Hello, I'm sorry this topic is ready posted, but I can't find what my friend is having problem with. She has an Xperia U and she can't take pictures because it says that the SD card is full, she doesn't have a lot of apps or pictures though. She restored it to the factory setting a month ago and now the same problem. This is an image if her setting menu, please help and thanks.

In addition when she deleted audio, apps and pictures the storage didn't decrease.

Ask your friend to backup all important stuff in the internal storage and format it. Format via the phone not the pc.

How to format via the phone? She already restored it to the factory setting from the phone. And how can she backup all the pictures and videos? Transfered them to a PC?

Yes, transfer to a pc. Format the INTERNAL STORAGE not FACTORY RESET. See the clear internal storage button in the above screenshot? Click it after backing up.

If she cleared the internal storage will the OS be removed? Orbitll boot up like new?

1. Clearing the internal storage does not clear stuff like messages and contacts
2. It will only boot like new if you do a factory reset too

So she will lose apps and picture and videos, not something related to the OS? Sorry for being so specific but I don't want to tell her to do something that can cause her software problems, because we are not close and I am trying to be..

Do full backup with PC Companion.
Some apps save data in SD card like backup % restore (the one that come with the phone) so this will be lost.
You can see with PC what is on SD card and copy things that are inportant.

Well she can fry and delete files, when connecting to PC or with the file manager she has on the phone.
What android version is it, Ginger Bread??
connect to pc and just delete all the unwanted file from the internal memory only. What big deal? If you still need the file, just backup it. I believe all the file must be from whatapps media folder, check that folder.
back up the pics videos or something else she needs, then format the SD card.
Backup all your files on the sd card and format it
copy all the internal storage to a folder on your pc. then right click that folder and properties and see if it actually is 3.8gb

Hı guys and girls. I have been having a problem lately. A few days ago All my whatsapp images disappeared or maybe even deleted then today all my screenshots are gone. I'm a first time Android user and have no clue what's going on.
No one has used my phone and I am 100% sure I haven't accidently deleted anything.
Has this happened to anyone?
If you have no backup you can try to recover using a tool like RECUVA .

This happened to me too on my LG Optimus 2x with CM7.
All gallery images were gone except a few when I opened my gallery from the camera.
Anyways, managed to restore the images on the computer using some image undeleter or whatever. Haven't found any solution yet.
I'm waiting for a stable CM9 or CM10 release to flash my phone. Time to clean up.

Not many big apps installed eh?
Install a couple big games and watch internal storage go bye-bye. So much for letting the OS do its thing.
I use DirectoryBind to redirect big apps to my sdcard. App isn't perfect, but it works.

Some larger games have the option within the game itself; Bard's Tale for example. The option was offered when downloading the 1.8 GB datafile. The game still partly installs to the internal sdcard.

How'd you get Miscellaneous files so low? I have system memory in miscellaneous files. That can't be moved can it?
Not sure, but it may be because I am on Sprint and have android 4.1.1. If you notice, my 16 GB internal memory is reported as 10.95 GB. The other screenshots from VZW report the full 16 GB.

Hi,
Just handed my XZU for nearly 2 weeks now. Really loving it, great companion for my Xperia Acro S.
We know that XZU only available in 16gb of internal memory and expandable via SD card. But i face a little issue with the internal capacity, now i am using 75% of the memory - i install pretty much big games, and it continues to keep on growing --"
With that pattern of usage, i guess moving big apps to sd card will help, but i cannot find the "move to external memory" option inside the app detail. Is it possibble to move the app to sd card? Do i need to root my device?
Your responds are highly appreciated. Thank you.

It is possible. I Had same problem and I could not find any SW which does not need root. Bud finaly I had to rood my ZU and now I use GL2SD app which works great also with non GL games
Ah, thanks for your reply. So, i need to root my XZU then, but it appears to be an uncomfortable option to me. Let's hope this will be enabled in the future update

App to SD only allows you to more the akp as far as I'm aware? Foldermount will let you move any folder, including game date to the external.

App2SD and GL2SD
My Xperia Z Ultra is NOT rooted
App2SD: Not supported
GL2SD: Requires root
This means, No Go....
Safe bet you will need root access for any on these apps to work. Rooting is easy, but it's your personal choice if you do it. Plus you always get the choice if which apps to grant access to so security should not really be a concern.

Mine reboots too... but to install remount-reboot we need to have a working CWM, which is not the case...
Or, install it through a PC, but it drives me mad not being able to do everything on my device instead of depending on a computer.
We'd need something like Mobile Odin Pro for Samsung... isn't it possible to do something like that? Just a question, I don't know if it would be science fiction... :silly:

I use FolderMount. Note that part of the app still reside in internal memory but it allow the big game data etc to be stored to external sd.
Work great for me on my root SGP321 4.2.2. My newspaper data and games with large data now reside in the 64GB external sd.
You might want to check out whether this app work for you.
Ok tried it moved data for one game over tried the game it tries to download the data or it can't download not sure what the issue is

The card needs to be fat32 and after you copy the data you need to go into the app and mount the folder, if you don't it won't find the data and it will try to download it again. /// this is due to the way sony has implemented the exfat drivers, something funny the way they did it, maybe some dev can explain it better.

I know there are tons of threads on here about wiping your device to sell, but I'm more paranoid than most.
This has come from the shock I experienced with exactly how much data I've been able to recover by deep-scanning Hard Drives in the past that I thought was deleted/lost many years ago. This phone is going into a pool at work, so there are some things I don't want my colleagues, no matter how determined they are, to be able to know about me. LOL.
I'll delete everything I can see manually first, then if I carry out a wipe from the recovery menu, does this remove all the user files, photos etc 100?%
I know some pics were stored on the device itself, not on the external card.
No, factory reset from the settings menu should format the internal storage. As with most media this won't remove the actual file information from the emmc chip partition, only the allocation table.

But using this method, the files could possibly still be recovered if someone was determined and sad enough to do it?

OK, thanks for that. To clarify, it's not life/death, but I'd just like to prevent possible future embarrassment. Sounds like me manually removing everything then doing a factory wipe will do fine. :good:
