As far as I know the number is the user, ie sdcard0 is the primary user, sdcard1,2,3 etc are for secondary users.

so i should have an sdcard1, right?
the size of this internal sdcard0 is 26.8gb. there is the folder "whatsapp" that should been on sdcard0 but there are my private folders (music, backup....), too. it looks like there are the sdcard0 und sdcard1 in one.....i´m confused....
a member in a german board posted this screenshot. he has this sdcard1...

Actually, scrub what I said earlier. Sdcard0 is the internal sdcard, sdcard1 is if you have an external sdcard, which the N5 doesn't.

ok, i understand this, thx. if i do format system or wipe data, for e.g. to install a new rom, will my data on this sdcard0 deleted? sry my dump questions....

No, system wipe erases your current rom, data wipe wipes the user data from internal memory and android secure, but the rest of your sdcard will be untouched.

How to get Camera shots save to SD Card?

I have all my music, files, photos, etc all saved to my external 64gb SD Card from before. Goal is to keep it this way and basically only use phone storage for downloaded apps. I have camera settings set to save camera photo to SD Card and manage storage settings for this as well. I take a Screenshot and it saves on Internal SD Card storage, not external. Am I missing something?

I just took a photo with the camera app and it saves fine on my external sd card. I guess then when you take screenshots it is only possible to save on internal storage?

UsbDisk (for otg cable of course), Sdcard0 (main link to internal storage I suppose ?) and emulated. when I clicked on emulated I got 2 folders
when I clicked on both of them they were both the same. does anyone know what are the differences between the two folders ?

No difference, they all point to the userdata partition.

Don't do that, something might need them and even if it doesn't, they will probably be created again after reboot.
oh right OK.

Can't put stuff on it, won't even let me write to my SD card, which it says has space.
Done hard reset - nothing
Note 4 clone MT6572
Any ideas?

You can try to format the SD card

SD card is fine, but upon further testing I think the phone storage is lying and is only very small
Do you have root? Some Samsung phones (I don't know if it applies to clones too) fill /data partition with log files (many MB every day). You could navigate to /data/log (or similar) and delete all *.log.gz, *.txt.gz
A handy tool to check where is space wasted is Disk Usage
Also note that some EMMC need reboot to update free space records, so phone may report memory is still full until you reboot.
Ok, thanks for the tips. I have root, and will try your suggestions when I get time.
I think so some phones show the phone memory is full because the app installation space is full it differ to media storage rom so plz go to setting and go to app settings and move the most of heavy app to sd card i think so it may help and try it once..............and doing it power off once and then on it

Moving apps to SD

Just to be on the safe side: LG G Flex 2 Stock Android 5.1.1, not rooted

My problem is even though it says that 1.1 GB of the app is on the SD card it really isn't, it's still taking up internal storage. Or have I wrongfully assumed that App (SD Card) means it's on SD Card?
If I move to SD card, then back to internal and then back SD card only around 20 MBs are moved and it says under App (SD Card) 1.12 GB.
Any suggestions?
Also, should the System Data folder be 7 GB in size? Because it's pretty hefty : D
2 solutions either wait for android m where we can use a sdcard as internal storage or root
When you move an app to sdcard always some percent of data stays in internal storage
I think that my phone stock 5.1.1 had 9gb free out of 16gb.
Thanks for the response mate.
Yeah, I know it won't move the whole app, but what makes me wonder is why it says that most of it
is supposedly on SD, but it still takes internal storage (dunno why my earlier upload disappeared).
Is that just some kind of quirk of the Lollipop?

I think it was the same with kitkat also.
You can move apps but not the data files

[Q] Does the s7 support 256GB SD card?

Does it support it since i've only heard that the expandable storage is 128~max no mention of the higher versions:

Basically the system will recognize the card as internal storage but it's disabled in the UI hence using a pc with ADB to enable it. I have mine set up in split mode with 215gb internal and 25gb partitioned external. There are a few quirks about it, never format the external partition as it will take the internal partition with it, don't ask haha . Also the system incorrectly reports total storage not a big deal. A quick search will tell you more. :good:
Samsung was giving away a free 256GB Micro-SD cards when purchasing an S7 as a promotion a few months ago. Mine has been working just fine so far.
Woking fine without any problems.....
