Hi everyone.
I recently bought a Tab S6 with 128 GB storage space and want to share it with my wife. The problem is the following: With my "primary" user account I can use all of the 128 GB. But the "secondary" account of my wife only has 8 GB allocated to it. And unfortunately, it is already full. Is it possible to increase the disk space she can use (e.g. to 32 GB)?
Thank you very much for your help.
I'm facing the same problem on this device. Has anyone found a solution yet?

mine XDA I having total 32MB memory allows for moving memory tab in
start/settings/system/memory
between STORAGE and PROGRAM options so that it divides in-bulit memory but .... I am curious about one thing, I have just noticed that today - if I assign too small amount of memory for STORAGE (i.e. it automatically put the division tab sback in a way that memory is split in halfs (50:50) considering current utilization od PROGRAM part
the question is .... is it a limitations imposed from OS manufactirer ??

I want to ask. Is there inside lumias or any other WP7 a 15gb!! Partition?
If there is any, can it be accessed and are all things in there useful?
I am asking maybe the partitions can be rewritten and use that space to make our saving space for apps and photos bigger.
Thanks

of course there is, but it have been used by OS
and the lumia 710 is 7G
I guess its possible to create another partition on the NAND. The problem is that you have to remove the space from the OS partition, so the space available for WP decreases. But theoretically it would be possible. However I heard that Windows has some issues with multiple partitions on removable devices.
So the OS is 15 gigs? Sounds very very large for a phone OS. Ok the question is, is it all useful, can't we reduce in size and add up the freed space to end user data storage by repartitioning the whole system.
@dewe what do you mean 7g? You mean 8gb storage?

The 15gb partition contains both the system and user data, so you will get less space in WP7 by resizing it.
Hi,
i have a little Problem with my Prestigio MulitPad 8.0 Pro Duo (PMP5580C DUO).
When i use Quick System Info PRO it shows a total RAM of 870MB (instead 1GB in tech specs) ??
Is there anyone with this Tablet who can try this APP and show me the result of the total RAM ??
Or shpuld i think this tablet is broken?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Don't worry your tablet isn't broken, android automatically reserves a portion of the total memory for low level system related tasks, so while there technically is 1 GB of RAM because of the reserved memory it shows up as 870MB total being useable.

Wanted to let everyone know that copy.com is giving 15 gig of free cloud storage. They have an android and PC app, and perhaps others. Those were the important onces for me.
And, if you refer someone, each gets an additional 5.
This is my link to give me an extra 5 gigs (https://copy.com?r=lM1dg2) . Would be great if someone (or a few) could give me some extra storage space.
Thanks

Hello,
I am working on an Acer Iconia B1-A71 at the moment.
I managed to unlock the BootLoader, thanks to @FireDiamond ) & I also managed to root it, thanks to @entonjackson ).:highfive:
Now I'ld like to increase the memory dedicated to applications.
I know that I'm able to swap internal & external storage, but what I'm willing to do is increase what in the settings is called "applications memory".
Talking with a friend we thought that repartitioning internal & application memory, & then swapping modified internal with external memory, would grant lots of application memory & lots of internal memory.
Is this possible ? what should I use or do to achieve this ??
Thanks to all the comunity!!!
P.S.: More specifically:
App 1GB, Int 5GB, Ext 30GB =Partition=> App 5GB, Int 1GB, Ext 30GB =Swap=> App 5GB, Int 30GB, Ext 1GB.
My useless opinion:
So, what will you do with that increased memory? I thought only about games with large cache like Dead Trigger (about 0.7 Gb) or apps that require a heavy amount of memory like cSploit+MetaSploit Framework+Ruby (about 3 Gb).
Did you know we need another resources to get apps working, like RAM and CPU? That's why I bolded RAM - we need to increase it first!
I did a little research earlier:
(tablet status) — (free RAM in standby mode, total is 480 Mb)
1. Full stock RV04RC04 — ~90 Mb
2. Stock, DVM heap 30 Mb, Smart Launcher v2 — 130 Mb
3. Same as 2, but with removed bloatware and stock launcher — 150 Mb.
Now let's check minimal and optimal requirements for some apps:
Minecraft PE — 64/128 Mb (passes)
NfS: MW — 100/250 Mb (passes on minimal graphics)
GTA: SA — 300/1024 Mb (passes veeery laggy on minimal graphics then crashes)
DJ Studio 5 — 500/1024 Mb (btw it passes, so strange!)
Firefox (even Beta) — ?/? (crashes on second opened tab)
Also, when playing some heavy games you can see that ugly LOW MEMORY sign in edge of screen.
What we need to make:
1. Custom kernel with another compression and enabled 2nd CPU kernel (it's disabled forever with stock one).
2. ROM with a high RAM economy, so we can use free RAM in heavy apps.
Unfortunately, I don't think we are able to do it, because there are no many developers who ready to work with Iconias; anyway we have devs, but in the most cases we can't co-work because of "language barrier". I know some guys from 4PDA, they can look on the B1-A71 if I ask them, but we need more than only 2 russian devs to make all that stuff...
Now about your problem with memory swapping
Use google: android create vold fstab
@FireDiamond
I know that RAM is needed & I noticed it had quite a low amount.
The owner ( a friend of mine ) wants to have a bit more app memory because by installing the few apps she uses, it fills up pretty fast.
She uses it to read some pdf, browsing & play low level games as Fruit Ninja or any Saga game.
I'm searching now on the keywords, thanks for them.
Probably it would be enough to set 3GB for App & 3GB for Int storage, though if possible, it could be more usefull if I also did the memory swap, in which case the "Ext" storage ( = Int memory left out of App storage ) would be useless since there would be an "Int" 30GB.
That is why I thought of giving everything to App memory.
EDIT: I searched a bit about thevold.fstab & I recognized that it is usefull for swapping, which I will do following an other topic. What about resizing interanl memory partitions ? Does anyone know what I could use ?
