So here I am again with another problem... That I couldn't find any solution for it.
My moto g has 8gb ROM and a sdcard of 128gb formated as internal storage.
Great, almost all apps are installed on internal memory and so is the cached data, for example downloaded musics from Spotify or Google play music, well I hadn't noticed it until today I couldn't update any app because I have no space left....
I found no settings on either the apps or on the storage menu that allows me to select the SD card as preferred storage... The migrate data option on the settings menu wants to move 17gb from the SD to the internal storage (lol).
So anyone with an idea from what went wrong?
Thanks.
I have the same problem. The storage is completely full now, but there's still enough space left on the SD card! The phone is now complaining about limit storage, but there should be more than enough left!
No apps are installing to SD? A lot of your apps aren't going to install to SD plus all the system apps will install to internal.
To move all data and cache to sd...you need to use Link2SD with root access.
Or you could have a look at this, works pretty well for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/adoptable-external-storage-time-t3340551

Hey, I just got a 16gb Verizon s3 and rooted, unlocked boot loader, installed liquid smooth v2 jellybean rom, and I installed maybe 20 apps I always run with on my phone and then tried side loading swype and flash player but my phone is saying there's not enough memory and I need to clear some space. The intended phone shows the I've used maybe 500mb of my 12gb internal capacity and I went to try to move the downloaded apps to the sdcard to see if that might help, but I don't even see an option in settings>apps to move the apps to the sdcard. Used to be a toggle switch to move to SD or back to phone if you wanted a widget to stay on internal memory.
Anyway, I've been googling and trying to figure this out and I can't. Before I rooted and flashed I had all of these apps on my internal storage with no low memory warnings. Can anyone explain why the entire 12gb internal memory is not available to me for apps? And how do you move apps to sd on the s3? I saw in rom brower that my real sd is actually called sd ext and the folder called sdcard doesnt seem attached to my physical sdcard at all but maybe part of the rom's memory? I don't want to always have to move apps to sdext if its even possible, I want the 12gb available to me, not only 500mb of it, and the option to move to SD would be nice for some games and apps but I also want to be able to keep certain apps on phone's internal memory.
Thanks for any help with this!!
Is the card actually full? AFAIK GS3 is kind of weird -- the internal memory will be partitioned such that you'll see the "user" partition as /sdcard, and everything gets saved here, including apps and nandroids. In Settings -> Storage, if you click the internal "sd", it should bring up a sorted list of what's using the most space.
Personally, I'm trying to figure out if there's a good way to utilize an external sd card.

I tried uploading screens on op on my phone but when clicking choose file to upload nothing happened. On my phone in settings it says I have 11.54 of 12.05gb internal memory available and 17.35 of 29.71gb sdcard memory available.
I'm on this ROM: liquid-jb-v2.0-rc5 .. its 4.1.2
I have always liked liquids ROMs (and spjesters) but I might give cm10 a try later when I'm around WiFi and redownload all my apps and then try side loading again and see if I get same low memory error
Still not sure what the deal is with liquids rom but I switched to paranoid android jb rom and no problems with internal memory so far. I've used over a gb of memory on apps from market and sideloaded and really like the way the settings are laid out in 2 columns. only real problem with I've noticed is that for some reason Swype won't autospace in the stock jb rom so I switched to using opera for now
Nexus S has 1gb of internal memory for apps and other data required. You can also move apps to sd.
My problem is this one: I have only 177mb of internal memory left, and everytime i want to install something from Google Play says it`s not enough memory. I kept the most important apps for me ( ~80-100 apps), most of them moved to sdcard.
What can i do to free up some memory (except deleting other apps) ?
I heard something about creating another partition from sdcard(external-13gb) that phone will consider it`s also internal, but i did not find anything yet on this area.
Do you know anything about this ? Thanks.
hello all, im new with android.
i have xperia j, rooted...so i look at my phone, have 3 storage..phone memory, internal, sd card.
i try swap storage internal<>sd card with edit "vold.fstab" method, and succes.
now i have internal 32gb, sd 2gb...(before internal 2gb, sd 32gb).
the problem i always facing is the phone memory. the storage around 1gb, and almost full, around 100mb left.
sometimes error (storage full) when download apps..(what i can see is, some apps install in phone 1st, then we need manually move to internal (NOT SD), some apps direct install in internal (NOT SD)).
i already move some apps into internal (NOT SD)..some apps i cant move (move to internal function blur).
i uninstall update Chrome, Google Search, Maps, Youtube..(now i have 200mb)(uninstall due rarely use).
so can we expand phone memory?..how i want to move Chrome, Google Search, Maps, Youtube and other "cant move" apps to internal (NOT SD) ...need advise.
Hi,
I'm running an Alcatel One Touch Mini with Jellybean. I have over 1gb of internal storage space not in use and have the option checked for apps to save to the internal storage, however, apps such as whatsapp still seem to save data on my SD card.
Why is this, and how do I rectify it? I prefer the space on my SD card to be saved for music.
Thanks
hey guys ive just bought a nvidia shield k1 running really nicely and got a 32gb sd card as adoptable storage, but i have filled my sd card up with games and ive only used 4 gb of internal storage but i cant install any more games because it says the storage is full, is there a way i can use the internal storage as there is plenty of space there, it seems a little stupid to have all that space and not e able to use it.
Did you try to go to Settings -> Apps -> <your_game> and click on "Move to internal storage"? Some games are installed by default on SD card, because it usually has more free space.

yeah i tried that and it did make a little difference but if the game used 500mb on external when i moved to internal it wouid only like 35mb difference lol very weird but i think its installing the app files to inernal and data to the sd like you could before but now it works with everything
