Hey!
I'm having a problem with my Note 3 which is getting pretty annoying.
After doing a clean install I only got about 2gb left on my 32gb phone, it tells me theres 21gb in miscellaneous files, but if I enter to see what it is, theres almost nothing there.
I read another thread about the same issue and he got an answer which told him that the other files probably were hidden on the phone and only accessible via a root explorer, which I have.
The problem is that I don't really know what files belong there anymore and which files should be gone.
The Note is running X-Note 20.0

I upgrated my HTC HD2 (with 16 gb sdcard that came along with it) without the card in during the process, flashed it to Windows 7 which worked great at first. (I've got the activation-code from windows)
But when I plugged it in to my computer, It shows 66,3 mb used on my internal memory and 0.0 mb left. So I read through like a million threads and didn't seem to find an answere that works.
I've tried and download "SDformatter" and followed it step by step. The formatting is successful, but then again, the phone doesn't seem to recognize the SD-card anyway. I've done it several times. Any help here?
Also, I can't get my marketplace to work. Some error message that says that I should check in again in a while, whatever. Read many people with the same problem as I have, and everyone's
talking 'bout an upcoming upgrade-fix for it. And my phone says that I have one new upgrade to do, but with no storage on the phone, I can't get it done!
(Saw in another thread someone posted a walkthrough on Jailbreak and unlock that he said would work. But then I'm eight back at the storage-problem)
Any thoughts here??? Watched every bloody thing on youtube about theese problems, and read every thread. I'm going mad.

mate, you need to have the card in before you install it, so plug the card in and hard reset it, note that the card still might not work, you may need a new card.
without the card working dont expect much from the device, so get your card working and see what happens
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12173186&postcount=187
if you cant get that card working then you will need a new one, see my post on that thread, it is PURE LUCK if you get a working card, but make sure its class 2 or 4 as they have the most luck
Marketplace issue sounds like you flashed the original DFT release LEO70 ROM and haven't done the reg edit to spoof WP7 marketplace into believeing your phone is HD7. Do reg edit or install one of the custom ROMs that already has it cooked in.
Hey guys...I have another thread in which I'm asking a question on how to tranfer files to the tablet..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42642994#post42642994. Anyway now that I've played with the device for a day or two the questions come. First off by flashing a new ROM, will this problem be solved?? ( Just to save u the time of looking I can't seem to tranfer files from my Tablet to PC and vice versa. Under MTP mode ( I think that's the name) the tablet shows up as a camera and everytime I try to make,copy or move a file I get an error message. Now for my SECOND question. looking at the ROM's I get confused when I go to the download pages. Some of them have names like Tilapia,Crespo,etc. What are those? I think it might be the different ROM's for the different devices and if so which is mine?? I have the 32 GB model that has wifi JDQ39 and this leads into my THIRD question. I purchased the tablet used off of ebay and it's in great condition. When i powered it up it hadn't been rooted or anything, but funny thing is I found two programs on it from t-mobile?? Yes I know, a My Account app and device information, the *my account* showing Data and minutes left, although there was none. So are these also used as phones? Or might've my apps been downloaded once I signed into google..which I think is what happened!! Anyway that's my adventures so far...hopefully this will help any other newbs who stumble upon this great tablet.

Not sure about the file copy problem but why don't you first try a factory reset and update to latest stock image and see if that does anything, nothing to lose since you just got the tablet. The names refers to the different models, if you have a 32 G wifi only that should be "grouper". Not sure why the tmobile apps are there, maybe it will be gone after you do the reset? Or maybe you have a phone on tmobile so when you choose to restore the account settings it restored the app for you?
So basically i decided to root my new phone, i am very new to rooting or anything android and decided to follow a guide step by step, i finshed the rooting process sucessfully and everything seemed to work, then i installed a bunch of rooting things such as : Orbot,Titanium Backup,Freedom?, and couple others but i forget their names, a couple hours later i tried to go on the Play Store and it said "no connection" so i googled it and ended up downloading a bunch of editing things like Es file explorer and some others, most things i came across said i had to edit a "hosts" file, but when i got there it was read only, so again more googling and and apparently i have to edit another file, something with a C? i forget now, all i remember is that i couldnt find that file so i made a (probably stupid) choice of editing the closest file by name which was "Chmod", i scrolled all the way down and added a new line like thay said, when that did nothing, i gave up and restarted my phone for pretty much no reason, once i got back in it shows sortof an "xed" out thing where the data bars should be and it refuses to connect to wifi. I did start unrooting by SU in its settings but for reason i cancelled i cant remember if it was before or after,(its really late at night here).
Im so scared that ill have to replace my phone and i know i made mistakes but just please help!!pleaseee I dont know what to do ((
I forgot what the new line said so i just went back to check and its gone ?
Also when i go in my data in settings it says 32 gbs USED !!!!WTFFFFF , i have a 6 gb plan
and apparently "removed apps" took up 11 gbs wtfff

Calm Down.. You can check your data usage in data usage . And regarding rooting i dont think it can harm your phone unless you know what you are doing. Try flashing stock ROM again follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
You give to little information.
What is your phone model? What guide did you use?
You clearly messed something up, so just do a full wipe and reflash the stock firmware.
Hi all,
First of all - forgive me if the subject has been up before - I did a bit of searching, but could't really find much about the subject.
I'm generally very pleased with the Mi A1 (my 4th "main" android phone after HTC Desire, SGS3 & OPO) but one thing that is giving me a bit of grief is this thing with access to my sd card, more precisely with copying content to the card by using different apps like root explorer, dropbox, dropsync pro etc.
Two very common actions in my usage are:
- Start an ftp-server on the phone and push new episodes of whatever tv-series I'm watching for the moment from computer to phone
- Open root explorer in my phone and copy stuff from my Dropbox folder to my phone (and back)
Neither of these actions can be done in my A1 (stock Oreo). The phone actually give the appearance of giving me the option to choose the sd-card but when trying to actually transfer something there it get's stuck before finishing or just return an error when trying.
So my question is - to get back to actually having rights to transfer stuff to my SD card without any problems, which of the below options would be the "easiest":
1. Does this work if I downgrade to Nougat?
2. Would rooting be enough if I stay on Oreo?
3. Can I transfer more freely with LOS 15.x?
4. Other options?
I actually found one thread mentioning this as a problem in stock Oreo so I know I'm not alone with the problem.
Thanks in advance,
/gosa
Hi,
Found this when searching Google for solutions this problem.
At the moment my only way of getting files onto the memory card is to download them to the internal storage and then using "Stock" file manager to copy them to the memory card... A bit to many steps if you ask me.
I was thinking that rooting might solve it but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Here one more with the same problem. I have the My A1 in ROM Stock Oreo 8 with root via magisk, and it is tedious and annoying not to be able to write to the external SD. I use ADM, apps for downloads Torrent, Solid Explorer.
Having Root I had the opportunity to try several possible solutions. Here some of them (note: none worked, nor resolved) I expose them in case someone else wants to try, possibly something will work for them.
Root ??????
SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD. (Developed by NextApp)
Magisk Modules??????
App Systemizer
ExSDCard Access Enabler
Xposed ??????
Marshmallow SD fix
KitKat SD Card Full Access (Caution: gives many errors in OS)
Handle External Storage
One way to take it with Solid Explore (it's more visual than the Stock Explorer):
* Solid Explorer, to paste or write to SD, always go to Root / mnt / media_RW / SD Card
As I mentioned. None of the above worked for me.
The only way to solve the problem momentarily is to download and use the apps all in the internal memory, with the stock file explorer moving the files to the external SD in a step later.
If someone can give light to this problem or a possible solution I will be very grateful.
*(sorry for my English)
Have you tried binding folder/creating softlink
Could you explain how it is done? Or inform about the subject.
Just got 8.1 and the problem is gone.
Only use my Note 3 to play audio and video files.
Recently noticed some video files missing on a 64GB exFAT mSD card.
1st thought they had been deleted by Note 3.
Just did a chkdsk scan and everything OK. Have a screen capture of this but do not know how to attach.
Additional Info: My Note 3 has stock Android 4.4.2 (KitCat) and never rooted.
Am Open to all suggestions how to correct this problem.
Hey I might can offer some assistance. BUT IM A FRESH NEWBIE TO THIS. I MEAN I JUST STARTED REALLY MESSING WITH MY PHONE 2 DAYS AGO. First what type of note 3 do you have? (ie. Sprint=SM-N900P) do you have service on your phone? Do you have any experience with custom ROMs?
SurageBook said:
? (ie. Sprint=SM-N900P) do you have service on your phone?
I hope not as this is not the Sprint model forum .
OP i would copy data off then full format sd card as a starter .
Damaged files look in the Lost Files folders .

SurageBook "what type of note 3 do you have?" Verizon "have service on your phone?" No "Do you have any experience with custom ROMs?" No
JJEgan "...i would copy data off then full format sd card as a starter." Agree did copy the wanted data.
As previously mentioned have used Windows longer than Android so used chkdsk to examine & fix the mSD Card. Everything was OK and all the missing files were shown and Not damaged,
Since posting I backed up all the wanted data and then put the mSD card back in my Note 3. All the missing files were there and undamaged. Can anyone explain this?
From experience most Windows users reload the OS every few years.
Am wondering if I should Factory reset my Android 4.4.2 OS?
Any recommendations?
Man if you just use that phone for a media device just create a backup of your phone, SD card, and copy it to your PC then install custom ROMs until you find one you like and root that bad boy. My note 3 is my primary phone with service and I have about 10 custom ROMs on my SD card that I switch every couple of days. Earlier today I was on Havco OS 2.8 android 9 now I'm on some rom that when it turns on theres a pink unicorn and its on android 7. Its easier than you think. Things you need are 1. TWRP(for your phone model) 2. Odin(on PC to flash things to your phone*optional) 3. Custom ROM 4. magisk(to root your phone) 5. Gapps (for the android version that's on the custom rom*optional) 6. Enjoy
SurageBook Thanks for the tips!
Do you know if any good tutorials concerning how to root the Verizon version of Note 3?
I don't know about Verizon I'm on sprint but if you go to the Verizon section you'll find a guide for your firmware. https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-note-3/general
Please guys post in the forum for your phones .
Otherwise i see a reply on here not your models leading to a bricked phone .

Tried to use the link you provided https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...mediarescanner but got 404 error.
Then used search words "Media Scanner" but got a lot of similar apps.

Also is it possible to post screen captures?
