Hi..I have 8gb i9000, my problem is, my phone is using 1.85gb as internal memory, and 5.64gb as (internal) sdcard, is there a way to give more memory to sdcard?
btw, I don't have an external sd card.
Thanks.

Hi there,
This is a bit of a noob question.
When I go to system setting I see 3 memory storage.
1. Internal phone storage
2. Internal SD card
3. External SD card
My question is, by default, do apps get installed on internal phone storage?
Cos it's only around 2GB.
Also, when you move apps to SD card by going into setting-applications,
does it move to internal SD card or External SD card??
Many thanks in advance!
My Captivate is running Android 2.2. I have a 2 gig external SD card. On the memory specs, it says the internal SD is 13GB, and the phone memory is 1.34 Gigs. I have the option of installing or moving applications between Phone memory or SD card.
1. Does phone memory mean the 1.34 gigs, or does it refer to the 13GB internal SD card.
2. When you install/move to SD card, which SD card is it referring to, the internal or the external?
They should make this a little clearer.

You app can be move either on your internal or external. I believe the app will move them to the internal by default.
As for your phone memory, I'm sure sure what you're trying to know here
i just kinda was writing about this
normally the apps get installed to the internal storage (the almost 2GB)
all apps2 sd methods install to the external SD
there is no way to install to the internal SD (the 13GB), that i have come across.
but it is really hard to fill up the 2GB internal storage.
for more kinda info see my thread from 10 minutes ago.
Apps2sd - internal sd? why the hell not?
I am indeed a noob that's learning.
So with studying, I see a lot of "External SD Storage" and "Internal Storage".
With the captivate, there's three places of storage. I understand that Ext. SD is my SD card, and Internal SD is the phone's memory... but what is Internal Phone Storage used for?
Also, any tips on manipulating it?
Thanks in advance

The 2gb internal storage is for user apps.

memory is NOT storage space. Memory is ram.
I thought internal SD was for user apps, since that's where all my apps are downloaded to.

No...internal sd is around 13gb and is where your main storage is. (what gets mounted to your PC for file transfer and stuff)
apps are installed in /data/app which is in that 2gb partition.
A way that helps me to understand it is to think that you have a 16 gb drive in your phone. There are two partitions on it - a 3 gb partition that houses all the system stuff (including "internal storage"), and a 13 gb "internal sd" that's yours to do with as you please.
Ok that makes so much more sense. I shouldn't have thought about apps and their data being in an entire package.
so when I'm given the option to move an app from phone to SD, is it referring to the Phone's internal SD?
Nope, move to sd is to your external sdcard.
A bit weird to me, nevertheless I have my answers ^_^
Thank you all for the speedy replies and information (and putting up with my noobness).
