Hello,
I have the following problem :
My 2 GB storage card is full according to the memory applet, but the actual size of the files on the storage card is only 600 MB.
I admit I copied a lot of files on the card and deleted them afterwards.
How can I solve my problem.
Thanks in Advance,
Flabber

Hallo everyone,
I just get my SGS and I notice that the memory structure is so defined:
- The internal storage memory (8Gb, but i see only 5,7) is called "SDcard"
- the phisical external Sd card is seen as a directory, called "SD" under the SDcard.
Now my questions are:
When I install big seized programs,e.g. Navigators, all the program data are by default stored in the internal memory, which is limited and fix (not expandable). I would install the navigation map on the exernal Sd.
Is this a problem of Android or just how SGS impemented it? Is it possible to make the external card be rocognised as primary SDcard?
- Why the internal memory is only 5,7Gb? ok 8Gb are theoretical but 2,3 GB less ....
Thanks
Bye
The reason it's so small is because the OS and it's apps have to go somewhere, also when Froyo is released you'll be able to install apps directly to the SD card but know that internal memory is much faster than an SD card so you may what to keep that in mind when you factor in what apps to install to SD.
Hallo Sebrina,
thanks for the answer, I supposed the 2,3 Gb were for the OS, in fact the space for application is 1,8GB, but I hoped the two memorys are separated.
So with froyo will be able really to install the app on the real Sd card, and not on the internal memory, whichist called "SDcard" by the os?
Thanks

is it possible to re-partition the internal SD?
Hello,
after having discovered that the 2 internals Go found in the Streak were in fact an extra micro sd hidden inside the device, I'm dreaming of changing this card to a bigger one...
Imagine, one internal 32 Go card, plus an external 32 Go.... 64 Go of memory space user accessible.... wouldn't it be wonderfull ?
So my question is :
can we create under android a new partition that would be recognize as an user accessible space ?
in this case, we just need to copy the 2 Go internal memory card, containing system data, to a 2Go partition from a 32 Go µsd card, and creating another partition with the other 30 Go, that would be usable by user, to store music, movies and so...
what do you think of this ?
what version of android would be required for such an experience ?
boujou bien,
K.

I have bought a new Sandisk 32 GB class 4 sd card
I formatted it as fat32 with the windows normal utility
the strange thing is that when I look at each single file in it with a file manager it shows its size correctly
however the system reports that the space occupied in the card is twice as much as what it really is.
For example I copied in it all of the content of my old 8 GB card, and after copying
the system said that the occupied space in the new card was 15 GB, which is impossible.
Could it be a formatting related problem?
Format it from the phone, from Settings -> Sd card or something like that.
Thanks for the help
anyway I fixed following a different method
Made a long format
then copied the data from the old card to the computer and then those into the new card
Before I copied directly between the cards after a quick format.
Now I see that any new file that I add occupies the right amount of space
im just a bit confused about the sd card in general,,my phone of astro file manager has like,,,phone>sdcard>externalsd...which is weird and i never know if im searching my phone or my sd card...
when i try and load things i have dragged on my pc desktop onto sdcard they ussualy then go into phone>sdcard>external sd and never just .... sd card
i was trying to load images into sketchbook mobile and i could only do so from the phones camera pictures where i now have to drag everything omn the desktop....why cant i make use of my 32gb external sd card in this regard?
where are the applications for augmenting tehe sd card memory or whatever not for just having aplication sent to sd card memory,
does the sd card just work like say,,an external usb hard drive for a computer except you can put some inatalled application on it,,,,,but nothing like media,,photos videos etc?
or is it just me?
cheers
Your phone aka tab is divided into parts
System arnd 2 gigs
SDCARD arnd 14 gigs
System works as space for system
Sd as your sd card - Flashing doesn't destroy data on this
And if you place another SD card then it is termed as external_sd
So primary storage for you phone is SD Which is its own space
PS : there is usb storage folder (in sd card directory) also which is for your pendrives, etc

there are a lot more partitions than the 2 you mentioned!
efs
system (~1GB)
data (~2GB)
hidden
...
as far as i remember the note has 8 or 9 partitions (all of them have to be
subtracted from the initial 16gig (unformated!! formated it will be significantly less) storage!
so from your 16gigs you should see around 11GB as free mem on '"sdcard"!
i can't tell exactly because i have the 32gb internal version. with it a little more than 25,5GB are shown as "total" available (not free) storage!
as mentioned above
the rom has 1gb partition
data/system has 2gb
rest is used for sd card purposes around about 11.8gb
the device sees the internal memory as sd memory, the external sd card is seen under /external_sd
the file mangers will automatically go directly to the internal storage when browsing
i understand that I get about 12 GB left from 16 internally but.....
what can I actually do with the external_sd?
I cant load jpeggs onto sketchbook mobile at the moment. Reaally annoying
Any reason as to why it wouldn't recognize files in the external_sd?
Also we were saying about partitins and other random folder in the phone SD and external sd? anyone got a referrl to which ones can be deleted and generally how to make the phone and external sd card more navigation friendly?
please this would be really helpful
external_sd is your physical micro sd card, you can do what you want with it, i personally have all my music and movies on there
what files are you putting on the card?

Hi guys.
On my latest post I saw that I'm using LineageOS with encryption but I think that I have a problem.
I have 16Gb as internal storage and 32Gb SD card as external. I formated to use SD card as extended internal storage. On storage settings display correct 9Gb used from 43 Gb total storage, but ES File explorer and Windows 8.1 display that I have 4.95Gb used from 10.82Gb total storage.
How to I solve this? Thanks.

That's calculation of all partitions (system,, OEM, and many one)..
As you know from PC it shows 10GB total and in Screenshot (of storage) it's 14GB.. that means 4 GB is covered for System and other partition purpose (which is not calculated by PC and it cannot be used for user purpose), while you have used 4GB out of 10GB...
I hope i explained right..?
@____Mdd I also thought it was a miscalculation but is very strange, It is as if display only the internal storage and not SD card.
For me this is very strange.
