Hi everyone. Been on OOS12 for about 2 months now. Currently on c33 build. While I'm generally pleased, there are a few bugs that are bringing me down.
1) Do not disturb. I can toggle it and it shows. I've gone through the setting a hundred times. No matter what I do, when enabled, I still get audio alerts as well as vibration just like if it's off.
I did not do a factory reset when coming from OOS11. I really don't want the hassle of doing that only to find out that the bug is still there. Anyone comment on this?
2) Requirement of 10 gigs of storage to be free for 'accounts' to sync. Admittedly, I am a data boarder. That said, I usually have ~4 gigs of free space left on my phone at any given moment. When I upgraded to OOS12, I soon realized that accounts I have, like Google, or Samsung for my watch 4, weren't syncing. So, Gmail's won't come through, calendar wouldn't sync. Frustrated, I searched for answers and in the OnePlus forums, I found someone with the issue with a claim that you need at least 10 gigs of storage space free for sync to work. After painstakingly deleting music and other media, I eventually freed up some space. As soon as I had over 10 gigs of storage space free, Gmail's began to pour in again. I'd really like to use that 10 gigs of space that I'm unable to use anymore. Anyone else?
You should have a minimum of 20gb free space on internal memory. That's one reason why I always use a device with expandable storage.
I don't know, stuff some stuff in the cloud or a OTG flashstick...

Fair. If only OnePlus would sell me a phone with more than 256 gigs...sigh.
Agree on phones with external memory. I'm eyeing the Sony Xperia 5 IV for this very reason.

256gb isn't bad, I run about 90gb on internal and 453gb on the SD card currently. Only apps, the DCIM and download folders go on internal. My one N10+ has 500gb internal but try loading 400gb when you reload, takes forever. A lot easier to slam in a loaded SD card and use it to load all the apps from instead of Playstore. All contacts too and any apps that have backup support like Poweramp. The database is already loaded on the card. Makes setup a lot easier.
Get the Note 10+ if you don't mind no 5G or a variable refresh rate trade off for one of the best displays there is, even today. I don't like any of the new Samsung's but they got it near perfect with the N10+. It's a beast that runs like a bat out of hell... forget that's it's 3 years old. It rocks.
One can be had at a good price now too.

I'm so upset by it that I didn't even try to see if it was fixed on c.35. This is now how I manage my expectations with OnePlus.
Out of curiosity, is your c.35 a clean flash from a wipe/reset or a gradual upgrade like me?

It's a gradual upgrade like yours

Has anyone on EVO come across this problem. I keep getting low disk space on my EVO. I uninstall apps to get more internal space, but then it drops again. On Friday I had approx 48mb of internal storage, then by 4:00pm I had 323 kb. I uninstalled a bunch of apps and now I am back at around 48mb.
I went into sd and storage to monitor my space. I also went into menu settings/ applications to see what was taking up the space. By chance I noticed that my Mail icon in the morning was at about 75mb and when I checked it that afternoon it was at 111mb. I called sprint tech support and we deleted/ then added my email accounts again to see if that would clear up space. We also set the max amount of space for msgs to 25 kb. text only. This seems to be working, but still under my mail settings under applications, the MAIL still shows using up about 95mb of storage.
Sprint tech support states that that is really high, but for some reason it is not something that can be erased. Of course I can always do a wipe, but that is always as a last resort. Just trying to gain back some of that precious internal storage.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
In the few years I spent supporting mobile phones for companies low internal storage space was almost always caused by pictures, mp3s, and movies.
So how much of that do you have on your phone?

The EVO saves that kind of media to the SD card.
OP, what ROM are you running?
I know that apps like streamfurious will cache its content and store it to the phones memory. It can Max you out in a matter of hours. Do you use streaming apps?

A misbehaving app is probably the culprit. I'd really recommend Cachemate in the market. There's a chance that one run of that may solve your problem.
Also, if OP is running CyanogenMod w/ Turbo that'll occupy a good amount of internal memory as well.
I use Xiia Live llite. Usually in the evening. . I'll check that out and see if it shows how much is cached.
Thanks
I'll check it out. thanks. Ok it cleared about 3mb.
My mail icon still shows 99 mb of data. If you go menu, settings,applications, manage applications, It brings up everything that you have installed. You can list them by size. The Mail icon HTC, is the one taking up all the space. is there any way to eliminate it? I am running rooted 2.1. I will probably OTA to 2.2 tonight and unrevoke 3.21. Don't know if this will help.
Thanks
I'm running into low storage also.... I have alot of apps but have moved most to sd card that I can... Anymore tips to get storage back?
Was getting low storage error and moved a bunch of apps to sd card and my data/data folder showed I had like 80mb free and error went away. Couple days later error came back without adding any new apps and I was under 15mb free, figured this was weird and restarted my phone and it went back to 78mb free.
So what could cause this? Is something not clearing out right here on its own? Btw I am on a stock deodexed rom.
if you don;t install the EXT4 fix, the stock configuration is for the Data partition to be a paltry 149 mb. That can get filled up pretty quickly-mostly by apps like the messaging app, Google Maps and anything else that needs to stored data in this "high performance/secure" location. i put it in quotes because it;s the "official reason" for doing this but I think it;s crap. in reality it;s a design flaw by HTC that never got fixed. also, files from the Playstore get cached to this partion which is why the free space available can jump up and down. there is only so much moving apps to SD Card will fix. the problem is certain apps accumulate data over time.
If you do install it you will have 749 mb available. if you have a rooted Dinc, I think there is no reason not to install it. then again I am not certain if your ROM is compatible. I hear that Touch of Blue has this fix integrated into it if you want to stay on Gingerbread.
this thread probably has all the info you need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488351
Thnaks man but it's not that, something is just "wrong" with it lol.
It will say I have close to 80mb free and just a few hours later be full. I noticed If I go into Titanium Backup and do some stuff (like removing orphan data) or something it seems to fix it and the low on storage space error goes away and frees up like 60-70mb instantly. This never used to be like this.
Wonder if it's just a sign of an aging cpu or phone not calculating how much free space is there properly.
did you install the fix? if you did not, then do it. the Dinc is a very well known device. Us users have beaten this device to death over the last 3 years. there is not too much new going on. it could be possible that your device is failing and if it is, get a new one.
before I rooted my Dinc, it was a daily struggle for me to keep this partition from filling up. for me the combo of data being consumed by Amazon App store, Google Play store and mostly my email client with 4 email accounts. 149 mb is just too small.
It says they only let 2 multi-windows now.... DIdn't before you could do 3 or 4?
Before that I could do as much multi-windows as I wanted? Why did they make this change? Is this a downgrade?
Or am I just imaging things? Was it always 2.
Also, Polaris Office 5 sucks it has so many glitches (document not supported, but it opens manually, doesn't free draw save for ppt, etc.) . I want the polaris office that was included in the original note 10.1.
Also, wtf google Why did you take the external SD card away...
There was a reason why I bought the 16 gb ones.
It was always 2 from the factory. You can root and enable 4 though.

So you use the cloud... Google wants to own your info, not just allow you access to it....
The bullsh!t line about security is ridiculous...
The cloud is not the answer. Download and upload speeds, data charges, file sizes and security issues. Just a few concerns. I use cloud storage and am in the process of reducing it. Trust Google? Hell, that is akin to demanding you trust the government. You cannot.

I agree about the cloud not being the answer. I also agree that taking away a feature people relied on, even made purchasing decisions based on (16GB vs.32GB), for no truthfully explainable reason, is pretty crappy. But it's time to move on. The hobbling of external storage first came to light last December when the SGS4 GPe received 4.4.2. That's six months ago. Since then, nothing's changed. People's choices are:
Leave Android for another OS out of contempt for Google
Stay on 4.3 forever
Root and install a fix
Adjust the way you use the external SD card and come up with new ways to do things
Trade your 16GB devices for one with more storage
***** endlessly to strangers on discussion forums about how crappy Google's decision was and how your life has been ruined
Even with six months having passed, every day, on every forum I view, there's another new thread started about "why can't I save to external SD?" It's getting kind of old. So people need to pick one of the above and move on. And those choosing option 6, no one here can help you and answers to any and all questions you might ask have been posted dozens of times. F'd up external storage is Google's "new normal" and they aren't going to back down.
P.S. - I chose option 4
we can stop 16g android device and finally we have 32g or more.

Someone should tell Samsung.
This really isn't the catastrophe it's being made out to be. Video, games, and pics take up the most storage space. They can be stored and played off the external SD card. Most large apps allow you to move them to external SD too. All Samsung's apps (Video, Music, Gallery, My Files, Samsung Link) have universal access to external storage and can be used to manipulate files saved there. Any app can create its own sandbox on external SD and save/edit/delete files there. What's been lost is every app having access to everything on external storage. It's a pain in the a_s but there are work-arounds that aren't that onerous and most people, especially consumption users, will be fine.
4. root and SDfix
The only acceptable solution is to root and run SDfix from playstore.
I was forced to do that after kitkat OTA upgrade on my Note3 and external SD write was crippled overnight.
My Note10 is still on 4.3 rooted, but when I go 4.4, root+SDfix will be first on the list right after the upgrade.

Hi XDA,
First time posting so sorry if I'm missing anything.
I have had my OP 9PRO since this summer and have absolutely loved it so far however some time ago I had some problems with updating the phone as it appeared that update would never download. But after that, recently my phone just informed me that the phone is basically full which I'm suprised by as i do have a lot of photos on there, but no movies or anything anymore.
Is it possible that the updates actually HAVE downloaded and are chilling somewhere taking up space in a folder I cant easily see?
My phone is rooted so if i downloaded that update 10X, its about 30GB extra of storage probably.
Attached are 2 screenshots, 1 of the storage overview and 1 of the app storage overview as it says there's about 55 Gigs in there.
Thank you guys in advance!
I'm attempting to bump this topic, maybe someone can help me with this
1. Screenshot, shows how much a app (cache and data) use.
2. Screenshot, how much space is occupied.
I cant see any bug. 119 of 128GB is correct. If i calculate right, u are using 118.66GB
The app is old, but it works without any problem: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/ivan-volosyuk/diskusage/diskusage-4-0-2-release/

Hi Rhein,
Thanks for your reply. this is the result from that app. As you can see, its simply the "media storage "app"" using all the 30GB of space that I am "missing". Would you know what could be causing it?
Thanks so much
I quote Joeeye from the Samsung forum, where someone else had the same question about "media storage"

Media storage will just be a system app which monitors and reports all media data on your phone, ie camera video and photos, music, movies etc. You can't wipe it as it's an in built system app which isn't really taking much space. The 70GB I assume is an amalgamation of all your media files on the device.

Media Storage consumes a lot of data
Hi, I realized that a Media Storage app consumes a lot of data - almost 70GB! I have no idea, what exactly it is. I googled and it should be some new system how to work with storage for applications but... which is inside, which application uses it so much and how can I reduce the amount of...

OnePlus 9 Pro 128GB, also storage problems.
I've read multiple topics about this issue and the only thing that works temporarily is to completely reset the phone to factory settings (wipe all data).
Tried the following things:
- Clear recently deleted files from gallery (not much there since update)
- Wipe Cache
- Wipe Data (full reset)
See attached screen shot of my system storage taking up too much space. I'm not feeling like wiping my phone every couple of months...
Any ideas to solve this bug?

Other people had this happen a long time ago they fixed it by using the msm tool
It will wipe your data you have so backup first
I used the MSM Tool and went completely back to stock. System storage (after restoring backup) is now on 8,8 GB. I will have to see if it stays there... Thanks for the suggestion.
EDIT:
Addition, I went to 11.2.4.4 from MSM, to 11.2.10.10 through OTA.
Is there any other solution except of using MSM Tool ? I just did factory reset recently, I'm not willing to do that again...
Thank you.

Yeah I found those topics as well.
In the meantime, my system storage has increased to 11GB (which would be within normal operating limits).
May I ask you how you have performed backup and restore? I don't believe there is some hassle free solotion...
I went old school:
Hooked my phone up to my computer with USB cable and file transfer; copied the folders Downloads, DCIM, and some other folder I thought important (Telegram for instance). For WhatsApp I created a backup from within the app to Google Drive. For phone settings I used the Backup&Restore function from Settings - System - Backup.
Oh and maybe make screenshots of your Home Screen pages, so you know which app (shortcut) you had where.
So no hassle free solution unfortunately.

Is it fixed after the reset? Currently i have 60GB++ system
I did the same thing and it did fix it, i can recommend doing it.
I feel as if it's still increasing slightly, but less after the last update. I think 17GB for system is quite a lot, especially when there's also 17GB for 'other'?
I was just thinking the other day that I should perform the reset once more on this firmware version but you know... it takes time and effort.
You could try running SDMaid with root permissions and see if that clears things up.
I don't have it rooted anymore, just in case that was the issue. So that won't work for me unfortunately.

Hey guys,
The storage manager shows me that I use 100 gb from 128
And 60 gb is used by "other apps".
No matter what storage analyser I tried, I can't find where is that 60gb
It doesn't appear in nowhere.
The things is see sums to 40gb +-
Thanks
Gonna bump this because I'd really like to know what it is as well. I have a xiaomi device, and 12gb out of 128 is used by "Other apps". My internal storage is only 7gb in total, system is around 14gb, and apps are 12gb, so this should only total to 33gb out of 128, but 46gb is used out of 128. Really confused.

It's kind of right in front of you.
If you have a NAS drive or a Computer with larger hard drive.
It's time to do some Spring Cleaning.
See all those Images and Videos you have there.... cut and paste them to your PC via regular USB transfer.
that means everything under the Camera folder.
Next major candidate, if you are using WhatsApp and WeChat, do the same thing, but for its own folder.
Then repeat again for any other social media App you have.

Tried this, still shows 11/12gb. Already checked my whatsapp files size, it's included in the whatsapp data section on its info page. All photos and media are shown seperately.
I don't know if this helps or not but about 2 years ago, was working with a coworker and they had a cheap phone with little internal storage, and he couldn't figure out where all of his space went. Come to find out, Chrome was taking up 2+GB! Check app cache for apps you rarely use and clear those, then go from there.

i doubt app cache can amount to 10gb, especially when i dont have many apps installed on MY device. Either way, I use the cleanup tool, which does clear cache, and still see no difference.
