SD card is fine, but upon further testing I think the phone storage is lying and is only very small

Do you have root? Some Samsung phones (I don't know if it applies to clones too) fill /data partition with log files (many MB every day). You could navigate to /data/log (or similar) and delete all *.log.gz, *.txt.gz
A handy tool to check where is space wasted is Disk Usage
Also note that some EMMC need reboot to update free space records, so phone may report memory is still full until you reboot.

Ok, thanks for the tips. I have root, and will try your suggestions when I get time.

I think so some phones show the phone memory is full because the app installation space is full it differ to media storage rom so plz go to setting and go to app settings and move the most of heavy app to sd card i think so it may help and try it once..............and doing it power off once and then on it

Error - Insufficient storage available

When I try to install something new I get this error.
Checking my partitions showed that I have free space.
What can I delete to clean up some space? In which partition do I need to do this?

Hi,
Some people go so far as to put all their apps from play store on SD card since they want to keep all their phone space and RAM free for a faster phone.
But to do so they need space the SD card So less media (movies & music) on it since they are the memory hog. If ur Rooted, the memory hog is ROM backups. So if u use ROM manager go to that file and only keep the backups u need.
The only suggestion I have is to keep all system apps on ur phones memory for faster accessibility.
Good luck

[Q] SD Card low format for resurrection?

I recently bought an SDXC Card, Samsung, 64GB Class 10 for my Galaxy Note 10.1 2014. It was working, and then, I think I probably took it out without unmounting and it corrupted. I searched for a way to fix it, and found about mbrfix, which fixed the card and it`s now recognizable. Then I took it out again, tried to use it on the tablet, in vain, but when I went back to the PC, now it gives me a CRC error everytime I try to fix MBR or use DiskPart to clean/create a volume.
Chkdsk won't work because it's being read in RAW format, which doesn't work.
So my question is, how to, I don't know, "low format" or something like that?
The data inside is not important, I just would like to make the card usable again.

Have you tried the "official" formatter?

Official formatter only works when there is a volume.
My last try was with Low Format Tool from HDD Guru, but it gave me a bunch of errors in the process, so I'm not confident that my card is original anymore... So ended up buying another, but this tool should be able to Ignore errors and completely format anything, resetting all volumes (and no need for full wipe, that kills sd cards)

Moving apps to SD

My problem is even though it says that 1.1 GB of the app is on the SD card it really isn't, it's still taking up internal storage. Or have I wrongfully assumed that App (SD Card) means it's on SD Card?
If I move to SD card, then back to internal and then back SD card only around 20 MBs are moved and it says under App (SD Card) 1.12 GB.
Any suggestions?
Also, should the System Data folder be 7 GB in size? Because it's pretty hefty : D
2 solutions either wait for android m where we can use a sdcard as internal storage or root
When you move an app to sdcard always some percent of data stays in internal storage
I think that my phone stock 5.1.1 had 9gb free out of 16gb.
Thanks for the response mate.
Yeah, I know it won't move the whole app, but what makes me wonder is why it says that most of it
is supposedly on SD, but it still takes internal storage (dunno why my earlier upload disappeared).
Is that just some kind of quirk of the Lollipop?

I think it was the same with kitkat also.
You can move apps but not the data files

[Q] Does the s7 support 256GB SD card?

Basically the system will recognize the card as internal storage but it's disabled in the UI hence using a pc with ADB to enable it. I have mine set up in split mode with 215gb internal and 25gb partitioned external. There are a few quirks about it, never format the external partition as it will take the internal partition with it, don't ask haha . Also the system incorrectly reports total storage not a big deal. A quick search will tell you more. :good:
Samsung was giving away a free 256GB Micro-SD cards when purchasing an S7 as a promotion a few months ago. Mine has been working just fine so far.
Woking fine without any problems.....

One shows the total space without excluding the space taken by system. (The whole chip)
The other one shows the space, excluding the system space. (User Data)
It's pretty obvious, and there's no mistake about it. It's like delivering the answer in two different ways.

How do I get the whole system back on the one with just user data so both will show whole system chip storage.
Also I have been trying to get firmware to flash using QFIL do you have any ideas how I can get passed the PC only recognizing the device as only (Android Boot device ). It's not recognize to Port to flash the firmware package. Do you have any ideas or maybe anything I can try to maybe get the ports to for download mode?
thank you for your time and consideration and input.
