Internal, External storage very confused :-S - Galaxy S I9000 General

Just pick up 16GB today. Then I stick a fresh-of-the-box, 16GB of MSD card in(no pre-format)
After checking in SD card and phone storage in setting it says..
External SD Card
Total space = 14.83GB
Available space = 14.83GB
Internal SD card
Total space = 13.43GB
Available space = 13.43GB
Internal phone storage
Available space = 1.84GB
Why I only have 1.84GB left out of 16GB?!?! and what is the External, Internal SD Card?!?! Can someone explain please..

You get just under 2gb of the internal 16gb for apps, I have the 8gb model and again have about 1.8 gb for apps and the rest is internal storage

External SD Card -> This is your fresh out of the box microSD
Total space = 14.83GB
Available space = 14.83GB
Internal SD card -> This is a 14GB partition of the 16GB internal phone storage
Total space = 13.43GB
Available space = 13.43GB
Internal phone storage -> This is the rest of the internal phone storage, mainly used for installed apps
Available space = 1.84GB

Thanks! Do u know how to format SD Card? Mine is grayed out.

First Unmount it then you can format it

actually a lot of the reviews and specs out there have got it wrong. It isn't actually 2gb partitioned from the 16gb...they are separate memory modules.
Why? For the exact same reason that you don't actually get 16gb from a 16gb microsd card.

[Q] Question about internal Memory!!

Hey guys i have a question, on my ideos x5 it says that i must have 2GB internal memory.. But in SD properties where i can check my free space it says that my internal SD Card is Total 2GB and i have free 2 GB's and beneath that i says that my internal available memory is 395MB?
What is this?
Thank you very much!
This got me confused too.. I think the 2GB one is an internal one where it installs the apps or something, the external one is the one you put in and the other one is where it holds it's ram maybe?
This got me confused too.
If you go to Settings > SD card and phone storage you will see:
SD Card, mounted as /sdcard, which is your external SD card.
Internal SD Card, mounted as /HWUserData, which is the 2GB build-in SD card, you cannot install apps there if you have an external SD card.
Internal phone storage, mounted as /data, part of the NAND storage (so-called ROM), which is the data partition for the data of apps installed on phone.

Try to use link2sd for moving your apps to second partition of sd card (need repartition of SD Card)

How to Move from 16GB SD Card to 32 GB

Update: Never mind, I uninstalled some apps I haven't used in a long time, then moved the apps off of my SD card and to Device Memory.
--------------------------
I have a 16 GB external SD Card, I have apps which I run off of the SD card. I want to move to a new 32 GB SD card I bought. I don't have enough space to move any of the apps on the external SD Card back to the internal memory. How can I switch to the 32 GB SD card. (I tried just copying everything on the 16 SD card to the 32 GB SD card. But that didn't work, the apps didn't run.
Is my only option to uninstall the apps on the External SD card, move copy all the (non-app) data to the 32GB SD card, and then reistall all the apps I removed and then move those to the external SD card?
What things are usually hogging all the internal memory? I wish I could free up space. I use ES3 and Drives to explore and manage files on my phone.
Would the apps I move off of the External SD Card be moved to External Storage (not System)?
External Storage: 8.76GB, Free 475MB
extSdDard: 13.7, Free 1.16GB
System: 2.21 GB, Free 488 MB

Adoptable Storage Issues

I formatted my SD card for adoptable storage. I have a 128gb sd card. The device storage settings states that I’ve used 137gb of 256gb available. Prior to formatting I had used 17gb of 32gb available and the SD card was blank. What’s the problem?
It is normal, mine is showing 150 GB out of 256 GB (i have a 128 GB sdcard), see this:
http://www.modaco.com/news/android/...e-adoptable-storage-on-your-s7-s7-edge-r1632/
Did you restart your phone btw?
