The problem is that there is not enough available free space for correct work of win. mobile OS. Each time I reboot my phone, the greetings message appears, it also appears when I browsing in menu, trying to change settings. What should I do if there is no additional processes in progress besides Calendar, Messages or Contacts? I have only 700 kb free and remaining 41,3 mb are used. I thought that adding 2 gb flash micro sd card would solve my problem, but it still exists.
Thank you all.
I'll wait for your advices and suggestions.
Try to uninstall some programs (like today plugins and etc)
they use your memmory.
Adding a 2GB memory card isn't like just adding more memory to your PC - the phone treats the memory card as separate memory, not just an extension of the existing. You need to actually move files from the device to the card, remove programs and re-install them to the card instead of the device, set Pocket Outlook to save attachments to the memory card etc
But there is nothing to be uninstalled, cause there are only few programs, that were already in my phone when I bught it.
Should I clear a date storage? Then what will happen with my contact list and messages?
"Clear storage" will delete everything on your phone, including settings etc. It's similar to doing a hard reset.
If you've not got programs installed on your device, how much e-mail/contacts have you got stored on it?
where would i find today plugins etc to remove and then put on memory card,
and would i be better doin same with other folders like video, music etc , im new to the orbit so any advice is helpul thanks
Yes, always store stuff (docs, media etc) on the storage card; only use the phone memory when you REALY have to.
For your own stuff, use the built-in File Explorer and cut and paste all your files from "Documents" (or wherever you've saved them on the device) to the storage card.
As for programs/plug-ins, rather than just move them it's probably better to delete them and then re-install them, selecting "memory card" when it asks where you want to install them.
thanks for yr reply atleast i now know i can put most things on storage card. the onboard memory isnt that big and thats what confused me im use to havin a normal phone the orbit is all new to me thanks again for your help

I'm upgrading my storage card to 4gb. Most programs, program files, messaging, dlls, data, links, etc are on my 2gb storage card. When I install the new card, will the shortcuts remain the same; will the programs and links remain intact when I migrate to the new card? I REALLY don't want to reinstall all those programs and move all that data again.
thanks for any advice...

I presume that you are running WM5 or WM6? If so, you should copy ALL the files on the current card to the new larger capacity one.... Yes.
Done it myself... I cannot think of any gotchas.
You can miss out personal data files if you want to save space and if you are willing to swap back to the old card to pick them up and use them. For example, if you have created another My Documents folder containing your personal documents or pictures, music files etc. Anything that is required to start up or run a program should be left in place. All the short cuts should work just fine.
Thanks for the tip. Worked OK. I just copied all the files from my old card to my PC and then from the PC to the new card. The device and all the programs read the new card just like the old one (for those who have the same question in the future).
The picture below is what I have on my SD. I'm trying to maximize space on my SD. What can I remove? I'm using CM7.
Probably one of the largest things you can remove it old Nandroid backups. They're under clockworkmod>backups and can range from a couple hundred megs to over a gig, I try to keep that cleaned of any backups I'm not likely to use.
If you want to maximize space, why don't you sort the folders by size and then see what is using the most space and clear it depending on what you do and don't use.
I have the same question. My SD is cluttered with stuff left behind by deleted applications or are empty because they are unused by a currently installed application.
I plan to delete them one by one and see what happens. After making a backup, of course.
You could copy the contents of SD to hard drive, format the sd card again and put back from hard drive what is needed. Running it a couple days should tell you what is needed.
From my experience, you can delete anything really. If it's a folder put there by an app on your phone, once you launch the app again, it will put the files it needs back.
The only problem you would have, is if you have moved apps to your SD. Some apps auto install to the SD card...which can eat up space if you have plenty of room left on the phone itself. Try going into the settings in the Applications section and move all you can from the SD card to the phone...that will help cut down on space.
Another thing that will eat up space, is if you use your camera and the files save to the SD card. You can change that too so that they save to EMMC instead.
Other than that, if you have ringtones or wallpapers saved on the SD card that you never use or rarely use, you can probably move those over to EMMC as well...and move any music to EMMC as well. If your running a Sense ROM, then the stock music player will read the music from EMMC...so will PowerAMP if you use it.
Oh, some other stuff I noticed...check your downloads folder too. You can set up the stock browser to save files to EMMC as well.
Basically...anything you can save to EMMC or move there and still use it...then you should. At least that's what I do with my phone and my tiny 2gb card.
Hope that helps.
Hello,
Normally, in a perfect world, adoptable storage should allow to enhance memory thank to the sd card.
Anyone who tried to use the adoptable storage with the Nokia 6.1 encountered the problem of corrupt datas.
See
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6-2018/how-to/adoptable-storage-available-pie-update-t3873841
Does someone enough brave already try again to activate this adoptable storage?
Thanks you
yes, I retried it last week (with latest official patch applied).
I migrated > 10GB of data. Afterwards I checked 'DCIM' and 'Download'. All files got totally corrupted (looks like every byte different).
It seems that newly created files were not corrupted. (Was just a fast check with 2-3 pictures)
I migrated back and removed SD card. Files still corrupted. During the last test in ~2019 I figured out that the files some when magically got fixed again some time after migrating back. Hope this happens again this time...
Maybe it also just needs some time after migrating to reencrypt the files for the SD card?
Does anybody know more about the internal processes during and after migration?
Hi, I didn't try the above method, but I used adb commands to format the SD-Card as internal. It basically worked and I am able to run the apps that I migrated to the external card.
HOWEVER:
1. The external card and it's files are completely invisible to any file-system-apps. So I can't see the data.
2. Apps that require some kind of login never keep that login. If you close the app and start it again, you need to login again. This seems to indicated that the apps have been migrated, but are unable to actually use the external space to save new files.
Does anyone think that rooting the device would help?
Cheers,
Calon
my experience with adaptable storage was the same as krisha2k's. all migrated user data I had appeared to become corrupted, and most apps that I moved to the sd card either couldn't save any app data (game saves/logins) or even lost functionality (Snapchat friends list disappeared). some really old and ancient apps that I moved to adoptable storage kept their saves etc (ice cream jump, Neko atsume).
I also found that games with in-app downloads would save their download to the internal storage, as well as external when the app appeared to be stored on the external only.
most apps are broken because of newer android changes that protect external storage write access (and i think read too). I'm not an expert in that though. just speculation
in the end, I just did a factory reset and I've settled with using the sd card as portable storage and storing large files on there (4k video from camera etc).
its a shame because it was a spare 128GB card I had lying around, and I would have liked to have some bigger apps installed, but it doesn't matter too much. but I guess that's just how things are now.
i personally wouldn't recommend doing it. you have potentially everything to loose if you accidentally migrate all your internal data, and what seems to be absolutely nothing to gain.
hi folks,
So i chose the wrong SD card handling (the merged kind?) a while ago and after ejecting the card to set up a bigger one, I realise I now can't access the internal storage on the phone.
installed apps work fine
I can remove apps fine (but not reinstall!)
i can sideload apps fine (oddy!)
I cannot access e.g. photos with gallery apps
file browser apps cant access the internal space at all.
I cannot install anything from the play store, it just shows insuffucient space
apps like twitter crash.
whatsapp works (calls and text), but cant download photos sent, or attach photos.
There is loads of space free (14.65gb used of 32gb internal).
I also have an SD card with loads of space now set as portable storage.
I have the original SD card that was in before, but not in phone (still shows in storage manager).
Any ideas please?! Before i reset the phone and start again!
I have rooted it, but not sure what to fiddle with (the problem started before rooting).
nope? ok i guess i'll be wiping and hoping that fixes it!
moving to another phone for a while...
just to be clear, doing a full reset on the phone while rooted with magisk is ok? (unlocked bl). don't want to brick. android 10 up to date.
thanks, if anyone out there?
alright for the record and anyone else suffering this, i figured it out, and is slightly embarrassingly stupid.
if you set up the sd as combined storage, and still have the sd, put it back in and use the migrate data back to internal option which is hidden in the storage dot top right menu. voila.
then you can eject card, and still access the internal storage.
what you do if you've already wiped the old sd, i've no idea! you're maybe stuffed? hopefully wiping phone would fix it??
don't ever set your sd card as merged, use portable (i knew this, was a mistake).
so anyway, phone working again yay!
This post documents a method of enabling Adoptable Storage with adb commands on sony phones where previously similar solutions seem hard to find. Please link similar methods if they exist somewhere else, I am curious to read.
Personal success on SO-02K (NTT DoCoMo XZ1c ) fw version 47.2.B.5.38 Android Pie, 128G A2 card.
The method results in a fraction of the microSD Card being recognised by the system to be able to transfer apps to, and another fraction where the sd card remains external storage.
The Stock Camera will only be able to save to the mentioned external storage partition after this process, and it will fail to save to internal storage.
Some apps may not work when transferred to the sd card and have to stay in onboard storage.
Premise
I carried out the process with a freshly flashed phone, with a minimal amount of apps present in the system. I cannot guarantee same success with an almost-full phone, although in principle it should be the same. If anyone has success on a more full system please let me and others know.
ADB Debugging should be turned on in developer options and authorization of PC given in advance; root or bl unlock not necessary.
SD Card will be WIPED in the process. For your data's safety do backup everything on your phone, both internal memory and external memory before proceeding! Don't yell at me if in the end it'll have to be restored.
Process
adb shell
sm list-disks this should return two integers such as 179,0
sm partition disk:179,0 mixed xx where the 179,0 should be your result in step 2 and xx be the amount of space reserved for /sdcard ; wait until command finishes. For the mixed xx see Miscellaneous#2 for explanation. Please also reply if you know the command to revert the changes made in this step, because I'd expect it be useful in the future and I don't know what it is.
Turn on force allow apps on external in bottom of developer settings if haven't done so.
Open camera app, click on OK until warnings go away, then set save directory in SD Card. Test if it saves successfully, if not, see Miscellaneous#1.
Reboot, then try moving some apps to your sd card! Some core function apps are not movable; that is to be expected.
Miscellaneous
If your camera won't allow you to open up settings (keeps saying cannot save), then you have run into a problem I have never seen before. If you can go into camera settings but the SD Card option is greyed out, that means either you have not reserved enough space in mixed xx or the command may have gone wrong. Or the card may not be in perfect condition for Adoptable Storage. You can unplug the sd card to see if the camera works fine after that, but I haven't tried that. If anyone knows the corresponding command to revert the changes made in Process#3, please let everyone know!
The mixed xx part allows a part of the sd card to remain.... an sd card. xx% of the space in your card will be recognised as external(portable) storage by your phone, and is readable by a PC. This portion will be the place where your future photos and videos are saved in, as the camera will fail saving to internal space. Thus you may want to use the fastest card you have and set xx based on your use patterns. The other part, the (100-xx) % of space is recognised by the phone as internal storage that it can put apps in, although some apps (especially some games) will still save assets in the phone's on board storage no matter where you move the main app.

Thanks for sharing this but in my experience it does not work. I followed the guide and It looks like it worked, however now I don't understand how to move the apps away from the internal memory to exploit the new storage space provided by the SD "internal" memory... each time I try to move an app I get a "not enough memory" error message although there are about 64Gb free, no matter what app I try moving. I also noticed that deleting an app from the phone and then re-installing the app in the phone will finally install it in the SD but several apps I tried didn't work any more once re-installed in the SD storage.

Hi and Merry Christmas!
I do get system warnings saying the phone is full while it isn't; it seems that Android freaks out a little trying to gather disk usage info when the SD card is merged with internal space. However I can move most non-system-apps.
Did you move the app with the (Press&Hold App Icon)->App Info ->Storage->Change function? I found I didn't include this part in the original writing and might have been a source of confusion. Assuming it was done in App Info, could you tell me what apps don't work, and perhaps I can try on my phone. I also wonder how much storage did you allocate to each of the two partitions on the SD card.
Another potential source of error is the card itself, in some cases, the card may have bad blocks that Android doesn't correct for and cause read problems, as my SD card now begins to show. Sometimes I wake up to see my home screen devoid of apps, and I have to reinsert and restart the phone multiple times before the SD card gets recognized by the phone again.

50% of 128Gb, that is 64Gb each.

it doesn't seem the card, since the remaining 64Gb left for external storage, that is where the camera app is saving photos and videos and some other apps save data, still works fine.
Here it is the screenshot of how Android now sees the storage configuration (android settings > storage) after I performed the procedure described above for configuring adoptable storage (writings are in Italian but I think it should be easy to understand).

mine looks the same. I don't know what to suggest. I'll look around on other forums to see if people have the same problem.
This post is re-written from original post in Chinese which in turn is adapted from a lost post on gfan.com.
It also turns out that googling sm partition would give a lot of information most dated back to android 6.
I've been looking around as well, but was able to find only people reporting failures in enabling odoptable storage on Sony devices. However, one difference between your phone and mine is fw version: mine has 47.2.A.11.228 (no brand) - don't know if this can make any real difference.
By the way, I'm wondering whether it could be possibile to install a rarely-used app in the internal memory, then "park" the app in the SD card's external memory by moving its files, then eventually move it back to internal memory only in the case you need opening that app. If it works, it could be a trick for keeping all the apps you want "freezed" in the phone, by taking the usually unused apps in the external memory, then moving one of them in the internal memory only in the rare circumstance you need using it. Then moving it back to the external memory if you think you won't use it any more for a long period. Obviously one could simply uninstall and reinstall those rarely-used apps on occurrence, but that would take more time, consume data traffic and lose the app existing data, so I think that >IF< this kind of trick could be feasible, I'd go for it.

Striking news in the new year-- my sd doesn't work now. Yesterday I checked everything worked, but now no apps installed on my sd card open. using sm list-volumes shows both internal and portable partitions on the SD are mounted, but the apps still refuse to open.
The card looks like it's corrupted, now the two partitions can't even be recognized with my card reader, I guess I'm screwed.
at my asus max m2 .... working, camera, i can move app to sd card and they still works
butttt the only thing is at settings/storage/ information; it shows numbers that dont are correct and a option "to forget sd card " ?!?!?
well i don't know.....
