When you hard reset your diamond, does it remove everything from the phone including the 'internal storage'? Or does the internal storage act like a memory card, and it only removes stuff from 'my device'?
Cheers
It only wipes Device, not Internal Storage. You are exactly right, Internal Storage is like an external memory card.
Hey srry noob question, how do u hard reset the diamond ?
Thx in advance.

I have done searches on this forum and found others asking same question with no answer..
After flashing some ROMS/SBF the most I hve been able to get is 128mb for internal memory and non of the ROMS/SBF that I have tried would allow me to use my sdcard (which came stock with the phone). Most have given me about 48mb of internal storage..
Am I doing something wrong?
Is there a fix for this?
What ROM/SBF do you recommend that has allowed you to have more than 128mb of internal storage for apps?
Er I think somethings not right with your phone I got 80 apps installed and 850meg still free on internal memory.

Glad you got it sorted
hey guys,
Im about to unlock my boot loader, im following the instructions from this thread.
Unlocking Your Bootloader
Words of warning - unlocking your boot loader will wipe your data partition
Things you have put on your internal memory will be fine but all of your apps etc will be gone.
my question is "Where is that internal memory?"
I did a factory reset twice and it erased all my pics, music every thing, weren't they in the internal memory?
Im sorry if its a weird question im confused and I dont want to go into recovery with no rom
thanks XDAs
I stand to be corrected, but the data partition is AKA "internal storage."
The "phone storage" is /sdcard.
So wiping data partition means apps and text messages disappear, but not music or video that would show up if you plugged into pc and used as mass storage

thanks m8
how do I know if my pics and music are in the SD card or internal? I use mass storage to put my files on the phone.
maybe this sounds stupid but how dose the factory reset erase my pics if there in the phone storage (SD)
thanks again

They still always be on sd. As the phone stores all your pics videos etc on the sd partition. The internal 2gb memory is for apps.
I think when you factory reset it gives you an option to tick if you want to wrote your files or something

Simply put, if it shows up on your mass storage, it wont be affected by factory reset

yes,, whenever you connect usb as mass storage... the first partition only will mount... the second ext partition will remain on phone..:good:
Hello !
I have a question for you guys.
I have bought a SD card to my phone. Total space is 7.39gb but although i have moved apps to the SD card there is still available space 7.35gb.
Then the phone can all of a sudden tell me that SD card is full ??
The phones storage is the following:
1.SD CARD
total space 7.39gb
available space 7.35gb
2. USB STORAGE
1.10gb
available space 590mb
3. SYSTEM STORAGE
available space 0.97gb
Is there something i can do ?
I really appreciate the help !
Are u in kitkat ??
Sorry i forgot to mention that my phone uses stock GB...

did u try mount/unmount sd card or a factory reset ??
I have formatted the phone but i have never formatted the internal memory or sd-card, should i maybe
I unmounted the sd-card , turned off the phone, restarted and put the sd-card back but it doesnt help or what should it do
Sorry my stupid questions but this is my first android so please be patient with me thanks
Maybe the problem is from the rom or check if ur sdcard is not protected in write (can be done on pc) if not u can format the phone ,the internal sd card and external sd card and if the problem occurs then u have to change the rom maybe it's time to jelly bean or even kitkat !! and I think u'll not have to upgrade ur rom because I think that formating all ( phone, int.sdcard ,ext.sdcard ) will solve the problem ...
I'm waiting for ur answer or if u decide to upgrade I can helpu then
Thanks for your reply !
How do i check if the sdcard is not protected in write ? I have an 8GB SanDisk Ultra card.
Another problem , i have had problem with moving pictures/videos to the SD-card so there have been pictures/videos in both the default storage and on the SD-card.
Now i managed to move them all to the SD-card with this link http://www.smartmobilephonesolution...res-samsung-android-smartphone-to-memory-card
Then i checked the default storage where i click the Gallery icon and they were still there so i deleted them all. Now they are all gone, also from the SD-card !
Hi all,
I've just rooted and changed the rom of my HOX and to be honest it's amazing how fast it is and the battery seems to last a little bit longer.
Anyway, I am not writing a new thread for that of course. After trying to install several Apps, I've figured out that my internal memory is almost full even if I only have 706mo of apps. I've moved everything I can from the internal memory to the "sd card" and still, it only remains me 1.28gb of free space.
Do you know what's this "Other" folder which is taking me 4.79Gb of space?
Do you know if I can delete some stuffs?
Thanks,
Alex
Hey
Hi,
It shows others which includes space for system partition and kernel and all the system which is stored on your nand memory.
You only get around 2gb for applications
If I helped you hit that thanks button
Thanks for your answer but I know that. I would like to know if I can get clean the space used by the system and the kernel in order to get more free space?

And will be good to learn the search function for your next question all your question is answared on many places just search it:silly:

it's a fictional space that will make you believe you really have 32GB...
its just a dirty trick by htc.
in reality you have 29gb where 2 is the data 25 is the "sd card" and the rest is system.
