Hi everyone so I have the g flex 2 international version 2gb ram and 16gb storage so I was wondering if there is a way to use my sd card for apps.
Everytime i click on move to sd card it doesn't really put the apps on sd card since the internal storage is almost the same
Sorry for my bad English
Wait for android m lol i am not kidding we will have the option to insert an sd card and the os will format it and will encrypt it so we can use it as we use the internal memory.

Hello everyone...
this is my first post on xda since i couldnt find any solution if i'm at fault kindly bear with me
1. i flashed my gt i9003 with miui v10.4 a week ago and everything was going fine
2. but today i suddenly got a notification that my storage was full
3. when i checked i noticed that the apps i installed were on internal sd card which is just 2gb(1.7gb usable)
4. i tried moving some apps which were installed on phone memory only to see them move to internal sd card.
5. i have a 32 gb external sd card which is visible in file explorer and i can browse the files but the apps when moved from phone memory doesnt move to external sd card.
6. kindly help me out with the above issue where i can move the apps i installed on phone memory to external sd card so that i can use it for installing games and not limit its usage to just songs and videos.
7. thank you
As much as i have used miui-gb i think external sd sometimes stay as external_sd folder only...try to format or reflash the rom.
As phone is having 1.85 gb of internal memory why dont u use it until it doesnt get full ???
U can use sd swap which will interchange internal and external sd.

Hi, you can make an ext partition in your external sd card, mount it by apps like link2sd or move2sd and moving application on it.

Hi all,
since i had very low experience with android devices (i use an lg g2 for a few months only), i ended up buying my wife one of this although i knew it had only 4GB of space, i had 16GB SD Card i thought would do the trick... In like 2 days its out of space, /data is only 1GB so the phone is practically unusable! Is there a way to rebuild android on top of the SD Card, or even mounting /data in sd card or maybe extending /data to use Sd card also?
TKS!

try to root, and use link2sd to move app to the SD or you can uninstall app that you cannot use.
my wife has too this phone.
you can root via framaroot, you can search at search panel.
it simple!

A temporary fix would be to go to settings/ storage and set Preferred Install Location to SD Card. After that, go to settings/ apps - SD card tab. There you will find the list of movable apps. Just choose and tap Move to SD card in the App Info screen.
There are two ways to increase your internal memory
1) Use Link2SD Application and then move all apps from Internal storage to SD Card and uninstall unwanted System Apps
2) Partition your SD Card using CWM and make it as a Swap Partition, that would free some of your Internal Memory

I have a Nexus5 and I'm taking the plunge on buying this for my girlfriend for cheap...
The question is, it has 16GB advertised as ROM, but out of that, how much is REALLY user available?
For example, I had a Microtek phone which had 8 GB rom, but it was partitioned into system, internal and phone
system had like 2GB, phone had 5GB available for photo storage and stuff, and 1GB for apps... which was really a hit in the nuts.
Is it the same with this Motorola phone? I read somewhere it says 16GB but only 12 User avaiable
out of those 12, are they all real for app installations?
What I want to avoid is installing two games and having an "insufficient memory" window
please help!
Thanks!!
Anyone?
Can you just go into Storage settings and tell me how much memory does it read for Internal Storage and if there's another partition named Phone Storage? or if Internal Storage is the only partition? (other than the SD card), can you switch between SD card and internal for app installation?

That's what I read on my phone :
Internal storage :
Total space 11,65GB
Available 11.25GB
Apps (app data & media content) 270MB
....
There's no Phone Storage folder.

That depends on your rom. If you're on JB stock, KK rooted or Lollipop, you'll surely have the choice between SD card and Internal Storage.

Perfect answer, thanks man!!!!!! :highfive:
When I check the storage options, it shows System Storage, Memory Card, and External Storage. I have a 16 GB micro SD and I want to move my apps and app data to my SD card but can't figure out the difference between Memory Card and External Storage.
Does anyone know what the two types of storage mean? Which one is my actual SD Card?
Thanks!

I don't have tmobile, but I'm going to answer and any tmobiles out there can correct me if I'm wrong. External is actually your phone's left over internal ram and memory card is your sd card.

I'd wager that System Storage is the /system partition. Memory Card would be internal storage, and External Storage is your removable sdcard.
Also, you should move your apps to your sdcard in Settings > Storage & USB or setup adoptable storage.
