Hello everyone. I decided to post on here because I had no idea where my device would fit. I am using android 6.0 on my phone. When I go to file manager, it shows that I have 6.44GB free of 7.89GB on internal storage. Even apps like disk usage and storage analyser show I have 6.44GB free. However, when I connect to PC(MTP), It only shows 1.55GB. I can't even copy anything onto the internal memory anymore. It always says 'insufficient storage' or something. I tried looking for the vold.fstab, I couldn't find it. My phone is rooted. All I found is fstab.mt6580. I need help. I want to access my internal storage as well. Thanks.

I am having Gionee s5.1 phone with 16GB storage (no SD Card support) running on 4.4.2 Android version. The phone storage divided into 2 sections:
6.25 - This is called Internal Storage. Android version is installed on this with pre installed applications.
9.75 - This is used for media storage and currently no file or images in this storage.
I have uninstall all the unnecessary applications (Pre-installed) from the phone and keep only Cleanmaster, Whatsapp, Facebook Messagner and imo. I have automatic update of apps is off as well as from google play store.
Now the problem is, when I bought this phone it has around 2.3 GB space available and a week back, with above configuration and application, it shows mes only 471 MB space left. I have gone through each and every application manually and removed the cache also used Cleanmaster for the same but no help.
Someone told me to do Factory Reset to resolve this and I do last week. At that time my internal storage back to 2.63 GB free of 6.25 GB allocated and I am happy. Again I configured my phone with above software and disabled the auto update of apps from google apps a week ago. Today, when I go to Settings -> Storage, it shows only 400 MB space left of 6.25 GB. I am not sure what to do and how to deal with this situation. I googled solutions to deal with it like root the phone (King root used) and use Link2SD or App2SD to move the apps but those app said SD partition not mount. I tried minipartition wizard to partition for 9.75GB as shown on the various blgs, but my phone shows message of Corrupted SD Card. No luck... :crying:
Can any one let me know how can I merge internal storage (6.25 GB) with phone storage (9.75 GB) to use the phone without any issue?
Or
How can I use the Phone Storage as Internal Storage and move applications to Phone storage?
Urgent help is greatly appreciated...

Hello.
I recently purchased a chinese off brand tablet and had an unexpected issue with the memory being partitioned. The model is vKB011B and it's processor is mt6592. It's running a Mediatek flavour of Lollipop 5.12.
The issue is that, while it has 64GB of internal memory, it's memory has been partitioned into one 4GB block of "Internal Storage" and one 60GB block of "Phone Storage". Apps, and most app data, all install to the 4GB partition so it runs out of memory very quickly. I can side step the issue to some degree by moving apps to "Phone Storage" but only some apps can be moved like this.
Basically I want to gain more access to this memory for the purpose or installing apps. I rooted the device and tried to use App2SD but it seems that this app only works with an External SD. I found a thread here describing a way to tell my device where to install apps but this doesn't appear to have any other option but "internal storage" and "external storage". I tested it just be sure and it doesn't change the install location without an external SD.
So I'm looking for what I can do to make my device install to the 60GB partition and preferably any app data as well.
Alternately I found this thread regarding altering partitions....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/guide-repartition-internal-memory-data-t3052242
But I am uncertain if this will work the same with my particular device since it sounds like his device has unified memory he's just stealing from the system memory. It also seems fairly risky if there is a means of simply installing to the 60GB partition with out altering it.
Finally, I am wondering if there is anyway to switch my device to unified memory?
Thank you very much for your time.

I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Trend (GT S7390).
My phone doesnt support Link2SD, so I downloaded Foldermount.
I got the "Foldermount has detected a faulty module" message and clicked "solve".
After this my phone acts in an extremely strange way. When I open storage settings, it is written that There is no space availible on internal memory, and I cannot access it - for example, I cant take screenshots anymore (I get a "memory low, delete some files" message), but when I take my SD card out of the phone, it continues working, even though the file browser shows that internal memory is empty and unaccessible (If I try to create a file in internal memory, I get a "permission denied" error). All this is extremely strange, because I dont know where the hell are my files and how does the phone work if it says its empty, but I can download applications with no memory warning. Moreover, this is very inconvinient, because I cant store anything on the phone and many apps dont work. I didnt find anything similar in the internet. Could you please help me?

I have lenovo A7000 with Marshmallow. I made sd as Internal memory. one fine day the card was showing as corrupted. when I tried using the card on PC, as the file system was not recognised the card was prompting for format.
With the help of recovery software I was able to retrieve the RAW data from the card. the recovered data has encrypted files in it under four folder DIR_EXE, DIR_JPG, DIR_SWF and 1 more. Is there a way in which I can retrieve data from these files?

Hi, I am a very accomplished PC super-geek user who can troubleshoot/fix just about any computer problem, and I'm looking for the equivalent person in regards to the Android phone.
I just bought a (brand new) DuraForce E6810 and put a new 32GB SD card in. When I put the card in, I elected for it to be used as internal memory in order to install/run apps from it. The SD card shows up in Settings > Storage, but it does not show up in ANY of the file manager apps I'm trying to use to manipulate/move files. I figured the "internal" storage might show up as 64GB in the file manager apps (32 internal + 32 SD configured as internal), but that is not the case. The file manager apps only show the 32GB internal memory that came with the phone. Anyone have any advice? I am planning to root the phone in order to (hopefully) take advantage of the HotSpot feature as well as the FM radio chip. Any advice on these topics would be greatly appreciated, also.
Thanks!

I do thank you for trying, though. Does anyone else know how I can get the help I need?

Thanks for moving this to the Kyocera DuraForce superthread. My device is Kyocera DuraForce Pro E6810 (Verizon). I have a 32GB MicroSD card, to go along with the phone's 32GB Internal memory.
After formatting the SD card as INTERNAL memory, I connected the phone to my computer via USB and selected USB File Transfer (MTP). On my computer, it ONLY shows the SD card with 28.6GB free out of 29.2GB Total memory, and the phone's ACTUAL internal memory is not listed at all.
After reformatting the SD card as PORTABLE storage and connecting the phone to my computer, it lists the SD card with 29.7GB free of 29.7GB Total, and the Internal memory with 15.0GB free of 21.0GB.
Both the SD card and the Internal memory of the phone are 32GB total space, which should be 64GB combined. Can someone please tell me why after formatting the SD card as INTERNAL storage, I only see 29.2GB TOTAL memory on the phone, and there is NO Internal memory listed at all when connected to my computer?
So I think I have this figured out, someone please verify this for me:
Formatting the SD card as INTERNAL storage REPLACES the phone's original internal storage and DOES NOT ADD TO IT! Is this essentially correct?
im a bit late on the response sorry
but respectively, yes you are pretty much correct. although it doesnt run off of the internal FS via the sd card, that would be silly, i believe it creates a duplicate partition of the part of the internal FS that allows a specific type of apps data to be run the can normally not run externally. such as meta data and binary files which contain the "actual" code for the app and not just a users cached data. To be honest i could be wrong idk, but that is my idea of what happens in your case. ita definitely happened to ne before.
