The Infuse's internal is partitioned in 2. The first half is seen as full on internal, the second half is considered to be an sd card, an internal sd card. And no, there is no way to format it.

what do you mean format? i mean you can format it by factory resettign the phone through settings but that formats the data partition as well and loses all your data. you may be able to format it in windows but none of this will change the size of anything. you cant change the partition tables, well technically you can but don't you will brick your phone! and sinse 2gb is on a different device all together you cant change that at all either.
you seem a bit confused on how this all works. the 1.77 or 2 gb is phone storage, it is used for apps, contacts, message storage, phone related stuff. the 13.1 or 14 is sd storage built into the phone, the aditional 2 is external sd storage (it's under the sim card, remove the battery to get to it. you can expand it up to 32 +the 14 built into the phone). the numbers below advertiesed are just different ways of measuring gigabytes. the definition of giga is 1billion but in conputing they use powers of 2 tradidionally so killo isn't 1000 it's 1024 mega isn't 1million its 1,048,576. mega and kilo pretty much aloways are interperated that way in computing. giga/tera however sometimes use there literal meanings 1billion/1trillion and sometimes mean 1000/1,000,000 megabytes and might also mean 1024/1,048,576 megabytes which would be 1,073,741,824-bytes for gigabytes, if you look at packaging of new hard drives there is often a disclaimer on the method they are using to advertise the capacity. i dont remember which way windows reads gbs but this is one reason hard drives never report the same space as advertised and why you see 13.1 instead of 14 and part of why you see 1.77 (some of it is used for the /system and other partitions) instead of 2.
And that's why you are one of the best there is DANi...I learn from listening to your thorough answers and explanations...very nice..

hi
hi guys thanks, i just moved from an iPhone so i didn't know that works like that, i got a message saying that i didn't have any room in my phone that's why i was lil confused when i thought the phone had 14 GB int storage. Is there a way to download app's from the market to the sd card ? i mean i know i could move them one by one. but is there a way to download them directly to the sd card ?
Sorry just new to all of this

that's weird. did you install a whole bunch of app? or things like ringtones ect?
1.77gb is alot for a phone and i never filled up the storage. unless it is the market bug where apps above a certain size never download. if that's the case you need to downgrade the market. if the phone did not come with the new market you can go into settings>applications>all and find the market/vending.apk then you can uninstall updates. if you would like to install a custom rom then gtg465x had a fix for this in a custom market .apk with his roms, and entropy and linux bozo have a kernel fix in their gingerbread kernels so the new market will download apps of any size.
if you infact filled the storage then you can move apps to the sd card in settings>applications>downloaded but keep aftermarket launchers and applications with widgets on the phone storage. the reasaon is that the sd card doesnt mount till after the ui starts and apps on the sd card will disapear from the home screen, if the launcher is on the sd card it will default to the touchwiz launcher. you can also do this in bulk with titanium backup.
Hi
hi yeah it tells me i have 1.7 gb free and i get a message from the mark. i try to download i all the angry birds games at the same time and the first one was able to install fine and then i get that message from the market . i had to move that game to the sd before installing the rest i just installed this ROM MIUI - and when i had the stock ROM i never had this problem - i really like this ROM ... i only have like 5 apps installed and i have moved most of them to the SD - Facebook wont move and A.I Type wont move to the SD the rest are on the Sd -
i read some where on the web where i could go in terminal type a code and have all the apps that i download go there directly to the in.. sd card - im not sure if this is possible that's why im asking @
That no space warning is a bug in Market, go to settings>market and uninstall updates.
Things should download then, search Market fix.
Or just reboot...it will fix it also...done it many times

the newwest miui "should" have a kernel end fix. i mean the aosp kernel was developed by linux bozo and he put out a market fix on the hellraiser kernel but i dont keep up with the aosp roms.
if the kernel isn't part of the latest miui you may want to try the cm7 kernel, it is possible that because jordan elliot is having family things going on that are more important that he hasnt updated the kernel since the fix was released.
anyway it doesnt matter where you put the apps the low space message is an error. it has little to do with the space available.
when you have questions like this it helps on occasion to provide the carrier the phone is for(rogers/att), the rom or kernel you may have installed and if it is stock provide the baseband and maybe even what network you are on if it is not the one that the phone was released for. there may be known issues or differences that affect the answer and it is more productive if you can avoid having questions answered with questions or really broad answers.
Hi thanks for your help man like I said im new to this .. i was getting a msg from the market saying that because I think the market has a 30 mb download limited ... everything is working from know.. next time ill try to read more before I post lol ..

[Q] Error "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card" (usual solutions do not work)
Hi
I am using the LC-Power MIRA-1 10" Tablet
The newest version available (4.0.4) is installed, it is pre-rooted.
I did not install ANY custom mods and the system itself is not heavily modified.
It has 8GB internal memory, which is split into two "partitions"
internal memory ~1,25GB (probably / )
internal memory ~5,5GB (/sdcard and /mnt/sdcard)
my actual sd-card ist mounted under /mnt/extsd
I could not find any setting which lets me decide where to install apps.
now, when i try installing certain apps from google play i get the "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD Card" error. Now matter how many times I try. Not all apps are afflicted by this, only some (like "Labyrinth!” von OPENA)
I've googled and searched this forum.
I tried all fixes I could find:
- delete the hidden smdl2tmp1.asec file - file did not exist
- unmount the sd-card prior to installing the app - if I unmount my actual sd-card it will unmount /mnt/extsd and did not help
- deleting all google play data - did not help
- rebooting - did not help
I do know a bit about android and linux but not enought to find the problem by myself. why does this happen? where are the logs (and what are the names) where we could find some answers?
my guess right now is that it probably is a combination between my (i believe) strange partitioning/mounting of the available storage, the app itself and the higher probability of apps not working 100% if they are to be installed on sd-cards.
to be clear, i am not trying to install the app on the sdcard. infact, i dont even know where i could try to determine where the app is going to be installed to. but i have heard multiple times that installing apps on sd-cards can lead to trouble. I am uncertain if that is because real sd-cards may be removed now and then or if it is the mount-point that leads to trouble (/sdcard)
but ill be honest. i dont have a clue and am just guessing here!
any help and hints will be appreciated.

update:
the lc-power support was less than helpfull. short summary:
"can't guarantee all apps work, some do, some dont. probably their fault. cant help and oh btw. soon update to 4.1 so it might be fixed there..."
so of course i am looking forward to 4.1 and hopefull it will fix my problem.
but to be honest, i can not believe so many well known games refuse to install and that this can not be fixed.
anyway, earlier today i also tried to set pm setInstallLocation 1 (from 0), it did not help...

I installed a stock rom the latest one not jelly bean the ICE one. I installed the kernel blameitonsamsung v4. Everything works great except my gallery any suggestions. Thank You
Ok I can't figure this out I unrooted the tablet restored stock and I'm still getting gallery message. I formatted the sd card same error message. "NOT ENOUGH MEMORY DELETE SOME ITEMS" What can I do to fix this my wife uses this for her job and a big part of it is looking at pictures now I can't even access gallery not from the icon are in the camera. I've tried uninstalling, I've tried freezing it, Is there an APK I can use to restore this one. Please let me know I need to get this up and running asap thank you.
You didn't flash CleanRom, did you? It's known for corrupting internal storage. Try going into CWM and reformatting internal storage. (in mounts & storage) You will lose everything on the internal storage, so back up anything you want to keep.
Posted from my Galaxy Tab with CM10
Just rooted my new 3110, successfully .......(or so I thought) . Now I cannot install anything on internal SD. Whenever I try, I get "not enough space" error message - even the 2 apps(only had the tab 3 days)! that were on the sd before I rooted, have mysteriously moved to phone memory. I cant even install FolderMount , which I had already d/l. Forgive a newbie, but having rooted my Galaxy W phone 18 months ago with very few problems, was hoping tab would be as reliable. Anyone help? (as I dont want to unroot just to be able to use internal sd memory.) Thanks in anticipation.

I'm confused, how did you get apps to run on your external SD without root? Didn't know that was possible. Did you try clearing the dalvic cache? Seemed to do the trick when i had issues with lucky patcher causing that same error. I may be way off base though.
Edit: i think I'm confused, sorry, that advice is surely off. Uhm, perhaps reflashing stock and trying again,seeing as how you do not have much data to loose, using the auto root Odin flashable file.

...........Thanks for the help.. Wasnt talking about ExtSdcard, but sdcard0, the internal storage -,sorry for confusion-. Although "Install manager" shows all apps as being installed on "phone" memory, & "external" memory empty, both "Disk Usage" & "Root Explorer" show the same files/size used, in both locations, so I now figure I may have partition problems after rooting (I used this system : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1596) Will try the auto method as per your link if I cant solve the issue (though hoping a quick fix might be possible.!)

Still "not enough space" issues.
Ok. I tried wiping data, flashing back to stock rom, then chainfires auto - root method. All went well - device rooted (again!) fine, BUT I`m STILL having problems with storage. Some apps (especially games) wont install - am getting "not enough space" message, just as before. It seems that all apps that need to be intalled on the devices internal "sd" (such as" FileMount") card just wont.
Please forgive a couple of lame questions, but having never owned a tab before, I`m new to their "vagaries" - Also I have searched here & other online forums for an answer, so forgive my badgering all you "fonts of tekkie wisdom."
. Mine is the 8gb model, & I know a lot of this is taken up by system/ram etc - the "device memory" reports a total of 4.49gb, but TB (& other root apps like sd maid) states : Rom 1.26 gb, internal 4.92GB, sd card 4.82gb (with exactly the same space used in both , i.e. 1.50gb. I also have 32gb micro sd inserted. - Is there an internal partition for the "sdcard0" space , or it there a "physical" internal sd card ? If so how do I format thhis? If not could I have a partition problem? (The reason I ask is that none of the "move to sd" apps I have tried like app2sd, install manager etc work - They state, apps have moved when they clearly havent.
So I think it may be an internal partition problem, (which I presume hasnt been solved by reflashing stock, and re- rooting.) - I did notice that when I was re-rooting by CF auto root, in odin there was partition check box, but CF instructions said "if, & ONLY IF, device is bricked, to check this box. - So how can I , - 1. confirm whats causing the problem?, & 2. -Solve it?
Thanks for any help & advise hopefully, proffered, forthwith.:fingers-crossed:
do a simple thing! factory reset your tab. click format sd ! these issues are solved just by formatting the sd, be it internal! :good::good:

Its a partition, its an emulated SD card. I think the post above me has the right idea.
Also, none of those apps will work. You will need use a sdcard swap script, gl2sd(app), foldermount, or some root app or script that is similar to those.
I think you will need a custom recovery, (like cwm, or twrp) to format the internal "sdcard", i never really used the stock recovery much, but it seems like an option they would leave out. I think there is an oden flashable in developer section. I would find links for you, but i got to get the kids ready. Shouldn't be hard to find.
If you can not format the internal SD using stock recovery, here is a link to the Odin flash able cwm.
PS. I really do not think it is a partition prob., and i wouldn't click the repartition option.

OK Folks - seems I have fixed the problem, by uninstalling all apps (inc "moving" apps) that dont work or are "buggy" , cleaning/wiping caches/data, then I was able to install FolderMount from here, and now all the instability/storage problems gone. (Am so impressed with FolderMount have bought pro, as I am a bit windy when in comes to T.E`s or running scripts! My 32gb is filling fast enough anyway!)

Hey, this is my first post and I'm REALLY new to this. I can talk iOS and Blackberry all night, but Android is a whole new world, so go easy on me! I have had a Tab 2 P3113 for over a year now, and obviously have run into the issue of not having enough storage space. From my understanding, if you root your tablet, and install Titanium Backup you can move your apps to an ext SD. I did all this, and still am unable to move my apps to the ext SD card. I've managed to move the backup folder to the ext card, but no option even when I long press an app I want to move. Am I missing a step? Or am I just screwed and have to deal with this?
