Hi guys.
On my latest post I saw that I'm using LineageOS with encryption but I think that I have a problem.
I have 16Gb as internal storage and 32Gb SD card as external. I formated to use SD card as extended internal storage. On storage settings display correct 9Gb used from 43 Gb total storage, but ES File explorer and Windows 8.1 display that I have 4.95Gb used from 10.82Gb total storage.
How to I solve this? Thanks.
Regards

That's calculation of all partitions (system,, OEM, and many one)..
As you know from PC it shows 10GB total and in Screenshot (of storage) it's 14GB.. that means 4 GB is covered for System and other partition purpose (which is not calculated by PC and it cannot be used for user purpose), while you have used 4GB out of 10GB...
I hope i explained right..?
@____Mdd I also thought it was a miscalculation but is very strange, It is as if display only the internal storage and not SD card.
For me this is very strange.

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.
My nook has 7.0.3 encore stable, 4 GB card, and I was wondering if there was a way to increase the SD card space in Android to greater than 39 MB.
On my computer, I did extend the partition, but the extended area shows up as the internal storage, and I need the SD card space for some apps.
thanks
R u running CM7 from eMMC or booting it off uSD?
Do pls indicate clearly
I am booting CM7 off of the uSD card
If so, you should have at least 110MB+ space on "boot", roughly about 1GB for /data and /system and the rest, probably 2GB+ left over, for your own use.
Use a tool such as Minitool Partition Wizard, to extend the 4th partition on your SD card all the way to the max. You should get roughly over 3 GB of space on a 4GB card when running off uSD.
what I'm talking about is the "virtual" SD card that android recognizes. I did extend the fourth partition, but the space for my stuff goes under internal storage. is there a way I can make some of that space go under SD card that android recognizes?
did you ever get an answer or figure this out? I have been searching for 2 days and cannot find info on which partition CM7 thinks is "the phone" for the purpose of installing apps. I get 2-3 on then it says I am out of space.
Yes, when I used a 32 gB card, the internal storgae partition was about one gb, and my SD card partition (inside android) was 28 gb
So I guess it would depend on the sizeof your SD card?
Thanks for this thread guys!!
Minitool partition allowed me to upgrade my 8Gb microSD to at 32Gb microSD.
Now I can REALLY load those PDFs, ebooks, and music onto my Nookcolor's Android C7.
Hi, my internal storage (1 GB) is only 200 MB free. Someone say that I should clear the /data/lost+found folder, but i am not able to access /data with any file manager. How can I recover internal storage space? It happened after installing Android 2.3.5; i haven't much applications...
Thanks, Max
It seems to me that you are in error ...
1 - The internal memory is 2GB sd in U8800
2 - That you say have free memory is memory for rom, hence only 200Mb free ...
To see the 2GB you have to root the phone, and oh yes, after that Can you see in file manager real internal sd memory.
Excuse my bad writing

Hi Bruno, I don't think to be in error.
I can see a 1,56 GB memory (it is the /sdcard, the internal sd card, completely free)
I see a 4 GB memory (it is the /HWUserData, my external microsd card)
Finally there is a 1 GB memory, that is called "internal archive" and someone say that it is the /data (NAND or ROM)
I think I have to access /data to free some memory. I will try ES File Explorer with root permission... the I will update the post.
Thank you very much for you answer.

Ok, I understand.
Or you should have repartitioned the memory ... usually because the dimensions in which the U8800 are told ... Sd 2GB internal memory and a 600MB rom ... if you have 1Gb 1.5Gb and re-broke is because the memories!!
Or your phone is not the U8800 ... is another model (U8800 or U8800 PRO-51) that have 4GB of internal memory ... check behind the battery the actual model ...
Again excuse my bad writing! Google translator, lol

I say this from being another model, because the folder is HWUserData which is usually the internal memory ... to the micro sd is the external sdcard folder!!
My Oppo Find 5 storage is as follows:
1.97 GB Internal storage (which I guess it's the data partition)
25.23 GB SD card (not external sd card)
I only have 192MB left on Internal storage, and I can't install almost new apps. I tried moving apps to SD card, but many can't be moved.
I've installed CyanogenMod 12, so I have ClockworkMod recovery, and ADB and fastboot on my computer.
Can I make the "internal storage" partition bigger using some or all of the SD card partition? How?
Guyz one small help. 2day i formatted my sd card as internal storage on my g4+ then I had to copy all the files that were present before formatting sd as internal (i had taken backup before formatting) but when I connected my ph to pc after formatting I was able to see only phone storage so I copied everything in it having no other optionz then in ph storage settings I kept those files to be moved to sd card so it's been around more than 20 minutes moving is stuck at 27% ! What should I do now?? Ow crap i can't even post the screenshot as the system is detecting the storage is busy

When you format it as internal, it will not show your SD card because it's considered as internal storage itself.
That's literally what the function does.
For eg you have 32GB as phone internal storage and if you formatted your 16GB card as internal you would have 32+16 GB as your total storage.
And yes it would show you as Internal Storage as the SD card is now considered part of it.

If you don't have a high quality sdcard with U3 (not just high read but also high write speeds) then it make take a long time. I've just done this with my wife's Moto G4 and I gave up. It started moving but hung. I ordered a PNY Elite sdcard with 90Mb/s write speed. That worked much better and it moved stuff to the internal formatted sdcard.
One thing that is important is that it takes some time before it reports the entire internal storage that includes both phone plus sdcard storage. A reboot will help as well to have the sdcard be recognized by running apps.
That is just my experience. Your problem may be different.
The usual junk speed (or even normal speed) cards won't cut it as adapted storage. You need a card with minimum "UHS-I Speed Class 3". That's usually 90MB/s read and 80MB/s write average speeds. See the attached table.
The internal memory on the phones is much more performant than the average SD, that's why is more expensive when buy it in the phone (like when switching from 16 to 32 to 64GB internal, if everything else would stay equal).
PS: Some of the cheap chinese cards that are sold on eBay are really bad fakes, or just plain rejected cards from real manufacturers (meant to be destroyed but stolen and re-sold) and that storage will fail almost immediately.
I had this same issue. I sent my old SHIELD tablet back for RMA and got a new one. I got a new official samsung SD card, popped it in and formatted it to internal. So when I did that, it didn't combine the SD card with internal storage like it was supposed to. It just disappeared. 7.0 gives you the option to format it back to portable storage. So I did that and the SD card is usable again, but as separate storage :-/
something is definitely wrong.
