Hello Everyone,
It will be nice to get help from users who understand better than me the Android system.
I come from iOS, and bought 1 week ago Star Note(2?) N9776 MTk... jelly Bean Android phone.
The mobile is fun to use but, as i install some applications from the GStore,
I am also learning the functions but don't understand exactly :
The system says i have :
Internal storage (500MB)
SD card (16GB)
And Telephone storage (1.80GB) completely empty
Problem is that it is just impossible to use my apps or install some like facebook, games...
all the softs install on the internal storage ... . Why ?
Is the internal storage also the RAM used by the system ?
Why cannot i use the Telephone storage for the system and the apps ?
Why is the phone storage empty ?
If the internal memory is the RAM used by the system, why isn't it possible to use the phone properly because it is shared why the apps ?
I use now the SD memeory for the apps, but the internal storage is constantly uesd and saturated.
The system and telephone is really slow, i am asking myself if the internal storage is same as the RAM used
To run the system properly.
It is not possible to use the phone at this condition, i can't even add applocations, and the system pops me up alerts
About full storage and funstions desactivated.
Is there a way to fix this ? Put the system on the phone storage ?
Have a complete freedom of the ram, just for the system use ?
If i take back the factory datas from the system, will i have the ability to choose the right memory ?
It is not clear to me, so if you come near this post, please give me a hand about it, it is hard to understand the memory problem
From an iPhone user like me.
Thank you
I have the same phone and that has become an annoyance to me too. The supposedly 4gb in the phone the manufacture partitioned in half to be used as app data. The phone is now left with 2gb for the system and apps. So unless you are one of the only people in the world without an sd card, the phone storage is completely useless and have to install or move all your apps to sd card to gain space on the system partition.

I don't know if this has been posted before (I've searched and didn't find anything) but I"m not able to get my full 16GB on my Razr VZW. Is this due to bloating? If so how do I get to the full 16GB???
If this is double posted I apologize!
It's a total of 16gb of memory within the RAZR, but it's partitioned across the internal SD card, internal memory, ROM memory, and for the OS as well. You also have to remember that formatted memory will be less due to how the file system allocates it's blocks.
For my phone, this is what I got:
634MB System ROM (where system apps are stored)
3.22GB Internal Memory (where user apps and data are stored)
8.59GB Internal SD Card (more storage for pictures, etc)
The remaining is probably allocated to the OS itself.
So, you have 16gb of internal memory, but about 11.81GB is available for storage by the user. You can't use all 16gb of memory because the phone needs that for the system ROM and OS.
If my memory is correct the Razr 16Gb internal storage is partitionned like this :
8Gb : user space
4Gb : apps
3Gb : OS + cache + webtop
Thanks for the quick responses. Anyway to get rid of the motocast/vzw popup that comes up whenever i plug my phone in? its pretty annoying

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In the bottom right of your PC screen, you should see an icon for this. It might be hidden, but usually Windows will show it immediately after connecting your phone. You can right click on it and tell it what to do when you connect your phone. One option is to not do anything.
It defaults to launching the Motocast video. I immediately told it to do nothing.
I recently rooted my Android phone which is a china smartphone and i found many advantages with rooting my phone.
I currently installed link2SD application so that i could be able to link my internal memory to my SD memory so that i could free my internal memory. This resulted in being able to download various applications that before i couldn't as i didn't have enough storage on my internal phone memory. \
Yesterday i went to use my camera app and i got an error saying that i didn't have enough phone memory available so i went to Settings>Storage and noticed that i actually had 2 partitions in my phone excluding the SD card. I had a Partition for the phone and another for the internal. My question is, is there a way i could remove my phone memory partition and allocate the space to the internal memory?
Sorry but im quite a noob and new to this forum, any help is greatly appreciated,
Sincerely, D.
I am having Gionee s5.1 phone with 16GB storage (no SD Card support) running on 4.4.2 Android version. The phone storage divided into 2 sections:
6.25 - This is called Internal Storage. Android version is installed on this with pre installed applications.
9.75 - This is used for media storage and currently no file or images in this storage.
I have uninstall all the unnecessary applications (Pre-installed) from the phone and keep only Cleanmaster, Whatsapp, Facebook Messagner and imo. I have automatic update of apps is off as well as from google play store.
Now the problem is, when I bought this phone it has around 2.3 GB space available and a week back, with above configuration and application, it shows mes only 471 MB space left. I have gone through each and every application manually and removed the cache also used Cleanmaster for the same but no help.
Someone told me to do Factory Reset to resolve this and I do last week. At that time my internal storage back to 2.63 GB free of 6.25 GB allocated and I am happy. Again I configured my phone with above software and disabled the auto update of apps from google apps a week ago. Today, when I go to Settings -> Storage, it shows only 400 MB space left of 6.25 GB. I am not sure what to do and how to deal with this situation. I googled solutions to deal with it like root the phone (King root used) and use Link2SD or App2SD to move the apps but those app said SD partition not mount. I tried minipartition wizard to partition for 9.75GB as shown on the various blogs, but my phone shows message of Corrupted SD Card. No luck...
Can any one let me know how can I merge internal storage (6.25 GB) with phone storage (9.75 GB) to use the phone without any issue? Or
How can I use the Phone Storage as Internal Storage and move applications to Phone storage?
Urgent help is greatly appreciated...
Same problem after i updated to lollipop.
Is this thread resolved?
I have the same mobile phone.
I used to be able to move apps to phone storage ( built-in sd card) but when i upgraded to lollipop, the "move to phone storage" button was gone. All my apps were saved in internal storage and so my phone is running slow.
Anybody know how to solve this?
Thanks in advance!
So i had serious memory issues, like out of my 8gb 5.2gb was used for system data and 1gb for the default apps so i barely had room for ads , so i bought an 16gb sd card but i couldn't move all of the apps i barely could do anything on them(i dont really take photos/videos so they didn't take more than 10mb maybe). I didn't even have space to get the marshmallow update but i did some reading an apparently in the update i could adopt my sd card as internal storage and the only con was like slower speed but i don't really care for that myself. so i did a factory reset i updated to marshmallow erased my sd card memory before factory-resetting and when i finally opened the phone with 6.0 installed and went to my storage options and in sd settings all there is is eject and format, not format as internal storage, help??? also excuse me for horrible grammar/punctuation.
Right now after resetting i already have 6.2gb used out of 8gb and i didn't install one single app its all just after resetting.

Not all Marshmallow firmwares / phones offer this capability. You should be able to force it from following this:
