Hi everyone,
My Galaxy Ace Plus is my first Android phone, and since I bought it several months ago I was confused because I found 3 memory locations on my device: the Internal Storage, USB Storage, and the External Memory card that I added.
I can't really understand what the USB Storage is?
In fact I made a factory reset few days ago as the device was freezing a lot, and it asked me whether I want to format the USB storage or not, stating that if I chose to format it I will lose all my music and pictures and other files. So I became more confused because all my media files, ebooks, etc. are placed in the External Memory card! so why it would consume space of both storage locations!!
can anyone explain that please?
Also what will I lose if I formated the USB Storage only? would it improve the device performance anyway?
Thanks!

Internal storage , Usb storage & SD storage
internal storage is the one reserved for system, i.e 1.5 GB on Note, or in another words it is the flash memory of the device. It stores the components of ROM or the ANDROID OS. Applications get installed on this memory.
USB storage is the rest of the original storage on Note (i.e around 9.5 GB). In common language an Internal Memory where all your files are saved by default. This memory is used by most of the applications for storage of their data.
Most of the move2sd apps move apps from internal to SD Storage which means the USB Storage.
external SD Card storage, on the other hand, is the storage which relies on another SD Card put into the phone, e.g....external SD Card.
That's before you put external SD card..
If you put another SD Card in the phone, it will read as external SD Card. In the file system, it is known as external_sd.
Now, the answer to your next question.. Formatting the USB Storage of the phone is simply formatting your internal memory. It has nothing to do with PERFORMANCE. it just makes space available on your device's internal memory. :good:
Thanks a lot!

Help, TWRP recognizes an "internal memory" of 48 MB, but not the real internal memory,so i can't flash the rom , and if I try to change the source, appear: Internal memory ( 48MB ) and USB - OTG (0 MB).
How can I fix this?

Install the stock RUU and after you are able to read the internal memory.
I have a very strange issue. On the rom my Jiayu s3 came with the internal sd works completely fine.
I tried flashing to this rom: http://www.needrom.com/download/jy-s3-stock-moded-system/
After this the internal SD won't show up, shows as 16Gb in Settings > Storage with 0 bytes free (should be lots of space free)
Also the Internal storage no longer shows up in twrp after flashing this rom instead it shows a storage which is around 4Gb total with a obb folder and twrp folder in that are empty.
I've wiped this rom and restored to the one it shipped with and this re-instates the internal sd, the backup restore isn't fixing this as that sd isn't backed up. So it looks like the storage mapping is wrong on this new rom?
I don't know, any ideas guys?
After flashing a kitkat rom, my phone storage is not mounting. I tried to replace bin/vold, storage-list in framework-res, also vstab and vstab.nand in etc. But its of no use. I can see my partitions but storage is not mounting. It would be very grateful, if anyone helped me. I have a mt6592 device.
I am working on a similar problem with my device and I came across an interesting fact today. Kitkat has limited access to external storage (I am unclear if you were talking about internal "phone" or external "SD card"). There are workaround apps in the playstore for external storage issues, but I haven't gotten any of them to work. Hope this helps you to narrow down the issue at least, I'm sorry I couldn't help more
Actually its both about internal and external storage. Both of the Sd cards wont mount at all. Internal storage just shows the partitions. But in the file explorer it shows empty folder.
Hi, I have a Huawei Y220 in which I can't install any apps. I get an error 498. I don't have an external SD cars inside right now. When I check the storage it is divided into two parts: internal SD card (about 9.4 MB available) and internal storage (about 139 MB available). Where are apps supposed to be installed? If it's in the SD card I can see that there is clearly not enough space. But if they have to go into the internal storage, there is still plenty of space for a couple of apps.
Also, when I connect the phone to the PC, I only see the 9.4 MB space. I'm confused with both storages.
Thanks in advance for your help.
