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 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.

Click to expand...

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 just got a new revo yesterday, and while poking around I noticed that the 12 Gb of internal memory is mounted as an sd card, while the actual sd card is mounted as a sub dir called _ExternalSD. Has anyone else noticed this?
Yep, you have 16gb internal and 16gb external
Yeah, but the point is that the internal memory is not being mounted as internal, it's being mounted as an sd card (with the actual sd card being a sub directory). I can see several problems with this, mostly with trying to transfer data. Or if you had a 32 GB card that you wanted to use for whatever instead, unless you can specify where a program stores stuff, it's going to store data on the "SD Card", which in this case is not the removable sd card. I guess if you want to transfer stuff you just have to remember to move it all the the "_ExternalSD" sub directory first, or you are going to plug your card in somewere else and wonder why there's nothing on it...
Not sure about your phone but mine saves to the real sd card. things i want on my internal memory, things i want saved on my sd card go to external sd card.
I know that not all phones have an internal sd card and and external sd card like our Captivates do. All the 'apps2sd' apps seem to move things to the internal sd card, not the external. Is there a way to move them, or some of them to the external sd card, like maybe backups and such? I'm running out of room on my internal 16gb card and looking for ways to free up some space.
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
