Wow, that is big pile of porn in one device.
You are using some custom rom?

Haha, yup my eye already turn "blue"!! I'm using WanamLite XXDMC3 (V 1.3) but was'nt sure that it was b4 or after I used this rom. I would comment that this is a stable rom n the battery life have improved greatly. Would be great if I had this kind of storage space on my note two!

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?

How to go about on a full clean wipe? Did a wipe of some sort when flashing the WanamLite rom.

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.

JB gallery not showing pics taken before flashing

The gallery only shows pics taken while on this rom (fnv) already. I had a couple other jb roms which did the same thing, AND pics taken while on those other jb roms also don't show in gallery.
I read something yesterday about pics now being stored in storage/sdcard0 instead of /sdcard. But I looked in sdcard0 and the new pics are there, but so are the old pics, which still aren't showing in the gallery! Anyone know what the deal is?

Download SDRescan from play store, run app, reboot. Then they should show.

How long should the scan take? After about 8 minutes I stopped it and rebooted and it didn't work. Tried several times.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Well I have about 4.5g used on my SD card, and it takes roughly 10 mins.
Also have you tried wiping cache & data for the gallery & re-booting?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
its been scanning for 40 minutes now. seems like its stuck on storage/sdcard0. ill let it go a little while longer before I try deleting cache and data for the gallery. just to make sure...deleting the data for the gallery wont wipe all my pictures? thanks

Stock gallery app is really bad. Use QuickPic instead.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Many of us on Jellybean are having this problem.. Here is my thread about it.. I can't believe there isn't a solution yet.. If I flash back onto my old ICS nandroid, I can view all the photos; however whenever I flash a jellybean rom, they are gone.

but i like the swiping gestures in the jb gallery. oh well im sure a fix will come eventually.
I had to use stock gallery.
I've used Quickpic for years but when I jumped to JB, it didn't see half my pics all of a sudden so I'm back on stock for now. Works for me.

try formating sd card via Recovery(backup first),then put them back ,see what happen , then ,press the thank button~
have same problem here
the stock gallery app dont' show some of my old picture suddenly, even I try backup the pictures to desktop PC and copy them back to Nexus, it's useless. But on other Gallery app eg: QuickPic is working fine, all picture can show correctly
This has only happened to me on XenonHD. Because of that, I went back to BAMF

My issue with gallery is that it seems to ignore .nomedia files and still show directories that contain them.
But if I disable gallery now I lose camera.

(APP) Move large apps to external SD. Works great!

Hey peeps. I finally got fed up running out of storage and went searching for something to fix it. Modern combat 3 takes up 1.4 gigs and Nova takes even more. With this app I can move their external data to the external SD card freeing up more room for more games.
I didn't create this app, just wanted to let people know about it. Remember you need to use the app to open these games once you move their data, otherwise they will just re download their files again.
Feel free to ask me any questions and I'll try and help if I can.

It says that it's not compatible with my device, but I changed the3 build.prop back to say that I have a S3 not a Nexus, and google play let me install it. I will report back when i get to try some apps.

Good. Should work fine. I noticed a couple times it wouldn't launch asphalt 7 so I checked the setting to clear cache when launching a game and that seems to have fixed it. Let me know if there are any other issues you run into.

The one I posted does more than game loft games as well. You can add any application that allows the installation of data to external cards. But whatever. Choices are good.

The vast majority don't need to be moved. But I have yet to find an app over 50 megs that I couldn't move so it's possible you are doing something wrong.

Note 2 internal memory

Can someone do me a favour a and check their total internal memory. Mine is at 10.36gb. Is this not too small? I wasn't expecting the full 16gb, but even so...

Yes its only 10.36 GB free. Probably the remaining is used by Samsung pre-installed apps etc.
Cheers. Oh well. Spotify better hurry up and allow moving to external sd!

Do a search for the old spotify apk, it lets you choose external. You uninstall spotify, install the old one and choose external storage (download a song to confirm its on ext), then upgrade to the current version and it will keep external as your storage location.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for saying what the memory is. Just proves to me that I need one with more memory.
Hurry up Samsung and release the larger versions.

Is this normal? Storage ?

Am I missing some memory? Shouldnt I have more available then 3.5? Is this normal guys I thought this phone has 16gb internal?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
You got one of the recall S4's probably. Shake the phone and see if you hear something rattle, if so thats the missing memory. Take it back to the store for recall replacment
Some of that 16gb is dedicated to the "system" (Rom and pre installed app)

Most likely the other part of you answer. Although its a 16gb device only around half of it is usable storage. Still after flashing a ROM I tend to have 7+GB available. Backups take a big chunk. 2.5 - 3gb and by default store internally. Move these to an external SD and select external as default storage on next backup. I actually have a separate 32gb thumb drive+ otg cable with a backup from multiple ROMs. And I select the USB otg option. Keeps my on board SD cards clean.

missing pics

Note 10+ and lately I have been getting some of my pics not available and with an explanation point. what causes this? Today I woke up and noticed all pics taken the other day GONE! I am wondering if my phone has been hacked or with a logger? I do notice the screen sometimes flashes or when its in my pocket I hear it wake up or buttons being hit.

Go to the google play store and search for an app called "nice catch" and select all the options. It should log what is causing your issues.

Are your photos saving to internal memory or to an SD card?
Plug it into a computer and see if you can access them. The folder will be: DCIM.

Good Lock has this module, from Samsung with no ads...
Look for Good Lock on the Galaxy Store then go to the family tab. You can download the separate modules...
No need to go to 3rd party...

If the images were saved to the SD card it sounds like the card maybe corrupted, damaged or have dirty contacts.
Savage what you can with a computer as suggested then deal with the card.
You do have free space left on the internal storage, right?
Were those night shots you lost?
Have you tried disk digger?
