hi there
i restored using CWM , backup size 2.5GB
after the restore was done everything was erased from phone memory , gallery, music etc....
is this normal?
i had 600MB of free memory before the restore, now i have 2.2 which means that everything is gone, why is this happening?
does it mean everytime i restore, i will lose all my storage data?
thanks
yes before restoring cwm formats internet sd

So I flashed 4.1.1 jelly bean and I was checking my storage and this is what I got!! What's wrong with my storage?

I recognise that. I had the same problem, but you just have to wait. There is a tab that is called misc. That show up after a while, there is probably your storage disappearing.

While it was "Calculating" there is an item called "Misc", and it disappears after calculating is done. I think maybe it's your nandroid backups, Titanium backups, or some other files. I suggest you to adb shell into your device and use "busybox du -sd1" to see which directory takes most space.

I don't have titanium backup or anything. My phone isn't even rooted. Did any of you guys find a solution to this problem?
What is a nandroid backup anyway?

use a free google play market app called DiskUsage to find exacty whats taking up your storage..
Thanks man. That worked, it shows that I have my old apps (Shadow gun, max Payne etc) still stored. Is it safe to just delete them using the app you recommended since it gives me the option to?

yea, thats what i normally do when i find something taking space that i dont want. its usually app data from a deleted app that takes up the missing space(for me).

ASTRO file manager is a good tool for doing the usual file manipulation tasks, and it does not require a rooted phone to work with SD card contents. It's free on the Play store.
Just long-press on a file and tap "delete" or use the "multi" button to select and move/copy/delete/etc. multiple files at once.
Why im i getting this message and slows my nexus deadly down....
Even when im looking at the stats my phones memory isnt full...

Check your recovery backups, see if you have too many, they can take up quite a bit of space.

i dont think so, i remember reading someone with a similar problem in another forum but cant for the life of me remember where, sorry! are u on a custom rom? try reflashing or connect to your computer and use the explorer to see where all your space has gone. if that doesnt show more space and a reflash doesnt fix maybe its your internal storage itself i think thats what it was with the other person and its irreparable without replacing. I know Flac music files are crazy big but i assume ud know if it was that. hope i help in some way and if i come across the other person with the same problem ill post a link.
I had a similar issue after flashing a new rom, it would show up with about 9gb taken up space even though nothing showed up. The way I'd fixed it was by formatting the sd card from clockworkmod.
A few ideas
Install solid explorer from the play store. It has a mode that lets you see what is eating up space graphically.
If you download roms vía rommanager or any other app check the sd card folders for those downloads. they're about 150 mb a piece so they can add up (especially if you do nightlies)
If i format my sd card via recovery,
Do i lose my apps?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
You will lose any apps installed on the SD card.

Never mind. To copy apps you need access to the system folder which means you would need to root.

Yeah but you need the pro version for it to be downloaded on another device....

you could odin a custom recovery image, boot into recovery and create a nad of your phone and then dropbox it for safe keeping. Flash the original recovery - i think i saw it in the development threat - and check the flash counter to see if you tripped it... if you did then you'll have to follow the instructions in the dev thread on how to reset everything to stock, it'll take a bit of the search function and some reading but should be releatively easy.
Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone can recommend a good app for app back up and restore?
I don't want titanium as I'm not rooted, does anyone know if app monster is any good?

Had problems with Carbon, drivers are installed on my laptop but phone us not recognised when it's plugged in.
Does ultimate backup allow you back up app user data, such as game saves?
Or are there any apps that will do this?

does it back up app data without root?
I would suggest go backup pro , backs up everything including contacts , messages, launcher layout , apps and data , supports cloud backup too , and many more features . Check it out

Can't beat go backup
I think any backup app that backs up user data requires ROOT access

I had same problem. When I flashed a different rom and reset factory data it cleared all that up. I'm guessing I had corrupt data. Also gained space by going in recovery and " delete unused backup files" I think that's what the category was called.

If you want to clear everything up, which is something I like to do routinely to keep everything running smoothly, you can use Odin and flash a stock tar file. Just stay away from the stock 4.3 that has Knox. Flashing back to 4.1.2 is your best bet.
