Hello
I noticed today, that whatsapp has changed its storage location to /Android/Media/com.whatsapp. What gives?
Also, moved all files from dual app whatsapp to this location, so now I have no way to retrieving files seperately.
Is there anyway to keep both the whatsapp storage locations seperate? Move storage to their previous folders?
I am on Android 10, 2.5 OneUI.

Hi, I was just wondering if you know how to change the sync folder for emails to the internal storage?
as i have alot of emails, the phone memory isnt big enough and I cant find a way to change the root folder so, that it syncs all emails automatically to the internal storage driver?
any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!
come on people no one knows any solutions at all??
I assume you are saving attatchments to internal storage?
Messaging -> Options -> Storage
You must have a massive amount of emails to have space issues, its just plain text after all.
not just attachments, i want the emails to be also in the internal drive, because when I use the active sync from windows it just puts them into the phone memory where there isnt enough space for it all.
Hello forum,
I really need some help here please.
I'm always getting database storage almost full the last time got this was last week and I had to delete all my sms email and 300 contacts.

I checked my SD card and phone storage in the settings and this is wat it reads:

Available space 18.45GB
SD card is mounted
Internal Memory
Total Space 12.83
available space 9.18
Internal Phone Storage
Available space 1.08GB
I have memory space available why am I getting this message?
Thr message I get i this:
Memory Full
Database storage is nearly full
Delete some user created data from Contacts, Message, Calendar, or Call log and try again
I've delete all Calendar, Call logs Messages and it says that my sim is full whats the problem here.
Any help please.
Thank You

Database storage is dbdata
Open a terminal app and enter "df" to see how much space is free on dbdata. If it's full, we need to thing of a way for rectify the issue, if it's not full then I'm completely wrong/thick
Ok I had the issue with my contacts2.db under /dbdata becoming very large (approx 90mb) and found a solution. Im posting it here in case it helps others. The solution had nothing to do with my handset or android in general. it was ALL to do with google contacts.
when i logged on to google contacts and tried to export "My Contacts" in an effort to fix up the problem with contacts2 on my android device being so large i discovered something weird. There is an option in the export panel to export "All Contacts" as an alternative to "My Contacts". Now "My Contacts" showed me having approx 400 contacts but "All Contacts" showed as 390000+ contacts.... WTF???... Anyhow having pulled the contacts2.db off my droid and used a sqlite browser to examine the data I noticed there seemed to be at least 300 copies of each contact. So it seems like droid is syncing "All Contacts" from google instead of "My contacts" (unverified, just my assumption).
Within google contacts there is a function to "Find and Merge duplicate contacts" which seems to chose a subset (maybe 10 or so) of your contacts and search for duplicates and merge them into a single record. After performing "Find and Merge duplicate contacts" continually until i received the "No Duplicates found" response i then went back to the "export" function and noticed my "ALL Contacts" had come down from 390000+ to approx 400.
Then on my droid i went into settings=>applications=>manage application=>All=>contacts storage and hit "clear data" and rebooted it. The contacts resync'd from google contacts and then when i checked "contacts storage" it had come down from 90mb to 1.4mb.
I have no answer at this stage as to why google contacts was getting so many duplicates. My only guess is that it is something to do with the sync back from droid to gcontacts. Anyhow I just thought i would publish the solution i found as I have seen plenty of threads from other people with the same issue.
Good luck !

Hi guys
Kindle Fire HD 7, 2012 model
I know this may not be the best forum to ask this question (or even the best site), but I've searched the internet for help, and been to the Cyanogenmod site unsuccessfully.
I moved over to CM11 a week ago and I like it! (thanks to everyone who posted help and advice, tutorials etc on this subject, and to those who posted in response to problems I had)
The one problem I'm having with CM11 is "Internal Error" message I get from the ROM's email app. It only happens when I check my Gmail accounts, and only when I browse the non-system folders (ie ones I created myself). The app is also not synching correctly either so that the folder contents in my accounts are different from that shown in the app.
My other non-Gmail accounts don't have any errors and appear to sync correctly.
Nb, this is NOT the Gmail app I'm talking about, it is the app that comes with CM11. The Gmail app appears to work ok, but obviously only shows Gmail accounts and I don't want to use different apps for different accounts.
I've tried CM11 snapshot 6 & 7 and both are the same. Even tried a couple of nightlies. The only similar problem I saw on the CM site was for CM10, and the OP updated the ROM and it solved the problem.
I've tried K9 and Aqua mail but didn't like the interfaces, and don't see why the ROM app wouldn't work.
Anyone any ideas on what to do? I've obviously tried clearing the cache as well as deleting the accounts and adding again to no avail.
(Ironically, one of the big incentives to move from stock was because of the difficulties I had in syncing the calendar and contacts.... those work perfectly in CM11, almost instant updates, but the email is just as big a problem )
any ideas anyone?

The Gmail app has been having issues, for some, for over a week now. This is probably what's going on. It's a Gmail synching issue not a CM issue.

Thanks for your response LE, but I don't think it is a Gmail issue. I don't see any problems with my desktop that accesses GMail via client software, and there are no problems with the other android apps I've looked at simultaneously with the ROM app. All the other apps correctly access the account without any errors, but I think I have a clue as to where the problem lies.
To allow my desktop SW Mozilla Thunderbird to display the account folders correctly, there is a "IMAP server directory" which is named [Google Mail] it's enclosed in square brackets. Without this entry, all folders, both system and personal are put under a folder called Google Mail, although personal folders don't always show up. Generally, the IMAP communication between GMail and Thunderbird seems a bit dodgy, and I'm not sure where the fault lies.
So, when I look in the app, I see the system folders, no problem, then at the bottom is the [Google Mail] folder where my messages lie. Tapping on that folder brings up the rest of my folders, but also the Internal Error. The app seems to have a problem with that folder. Other apps I've tried behave normally, but instead of displaying the folders simply as a folder list, eg
Folder 1
Folder 2 (and nested inside)
Sub folder 1
Sub folder 2 etc
They display as
[Google Mail]/Folder 1
[Google Mail]/Folder 2
[Google Mail]/Folder 2/Sub folder 1
[Google Mail]/Folder 2/Sub folder 2
[Google Mail]/Folder 3
[Google Mail]/Folder 3/Sub folder 1
[Google Mail]/Folder 3/Sub folder 1/Sub-Sub folder 1
[Google Mail]/Folder 3/Sub folder 1/Sub-Sub folder 2
[Google Mail]/Folder 3/Sub folder 2
etc
A messy display that takes up lot of display space and makes finding a particular folder hard. The folders can't be collapsed, they are displayed as shown, even when for example, Folder 2 is a holding folder for the sub folders inside, and contains no files itself, it is still shown.
Obviously it looks like differences in IMAP implementation between GMail and various clients, but I can't be alone in this. Thunderbird has a reasonable user base and I've looked at 5 or 6 android apps that display the folder paths as above.
I've also just found that for some reason the ROM app won't show pictures inside mails, and they're attached either. I tap on the icon to show the picture but the icon changes without showing the picture. Anyone experience this?
I am having a very frustrating problem with folders disappearing.
Using MY Phone Explorer to sync I have a 64gb sd card with 12gb of photos I have two folders that persistently disappear.
There is plenty of room on the card and I have tried using USB to put the folders on the card.
They are ok for a day or so and Sync nicely then all of a sudden MPE says error unable to read folder file sync job MMS

Hi, i wanna transfer all my photos and videos on sdcard.
Every past and future images like whatsapp images, screenshot, etc. I am on Lollipop but can't move Album to sdcard.
Thank you
not sure about whatsapp photos/videos, but for all the rest you can go to settings -> storage -> transfer data to SD card
Don't work with whatsapp... And every new photo i need to transfer manually going to storage...
How i can do automatically? And how for whatsapp media?
You can't do anything with WhatsApp until WhatsApp itself starts supporting it.
you can go to the camera settings and set the save location to the sdcard so that all new pictures taken will be saved automatically on your sdcard rather than the internal storage
