Hi guys, I'm having a nasty problem which I cannot figure it out.
So, I bought a 16gb class 6 SD card to replace the 4 gb one, but here is the problem.
With the original 4 gb one, with all apps and games installed it shows 140 mb free (internal storage).
If I remove it and replace with the 16gb one, it shows only 105 mb free, even after a fresh wipe and install (therefore no apps and games installed).
What gives???? Can you please tell me what could be the problem? Why my EXTERNAL card is eating my INTERNAL memory? Is this a paradox? It is supposed to be only an external thing, why does it mess up with my internal memory?
Any help is greatly appreciated, its driving me nuts, I wipped, formatted, and reformatted in an endless loop, hoping to solve the problem, still the same result (old one = 140 mb with all apps installed, new one = 105 mb, only the OS, if I start installing apps and games - even if on SD, it still eats up the memory and gives a low memory message).
LE: Solved! One had A2SD+, the other didn't!

I'm trying to install an app (around 5mb) but I get the 'out of space' error. However, the SD/Phone card storage says the my phone has 97mb free.
Has anyone else had this issue? Is there any way to fix this?
I tried installing a different app, same problem.
the SD/Phone Card storage is different to where apps are stored, which is on the internal memory. If your running Froyo or even better a custom rom with A2SD+ then you can move some of the apps to your SD card instead and free up some of that internal memory.
Yeah, I'm on a custom rom pinky
I know I could install to SD, but was just wondering why, with 90mb free, it wasn't letting me install to the phone.
thanks for the help
i have had the out of memory error, found that rebooting frees up some memory
i use a widget called mini info, atm i have 29MB free, reboot the phone and i now have 35MB free i have found that if i reboot after installing programs browsing web and market place i don't see the out of memory error.
Though it could be that you just have to many apps installed *
Hello everyone.
I'm currently using CM 6 on my Desire.
On the phone I have LauncherPro and Weather & Toggle installed and nothing else (beside google apps). All my apps are on the SD card.
Problem: I have 15mb of internal memory!!!
Removing some of the pre-installed apps won't increase the space left. Whenever I install a new app on the SD card, it also uses some of the phone memory!
What should I do? Help would be appreciated

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You could consider going s-off and flashing a custom partition table to gain more space for apps?

That helped. Thanks
Or you could go with starburst ROM and use date2sd I have 2gb internal space on my phone and the rom is super fast and stable
Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 Specs
Memory Card slot microSD, up to 32 GB
Internal 4 GB storage, 768 MB RAM
I only bought my phone recently and have nothing installed on it, so why does my galaxy ace 2 only have Internal 1 gb of storage showing on it
from settings on my phone it shows
usb storage 1.10gb
system storage 0.91gb
1st of all, why do need to create a new thread for this! Post in the Qand A thread if you have any questions!
The available memory is never what it says because the memory is used up by the operating system, most of the bloatware etc! And so the memory available is only around 2gb ( 1gb for system and 1 gb for storage)
Actually when it says 4gb I think it takes the RAM into consideration too, I read a post from someone here in some thread who said it's the internal storage plus system storage plus ram plus smth else...
1.20 Internal Storage
1.10 USB Storage
~0.60 System Storage
~0.80 RAM
~3.70 GB -> Close Enough?
And besides when you buy flash drives you don't even get the "EXACT" space, i.e. an 8GB would have around 7.50GB usable. (The rest is used for cache when transferring files to and from the drive)
That should have been an obvious fact.
ok thx for replys....
this phone is new to me and was just after some answers.....
problem solved :fingers-crossed:
This phone is awesome good purchase man ^^
for me its not a big deal because a have micro sd 32 g (externel)
-camera folder to externel memory
-gl to sd for gaming (big games)
-link 2sd for insalling apps on external
FINALY your problem solved, its really good phone
(solved: I flashed pre root img)
So I got a TW version of Zenfone 2 ZE551ML 2GB version that has 32GB internal storage. When I was installing TOM TOM GPS, it says I don't have sufficient storage space for its 5.4GB map even though I still have 21.80GB (screenshot attached). Is it a bug or there is a limit on how much apps I can store in the internal storage?
It looks like there's something wrong with the app if it thinks there's 1MB free. Did you try reinstalling the app?
Edit: never mind, saw your edit just now I'm stupid.
Ok, need some help here, and trying to google this is driving me nuts.
Have a Kindle Fire HD 8 5th gen (SG98EG) that we got for my wife with internal memory low alerts popping up all the time. It is the 8 gb model that of course reads as 5.6 after format and OS chunk. We bought a 32 gb SD card to handle the lower memory on the device.
What seems to be the issue is that it says it has installed data to the SD card for apps, but instead uses internal memory. For example, just did factory reset and it shows ~4.8 GB free, then downloaded summoners war (the game my kid wants to play and it keeps getting taken off by her mom because of the memory.)
Looking at the data screen for the app, it says overall app size is 1.74GB. It says 22mb of app is on the device, and 1.7GB is on SD. But if I look at the storage screen, it now shows that internal storage is at 2.78 out of 5.6GB and SD has 28.74 out of 28.78GB used. Tested the card with pictures and downloaded files, they go onto the card fine, it is just apps that go wierd. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, have used devices with lower memory for years and never run across a system that says it installed to SD and then put it in internal.
