[Q] External SD always full - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hi Folks,
Tried a few search with different word but my problem doesn't create any issues with the phone "itself".
My T989d is equipped with a microSD of 8Gb. Since I've started to root, ( stock rom ) my external storage was in the 50-60% full maximum... Now, I'm barely able to keep 347Mb of free space !! The only .zip file I kept on the card are the rom zip file I'm enjoying as a DD ( in case I don't like a new rom I'm testing once and then ), darkside superwipe and super cache. I can't even restore my apps that are back'd up...
Should I use less storage by backing up online via My Backup Pro and delete the other backup files ?
How / where can I find a list of files/folders I can delete to gain extra space ? Because since I'm testing roms, can't restore any apps since my external storage is always full !
I'm enjoying the Infamous 3.1 rom ( beside that I miss the swipe keyboard )
Thans for any advice or help, it is really appreciated !

Take a snap shot of ur storage in settings.

Ok so ur sd is full and ur internal has room. This is what i would do. Pop out sd card and put it an adapter and plug it i. To ur computer not using ur phone. Then see what u have that u want or buy a new 64/32gb card and transfer everything over and u will have plenty of room. Last time i had to do this it took a while to clear it out

[Q]ROM Manager default location?

Is there a way to get ROM MANGER to default to the Internal "SD" card for backups? It always goes to my external card.
I know I can manually launch clockworkmod and select "internal SD" but I would rather do it from within the O/S so I can name the files.
you can always rename the files however you like with any file editor to rename them
and you can move the zip files around to either Internal SD or External SD
personally i like them on the External SD better to safe space on my Internal SD
I do that but like the convenience of doing it from the O/S. I thought I preferred the external as well until yesterday. The reason I want to do that is because when I tried doing a restore from the external it kept crashing. Seems my 32GIG card is flaky (as these cards can be) and I couldn't restore. I know it's the card because it restored fine from the internal SD. The internal ram, not being a "card" is much more reliable and now I am too skittish to use the external MicroSd for backups.
PM Koush or sent him an email for a feature request on his CWR
to let user pick where the backup are kept
I think I'm missing something!?
It looks like it's included already?

Well I'll be a son of a b .......... I tried MENU everywhere except from the main screen! Dohhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Thanks for making me look foolish, I deserved it! But I don't feel that bad since Allgamer didn't recall either,
not exactly, i was thinking more in the area of Letting you select a Folder you like.
i do know of the internal vs. external option
that's why i said i like it to be on the external by default a few messages above
ideally we should be able to pick a folder to keep all that stuff, i'll like to point it to a folder called "ROMs" for example in the root of /sdcard/
instead of the default
(titanium backup just recently added that feature, well more like they improved it)

[Q] MIUI rom problem

after install the rom of MIUI
SD device is not work again,even can't connect to computer
anymethod to write the backup to the GN,does adb shell work?????
1) Gonna need more information to help you.
1a) what MIUI rom did you install and how did you install it
2) what trouble shooting steps have you already taken
3) you should probably look inside the thread from the rom that you used. Also posting your problems in there will most likely get them answered quicker by people who use that particular rom or the developer.

Are you connected to your computer when trying to read the SD card...... that would prevent it and give you that error. Seeing the android icon in the corner makes me think so

Can i use the adb shell putting the backup into the "'internal'" storage

No it doesn't.. that is a feature of MTP you can use the phone and virtual SD even while connected to a computer.. it is a problem with the MIUI rom.

Viewing internal (eMMC/USB) and external (SD) storage in Settings>Storage

Hi All
I have searched for answers to this in the forum and I can't find what I am looking for. I am sure some of you will have better search powers than me, congrats if you do.
I've rooted and flashed CM9 on my T989 and I have an SD card in the phone. I do not have much downloaded to my phone at all, as it is a fresh and clean install.
When I go to System>Storage I see the 'Internal Storage' at a paultry 1gb something and my SD card storage. But I do not see the 11gb eMMC/USB internal SD card.
Should I see three sets of storage, Internal, SD and eMMC/USB?

What cm9 version are you running? You should see two sections that at internal storage. One that gives you the 1.97gb (application stuff), another that gives you your "emmc" storage 11.whatever , and then obviously your sd card.
Similar to attached pics.

I do not have that. I am using the stable CM9. Not RC2.

I can toggle between eMMC and external but not see both at the same time.
Also, I can't transfer the apps on the SD card to the eMMC which I'd like to do to put a different SD card in.

Odd, sounds like it could be a bad flash...did you flash over a previous rom or is it a clean flash?

Showing High Internal SD Storage?

I'm having an issue with my phone showing that I only have 1 gig left on my internal SD, but when I look at the internal SD when I plug in my computer it only has 6.6 gigs on it. I have no idea what's causing so much space being taken up. I was down to 877 megs and cleared the cache of all my apps which brought me up to 1.07 gigs free, but that still doesn't compute. 12 gigs - 6.6 = 1.07? I'm using the ParanoidKANGdroid ROM with the second to last update but I was having this issue before when I came from AOKP and wasn't able to make a backup.
If anyone has any ideas please reply. Thanks in advance!

I had this happen back when I had an infuse 4g, on my phone it was all the backups I had made. Everytime I flashed a new rom I would make a backup. I had 6 or 7 old backups and once deleted my storage space was back. I can't say for sure this is your problem, but use a file explorer(I use root file explorer) and look at your backup folder.
Thanks that worked like a charm!

[Q] Can't see the SD of M8 on the PC (USB)

Hello there,
I have this M8 for almost a year now and I Love it!
Also, by using common sense (and the holly Google) I managed to find a solution for anything but now
it seems to escape me...
allow me to be rude/dirty/ugly:
I gut a big folder of porn on my SD named ".somethingy" (dot up front, for gallery invisibility).
and it was all well.
using USB I put/delete files in the folder, and using Filexpert app to view them.
When using the USB connection I could see 3 folders
1. Internal Storage
2. SD Card
3. ext_sd
now, I don't know what happened but
I can no longer see the ext_sd through USB!
Using Filexpert I can browse and watch the stuff but not with USB.
Any ideas/solutions?
Thanks in advance.,
Mch5.
Flash the modded firmware which contains a part of sense.. And you will see it again.. You must flash the rom new after that.. Find it in my gpe rom thread

Thank you for the reply.
This is an unrooted phone.
I was hoping to find a less destructive solution.
Than you could try to reformat the card or and reset the phone ?..

Tried reseting - didn't work.
Formating the SD - how will it help?
The SD is fully accessible by the phone just not(or partially) by USB.
It used to work! I had access, I have old files on it which I can view with the phone!
Can the filesystem spontaneously change? its not making sense!
but if it does, and did... I'll format it.
I want to understand.
Best way is still to root.. Twrp recovery.. Make a backup and start completely new with a stock like rom..
Btw.. Have you tried a other pc and cable..?

Thank You!
I've tried on a different PC and there, there was no drive at all.
and it seems that it failed to install the MTP driver, which make perfect sense with the issue!
so I went back to my PC, removed any HTC software&drivers,
manually downloaded HTC sync manager,
Installed it and the drivers included,
Uninstalled sync manager Only...
Now everything is perfect!
Thank You!

Try to place all the files from the SD on your phone or your pc
Then format the SD card via the buildin Windows tool
Make sure MTP is enabled under Storage on your phone
