Okay so please excuse me, I've been out of the loop for a while I haven't had an android phone for quite a few years up until now.

I just got a Samsung Galaxy S5 a little over a week ago I got the 16gb Model and under Device Memory it's telling me I just have 1.3GB free, I can't seem to understand why. I have a 32GB Micro SD Card in the phone and have put only my games, as many that can go on it as possible (Which is all except for Angry Birds Go and Injustice).

Here you go.
Are you sure your phone is seeing your card?

I'm pretty sure it has my Micro SD Card recognized, as for the games I don't see how they are taking up the space if they are moved to the Micro SD Card.

Please bare in mind as I stated in my first post ALL games except for Injustice and Angry Birds Go are on the SD Card but here's pictures anyway.

Here's a photo showing the phone is recognizing the Micro SD Card

And photos of the games show out of the 3 you mentioned only Injustice is NOT on the Micro SD Card, the other two are.

Your "miscellaneous files" size is huge! I'm not a gamer but is game data maybe in there?
Can you tap "miscellaneous files" and screenshot what's in there? :thumbup:
 
Hi,

Yeah I know and understand that not all of the 16gb would be available to me and that some is used up by the phone itself.

I will take a picture of what is in the Misc files as soon as I get back from the store.
 
About 3.5GB is game data for those three games. Even though you moved two of them to SD, the bulk of the app data is still in phone storage (just a few MB of app data and game data is on SD).
 
I removed some games that I don't play, took off Dead Trigger 2, Dungeon Hunter 4, and Six Guns. Here's what's going on in my Miscellaneous files.

I'll type it out and put screenshots.

Here's a link to the photo gallery with the 4 photos showing the Miscellaneous files.

I know it don't matter to you, but I never could understand the value in games on a phone.

1st thing I would do is delete all of them.... but then, that is me...
 
I play all my games on my tablet, which is why I was comfortable with a 16gb phone. I got by fine on the S4, and that had less space than the S5.
