on the other hand , i have memory card with free space
is there a way to use this card as internal memory ??
No. You can try installing the programm on the memory card, but for running it, the internal memory will be used....

cant use sd cards as application memory
because
sd is much much slower
because
sd's have a limited nr of writes before they die kinda like cd-rw discs
Hello all,
I recently had to reformat my 2GB SD card, and now it only shows up as a 1GB. I have low-level formatted the card as well as all the standard formatting methods... Is there something I should know about these?
It's a Sandisk.
most probably fake??
the duo pros are on ebay say 4gb but really 2gb , it only shows once formatted , just a thought ?
There are fake cards on sales these days. They changed the `section` of the card to make it appeared 2GB on a 1GB card. I can't remember formatting the card will make remove this `section` or not.
Anyway, have you ever had more than 1GB of stuff in your card? Although these cards can report 2GB, it will cause error when you have data of more than the actual capacity (eg more than 1GB on a fake-2GB-1GB card). If you did have more than 1GB stuff on this card before, probably you need to find some other method of formating it (card reader? FAT system?)
Interesting. Formatting it from Linux would only give me 1GB, but when I put it back in the PocketPC, it formatted to 2GB just fine. And yes, I had put more than 1GB of data on it before. Well, thanks for the suggestions, and I guess this case is closed
I'm coming from a phone with very low internal memory to one with 16GB. My question is around all the app data and where it would go in a phone with 16gb internal memory and not SD card.
Reason I ask is I would love to have all my apps stored internally and use my SD card mostly for music/pics..
Would this work or will apps put data in the SD if one is present.
another question would be what would happen if I have no SD card for a while, then I introduce the SD card..
All the data would be kept on the internal storage, which would be seen as a internal memory stick. If you put a microSD card in then it will store some data on the SD card but you could move it back by going to settings>applications>manage applications>on sd card
This is my question...I thought that is a good idea to swap internal storage and sd_card...so I could use the real sd with media and (finally) apps...but I ask you if someone has already done it and if after that swap the phone is more laggy...I think that the sd card (even of class 10) is slower than the internal storage...but I can't figure how much slower is...can you give my your opinion?thanks
Hello,
I recently bought a Lenovo A820 and am currently using LambdaROM 2.3.5a. My phone has 4GB of internal space and I have a 8GB microSD card in it as well. My internal storage is running low, but my internal sd card is empty and cannot be used, because I've all things on the external sd. Is there anyway to merge the internal sd card with the internal phone storage? I've searched long and hard already, but found no concrete information. I know I can swap memories and even link my sd card to the phone storage. But my internal storage is 4GB which only 2GB are being used for the phone storage and 2GB are partitioned to the internal sd card. I would like to merge them into the internal phone storage, if possible. My question is: is it possible? If so, how can I do it?
Thank you.

Hi
You cannot merge virtual internal SD and physical external SD into one volume.
However you can probably swap it - which should solve all of your problems.
Your phone has MTK6589 chip, so the process will be similar as on my Snopow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2777140
After the swap external SD will be visible as internal SD and the other way round. That means you can buy 64GB SD card and have all this space available for installing apps because phone will see this card as internal storage.
