Apps moved to SD card still reserve a space in the internal memory

One of the features most appreciated by many in the update of the pacifier should be the ability to move applications to the SD card. Now, a lot of apps is also installed with their data on the default SD card.

But when this is done, the same amount of space is always reserved for the internal storage, which fills up very quickly. As a result, there is not enough space to store several apps over no matter how large a SD card installed.

The amount of space available to the user also decreased, with Lollipop itself, compiling applications through ART and some new bloatware. There is not enough space to do much any more. The user is left may 7 GB, some of which must be reserved for the slack. "16 GB" storage is not enough.

I asked for an explanation.

When you move an app to the SD card in Android, Android only move as described apk file here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/install-location.html. It's standard for Android and non-specific for our devices.
The path to the ÖBB for example knows the app so if you were to move the app can not find. In my view, there are also security issues involved here because it is a removable storage and the file system used.

But it is possible that some phones use alternatives for applications but I got a little curious when you say that it works on Galaxy S5 and S6. I know a person who has both and asked him to test and S5 has not moved the ÖBB and the S6 does not even support the external SD cards?

  • Playlists spanning the internal memory and SD card?

    Anyone know how to point to songs on the card or on the internal memory?

    I can create a playlist that can access only files on memory in-house so it playlist is kept on the 'rocket' or on the SD card if the playlist is maintained on the SD card.  I can't understand how to have a playlist saved about the ROCKET on the SD card.

    I don't need anything fancy... just need to know what path qualifier I put in my path, m3u.

    Thank you

    Cartman

    You can also create yourself these .pla playlists. Apparently you just need an empty file "playlistname.pla", and a text file called 'playlistname.pla.refs' that contains a path per line, with the prefix /mmc:0: for the internal memory or /mmc:1: to the memory card. For example

    /MMC:0:/music/somesong.MP3

    /MMC:1:/music/someothersong.MP3

    Too much work of the backslashes for the rest of the way, just the first character must be a slash. And the file should BACK line breaks, UNIX line breaks do not work.

  • New 4 GB Clip + empty shows 8 GB card when the internal memory has more than 10 files

    If I have more than 10 files on the internal memory, external 8 GB card will appear empty. If I format the internal memory and does not add any files, I see everything on the external card. MSC is set and PC, I see all of each drive.

    Any advice? I had rather not return this if I can make it work.

    Thank you.

    Initially, this was resolved by a reupload 1.02.15A firmware. But the problem comes back.

    I went to the RockBox firmware, and it works as expected. I'll check the next official FW and see if it has not changed.

    For now, I'm happy with RockBox.

  • I moved it to the SD card, why still do 30 MB (and growing) internal memory?

    I see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=615519 said CHECK FIXED the profile data should be moved to the SD card as well as the application and about: hide-and-seek said should take only 10240, but Android noted as taking 30 MB internal memory (1.75 MB app, the rest for data).

    When I went in: config and set browser.cache.disk.capacity to 5120, Android has reported its use 25 MB. Yet there are 20 MB reported missing. What can I do?

  • If the internal memory is full, he wrote to external cards?

    I have a sansa e280v2, and I was wondering if it it will record when internal 8 GB of storage is full? How does it work?

    This is the way most people are unfamiliar with these things assume that it works, but no it's not. You need to direct (or transfer) the files to the location of a memory or the other (the player's internal memory or external memory card).

    Using MSC mode, you can simply drag & remove from your computer where you want to store the files. In this mode, your player will be considered just another device storage (such as a USB drive) and your computer will assign 2 different drive letters, one for the player and one for the card (if there is a card inserted).

  • Transfer pictures from the internal memory on a PC or SD card

    I have an Alpha A3000 camera and would like to transfer pictures from my internal memory to my PC or SD card.  How can I do this?  Thanksk.

    Hi samsmom,.

    I do not have the A3000, but based on other Sony devices, usually when you are in playback mode, you can go to the image you want to copy, and then open the options, and there should be a copy option.

    In the main menu on the Preview tab settings, I'm pretty sure that there should be a copy option to copy all images from the camera on card.

    Regarding the connection to the PC, your USB mode should be MTP or something in that sense, not mass. Mass will detect the memory card if I remember correctly, one should allow the computer detect the camera too.

    But as I said, I don't have the A3000 - my answer is based on the use of other Sony cameras.

  • Camileo S10 - Arcsoft doesn't recognize not all files on SD card and internal memory

    I just bought a Camileo s10 camcoder.
    So far, I was pleased with the product until I connected it to my pc (vista compatible with recommendations).

    I installed the Arcsoft software, but I've never had any file import because * the program recognized the sd and internal memory as void * (I could read the files in the drive of the camera, as well as my pc card reader).

    I have used other similar suites with no luck. Then I tried to format sd hc 8 GB card and restore my files but unfortunately I noticed * video/foto files not recognized at the time, even from the camera *.

    Another concern is that I had a trailer (720 p) hd .mov file in my memory card and the camera could not see (+ I wanted to use the camcorder as a player HD plugged into my sony full hd tv +).

    I looked for answers almost anywhere, but so far I have had no response

    Hello nikfam,

    I also have a S10 Camielo, installed the software Arcsoft on Windows Vista and I am able to see images and mov files if I connect the cam via usb cable or if I insert the sd card into the card reader.
    He shows me the internal memory and the data stored on the card (Class6) 8 GB SDHC.

    Maybe you need a card with a higher class. Where did you try to format the sd card? On the inside of the camera or on your pc?
    Please take a look at the right format.

    Have you tried another usb port? If you use a hub, check that there is enough power.
    I downloaded both trailers 720 p and saved on my sd card but my S10 couldn t see too.

  • Android update 6.0.1 impossible to format the SD card internal memory cannot move the app to the SD card

    I've just updated to Android 6.0.1 yesterday evening and I realized a lot of things has changed. I can't access my store apps on the SD card in Android 5.1.1. I was able to move apps to the SD card on 5.1.1 to free internal memory. Update Marshmallow supposed to have better functionality. It can mount the provided internal memory SD card I have to formatted as internal memory. I have bee playing around with my phone all day and I made during the liberation of Sony, they do not have this feature. I've been YouTubeing autour and found in 6.0.1 in the submenu settings/storage/SD card, there should be 3 possibilities. Eject, Format and format the internal memory. That's what Miss me. Also if you insert the SD card for the first time, it should appear a notification asking you what to do with the SD card. He don't ask me. This is a feature known with Marshmallow. My phone have 16g, it won't hold all my apps, which was the reason why I spend a few apps to SD on Android 5.1.1. So what's happening?

    I have also factory reset my phone and format my SD on my computer, it still doesn't work. He only treats like a portable storage.

    @CameronT

    Problem solved

    I don't know that it's a bug or not. the reason why he did not move the app to the SD card was because the SD card has been beyond 32 G. Since I was a 64G with a total of 59G free. It will not transfer.  So I downloaded my photos, music and videos to take 1/2 of the memories. Now I have 29G left, restarted my phone and transfer of applications very well. go figure.

    A solution has been published on Androidcentral.com

  • Motorcycle G 3rd GEN cannot transfer files from internal memory to SD card.

    Hello

    I recently bought this mobile and updated the marshmallow immediately. I formatted the SD card to internal storage and I have no problem to move applications (a little), but I'm unable to move or copy the music or files.

    There seems to be no the mobile option (settings > storage & USB), since the applications themselves (like Google Play or Gallery), or from the camera to set the default value for the storage location.

    I tried for hours to check in different forums, but I'm not able to find anything conclusive.

    All I can do is Exchange of files between my PC and the internal memory, but I can't access the SD card in the PC (I already read that it is impossible, as it is encrypted), but what I didn't expect is unable to do the same between the internal memory and the SD in my phone.

    Anyone has a solution or explanation or why I can't do this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Oh Hi, me again.

    I found a solution and I want to post here, just in case someone has a similar problem.

    Apparently, the first time that I formatted my internal SD card it was didn't appropriately. I don't know why, but it happened.

    From settings > storage & USB > SD card > tap the three vertical dots on the upper left corner and choose "as portable Format. I advise you to remove all apps before do it for return to the internal memory of the mobile. Once empty to proceed, you can choose the same menu last for formatting as internal (again). Follow all the steps in the procedure to move the files to the memory of your mobile phone to the SD card.

    I did and I can transfer files from my computer it, music, videos, photos and everything.

    Great!

  • Camileo S20 - do not use SD card, internal memory of only

    Anyone could be useful...

    I have a S20 Camileo and you have inserted a HCSD class 6 8 GB card.
    However, it is only using the internal memory (about 50 MB) and will not recognize the SD card.
    In the settings there is a choice of "Format"... I chose 'YES '. This does not alleviate the problem.

    I also have a Canon T1i with HD video movies. The card has worked wonderfully in this camera is not a card problem. Unless it must be formatted to the Canon and reformatted for the Toshiba. I'm a novice at this.

    Is there something I'm missing? It seems that it should recognize the card or receive a framework to use the card.

    Thank you for your help.

  • HX400V - Help! -How can I copy photos from internal memory to SD card or computer?

    I'm mystified by the simple procedure to copy pictures from the internal memory to an SD card in my Sony HX400V, or at my office. I see nothing in the instruction manual or online on this subject. Looking for info on the previous model, the HX300, I discovered a 'Settings - memory card' function, which doesn't seem to exist under 'Settings' for the HX400V. If anyone can help?

    Unlike the HX300 the HX400 has no internal memory.

    If you take a picture with a HX400 who doesn't have a card inserted, it will store the photo in its buffer, and when you insert a memory card, the HX400 will immediately transfer the photo in the buffer on the memory card. If you take a picture of a second before you insert a memory card, the first photo will be scrapped and the second photo with stored in the buffer.
