I am currently trying to install some apks i found in samsung application provided with the phone. For some reason, it says my phone does not have enough space to install asphalt 5 when i clearly have 6.33GB on my SD card.
After that, i decided to install some apk files i found online but it is giving the same error message on some of the apps. Does anyone have the same problem?
Edit: i just decided to look at the my storage again and i noticed theres an interal SD card with 6.33 GB left and a internal phone storage with 1.02 gb left. Am i getting this message because of the internal phone storage? Could someone tell me the differnence between the 2?
bump! i cant seem to figure it out
You have about 2GB of storage space for apps. What you want to look at is under SD Card and Phone Storage at the bottom of the page under Application Storage. It should tell you how much app storage space you have. Strange that you are running out of space unless you have crap ton of apps or running a lag fix. Depending on what lag fix you are running I know low storage space is a side effect.
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?
Hi.
I recently installed Slim-5.1.1.build.2.2-csolanol-20151210 on my Amazon Fire 5th gen.
It's working well, except for one thing: i can't move apps to the SD card external storage.
I know that internal storage space is necessary, to keep the tablet working fine, but i installed an app that occupies nearly 4gb (with data). I erased the app's data to lower it to <1gb but then i cannot move it to the 16gb SD.
Any help on how to workaround it?
i updated to 2.3, and still have the problem with moving apps to the external SD card.
i'm still given the "can't move to SD card, there's not enough storage space"....... with 14gb of available space
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.
I have an old Lexar microSDXC 633x UHS-I 128GB (previously used in 5 other Android devices)
I opted as internal storage.
It shows up as 256GB and free space calculations are cuz of that messed up.
External Apps can either see the onboard or the internal memory (not both)
Should I be worried? (Or how I can test its all working good?)
Can you try formatting it once from inside the phone and not the computer? Be sure to take a backup first

Not sure it would make a difference.
I already did that. It would not let you use it as Internal Storage if I did not Format it first.
And you cant take a backup of internal SD. IIRC it will not be usable and apps that had data there will be also corrupted.
A couple of options. 1st is to try a cleaner like ccleaner and see if that sorts it by cleaning the cache, last resort is a factory reset which has worked before now. The other thing is that it could be either a fake card (possibly) and/or damaged but the last is highly unlikely.

Tried ccleaner. Factory reset I will try only if I see any issues.
And ehm... no ... the card that I bought in a normal shop and used for many years (as I said) is not fake or damaged.
Antutu reports all correctly, so this lets me to believe its just Xiaomi or Oreo issue.

Hmm weird that it is showing 256gb as the phone specs only allow up to 128gb. My guess is the card itself as I have a 32gb in mine and it shows up fine.

Man, I'm having this exact problem but with a 128GB Sony UHS-1.
This should be a bug in Oreo.
I have the same "issue" with a brand new 64 GB Samsung SD card. And: before updating to Oreo, the storage capacity was shown correctly. So this seems to be a bug in Oreo. However, I don't find any other comments on this on the Internet, so it's probably limited to the Mi A1?

On the same Oreo version I had no problem with 64 GB Samsung Evo plus but found bug with same type 32 GB card. Not native apps shows correct size but Android says that it's half of memory occupared by system files
My wife's A1 has a problem with SD card. It doesn't format either as storage or as internal memory. It's a original Sandisk 64Gb UHS-I. She used it in her former Moto X Style and I formatted in a LG Pad 8.3 without problems. I took a crap SD Card and it formatted as storage without problem in A1.
I am experiencing the same problem, this is still an issue. If anyone has an idea for a fix, please let us know.
Yes, same problem with a genuine Samsung EVO Plus 64GB SDXC card. Shows up as 128GB card with 64GB used when formatted as internal system storage, but as a 64GB card when formatted as "removable" storage. So it's a phone-specific bug in some way.
Same here, my phone is 32gb, installed a 32gb sd card and format as internal, now its show total 96gb and the card is 64gb with more than 32gb used.
I think it add internal onto sd card and show that 32gb is already use, which mean its show 64gb sdcard but actually we get same useable amount.
Btw its still show correct available free space so its not a problem.
Hello ! same thing here with a samsung galaxy s5 sm-g900f on resurrection remix oreo 8.1 with four differents card : size 16 gB on esxternal memory , 32 GB on internal memory and also for 128GB it goes to 256GB on internal memory
just want to try with android 6.0.1 with the patch which unlock this feature https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/general/patch-adoptable-storage-enabler-t3470648 and its not good either. i can see the right size of the phone 16GB , the right size of sd card 119 GB but the sum above show: 256GB
I do have the same problem with my LG G6 and Samsung Evo Plus 128GB memory card.
If any workaround, please post.
But it doesn't affect the functionality, it works as intended. But when I see the storage in settings showing odd numbers.

I have the exact same problem. Same SD card. Although everything seems to work okay. Btw. I am on Android Pie.
In Solid Explorer the internalstorage isn't even shown. Only the SD card. Unlogical since the SD should expand the internal storage.
Imho a major f*ck up.
How can you trust your phone if the storage info is unreliable. ?
I have the same problem. I think it's a bug. See here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ra...al-storage-t3782347/post79349711#post79349711
Hi,
Any news about this bug ? I have the same on LineageOS 16.0.
Thanks
