Phone never has space

[KO80]

For vids or pics, but when I check it says there is like at least 4 gb of my 16 gb card left.

Also when I put on a new album some times it doesn't stay on the phone.

How can I aleviate the first issue first and foremost? It's getting really annoying when I want to shoot something or video record something but it's always "full" and yet it's not full.

Anyone?

Did you format the SD card in the phone prior to using it? What class is it?

 

[KO80]

I just threw it in. I bought it from Walmart. It's a Toshiba 16GB.

 

[N_LaRUE]

OK, so have you tried formatting it since I suggested? Does is work now?

Telling me it's Toshiba doesn't mean much by the way.

How do you format it?

I bought the card as a new, blank card. I am not sure the link you provided says anything about that. It just says that "formatting" the card will erase everything on it.

It's right at the bottom.

Storage Sense -> SD Card -> Format SD Card
Tap Yes


Just because the card is new doesn't mean you shouldn't format it. Also, you should be using at least a Class 10 card, though older ones can be used a Class 10 is recommended.

Or in other words if your sd card is acting strange (as you describe) first copy what you already put on the card on your computer. Than format the card as N_LaRUE explained. Put then the data back on your sd card. If you than still get above problems your card is defect.

I just went into my phone and there is no "Storage Sense" option in the list of Apps.

Anyone know what I can do?

I think it's only introduced with Cyan. You also can use STORAGE CHECK under SETTINGS.

There's no option of that when I go in there.
