Hi, I have a problem with my storage card since last week.
The system (Resco Explorer 5.14, File Explorer, Pocket Mechanic) says that I have no more free space on my storage card (Lexar 512 Mb) though actually there is still 60Mb of free space..
It never happened before..
BUt then if I pull out the storage card & put it in back, it will be normal again (I have 60 Mb free space)..
I haven't noticed what is the cause of this problem..
I use WM2003SE 2.06 WWE...
Anyone here know the solution ?
Thanks..
I have the same problem, the problem doesn't happen if you have more available free space...
I had a really annoying problem the other day. I had a lot of files on my Kingston 512 MB sd card but they were not available in my Qtek 2020. Then I thought I could read them from my PC - but no! So, I had to format the card.
Did anyone experience this?
this happens to me all the time unfortunatly
i have a cheap 1gig SDand it locks up my XDA IIi alot, it also reports as being full when it has plenty of space left.
I think its more to do with it being a cheap card so i'd go with a well known brand next time.
Mine is a kingston ultra 512... The only problem i have is the free space problem... Otherwise it works fine...

Hello everyone , im new on the xda dev. forum and this is my first thread.
I have a really bad problem with my Eten x500 glofiish , it can't read the microsd properly. If it's the micro sd's fault , its really no big deal cuz its cheap and i don't mind to buy a new one, i just hope its not the pda card reader.
Some time ago i got the micro sd out , i don't remember the reason , but as soon as i put it back in , the pda was working really slow , and i noticed that the micro sd was empty , no free space , no used space , no capacity. I didn't think its a serious problem , but i tried everything . As soon as i get the micro sd inside the pda , the memory information shows 1945.63 mb total capacity , 518.85 in use and 1426.78 free space for the storage card. After a few seconds it turns to 0 capacity , 0 in use , 0 free space. If i put the pda into stand-by , and turn it back on , the memory info shows again 1945.63 mb total capacity , 518.85 in use and 1426.78 free space , it doesn't change , but as soon as i use a file explorer like Resco , and try to open/modify a file on the microsd (it shows all the files and folders) it gets blank again.
Also , i tried formatting by activesync (from pc) and formatting by Resco File Explorer 2007. ActiveSync said Folder unaccesible or something like that , and resco said check if card is unlocked (unaccesible).
I have windows mobile 6 , from eten website. I also tried Clean booting.
Card is Kingston MicroSD 2 gb , Device is Eten x500 Glofiish.
Thanks and i hope somebody will help me make it work
For ETEN issues, head over to the excellent forum http://eten-users.eu/
Thank you for the link.
Alek123, I think you should check card's terminal and/or card slot, it may unclean. And there's some new WM6.1 ROM for X500, check it out and feel, it's cool....
So I bought 3 games on the Gameloft site because I wanted to take advantage of the buy 1 get 1 free deal. All my games except one didn't install correctly. It was Spiderman.
I downloaded and installed Spiderman, but when I go to launch it, it says that the game needs to download extra files. When I click yes the loading status comes on for a second and then I get an error.
Anyway I called Gameloft customer service and having tried some solutions, spiderman still would not download the extra files to initialize.
The next solution was to offer me another game, and I asked if I could get Rainbow 6 Vanguard. They texted me the link to download, and after having downloaded and installed, at the same point right after the Gameloft insignia, it says that I don't have enough external memory and to free space by deleting files.
I tried deleting as many files as I could from my 2 GB memory card and even though it says I have 2 GB available on the stock settings, within Elixir it says that my external memory has only 451 MB available.
I went to get me an 8 GB memory card hoping this would solve the problem, and still the stock settings from home menu would show I had 8 GB free, but in Elixir the external memory would still be at 400 something MBs available.
Does anyone know how to free up memory so I can run Rainbow 6 Vanguard?
Also does anyone know what's going on with Spiderman, and why I can't download the extra files that needs to be downloaded to initialize the game?
Oh and after I called Gameloft back to tell them Rainbow 6 wasn't working they let me choose another game and I got Avatar which installed fine.
I still get to keep Spiderman and Rainbow 6 for free, I just need to find a way to get them to run. Any help I'd appreciate. Thanks.
All gameloft games install on the phones internal memory they dont seem to install on the sd card. make sure you have enough internal phone memory for the games to install properly. You kill off all of the phones internal 8 gigs then your out of luck free up some internal space!
Just a shot in the dark and I could be way off base. But by chance are you sure the "External" memory you are referring to isn't the interal SD for the phone and not your actual swappable SD that you installed? If you are consistently seeing 400MB then It sounds like you've ran out of space on the interal SD storage. You should try patching your Gameloft games to run off of your 8GB SD if you haven't already. It will give you back space on the interal memory to download the rest of the files. Gameloft games can be pretty large.
I found this out the hard way when I got a little too happy with their B1G1 myself hehe. 6 games too happy and 0 space on the interal memory until I found the patch in the Optimus 2X forums to run the game off of the _External SD.
there is a workaround in the themes and apps section that lets you install gameloft games directly to your sd card.

Thanks for the response guys. I'm not sure where it's being installed, if it's on the internal or external memory, but when I move whatever applications that can be moved over to the external SD card and then try and run Rainbow 6 the amount of memory to be freed becomes higher from what was previously being asked, say from 450 MB needed to be free to 540 MB that needs to be free now.
So I'm thinking that the apps that I moved over to the external memory took up more space and that's why the number to be freed has gone up. I don't know.
I've also tried uninstalling every game that I bought hoping that it would free up memory and then I could run just that one game, Rainbow 6, but still I get the not enough space on memory card error and it tells me to delete a certain amount, right now after having reinstalled all my games along with Avatar, it's saying free up 728 MBs.
Anyway can you post a link to that patch you're talking about that's found on the Optimus 2x forums? I really wanna try this game, looks awesome.
On another note has anyone tried Spiderman on their G2x? Or are both Spiderman and Rainbow 6 incompatible with G2x?
jeffreynew23 post the link above your reply. It will tell you what to download and how to move Gameloft data to your swappable SD card to free up space on the internal SD and still play them. I moved 4 of my gameloft games to my external SD. You should move what you already have installed and working first because you will need the internal storage to first download the Game data before you patch the installer and move the files to the External storage.
Because the G2X has internal SD storage along with an External SD slot it can be confusing. By default, the internal SD storage is where your files download too. When you use the 2.2 builtin App2SD function that is also where the files go. The best way to see your interal vs external is to plug it into your PC. When you turn mass USB storage on you will get 2 USB Storage devices (instead one) which will be the Internal SD and your External SD.
by default... your gameloft files will install to the g2x internal memeory.. NOT your memory card.
HOWEVER.. a frriendly member of the xda forums has discovered a hack that will mod your gameloft apks to install to your external sd card.

Now.. to solve your 2gb sd card issue... i just so happen to own 3 8gb cards.. i only use 2... which means i have 1 lying around.... if you're interested in buying it off me for a very reasonable price PM me. OR... they're dirt cheap all over the net. if you're buying one.. I'd actually suggest you part with the $20 or so it would cost to get a 16gb... which is what i'll be doing very soon.. then I'll have TWO 8gb cards for your consideration.... LOL
Oh thanks again guys, but I've already read that and it seems complicated and tedious, also it doesn't seem stable and I don't wanna brick my phone since I'm still noob at modifying phone files and hacking.
Oh btate I also tried buying a 8 GB card yesterday to test to see if I could get more free memory that way and no go with Rainbow 6 or Spiderman, although on the LG Optimus 2x forums I see users of that model are playing Spiderman, so I'm not sure why I can't download the extra files?
Also I think it's those particular games that has errors because I just downloaded and installed Galaxy on Fire and it did ask me to download the additional files of I believe 580 something MBs and it installed fine along with Dungeon Defender.
One more thing though, I noticed when I uninstall the games then reinstall them they no longer need to download the extra files. Are they somehow left on your phone even after you uninstall the games taking up precious space and leaving traces of files?
Finally, if anyone wants to download a free movie here's a code that came with the micro SD card I bought. It's a free promo that came with the purchase and a 1 time use, so whoever wants to and does it first you score.
Just go to http://www1.movie-promo.com/PNY-US and then follow instructions and enter this code MZRJ5QR2Y5V9TNW5
Hi Guys
I have a strange problem here, maybe you could give some assistance
my Xoom is a UK Wifi one with 32gb internal storage, and a 16gb sdcard
but on looking in file explorer hd, it reports my internal storage as 28.3gb
and the free space available as 7.56gb, but looking at file and folder sizes
they total to 225mb, there seems to me as a lot of storage size missing ??
28.3gb - 225mb, equates to 28.075gb in my book of maths ??
what could possibly be wrong, my sd card records the correct size
I recently flashed to Eos4 wingray 2013617-203 nightly....
Hi
You may find accessing Storage under Settings gives you a better indication of what on your Xoom is occupying space.
If you have a lot of music this will likely take up several GB, as will films and large games.
Hello, i have problem in downloading apps from play store. I m using CM11 latest nightly with latest gapps. i m not facing the problem with all apps,
i can download apps like MX player but at the same time i cant download skype. It just stuck at 36kb. I cleared app data but no use. help
something similar happened to me when I filled up the internal SD card with too many files. Programs wouldn;t update be able to be installed. are you getting a low space warning? if your free space on the sd card falls below 10%, unpredictable things happen. so your ROM has about 5.9 gigs of free space on the 8 Gig internal card, if you fall below 500 mb, I think the OS complains and programs fail to install. The only remedy is to delete enough files to get back above 10% free.

I have 9 GB free space on my internal sd card.
Hello,
This is my first ever post here. I stumbled across this website when looking for a solution to the Kitkat 4.4 SD card issue, and it seems like the best place for advice on Hudl2 issues.
I got my Hudl2 for christmas, It had 9GB internal storage, but with a few apps on it that went to 8GB free space.
I have found that watching Programs on 4OD app, streaming them NOT downloading them is taking up space on my internal storage and my Hudl quickly started saying the internal storage was low.
Looking on the Setting-> Storage it showed a total of 1GB of apps installed, but ONLY 500kb free space and doesn't display any large files that could be the cause.
Anyone having similar issues, and know how to fix this problem? - the only fix i have found is a factory reset to free up the space until its full again.
Many thanks
