Any way to increase storage? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering if there's any way to increase storage on the Nexus 4 is it possible to swap out the Nexus 4 internal sd card for 64 gig expandable sd card and load the system on? I have a nexus 4 8 gig model and I want to increase storage. It sucks only having 6 gigs. Just tell me is it possible? And I don't want to use cloud storage

Short answer: No!
Long answer: There is no way to replace or expand the onboard memory.

There are no internal sdcard in the Nexus 4, that would be extremely poor design. The flash memory is soldered on the board.
You can try the Sandish WiFi flash drive or get the Nexus 5 32gb.

Get a otg-cable and you can plug in a usb flash drive

Only with external power. Poor solution if you actually want your mobile device to be mobile.

I don't know why I have 25GB. I didn't buy any storage expansion.
Mainly I use my Drive to store pictures/PDF. Of course, I spare 5GB on the phone for my Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and The Who collections, 1GB for apps, some MB for important files and the rest is free.

yeah i agree with the previous posts. just use cloud storage, there's a lot of them. you could also use google play music access to store your music in the cloud. then you also have google drive and dropbox for you office files. i also use the features of facebook and google+ in syncing my photos with them. now the only thing i cannot back up are my saved games and apps

A FYI for those who have lots of space missing on their SD card

Just wanted to put this out for those of you who are wondering where all your sd card space went. Go to you SD with a root explorer(I use ES explorer) locate a folder named LOST.DIR it is essentially a trash bin for your phone full of broken files, partial files, random cache files, temp files etc, delete the contents of the folder, or the whole folder if you are doing it from your phone, reboot your phone to rebuild the folder enjoy lots more space. Mine was using just under 4gb(3.98) and more than doubled my free space after deleteing and I haven't had any issues since deleteing since it is all temporary or broken files, by broken files I mean it collects all the remenants of apps you have deleted that left junk files behind but it doesn't empty itself, so mine had almost a years worth of files inside

I was wonder how the hell I'd used almost 11gb up so I was looking at folder sizes found that LOST.DIR and then looked up what it was figured I'd delete it and got back 4gb so I let it run over night no issues and thought I'd share lol basically had everything in it from 2 phones I'd used the sdcard in and copied across new cards not realizing I was transferring 50% junk
We are legion, for we are many
You should have a lost.dir on your SD the evo builds the folder every time it boots but mine is now just an empty folder instead of 4gb of crap lol I now have almost 9gb free instead of just over 3 I found some other folders that were old that I had no use for and got another 3.2 gb back then deleted all my old nandroids and made a fresh compressed on and bam 8.95gb free now lol

There are 2 folders called lost+found on internal but wiping cache and dalvik clear those out so no need to delete them LOST.DIR the only way I've found to clear it is to delete it since its tied to the SD card but being as how its all junk files its safe to delete most of what was in mine was file fragments or cached thumbnails from apps I had deleted that left bits and pieces behind just can't believe it was 3.98gb of garbage collected on my SD from what I understand most of the stuff if put in there when the SD checks for errors at boot or when you mount USB to the PC and don't click eject drive before unplugging

Empty trash in options on bootmanager does this as well. Got about 5.5 gigs back the first time. There is also a trash100 file you can empty.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
My .trash1000 folder was empty and my bootmanager is being retarded first it told me my liscense was invalid so I uninstalled wiped cache and dalvik and then reinstalled and now its telling me "error downloading files check your data connection" X( GrRRRrRRr
edit: boot manager is really starting to piss me off its been more trouble than it's worth first it kept freezing on rom switch and the update.zip wouldn't work so I'd have to nandroid back, got that working but it wouldn't boot from SD rom back to phone rom and I'd have to flash the update.zip or nandroid to get back, and now its giving me all kinds of errors driving me nuts

That blows!!! I've had a great experience with it so far. In fact running on decks off SD right now. I'm down to under 1 gig on my 16 gb card, so need to find some more files to dump.

Damn. Was hoping this would help me. In the last few days, I've lost about 180mb storage. Can't find where its used.
Last month (on a different from), my storage dropped from 520mb to 115 overnight. I found a lot of stuff and deleted it, but next day, my 245mb had dropped to.....(I'm not ****ting you 0kb free space - which, of course had me in a sweaty state of panic). I deleted everything I could. But then next time I flashed a rom (wipe data, cache, dalvik and VRsuperwipe), I got about 600mb back.
I had gone thru every file and folder on my card, and nothing seemed new or out of place. Anyhow, I just checked my LOST.DIR and its empty. But damn, I still have precious MB disappearing. And believe, when I'm hunting I go thru every folder on my SD (hell, I spend 30% of time on my Evo on SD, and the other 70% on xda app).
Anyhow. Thanks.

Mine is 2.38MB so I'm just gonna leave it for now.
But one thing for everyone.
I use ES file explorer. It has a great sd card analyst that I find very helpful. Just hit the menu button and click managers and then sd card analyst. It'll tell you what's using up space on your card....

No it doesn't. Basically your deleting whatever data cache the playstore has collected. It won't delete your apps, history or anything. Its like starting fresh.
So after you delete Data go back to playstore and you will see this...

Listen to command not working

Hello guys. I am having a problem with Google now in my nexus 4. I had a galaxy nexus where I could say to Google now play/listen to queen and it will appear the option to play songs on my phone from queen. And if I don't have any it just opens the YouTube app to play the songs. So I tried it now but it just appear a Google search. All other actions work fine like directions, set alarms, ask about stuff, but for songs is not working anymore. I have all three apps updated to the last version. So anyone is having the same problem?
Thanks in advance.

Try doing "Play [Song Here]".
It works fine here.
You have to type the name of the song not the artist and then it will appear in the search area in the other half of the screen or after searching.

It was working fine for me too a while ago and then suddenly stopped working after one of last updates. Maybe it's only working for US residents?
Not really one to talk to my phone, but just tested and it works here -- US.
Don't get the option for youtube but I do get play music, play store, and pandora.
Hmm, mine stopped working too. I don't use this often but I remember when Google Now first got released it was working for me.
You're using an older command. If you say "listen to" then the song, it may start working.
I had the same issue and switching commands seems to have worked.

My work's wifi IP looks like it comes from the US. "Listen to x" works there, but not at home. I think that may be the issue.
Edit: I just tried it with my VPN service, and it started working again. It really looks like it filters by IP.
It took me a while to figure out what was going on. But, this solution worked for me. Check it out at http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1rislc/how_do_i_make_google_now_play_music_on_nexus_5/
Google should make it more noticeable about what we needed to do to set Play Music as the default action for this.

Google Drive taking too much storage

Hi
I have an issue not specific with the 6p, I see the same issue with my Nexus5
I use Google Drive on Android to upload photos and videos and other files.
After many months of usage, the Google Drive app size is taking a few gigs and I don't understand why??
I don't use offline files on Drive, and If I clear the cache in the app setting, it doesn't help.
So the only solution I got is to clear all the app data after a few months . Do you understand why?
Is it that Drive is keeping a local backup in the app of every files I upload from the phone?
Thanks

Try that for one of your files (a bigger file probably, >50 MB) in the Drive, and check if the storage spaces consumes more data. It will confirm the situation.

Now when you look into Google Drive, and open the menu of a file. You will see two different options there, Download or Make available offline.
The difference between the two is - 'Download' option allows you save the file to your storage, and you can browse/open/modify it from other third-party apps too, besides just Google Drive itself. On the contrary - 'Make available offline' option, does the same thing, but it saves the file under the app itself, and it could only be accessed within Google Drive.
So, for the latter the file is saved under the Google Drive app, which in turn shows the increase in storage space. If you use the Download option, the app storage wouldn't be affected at all.

But I don't download them and I don't use offline. I just upload a video from the phone to Google Drive, nothing more.
If I look at the file I uploaded, it's not available offline. And even if I delete it from the app Drive I don't get back the storage in the app (not talking about the storage in the cloud)
