[Q] what does partitioning the extsdcard - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

I partitioned my extsdcard in CWM. I don't know what it does but i just did it cus i liked to play around. Does it increase the internal storage of the phone itself?

Ext is external so it probably wiped your external sdcard unless I'm mistaken

It splits up your external card into multiple partitions for compatibility reasons. It does not increase storage space for either.

/mnt/sdcard/ is internal memory? That doesn't make sense.
Why does that data disappear after removing the sdcard?

You may just be in the the wrong area. Check it again. The phone will always have a sdcard... external is the one that comes and goes.
I always see both.
Why are there two?
The phone cones with 16gb flash memory
A good amount Is allocated to the system/Rom
The rest is for you to use
Since there is about sd card port there has to be a way to differentiate them
Hence (internal)sd and ext(ernal)sd
This is much better than some old phones where it was like this
/sd was sd card and /sd/extsd was external sd card

Issues moving app

I am trying to move apps which can be moved to the SD card but I keep on getting message unable to move the app .
It seems like android only moves app to the internal storage not external storage . Any way to fix this issue ???

Have you tried using Gemini app manager?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Yes , I tried using that app but it moves it to internal storage but not to SD card which shows up as external storage .

It may be an issue with the rom itself. An early version of the rom I'm using did that, but was fixed in an update and using Gemini, I can pretty much move anything to the SD card

I am using CNA , wonder why it won't allow moving apps to the external sd card ..

Sd card

I should have more storage space than I do. Is my sd card being doubled with the sdcard0 thing that happens when flashing ROMs?

I don't think so. you should always wipe the whole system before flashing a new Rom. Also if you have a lot of nandroids stored, that takes away a lot of space. I recommend do a full wipe, format system and then flash your new Rom just to make sure all of the old Rom its gone:good:
Gotcha. Forgot about the nandroid I'd made. That would explain the space issue. Thanks for the response.
Install "disk usage" from the market. It will analyze your storage usage and show you what is using your storage.

Here's a screenshot of what disk usage found. Seems to me like my media was doubled, but I could be wrong. Any idea?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
It's not doubled, you just have +4GB in your music folder and +2GB worth of CWM backups.

Internal Storage Problem???

So i just switched from JediXX to pacman 4.2. And now my internal storage is damn near full. I deleted mostly everything and this is still all i have....
Any ideas how to fix this?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium
No problem sir. It might be because when you back up in recovery the backup goes to internal sdcard. If you have external sdcard move it there.

[Q] SD Card full?!

Hi guys! I've faced this problem with every Rom i have used. I usually have 20+ apps and I usually dont even move them to SD card, but I cant take even photos because my phone says that my SD card is full! I checked applications list today and it said I have like 100mb memory to use! when this problem occured again today I only had Firdfox app (23mt) in my SD card. I dont have much photos in my phone either and I have 16GB class 10 memory card... any ideas how to fix this?

Backup your important data from SD to PC, then format the SD using your device. IDK maybe it help
try using link2sd and set to store on auto. if doesnt work try re-entering gmail account

Im confused right now.... I removed my SD card but my phone says that I have two internal storages? I tried to insert my older SD cards but รค there is still that same second internal storage!

try download clean master from playstore and delete junk files. hope it make some space on your sd card
sorry for my bad English
maybe chache causes your problem . Try no to use apps like Facebook or Twitter, these apps eat lot of space, use friendcaster or tweetcaster or etc .
Clean Master, use it
