the Xperia SP is almost having its month on my hands. As we all know, lollipop consumes a lot of internal storage, so is there a way to increase internal storage? like install apps on the sdcard? please teach me masters
Go to settings, apps, menu, preferred install location, select removable SD card.
Your apps will install on ext. SD card (if possible). You have to move Already installed apps yourself.
you can do a sd card partition i think and then make some space of the sd card look like internal storage ...e.x: if you have internal storage like 5g and you have a sd card 4g ...you did a partition to the sd card and made 1g for the internal storage >your phone now will show you a 6g internal and 3g sd card,,,,,i don't if this will work on lollipop and our phone but you can have a look here

Since all my apps are installed in my memory card and my phone memory is empty, is there a way for me to access it from PC and put in files inside it so that i can make use of the large empty space?
Do you mean phones memory or internal sd card
Your apps are installed on your "phone" memory by default, did you move them to your internal sd card? If you didn't move them check if you have some huge backups in your clockwordmod folder or too much music/videos on your internal sd card ;-)
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!
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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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).
Hi guys, I was wondering if there is a way to swap internal storage with the micro sd card on the Z3C. Cuz I have used an android phone before which had only 8gb of internal storage and it was a jarring experience, I had to move apps to the sd card and always keep an eye on the storage, I didn't like that.
If there isn't a way then please tell me how do you manage your storage with that 16 gb of internal storage.
No, that's a pipe dream.
Only a few devices can do that, and from what I remember the Nook was one of them.
Just move everything to SD card if you're using Lollipop.

Hi,
I have Moto G5S Plus, which has usable storage as internal 45.34GB & SD Card 117GB.
I want to know as for SD Card formatting there are two options.
1. Format as internal
2. Format (it keeps as External)
Question:-
1. what is difference between them?
2. Which is Better option?
3. Pros & cons?
Thanks,
Always external, sd card is not robust enough to handle the read/write traffic as internal for a long time.
Never do it as internal if you don't want to experience corrupt data in the future, it is a ticking time bomb. Its only advantage is installing app in your sd card.
Yeah generally external, or portable is best option. Really almost never a need to go internal these days.
