You can perfectly use memory card to increase storage space by turning to a professional partitioning tool as well as Link 2SD. In general, people who successfully increase android storage space via using memory card do 3 things very well.

1. First, they prepare some necessary tools as follows:

 Android phone must be rooted.

 2 GB or above memory card with class 4 or higher.

 Memory card reader.

 Excellent partition software.

 Link2SD app installed on the phone. This app allows Android phone to use a part of the memory card as internal memory, so users can move some data and apps to the memory card.

2. Second, they partition SD card.

3. Finally, they use the SD card to get more free space.

a) Step 1: Partition Memory Card:

To use a memory card as an internal memory, you have to partition this card since the Link2SD app requires a second partition on memory card. And, it's not working "out-of-the-box" as native app2sd, you need to root your device and create a second partition on memory card.

Remove memory card from phone, insert it in card reader, and connect it to computer. Launch the partition management tool. Right-click the memory card and select “Delete All Partitions."

This will delete all data saved on this card, so please back up everything before doing this step. Click memory card again and select “Create Partition" from the left action panel. Select the partition as primary and specify its file system and size.

b) Step 2: Increase Internal Memory by Link2SD:

After partitioned memory card, you are able to use its second Ext2/3/4 partition to increase the internal storage of android to store more data and apps.

 Insert memory card back to the Android.

 Download and install the Link2SD app. This app needs root access, so this trick would only work if you have rooted phone.

 Open Link2SD. Then it will ask for .ext partition that you created earlier. Select the Ex2 or Ex3 or Ex4 (used during partition), and then click OK.
