is video and pictures the only thing saved to the sd card on this phone?
gmail attachments, stock browser are going to internal.
how can you change where all goes to sdcard-ext?
storage is set to external on settings..
thanks

Most things will default to internal storage but certain applications will ask you.
Well as the post says. I'm running out of memory on my internal and for some reason nothing's going to my SD card

And I'm installing Gameloft games so I really need the SD card but if I put the data there the game no longer recognized the data until it was moved back

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

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.

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

You're not understanding us.

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?

Having this issue when I take a picture a message says I cannot store it on my sd card and saves it to the phone memory!
Anyone know what the score is with this.
I can read the card from "my files"

Are you able to add/remove files on the card? If not, I had the same problem - the card effectively became read only permission-wise and I couldn't correct it. Ended up copying all files onto computer, formatting the card in the phone, and copying it all back and it's been fine since

Seems that I have no room left on my phone storage & tons of space left on my SD card. How can I get my phone to put everything on the card, by default??
Would this work: if I hook my phone up to my PC, then just took all the folders on my phone storage, and moved them to the Card. Would my apps & stuff still work or would doing that not be good??

I don't think just copying the apps will allow them to work. You can use Application Manager to move some apps to the sd card.
I went thru all my apps & moved whichever ones I was able to move. But I did that a long time ago. So I still have no room on my phone storage.

Move photos, downloads and any music on your phone to your SD card too. Then in your camera app go to settings and change the SD card as default.
Download the free version of SD Maid and use it to clean up old thumbnails and program files still on your phone from before you moved them.
I once deleted 2gb of photo gallery thumbnails from my phone with this app. You can also see which files are the largest on your phone and SD card to see if you can move or delete anything.
I have this app on my phone, tab, and my kids tabs to keep up with their memory and storage usage.

Thanks, I'm also running out of space, I'll give this a shot.
Tonight I was gonna try to just backup all my.stuff and then start over. I use GO launcher and I saw that I have GO backup on my phone, so I was gonna try to.use that. I started the app & it said my SD card is corrupted or damaged. I included a screenshot of what it said:
So would this be the reason why everything is on my internal storage instead of my card? Or is that message just something I.should ignore??

If you have a card reader unmount your SD card, take it out and try reading it on a computer. If you can read it I would copy everything off and put in a temporary folder on your desktop. Then format the card with the computer and put it back in the phone, format it using the phone and try your back-up again.
If it works put the card back in your computer and copy your files back. Be sure to unmount the card each time. Mine went corrupt once because I didn't.
How do I make the SD card, the default storage for everything? Or is that not possible...

You would have to change defaults on all your apps, camera is a big one.
