When the most recent system update have became available, I was unable to install it due to limited available storage. My Teracube2e has 64GB, of which 61GB is used. Most of that (43GB) is tied up in apps. I could uninstall and just learn to live without a couple of them to make room for the 1.3GB update (as I did for the previous update), but I will hit this same limit again in the near future, since updates just keep coming. Is there a way to increase storage capacity in this phone? Or can I delete previous updates without endangering the phone’s operations? Or is there another solution to this problem? Thanks.
you can delete previous updates, in the updater settings (three dots menu in the top right), you can even tick “delete updates after install” so it’s done automatically
Buy a SD card. The max capacity this phone can take is 128GB. Buy a brand-name , high quality one. Look for fast random access, usually marked as A1.
Insert it in the machine . You need to remove the battery for this.
After boot, format the card as internal storage. You have android 15 based e, this is possible (it was not possible for a while). Your phone will then have a total of 192GB storage.
Note - a bug: after this, the complete phone storage will have the name “sdcard“ and some apps will see this as 128GB. However, your phone will recognize it as 192GB.
The phone will ask you if you want to move some stuff to the SD card part.
It will install new apps either on the SD card part, or on the original internal storage. It will show you where the app is in the settings/apps section. If an app is consistently slow, move it to internal storage.
If you implement this, let us know how it went. I have been using this setup since the phone got the A15 upgrade , it seems to be working .
