[HELP PLEASE] Memory issues - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to inastall an app (The Amazing Spiderman) and my phone keeps saying I don't have enough free space.
The problem is that my phone seems to be including my Ext SD card in my USB storage.
My USB storage is 11.49gb in total. In the Misc section it says that i'm using 12.47gb! (this is my external SD) and then is says I have 5.93 available at the bottom.
Somewhere my phone is getting very confused between my USB storage and my ext SD card.
Can somebady please help?

You need about 2GB of space for the game to install !

Here's a screenshot of my memory usage. So weird!

Repartition internal memory for more application space?

Hi,
My phone has nearly 400 apps and keeps saying memory low, preventing me from installing new apps.
Is there any way i can repartition the internal memory to give out about 4GB?

Hi, thanks but it seems this mod swaps the external sd for the internal one. But what I'm looking for is to change the 2GB internal reserved memory for apps to about 4GB.

Not possible. Uninstall unused and junk apps and if you rooted you can remove Samsung music hub. Samsung apps. As they are incompatible and useless in most mobiles.

Cyanogenmod 9 Emmc Storage Issue

So lately I've noticed that my SD card is apparently full, like I'll get warning messages when downloading apps and stuff that the storage space is insufficient. But I know the overall storage space and I haven't used anywhere near that much. And I tried removing two files I didn't need through USB storage, and the space still didn't go up! I'm using cyanogenmod 9 on the Samsung galaxy exhibit 2 4G.

Its your internal storage not your SD card.

OK, but on app 2 SD it shows around 600 mb internal memory that is still usable. But when I go into what's on the SD card in that same app, it shows 0 free space which is also false. I know that the regular sdcard is the internal memory and ex-sd card or emmc is external. But still I dont have anything in there taking up that much space, app2sd shows that. And I've already dug around in root explorer and I couldn't find any massive data doing this.

Here, this is what app2sd is showing me.

OK so I think the problem is that since cyanogenmod doesn't use the regular external SD card folder, and uses the emmc folder instead, that's causing this.

Out of memory problem.

My s3 is showing out of memory now. I have a 32gbp card with lots of green space and also my internal memory still 400mb remaining. I thought the apps got installed in the phone memory. Am I wrong? Is this 400mb limit?? Pls help . I'm on stock os, non rooted.

Your not wrong, thats why your out of storage space. All your apps are stored on your phone and not on your external 32GB card.
400MBs is all the space you have left on your phone. Try moving some music and pictures onto your 32Gb SDcard.
I know it's low. But when 400mb is available, atleast an app of 5mb or 2mb should get installed na???

Your phone still require some memory to perform other stuff like cache. Try to move your media files to ext sdcard.

ExtSD2internalSD is the answer to your question mate.
Basically you're going to make your phone believe that your sd mem card is your internal and vice versa, worked like a charm for me running Jelly Bean 4.1.1 on my I9300 with a Class 10 samsung 64GB micro sd card.
Here's the link to the thread.
BTW, thanx to mattiadj for this awesome mod and hope this helped somehow & if it did please hit the thx button
Thanks a lot bro..... Now i got 29 gb internal......its cool.....

My advice is too leave everything that is on the internal memory as default where they are.
They are there for a reason.

Why not? In the camera settings you can choose where to store your pictures. Mine are always stored on Extsdcard. Everytime I flash a new ROM (and I flash a lot beleive me) I use Revolution HD super-wipe so it clears my internal cards completely. By putting them on my Extsdcard I never lose them(still you should make backup all the time just in case).
