Q: is the new marshmallow update better than lollipop? - Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Greetings,
I have to ask if the new marshmallow update is better than lollipop? After kitkat the mobile had the storage problem from the update, eating up 6.16 GB of space out of 8.00 GB, I dont want to update this software and end up with losing more space than I already have lost, If anyone can give me a review of it I would appreciate it.
Also Is there any official HTC Desire 816 Dual Sim files can be downloaded for marshmallow without going through OTA?
best regards.

Yes Marshmallow is better than Lolipop

Sd Card can be treated as internal storage
Smooth Ui
Battery Drainage problem is less
More Permissions for apps

Hell yes,
Biggest thing is the ability to format a SD card as internal storage. With this ability you can put in a 128GB class 10 SD card and format it as internal. Then you pretty much have like 200Gigs of space. The biggest thing on these phones is the space constriction. Android 5.0 allowed you to move "some" applications, 6.0 pretty much blends your SD storage with internal.
The UI is smoother and more refined.

Formatted SD card as internal storage, moved some apps to SD card, but whenever the apps in SD card gets update, they are moved automatically to internal storage and the app data data is lost. Does anyone face this issue?

There is a problem where in Android OS is using lots of data on internet, leading to loss of data packages in Android OS without any clue.

[Q] Toaster: External Storage Space Left 1.xx MB

When I installed stuff, I get a toaster that says I have 1.xx MB of storage left...... on a brand new 64GB SD card, lol.
Is that because I formatted the card to Fat32 instead of exFat?
Can I just ignore the toaster?
i've been getting that on my note 2 about the internal storage. there's 4GB free and 12GB on the SD card. it's only when i'm updating market apps.
I've been getting the same message. One thing that I've noticed is that within the Managing Apps section of Settings, the category listing of SD Card has about 12 apps listed but when I go to the app details it asks if I want to move to SD. Pretty strange...especially since I haven't installed any apps to the SD.

If the card is 64GB then you need exFAT to address all 64GB. I ran out of app space on my first unit and it started rebooting. I returned and have way more apps intalled on my new one with no issues. Hope this helps.
I get this message too and I have no SD card installed. I can't find any indication anywhere else in the device that any part of my storage is limited to the insanely small amount that is shown in that pop up after installing an app. By all other accounts I have at least half of the storage capacity left on this tablet.

confused about sd card fix? i can move apps to sd card

ok i am confused i have noticed lots of post of people saying they cant move apps to sd card or write to sd card.. i just bought the sm-t700 titanium 8.4 version, and it came with 4.2 android i then upgraded to LP 5.0.2 and i am still able to move apps to sd card, i am running stock rom and am rooted, so i am confused on why most posts or customs roms say they have added the sd card fix?? was it certain models that have moving apps to sd card and others not??? also the build date of mine says may 5 2015....
just asking as i am afraid to put custom rom on it for fear of losing the move apps to sd card....
From my perspective, moving apps to the SD card is not the issue. You can do that with most apps (though some move precious little of their total size to the external storage). The issue is that this is about all you can do with the SD card. You can't use it as a default storage location (for web browser downloads, for example). Basically all you can do is "move" apps to it and copy files manually to and from. I haven't even been able to create a folder on the SD card using my file browser.
It`s third-party app on an non-rooted tablet that cannot write/delete files to the microsd, I think you can on v4.2 and v5.0.2 but not on v4.4.2

format sd card to internal memory

Hello forum,
i´m about to purchase a xiaomi mi a2 lite 64gb 4gb ram and i am concerned that these 64gb of storage wont be enough for me.
i like the idea of Android one and the benefits of it (sleek, needs not much space and so on ... ) and i want to use the stock android.
i already found out that you can format an sd card as internal storage but can anyone of you tell me if you can use this normally with the same speed as the internal storage?
have you made any experiences with an sd card formated as internal storage ?
If yes, which sd card functions properly as an internal storage?
thanks!
High there,
The Samsung 128 Gb works perfectly. noissues with speed so far
Cheers
External SD cards are always worlds slower compared to the internal storage. I really wouldn't suggest to use the card as adoptable storage, better use it as portable storage. Use the internal storage for apps+their data und store pictures, movies, Spotify and such stuff on the external SD.
If your phone breaks, you can't read SD cards formatted as adoptable storage with any other device, because it's encrypted and bound to that unique device.
Pie update solves this issue I think. Just got it today.

Memory and SD-Card Problems

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.
