My Droid Incredible says I only have 20mb of space for apps but I have 3gb free of space left on the phone. I also have an SD card with 12gb free of 16gb. Why does it say I only have 20mb free for apps?

The partition in stock for apps is only 1GB. There is a SD swap mod that will allow app storage on SD by jose51197.

I just purchased a 16GB Flyer from BestBuy and in "Storage" it says that I have 3.8GB free. WHAT THE HECK! Where did all my memory go?!
I have the same problem too.
Do you have and sd card in the device?
Also please post a screen shot.
The internal storage is partitioned into tablet storage and internal storage; you have access to both so by adding them together, you should have about 12 gb of usable storage. The remaining space is used up by the system (Android & Sense).

Correct:
I think mine said 3.8gb free for app storage and 8.3gb
free for internal storage.
Also have a 32gb card, so another 30gb available

Question... I have a 16 gb card in mine, and I'm using aTorrent and am unable to find a way to download to sdcard... Very confusing as I can see the folders but it doesn't show correct storage amount
Not sure, since have not used aTorrent. Does it allow changing download directories?
3.8 gb is used for apps the other for music and files and last little bit is used for system files its partitioned the way htc has it. I don't know of anyway to change it wish I could or wish I did know how too

Is the memory still partitioned app storage vs internal file storage (music, files, etc.) in HC 3.x or does it become one storage area. I'm deciding on whether or not to get a HTC Flyer off of eBay.
Yes, it is still like that in HC.
galaxy s2 have 2gb space for only apps.....if the apps occupied total 2gb memory of that space...then where the other apps can be installed......???
is there any method for removing that apps installation limit guys.....??????
That's what the sd card is for. Bigger applications/games utilize the sd card to store their files.

no bro........whats my question is breaking the certain limit of apps installation..........because many apps not supporting apps2sd that i hav installed....some apps can be moved to sd they are moving to external sd card instead of internal memory....
so i am getting huge bootloops when sd card inserted...if i removed it phone is normal....
Use titanium backup if your rooted and long press on any app that's not apps2sd by default then you should be able to move them to your SD card
Not sure if I've ever heard of anyone using up all the 2gb with apps. I have about 150 user apps and still have over 1gb left.
That's because app data for large apps is stored on the SD card, for example with gameloft games which on their own can be over 2gb (like 9mm). Only a few MB (the actual app) goes against the 2gb partition.

I have installed also about 150 apps and have used 1.4/2 GB for apps and my sd card is 5.6/11.5 GB. I'm wondering if buying a removable micro sd card will it increase my app storage limit to above 2GB?

Nah it wont. The 2gb for apps is part of the internal memory and is set. You can however move apps to SD with titanium and others. I pretty much ran out of internal SD (the 11.5gb part) due to gameloft game data. But then I installed 'gl to sd' from the market. It allows you to move game data files to external sd card. 9mm itself frees up 2.2gb from the internal sd.

I'm really confused after reading through a post. The poster stated that there was only around 1.75mb available for app storage. Is this phone really handicapped down to under 2 gigs for app storage? If so, that's sad. It'll be returned before I even open the box. Two large size games and you're out of storage.

I answered you other post. It really does have a ton of storage! That is GB not MB All the preinstalled stuff proabably took it from around 2 GB down to the 1.75GB that someone mentioned. Hell you can put a 64GB micro SD card into it and download as many games as you want!
I haven't gotten a chance to play with it much yet, but if it's the same thing as my Skyrocket, it'll be around 2gb for system storage, and 11.25gb for internal storage. Apps will be stored in system storage, while app data will be stored in internal storage. Even large game executables will be a max of what...50mb?

I think this is what is getting me. I have an LG thrill right now. I have a 32 gig SD card and I can't move actual games to the external SD card (the one taht you buy at the store taht you store pics and videos on).
But on the Thrill I have 6 gigs to move apps to.

Well, most yes. But I have some Gameloft games that take from anywhere from a half a gig to a full gig.
I think you have about 11gb free for songs, music, etc.

That's much better. That I can deal with.
"One of the plagues of using Google’s Android platform was the inability to install Android apps and games to the SD Card versus internal memory storage; with the official announcement of Android 2.2 this feature will come standard. By default, apps will continue to be installed on internal memory storage, however a quick visit to the list of applications in the Settings menu offers one touch to move the app to SD Card. Thus they are playable just fine from the SD Card. Now user storage for apps and games will only be limited to the storage of the SD Card purchased."

Not true of all devices running 2.2 or above. My Thrill won't move any apps to the external SD card. I bought a 32 gig just for this purpose...to have plenty of space. The move was limited to the devices app storage (around 6 gigs).
hey all,
just wondering what's the difference between using the "phone memory (1.8gb)" vs "internal storage(25gb)" for apps?
i'm new to this phone (just arrived in the post this morning), and didn't realise the internal storage would be divided in this way.
to be honest 2gb for apps is still plenty really
so am i better off keeping all my apps on that 1.8gb section, or should i try moving them to the 25gb storage?
While u still have some free space in phone memory (internal) let the android decides. I still have 900mB in the internal but some of my games are installed in internal storage (sd card)

I guess, there is no harm in utilizing your 28GB internal memory and freeing your 1.8GB phone memory...
I'm moving every APPs to internal memory whenever they are possible...
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
Should be fine if you install everything in your internal memory, games that take up a lot of space can go to external to free internal memory. Be aware that some apps don't behave well when they are in the external memory.
My xt1521 is very low in memory I just use whatsapp and spotify in it and still the storage is full. Is there any way to minimize the system apps and free some more space in internal memory only 990 mb is available for uasge

Uninstall the apps you won't use from system, use memory card as internal storage to get some more memory. Try cleaning Google Play service it could provide upto 500mb of memory.

what, really. Only 1gigs out of 5gigs is usable which already gets full in only 2-3 apps. Now I've given up and started using mem card internal storage. And I'm going to buy a new card but it will be slower than the inbuilt emmc storage.
