how to unhide internal storage - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi every body.. sorry for long talk,
I have a redmi 4a device, used 64 giga memory card as internal storage, was working great untill suddenly the card was corrupted, and the phone no longer has internal memory, I'm unable to store any thing, even screenshot, can't see pictures on whatsapp, no camera, nothing.. I can only install apps from google store..
I inserted an identical mem card, formatted it as internal storage as well, but didn't help..
so I bought redmi note 8, tried to trnasfer whatsapp and other apps data using dr. fone, asked for root to access my app data, i did root my old phone, but now it asks to root my new one!!
my question: is there any way to unhide my stock internal storage? it will allow me to backup whatsapp on google cloud at least!
or is there any way to transfer my app data to my new phone without rooting it?
sorry again for the very long talking..

HTC HD2 - Android Nexus - Apps won´t install to SD?

Hey guys,
My phone is troubling me at the moment. Its a rooted HTC HD2 running the Android Nexus.
Now the problem is, that when I install an app from the marketplace it always installs it to my internal memory (approx 128mb) which by now is full.
My SD card has 10GB free space and only has music, videos etc on it but no apps.
I thought that once my internal memory was full it would automatically install the apps to my SD card but it doesn´t do that. It just wont let me download anymore apps and tells me there is insufficent memory.
How do I get it to install the apps to my SD?
Thank you!

EVO 3D App2sd and sd card

Hello!
I received my new phone(EVO 3d) and I just love this phone. Taking photos has never been better .
But to the point, I have a problem with app2sd and with sd card itself. When I moved apps to sd and in some time, those apps I moved didn't show anymore. I check in application tab and there they were but without icon of app just black img with android symbol and sd card next to it. How to solve this?
Another problem is with SD card. I bought gameloft games(Amazing spiderman) and it has 1.2gb download files. But phone got only 1gb primary storage. So I downloaded sd files over internet and moved on sd card and game launch without problem? How to does sd card works with this phone? I see when I connect my phone to computer there is only 1 disk for everything(with sd and internal). I had samsung galaxy s before so its a lot differend, because sgs had 5gb internal + 1gb storage + 16gb sd.
Hope someone can help
Cheers
The missing icon on app is something that was fixed with one of the Gingerbread updates about nine months ago. What ROM are you running?
When I connect my phone to my computer, it shows the full amount of my sd card as a drive. I do not even see the internal memory.
I have using stock 4.0.2 OTA since I got this phone 4 days didn't root yet cuzz this s-off etc. is kinda annoying to do(for now ).
However I fixed the problem. I was searching on google and someone mentioned that app2sd makes a folder on sd that you shouldn't delete! I did delete cuzz I needed space for downloading movie. So if anyone got this problem, dont delete folders in sd.
Cheers

Gionee Elife s5.1 - Internal Storage Issue

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!

How can i get more storage?

Someone knows a way to get more storage?
I have my sd card in this phone but i cant move the installed
Apps on internal storage to sd. Is it possible to
Have the sd card as the main internal storage?
Or somehow install apps there? If yes, how?
Unfortunately the m4 doesn't have adoptable storage or any other useful trick's to help you out but that doesn't mean there are no solution's however most solution's involve getting root access on your m4 then deleting some of the bloatware inserted by sony an your brand of service provider eg delete facebook and messenger and replace with friendly(a small app with FB and messenger combined around 20mb)
with root access you can install an app that direct's all future app's to be installed on your external sd card thus keeping thing's freed up in your internal sd card
So perhaps this is something you could look in to.

Z798BL Having trouble with moving apps to sd card.

Hi all!
I am using a ZTE Majesty Pro LTE Tracfone (Z798BL), and I am running stock android 6.0.1 un-rooted. (Can't update it. It just shows latest version.) ZTE blocks users from formatting SD cards as adoptable, but I was able to do so through ADB. The only problem is, only one app can be moved to the SD card. With the other apps, It just doesn't show the Move to SD Card button. Is there any way to move more apps to the SD card?
Thanks!:
How did you manage to enable Adoptive Storage on this phone? I really hate that they disabled it.
If you can help me enable Adoptive Storage, I'll check to see if I run into the same problem.
Some of the reasons why you can't move an app to external is because it might be a system app? I have Adoptive Storage on my old previous phone active, and I come to learn that I can't move every single app to external. It really sucks. At least back before Marshmallow came out with the feature Adoptive Storage, I used Link2SD. Now that, I vaguely remember being able to move literally every app but it was recommended to not move the system apps. However, Link2SD required root. Last I check years ago, they never updated it for Marshmallow.
Adoptive Storage I noticed only is useful because if it's a game your installing, it'll automatically be installed on the external MicroSD card, while everything else the smaller apps gets installed internally, and it's tedious to go to through each one to check if you can manually move it to external.
I honestly don't remember. I used some tutorial with adb commands. I hate that zte blocked this on this phone, and then send the phone with 8gb.
