In Kies, I show Internal Storage and it has the CWM Backup and Titanium Backup folders. Kies also shows external storage which seems the same size as my removable SD card.
On the phone, if I use Astro and browse SD card I see the CWM and Titanium folders under SDCARD.
I am totally confused - what is Kies showing as Internal and what is external and why doesn't it match Astro's SDCARD view?
Because they are different programs, and the phone has a built in internal 16 gigabyte sd card. Also a slot for a removeable sd card up to 32 gigabytes
So are there different device names for the internal and external SD cards? How to I reference each SD?
Internal sd card is one that comes with phone and external sd is when you put micro sdhc. And to refresh you can go into setting and storage and there you can see both internal and external. You can go to my computer and see both there as well.

Hi
I recently got a Kingston 8GB class 4 microSD card and installed it onto my captivate , when i connect to windows i can see both my 16GB internal Storage and my 8 GB microSD card , but none of the file managers seem to show the microSD card .
i tried several apps like SDcard speed tester , QSysteminfo etc they all just show the info about the internal Memory and dont really show any info about the microSD card
in the defualt camera option settings theres an option to select stoage and when i select memory card instead of phone and when i connect to windows i can see the photo being stored in my microSD card
also in the filemanager i see a path called SDCard\SD this seems like a soft like to my microSD card
my question is how do i make all these apps to recognize my microSD and say run a speed test on it.
any help appreciated.
Thanks

Not exactly what you are trying to say in this quote here, but sdcard/sd IS your external sd card.

Yes
/Sdcard is the internal storage (sometimes call internal SDcard or phone storage)
/SDcard/SD is your external SD card ( MicroSD)

Thanks for your response , so how do i run speed tests on this External microSD card all of those apps only recognize the phones internal 16GB memory.
hi,
I have 3 storages on my phone.
1- phone storage 500mb
2- internal SD card- 2gb (this SD card is embedded somewhere)
3-external 2nd SD card 16 gb
my phone is rooted and I am able to move any app from phone storage to internal sd card using link2SD app but I would like to remove all to external SD card. It looks like link2SD doesnt recognize this 2nd SD. so how can I do it? what is the best way?
thanks
In storage settings, there is a "Default location" setting of either internal or SD card. What happens if I set it to SD card? Will all files be moved onto the SD card and use the internal flash as the secondary storage? Or will only NEW files be placed on the SD? I just installed a new 128GB mSD card but like to know how the phone will behave before switching to mSD card as default. I assume the internal storage will always be faster than SD so I may not want everything go into SD.

It doesn't move everything to your SD card only new thing you install.
I have found that with a big SD card the phone takes a while to sort it's self out when you start it up.
Other than that it's no different
Code:
pm get-install-location
Results :
0 - auto
1 - internal
2 - external
Code:
pm set-install-location [I]{0 or 1 or 2}[/I]
For this you must have root
I don't have the option to select the MicroSD, it's already formatted inside the phone but it says I already created a user...
Hi,
I'm on the Concept Marshmallow build 3657.
I chose the option to combine my 64GB SD card so it can be used seamlessly with the internal storage (ie- not as portable).
But when I plug my phone into the PC, I only see the ~12GB of internal storage available. Also in a file explorer on the phone, I only see the 12GB internal storage.
In "Storage & USB" I see the internal storage is almost full, 11.00GB used of 11.57GB. And the SD card is listed there, only 739MB used of 56.7GB. I have some apps installed on it.
But how can I either: move photos, audio etc to the SD card from the internal storage (SD doesn't show up in file explorers). I thought the SD card would act as a seamless extension of internal storage, but that doesn't seem to be happening here.
Any advice on what I can do?
Hi,
I have an SD Card, which I formatted for use as internal storage. Now I'd like to copy some music files to my phone.
I do not want to copy the files to the phone's internal memory. What location should I paste my files through USB so that it actually goes to the external SD Card and not the internal phone memory ?
Bump!
