I've just bought a pqi 1gb sd card but can't upload more than 716 mb of data even though settings on my pda tell me I've got 976 mb to play with and there's 257 mb free. When I try and copy using active sync I can't. It tells me there is insufficient room - yet the display shows there is 257mb free. why? Is the card defective?
Have you tried using a card reader? Activesync seems to be problematic when dealing with large files.
Thanks, but I don't have an sd card reader. It seems to read fine if I delete some of the files and replace them again but then it sticks at 715mb. These are mp3 files so not particularly large. Even if i try and add word or excel files it still won't let me beyond 715mb.
Well.. actually my PQI SD 1Gb card is loaded with 875Mb and i have more or less 99Mb free. I used activesync to copy the files on the PDA, so i think that your problem is not on the activesync connection. I have an i-mate PDA2K, and with activesync 3.71 and PQI SD 1Gb card i don't have the problem that you found, maybe your card is defective!
Funny, I've just deleted everything from my 512mb sd card and yet the pda settings are telling me I've got 19.94 mb in use on the card even though I've nothing on that card? I'm wondering if my settings are correct? Can you set an upload limit onm the xda2?
Ignore last post. No probs with my 512 cards. This 1gb card must be defective. Why else can't I upload more than 715mb of mp3s to the card?

i have a question about memory on my phone..
SD card = 7.40GB / 5.38GB free
INternalStorage = 6.4GB / 6.17GB Free?
phone memory = 748MB / 83.7MB free..
how can i utilize the Internal Storage? for contacts perhaps or pics, movies, music, aps?

Use a file explorer like Astro or ES File Explorer to manually place files (pics, movies, music) on the internal memory. Otherwise, plug your phone into a computer and place the files onto the internal memory. Courtesy of HTC, apps save to the "Phone Memory" using 150 mb's of the 748 mb. The main alternate save location for apps is the sd card thus the reason there is a "Move to sd card" option within each app's settings under "Settings/Applications/Manage Applications."

i have done it threw the computer before.. and i have a file manager.. but it only see the one SD card.. the extrnal one..
the computer sees the 2 Different Cards..
but when i try to find the internal SD card threw a file managers on the phone i can not see where it is.. i see it in settings... but when ever i try to use a file manager or ap manager it only gives me the external card to move aps to?
The 6 GB's of internal memory is listed as "emmc" and is inaccessible only if the rom dev says so. I'm not sure you are searching for the proper term, are you able to see "emmc" within your file manager? I took a look at Wildstang's Desired HD thread and his latest version supports emmc (internal memory). If I recall correctly, earlier versions did not have access to internal GB (the 6GB's of space) because the port is from a phone with no internal storage but this is no longer the case. You should be able to move photos, videos, music to emmc especially since you said have access to it via your computer.
1) Are you on his latest update?
2) What specifically are you asking for help with (moving apps or simply accessing that space)?
Edit: For moving apps, the most I know is that you can move apps to sd or back to your phone. In regards to expanding the 150mb partition of your internal memory, I have no experience doing so. Hopefully someone else can provide input on this.

thank you for the explanation..
i beleave i am running the latest version. (V.5) of Wildstang
yeah i was just wondering if there was a way to move contacts and aps to that internal memory so the other phone memory would be less crowded and maybe run smoother.
i dont understand how this memory is being used.. there is an internal SD memory.. that i guess is partitioned.. and the smaller partition is used for all the functions of the phone? what is the larger partition used for then?
so i can drop images and music to that section then from the PC
and put aps on the external SD only..
I believe I misinformed you, the 748mb's of of phone storage is all for apps. Im trying to recall where and why I got 150 mb's from.
748 mb = app storage
6.x gb of internal storage (emmc) = Whatever you want to save (music, videos, photos)
7.4 gb sd card = save music, videos, some apps, photos
Hope that clarifies appropriately.
But to use the internal storage, just copy and paste movie or music files to the emmc (if using file explorer on your phone) or using your computer into either "Mp3" folder or "Video" on the Internal memory. I don't play movies on my phone so I don't have experience with that at all. You'll know which is the internal memory vs. Sd card memory if you just look at the space available to identify one from the other.
Hi, so got my M8 a few days and is my first time with kitkat, which is giving me some problems.
First is where has all my storage space gone, installed some and games and now only have 4gb left on 16gb phone?
A quick at storage settings and it usage shows
Apps 7gb
Other 5gb
Music and phones just a few hundred mb.
So what is this other category?
I have installed NFS most wanted, but i used to be able to store the data files on ext SDcard, same for MC4!
I tried moving NFC to ext sdcard, it moves the app, but it does not move the data?
If use the HTC Make more Space feature it shows apps at taking only 0.9 gb
I know kitkat has screwed up ext sdcard access, but why can't it move data to sdcard when i moves app ok?
The other issue i have with storage on ext sdcard is organising files, i have edited storage setting so everything is stored on ext sdcard.
I am photographer so being able to organise my images into folders is important, but how the hell can this be done with kitkat for files on ext sdcard as now file and photo mangers cannot write to ext sdcard?
If use the HTC Make more space available feature under storage it just moves all photos to one big folder on ext sdcard?
I tried the HTC Sync software on OSX and can create a new album and add photos stored ext sdcard to it, but it just creates the new album on internal memory and not ext scard?
This is so f***Up
There is not even any rime or reason with google apps, snapseed writes edited files to its own folder outside of gallery or dcim folder, and there is no way selecting what folder you want to write to?
I really don't want to root phone as need to be able to use banking apps that won't work with rooted phones.
Aside from having to remove sdcard every time to want to add or organise files on sdcard i am at a loss as to what to do?
really not happy with this new write restriction, even though the intention are good.
Any ideas welcome
thanks
Hi,
I have rooted my phone, applied the revolutions ROM and also ElementalX Kernal.
Everything is working but when I plug the phone into the PC to sync of look at the files. The Internal SD card says 10 gig not 16 gig.
If I look on the phones storage it says 16 gig still.
Is this something I have done wrong. Is this even possible? I havn't done any partitioning. Just followed the guides.
On a side note - the main reason to custom ROM my phone was so I could save full games and apps to the external SD but it appears I still cannot do this. Can someone advise the proper method in which I can save a complete game on the external card, effectively bypassing the google restrictions. apparently doing everything I have done is still not enough. All the apps I have installed to move files across from internal to external still only send the partial file, not the whole. My 16 gig will soon enough be full and my 64 gig SD card is a complete waste. I didn't buy it for videos and pictures but for games and apps...
thanks

The phone will show the total capacity of 16GB but you never get the full 16GB (around 14GB is actually available) Of that remaining storage which is partitioned is the OS and other files which takes it down to about 9 which is what you have for use.
Use folder mount for moving games to the sdcard.

16GB is the total space available. Some of this space is covered up by system, cache, recovery and other partitions. The PC just shows the data partition, which in most cases is something around 10GB in size.

For this you could use Link2SD, as the donate version gives you the possibility to move full apps to SD.
As a prerequisite you would have to format and partion your SD Card first, e.g. using MiniTool Partition Wizard.
Save all Data on your external SD. After this you have to create TWO primary partitions.
The fist hast to be
FAT32, Primary for all your stuff (Musik, Pictures, Downloads, Backups, ....)
EXT2, Primary (otherwise Link2SD can't create a mount point for the linked Apps
Have you done this an instered your card back into your M8, you open up Link2SD. It will on first run ask for root rights and of which kind your link partition is. Simply choose ext2. Link2SD will then search for the correct primary partition on your external SD and mount it. After this you can Link your Apps to the ext2 partition using Link2SD.
I see. I understand regarding the 10gig storage now. Phew I thought I had lost 6 gig through somehow.
I have installed folder mount and paired a game using source and destination and it moved the file across. I went to check my storage and my internal storage states 1.6gig and my external SD states 0bytes.
I believe this is correct as the phone thinks the internal storage is being used so it says 1.6gig however the files are all on the external.
so if this has worked, why do I need to partition as you mentioned? Has the 1.6gig file not actually moved across then as I have not partitioned it?
thanks
Should I be partitioning the External SD card correct. Not touching the internal?
Also I wouldn't have a clue how large the partitions should be. Is there a ball park figure for a 64 gig SD card considering most space I will use for apps and games rather than music/videos.
Thank you
Phew, didn't see that @gsmyth answered as well. Folder mount is of course a solution as well.
I'm using a 64GB external as well and partitioned it to an amount of 54GB (FAT32 for my music and stuff) and 10GB ext2, as an equivalent to my internal storage available for any data.
Hi.
My wife has already in use the Nokia 5.1 for a while. At that time we have also used a 64GB SD card and formatted it as internal memory. Thus, just under 80GB should be available as one drive.
However, the additional memory of the SD card is obviously not used, because although almost 60 GB continue to be free, the mobile phone complains about missing memory if you want to make photos or install apps.
The attempt to format the SD card as external memory brought no improvement, especially as apps like the camera can not access it then.
What do you have to do so that the storage space of the SD card is attached to the internal memory and is used by the mobile phone?
Thanks in advance.
