I've got just under 2 GB left of the 11.36GB the phone says is available. I've got about 100 apps and my camera is set to save to the external SD. Anyone else using up their memory rather quickly?

Hmm... do you have some enormous apps installed? I still have well over 7 gigs free, and I'm not even using an external SD. I have quite a few pics, a few dozen apps, and some music.
Not that I can see. Largest is Adobe flash at 12.38mb. There are a couple others around 10mb, and the rest are all 5mb or under. 405MB used by apps.
Edit: I think I found the issue. The CWM folder is 7.9GB.
Dear lord, what's in that folder?
9 nandroid back ups. Which is about 6 more than I remember making.
That would be to many backups......LOL

I make a point of deleting old backups, so I've got one backup per ROM I work with.
I rename them manually using ADB. (The phone is always by the computer on USB when Nandroiding.)

Do you have any trouble saving your pictures to the external sd card? When I do about 50% of them come up corrupt.Could just be the card, going to return it and try again this weekend. 32GB class
10 Kingston.

Entropy, I have no idea how I ended up with so many. I suspect it may have something to do with the time I spent trying to screw around with rom manager.
I haven't had any issues so far except for some lag. I have a 8GB sandisk that is probably a class 2 or 4. I'm looking at getting a 32BG class 10 here soon which will hopefully eliminate the lag I'm getting after taking pictures.
I'm curious...what was the problem? The extra backups eating up that much space?
Yup, each back up was about 3/4 of a GB.

Sirooga,
There is a known problem with some 32gb class 10 cards corrupting data in android phones. The workaround is to format it with a windows pc. Do a full format, not a quick one, and the important part is to set the cluster size to 32kb. After that it put it back in the phone and all should be good.

First of all, the newer cards supposedly have updated their firmware so it's not an issue anymore. So if you have a newly purchased card from a supplier with fresh stock I doubt this would apply.
But for anyone having corruption issues it may be worth a try.
Here is a link to a related thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146665
And here is the post I was referring to, cut and paste from the Patriot memory support forum:
"We have found that there is an industry wide compatibility problem with the new Android based and Windows 7 phones working with 32GB class 10 micro SD cards. We have seen issues with the Samsung Focus, Motorola Driod/X, HTC Evo 4g. We are currently working on a solution for this compatibility issue. Google and Microsoft have stated that there are known compatibility issues with 32GB class 10 micro SD cards and are working on a solution as well.
We have found a fix that works in many cases, where you format the card in a Windows based PC, with FAT32, allocation size 32kb, and full format. This is not an official fix, but troubleshooting steps that has worked in many cases, we are still working on a permanent solution for this issue.

I bought a 32 gig Kingston technologies sd card still in original package. Worked for 4 days then could only be read as blank sd card. Called manufacturer, gave the numbers off card and was told out was a fake.
got it straight from a verizon store, I could hardly believe it would be a fake, if anything I'll return it
nvm, it actually reads 30 gb, I was looking at my internal storage the whole time in media link doh!
got this card for a steal too at $50.
when you said fake I was like, hmm explains the price

FYI...
I was told by an HTC Rep that you must use a Class 4 memory card with the EVO 3D or else it will NOT perform properly! The 3D must be able to read/write to the uasd card fast enough. This will cause lock ups and reboots if you go ahead and just stick your old class 2 memory card in the phone! This especially happens if you try to take 3D pictures or 3D videos with a class 2 memory card inserted (I have actually seen this for myself...no bueno).

I'm not discounting this, but from a developer standpoint, it doesn't make much sense. Just because a write is taking a few ms longer, shouldn't cause errors so fatal the entire platform crashes. Then again, with HTC coding, I wouldn't be surprised. And 3D pictures aren't anything more than two JPGs saved side-by-side, nothing special or worthy of overwhelming your datapipe any more so than copying an MP3 file.
I have my old EVO card in it and everything runs perfectly.
This is total BS. Don't believe everything you hear
Sent from my 3rd Dimension of Evolution
OK right...but yet they are informing people about this in HTC's events that have happened for the 3D and sensation? Now why would HTC just go ahead and say that?
I was actually wondering about this too. Initially I thought the really slow image caching was due to my class 2 sd card on my evo that causes scrolling lag in apps with pictures. I.e, market, trillian, twitter, but i guess that's a evo gingerbread issue I believe.
But what about the devices that still lock and crash using the stock sd card the e3d came with? Or is it safe to say that those users who complain of the lockups and what not are using aftermarket sd cards?

I wasn't, bone stock, crashed/locked up even without an SD card in it
I'm running stock, with the original micro SD card, and I've only crashed once. But it was a weird crash where the screen wasn't working but the phone apparently was, because I could access it through bluetooth. I'm going to test it hard over the next couple weeks to make sure it doesn't continue to happen.
I'm using a 32gb class 2 that i had in my evo 4G and i haven't had any issues at all.

I have a class 2 32GB card in mine and have had no problems at all. I even watched the first 25 minutes of Green Hornet (which I copied over from the OEM card).
My guess is that HTC is dispensing foolproof info that will minimize any support calls. Similar to how the FDA recommends meat cooking times far above what's necessary for food safety to minimize lawsuits from fools getting sick and dying.
I hadn't even noticed the phone came with a class 4. Seems strange that it would cause instability to run it with anything slower.
anyone know the max size of card the 3vo can take?
I'm gonna have to call BS! I'm running a C10 16GB card in my 3VO and I haven't had one reboot or lock up yet.
I was just googling on Tmobile's website and this just got my attention. I've always thought ours has an available sd card expansion limit for up to 32gb but it says 48??? has any of you tried exceeding storage space of more than 32??.. i just find this interesting.

yea you can use 64gb cards... they just are formatted differently so you have to put them in your phone then use your phone to format them then they work like the rest of the sdcards

Actually what he probably saw was right. What allot of company's do is add what memory comes with the phone already. So when they say you can expand to 48, they mean put in a 32gb + your 16 internal storage for a whopping 48. It's never exact 48 though since we get about 12gb of our 16 internal and about 28gb (give or take) from your 32 ad card.

The LG spec sheet says the G3 supports a 128GB-2TB Micro SD card. I don't need 128GB on my phone, but I would be ok with 64GB (or maybe even 32GB) of extra space.
Has anyone tried using a smaller card than 128GB in the G3 and can tell me if it works???
Thanks!!

Anyone try a 128gb card? Thinking of picking one up.
I have an older 32gb in mine and I'm running quite fine.
I bought a 64GB microSD card today and formatted it in my G3. I can't seem to write any files to it except with Root Explorer and the stock File Manager. FolderSync and Astro File Manager won't create a new folder on the card. Any ideas?
I created the folders to sync to in FolderSync and it says it completes successfully in 0 seconds and syncs no files.
edit: Never mind, apparently it is a known issue. I'm trying one of the solutions.

Works great
64gb sdcard no problems.
Stock kitkat will require root for apps to have write access to your external sd card. If you're rooted or plan on rooting this app here will simplify the fix for you: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix
This is not an lg bug, but a horrible choice on Googles part that will probably change in Android L....
That app works great or you can manually do it yourself (if you fear apps) by:
Open file:
/system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
Then add this to the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE section.=:

I have tried 8, 32 and 64GB cards in my G3 and all work fine.
I had been using a Samsung evo 32gb in my g3 with no issues. I upgraded to the Samsung evo 128gb and now when I play my music, the music drops out a lot. I don't understand. I had a replacement sent to me and it does the same thing. I bought them from Amazon and have ran two different apps to test them. They come back as genuine Samsung cards. The cards are reading @ 41 mbs. So I'm not sure what the deal is. I only have a couple of days before I have to send the card back so I'm trying to find out if the cards are good or not. Thanks.

What format is the card in? FAT32? ExFAT? Whichever it is, try the other. Even if it came formatted, you can try formatting it from the phone instead. Sometimes it makes a difference.
Also, there's some apps to increase the cache for your Micro SD card. I think some music apps have a cache setting, too.

I haven't used any in a while so I don't remember specifically the app names.
If you search the Play Store for SD cache I see some but some of the hits are for other things related to cache, so you'll just have to judge by their names.
I think among all the other things it does, I believe ROM Toolbox by JRummy does that, but that app's overkill and might require buying for some features.
Sometimes I wish I could pay it forward with apps I've bought in the past. I've probably stopped using more apps that I've paid for than apps I currently use that require being bought.
You're welcome!

Interesting to hear if your reformatting makes a difference.
I have a 128gb Lexar 633x Class 10 (black/blue) that my VZW G3 will not recognize(mount) the card in any format or formatted with different softwares. Works fine is cameras and pcs/laptops.
But it will mount the 54gb version of same card.
good luck
Well, going from exfat to fat 32 seems to have helped some. It still has some drop out, but not like before. I'd say it's probably reduced to 1/2 or 1/4 of what I was experiencing.
