Marshmallow allows adaptive storage by combining internal and external storage as a single volume. So if I add a 128GB MicroDD to the existing 32GB should end up with 160GB of continuous storage.
Anyone knows how to enable it SAFELY on the Honor 8?

I have my internal 16 gb all filled up about 95% and I bought a micro sd card which arrived today.
I began transferring media to the micro sd card under /removable/microsd/ and was able to transfer about 1gb so far of the possible 16gb.
i noticed when i would start a file transfer, i would get a pop up message saying the file "may be copied to the device for storage or transport use only. it is not supported for use on the device itself. if possible, use a media program that can convert the file before copying it. if you copy the file now, it will be stored on the device, but may not be presented in the device user interface."
however, i would get an error after saying theres not enough free space on the device when i began transferring my media.
wtf is going on and how do i transfer my media to the micro sd?
plug it into your PC and copy it to your PC then to microSD
yes, my tablet is hooked up to my pc. that is wherein lies the error messages i'm getting.
so it looks like when i cleared my micro sd and my internals and tried again it worked.
1) first i loaded my media onto the micro sd first
2) then i was able to transfer media to my internal storage
i find this strange because i was having errors loading to the micro sd card after my internal storage was filled up.
Where did you bought the microSDHC card? Did you tested it to full capacity and see if it's genuine?

I also get a message when trying to copy files to the microSDHC card (inserted in the TF) from the PC, but I just click to continue and they copy just fine.
yeah its real. transcend 16gb micro sdhc class 6 straight from amazon.
before i just bypass the message notification (hence loading about 2gb of media onto my micro sd).
when i tried to transfer more, i would get an error saying my storage was full. seems to be fluky.
I bought a class 32 GB micro SD card for my TF. I'd like to record video and pictures there. The only setting that I see in the camera settings are "Storage" On or Off. I've tried both settings, but pictures are saved on internal memory.
How do I change this?
What exactly is the difference between internal and USB storage on the Nexus S? It only has internal memory that's not expandable so why bother with the separation?
Also should I be moving apps to the USB storage since the internal storage of 1GB is 2/3 filled with apps?
The Nexus S uses a single 16GB flash module that is partitioned into two volumes instead of one smaller flash module and an expandable memory slot (SD) setup found in many other phones. The "Internal Storage" is the internal flash memory needed by Android to house the OS installation. The "USB Storage" is partitioned separately to allow the volume to be mounted, which lets you simultaneously use your phone while performing read and write operations on the "external" volume. If it wasn't set up this way, you would have to forego the ability to use your phone while it was mounted. It also allows you to erase and flash a new ROM without affecting "USB Storage" contents (photos, custom ringtones, music, etc.).
If your app has the option to be moved to "external" storage, the only drawback is that you won't be able to access it on the phone while the volume is mounted.
Oh, ok. Thanks. I never bothered using the phone when it is in USB storage mode, but it actually still works except some apps say "not installed".

The reason for this is that USB mass storage can only have 1 device access in at any time. if your computer is accessing it, android cannot This means that if you have apps installed to the SD card, they are no longer accessible to Android and as such, are considered not installed, disconnecting USB mass storage and letting the phone re-initialize the partition will "re-install" the program.
The other issue with the separate partitions is that you have limited space for "internal storage", on the nexus, that's around 1 gig, on other phones, it can be as low as 100 MB. Normally, this space cannot be changed, so you have to anticipate the needs of the customers when building the phone.
To correct this problem, ICS uses Media Transfer Protocol, for an explanation on why, look here. Interestingly enough the iPhone also uses a similar method for transferring files, only they have a custom protocol through iTunes rather then the more generic MTP.
Hi, i have a problem that i think is because of partition of our P20 phones. I have a stereo car player with USB connection to play music from a usb device and works fine, but when i try from internal storage of my P20, it not recognize my files.
I think this is because type of partition of P20.
Any of you know a solution to use our phones as external storage?
Of course i choose option "file transfer" on usb options instead only charge.
Thanks!
Does this phone support adoptable storage? Anyone tried it with their phone?
I was thinking of buying a big MicroSD card with this phone. My XZ1 Compact has run out of internal space and force enabling adoptable storage breaks any app that is moved to the MicroSD card.
