Galaxy S6 :: Why Can't Access All Of Storage (Torrents)
Jul 22, 2015
I got a brand new Galaxy S6 the other day. I like to download torrents for a few shows I can't get in my area ( I know that is frowned upon but oh well). I use Utorrent, and for some reason I am limited to exactly 547 MB of storage. After only half a gig of downloading, I get alerts that I am running out of space, and sure enough when I checked the storage all 32 gigs are taken up. Also it is 99 percent "misc" files with the 500MB of video taking up only a very tiny percentage. When I delete the one torrent I get all 32 gigs back How can one little torrent bring with it 20 or so gigs of misc files?? Never had this problem with my S5.
I'm trying to clear my phone storage but it won't let me access the gallery?I have a fullstorage on my Galaxy S6 32G, and I'm really trying to clear a lot of photos which are about 6,000... the problem is, that every time I log onto the gallery app, it atomically tells me I have to clear my files and redirects me to the files app, where it tells me the same thing any time I click on any photo. It's telling me to clear filea while not allowing me to see any, how can I?
I have to use my phone in mass storage mode in order for it to be seen by my car stereo (Alpine x305s). However, It appears that you can only access the internal memory of the phone in this mode. Strangely, it does have a folder called external_sd, but this seems to reference a folder on the internal space. How I can access my external (32 gig) card.
Why my nexus 6 doesn't download any torrents? I was able to use utorrent on my note 4 and everything would download fine but now on my nexus 6 it will add the torrent to my list but will not download anything. Could this be because the encryption built into the nexus 6?
I am attempting to add music to my phone from my computer's music library. When I plug in my Android Nexus 5, I keep getting a message popping up on my computer that says: "Can't access device storage: if your devices screen is locked, disconnect the USB cable, unlock your screen, and then reconnect the USB cable." I have tried this answer without success many times. How do I access and update my music collection from my laptop?? (I have a 2008 Apple MacBook Pro). Is there another way to update my music via internet, or any other method that does not require direct connection?
How can I access the internal storage? When I connect via USB, the only storage shown is the SD card I have installed. I can't see the internal storage. I would like to add my pictures from my old Captivate to my new Atrix 2 but I can't. I only have a 2G SD card, which has been fine for years since I save pictures to the phone's memory and do a back up periodically. So how do I put my old pictures on the phone, not the SD card? I have tried the USB, MotoLink (which I found out isn't compatible yet), and Phone Portal...nothing. Help please!On the Captivate, I could plug in the USB and two drives would appear...one for the phone's internal memory and one for the external SD card. Does it work that way with the Atrix 2?
I went to transfer some files from my PC the other day for the first time on my nexus, and the drivers installed fine. When I searched for my device under 'my PC' it wouldn't appear. I tried switching between media and storage, disconnecting and reconnecting, switching USB ports. Nothing worked.
Trying to copy files from my old RAZR to the new HD and it appears the internal storage is no longer available to access via the USB computer connection. Am I missing a setting or is this a permanent change in the system?
Okay, so I have got my Lumia 820 and tried to send my contacts from my old N8. I managed to connect via bluetooth and send the contacts, but they are no where to be found. Tried going into Phone Storage, but from there I can only see how much memory is taken up and how much is left.
how I could access the phone storage memory and the files on there?
I have a Pearl and recently installed Desktop Manager 6.0. I do not have any media card installed on the device. When I start up Desktop Manager and try to access the pictures or other files stored on the permanent internal memory, Desktop Manager complains I have no card installed. In the previous versions, you had the choice of accessing either the internal memory or the media card, but I see no option for that in version 6.0.
Verizon Tour 9630. I am not using an SD card and I'm trying to mount the internal memory as a drive in Windows, so that I can access and download pictures taken with the camera. When I plug it in, Windows mounts a removable drive but doesn't let me access it (insert card). Storage class driver is turned on (or off, makes no difference). BB desktop is installed, but doesn't help.
this summer, I've broken the LCD SCREEN on my phone, MOTOROLA RAZR XT910 . There is a lot, like A LOT of informations and files that I need, I've alrady tried to connect via the HDMI CABLE, but nothing. It's connected to the computer and I can't access the files, because it says to "insert a disk into the driver". Is there any program on the NET so I can get my files back and put them on my computer?
It is very frustrating when you can't access to memory storage in Nokia Lumia 800 and even Can't transfer documents (PDF, Word Excel) to phone.I think Zune is the too fancy tools (software) to transfer and not user friendly.Probably move back to HTC as no point have a good graphic phone without having essential normal functions.
I have a desktop cradle that I put my phone on at work. I have the USB cable from it plugged into my PC. This is nice, because it slowly charges all day, and if I want to share files between my phone and PC, they're connected.
At least, that's how it was with my S4.
With the S6, all I see in Windows Explorer is the S6 listed under my C drive. When I click on it, it's blank. Well, at least once or twice, I've seen "Phone" under there and could then drill into the folders of the internal storage. But I don't understand why that only happened once or twice and why I can't get it to happen again.
I have a 16gb Galaxy s5, the device memory bar at the top of the storage area, shows I have about 1/3 storage available. However, my available space is 349 mb... Misc files: 5.60 gb, cached: 604 kb, downloads: 1.32 mb, audio: 120 kb, pictures/videos: 13.62 mb, Applications: 4.06 gb. I have a 32 gb sd card in, and have put many applications and contacts on the sd card. I have the popup: Storage space running out. Some system functions may not work.
I was slightly wary about the no sd slot but ended up ordering cos its just too good a phone. But are there any storage cloud options where i canstore stuff when my phone memory gets full? Wont be hard to max it out with the 4k recordings and 16mp pictures.
I've been googling around and haven't found an answer on how the fingerprint data is stored on the phones and is it safe regardless of device encryption?
The S5 implementation of the data was horrible and Samsung is not to concerned it seems. At least Apple clearly outlines how and where the data is stored.
My phone comes with 16gb on board, I have had it for 14 months. I checked it and my apps are only using about 1.0gb, with data downloads, pictures and so on the phone say it's only using about 4gb but the rest of it says other 11.5gb. I cleaned the internet history, catch files, all calls in the log, and so on. I can't find what is burning up all my storage space. Is there some hidden stuff somewhere I have to clear or something. I had this problems like last month and deleted like 4 apps so I gained about 1gb, but the phone filled it up with something.
I've recently moved from Samsung S3 to S5 on Verizon. Used to have plenty of storage space to add movies that I could watch while on airplane. However, with the S5 I only have about 1GB free at the moment. Is there any way to add extra storage capacity to this device? If so, how much storage can I add?
I simply cannot find where to change the camera storage location.From the guides I've seen online, it should be under the camera setting options, but I simply DO NOT see a storage option.I'm on lollipop and my phone is the sprint model.
i have the ota file for android 5.0 on my galaxy s5 at&t version. On a website it says to update with the ota file it must be on android 4.4.4 although i cant find anyway of getting that update. Can i update from 4.4.2 or will anything bad happen?
For the last month or two, my phone storage has been "running low". I bought a 16GB SD card to get by on my vacation for pictures and all that, worked out. Moved a BUNCH of stuff over to the SD card, still says it's running low. I decided to buy a 64GB SD card and put it in, but the phone still says the storage is running low WITH the SD card mounted.
How am I supposed to get rid of the notification that the storage is low and actually be able to download apps and take pictures?
I have an Samsung Galaxy S2, and i have installed alot BIG games, but when i see that my USB STROAGE is almost full, i deleted all games but SD card seems to be full still i downloaded files of games probably thats why my USB STROAGE is full.i tired to search with "my file" but there are alot folders so i cant find games folders...how to clean my USB STROAGE without Formatting USB STROGE?
I'm using Galaxy S6 edge (SM-G25F) and I'm trying to move an app to system but it says system storage is full. I have been searching for a while but couldn't find any solution, every search result take to "how to free up internal storage" but what i need is to free up system storage. My device is rooted and my storages reads as:
Root: 1.57MB free of 3.53GB
Internal storage: 2.8GB free of 25.31GB
So the one I need to free up is root as i need to move an app to system and its not possible if its full.
P.S: i didnt install any apps in system or I would have deleted or moved them to internal storage. I dont even know what taking up all this space.
How to enable USB Mass Storage mode on Samsung Galaxy S6? Developer option in "ON",and windows explorer see my phone......but usual i work with Total Commander.
Android 5.0.2, without root...and in phone I have only 2 options: MTP and PTP.
Everytime I try to check my storage in my settings it causes my settings to stop working. Touchwiz also stops working. This is my second s6 and things are not looking good.
