No.
Unless you have a hand so steady that your room for error is down to the nanometer.

you can move all the bloatware on the phone to an sdcard if you have a big sdcard and your rooted so it clears up memory but to expand it i would say no

I don't know why you'd need that level of precision. I do surface mount soldering by hand all the time, and BGA re-work with hot air or IR at work. It's no longer exclusively the stuff of billion dollar companies. The act of desoldering a chip and soldering another one in its place would probably be the easy part.
Why do you need more internal storage Rockerboy? Get an SDcard.
I do got an sd card 16gb but some appz cant go on sd card nd my internal memory is running out.

...We have over 500MB of internal storage for Apps, how much crap do you have installed? move some stuff that can be moved over to your sdcard there.
Yea

That isn't enough for me and I alrdy moved everything that could be moved.

To do this you need two things.
1) A SOLDERING STATION, not just a soldering iron
2) god-like steady hands. <--- Might as well be a Marine Sniper
As far as I am concerned the memory controller (ala Northbridge.) should be able to recognize and compensate for a increase in memory as if it were a regular ram upgrade on a PC. As long as we aren't talking hundreds of gigs increase it should work fine, no?
This is not feasible for you to do on your own. If you have to ask, you can't do it. WTF do you have installed that takes up 500MB that can't be moved? there's only a handful of apps that can't be moved.
Wow, 500MB full? That seems unlikely if you've moved every app you can to your SD card and cleared your caches.
I haven't tried it on the Sidekick, but if you're running a custom ROM have you looked at using CustomMTD? That would free up some space (I use it on my G1)
CustomMTD is designed for HTC phones that use the MTD filesystem, rather than the RFS or EXT4 partitions used by our phones. That said, with some hacking/modding it would be possible to get something similar working on our phones, but I'm not the person to work on such a project.

I was looking at the phones memory and saw there was an internal sd which said 13g then theres external which i havent put in ten theres phone storage which shows i think about 1g. How can i use the internal 13g also says i can unmount it for safe removel. I dont see anything i can remove. Thanks for any info about this.

The internal SD card is not removable. You can store data on it like your photos and videos or documents, but very few apps will install to it. Until we get Froyo there's no way to move apps to SD cards
It's referring to "ejecting" it from your computer before you stop usb connectivity on your phone.

Thanks for the fast replys. I read somewhere that were getting the 2.2 update. Just dont know when. Thanks again

I've got 2.2
Get the Phoenix Rising ROM.
I've never messed around with flashing ROMs or anything, but Samsung isn't going to release 2.2 any time soon, so I figured it out, and I'm glad I did.
Sorry if that doesn't make any sense, I've been at work all night.

I can't figure out where to put my SD card.......I should figure that out before I think about a2sd....
Really though...apps to SD was a fairly large enhancement to Froyo...why would any Nexus come without an SD slot?

I'd assume my sarcasm wasnt as obvious as I thought.....
App2SD is needed when your "internal" partition of the memory runs full. As the size of the internal partition increased on Nexus S, App2SD is needed less than it was on older phones. If you want to, you still can move applications to the "sd-partition" of the internal memory.
Unfortunately it seems as if the memory inside the Nexus S is soldered to its board. No way to eject it except for the heat gun.
i know it doesn't have a physical sd card but it still has storage so i just figured there was a way to move dalvik to it.
I somehow have only 2.44 gbs of internal memory free and I can't figure out how to free more up. I used my back up pro and did a factory reset and I can't figure out whats eating The memory . I don't have many apps. Any help would be awesome. Thanks

Well you may have plenty of photos and videos in there. Put in the external SD card and go to camera app options. There you should be able to choose where to save the snaps and videos.

Maybe it's leftover files from an HD game(Gameloft) they leave like 500mb or more of files behind when you uninstall them. you have to go in and delete the left over manually.

Apparently Gameloft games are so large in size they actually add weight to the phone. (500mg, joke explainer, etc.)

2.44??? Your lucky, I just checked my ''internal phone storage'' and i only have 1.28 GB
and for my phone memory, total space is 5.44gb, and available space is 4.55gb
but i also have a 32gb micro sd card.
Is it less? Like my g2x has 8 gb internal but really only has 5.5...... Is the sensation the same?
Also does game data store on that 1gb? Like the g2x and vibrant does? thanks
From what I have seen and keep hearing its actually 4 gb with 1.05(ish) available for app installation and whatnot.
yes you get the full 1gb for apps thats the left over space for you its normally 4gb but 3 of it is reserved for the system
I have currently 866MB free memory, while using 310MB for all my current apps. This means you have a total app capacity of 1176MB on your phone's internal storage.
Of course I have a 16GB MicroSD card for my music, pics, video etc.
Hope this helps!

Not on my g2x or vibrant. Always went to the internal. Are you sure some load on the external? and is there a trick?
I got 500 mb left internally and 12 gb externally, when I try and download data thats more than whatss on my internal (500) it tells me to free memory....

yes becuase the g2x and sgs have a built in memory card its like a built in sd card in the phone formated and partionted a special way. But phones like the desire hd and g2 and htc sensation have a diffrent form of storage to store apps and system files. So it detects the apps partion and sd card so it will install the game data to the sd card.
i have 3 big gameloft games..and they all run from the SD.. i have to say the games run so smooth and look stunning especially modern combat 2 and asphalt 6 !
you can even put movies and music on g2x and sgs without a memory card that's mainly how you can tell if it will save the game data to phone. If it doesnt allow you to save media to internal phone then it will save it to sd card. Like the htc sensation

not necessarily...froyo builds and above already have apps to sd built in but only for certain apps that will be allowed to run off sd. if you root and use titanium backup then you could move whatever you like to sd. one downside of this that for apps that has an option for widgets will no longer be available.

This is beyond well known info. Not all games have that option.
Hence why the thread ask about the games that don't.
And can someone answer my question?
Is there bad lag when playing media from the SD?
And yes it takes longer so don't BS.

Guys please let me know honestly if its a pain due to small app space on vibrant 4g...
I'm about to trade my vibrant and pay and pay additional $100 on top of that for a vibrant 4g.... is that a good deal or not forth it?
Because on my vibrant 3g I never get low memory because I have dedicated 2gb of app space...
Thanx

If your rooted and have deleted all the bloatware and done the fota fix you should have about 350mb internal memory for apps. Use link2sd or apps2sd to have movable apps installed on your SD card and you should never have any space issues.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
yeah that happens to me too. if you are rooted you can also clear up your cache via recovery as well as deleting all that bloatware with Titanium back if you dont wanna do it through terminal emulator, which the SGS4g has alot.....
So the only way to move apps to sd is to root?

Vibrant plus 100 is steep man... Think it over. Vibrants still go for about 200-250. Sell that then use the money plus the extra hundred you were about to spend and grab a Sensation or something. I see a lot of new Sensations for about 300-350 on CL.
Good luck.

If you use custom rom or root and delete fota files you will get about 300MB left on your phone. Theres also the option to move some app to 16GB sd card (most will suport this feature, but some don't).
OK guys I tried all the app2sd apps in the market... all of them show 0 movable apps... so please help me out with this: is there a one click root apparently for this phone? And where can I download it... and which files are safe to remove and how do I remove them... I'm new to rooting and u would need to break it down like to an infant... I only plan on removing all the bloatware crap... this phone has way too much of it!
