Ok, I have searched XDA, google, etc.. still have not found a solution.
I have 10.53GB of USB storage available on the Gnote. Can I install apps onto this area w/o installing a SD card??? I don't want to add an extra SD card as there is 10+ gigabytes on the phone available for use. Or is this data only available to put files from a connection to a computer???
Thank you much for any help.
How did you cram a USB drive into your phone?

Yes, 2GB full completely full. Can't even get updates on the apps already installed.
So is it possible to use the internal USB storage for apps???
Thanks.
Let me try something and get back to you.

Looks like you can't do it with the native application manager. Have you tried app2sd from playstore? I haven't us3d it so don't know if it has that capability.

i own a galaxy s3 and i have a problem: i cannot download files from the browser. for example, is this restaurant where i order pizza, they have a .pdf menu that you can download. i click on it and it says download unsuccessful. in download manager it says not enough space (i have over 23 gb free space...). i googled it and i found something related to lucky patcher but i don't even know what that is because it isn't installed on my phone. i had insertcoin rom installed, now i have daky. the same problem occured on both roms. Please, can someone help me to repair my phone? it's so awkward to have such a device and to be unable to download a 1MB file from the internet...
I had the same problem it ended up that in the browser setting it was set up to download to sd instead of device and I somehow corrupted my SD card you might have the same problem try move a folder to your SD card and if it says failed then you will have to move all data on SD to internal or a PC and format the SD card then it will be OK that's what happened to me .... if you need any help pm me good luck

if its happened on both roms its likely to be the SD card corrupted just transfer all data to internal or a PC ,format the SD then you can transfer it back and all will be OK it sounds just like my problem I've had twice before I don't know how I managed to corrupt my SD but I did ...by default the browser is set to download to SD card and because of the corruption it was unable to download anything to it I think the setting is in the advanced part of browser settings. I hope this helps

maybe you encrypted the sd , and when you formatted it the encrypt key was deleted , i'm sorry to tell you if that is true , you just lost your mem card
and try using your mobile specfic forum , as alot of members aren't that friendly here , and the forums rules are strict :good:
galaxy s3 download unsuccessful for .doc in Internet browser
Hi there everyone,
Thank you for your explanation above.
Please be patient with me as I am new to Android, having migrated from iPhone to galaxy s3.
I have been trying to download a .doc from the Internet. I tested my iphone, downloads in seconds and opens a open with box. Trying this file on the galaxy and it takes ages to supposedly download which shows as unsuccessful. Repeatedly.
Things I have tried:
Going into security and ticking the unknown sources check box to hopefully allow downloads from Internet - to no avail
I want to try the SD issue but I don't know the process to change the default download to settings.
Things to note
the file is super small
I don't have a SIM in
Connected to wifi - reliable
I am grateful for any help

Hello,
So I have a I9300 intl and after flashing a custom ROM i seem to lose anything that was on the internal memory, but it is still there i just can't access it.
does anyone have any ideas?

what do you mean?
At a guess you are flashing Aosp Roms and ending up with a sd/0/0/0 etc situation, so it pays to wipe sd card if you keep flashing so you just end up with the initial sd/0 situation where the files are easily retrievable, it's a pain in the ass basically!

with 4.2 rom like CM10.1 your sdcard is mounted in a diferently way because of multiuser functionality. So, you could access your things somewhere in /mnt if you have root and move them to the new sdcard mount point
In 4.2 sdcard/0 becomes your sdcard/, you can't access the root of the storage

Hello. I am really not sure if this is the right place to post my query. I am sorry if its not.
I recently downloaded PikaOS2 ROM for my CHD A116i. Everything seems to be working fine for 2 days. I am really loving the rom. Last night I downloaded NBA 2k14 from a torrent. It is about 600mb file. To my surprise there was just an apk file of that size rather then apk plus data which I was expecting. I tried to install the apk but I always get an error saying not enough space. My default write disk is external SD card which has a space of around 5 GB available and my phone storage has a capacity of 0.98 GB out of which 286mb is available. I have no idea why its trying to install the game on my phone storage even though I have selected external SD card as my primary write disk.
I was also wondering why is there another slot of internal SD card which has around 1.76gb space and not even a single mb is being saved there. From what I can see is that this 1.76gb of space is going waste as I have never seen anything being written or saved on this internal SD card.
Anyways, can someone please help me installing the game.
I tried posting this on the official PikaOS2 thread, but it won't let me post there.
Thank you in advance

So i am having the same problem with updating the apps and installing new ones which aren't that big. Now I read at several places that, swapping internal memory with external, theoretically should give us enough space to install and run all the apps. I followed the instructions and did it successfully. However, the real issue is still there. The thing is with Canvas HD, there is an additional partition created by the name of Phone Storage. After doing the swapping process, I realized that Phone Storage is still the same. Swapping only affected the internal memory and external memory.
My question here is, Is there a way i can make the Phone storage partition to increase (from vold.fstab, maybe)? If not then, i guess i'm stuck with this low memory since i have deleted all the useless app and cant delete anymore?
Try to use data extension of internal memory becoz m using it now
Now my internal storage is 2.25gb so u too try

I have rooted the phone just because I came to know it'll be possible to move all app and the data to the sd card after rooting and I can keep installing apps without internal storage space coming to and end. Now I dont understand how to do it. Somebody please provide a detailed tutorial or some link to such a tutorial. I am a noob, mind that.

I used folder mount and facebook application has 47MB of data. I set the from location as "storage/emulated/0/android/data/[req. folder]" (this is the internal storage) and to location was automatically created. It moved nothing to the SD card as the space before and after were the same on SD card. :/

If want to move user/app data (root>data>data) link from there, but beware because it could make the application unstable or slow.
Moving from (sd>android>data) will only move app data if the application stores it's assests at that location.
(BTW did not mean to thankyou)

Is there any alternative to link2sd? I cant pay for it (the plus version which has the data moving feature). And folder mount just makes fool of me and simply doesnt work. It does move but not in reality, no extra space on my SD card is consumed after it performs its job so its useless.

link2sd is far better than folder mount... u dont need to move it one by one... select all then link all thats it
I got the plus version. It seems to be nice as of yet. But it's kinda confusing. There are 2 options.. Move to SD n create link. Move to SD does the same job as the one available in the stock app manager. It doesn't move the data. When I use the create link option, it gives me 4 options. I check them all n create the link. This seems to be working. Does this create link procedure move all the data and app to the SD card? And leave nothing on the internal memory?

Titanium makes the backup to the sdcard first and then sends a copy to Google drive. Since theres not enough room on the sdcard it can't copy anything to Google Drive.
