Hi everyone,
My Galaxy Ace Plus is my first Android phone, and since I bought it several months ago I was confused because I found 3 memory locations on my device: the Internal Storage, USB Storage, and the External Memory card that I added.
I can't really understand what the USB Storage is?
In fact I made a factory reset few days ago as the device was freezing a lot, and it asked me whether I want to format the USB storage or not, stating that if I chose to format it I will lose all my music and pictures and other files. So I became more confused because all my media files, ebooks, etc. are placed in the External Memory card! so why it would consume space of both storage locations!!
can anyone explain that please?
Also what will I lose if I formated the USB Storage only? would it improve the device performance anyway?
Thanks!

Internal storage , Usb storage & SD storage
internal storage is the one reserved for system, i.e 1.5 GB on Note, or in another words it is the flash memory of the device. It stores the components of ROM or the ANDROID OS. Applications get installed on this memory.
USB storage is the rest of the original storage on Note (i.e around 9.5 GB). In common language an Internal Memory where all your files are saved by default. This memory is used by most of the applications for storage of their data.
Most of the move2sd apps move apps from internal to SD Storage which means the USB Storage.
external SD Card storage, on the other hand, is the storage which relies on another SD Card put into the phone, e.g....external SD Card.
That's before you put external SD card..
If you put another SD Card in the phone, it will read as external SD Card. In the file system, it is known as external_sd.
Now, the answer to your next question.. Formatting the USB Storage of the phone is simply formatting your internal memory. It has nothing to do with PERFORMANCE. it just makes space available on your device's internal memory. :good:
Thanks a lot!

Hello, my name is david and i'm new in android user i recently buy an android tablet: Asus Memo pad h7 i buyed a sd card of 32 go but i searched to install all internal memory to sd card.
i found the way i want in mount2sd app, but there is a problem now i have the internal memory of 27go (1500 mo fat32 partition and other in ext3 partition).
and my external card is 1500 mo, but where is my 16 go internal memory?, i thinked there is be swapped like my internal memory is 32 mo and external memory 16 go but no....
i searched so i want to have it in my parameter swap the 1500 mo with the 16 go internal memory.
i looked in Diskinfo where is my lost 16 go and it say: Internal Storage (MMC) usrdata mmcblkOp7 12,1 GB not mounted,
Mount point: None,
Partition Name: mmcblkOp7
, Partition Label: usrdata,

i installed the Rom build: SuperDragonPT_v1.1_R2 release-keys it work fine!
so my quéstion is: is there an app or think for mount my mmcblkOp7 partition in the place of the external card of 1,5 go or mount it and make her enabled in parameter stockage in external card storage with my 32 go internal storage?
i looked in lot of forums or in google but don't find who to do that... i tryed to change the vold.fstab folder i see it can swap external and internal storage but the only think it done for me it hidden my external storage make it gray and not mounted... because in my vold.fstab my external storage is like that/ External/Micro Sd and not like Removable/MicroSD auto.

OK, first check that your card is working fine o not.
Then, if you are trying to copy system partition Data to memory card, that is not possible without a root access.. System partition is usually 1.5 or 2 gb primarily used to install apps until it is filled and start using internal sdcard automatically.
Thanks fort reply, yes my sd card is working fine, i used Mount2sd app for extend my internal memory, so its use my sd card as internal memory and the app moves all internal data to my external memory.
But now my real internal memory is unmounted and i want her to be usable again and show in parameter/stockage, and yes i'm root by default with my custom rom, sorry for m'y bad english i'm french.
Thanks for answer

Hello, i have found some tips for the asus mémo pad hd 7, forts for Who have the problem with Google play store no connection problem you mustang delete a entry in host with host éditor: 127.189.51.242 mtalk.google.com i think this entry appear after 3 days (for me it was 3 days after i installed android) and block all Google app connection Google play store, Google +, hangout google drive.
Also when i bought m'y tablette in characteristic they say Max external memory si 32 gb but i tried the 64 gb card of m'y fâcher an dit world fine so ib. bought one think it work because its a class 10.
So i used mount2sd script for use external storage as internal and made 2 partitions one fat 32 50 gb and one 11 gb in ext4 for external storage sd card.
But the 16 gb of the réal internal storage ( Who was in the tablette) was ont mount but with root explorer i Can see it and stock data and i made a shortcut in my tablette but its don't appear when i plug the tablette in computer.
But i think the problem is with asus mémo pad hd 7 because the mount point of external sd is: removable/ micro sd.
But internal storage mount is: mnt/ sdcard and sdcard0 too and in link2sd when i try to move app ni external sd they say i can't because my external storage is mounted as internal storage so in mount2 sd the sd card cannot be swap with internal stockage i think someone Can fix that.i thank superdragon because i looked is thread its the best for the memopad hd7 tablet and i succesfuly flashed my rom and use is v1.1r2 rom and its work fine.
Hello All,
Recently i bought Micromax Unite 2, its a good phone but what problem i am facing is that it comes with internal storage of 4 GB and has external storage and i am using 8GB SD Card.
Under storage it shows free Internal storage of 0.90 GB(free 100 MB), External Storage of 7.47 GB (left 6GB free) and Internal SD card of 1.67 GB (left 1.67 GB free). By default it install apps on Phone/Internal storage and its getting filled and i am left with only 100 MB and it get hanged.
First i want to know what is the difference between Internal SD Card and phone storage??
Can I install all apps on Internal Storage(which is 1.67 GB free) and External Storage?
