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?

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?
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.
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..
I am on the newest update (yeah, stupid me, whatever). I moved some apps to the SD card, and downloaded some big games (GTA 3, GTA Vice City) but noticed that after the download, there was significantly less space on the internal storage but barely any of the storage space on the SD card went down. It says that the SD card data and the SD card app has >1 GB there for each of the applications, but the total (along with other apps) in the actual SD card is something around 800mb, and my storage space in my internal storage has decreased by a few gigabytes.
Is this issue because android is allocating most of it to the internal storage folder /sdcard instead of the external card?
Also, is there any way to get Google Play Music to download songs to the SD card instead of internal storage?
When I move apps to my SD card they still continue to use space (albeit less) on my internal storage. Several appear to keep data in the internal storage.
For example, I use the link2sdl app. Even when "moved" to the SD card, it still uses 7.3MB of internal storage for the application (it was 24.6MB before I moved it to the SD card), and 18.7 MB for Data. Is there any way to move an app COMPLETELY onto the SD card?
