sdcard?

eMMC stands for embedded multi media card. Its basically the SD that came with your phone. You can use an app called storage analyzer to see what is taking up space on the emmc .

SD Card: 31.9 gb ( 16.7 gb free)
So it cant be in internal storage...?...can someone PLEASE help...i need to lower that Stat...lol...thanks in advance... ;-)
2 phones, both run exactly the same apps, aside from the rooted one that runs cwm, titanium backup, setcpu, Dropbox.
1 phone - rooted, running stock ics, frozen apps, lean!
2 phone - stock ics.
Memory usage is less on the stock phone.
Ram manager
1 550mb
2 407mb
Applications running
1 451
2 380
What gives? I thought freezing was supposed to free up more memory...
How in the he*l do you have 450 applications???
Mine is more like your #1 but with over 50 more apps added, and I still have only 192, total, running and non running...
And the memory stays around 350.

Ya no one uses even ten percent of those apps.

Sorry, those aren't apps running, it's mb of memory used.
No 2 phones are the same...

Thanks

the sub categories only measure specific folders not the entire card. like pictures, videos reports the size of the DCIM folder.
If you add up the different sections it will not include things like CWM backups and custom folders that you add I add folder for CWM zip files called ZIPS to the root of my card
If you look at mine it does the same thing, they dont add up.
but if you look at the details of the internal card from my root file manager it shows I have 7GB used which does add up. dont forget the size differences from GB to MB. 1GB is not 1,000MB
Thanks. So I'll have to erase some back up to free some space, no?
EDIT: it seems that "others" is using the most memory, upon looking up it seems like Titanium Backup folder is the culprit. Some advice?
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
you can transfer your titanium backup files to pc.
Could I transfer them back with no problems later today even if the apps update?
I'll try, thanks
I did but it just freed 6 Gb, it still has a lot of space occupied by "others"..

yes you can get it back without problems, look again into your folders.
Check the cwm recovery folder for outdated/unused backups.
When connected to PC you can right click on all the root folders of the sd card and check properties for folder sizes. This should be easier than tapping on phone. That is if your not already doing this.
You may even find a storage app from the market.

I'm new to S4, came from Hercules. Running darthststalker, love the rom. I'm running low on storage space. No music or pics right now. Have about 900 mb left. Any ideas?

Do you have any nandroid backup? Those take up a good chunk of spaces. Thread title say system space our did you mean internal sd space?

The total available user memory of all variants of the Galaxy S4 is 9GB .
The rest of the 16GB's are used by the phone's firmware/rom.
And NO the number or size of nandroid backups will not give
you more or less TOTAL available/usable memory.
The more of that 9GB of memory you use up with nandroid
backups or anything else the less you will have leftover.
It makes NO difference how big or many megabytes your rom is.
The additional 6GB's are pre-allocated for the phone to be used
by the firmware/rom and cannot be changed or altered.
Check it out, here are the full specs:

scroll down until you see "memory"and read the specs. carefully.
Good luck!
Thank you. That makes sense. Gonna have to get a big sd card then!

So, I keep getting a low memory storage space message on my phone. Looking at my memory settings it doesn't quite add up. Simple math. Any help? Thanks

What are the Specs on your phone ? Is it a 16 GB or 32 GB version ?
The screen shows 12 GB total space. That sounds about right if its a 16 GB version. First try a factory Reset to see the same numbers then. Otherwise you may have to repartition the phone.
16 gig version. Thanks for your help.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
In that Case your 12 GB sounds about right. Please do a factory Reset and then Look at the information. Also try the DiskInfo app.
