What are the advantages of moving apps to USB storage on the NS? Does it improve the speed?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
There is no advantage unless you're running low on internal storage space.
+1 on wanting someone to explain this. I was under the impression it increased speed, but that there were also drawbacks in terms of the speed of accessing storage or something.
Hi sir's good day, I cannot play hd games on my phone. It says i need X ammount of space to play the game, what does it mean by that space for phone or space for sd card? Thank yoy

Well how much space do you have available on phone and SD?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Well i think there are 2 possibilities :
1. The game needs a certain amount of RAM and the phone has it all blocked with something else.
2. The game needs a certain space on the internal memory in order to run.
I don't thinks it's an issue with the SD card.
You can try again after cleaning some internal space, or after closing some apps in order to free more RAM.
What ROM are you using? Sense or AOSP?
Thanks
so is it NTFS or FAT32?
if its FAT32 can you switch it to NTFS and still have a stable phone, while keeping all the data?
Can't reformat any drive and still retain data. Why do you want to do that anyway?

i would like NTFS to transfer large files such as HD movies, which i could then play on my HDTV
so is it NTFS or FAT32?
The "sdcard" partition (mmcblk0p36) of your emmc is fat32. System, Data and Cache are ext4.
I don't think we have NTFS support in the kernel.

Nothing is stopping you... I pull movies off my phone all the time...and add them as well. Same with pictures and music

NTFS is for Windows... not sure why you would want that garbage on a Linux OS. And no, you cannot just switch it from FAT32 to NTFS without formatting the drive. You have to back up all of the data and then format... assuming NTFS would even work on Android.

but not larger than 4GB. That is what the OP means by "transfer large files such as HD movies".

Weather It's 5 MB or 5 GB you can still transfer files to and from. Your argument makes no sense

FAT32 has a file size limit of 4 GB.
As for NTFS on Linux, the only implementation I've heard of is the FUSE-based NTFS-3G. It's not very fast compared to in-kernel filesystems, and NTFS has a lot of bookkeeping overhead that make it not particularly suited to flash. What's more, the user-space storage in the One S simply isn't big enough for NTFS to really be worthwhile.

thats what i mean
so
The Sensation has 4gB memory, with 1gB "user accessible". The 3gB is used for the OS, cache and more.
I would not be bothered by this. Put a 32gB or 64gB card in and be happy.
I will be getting the Sandisk 64gB class 10 micro SDXC card for mine, but I will confirm it works in the Sensation first.

ok yes but But this is not a solution
look into the photos
my device is being slow down
When I start to transfer applications to SD
The question of why we can not increase the size of the internal memory???
For example 2GB for OS and 2GB for user
Thank you very much
Do you require heaps and heaps of apps or big games? Do you need more space for apps than you can fit on the internal memory?
I have loaded plenty of apps and haven't ran out of space yet. I don't know how much space I have left because I am running Revelation ROM and it doesn't yet say how much space is available.
What is your SD card inc. class? If its a slow card your apps will of course load slowly.

Hi,
Do a memory card benchmark to find out how much your read/write speed is, that's almost the class of your sd card... If you have the stock sd, it is class 6 if I'm not wrong.

Not only one, for example antutu benchmark does, or androbench maybe. The second one is more specialized into sd cards, but I don't have a good memory of the results it used to tell me, you know they were out of it somewhat... But they probably answered in that way to ME ONLY, don't know actually. don't even know why.

Androbench apparently is giving strange scores like mine then... Apparently you have a class 4 sd card (so do i) ... Then in my opinion it is not good at all... Buy a class 10 for example.

probably yes
i changed mine also to class 10 sdcard and i saw big difference
Hmmm OK so my suspicion may be on the money. I will run these tests on my Sensation with my Sandisk 32gB class 10 and post for you.

ok iam wating
thx:victory:
Ok so it turns out that both of my cards, a Sandisk 16gB and 32gB, are class 4, not class 10 as I first thought. So we need some class 10 max speeds. However my results are still useful to compare with to see if your Sensation is reading and writing to your class 4 as quick as mine.
I ran 20 AnTuTu benchmarks and saw that the results varied significantly, presumably due to other apps taking CPU time or SD i/o. Here is the best result of 4.8/18.0.
Sandisk 16gB class 4;
4.5/17.8
3.6/14.6
4.3/15.2
4.5/17.4
4.8/18.0

3.3/13.8
3.0/17.5
2.7/15.5

4.8/17.0
3.1/13.3
2.8/16.7
Best write: 4.8
Best read: 17.5
Average: 3.56/15.19
Both cards were approximately 3/4 full.
If you boot fresh, let your Sensation sit for a few minutes, load AnTuTu and run 5-10 SD card benchmarks on a class 4 card, you should expect to hit 17 or 18MB/s read speed. It's the law of large numbers; we need to run many tests to get meaningful numbers.
How these numbers actually translate in practice of loading apps, I don't know.
I haven't needed to install any apps to a card yet.

Well, you said that the results varied significantly and has developed major outcome of your memory cards .....
My memory card results always fixed and not varying, this means stability in performance
And frankly I'm not confident in software testing because the results often can not be fixed
But as a result of constant memory card
Thank you for your efforts
Well
When the application was transferred to the memory card device started slow but when readied transfer applications to the internal memory has returned the device to speed
......
I have other intervention
How can I transfer a single file size 5GB
Memory card to FAT32
?????
Love my Nexus 7 but it just can't keep up with the storage demands of modern games. OTG option is bulky, doesn't allow for simultaneous charging and game compatibility is hit or miss.
I'm looking for something that plays nice with the latest stable CyanogenMod, has built-in SD card slot for extra storage and has similar performance to my Nexus 7. HDMI out would also be a bonus.
Does anyone know of anything - hopefully it won't break the bank?
