Ok so i have been doing some reading about partitions on the Nexus S .
As it stands there 1gb internal memory and 16gb external sd (built in).
Right now i leave everything on internal memory and move games to external sd.
Now would creating a 1gig EXT partition and moving apps to that be any faster than on the external sd card?
And im assumign the internal memory is the fastet outta the lot?
Help? ^^
Spare yourself the trouble.
Physically it is all the same chip of flash memory, partitioned on a somewhat low level.
The "external" sd you are talking about is already a partition on that one flash chip.

Does the i9000 have a internal sd card or is the internal memory flash memory that is soldered on to the logic board ?
I would like to (if possible) to swap out the internal memory and place a sd card with more space space and faster i/o's. But I guess this would only be possible if the i9000 has a internal sd card that is accessible once the phone has been taken apart.
Thanks in advance

i9000 has both. It has 8GB of internal memory (soldered) + a microSD card slot so you can expand the internal memory.

Read the damn question again and stop sprouting unrelated things.
To answer the actual question, no. It's not actually a SD card.

The above picture is a photo of the 16 GB NAND flash in your phone that serves as the internal SD. So unfortunately you cannot change it.
there are also 16GB soldered internally + microSD slot

The actual memory is either 8gb or 16gb, in which the 16gb is more common
Thanks 3snow & trip007in
It's really now. Just Amazing 16Gb!

I think that's just for the i9003 and not the i9000.
Yes it' my mistake. I try and now my storage is not active.
People DON't TRY.
Hey Guys,
is there any way to apps specially games and there big data files to the real external sd card and not the internal space that is mounted as external sd? I hate the fact that i have a 32 gb sd card but i can not use it for the 2 gb data files of games like need for speed
Hi everyone,
My Galaxy Ace Plus is my first Android phone, and since I bought it several months ago I was confused because I found 3 memory locations on my device: the Internal Storage, USB Storage, and the External Memory card that I added.
I can't really understand what the USB Storage is?
In fact I made a factory reset few days ago as the device was freezing a lot, and it asked me whether I want to format the USB storage or not, stating that if I chose to format it I will lose all my music and pictures and other files. So I became more confused because all my media files, ebooks, etc. are placed in the External Memory card! so why it would consume space of both storage locations!!
can anyone explain that please?
Also what will I lose if I formated the USB Storage only? would it improve the device performance anyway?
Thanks!

Internal storage , Usb storage & SD storage
internal storage is the one reserved for system, i.e 1.5 GB on Note, or in another words it is the flash memory of the device. It stores the components of ROM or the ANDROID OS. Applications get installed on this memory.
USB storage is the rest of the original storage on Note (i.e around 9.5 GB). In common language an Internal Memory where all your files are saved by default. This memory is used by most of the applications for storage of their data.
Most of the move2sd apps move apps from internal to SD Storage which means the USB Storage.
external SD Card storage, on the other hand, is the storage which relies on another SD Card put into the phone, e.g....external SD Card.
That's before you put external SD card..
If you put another SD Card in the phone, it will read as external SD Card. In the file system, it is known as external_sd.
Now, the answer to your next question.. Formatting the USB Storage of the phone is simply formatting your internal memory. It has nothing to do with PERFORMANCE. it just makes space available on your device's internal memory. :good:
Thanks a lot!

Thanks! now I got it :good:
OK, I don't know the proper terminology but hopefully you can follow my description below.
Samsung Galaxy J3 Emerge (SM-J327P Boost Mobile) Phone
Android v6.0.1
Unmodified, unrooted because no one knows how to root this phone.
Phone has (had) 16GB SD Memory card installed. 8GB is "partitioned" as "Fake Internal Memory", 8GB as "USB Storage Memory". I used up the 8GB Fake Internal Memory. I bought a 32GB SD Card (came preformatted as one 32FAT partition with 64K sector clusters!). I unmounted the 16GB SD Card made copy of the contents to the new 32GB SD Card. Installed the new 32GB SD Card into the phone. Turned the phone on and it worked fine. All the apps stored in Fake Internal Memory work as well as the files on the USB Storage Memory. However the Fake Internal Memory was only 8GB, the same size as it was on the 16GB SD Card! The USB Storage Memory had increased from 8GB to 24GB. The whole reason I got the 32GB SD Card was to increase the size of the Fake Internal Memory not the USB Storage Memory.
So my question is: Is there anyway to increase the size (partition?) of the Fake Internal Memory by stealing some from the USB Storage Memory? Remember the phone can't be rooted.
Note: I removed the working 32GB SD Card (tried both mounted and unmounted) from the phone and put in the computer's USB port but the entire SD Card was one 32FAT partition. So the partition programs I have on the computer wouldn't work on it. Apparently the .android_secure file contains the Fake Internal Memory apps and are not stored in it's own partition.

If it's got 2 partitions on it then any decent partitioning tool should be able to recognise and expand/reduce the size of the partitions.
It's irrelevant what files are stored where as the partitioning program is dealing with blocks of memory not files.
Mini partition tool should be able to deal with this or something like paragon partition manager or Easus partition master.
I don't know how to fix it but here is a root guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/guide-painless-root-samsung-j3-emerge-t3573551
I want to keep my files in SD card . Also I want to move apps to SD card at the same time.
I have tried creating 2 partition in SD card using aparted app. Both were in exfat format (means portable). Then I went to settings > storage and formatted one of the partitions as internal storage. But unfortunately both partitions became internal instead of one.
Look inside here:
Make your SD card Semi-adopted. Works great!
EDIT: MARSHMALLOW ONLY I hate the small amount of internal memory, but I don't want to make my ENTIRE SD of 128GB Adopted and unremovable. So I found this post describing how to make your SD only partially Adopted by splitting the partition in...
