Hi,
I really want to buy a new S5 but I have a big concern. In my country I can get only the 16 GB model and I know that the system takes something around 7 GB. So I have only 10 GB left for apps. I currently have a Galaxy S3 16GB and the memory is always running out. Is it possible to use external 2 internal mod on the Galaxy S5?
and more important - does Whatsapp work with this mod? Because my Whatsapp media takes most of the memory of the internal memory. Is it possible to get Whatsapp to work with this mod perefectly as it works on the internal memory?
Thank you in advance.
please help me,
Thanks in advance
I am wondering the exact same thing

So I'm a tad confused... so allow for this question please. The GSM counterparts of the galaxy s had 8-16gb of internal memory thanks to internal SDcards - the Samsung Fascinate and I believe its the same with any cdma versions use 2gb of internal storage. There was a forum post I read somewhere that there was a rumor that this was because it was NAND flash memory and not an internal memory card. However, theres obviously a 'lag fix' for the fascinate and the only reason we would need a lag fix (afaik) is if it were infact still an internal SDcard running the slower samsung partition and not ext3 or 4. If this is the case, why was the internal memory limited to 2gb instead of 8gb? Any answers would be greatly appreciated and thank you for your time to answer, in advance.
I would also like to know if this "internal" memory is up-gradable. If it is a removeable SD card, can we replace with a larger one? For file sharing and things of that nature my Fascinate is harder to deal with than my friends Vibrants. They can transfer a movie lets say from their SD card to their phone, and then transfer to my SD card. I cannot obviously do this due to the lack of phone memory. I have tried to take mine apart to see if there is an internal memory card, but was afraid to dig any deeper into the hardware. Once the screws were removed the phone was not cooperating with the dissassembly. I didn't want to start forcing stuff and break something. Any ideas??
there is not a removable SD card of any type inside your phone. No manufacturer would sacrifice the internal space or spend the money to include an internal card slot.
There are however cases where some manufacturers have chosen to utilize an SD memory chip soldered to the board. You can bet this is done for cost reasons.

Hi,
I am new to Android as I just switched from iOS. Does getting an android phone with higher internal memory make the phone perform faster since the phone get slow when you install too many apps in the phone's internal memory? Would you guys recommend me to save everything in micro sd card? Is there a setting where I can set to directly install apps into micro sd card rather than internal memory? Please advise thanks so much =).

This is not a windows pc.. So your phone will not slow down.. However you may see battery drains.. You can use directory bind for installing application data on the external sdcard card..

I'm just trying to get a feel for how Samsung treats storage on their devices.
Do they consider the internal storage as both internal and SD Card storage on the device? So that \sdcard\ points to internal storage? Which would treat any inserted MicroSD like secondary storage that some programs might not use?
Or do they consider internal storage as only internal and \sdcard\ would only point to an inserted MicroSD?

They have internal SD (built in storage) and external SD.
External SD is not touched unless you indicate for it to be used specifically.
I like that Samsung continues to offer devices with a removable battery and MicroSD. This is a major factor for me.
I just wish the MicroSD could somehow be integrated with their internal storage. Since many apps may not be able to see the MicroSD. The apps would consider the internal storage to be SD space.

thats not a good idea, what if you had to remove the external sd card?

I'm using Data2SD with my Asus Transformer Infinity right now to have a 64GB data space (via SD card) and the internal 32GB as extra storage. I have not had to remove the card yet . And really even Data2Sd won't let me use the internal space on the device installing programs, just extra storage. But still its a good step.
Removing the card is not a concern, since I basically don't. If the card goes bad, rebuild things with a new card.
It would be great if the SGS4 gets a MOD like Data2SD. Then anyone who buys a 16GB version could get a 64GB MicroSD and turn it into a 64GB SGS4 . Same way we've turned our 32GB Asus Infinities into 64GB models, and our storage is even faster than the stock Asus internal storage :laugh: .
Oh, it's a good idea, it's soooo good .
I have a couple questions too if someone can please help:
1) What happens when you mount the device via USB. Can you mount either storage (internal or external sd)?
2) Can you easily place game files like GTA Vice City, music files, or Titanium/nandroid backups on the external?
Thanks!

1) they show up as separate drives
2) yes to. Everything except game files as the game would think you don't have the files and try to redownload them
Hello,
I first used a San Disk 32 gb card to use as the adoptable storage. It worked until it reached around 3 gb and then said it had no more storage available. I recently tried a Kingston 4 gb sd card that worked beautifully with no app problems, etc. However, I quickly ran out of storage. I purchased a PNY 32 gb card that worked for about the first week. Now, many of the apps say there is a problem and won't open. Also, when I try to switch an app to the sd card, it say's there is no space available, even though I have used less than 4 gb. Could it be the brand of SD Card? Should I buy and try a 16 gb card? I would really appreciate any help or guidance in getting my Nook Tab 7 to work properly with at least a 16 gb card. Thanks!

The quality and speed of the card will make a difference.
Myself I use SanDisk - just remember there are different levels.
Give this a try. Auto-formatting SDcard Link
I was pointed to, and have been testing / using it for about a month now on this device. There are some glitches, at least on this device. Some apps will just not work or will disappear. Others will revert back to true internal storage on update. Device or App related not sure.
It's trial and error on what needs to be internal and sudo internal. Migrating data to external helps but, still some apps require true internal storage.
Hi there!
I bought a 128 Gb micro sd card on ali express and its not working on my ZC521TL.
Previously formated, the phone says that the card's not compatible and the phone wants to format it itself.
After letting it do so, the phone freezes.
My 32 Gb card is woking well and it's written that the phone can accept a 256 Gb card.
So, is it possible that the card is from poor quality, even though it's working well for something else, or is it something thechnical that I'm not aware of?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Did You check the type of SD card you have ? Your phone supports SDXC , and previous generations, which can go up to 2Tb. There 's a new standard called SDUC with faster speeds but has memory up to 128Tb.
Check that first then check if the card work with a pc.
Thanks a lot.
I'll Make sure to buy the right one this time.
