SD card install problems - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
Today I tried to install/move an app to my sd card.. I realised my sd card has 9mb of free space. Thus I couldnt move the app.
I thought apps were installed in the sd-ext partition? How can I check what my sdcard and sd-ext's remaining memory are?

U can check storage space in menu>settings>storage.

You can also try my app SD Maid to view your remaining memory and maybe clear some space up.

Maybe not enough space?

Ive given 1.5gb of allocation to sd-ext. I doubt my 18 apps have taken that much?
+1 for the SDmaid app. Handy tool.

If u install Titanium Backup even the free version, there is sd-ext info after start page. So u can see free space. Maybe it try install it into phone memory and that it full ...

Some of the apps will not let you, the developer of the app has to allow it to be moved to SD card. Just curious how many apps do you have installed?

There's an app on the market called APP2SD, from Infolife (there's another one that does the same thing). It will semi-automate the process of porting over any app that can be moved to your SD card.
Keep in mind for some apps, not all of the data is moved to the SD card, only a portion is. Hopefully this should clear up some space.

More storage space on my SD card

Is there an app in the market that I can install that will give me more space on my SD card. Thanks in advance. Happy new year everyone!!!
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
Like erasing old app data and such? Htc has a built it one for that.
But also since Android is basically Linux, it should support compressed filesystem. If the kernel has it, perhaps there is a way to mount the sdcard in a special manner that will allow auto compression. But that is likelly to cause some performance issues...
I do not fully understand the scenario. Could you please provide some more details?

Yes my SD card is out of space I was wondering if there was a app that I could download from Google play that I could put my stuff from my SD card on it for I can free up some space on my SD card. Thanks in advance!!!

do you mean to transfer apps in internal memory?
if yes then you can do it from settings>manage applications(or something like that)
but if you mean to transfer data then use any file manager ,go to settings and check the option for mount internal memory as writable
(personally i am using es file explorer)
I was meaning transfer zip files,apps,etc from my sd card to another app to free up space on my SD card.Does anyone know of a app in the market that I could use to transfer zips,apps,etc to for I can free up some space on my SD card. Thanks

You can transfer your data to your computer to store it and free up space, but as for an application, I'm not aware of one that will free SD card space. Best wishes

Internal storage

I always wanted to increase my internal storage. I googled it but no result found. Really, there is no way to increase it? Sry for my bad English.

Hi,
Internal storage is fixed.
You can get a bigger sd card.
Internal storage is fixed however you can add a bigger SD card. That will allow you to move apps from internal to the SD if you choose, opening up space.

Buy a 64 GB SD card... The Sensation fits more stuff than any other phone I own. I have every possible high end game on my Sensation from the Play Store and still didn't fill it. I wish they built the storage on every phone this way TBH.
