So my 16 gb is officially full, and no app2sd support in sight?
Does anyone know if the 32 gb has more storage for apps? I read in a review that it was partitioned the same as the 16 gb.

As a owner of Nexus S without SD card, when I want to move an app to the external memory, I just click move to SD and it works fine. But in Galaxy S2 and other phones, there are 3 memories, internal, external and SD.
If I have 2 GB internal, 16 GB external, and without SD, and I try to move the app to SD, it says not enough memory, cause probably it tries to move it to the SD card which I don't have. So my question is how do I move apps to the 16 GB external memory ? and is it possible without root ?
Some people said it installing directly to the external, so I checked and it's not, I installed an app and saw the internal 2 GB decreasing, and the 16 GB stayed the same.
If I understood you correctly. S2 has 16 GB total storage, of this 16, 2 is used for app installation, 11.5 is for storage, and rest is system. You can only install apps in the 2GB portion, or in external SD (if app supports it). You cannot install app in the 11.5GB storage portion.

Tbh i wouldnt worry about it i have approx 150 apps installed and ive only used 650mb! I believe big game files install to the internal sd automajically anyway.
I see, thanks for your time !
hi guys, had alook around but cant find out if its possible to install apps etc to my micro sd card on my prime with ics??
is it possible yet, if so how?
thanks for any help
I know of no way to do this, nor was there any method I knew of for Honeycomb. Granted it seems strange, but with at least 32 Gb internal memory, it's really not needed. I had 170 apps on my 16 Gb TF201 and hardly used 4-5 gig of space.
Hey guys, I just have a quick question regarding the memory of the tablet.
I have a 32GB model, but the thing is that in the Settings -> Memory, the Internal Memory (which is the on-board one, not the.SD card) is showing as "Available: 19,68 GB".
But how come that there is only 19 GB available when it's the 32GB model? Where are the other 12GB?
Not all 32 GB are user accessible. Some is reserved for the OS, and some is partitioned solely for apps (I think its something like 8 GB for the OS and 4GB for apps).
On the 16 GB version, only abour 4 GB is available as user accessible storage. So the 12 GB that are "missing" are right on (same as my 16 GB version).
EDIT: Didn't quite get the numbers right (didn't have my Flyer with me when I typed the above response).
16 GB Flyer: roughly 4 GB for OS, 4 GB for apps, leaving about 8 GB for user-accessible storage
32 GB Flyer: roughly 4 GB for OS, 8 GB for apps leaving about 20 GB for user-accessible storage
i galaxy i have 16 gb but for apps only 1.97 gb and 11 gb for sd( music picture video) i just wanna know is it possible to use the other 11 gb part of it for apps and games as many games on playstore are very memory consuming like 300MB , 500MB so i dont have microsd card so help me there is any way.
i have many other app beside games
U Can use Link2SD to take apps from internal to external memory, u can find the app on play store, Easy to use
external memory mean phone internal sb storage (11gb) or external micro sd card
Internal 11 GB.
thank u
I have searched high and low for an answer to this but cannot seem to find one. I have recently rooted my NT to use CM 10 and everything appears to be working fine save one exception. I have an external SanDisk 32 GB class 4 card that I am using and it only shows 1GB available when it is installed in my NT. Here are the things I have tried without any luck.
** reformat SD card using SDFormatter.
** double check the partitioning using mini tool and verified that there is only one partition 32GB, FAT 32.
** put the SD card in my laptops SD card reader and I see that all 32 GB are available.
** put the SD card back in my NT and uses AppMgrIII to move the app to external SD, then ejected the SD and saw that the app was no longer available so I know what my NT is calling the SD is in fact my external SD card.
The only thing I have not tried is a new SD. Any clues?
EDIT:
One note, when I go into Settings --> Storage I see two sections marked internal storage and one SD card section.
Internal Storage 1
Total Space 3.97GB
Internal Storage 2
Total Space 29.71 GB (This is my external SD card)
SD Card
Total Space 1.00GB

The 1 GB you see listed is actually internal emmc. Your 32 GB sd is actually 29.71 GB formatted. Your internal user media is 3.97 GB.
This is how internal memory is allocated-
1 GB RAM+1 GB emmc+4GB media+2GB (split between OS and /data)=8GB model.
1 GB RAM+1 GB emmc+4GB media+10GB (split between OS and /data)=16GB model
You did not mention if you have the 8 or 16 GB model. Either way there is nothing wrong with your memory allocation.
I have the 16 GB model. When I try to move apps to SD does it shows it moving to the 1GB sd card which you said was the internal emmc. I will play around some more to see if I can get some more evidence. Thank you for answering!

Are you running an app that mounts/swaps emmc as SD?
No
If you're using paranoid android it swaps the internal storage and SD card. Nothing to be worried about, but if you want it swapped use the succulant build.
did you figure this out? My nook color running 4.0.2 does the same thing (shows 2 external sd cards), and installs all the "sd apps" to the smaller sdcard1 partition instead of my actual external sdcard2. How do I tell it to treat my actual sd as the external sd so I can put all my apps on it?
many thanks

It is "figured out" for OP in the replies. To switch on your build, try asking in the Color forum section. There may be a zip to flash or maybe a change to be made in the build prop. But you need to check it for your device and ROM.
oops sorry, I had so many tabs open researching this I didn't realize this wasn't the NC forum. I have asked in there on a few threads, hopefully something will turn up.
thanks!
