how to maximize your 16gb - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have the 16gb version. and i'm trying to figure out how to maximize the space. i know i can use dropbox or something like it for documents, music, ect. but how do i maximize the space with apps. i have quite a few that i download. and i just want to be able to download them without having lag. i didn't know if there was a app or ne thing. i have a 32gb memory card but unfortiently it doesn't take a memory card (as y'all know lol). thanks! also is dropbox good to use for music (can i still listen to the music if its in dropbox?)

TCPMP/Flash Video Bundle/ Out of memory when saving video

Not sure how this program works but It Seems like when I try to save a video to my Storage Card, it runs out of storage memory when it exceeds the amount of my storage memory.
Anyone else getting this memory message?
Anyone have any ideas on what to do about it?
I've attached the latest .cab that fixes the you tube problems, so you don't have to deal with Rapidshare.
Here is what I think is happening.
When you try to save a video to your Storage Card that is bigger than the amount of Free Storage Memory you have, you get an out of memory message.
I think it loads the entire video to Storage Memory before it puts it on the micro sd Card? Okay I'm just guessing but its an educated guess based on what I see happening.
If someone who knows can enlighten me.
its always been like that when downloading any file from the browser far as I know. Doesn't transfer straight to the card. Same thing with bluetooth transfers I believe.

[Q] Storing media onboard or on sdcard

If having a tablet is anything like owning my Incredible then I'll be flashing new roms a couple of times per month after I root her (Yes she's a she).
So I am trying to determine if I should get a 32gb tab and store all my media on the device or if I should buy the smaller 16gb tab and spring for a large sdcard to store the media.
I am curious how all of you manage/plan to manage this? Do all of you store your media (music, movies, etc...) on sdcards or leave it on the tab and re-sync it whenever you have to wipe your data when flashing a rom.
Is there even a way to partition the onboard memory on the tablet so it doesn't get wiped when flashing?
Hopefully the question makes sense!

I have a 16gb Transformer. I will only be storing applications and live wallpaper on it.
I have a 32gb microsd. I will store movies, music, comics and roms on there.
If I need additional storage, I will use dropbox. It's free and gives you 2 gb of online storage.
There's also unlimited storage with ASUS for 1 year if you purchase a transformer.

SD Card almost full, don't know why!

My sd card has progressively been losing more and more space. I flash ROMs, listen to streamed music via Rhapsody and Amazon MP3 Cloud Drive and back up my data. All of my apps are installed to internal phone memory.
I used to keep zip files on my sd card. I stopped doing that when things got cramped. Now, anything I flash comes off my sd card immediately.
I used to keep several ROM nandroids, now I keep only a couple.
I used to have music stored on my sd card. I just removed all mp3s and now use Amazon's Cloud Drive to stream my own music and stream other music through Rhapsody.
I used to have photos and videos on my sd card. Now I have removed everything and use my phone only as a means to transport the media I capture to Picasa, Facebook and Dropbox.
Despite taking these steps, I'm down to my last 5 GB of space on my sd card. I should have at least 20.
I have perused my sd card looking for *big* folders but cannot find any.
I'm wondering that since I've streamed so much Rhapsody, if there are major caches stored somewhere. I noticed that after I uploaded my music library to the Cloud Drive and played some music for several hours that my sd card went from over 7GB to 5GB. Nothing changed except for streaming music.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?!
when you stream music, the songs are stored in the sd card memory in a format that i cant remember off the top of my head. If you delete them, they will just be redownloaded if you stream again. Other than that idk whats taking up so much space.
Free app called disk usage might help see where the problem is.

Thank you ever so much for that tip. That app found my problem in literally - seconds - after I installed it. My problem was my .trashes folder. There was 18 GB worth of trash in it. Computers were not able to see the contents. Now I have 24 GB on my sd card. THANK YOU!!!!!
Do you use boot manager? I know on mine it takes up alot of space on the sd card.

I know someone else suggested a solution, but here is another one if you use Astro. There is an option in tools that sorts folders and files by size.

available space on 32gb version?

Is 32gb enough storage with whatever available space there's? I play one game but download quite a few apps. Pics I save on Google photos. Let me know how you all are making out with storage.
There is expandable storage with a microsd card, up to 128 gigs. Plenty of deals at this time for less than $30.
I don't remember exactly, but I think there's like 18-20GB of free space plus whatever you add via SD card? I've got ~15GB free and 30GB free on a 64GB SD card, so I'm doing fine for space.
It comes with a few preinstalled apps that are able to be deleted. I had around 21gb available after deleting the preinstalled and installing the apps I used. Roughly 20gb available.
I heard a micro SD can slow down the device? Is this true?
SD cards have slower read and write speeds than onboard device storage so they're better suited for to be used like a SSD+HDD is in a gaming PC. SSD for applications, games and stuff that needs to be fast HDD for mass storage of movies, music, some games, and whatever else.

Choose location of private folder (Internal/SDcard)

Hello,
First of, I have been using MX Player Pro on all my phones since since release. I love the gesture controls, and am annoyed whenever an app forces me to use their inferior built-in video player
I was happy for the built in private folder, removing the need for an extra 3rd party locker app.
However the current implementation of the private folder seems to store all of the data in the internal storage. This is inconvenient, as I am using a Motorola g8 power with a very limited internal 64 GB memory, with an external SD card of 256 GB.
While in theory android allows for using the SD card as internal storage, this option is disabled on most phones because it can make the phone slower.
Similarily, my phone did not allow me to move the data of the app to the SDcard. (Not 100% sure, it might be that this just didn't increase the leftover space in the internal storage).
I would love to have a setting in the menu to store the data of the private on the SD card.
I totally second that. MxPlayer saves in root of Internal Memory in \MxPlayerPro\.private
Since all are videos, encrypted, they will take a lot of space, quickly filling the internal memory.
I have a Note 20 Ultra with 128gb, and my private folder is 60Gb of it
I tried just moving the folder to the SDCard in case that MX player would read it from there, but didnt work.
