So i had serious memory issues, like out of my 8gb 5.2gb was used for system data and 1gb for the default apps so i barely had room for ads , so i bought an 16gb sd card but i couldn't move all of the apps i barely could do anything on them(i dont really take photos/videos so they didn't take more than 10mb maybe). I didn't even have space to get the marshmallow update but i did some reading an apparently in the update i could adopt my sd card as internal storage and the only con was like slower speed but i don't really care for that myself. so i did a factory reset i updated to marshmallow erased my sd card memory before factory-resetting and when i finally opened the phone with 6.0 installed and went to my storage options and in sd settings all there is is eject and format, not format as internal storage, help??? also excuse me for horrible grammar/punctuation.
Right now after resetting i already have 6.2gb used out of 8gb and i didn't install one single app its all just after resetting.

Well I am lately facing an issue with the stock SD card which was provided together with my neo V. For some reason the free space of the card doesn't correspond to the free space it should really have.
All my data on the SD card is 308.49MB but in Storage there are available only 25.84MB left. How is that even possible?
I have unmounted and remounted the SD card and I have also removed it and put it back in, but nothing changed. Due to this problem I am facing serious problems with the updates of my apps and with the installation of new apps (phone indicates there is not enough space in memory or SD card)
If someone can help it will be greatly appreciated.
I am using official ICS 4.0.4 android version.
Thanks in advance
I believe what you mean is internal memory,right?
normally new apps will install in internal memory.
maybe you can try some apps which can move apps to SD card.Or maybe you can try custom ROM here in Xda...
No, I am talking about the SD card. Not about the internal memory. The internal memory calculates the space properly.
The SD card on the other hand has a problem with that. Even though it is 2GB and and the data in it is 308.49MB it still shows no space available under the storage. Same applies when I use other apps that show the capacity of the SD card.
Take out the sd, connect it to your PC, back up your data and then format it again, then copy your data back to the sd

Not all Marshmallow firmwares / phones offer this capability. You should be able to force it from following this:

Hello everyone,
I am looking for the help of real expert on Android. I have an old phone Galaxy S II (I9100) and I said to myself that I will use it as an MP3 player, radio, handheld camera, in short, such a home device. I made a hard reset, installed CyanogenMod, that I updated, installed the necessary applications and because the phone has storage for applications only 2GB many I moved to internal storage for data that is marked as an SD card (in the storage manager) and it has 16 GB For MP3 I bought 64 gigabytes Samsung SD card. And then there was my problem. When I slid the SD card and run the system, it didn't see the application transferred to the internal data storage. The problem I think is that the system has changed the path of the internal data storage and the actual SD card. So it doesn't seek for apps in the internal data storage, but in the blank SD card. Is there any way to replace or modify the path to both memories so that the system will be looking for applications where before, ie only the internal data storage and not on an external SD card? Than I will be able to change SD card any time and it will not affect installed apps moved into internal storage for data. I have installed CM 12 with a root. All three storages can system see. Thank you very much.
Hi, I formatted my SanDisk 16gb card as Internal Storage for my Android Marshmallow 6.0 Moto G 2nd Gen XT1068 *rooted* device. So far so good, the problem is that my phone was failing really bad yesterday not sure why, it won't move files from internal to the sd card so it was running out of space and the whole system started failing. I was not able to backup my SD card neither, because my developer options were blocked so no USB debugging available., I tried everything I found online, from stoping removing cache from Media internal app and some others, etc, and nothing worked.
So I decided to restore my phone to stock.
I did this and now it works fine, however it does not recognize my SD card (because it was formatted as internal storage with the "previous" device) so now I have a 16gb SD Card (4GB occupied) inaccessible to make a backup.
Is there a way to gain access to this SD card so I can move out all the files I've in there so I can format it again as internal storage?
Any information missing please ask,
Thanks in advance,
Denis.
On my previous ROM I had the SD card as part of the internal storage so it was all one big storage. Phone had 64gb and SD card is 128 so I had nearly 200gb
I upgrade the ROM by clearing the system, cache, dalvik etc as standard. Once upgrade it seems to only detect the SD card storage.
My settings show available 31gb out of total 128gb.
The phone system storage is at 74gb
But it's a fresh upgrade with hardly anything installed yet . Why is the system storage at 74gb?
This is on revolution os miuo 11
anyone have any ideas on this? at first i thought it may not be seeing the sd card, but i removed it from the phone and powered the phone on and it detects the sd card is missing and i dont see some apps..
Its frustrating as i dont see what is taking 74gb of my storage up. it is a relatively new install rom so it doesnt have loads of data or apps...
