[Q] installing new app = out of space ??? still got 10gb free storage - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
As the description says.. anyone know this problem?
Im rooted and on arhd
If i deleete some apps the problem is still here. I can download from market with no problem

This is an issue with /data or /datadata I think...
There are some threads on xda that point to the partition because the wrong size/file system and tells the os it is out of space.
Don't confuse the internal data partition where apps typically install with the space on the internal sd card (where you indicated you have 10GB of space).
The internal sd card of the tf is divided into partitions that determine all the space/permissions and what not.
As an immediate fix, try uninstalling apps you don't use at all and move apps that don't require internal storage to the SD card. This should alleviate for the time being while you narrow down the issue.

[Q] phone internal memory full. How to move apps to sd card ext. partition?

I have partitioned my sd card in ext. format for more space. And have the internal memory full but there is still a lot of space on the sd card ext. Partition for apps. I just want to move the apps from internal memory to this partition so that my apps work fine and i have my internal memory with free space.
The problem might seem easy to solve. Just by deleting or moving apps from internal memory, but for me its complicated because i don't know which apps are stored on the internal memory and the sd card partition for a2sd... In the apps storage all the apps are shown together without showing which is on the sd ext. partition and which on phone's internal memory. i don't know to move the apps from phone memory to sd card partitioned memory. Any help is appreciated

Use app2sd from play store

Either do as suggested above, or download ROM Toolbox and under App Manager, you can move apps to the SD card and set applications as system apps aswell.

I tried them but my prob is i need to delete or move apps from internal memory... And when i delete any app there is more space freed on sd ext not internal memory. I need to know which apps are stored on the internal memory. Which i can't seem to know

Link2SD Strange Problem?

I have made the link to all of my apps on my phone. However, when I make the link they are showing up as erased on the internal memory. So basically my phone thinks the apps are still on my internal storage rather than my second partition of my removable SD card. Maybe this is what was intended, but it means that I cant install any new apps because my phone thinks my memory is full even though it is most certainly not!
Another thing to note: something very strange is happening. My second partition says that only 1.08 gb is used. However, I have 5gb of apps installed on my internal memory. I linked all my files from my internal memory so what is making up this difference?
Hooking up my external SD via usb microSD adapter: (pic1)
Disk 2 is used for my android external SD card:
First partition: (please see pic partition1)
Second Partition: (please see pic partition2)
Has anyone seen somthing like this?
Thanks,
Adam

[Q] Link2SD problems on the Galaxy Note 10.1

I own a Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013, it is rooted but I still use the stock ROM. I've been doing some tests to see if Link2SD would solve my storage problem. During these tests I noticed that all the big games I linked to the 2 partition of my SD card aren't really linked, as they still are inside the internal storage!!! After that I also noticed in the storage info that I have an external SD card, a SD card second partition and a SD card strangely similar in size to my internal storage!!!! (image attached to help undestand) Can someone explain this to me and possibly give me a solution!!!
No Problem with LINK2SD!!!

I'm using LINK2SD and I don't have any problems.
In fact I have close to 370+ apps (user) and except ENCRYPTED apps (~8) all are in EXT SDCARD 2nd partition.
It is TRUE whenever I'm flashing a NEW ROM - I don't see all those 360+ apps because 2nd partition is not mounted yet (because of new flash).
When I click LINK2SD it again re-creates mount scripts and I have all the apps again.
So far so good.
What I'm saying is that whenever I move a big game like Real Racing 3, Link2SD only moves a couple of MB's that are in the internal memory to the SD card's 2 partition, the 1GB of game data stays in the internal SD card!!! My space problem is a result of many games in my note, so I need to move the game data to the SD card!!
I'm a new Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013 owner and need a few pointers on using link2sd. I installed it and understand that since our tablets don't support Apps2Sd natively that we have to move the relevant files to their respective locations onto the 2nd(exFat) partition of the SD card. I understand this however I am not sure how to do it since the tablet can't see this second partition(at least mine can't). If I go to Settings->Storage I can only see my main 16GB internal storage and the 1st(Fat32) partition on the sdcard. No other file managers allow me to see this 2nd partition on the sdcard either. With that in mind, how do I access this 2nd partition to move the linked files to the sdcard?
Dudes, you need to understand, that Link2SD and app2sd DON'T move the big app (game) data from the /mnt/sdcard0/Android folder to your external SD. It only moves the app itself. It was always this case, so I'm wondering about the hype unless you don't have a small app partition.
You have to use Directory Bind or FolderMount for moving big files to external SD. Or simply swap external SD with internal storage.

Help, My phone needs more internal space, can i link internal and external?

Hey, I upgraded to a cheap android but it has very little internal memory, it can barely handle its own updates let alone the apps. I have rooted it and installed link2sd to put almost every app on the sd card, but that doesnt help. I also set the stock install location to the sd card. the data is still stuck on the internal and causing a low space error
Phone is a kyocera milano
problem Not enough internal space(would like to link internal to external?)

Could someone explain why my phone is not utilising its device storage?

As you can see in the attachment, it is very problematic for me, I do not understand why I am not able to use the device storage and why everything that I download goes to internal storage, is my device storage actually just RAM?? It makes installing apps nearly impossible and I keep getting constant reminders that I have low memory

Use Total Commander as file manager. It will give you a better overview
Your apps are stored on the internal storage. Thats only about 1GB. Internal and external SD CARD can not be used to install apps on it. For using SD CARD to store apps use Link2SD. For using Link2SD you will have to spli8t one of your sc cards. Must beformated as followed:
1. partition Fat32
2. partition Ext4
Both partitions must be primary. Use Partition Wizard to prepare your sd card.
