When I use system -> storage I have 1.9 GB for system storage and 11.25 GB for USB storage.

Can some one explain to me more
Sent from my GT-N7000

Partitions for Note should look like this ( more or less ):
System: ~1.97GB
Internal Storage: ~11.07GB
Your whole user-space should be around 12-13GB. The rest is used for partition formatting etc.

There must be something wrong I will show u a pics

Now those pics with sd card 4gb it shows ehn I go to settings then storage USB storage is 11.7 1.32gb available space and sd card 4gb but when I look into disk usege or disk view it just shows 10gb the size of my USB storage and here's more pics with the sd mounted
Is this normal?

It shows 11.07GB as USB Storage. The SD Card is listed separately below.
System partition is not listed there, there is additional 2GB partition apart from what is displayed on the 3rd screen you provided, since you're on stock rom - you won't see it listed - but it's there, taking up the space. It's where Android stores apps that are installed to default location and other stuff.
Everything seems ok.

Question Internal Memory

8 gig of internal memory, is that onboard memory with a sd card spot to put more on, or is that on an sd card of 8gig that you replace with something higher?
Its internal onboard memory, with an extra microsd slot to add more external memory, up to 32gb extra
Some of the internal memory is allocated for application storage around 1.4gb, some are allocated for system - the rest approx 5.5gb is allocated for file and media storage (music, video, picture etc.)
awesome, thank you!

Yes. It is true.
But i get confuse.
1.4gb+5.5gb=6.9gb
Meaning system use nearly 1.1gb..its huge size memory use by system???

I have a question aswell
Is it safe to delete all the content on the Internal SD card?
I know some apps and stuff will stop working that I have installed, but is there any system files etc on there?
I havn't rooted + Romed yet so it's all stock

Possible, the stock ROM from LG has about 650MB packed, iOS is nearly same size AFAIK. I think unpacked it could be about 1Gig.

If you go to SD card & phone storage settings under settings, you can format it after you've unmounted the internal SD card - but you get around 5.51 GB max (that's after formatting) if you don't root to remove the built in apps or are running a custom firmware.
I'd say its safe - just back up your files (photos, music, apps and such).

[Q] Confused About Storage - Can you help?

I may be a bit thick but am a little confused about how the storage is shown on the NOTE
If I look in setting storage it says .......
Total storage 14,28 GB
Available space 10.34 GB
(where is this phone or card?)
Then.....
USB Storage
total 11.07 GB
Available 8.73 GB
(I have nothing in the USB port as far as I know - just a 16G SD card in)
Then.....
System Storage 1.59 GB
(assume this is on the phone itself?)
Also when I link the phone to the computer it only shows .... a phone .... a SD Card and that is all?
While I am on this linking to the computer cant find an option to "Unmount" the phone either on the computer or the phone - feel a bit worried just pulling the plug out? memory sticks like you to unmount them or you may lose data????? Dont want to wipe the phone?
If anyone, more expert than me, can help explain some of there things I would be grateful
Hope there is someone out there that understands storage on the NOTE
Thanks

USB storage is the internal storage space AKA 16gb but 2gb for system storage and 1for OS so you have 11gb. your micro sd should be the 14gb davon 10gb are free. on connect with a PC you should see a N7000 under devices (C:/, D:/) in it should have Card(micro SD) and Phone(internal storage).
just unplug the cable. If something happens then blame Zeus and the Olymp God's. ;-)

Connection to a pc is manual on Note. Unplug usb cable. Menu -> settings -> wireless -> usb. Tap connect with pc (or whatever the only choice is) then plug in usb cable. Next touch connect @ green android and then ok (if it pops up). Disconnect by tapping disconnect under orange android.

So let me get this staight
USB is not Universal Serial Bus -- but internal memory?
Then from the USB comes the 2G for the system and 1G for android?
So where has the 16G Micro-SD memory card on this list (paid good money for that!!! ) - can see it if I link the phone to computer but not on this list?
Is that what it calls total storage or does it TOTAL everything?
Thought android was easier than Microsoft's rubbish operating systems ??

Yes USB is your internal flash storage that comes with the Note, 2GB from them assigned to apps only, some for system files and the rest is for you..
The SD card I believe is what is showing as 14GB under total storage, and total here refers to total external sd card only not every storage you have
Total storage 14,28 GB
Available space 10.34 GB
This is the external microSD card you put in. If you use Myfiles you see this in external_SD folder.
USB Storage
total 11.07 GB
Available 8.73 GB
This is part of the 16GB storage comes with the phone. Your internal sd card. If you use a program like ES explore you see it in sdcard folder.
System Storage 1.59 GB
This is part of the 16GB storage comes with the phone. Your download apk is in this storage unless you move it to the internal SD using Manage Applications program come with the Notes. Not all program can be move to internal sd card.

Where did my storage go? Can't move or install apps

Where did my storage go Galaxy Note
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am using this ROM on my Galaxy Note. After downloading my normal apps I tried to move them to SD and I get an error message stating "unable to move app. Not enough storage space"
Device memory shows: 1.6GB used
401MB Free
I have a 64GB SD card which has backups and media and the device can see and read and write to the SD Card.
When I look under settings and storage it says:
device memory:
Total space 1.97GB
Applications 1.56GB
Available : 295MB
USB Storage
Total space 11.07GB
Applications 162MB
Pictures, videos 190MB
Audio 9.31 MB
Miscellaneous files: 9.15GB
Available 6.78GB
SD Card
Total space 59.36GB
Available: 54.14
Can someone tell me why I am getting that error about not enough space. I don't understand. Is there a safe mod I can make so that I get more storage. Please assist.
Because app storage is 2GB only it is reserved even you put a 3TB ssd on it, it will not grow. Clean up some apps or search for apps2sd a application that can move SOME apps to the sd.
NOTE some apps will not run if you move to the sd or will run but they will not perform well.

Just figured it out on Friday. The 64GB card was formated FAT32. I had to insert the card and format it using the phone. Thanks
Why not Fat32

[Q]How to fusion internal memory

Hi i wanna now how can i fusion the "sdcard" with "sd-ext" in JB.. I've saw a lot of phones that the intrenal memory is the ROM memory for us and the microSD card is the sdcard partition .. so my finnaly question is how can we do that or make the ROM mem to be 8Gb and the sd card part to be up to 32Gb
i've been back with some explications of what i wanna do with munt points so let's start...
Firs of all i wanna make one partition of system storge and usb storage to one system storage (a normal partition for android phones) equivalent of 1.97+3.92=5.89Gb as internal mem. See partitions in the print screen
Then i wanna make the "SD card", actualy mounted as "extsdcard", the USB storgage in my case
For explaining you i have here a photo from a Vodafone Smart II (Alcatel v860) that has the partition management that i want

As far I know you can only swap places of external and internal memory. You cannot fuse it.
Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36613948
And on that image I do not see any fusion of internal and external memory. It just shows capacity of it. And it is swaped too, internal become external and external become internal.
yes because in that image the internal mem (in our case 8G = 6gb + 2GbROM) it's a single partition and ours is splitted in two the internal and usb storage and in the 2nd picture the sdcard from image is a 2Gb microSD card
Now you understand me

No, you got it wrong. In second image there is 2GB internal memory that is transformed to be external. And extrenal with 32GB is set to be internal. And that is exacly what is done in this link I give to you.
P.S. And our phone is 8GB=4GB storage + 2GB app partition + 2GB for other system needs (ROM, RAM etc...).
P.P.S. Tell me again, what do you want to do? To make internal memory bigger?
i wanna intall a lot of games and apps that has the data folder in internal mem and the data is big like RF2013 or NFSMW or Asphalt 7 and more games and if i have 16 gb microsd card i wanna use it for this, music and movies
so tell me if its a way to reassamble that two partitions or combine the last two
P.S. I said 6Gb because in the earlier post you can see i calculate the sum of that first 2 partitions firs about 2 Bg like you say and econg about 4 Gb again like you said

Short, and clear - use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36613948&postcount=1017
"changed memory" It will make your external SD to act like internal. And all data for stuff you install will go there.

Hi there.
After you make your SD card as adoptable storage, you have to go back to the Storage options and choose Move Data.
This will transfer all possible data from original internal phone storage to the new internal SD card storage.
Also have a good look at this awesome adoptable storage tool which enables you to create 2 partitions on the SD card, one for adoptable internal storage and the other partition for normal SD external storage allowing you as normal to use it to store music, pictures, videos, etc.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/auto-formatting-sdcard-to-internal-t3583875/page23
Alternatively if you are a root user, have a look at this amazing app which will allow you to link nearly all apps to your SD card and therefore free up most of your internal phone storage.
I personally bought the Pro version from Google Play because it is that good!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...rtition-sd-card-link-apps-to-t3122919/page411
Enjoy!

If you have rooted phone you could partition your sd-card to ext4 and fat32(this partition works as normal memory card).
Then you could download app like Apps2sd or link2sd and link(move) apps into the ext4 partition of the sd-card.

Download Apps2sd https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.co.pricealert.apps2sd&hl=en
1. select link apps
2. Create mount script
3. Reboot
4. Link apps to sd card
Also 30GB is probably way more than you would need. Probably 2-10GB would be enough.
ok so it is better to use 10 gb for the ext4 ?
i have some question only one partition will be shown in the settings is it right ? alsow i have some trouble how i formate correc.t i have usen mini partition have made partition with fat32 and one with ext4
but when i look at apps2sd formating tool there will be 3 partitions created. one partition have name SWAP Partition. Do i need this ?
and is this tool : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/auto-formatting-sdcard-to-internal-t3583875/page23
agood way to formate ? or is my way with mini partition manager alsow good ?
and with mini partiton manager i made all partitions as primary is it okay ?
i have used this tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/auto-formatting-sdcard-to-internal-t3583875 then 2 partitions will be shown but not with the correct size ii habe a 64 gb sd card but my smartphone shows 40 gb and 35 gb Oo
