Hi guys
sorry for this really newbie question but when installing new progs on the pocket pc, internal memory is used, correct? When the memory becomes used do the programs get loaded onto storage card? I have a 1 gb sd card.
Can you run programs from storage card? How does it work?
sd cards are slower then internal storage
sd cards have a limited number of writes before they die
when you install from the pc activesync when you can pick the sd card to if you say you dont want to install in the default place
things like today items should not be installed on sd's as it is slow
and gets turned off at times when the pda is "turned off"
sd cards can never act as application ram only storage
because of all the resons state over this

Hi all..i have a T-Mobile MDA,Rom ver.is 1.8.10.2 WWE and extRom Ver.is 1.8.10.104.I have a 1GB Memory Card inserted in my device also.Now the problem is that m getting error messages after every minute that
"Your phone is running low on free storage space.Delete old or unused items to create more space."
What its mean?? m already using 1Gb card and i think this problem is with the phone internal memory.I want to fix this problem.And my phone is also working slow sometimes...Plz any suggestions for my both problems...Should i upgrade my Rom Ver.??? Plz advice
an sd card is like a big floppy putting it in dont mean anything apart from you can store data on it
some applications you can reinstall on the sdcard rather then phone storage
but sd cards are slower and some applications warn about being put on the sd
I have a HTC Touch (Elf) with the 1GB memory card.
When I download or install something, even if I tell it to save to memory card, it still seems to go onto the internal memory. I don't quite understand what's going on, but it is of course limiting what I can do as the internal memory is very small.
When selecting install location as 'Storage Card' its as if the shortcut to that is pointing to some location on internal memory, as checking the memory usage shows my internal memory depleting and my storage card not changing.
Unless I move files by cutting and pasting afterwards.
Cheers in advance.

OK to narrow the problem down a bit... when I install something and it gives you the option where to install it i.e. on phone or storage card, whether I pick phone OR storage card it always ends up on the phone.
I cannot install programs to storage card! Which is not good as the phone memory is tiny!
Any ideas please?
So I've been having issues with my apps if I put them on the SD card. if I put them on the SD card they get horrible slow and laggy. Facebook for example can hang for minutes before loading what I clicked giving messages that the app is hanging and if I want to close it.
currently I'm running the Concept firmware , but even with that the Z3 runs out of internal memory very fast. and with some apps (groove) not allowing you to store data on the SD card, it gets a lot worse, making them unusable. After I installed the concept firmware I did reinsert the SD card and chose to format it so it's supposed to be an extension of the internal memory but it also doesn't seem to really work :/
Anyway right now I believe I'm running a sandisk card of some type, probably C10 if I remember right(can't really remove it right now). Is it the type/class of card that makes it work so slow on the phone ? is there some other preferred type and class of SD card that doesn't cause this serious app lag, and is there a way to then set it up so that apps that store large data and don't have a setting for SD card will still store on SD or to unify internal and SD storage as one ?
I believe it's the card. even the class 10 cards are horribly slow for use as system storage. install a sdcard speed test app and test both internal storage vs sdcard read/write speeds. And you will be shocked.
I Use Samsung pro 64gb card. And I was able to use it as system storage on concept rom. It has 90/80 read/write (*rated) speeds. And it works fine on my z3.
I can't seem to find this exact problem anywhere, so forgive me if its been posted somewhere already.
I used MoDaCo's method to enable adoptable storage quite some time ago. I partitioned my
SD card into 2 volumes and kept one as an external SD card and one for the adoptable storage.
Initially, when I would plug my phone into my Windows pc, it would recognize both an internal and external card. Now, it does not. I *think* the change may have happened around the same time I upgraded to nougat.
Currently the phone seems to recognize both partitions - in fact the camera defaults to putting new photos on the external partition. When I go to Settings> Device Maintenance > Storage it lists :
53.5GB / 64 GB for the internal and an "SD Card" with 12.6GB / 23.4 GB.
ES File Explorer lists:
Internal Storage - 19/34 GB
External Storage - 12/23 GB
However, when I plug it into my PC, it shows my device, i double click on my device and it shows 2 hard drives, both with the same size. And if you click on either, you access the exact same files - which are internal files.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this? I would really appreciate the help.
Thanks!
I have attached a couple of screenshots from the PC and the phone in case it helps clear up my less than clear explanation. Thanks again.
Since it looks like this is some odd twist of fate that has bitten me in the ass - I have a followup question. If I turn off my phone, remove the flash drive, and put it into a PC machine will everything be ok or will I wind up crying myself to sleep at night? In other words, since there are 2 partitions (the encrypted, adoptable storage one and the normal external sd card one), windows should ignore the encrypted and just see the external SD one right? If I do this, windows isn't going to freak at the encryption and jack something up is it? I would rather not have to reinstall all the apps I have on the card.
Thanks again in advance.
I really don't recommend that to anyone, (on every phone available)
it really slows down phone. (this phone has 300/100 read/write)
And if you don't have such sd card don't format it as internal memory,
just as SD card for multi-use.
I tried with 100/40 or something SD card,
and it felt like s...
Yes, I can confirm that! My old Phone had only 16GB of internal memory, so I thought that it would be nice if I format my Class10-SD-Card as internal memory.
But it was a mistake, because it slows down the phone so much...
Also if you have a very fast SD-Card - it will not work and slow down your phone...
I've always been using microSD on my smartphones as an internal memory and have no speed issues.
It is also advisable to move all apps to the internal memory and to use the "external" internal memory only when the internal memory is full.
When the microSD is formatted as internal memory, the transfer rate drops because the microSD is encrypted (AES-128).
However, this is hardly noticeable in practice.
let alone that: The advertised microSD speeds are rarely achieved in practice.
I have more problems with a portable formatted microSD.
There are e.g. Access problems with third-party apps or file managers.
