So when you go to settings-storage it shows 3 different kinds of memories. 1 is external storage, the other one says phone storage 9gb and the other one says internal storage 2gb. what is the difference between the internal storage and the phone storage? Thank you!
I believe one partition is used for apps and such.

Phone storage is the ~10gb free space (internal sdcard)
Internal storage is the space for /data partition such as your apps and app data.

Is there a way to increase the internal storage space and decrease the phone storage? Idk why but it keeps telling me there is no space whenever I try to do some backup/restore stuff, although in the system it shows there is something like 2gb free space of internal storage...

I apologise if this a nooby question but I've searched and can't find anything. Is it possible to store the apps on the 16gb usb storage instead of device storage. I don't have a memory card cos i think the 16gb will be ample big enough.
Cheers

What do you mean? All your apps go on a different partition which is 2gb in size. I hope you are not talking about using apps2sd...

Oh rite thanks for clearing it up. Just on my old phone (n97) the device storage was different to the usb storage. If i use up more of the device will the phone run slower? Sorry for the questions just want to try and get the best out of the phone, thanks : )

well, the addiional 11GB of the internal memory is also mounted as "sdcard" (while the actual SD card looks like a standar folder on this partition called "external_sd"), but you won't be able to use it for applications via apps2sd... at least my stock rom doesn't allow this, that works only with the actual SD card.
Either way, the primary 2GB offers plenty of room except if you want to install the whole android market on it.
When I tried to install NavFree I got an error Not enough space.
When ever I go into ny messages it says phone storage full but it will not let me delete then either. What do I do? I have 7gb of internal storage left and 17gb on my sd card. Phone memory is at 787mb so whts going on?

Hey guys. I can't remember exactly what I did but it seems like everything's saved on my SD card and almost nothing is in my internal storage. I have 10.67 out of 10.69 gigs free of internal storage while I only have .96 gigs of 7.40 gigs of my SD card left. 3 gigs are from music. Now my question is would it be smart to move my music to the internal storage or would it be smarter to move other things from the SD card to internal because as I said I basically have nothing on the internal mem

Bump...anyone?

It really doesn't matter. Some music apps only scan internal, so guess that's an argument for going with that option. Just know that a wipe rom will wipe your music. I'd get a 32gb external
Yea true. Hmm I just cannot recall what I had on my internal storage which is now on my SD card. Wish I knew what was taking up all of the space under root explorer I can see everything on the SD card I just don't know what I do and don't need on there and what is taking up all the space while my internal storage still has virtually no room being taken up. Also anyone running cm7 is the default under cyanogenmod settings>application is the box unchecked or checked for use internal storage? Mine is unchecked

My s3 is showing out of memory now. I have a 32gbp card with lots of green space and also my internal memory still 400mb remaining. I thought the apps got installed in the phone memory. Am I wrong? Is this 400mb limit?? Pls help . I'm on stock os, non rooted.

Your not wrong, thats why your out of storage space. All your apps are stored on your phone and not on your external 32GB card.
400MBs is all the space you have left on your phone. Try moving some music and pictures onto your 32Gb SDcard.
I know it's low. But when 400mb is available, atleast an app of 5mb or 2mb should get installed na???

Your phone still require some memory to perform other stuff like cache. Try to move your media files to ext sdcard.

Closed, only post in one section, and make sure if its a question that it goes in the Q/A section.
Keep getting the warning for low "phone storage" but it's actually my application storage. From what I understand it's the /data/data "partition." Is there any mod or tool that will work for this phone in particular that can increase (by using other storage, like sd) the size of this partition?
Thanks

Link2SD? Requires a partitioned SD card, though.
