Apologies if this is a silly question. I love my Z3 however the memory on my phone is really slow and is affecting its performance etc. I have a 64gb sd card but without unlocking my bootloader and losing lots of features...is there any way i can move apps etc to my sd card so that there is more space on the internal memory? any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks!
what do you mean the memory is slow?

sorry meant that memory is very low and therefore the phone has slowed down considerably
The phone sets aside a certain amount of space for internal caching which you cant access as far as I know, so it should not slow down that much even when "full". That was a problem before Android 4.3 due to lack of "TRIM" function.
But as for moving apps, not possible till Lollipop, unless you unlock your bootloader.
Could you elaborate a bit more? Do you mean RAM memory or internal memory? How many apps do you have installed?
My unit is blazing fast so you either have a ridiculous number of apps installed or there is some flaw in your Z3.
i think its the fact that apps like sky go and 4od etc download the apps to the internal memory (because thats where they are installed). Similarly apps like spotify tend to use the internal memory hence filling it up really quickly.
The Moto E 2 seems like a good phone but with a somewhat small internal memory of 8 GB. But as it has Android 6 I thought it could work by just adding an SD card as internal memory.
But I can't find a definite answer whether this additional memory will really be undistinguishable from the "real" one. Some people wrote you still have to move apps to the new memory, some even said it only works with apps where the devs allowed it (i. e. hardly any at all). Also it seems system apps cannot use the additional memory which would be another major drawback on an 8 GB phone.
Can someone who already done it please tell me how the additional memory will be used? Can system apps be moved, can all user apps be moved, will data such as whatsapp videos be moved? Thanks.
Sorry for bumping... has nobody an idea?
The phone will see the storage as one instead of two. So will the PC if you connect the phone to it.

Yes, you can add a SD card but android OS doesn't really like SD card, your media, app won't run smoothly.

You can move your app, game data, media (img, music, video,...) to SD card very hard but forr app/game data, it won't run 100% as it used to be on internal storage.
My recommendation is to find other phone with more storage if you want to enjoy some apps/games with big size or move all media to Sd card but app/game data.
Have fun!

This is a phone for my mother. She needs more than 8 GB but wants a phone the size of Moto G or E. Apparently there are none that fit that criterion other than some Samsung phones and those are pricey. I like Motorola but their new 16 GB phones are all 5" or more. And the older smaller Moto X or G aren't available anymore.
As much as I disliked Steve Jobs, I 100% agree with him on his opinion towards screen size...
I've got a Sony Xperia m4 aqua (E2303) with 8gb of internal storage with a Sd card of 32gb, but I can't transfer everything to the Sd card.
How can I do it and have 40gb reals (fusionate the internal storage and the Sd card)?
Do I need root?
If it's impossible please also answer.

What do you mean you can't transfer anything to extsdcard?
Are you trying to move apps to SD card?
What android version do you have?
You can't put the 8GB and the 32GB together as one, it doesn't work that way.
If you're trying to do what I think you're trying to do, yes, you will need root to do it.

Adoptable storage option was introduced with the android marshmallow release. Infact you can use internal + external sdcard as one combined storage.
Because mixing the storage, especially with cheap and slow sd cards, may slow down the phone and result in data loss, some OEMs have removed the adoptable storage option.
If you have a rooted phone you can set up the storage manually jusing adb shell.
The guide is written for a Samsung device but should work on any compatible phone with android 6 or higher.

Yeah, I know of adoptable storage, that's the point of asking what android version he have, if he had marshmallow I was going to tell him to use the adoptable storage feature.
But still, the adoptable storage let's you use extsd as internal but it doesn't technically make them "one" seamlessly or without issues in other places, that was my point when I said you they couldn't be made into one.

Of course you're right. The storage physically stays the same but becomes usable as one. His Sony probably runs android 6.0.1.

I wouldn't call it restrictions. By design it's considered to be combined space but in practice, I'm just saying that they aren't used as one issue-lessly, some things don't like playing well with adoptable storage but work just fine with the actual internal. Basically I guess I'm saying it acts as the same but doesn't work as the same. On its face it's the same but under the skin it isn't. Details that don't have much impact on its usage but "can".

How do you know? The latest official release for his phone is 6.0.1.
@daninguno
We produced a bunch of text while discussing the feature itself whitout answering your question.
- If your phone is running Android 6 or newer you can adopt your external sdcard
- If the feature isn't offered in Sony's menu interface you need to root your phone and set up the storage using adb shell following a guide
- class 10 sd card means write speed of at least 10MB/s - your phone's CPU could handle much higher speeds - a faster sd card would be a good option e.g. SanDisk Extreme
- if your sd card bricks you will lose ALL of your data without the possibility to restore it as files may be stored splitted to both storages
- You need to know if you really need the storage. Its only necessary for installing apps. All other files like photos, videos, music, movies can be stored on the ext sd card directly.
- rooting your device will grant you some usefull options if you need and know how to use them but you should spend some hours to understand the process and possible (side-)effects
- rooted or not - delete all non needed crap from your phone. Installing only apps you really need urgently greatly improves the user experience on every phone - nothing is worse than a lagging user interface
- keep in mind that every app that suggerates you to speedup your phone and improve security will do the complete opposite which means slowing it down, and collecting your personal data

With adoptable storage, you won't see a difference in where you store your apps. It treats internal and external as the same thing.
Adoptable storage gives you more space to use as internal but it makes everything a little slower in the process. It doesn't improve performance, it actually loses a bit of performance, it only gives you more internal storage and that's it.

Is there a root for E2303 with marshmallow?
Where/Which are the files?
I have 701 with standard firmware + root. I want to swap internal memory with external SD card. I wanted to use this software:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pr.swap.sd&hl=en
But it requires XPosed framework. So I looked for it, and below are the instructions for EMUI 3.1, but my device has version 3.0.5:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-workaround-running-xposed-t3338765
Because I have earlier version, I am afraid to install and brick my device.
I also checked the common method by editing config file vold.fstab , but it appears Huawei changed even this part and this file is not even there:
https://ibb.co/dEOhq5
I would like to not update the firmware and EMUI as I am little experienced and am afraid to brick my device. Also, I wonder if that PR Swap app simply wouldn't try to edit the vold.fstab file, which is not there, and fail anyhow ...
Could you please give me an advice how could I do the swap?
So, after working for a while I found out that this phone surprisingly has this built-in feature for swapping the memories:
Settings>Storage>Default location> (Select SD card)
After doing this, the phone restarts and all regular apps "thinks" that SD card is internal memory. However, the system of the phone itself actually "knows" what is what and continues to install the apps to the real internal memory.
I did this experiment: uninstalled facebook, messenger and skype, ran CCleaner. Internal memory had 5.06 GB used.
Then I installed these three apps back, and then internal memory had 5.5 GB used (external 64 GB SD card had the same amount of memory used - so nothing by default went to SD card)
Finally I moved these 3 apps to "SD Card" using app manager, and then internal memory had 5.3 GB used.
A couple notices I made:
1. After changing default location to "SD card", some data (probably) is actually moved to external memory, and now the phone needs more time to start. And I mean noticeably more time, like 4-5 minutes to boot fully. As I don't turn off my phone often so this is not a problem for me. (I noticed no difference in loading time of the apps)
2. I am almost certain that after setting default location to SD card the phone allows to move more apps to external memory. Also, the phone probably moved some system data to the SD card. Now there is a reasonable amount of free space in internal memory, so I am happy
Hi @astuntas , I have a quick question for regarding this feature. Using this setting, does the APK also get stored on the External MicroSD card?
My Internal Storage is so full that I often get the permanent notification that i am critically low even after I moved some apps to SD card in the Android Application settings because it looks like the APK itself still doesn't get moved and stays on the Internal Storage.
I was going to use the app called "Apps2SD Pro" which I bought from the Play Store and re-partition my MicroSD card but if the Android OS can do this natively then I would rather do that instead.
Please let me know, thanks.

For me the emui settings SD card storage is for son data only. But I never verified it.
to get more internal storage make sure you did move all movable apps to your external SD (AppMgrIII from pkaystire will tell you that). It will also let you clean your apps cache, Hicham could get back a lot of free space.
Apps SD pro must be a link2sd like app. They were used a lot on older device, mediapad x2 shouldn't be so dependent to these apps. More over they could Slow some app access, and sometimes make the device reboot.
One thing I know, is that android 6 does not over link2sd feature natively, as far as I know.
Give it a try anyway, it free internal space for sure, in a big amount.
As you are root, I suppose you've deblaoted you device?

Hi Djiban, I have debloated some apps yes but I despite this I just have downloaded a lot of little "lite" apps I find useful which take up a lot of space, especially the APK. These days it seems many apps (APK file size) just take up more space than they should. Just the stupid McDonald's app takes up more than 50MB and they all add up. It would be nice if Android natively was able to store the APK on the external SD card and not just some data files which it currently does now because the APK is what seems to be the majority of the space contents.
BTW, does EMUI B212 have "su.d" support or "init.d" support? I'm sure you or @ajsmsg78 knows this! Thanks guys.

My phone (Samsung Galaxy On5) has over 200 mb of storage free, & it still alerts me daily that I'm running low on storage. If I try to install anything from the play store, even something that's less than a MB in size it displays a popup asking me to uninstall a bunch of apps to make room. I just installed something on another device then transferred it over to this one (saved on SD so It's not taking up any internal space) & tried to sideload it & it still wouldn't install it. Is there a fix? It seems to me like Google has no real interest in fixing major issues with Android that have existed practically since the beginning like devices being "low on storage" while Android is the top mobile OS. Perhaps if something like Pinephone would actually succeed & give Android some competition Google would care & address the issues? /r (By the way, there really should be an '<r> </r>' tag.)

Well yeah, 200MB is definitely low on storage. And this message can certainly be annoying but it's not a bug, but a "security" mesure, if you need to take a photo or something, or if an app needs more space to run, it'd be a good thing to have 200MB leftover.
Nowadays apps can take >200Mb just for cache so yeah, it's considered nothing. I personally try to keep at least 1GB free.
Have you checked your storage whether something can be deleted? This is a great app for showing you storage use
You can put in up to a 256 gb SD card, what are you waiting for?
Use internal memory for the OS, programs and downloads (temporarily).

The newer generations of Samsung's are capable of very faster read/write times on a fast sd card.
The 10+ shows no lag when using media files off the card. Literally have over 200 albums stored as .wav files there and movies too.
Provides a little bit of a buffer too from malware getting into the data; I've picked off a couple in the downloads folder before they got going including a jpeg. The whole card is backed up on the PC and a 2nd hdd... just in case.
Lol, have an old Dell e6400 laptop I picked up cheap. Just realized 3 weeks ago I could swap out the DVD/CD player for a hot swappable hdd insert tray... $100 latter it now has a 2tb data drive. Split the page file between the two for now, OS and data speeds are a lot better.
You can -never- have too many internal bays on any device, only not enough.

The problem is I factory reset because of being low on storage, & left off a lot of the apps I had before & I'm still every bit as low on storage as I was before if not more. What am I supposed to do when I'm not the one at fault for my phone being low on storage? I would root so I could rip out all of the samsung bloat but A. I can't afford to buy a new phone should something go wrong, & B. I don't think the galaxy On5 has a 1-click root which means having to use a windows computer which I don't have.
Android phones have an in-built feature known as Adoptable Storage, which enables users to add an extra layer of storage space for music, pictures, videos, files, and so on.
The interesting thing is that the Adoptable Storage feature allows SD cards to serve as a permanent internal storage medium. This means that everything you save on your phone will be moved to the external storage (SD card) you mounted, and not your phone's internal storage. With SD cards in play, you never have to worry about your phone's storage getting full, and developing lagging problems.
I looked it up & from what I can tell it's disabled on my phone (Thanks again Samsung.). So that's not an option. Yet another reason to steer clear of Sammy if at all possible. I remember Google saying when they gave the first presentation on android that they wouldn't allow preinstalled, un-removable, then they did, & still do.

I use 20gb just for apps, caches and a tempory download folder. So if you 16gb of memory yeah I see the issue and had to trim the the tree with S4+ before.
Use this package disabler:
Home - Package Disabler
The only NON-root solution that let’s you disable any unwanted packages that come pre-installed / installed with your phone / tablet.
www.packagedisabler.com
Disable crap you don't need and then use that same app to clear it's data. The app is still there just not running and sucking up memory by adding more via data/cache.
Clear browser cache regularly, limit the phone to two browsers max. Clear data regularly on gmaps if you don't need that data or disable if you don't use it. Police the caches regularly, SD Maid (16mb) does a good job.
As for your music, vids, documents, pics, put all of that on an SD card.
Although you can use the SD card as internal memory as jwoegerbauer points out it's best not to unless you can't avoid it. You may have to though if you can't live without some of those large user installed apps.
I could cut my 10+ down to 14gb internal if I had too... so can you.
There are apps I rarely use. As pointed out already you should have at least 1gb of free space preferably 2gb or more head room.
Sort it out as what you're doing now isn't good Android husbandry.

Whether Adoptable Storage is default feature on a phone or not can easily queried with following ADB command sequence:
Code:
adb devices
adb shell "sm has-adoptable"
If true is returned than phone has this feature.

I just installed something on another device then transferred it over to this one (saved on SD so It's not taking up any internal space) & tried to sideload it & it still wouldn't install it. Is there a fix? It seems to me like Google has no real interest in fixing major issues with Android that have existed practically since the beginning like devices being "low on storage" while Android is the top mobile OS. Perhaps if something like Pinephone would actually succeed & give Android some competition Google would care & address the issues? /r (By the way, there really should be an '<r> </r>' tag.)
