I thought DCIM folder in the internal storage is untouched...
So frustrating!

Wipe data factory reset shouldn't touch internal storage when using a custom recovery. Are you using stock recovery?

This is correct. Back up anything you do not want to lose externally.

Drop Box
i think you also have 50 gig of drop box available to you...use it?
It can be set up to automatically upload your pictures to drop box after you take a picture.
Don't wipe data. Factory reset and wipe system. Data is where pics and other user data is kept.
Don't panick
I have ways to restore deleted pics from the phone,
PM me for the solution as it's a fairly long process..

Hi. I've been getting the insufficient storage' crap when trying to backup updated apps and have tried dalvik wipe, un install and reinstall of both app and pro key ect but problem persists. If I try to view the wiki or change log page I get 'account suspended' message. Sucks in short.
Anyone else having or had this problem? Any solutions?
Thanks.

As far as the insufficient storage, that sounds like you have your phone's memory all but filled up. Check in settings. Doubt wiping dalvik will really clear up that much room. If it is space, delete some Movies, music, and or pictures.
Edit: I just checked before and after dalvik wipe and the free space on the phone is the same. Which makes sense, since the dalvik cache will rebuild upon first boot.
Still have 8.5gig space. Strange as was running 4.04 after flashing the zip over 4.02 n had no problem. Flashed factory image of 4.04 today n now its a problem? Either way the "account suspended" thing really doesn't make sense

With around 90 gig of music on Google music, instant upload and the last four or so years worth of pics on Google photo/picasa, a good quarter of my library on Google books and a film or two for "just in case" viewing on my phone memory along with 62 apps including games like gta3 and shadowgun I still have over 8gig free... yes more space is better than less but in this case it hardly matters anyway, its sorted now so thanks so much for all the constructive assistance, maybe I can repay the favor one day

Hey guys, so I've seen many people with the 0 folder problem... Many people keep asking how to deal with it... A simple way would be just to backup your apps, pics and etc on to your computer. Then finally wipe your system and wipe your whole internal storage... After that just install another Rom and restore everything... Took me 20 min....

Nope, /0 is made on internal not data, so it wouldnt help either way
Mind if I just ask here what formatting data in recovery actually does? Also if I wipe internal data I lose anything on my sd right. I'm just s little hazy on this and there's no post to explain this

Select all files including .hiddens and move them back to the root of sd, then rename to 0 to .0 be happy.
Sent from my SPH-L710
how do you keep it from coming back when flashing new roms? always get new 0 folder when flashing or restoring.
That folder is created on all 4.2+ roms because they repartition your sdcard that way
Don't keep anything that you want to save on the internal sd card and re format it every time before you flash a new rom. But that means the rom or anything you are flashing or don't want to loose must be stored on your external SD card.

I've tried that and the folder always comes back. I've erased internal memory and used an old restore from before using a 4.2 ROM. Doesn't matter what I do it comes back. Even my stock restore will create it. Do I need to reboot after clearing internal memory?

Did you miss the part that if you use a 4.2 rom you will have it no matter what! It's the way 4.2 roms work designed like that by Google. All you can stop is creating multiple O folders. The only way your going to eliminate it is going back to a 4.1 rom.

These things aren't like hard drives. You should understands the differences between the two before replying like that. Where deleting from a hard drive the data can be recovered. Deleting from ssd and flash drives really does delete the files not just the directory of where those files. .....oh what am I even wasting my time for.

I do know the difference between the two. Quite well. I work in IT. So...with that out of the way.
Data is still recoverable after a factory reset. Just cause you press delete on a flash memory based device or do a factory reset doesn't mean it's gone. Go take a few pictures with your digital camera, delete them, and use some SD card recovery software. They'll be there. You can recover data from a factory wiped device. I've done it. It is still there until it's overwritten.

A few items to note, 1. go to camera/video app settings and change it to save to SDCard. 2. I have some HD movies (4 of them?) that are well over 6GB each. I normally have them on my external 2TB drive at home, but move a few to watch when traveling.
Lastly, when I got into the mobile devices many moon's ago, it was 1.X MP camera and pictures were @ 55K. This 8MP HD shooter takes pictures that are several megs! If you don't care about clarity that much, turn it down? JMO.
Are you sure this is a false storage estimated?
If so, are you sure have tried doing a full clean wipe?

I have the stock app. Open the app and there is a setting icon (looks like a spark plug guage?) in the upper left. tap that and scroll down. The factory setting for MP is 6, I changed it to 8. Scroll all the way down, storage location is next to last option, change it to card IF you have one. If not, you cannot change it. If so, single shots and video will go to card. Burst shots still go to phone.
Good Luck.
Thanks! Found out the problem, there's no external sd cause send in for replacement.

Hey guys so when in my storage options it does not adequately reflect my storage availability I'm wondering if this is normal. This only represents about 4-5 gigs being used but only 700mb available. Is this normal? I honestly don't have that much on my internal but it is running low faster than it should be. Just wanted to know if this is normal.

I would venture to say that's not normal... Try an app called "Disk Usage" and see what exactly is taking up the space.

I've looked through everything, and using the disk space app, showed about 5.7 gigs to system. Went through system couldn't find specifics as the culprit or what I could remove to make space. Is there any type of reset that'd clean it up, like a Odin flash? I'm usually better with these things but this is just odd and outta character for me.

I think I found the problem I was wondering wtf was going on... Everything has been different folder setup in cwm than before when I go to flash from SD card I get 0, legacy, and one other folder. Well... I found a folder in my system called emulated... It's basically two extra copies of my entire internal system. Anyone know where this came from? And how to prevent it from reoccurring? It shows updated today. Please correct me if this is not the issue... Gonna try deleting it will post after

Well... That only deleted everything on my internal SD... Wtf so strange. My internal SDcard showed like 2.7 gigs taken up the 'emulated: legacy and 0' folders were exactly 2.7 gigs each... Leading to the theory these were copies of the internal SD but when deleted they took the internal with them, now it shows I have 3.3 gigs avail and one being used... Outta 9+ gigs... Wtf ha
