my galaxy s2 says it has 11,50gb on his sd card and on his internal storage it says it has 2gb is this normal i am using the miuisp ics
Please help
Yes, normal for a 16gb model. Some is partitioned for the system, some is partitioned for app installation (the 2gb). What you are left with after all that is 11.5gb, that you can use for pictures, movies, file storage, whatever.
Thanks

Just FYI,if your friend doesn't have an i9100 as well, then it may be different.

As far as I can figure it, the GT Note comes with 16GB that allows 2GB for app storage.
Q1. Does this include the DATA for those apps. For example, a game with 1GB of data -- where does it store this 1GB of data?
I have bought and installed a 64GB SD Card. Fully recognized, formatted and
working great. I understand how to copy my own music and video onto that card but a few questions:
Q2. How can I persuade the GT to use the SD Card instead of the 2GB Partition?
Q3. Or at the very least, to use it for APP DATA?
I guess, I'm trying to figure out how to get the GTN to optimally use the GB I have.
Thoughts?
Most of the big apps and games by default put their data in the sd card. So dont worry about that!
Also check out APP2SD on the market, it should help u! Cheers!

You actually have 11gb of space available for games music docs etc. on the internal SD card. Go to settings>Applications>Storage use. At the top the tab that says "All" is showing you everything you have stored on internal SD card. At the bottom of that screen it says system storage, and the second number is showing you how much room you have available for system data in the partitioned 2 GB of reserved system space. If you click the "On SD card" tab at the top it will show you your apps installed and how much of the 11+GB of space on the internal SD card is remaining.
App data from games like gameloft etc will be stored on the internal sd card NOT the external (removable) sd card.
There is a way to swap the external sd to become your internal as shown in the GT-N700 forum here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454753
I don't see why it should not work on the att note too.
So basically what you have is 2GB of space partitioned for system files. And 11+ GB of space for Apps, music and whatnot.

That's true. And not in that 2GB of reserved space but in the 11GB of space on the internal card.
very useful info all - thanks...will try the N700 hack too.

I got around this quite differently on my last phone. I moved all the gameloft game data to a folder on my external SD and just created a symlink to it in the original location. I see it as sort of a cleaner way.

I tried it and now I don't have access to neither my external or internal SD cards. Left a message on the thread to see if anyone has any ideas. I made a backup onto my external card, but because it won't mount, I can't copy it back over. Restored the phone, but it didn't help. Even typed in the info from the original "AT&T" file and that didn't work. Both types of storage are showing "Unavailable." Some of the info in the script lines is different from the international version.

I'm fairly certain that you can't do that. The internal memory in your phone is actually internal memory on your phone and the external sd is actually an sd card. You can't just transfer memory from one to the other because they are physically different devices.
It's like trying to add a 4GB flash drive to your computer's hard disk, you just can't do it.

Yes, you can. By enabling swapping, you'll buy memory size at the cost of memory speed. This question pops up every week, and a quick search would have given you an answer like this.

Hm.. you can try using SD_Ext. Its a partition that can be used by apps to store Android apps, cache, etc. (Normally found in /data). I'm not too sure about the procedures, but you could do a google search on it. It basically requires you to resize your sd cards partition, add another partition, and requires some small mods to your current android system. (Installing an app, etc.)
Try here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750888 and google for sd ext'
EDIT: If you meant extending your RAM, follow kuisma's post. But if you meant extending your ROM or Internal mem, this post applies to it.

You are both correct, but talks about different things.
You can not transfer physical memory from the SDcard or internal NAND flash to RAM, but you can use them to increase the virtual memory.
Hello. I've been having a problem with my SGS2 i777. (СM 10.1 NIGHTLY 2013/02/07)
My phone mount external SD Card (32gb), but does not use a memory card. I can't unmount SD Card, because unmount button is not active (See screenshot), and I can't move programs to the SD Card using the app2sd. (Sorry for my english, I have a basic level.)
Please help.
You might try formatting the SD card in your PC. I had a similar problem back when I first rooted my phone and that worked for me.

Then you should be able to use it properly with move to SD option in the Applications Setting. If that is what you are trying to do.

No, filled internal SD card for 16gb. On my phone 16gb internal memory, and external sd card 32gb and the sd card is not filled.

I know this issue has been covered many times on the forum but I couldn't find a proper way to solve it.
I am having a Galaxy S2 running official jelly bean 4.1.2.
I don't know why Samsung has partition the internal storage this bad :/
It only gives us 2 GB for installing apps from the play store and currently I'm running out of Internal storage because I keep a lot of apps on my phone. I can't even move any app (not even a single app) to USB Storage. I always get the error that "Unable to move app. Not enough storage space."
I got around 6-7 GB free in my USB Storage so there is a lot of space there.
Is there any way to increase the Internal storage (2 GB) to a bigger size 3 GB or 4 GB or a solution so that I can transfer the apps to the USB storage?
Thanks in advance.
Usb. Is were the Rom and kernel ie running system is. Sd card is were you keep apps and things and ext sd is well ext sd card. If you have 7gb free then you put them there. Why would you want to put them in Usb. ? Usb is for running system not for apps. Sd card is for that.

I dont have an external SD card plugged in my Galaxy S2. Just the internal 16 gigs. is all I have
What space is left on both pls. only part of the apps will be moved to Usb. Why do you want to fill up Usb??

On my phone, if apps are moved to sd they exist on the external SD card. Maybe that's why it says you don't have enough space, because you don't have an external sd card? I guess any small one would do, no need to splash out for a 64GB one...

I got your point mate. You meant that I must need to have a external micro SD card to move my apps?
And in this case I can't move them to my USB Storage?

The internal storage is almost full just some MB's left there out of 2GB. And the USB storage got enough 6GB-7GB left. I want to fill up the USB so that I can download more apps because at this moment,my internal memory is completely full and I cant download any app from the Play store so that's why I want to move them to the USB storage.

I just checked on my phone: with external sd card I can move apps to sd, without I get the message you mentioned. So either use an external sd card or a ROM that allows you to use the internal sd card.
Okay thanks for your help.
I guess I need to buy a 16 gb micro SD card. Can anyone tell me how much a good micro SD card costs? With a speed that won't be causing problems so that I can play games easily without affecting the speed.

If it's just the storage (as in sd and internal sd) it should be ok, if you can't save anything to the internal sd, then just formatting it should fix it.
