I have a simular problem with a Digix Tab730 recognizing 26Gig of a 32Gig card I have installed as extra storage. This tablet is suppose to have 4Gig onboard storage and expanded memory of up to 32Gig. When I go to settings/storage I see 2 listings for internal memory (added together they do NOT add up to the supposed 4 Gig). The first one listed seems to hold the "operating" system and the second holds most of the apps according to their color coding and space allocations below each drive. The 32 Gig card shows as "exsdcard" but the size claims to be only 29 Gig. I understand that some of a drive is "allocated" to use by the device, but since this drive does not seem to get accessed by the system why would they "hide" part of it.... or is it that the entire tablet can only recognize the 32 Gig of user space (3Gig internal and 29 Gig external)?
I have never bothered maxing out the sd cards in any other device I have ever owned so this is all kind of new to me.
This also raises another question ..... All the posts above refer to Honeycomb as having the issue of not allowing you to save/run apps from the external memory, but what about Android 4.0 ? Was this suppose to be resolved ??
Like I said I have a Digix Tab730, but it has a charging issue and will soon be replaced by another cheap tablet. Hoping that the new one will not have an issue saving apps to the external memory. Does seem kind of pointless to have the memory available if it won't be able to be used by apps. I had not really planned on using the tablets for much as far as music/movies/pictures. Would much rather have it able to run apps.
Thanks for any answers you can offer me.... I do understand that this thread is a bit old.
