[Q] Moto X(2013) internal storage issue - Moto X Q&A

Hey everyone,
I'm using moto x(2013) 16GB Indian version that has no sd card slot. It comes with 11gb of internal storage. Lately, it has started showing low storage notification; but when i checked thoroughly.. i found out that i've used only 7gb out of that 11gb. Please can some explain to me how this works.. how can i access full 11gb.

It's not that 7GB out of 11GB.
You would have installed many apps and the system space ( 3.5GB ) might be low.. apps like Facebook will occupy large space with time...

[Q] internal memory card fault. installed apps vanished

hi all,
hope someone can help me 5 hours wasted over 2 days lol.
my phone(galaxy s) decided yesterday that the internal memory card would no longer show any of the installed apllications in the apps grid menu.
yet when i look at how much memory has been used, the card shows up with the used memory and available memory in the sd card settings, but i cant format the card.
also the external memory card works perfectly, 3rd party market apps also know what apps are installed on the internal memory card that need updates and will update them lol.
all this happened after intalling an app called appplanet.
what have i done or has my internal memory card given up the ghost????
not even got the official market now, as anything installed on internal is not working.

[Q] Phone memory, system memory, and what did I do?

I've suddenly become confused.
I have phone memory. I have system memory.
I have 643 mb available of system memory
I have 23.91 mb available phone memory.
Here's where I'm getting confused. As I'm trying to free up the phone memory and moving apps to SD or using TB to delete some bloat apps (Gameloft golf that came with the phone, etc) I get less and less available memory on the phone memory. I just moved everything but google tasks to my ext sd card and each time I move something, I get less available space.
Now as I have App2SD open, it shows I have 643 mb free.
Is anyone else having problems moving apps to the external SD? I went and traded in for another thrill and got a new SD card. When I go to move things to the external SD, I'm still sitting at 30+ gigs free and when I move apps they just take up the phones memory.
not sure whats going on here.
I just tried this by using Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>"app">Move to SDCard
It worked just fine for me.
I say do that for all your apps then try
Settings>SD card &phone storage>Format phone memory
make sure to back up
Different thrill and same issues. On the apps2sd app, it shows that it's moved to the SD card. However, when I move them to SD card, it eats up my phone memory.
I have formatted phone memory. I've done everything and googled everything I can think of. Both thrills even though saying it's on SD card keeps eating up phone memory.
On my ext sd card, it's still 29.65 gigs free. I'm down to 1.36 gigs on the phone memory. I've never had this issue. Shouldn't the memory space in external sd card be going down and not my phone memory?
Am I misunderstanding something? Any suggestions or schooling would be appreciated. I'm starting to really like this phone but if this keeps up I'll be running out of room quickly.

[Q] Memory running low

How could I free up some internal memory on my device? There's a lot of crap I can't even find that's using over 90% of my internal sd

Moved some apps to SD Card and Internal Storage still full

Anyone else have an issue when trying to format an SD Card as Internal Storage? I just got a 128GB Samsung EVO Plus UHC 3 Class 10 SD Card for the purpose of extending the small 64 gb storage on the unit. When its formatted as internal it shows as a 256 GB Card with 132 GB Being used. When i go to app mgr and transfer the apps to SD Card i see the relative increase in space being used on my SD Card however my internal storage space stays just as full, which i believe shouldn't be the case. Anyone else have a similar issue, or know any workarounds to this issue? I do not think its device related as my girlfriends Razerphone 2 is acting the same way with the card i got for her. When we format it as removable storage it shows up correctly as a 128 GB but i dont want to be restricted to media only i dont plan on removing this card from the device.
Any assistance is much appreciated!
Thanks!
I have same issue but know not ofa work around or fix.
Even when you move apps to the SD card, the amount of data moved varies, and you'll still have necessary files on the internal storage. So I doubt you'll ever fully resolve that.
Regarding the idea in general, it's not a good idea to install apps on to the SD card in the first place. They are not designed to handle the amount of data writing that happens with normal app use and can corrupt the card relatively quickly. It's best to leave apps on the internal storage, and just put independent files (photos, videos, documents, etc) on the card.

Yeah but that isnt quite the issue. I see the gigs of storage space on my SD get used but the space on my internal storage remains exactly the same as it was before i moved as well. I paid extra for the Class 3 card just for better read and write speeds to be usable as internal storage. The 64 gigs on this is too little and id rather not have to redownload apps every time i decide to change a game.
On my previous HTC 10 with Android 8 when i combined my SD as internal it basically combined as a single storage with my internal had just one big storage drive. I didnt have a class 3 card for that one, it definitely slowed things down but was hoping for better results with this faster SD, just now it seems like the feature is broken and not working as intended on this Device model altogether

Move Game data to external SD storage?

Is there a way to move game data to external SD storage?
I do have 11gb free on internal , only I'd like to move some data to my external SD to even out space usage, I am a bit ocd....
& have over 100gb free on external, can it be done? I know loading times would be slower on external I just like the idea of being able to do it.
Thanks ..
