When I go to download an item I an told I don't have enough space I have a 32gb micro SD and still have at least 19gb free I am running shostock2 v1.0 (will be upgraded by the end of the day to g1.1) is there a way to combine internal SD with external SD?

Definitely no way to combine the 2 as far as i know. (that's what wp7 does and locks the ext sd up).

What are you downloading? When downloading an app I think it requires the space to be available in the "device memory", that partition is where apps install be default and is about 2 GB. If you are downloading a single file over 19 GB, then you would have to move the files from your SD card to your phone memory to make the space available in a single place.

If you're downloading a file from your browser, you can set the default download location to your SD card instead of your phone memory.
If you're downloading an app and you're out of space, yeah your only option is to move some apps to the SD.
I don't use any phone memory I have 1 of 2gb free in phone memory but my phone says I have 10gb internal but I have used it all then I click "external_SD" I have 20gb open in that area

As explained above: you need to have enough room in the phone's internal memory. Go to settings/applications and move some existing apps to the external SD. I had to do this recently when trying to install Modern Combat 3.
I have room on internal memory for the phone it tlself the phone took my 32gb men card and split it into internal and external is there a way I can make it all one instead of two? I download tons of music and roms so I deal with the SD more than the device itself

the OS doesnt take your external sd and split it between internal and external
you have external

you have internal
different sd cards altogether

Ok, all you need to do is set the default download location to your external SD instead of the internal. In gingerbread it's pretty easy to find in the browser settings...I have to assume that's where it is in ICS too.

Listen: the memory card IS NOT split. You have an external SD card. That's the one you can take out and hold in your hand. You also have another one of those that you can't take out; it's built into the phone. That's the internal SD card. Two different cards, not one split into two.

just like EVERY other phone out there, its advertised as 16gb
thats 16gb TOTAL storage.
it gets divided up into PARTITIONS just like EVERY OTHER phone
system
'internal' which is where APPLICATIONS get installed
/mnt/sdcard which is 12+/- GB of USER ACCESSIBLE SPACE *this is where stuff gets DOWNLOADED when you are downloading from the interwebz
/mnt/sdcard/external_sd (/mnt/emmc in AOSP roms) THIS IS THE EXTERNAL sd card...the REMOVABLE one
why do you keep thinking you are getting screwed out of space? or that anything is any different than other phones?

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

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

Thanks for the reply guys but Im not trying to move my apps to the sd card . Im trying to make the data that the apps download go to the sd card
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
I don't think you can. The internal storage is mounted to /mnt/sdcard, and apps seem to always put their downloaded data on /mnt/sdcard. Only tip I can give is to move all your music, pics and videos to the external card to make room for the app data.
Or, move game data to the external sd card when you're not using it, then move it back when you want to play that game.

Hey guys I figured out that cyanogen has that option to use internal or external sd for data storage. Is there a stock rom that offers it?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
No, at least not on any stock based android I've seen. Cyanogenmod was designed to be installed onto the ext sd card. The 'option' it gives is to use the internal, not the other way around. Technical difference, but nonetheless.
I've never seen a stock based 'prom' (that's for you gary) for any phone that had android installed onto the ext sd card.

So with stock Rom apps all have to stay on internal sd?

It looks like it, even game data. Atleast thats how it is with the international version and theres no move to sd option in the setting. I dont see why it would be different for US version. The only other option I can think of is when theres root you can use GL to SD so you can move large game data to micro sd and leave the apps in internal. This is a better solution if you have large game data.
Makes it tough to plug and play a preexisting sd card since apps are looking for saved data in the usual sd location.
Like you said, I'm sure once we custom roms things will be different

Anyone been able to move they apps to sd card?
You should try app2zip app on the market recommend by bfitz26. It make a zip of your apps and you can just flash them to any rom.

I need to move them to sd cuz the sgs3 only holds a terrible 11 gb of data and some apps now are 1-2 gb so what I can only have 5 games? so dumb... I tried apps 2 sd but for some reason its not working, titanium backup isnt letting me move apps to sd either too

It's a much bigger issue than this phone. Read this.... http://www.chainfire.eu/articles/113/Is_Google_blocking_apps_writing_to_SD_cards_
So basically samsung is preventing the sd card from really being very usable on purpose?
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.
