I am bad at math.. But these numbers don't add up. Anybody want to enlighten me? I'm sure it's my ignorance here, but what's using all that space?

I have the same thing when I check my storage in settings i suppose just how it is but I recommend getting storage analyzer or SD Card Maid from the playstore both are good to have I think they both can give u a more detailed look into your storage on your SD Card
The Only Sensible Way To Live Is Without Rules
look up Sdcard Maid it will clean all the junk out of your storage and fee up loads of space
also when connected to your PC look for a hidden folder called .Trash ( maynot be there i found it when running AOKP and CM ..) delete that and that should freeup some space too
System and app partitions.
~10GB is normal.
Edit: sorry, didn't notice the available.
That reported total available space is odd alright, prob just a glitch.

Also look for LOST.DIR
I think its a repository for files that are corrupt or damaged. Usually not much in here, but once or twice I found several hundred MB of stuff in this folder.
Fixed: thank you all. In mnt/sdcard/. trash
Had over 5GB of old ROMS and backups.
Whew. Thanks.

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.

No that's not it. Thanks though

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.
I have noticed that if I move an app to SD, it's widget either stops working or disappears from the widgets menu.
Is that suppose to happen?
I've noticed that a few of the apps I've downloaded or were looking at do state not to put on SD card if you want the widget to work, so I think so
That's pathetic.
As much as SD storage is flexible, it cripples the phone.

It's always been like that on every android phone I've owned.
It's normal on all android phones.
It's a big problem! Surely it can be fixed by google? Can't they save the widget on internal storage and the rest on the SD?

I feel because accessing information from the SD is slower than the internal, widgets won't be as snappy.
Yeah it sucks. I moved ScoreCenter to the SD card and the widget stopped working. Oh well.
When I say its a big problem, I meant for devices with low internal storage. 1gb on the sensation is more than enough.

This is a limitation of Android. It causes a lot of devs grief when it leads to bad reviews on the market. Sucks, and can't do anything about it.

That's part of android, did you guys download every app in the market? Can you really not afford to keep a few apps in internal storage... You have a gig of space. WTF

SD Card is much slower than NAND..The App will apear much later than you boot your phone..I think NAND space is enough for everyone..So don't move it to SD Card..If you definately install too many apps, you can parition an EXT4 partition..
I'd give my left nut for a gig of internal storage. My Aria has like 150 mb and I manage. How many Widgets you guys use?
Noticed today after bringing up Apps2sd that its saying i dont have an external storage or i have an emulated ext storage even with a 16gb sd card in. computer reads it fine and i would like to move my large apps to it. Any ideas please?
thanks

App does not work since ICS release. Apps must run off internal. There are workarounds but more hassle than they are worth.
Not sure why someone would even need this feature in this day and age. It was only invented to deal with shortage of space before cell phones caught up with the times.

Download a file manager and start deleting what u don't need.

Download File Analyser from the play store and find out which files are hogging up the most space that aren't useful and delete.

Your phone shouldn't slow down "considerably" because of a full sd card... Are you rooted? Do u have anitivirus software? Av softwares are resource hogs and should be used temporarily and uninstalled after scans. If u are using a task killer or RAM manager, you will see adverse affects as well. What apps are running when you hold the home button to view currently running tasks?
If you still do believe it is a result of a full sd card, i like astro file manager. The stock file manager to delete sd contents should suffice though.

Also any games you don't use,uninstall them, that too take alot of space, as.videos take up a ton too.

So yes, as the title suggests, I want to move my default app install location to my MicroSD card. I've seen lots of tutorials on how to move the default install place to the internal SD card, but nothing has said how to move them to the MicroSD. Thanks for your help in advance!

Are you sure you saw tutorials showing how to get info on the "internal" sd card? They normally go there. You sure it wasn't "external", that's the same as the micro sd card.

Actual you can. One way is to go to manage apps then select an app. There you will see a move to sdcard option. The easiest way by far though is to use this handy little app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.droidsail.dsapp2sd&hl=en
You can also use it to set the SDcard as the default save location. Some apps won't play nice if installed to SD though. Meaning they take forever to load and there widgets won't work. Why you would need to do this with a phone that has 2gigs of storage is sorta beyond me. The OP must have a metric crap ton of apps. lol

It is indeed moving them to the internal SD. Nice catch. I honestly never bothered to look at it. Just assumed SD was the external. Well you know what they say about assuming. Thanks for the catch.:laugh:

The best help I can manage is a suggestion to avoid this. There is a good reason it wasn't implemented, more than one. Unless you like your apps to dramatically slow down loading times and disappear on boot, that is.

Yes, I did a bit further research and found a way, but it required making your phone think that the external SD was your internal SD, and I just thought that might be too much. Now that you say that it makes it slower, I'm going to abandon the project entirely. I have enough space on my internal SD to store my apps, and I can live with only storing media on my external. Thanks everyone!

I don't so much have a metric ton of apps, rather a metric ton of spare kernels, nandroids, and rom updates.
