I've got an LG Harmony (LG-M257) smartphone.

I ran out of internal memory (is that the same as "storage?"). So, I got a 32 GB card, mounted it, and seemed to have no problem because several GB's on it started to be used.

However, now I keep getting "out of storage" messages when I try to add an ebook, etc. The phone tells me that I still have 24 GB--or maybe it's 27 GB--left on the memory card! Does anyone have any idea what might be going on?

Related to that question, I can't find, even after lots of searching, a manual way to transfer files from the internal memory to the external memory. I tried to do that even before the phone told me that I was out of storage.

I know that I could probably dig the needed information out of the phone's owner's manual, which I suppose is on LG's website somewhere. But, I know that there are people on this thread who could give me the answers fairly quickly, and save me a lot of time looking and using trial-and-error to try to solve the problem(s).

If's there's anyone who knows the answers to one or both questions above, I sure would appreciate it if he/she would let me know.

Thanks.
