When you go into the backup tab just click use external SD at the bottom

I'll give that a shot

OK my question is when I do a back up in twrp it stores it to internal mem but before it used to store it extsd ! Is there a way to change the storage location to where it automatically stores it in ext SD?

I'm confused... You asked a question, got the answer, then asked the same question again. Did you not try what mrevankyle suggested?

[Q] Move Apps to SD Card

I am running the T-Mobile Galaxy S III CM10 Nightly, I have the 16GB version with a 16GB SD Card. I for some reason don’t have the option to move apps to my SD Card? I tried a 3ed party app to do this but get an error saying I’m out of space but the SD card is blank?
I tried a few different SD Card with no luck? My file manager can see the SD Card and its content? I tried running a fix permissions but still no luck?
You can't move apps to your Sdcard. Samsung is to blame for this.

I was just giving you crap,
I would love for someone who knows more about this topic to actually reply with some details. But to offer my limited understanding, I have read of two options to move apps/data to ext SD:
Directory Bind, which you can read more about here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889550.
and
Link2SD, which you can read more about here, specifically with respect to the S3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33831712&postcount=3379
I do not know how well these options truly work, as I am still investigating it for myself, but hopefully this will help. Of course, again, I would love for someone with more knowledge of this - specifically with respect to the S3 - to post here and offer some help.

Would you mind telling me how you partitioned your SD card? did you do something like in this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726014&page=2. If so, and it works, that would be great... I did not know titanium backup had this feature. Thanks!

I didn't partition the sd. Didn't know I was supposed to. I'm not sure what that does or what the benefit is. I'm very much the noob when it comes to that. Sorry for not having a good answer for you.

While it seems this thread is somewhat dead, I thought I would post my findings on this topic. Using Directory Bind, following the setup in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889550 works great - I have moved several games to my sd card without any problems. You can download Directory Bind here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262. I installed version 0.2.0o. I hope this helps.

This is great, was just going to post that link Sorry to bump a dead thread, but I wanted to pass along something else useful. There is also this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849860 Where you flash a script and use a script manager app to to edit the init.d file to allow sd card mount on boot, essentially making the phone think that the external card is the internal storage.

Phone storage problem

Does anyone know why the available space is only 3gb but there is really nothing saved on my phone.

Are you backing up to your external sdcard? The internal gets remapped in cm roms so that may be the issue.

I'm not familiar with RomToolbox, so I can not comment on it.
TB is only for apps. Use it once your have flashed your rom. Be aware though, it's not always good idea to restore apps when switching roms. Sometimes things have been moved and can make things can sideways. Also, if you are saving your TB backups to your SD card, you need to tell TB where the backups are. Once it sees them, then you can do the restore. I find I have to tell it to scan the whole device for it to find the directory on the SD card.

Change TWRP Backup Location?

Is there a way to change the Backup location for TWRP? I am trying to backup my phone before I put a new Rom on it but I don't have enough space on my internal storage. I have a 32GB card that I would like to save my backups to. It works fine with photos and such, and I can see it in file explorer, but I can't figure out how to send my backups to it.
When your in twrp, then select restore, you'll see it says internal sd or storage, press that and you'll have the option to put it on your external sd card

Your main problem is that you are using the wrong ROM with your phone. You should be using the d2att roms and not the metro pcs one. As far as your memory issues I don't know but I would start by flashing the correct ROM to your phone and see if that doesn't help...
OK thanks for the tips
