This is probably a daft question but everytime I run a memory widget I have more then 192mb, what memory is being displayed here. BTW I know it is not my SD card memory. Can anyone answer?
That's your phone's internal memory (total 512MB).
It's not the RAM (total 192MB) and it's not SD card.

When viewing memory in System the capacity and availability of Program and Storage memory is shown.
When I install a program, does it get put into program memory? If not, how do I put it there as there's certainly a bunch of space going free.
Thanks.
Storage memory is the MircoSD card, Program memory is the card's internal memory.
Are you sure?
It's there without a storage card!
Go to Settings/System/Memory
The difference between storage and program memory that you are refferring to is how much memory do you have to store programs and such on your device, while the program memory refers to how much memory you have to run and execute a program on your device. When you insatll a program it goes to the storage memory and when you execute or run that program it runs and uses the program memory.

prolly simpler if you consider program memory as RAM and storage memory as HDD.. and SD card as extra storage..
Thanks for the replies, it's appreciated.
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
bye

is it possible to re-partition the internal SD?
Im thinking of getting a DHD soon and was wondering about the internal memory configuration.
Can the 1.5 gig of internal storage be used to store apps directly or do you have to move them to there after installation (Froyo A2SD)?
If that fills up can you move apps to an SD Card?
How to use internal SD memory after flashing the partition.zip, that changes internal memory to 1.4 GB. I did it to try Mlora. phone memory was around 690 MB. So that should still leave me with around 1 GB Internal Sd memory. But I am unable to use that. Is it because that memory is unformatted?? Where did that go? how to bring it back? Any help / knowledge appreciated...Thanks..
Hi,
Xolo q700 has 4GB internal memory bifurcated as ROM+Internal Storage+Phone Storage, with Internal Storage ~1GB and Phone Storage ~2GB
Most of the time, I use SD card instead of Phone Storage and I am finding that the free Internal Storage has come down to ~60 MB. I can't install many apps because of this.
I was trying to see if we can re-partition the Internal Memory to have more Internal Storage by getting space from Phone Storage. I don't want to use Link2SD because I can't run most apps if I remove the SD card. Also don't want to keep apps data on SD card.
I came across many threads, but by far [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240954] looks the simplest.
Anyone else has done something similar to their q700/q700i?
Admin/Devs, can you help us?
Thanks,
