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.

Freeing up internal memory

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.

Internal memory

Is there any way to get more internal memory on sidekick 4g?

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

Dam that suckz

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.

Internal space question

I really want to get the charge. But with the internal space being only what 2gb. How many apps can u install before u run into problems. I know u can have a 16 gb card. But all apps u can't move to sd. Even if u do some portion is still left on the internal. Well any feedback will help me make the move thanks.

You would have to be insane to fill that much space. I have 150 user apps installed and have 700 megs free. I store all my apps internally. Also, you can get the charge for free on amazonwireless.com

Out of the 1.15gb available for apps, i have used less than half of it with lots of large games. I keep them in internal memory because it is faster than sdhc 2x.

It comes with a 32gb card...

You can send all your apps to sdcard anyways

Link2SD problem

When I link a app in link2sd and try to move app to sdext2 partition ..my internal memory space decreases ..!
For example..my internal memory space was 40 mb free and after linking Facebook official app to ext2 ...the internal space decreased to 37 mb....
why this haPpens as I m moving the whole app to second partition..then why internal space decreases??

Make sure you have linked the dex and lib files too.
After linking apps it takes some time to display how much free memory you actually have.
You can also reboot your phone to see changes.

I have linked all the 3 files...then also my internal space gets low...

Im also having the same problem. Rather than increasing my internal it is in fact decreasing.
