Hello guys am having an htc hd2 with android 2.2 running currently. But initially i put windows phone 7 on it. I installed the android by just running the android daf file over the windows and its working fine but the problem is that when i check the internal storage my availabe memory is 11mb, this is affecting me because i cant install apps bigger than 11mb. So plz how do i clear the internal phone memory.
Hello all
this is my first android phone.
i managed to move some apps to sd card, but only to the internal.
How can i get them to the external sd card ? the ext. card is a mount point inside the internal one, thats what i found out.
Cheers
Lorien
At this stage it cant be done.
Oh, so is it a specific problem with the LG FW or is it the current Android OS ?

It's a limitation of the Android File System in general, not of froyo, gingerbread or ice cream sandwich. This is how the OS works.
What you can do is to go the the phone settings then programs then app manager and there click one by one the apps and choose to move to the SD card. You will notice that you will still have a portion of the app running from the phone memory. This is something that you have to live with for the time being but at least the half of the app should have been moved to the SD so at the end of the day you will gain some space.
Yes thats what i already did, worked great, but i do still have a almost empty ext. sd card. All the apps i moved are still on the internal sd card.
How about using apps2ext ? This is a modified version of the original (pre froyo) apps2sd that uses a "hidden" ext2, 3 or 4 partition on the SD card. I can only find it as part of custom roms. I'm sure it needs root to work too?
Anyone know if that would work?

I think we might have success with that actually. I will give it a try and I will let you know.
Any progress in this matter ? My internal SD Card is already full ! Have to start removing apps to install others.
I think those Android OS limitations are pretty wierd, so the ext. card slot is just for photos,videos on an android phone then ?
I did try to use darktremor on this phone but it won't work on stock firmware. I think that we need to wait for CM7 before we are able to install the whole app on the external SD.

The main problem is not the apps themselves. So Darktremor's A2SD would not help. The problem is, the extra files for large games are automatically downloaded to internal sd memory. Which is limited to 7GB. New games require more than 500 MB's each, so 7 Megs would be enough for many of us, but not enough for some of us.
It is certainly enough for me right now, but you cant see what future brings.
Hi guys,
I'm having this problem now.
Basically, my internal memory is being used by don't know what and I have left around 400mb.
The problem is that I cannot download more 3D games, they require around 500mb each!
I have tried to delete photos, videos and apps that I don't use but even like that it's not enough.
So now, I have a empty SD Card of 16GB and a phone/system that doesn't let me use that free space for "nothing".
BTW I did transfer the internal apps to the SD card, but very little changed.
Does anyone managed to find a solution for it? how can they sell android phones claiming that you can expand the memory of it if you are not able to use that memory for apps?
I already feel sorry for those that have the Evo 3D which apparently comes with 1GB internal memory.
And how can I move the 3D games to the SD card?
i think we have to wait until firmware update .. right now still behide 2.2.2 not even on 2.3 yet .. so i think we could move all app to ext card until 2.3 or higher.. i have try all the app out there .. not even one of them working .. you can move to internal memory but not ext sd card ..
you can also resolve this problem by switching internal and external memory. this works fine for the phone but messes up mass storage mode in windows! so you will find problems mounting your sd-card in windows - so you have to use alternatives for file transfer (ssh, ftp, adb) - means this is pretty much for advanced users only
Hi
Yes i'm a noob but i have searched for some time now but i can't find a "right" answer. To be honest i'm not sure what to type in to search - tried"increase memory", "increase hard disk" ...
I have this phone but it is limited by the number of programs i can install ... keeps saying not enough space
I have moved everything and anything to my SD CARD but still it needs more memory or space or ??
SO does anyone know how to increase the size of space so i can install more programs on my phone
I am using Android 2.3.5 and my SD Card is 32Gb
Apparently my phone blu studio 5.3" phone cannot be upgraded to latest jelly ice cream and sprinkles malarky

Have you tried to root it and see if app 2 sd will work? It will get you more room either search for an app2sd script to run in script manager or use link 2 sd app from the market

Many thanks for your response
If i buy a phone one has 4Gb ROM and the other has 8Gb rom
I presume i buy the bigger 8Gb ROM phone. Is ROM where all the programs are stored?? SO i can install more programs without running into "out of space message"

Well you can always press the thanks button bud
If by rom you mean ram then no this is only the virtual memory
If by rom you mean internal storage or nand than yes it will help
Or just use an ext 4 partition on sd card and one of my previous suggestions to increase you internal memory

3 Things
1. Can someone add an android x86 section because whenever i have a question or something i have no clue where to go
2. How can you add more memory to an android x86 because i have a 250 GB hardd drive and no other operating system except kitkat and i only got 9 apps installed and I'm already out of space and they aren't even big apps, when I was installing it I gave it the most memory i could (2048 MB iif I recall correctly), is there any way of using my availiable hard drive space as like an sd card
3. Since kikat removed the ability to move apps to the sd card how can i do that
