Well used you should be capable to get the combined storage app space of the internal and external sd
I have installed asphalt 7, tdkr, mc4, vice city, amazing spiderman, nfs most wanted, wild blood just pointing the heavier ones (20 games right now) and I have 5.3 gb free on internal sd plus much more on the ext
I'm already counting that your phone is rooted, your external sd is a good one for game performance and you know what you're doing to get this working

I already tried many of these programs, also "GL to sd" but everytime I want to play a game I need to mount the SD card in the app in order to play, that was very annoying. I have now bought 16gb sandisk class 10 and I dont need to worry about the storage anymore:good::victory:

It seems that you missed some of the updates of the app, when you mount it ONCE it kepps there always, there's an option to set on boot and auto-dismount /re-mount when you plug / unplug from PC so no worries at all at any time, since I first insalled that app 3 weeks ago I never went back to set nothing, why would you mount and unmount each time? or is another app which you are talking about

I've tried searching this issue with no luck, surprisingly! I thought it would be more common.
Anyway, when I boot up my Nexus One, it takes <Sandlot>FOR-EVV-ERRR</Sandlot> to mount my SD card. I've got most of my apps on that card, so it's super annoying!
Like I've said, I've got a bunch of apps (40?) loaded on to this card, a few documents, 4 CDs... random stuff. I haven't formatted the card in a looong time... nor have I wiped the phone in a loooong time. I am a crackflasher - I flash a new ROM every day, but I VERY RARELY have issues, so that's why I haven't wiped in so long. This is really the only issue I have, and, if somebody knows the command, I would be happy to just mount the SD manually through the terminal when I need it to.
The phone is a Nexus One. I'm running a CM7.1(or whatever it is) based ROM and kernel. The SD card is the 16gig one that came with the phone.
Any help is appreciated!
Billy
Cliffnotes: What's the terminal command to mount the SD card to the phone? So the ROM can access it?
Ok, so I guess I diagnosed this issue... after rebooting my phone and waiting for my apps to become available I was able to, through the settings menu, view the space used/available on the SD card. Sooo... it is mounted? And the delay is just Android loading the apps from the SD card? How can I speed that up?
Thanks,
Billy

Have you tried increasing the read and write speed of your sd card?

Thank you for the reply,

You increase the read/write speed by increasing the SD card cache size. You can use an SD speed boost app to do so easily, there are a couple on the market. There's also a script that you can run.
I had a similar issue. I've been running the same rom for over six months, and initially just flashed updates over the existing version and only wiped caches. I'd strongly recommend that you go ahead and perform a full wipe. It may seem like a pain, but I am 95%, certain that it will fix your issue. Just backup your apps & data with Titanium Backup and after you've completely wiped & flashed your new rom only restore what you need. Weeding out unused apps should speed up your phone as well. You can always restore them if you need them.

Hi, I've been wondering why my P500 on the stock rom 2.3.3 has been taking about 4 minutes to boot! Well I just tried booting without the SD card and it booted up in about 30 seconds! Does anyone know why? most of my apps are on the SD, I also have some music. But the SD is 16gb and a class 10 from SanDisk.
Any incite would be a great help.
Have rooted the phone s3...but am unable to move apps to sd .
There's a method but seems too complicated...
Any other ideas anyone or is it for the best to leave apps on the phone in the case of pics
You have an app called app 2 sd on play store. I think it will work.
btw: are you from Dubai??
Nope does not work....as far as in have read its something thats not possible on the s3 so far...due to ics.
Neways they say its better this way....
Yes akhiiiiii....i am from Dubai......
app 2 sd may not be needed in s3 . as the sgs3 use the whole internal sd for data + user files there is no need to move it to sd

I've been using my SGS3 for 3 days now. 16GB internal +32GB external SD
So far:
- device memory total space 11.35GB & available 1.65GB (downloaded my Google Play Music collection, went straight to internal memory, no choice)
- SD card total space 29.71GB & available 29.71GB
What I hope is happening:
is what I've been reading about but no proof... the data is being distributed somehow between both cards and it just doesn't show, OR, the internal storage has 11GB dedicated to apps & music and what-not, and once that is used up, any additions will be moved to the external SD
What I think will happen:
"You have run out of memory, please remove some files or apps to proceed", in a typical Microsoft moment...
I was prompted only once to install stuff on the external SD; those were additional files (250MB) that needed to be downloaded for a game I had just installed. Of course I chose external SD but it doesn't look like it worked...

Was shocked when I got my S3 and saw it didn't supports app2sd. My friend has almost filled up his 16GB internal with apps. His 64GB SD card can't even used for apps at this point.
I am keen to see what happens with this SD card business. Why have the SD card if your apps cannot utlise it. e.g using rdio and 16gb for offline storage and games and movies etc is simply not sufficient.
Any solutions as of now?
Is there any market app that ha been proven to work or any ROMs that have this enabled?
This is very inconvenient........
help
has there been any movement on this issue as my internal is full, i have a 16gb sd but from what i have read us with the s3 can not move apps to the sd card, please help,, thank you

Hello. I am running very low on RAM (internal memory) on my Original Droid RAZR. I am aware that there are root apps that use SD Card memory as RAM. Some apps are: "RAM Manager" and "Swapit RAMEXPANDER by ROEHSOFT". You can get them in the Play Store.
Video of one of the apps:
Will this actually work? Thanks.
wait...ram or internal memory?? ram can't be changed but you can increase your internal memory by swapping it with your sd card...in razr its easy to do so...you do need root though
you do that by changing the "sdcard-ext" to "sdcard" and sdcard to sdcard-ext"

Sorry, I am getting them confused. I meant to say Internal Memory. So I can just swap it with ALL of my SD Card space? Or can I choose how much? and with what app do I do this with? Thanks for reply.

He is trying to use some extra storage space on his sdcard as a sort of page file or swap file to give him more memory for the OS to run in I think. Who knows with people, myself included, interchanging the terms memory, RAM, and storage. I do it, but it is inadvertant.

Yes that is exactly what I want to do. Is it possible without root?
No its isn't!
After rooting you ccan make a 'partition' on your sd card that will be assigned to the phone memory. You can use link to sd for this and make partition through CWM...once you read about rooting youll get to know about CWM..so search around this forum..

Friend ensure that the drivers are installed correctly, if not successful, perform desinstação and restart your notebook and install the drivers again.

Yes. I know you're going to tell me to use the search or google, etc. But believe me when I say I have tried a lot already.
I'm getting this error when I try to install or update almost every APK on my Android. SOME will install or update and I can tell you there's nothing to do with file size. The storages seem to have plenty of free space, apps install smoothly when I factory reset my phone, but after a few days I start getting this annoying error.
I'm running the latest Nightly build from CyanogemMod for LG p720h (Yea, it's not stable and I know I should expect some... erm... bugs). It's Android 4.1.2.
I know the Internal Storage is emulated and have tried many many many fixes I found in this very forum and all over the internet. I'm a game developer so I know a few things about adb shell/logcats but couldn't find/understand anything analizing those during an APK install. I can provide logs, etc.
Can anyone help me find out how to solve this problem? Any idea of what's going on?

Is because your phone doesn't have enough ram(storage for apps) to hold those apps. If you have an sd card you can use AppMgr III (App 2 SD):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd
You can move apps to either internal or external storage

I was able to install this app but it didn't work, it says the primary external storage is emulated. The Storage manager says it has 548mb free space on my internal storage which should be plenty.
And even if I uninstall an app 50mb big I can't install other apps, even if they're 1MB or less. I don't think it has anything to do with "real" available storage.

apps don't use internal storage, they use a partition inside the internal, which is why you dont get all the storage on the box.

It's not related to log files too, I can't even find the log folders.
I would like to start my own personal conversation about this because either every other one I find has no conclusion or just falls off
I have low storage space is what my phone says and when I look at it.. Its tiny.
As IN
142 MB small ... The worst part is I have a 64gb SD card and that literally helps nothing in this situation
And then when I go into ES manager it says I have at least 3 gbs. but whats weird is Safestrap says 6 GB open for another rom if needed
Which I checked and I only have one active so thats good there
So where can I go to free up some space
PM would be GREAT or google hangouts or something

Are you booted into a Safestrap slot (i.e. 3 Gb)? How many applications are you trying to install on top of the ROM?
You're mixing numbers up a bit, so it's hard to tell what you're seeing.
Safestrap is reporting 6 Gb free: that's the amount of internal storage that's available for new slots, which is only available to the stock rom.
When you build a slot using Safestrap, it's fixed in size (3 Gb) so if you load a lot of applications on top of your ROM, you can fill that slot up very quickly.
The ES File manager reporting 3 Gb - is that booted on the stock slot, or a custom ROM slot?

Here are a few pics of what I see
That 15Gb of "Miscellaneous" files - do you have a bunch of ROM images on your internal memory? Or a bunch of nandoid backups?
Other than that, using the Disk Usage app that decaturbob mentioned is a good tool to use to discover where the storage is going.
Holy sh*t 15 gig of misc. Definitely use disk usage. You can keep clicking through until you see what that 15 gigs is made up of. I think ES let's you do that too.
