Hi iv connected my phone to my pc via usb I wanted to transfer 10GB file size over on to my sd card but it says file destination too small when there is enough space as my card is 16gb, any help please?
Your sd may be 16gb but you can use only 11.50 gb as the rest are used by the phone.. So I guess you have used over 1.50 gb already and there is not enough space... Try through an external sd or free some space...

But it says I have 11.5gb free?
The file size is only 9.75gb
I see that there is a usb storage in 11.50gb and a system storage in 1.97 gb. Maybe the second is for the applications and is taken from the usb storage...
Why does the phone use 4.5GB of the SD cards space? I thought there was internal storage too.

Yeah I thought so too but somehow it does...

It's not only one file, is it? The file system (fat32) can't handle such big files.

Yeah it is fat32, and yeah it is one file. Is there a way around this?
Fat32 can only handle file sizes of around 4GB each time. So each file you want to transfer can only be around 4GB in size. I believe the SGS2 works with an NTFS formatted card, and with NTFS you can transfer any file size.
Can the file you are trying to transfer be broken up into small segments or must it remain as a 10GB file?

It's a video file. So must stay as one. I'll try to convert sd card as ntfs
S2 can't recognise ntfs
Are you sure? Pretty sure I read somewhere that it does. Oh well, is fat32 the only format it reads?

Seems to be, because when formatted to NTFS it says unrecognised format please reformat
Anybody else got ideas?
Try encode with smaller bit rate and smaller resolution?

Is it true that it's impossible to put files larger than 4Gb on either the micro sd card or the phone's internal memory? If yes, can this limitation be overcome? I'm having in view large movie files, primarily.

Well, I don't know for sure, I read that there is a 2Gb ext4 system partition which is allocated to applications, and I don't know about the rest of the internal memory.
SD cards are usually formated as fat32, which puts this 4Gb limitation, and I don't know if the phone will work with a card formated as anything else.

Hmmm Ok. The EXT4 is /data, and the system partitions. So if it's using FAT32, then you are correct...
I don't think stock rom supports any other filesystems really though.
Does anyone know how to swap the internal storage with the sd card? The fstab looks funky.

what do you mean by swap the internal storage with the external? dont you just normally use both internal and external together?
FOr what reasons? For apps to be moved/installed in the external SD?
Answer is at the moment Apps2SD doesn't work YET in s3
No. I mean to literally swap their mount directories. I've done this before on my Note. I edited my vold.fstab and with a little help got my internal storage mounted to /sdcard/ExternalSD and my 64GB SD card mounted to /sdcard. That's what I want to do here.

Thank you so much. And to answer the questions, I want to do this so my internal storage can be as big as the SD card I'm using. For example, I have the storage swapped on my n7000 so my 64GB SD card is read as internal storage and my 16GB internal storage is read as an external SD card.

I would like to do the same. i have done this switch on my note and it works flawlessly. I want to do this because I am a hardcore gamer and 16gb is nowhere near enough space to store all my game data, but my 64gb sd card is.

Never thought of it that way hehe. But I have a question about the setup: Have you ever had issues where your SD card randomly unmounted itself? If so, what happened to the system? Were you still able to run it or did it freeze or anything else?
Thanks
Not even once and I have had it set this way on my note for months through several different roms

The internal SDcard is not a real partition but a userspace mount (fuser)
It's configured in the file /init.smdk4x12.rc with the exact definition:
Code:
service sdcard /system/bin/sdcard /data/media 1023 1023
I don't see the daemon getting any kind of configuration as to the target directory. Either it's hardcoded or it uses /system/etc/vold.conf definition volume_sdcard the mount_point value.
You can't use Easy UMS anymore though since it will unmount the external SD.
Just using the APK Directory Bind will work fine though to simulate folders on the external SDcard as being on the internal one.
You can swap over the Internal SD with your external SD so you could have a 64GB phone with a 16GB ext card (assuming your phone is a 16GB one) - take a look at ExtSd2InternalSd v4|Increase your data storage
If possible, i would like to add 100 mb from my 16 gb external sd to the internal memory so that the total become 202+100=302
Please give me the procedure

I'm fairly certain that you can't do that. The internal memory in your phone is actually internal memory on your phone and the external sd is actually an sd card. You can't just transfer memory from one to the other because they are physically different devices.
It's like trying to add a 4GB flash drive to your computer's hard disk, you just can't do it.

Yes, you can. By enabling swapping, you'll buy memory size at the cost of memory speed. This question pops up every week, and a quick search would have given you an answer like this.

Hm.. you can try using SD_Ext. Its a partition that can be used by apps to store Android apps, cache, etc. (Normally found in /data). I'm not too sure about the procedures, but you could do a google search on it. It basically requires you to resize your sd cards partition, add another partition, and requires some small mods to your current android system. (Installing an app, etc.)
Try here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750888 and google for sd ext'
EDIT: If you meant extending your RAM, follow kuisma's post. But if you meant extending your ROM or Internal mem, this post applies to it.

You are both correct, but talks about different things.
You can not transfer physical memory from the SDcard or internal NAND flash to RAM, but you can use them to increase the virtual memory.
I have explored the phone using ES File Explorer. But, I just can't seem to grasp the file structure.
There is an sdcard folder, sn SDcard0 and sdcard1. Some folders and their contents appear to be mirrored in other places. There are several sdcard folders, in various other places. Just confusing as heck to me.
Can someone please explain the file structure to me. What is the external card. What is the internal card? Why is there are internal card? Why are there multiples of the same folder. What does mnt mean?
Thanks for the help.
This won't answer much but sdcard is the removable one and emmc is the internal storage. Idk why its there's short cuts everywhere, maybe its just faster access but it doesn't take up space
Are you trying to do something specific?

The external card is the Micro SD card you see when you take the back cover of your phone off.
The internal card is the 16 gb of internal storage that is part of the motherboard.
The internal card gives you more storage and is also where some system files are.
Multiples of the same folder? I dunno.
mnt is usually the "mount" folder in a linux OS (which Android is) and where drives and storage is mounted.

actually the Removable sd card is the 16Gb one. not the internal

The internal is 16gb and the phone comes with a 16gb for the external as well - it's partitioned though, so there's the "internal" and "phone" for the internal 16gb card, then "storage card" for the external if you look under storage in settings. My removable external is a 64gb. :highfive:
Hmmm, I haven't upgraded mine yet but I only have 600mb left total Lol

I just found that out
I assumed because my micro SD said 16Gb and internal was partitioned at 10gb than I tested by taking out the micro SD card and than booting into twrp and used the file manager to see if sdcard was gone and it was but emmc was still present

Well you can get a 64gb card for $100 less than I got mine for, well actually, for $55 more since mine was a xmas gift.
Seriously, you can get a 64gb card for less than $60 on amazon.
Sweet, I'll make sure to buy one to store more music and adventure time on since I have a road trip in about a month and a half

I have a 32 GB SDHC card with Fat32... When I ever transfer new files to it somehow gets deleted. What is causing this?
Are you telling the app you're using to delete files after they transfer? Maybe you're not looking in the correct location for them. Anything is possible.
I think it's a problem with the SanDisc SD Cards.

just to let you know, fat32 will not allow files over 4gb. so are you saying that they are a bunch of smaller files??
if so then please answer this:
after the file/files get deleted, does the amount of free space go back up or does it seem to say the same?
the only thing as of right now that i can suggest is that you need to take the card out of your player and plug it into your computer and format it again
Are you transferring them on your device from internal to external SD or on a PC?
If on your device, which program to move files?
We should establish that first.
I am using a PC to transfer this files Drag N Drop File size is not over 4GB .. just music MP3s and some apps. The amount of free space changes after it gets deleted,
