Hi, first of all, I used general mobile discovery before htc desire 816. Like desire 816, it had very low internal storage to keep app datas. However, some developers make it possible to increase internal storage which is just only for apps. They added parts which is for media and music in internal storage of phone to the parts that is for just only for apps. After this, I was able to use all internal storage of phone for app.
Is it possible to do same operations for our phone?
you can set your camera to store all captures on external SD, also save music to Sd card. my personal problem is with viber. it easily accumulates near 2 GBs in a couple months. just the stickers occupy nearly a gigabyte of space
I already set all the options that you said. Although there is nothing in internal storage except apps, it is almost full and I don't know why. Besides, we can't check our phone storage in order to delete or modify. This is negative side of HTC desire 816.

you can use Es explorer whixh is great, and you can also use HTC file manager. they both provide some level of access.

Since getting my incredible I've struggled with how to best use the 8 gigs of internal storage on the phone... especially since many apps still don't recognize/use it.
Currently I only use the internal storage for pictures taken by the phone and manually copied videos (I found mVideoPlayer can be setup to index files within /emmc).
My question is really one of personal preference... how do you use those 8 gigs? What apps have you found that make use of that storage? Have you found any work arounds to trick a program that doesn't support the internal storage to store files there anyhow?
I don't use it for a thing. Lol, I have a 16GB SD card. and three 2GB SD cards haha.
just put some music on it today, mostly that and pictures
5GB of Music/pictures. SDCard is mostly for nandroid backups
I only put custom ringtones and apps on Internal.. Everything else i.e. movies, mp3's, etc go on the 16 Gb SD Card.
For those of you that put music on the internal storage do you use an app to sync the music? Manually copy the music?
I currently use TuneSync because I love the wireless sync, but it only syncs to the sdcard.
How safe is it to use the internal memory for pics? (I know this area is untouched if I wipe and flash a new ROM). But should I be worried about losing my pics?
I don't use my internal storage just so I can see my incredible complain that there is no space left...

I wouldn't be I use my internal storage for videos and my camera pics and have had no problems
I just turned on the phone and it says it's low on space. There is 13GB avaliable of the 14GB memory card. Is the actual phone memory being used up and how do I clear this?
You clear it by uninstalling apps
Best way to avoid this is by using partitioning your sd card and using link2sd- GOOGLE IT and you'll see what it is
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
Your internal memory is getting filled up. Shift majority of your apps to the SD card. Better yet, if you have root, I suggest Link2SD. Xperia Blog wrote up a nice tutorial a while back. (I now have virtually unlimited space XD )
In order to clear which memory is low, check following address:
Settings --> Applications --> Manage applications
the first tab (downloaded), Internal storage is shown. see if there is enough free space on below tab.
on the third tab (On SD card), SD card storage is presented and you can see if it has empty space.
So I'm using converted to GPE 16GB HCT One.
I have 32GB SD card and where possible apps load data to the SD (Google Music, Voice recorder etc.)
If you look at the picture I have 8GB available of internal storage but the graph shows less than 40% free (this does not add up)
Also why apps take internal storage if everything is cached to SD
Last time I had to factory reset because I have run out of storage for some reason and despite removing 3GB i was still low on storage.
Anyone can help?

look for an app called FolderMount in the play store
Thanks bit the app doesn't work for me. I don't have root
Moreover, I don't have any data stored from Google music or voice recorder on internal memory. It's all on the sd card and it still takes up the space of the internal storage.

Try the DiskUsage app from the play store. It will tell you EXACTLY what is stored on your phone and where it is. I use it myself. It's a great app to have.
Here is a link to the app.
none of this works
Again:
1. music and voice recordings are stored on micro sd card (they do not show up on the internal storage)
2. Google music and voice recorder data reports taking internal storage (see first screenshot)
3. using DiskUsage app there is nothing on the internal storage yet the graph shows less than 40% of 12GB avail (that would be around 4-5GB) but I have actually over 60% free which isnt expressed on the graps
So, somehow android is incorrectly reporting available storage, but then even if I remove something the graph still stays at the same level.

graps?
You do realize that the ROM is on internal storage as well, right? Sense based ROMs are around 1.5gb

Did you look at the photos and what I have been saying?
I'm running GPE stock (full convert)
Yes I know that from 16GB storage you get around 12GB usable due to OS installation and formatting.
Look at the graph again. you have 8GB free of 12GB available. The graph shows that only around 40% is available (8/12 is not 40%!!!!). If I cache music onto my micro SD card, for some reason that data is counted towards internal storage.
Hello I have an HTC Desire 816 and I literally have no storage whatsoever to be able to download the apps that I want. The only two apps I have downloaded I'd snapchat and instagram but they have been moved to my SD card so what the hell is taking up all the apps and other part? When I first bought the phone I could install lots of apps and games without having to worry about moving them to an sd. I just don't get it, does anybody have any idea? Also I have recently reset my phone like an hour ago and that didn't work either. My device is 8GB. Other takes up 6.37 and apps takes up 1.22. There is only 355mb left and I don't know what HTC expect me to do with that much?
Have you upgraded it to lollipop? If so you will have storage issues.. If you are still on kitKat, may be your old apps files might have taken all your storage space..ex: whatsapps media files..use HTC makemore space option in the storage settings, which will give you more idea on the consumed space.
Hello,
I have been using for HTC smartphone for some time. I noticed that my storage space is almost full.
I have a Desire 820 with 16GB internal storage. My apps & media files are about 5GB. The maximum storage is used by 'other' (7.26GB). I have no idea what this is and how to free that storage space.
Tried factory reset, but still around 6GB used by 'other'.
Please help me out on this..
