[Q] maybe memory problem - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got a Samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 gt-p5110 and in cover say 16 GB but when I go to see memory it show 12 GB. Does anybody know why is this? Should I do something on my tablet?

Perfectly normal.
The built in memory is 16gb and there are many partitions that are used by the ROM itself that are not available to the user.

It's normal,
there's 2 partitioned, one for system ( / directory ), and the other for internal sdcard (/mnt/sdCard)
100% normal just like linux running on pc (system & swap shared the disk usage)

Thank you very much guys

[Q] swapping internal and external sd cards for p3113

So after a ton of searches all I've been able to find is this link for the p3110. Does anyone have something similar for the p3113?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881967
I've found loads of info for other models and devices but this is the closest to the p3113 I can find. I have a 32 GB card ready to go all I need is the info on how/if I can do the swap.

[Q] Samsung galaxy tab 2: Total of 64 gb

Hi,
I wonder if its possible to make Tab 2 with 64 gb. What i thought was if i purchase a tab2 with 32 gb inbuilt memory and inserting a sd card with 32 gb, as a whole it becomes 64 gb. Is it possible ?
Thanks,
SaN

Even if u have tab 2 with 16gb u can insert ext.sd.card upto 64gb... but i vll recommend u 2 not insert ext. memory card more than 16 gb as it vll slow down ur tab...

Yes
Yes, you can you will however get a little bit less than 64gb, since the 32gb that comes on your galaxy tab is a bit less than 32gb (it just works thay way with memory)
TL;DR Yes you can

Tablet doesn't use the SD card even with Link2sd (what's wrong?)

okay. so i have:
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7'' (8gb internal / 32gb microSD external) running Jelly Bean 4.1.1
1-. i rooted it
2-. partition the microSD leaving (1st partition with 28gb FAT32 / 2nd partition with 1gb ext2)
3-. downloaded Link2SD and linked to the ext2 partition
4-. linked almost every app (screenshot)
yet the info in "storage" says i'm storing everything in the internal memory (screenshot).
i linked "Fifa 12" to external SD and started downloading it (aprox 1.2gb) and while it downloads i can see how the free space from the internal storage goes down.
am i doing something wrong?, thanks in advance!
here i add a screenshot showing that partition i made (i did it fine as far as i know)
please...anyone? =(

Naw you didn't do anything wrong. I'm still trying to figure this out myself. I have a 32gb sd card myself and it's rendered useless so far
Try this out. Maybe you will have luck with it

already did =(, no luck.
so we're stucked until someone modifies the Swap SD card mod for jelly bean?
i decided to add some videos and books manually to the SD card to at least do "something" useful with the tablet and now i get an error at the google play store.
i've had this thing for a couple of days and i'm sick of it. i should have go the nexus 7 32gb, only if i knew before...

I couldn't get it to run right ( I mean mount2sd). Kept hiding my apps and doing buggy stuff. Link2sd would at least move some pass over. I mean on 4.2.2. I only use the script above on pre 4.2

Not sure about 3100. Only way is to try. I'm running sungsonic on my 3113 and it works like a charm

Question: how did you partition your SD card? I've been searching around and have had no luck.

Thanks for your solution, but is there a way to edit the file vold.fstab, as for example in Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 or other phones?
EDIT: Your solution isn't work on JB
Use FolderMount.

No app to SD option since rooting

Just wanted to ask if any body knows what's happened to add to SD option. I recently rooted my tab2 and now running 4.3 with slim bean first thing I noticed I had to reformat my SD to fat32 as exfat is no longer recognized.. Then I noticed no app to SD.
This is not a major issue but I did find it handy and would really like to get this back if possible so any help or tips would be appreciated.
Oh andi have tried a few other ROMs as well. None have this option.
Apart from that the ROMs pretty dam good

Hey bud I'm running into the same problem on my tablet I have the sph-p500 version from sprint I'm still running the stock rom cause I guess there's nothing out yet for this version but I've done all the formatting for the extend are and using link2sd not app2sd it still won't let you move apps to ext sd but you can link the folders to free up alittle space I'm new to android and to this site but it seems to me like people on here are alittle weary about talking to junior members it sucks because I could really use there advice in the most recent versions of android the primary sd card is emulated therefore will not alow ext to be primary due to security reasons
Hello mate sorry for the mega late reply I work offshore. I come to think now its just not possible to appto SD but hey never mind my pad has plenty storage its just a shame I cannot utilize the 64gb SD card I have lol never mind I will keep searching for a solve.

Apps 2 sd is only possible if you're running stock firmware jb 4.2.2.
If you want to move apps, use link2sd but you need to make partition in your external sd.
