My unit's main memory is 32MB. Is there any way to increase the main memory capacity. If yes, please let me know how I can do that.
My appology if this question has been asked before, but i could not find an answer in the forum.
thanks...

It's not a DIY job. www.expansys-usa.com/product.asp?code=XDA-032-064RAM&asource=105357
can do it for $132.95. I had a 32 meg XDA, but went for an XDA 2 rather than a memory upgrade though.

I have a class 10 32GB card in my phone and I do realize the GS II is leaps and bounds ahead of older devices like the G1 and the original MyTouch 3G... So I was wondering if there was still any reason for me to partition the SD card *I have a lot of dead space since I moved all my music collection that was on my phone to Google Music...*
If it's still worth doing what sizes should I set for the partition and the swapfile?
Do I need to run a certain rom to take advantage of this or will it work with all roms?
Or, should I not bother...
Also is it better to keep my apps on the internal memory of the phone or my own SD card? Which will give better overall performance?
Thanks.

And let me add to that, what if one has a 64GB card. Would partitioning increase speeds?
LOL. yes, also a good question ;-)
Can no one answer this?
I left my 64gb card as is. It's functioning quite well for me

Let me ask you this: Why was the swapfile necessary/useful on the G1 and other such devices?
Once you answer that question, compare the answer to your SGS2 and ask yourself if the answer still applies.
Then you'll have your answer to your original question.
Here, I'll save you some time. The SGS2 does not need a swapfile.

Thanks I think, I was hoping for more of an explanation though.
hello I would like to know the internal storage capacity m01m dell streak. What I see in the pages says 16GB storage, but my phone says 1.13GB.
Not trying to sound like a **** or anything but come on do you really need to be spoon fed to such an extent, the thread right under yours asked the exact same question.
@sanyokt4j: I guess he expected the answer to change between that thread and this one.
@disejey: 2GB, and as I pointed out in the other thread, had you searched a bit more diligently you would have found other sites besides GSM Arena that had the correct information. Sites like CNET and Wikipedia.

Nice one. ROLF...
I don't know if it's always been like this but, I just noticed that my phone is saying I only have 855 megabytes of ram. Is that how much there really is, or is a portion of the ram going to the gpu like if it where an onboard video card on a laptop?
Did you read the FAQ?
Obviously not..
Nothing in there pertaining to the issues I'm having. Am I posting this in the wrong forum?
Thats just the way it is. And I don't see anything in the faq related to this. Theres an explanation somewhere, but I can't remember where I saw it.
Actually, i have to admit, i don't believe i have seen this in the FAQ.
As it is, yes, most likely the difference in ram is that the GPU is using some for itself. This can be tweaked via the kernel, so its never a sure answer exactly how much is actually taken.
Isn't there also a dedicated allotment of RAM for the video recording and audio?

Here is a discussion on it in the i9100 forum, seems to elaborate on it a bit.

Hi, just received the phone today. I'm trying to put some apps and stuff on my sandisk 64.gb but using app2.sd and app manager there doesn't seem to be an option. The sd card is showing in settings menu as 59gb.
How can I put stuff on it?

Why would you want to put your apps on the SD card? There is masses of space on the phones internal memory you'll be hard pushed to fill it.

any good reasons for moving it to external sd????
btw looking at your post count i think you missed a bit of info. sgs3 uses the whole internal memory(11gb) for apps along with user data. so there is no need for app2sd
I just checked as well. I don't see that option with any of my apps using the Application manager. I'm using stock LEF firmware.

It's a standard Android option, so it should have been included in the ROMs that Samsung designed in my opinion. Some people would like to use their 11GB of storage for other things, but have a huge external memory card.....just a matter of preference, no need to insult the person because of low posts.

don't jump to conclusions and make assumptions. I have 32gb on my phone and have used 16gb for apps. So no, 11gb would not cut it for me as well as others. your use of a phone is not the same as everyone. You are not the standard.
Why must the op provide YOU with a good reason to? Are you some sort of phone police?
Either provide a useful solution or find another thread to spread your ignorance.

its not an insult mate.. he might be missing that info hence i conveyed it to him. apart from gnexus and sgs3 all the mobile have limited data partitions which forces the need for app2sd, thats not the case with sgs3.
there are already many threads for this same thing , if the op searched for it he would have seen that info.

can you tone it down???
your usage also wont set the standard for anyone, i just said the way how sgs3 handles apps.there is nothing wrong in asking a reason.
why do you people jump over in a friendly forum??

Because he wants to isn't a good enough reason? Since when does post count determine how much lurking/reading someone has done on the forum? YOU may not have a need to but many of us do, whether you agree or not.

first of all nothing is said in an offensive way but its been understood in an offensive way. If the op has read enough then why do he post a question thats already been discussed? a simple search would have helped him to get other members opinion.
i agree with the point that there are many who read a lot here but dosent posts.
btw, stay on topic and try helping the op if you can

theres some apps mentioned in this thread, none of which seem to support the S3 yet.

Hopefully developers will get this fixed sooner rather than later.
I don't have the device yet, so I can't really be of more help Im afraid.

It just gets tiresome hearing people try to dismiss the wants and wishes of another member just because they don't have the same. If we all wanted the same bs we'd all have iPhones for crying out loud. Embrace the differences!
I dont think 11gb is quite big for GAMES, i have installed max payne and its a 1.3gb game, some HD games dont go lower than 400mb.
So yes I need to move apps to the external SD. hoping to hear some updates about this
GL to SD
Guy until the developers find some solid solution you can use GL to SD app from market. It would move the Game Loft games from internal SD Card to External SD card. Although this app is for Game Loft games but it works for any game which install its data files in /sdcard/android/data or /sdcard/data folder.
Move them using the GL to SD and in the settings of GL to SD check the option /sdcard/Android under add mounted folder. Once done then price mount button the top of GL to SD app and then press menu and exit (don't press unmount and exit otherwise it would not work). This would mount your external SD card as /sdcard/android. If GL to SD fail to move the games to SD card then you can even do it manually by copying games data folder from /sdcard/android/data to /extsdcard/data and do the same procedure as above.
I am very poor in explaining things but I hope that I am able to explain it properly.
hi,
i read about a technique to extend ram via fast microsd card.
can somebody explain to me how i get it to work?
does it increase performance (switching apps fast!)
thx

Ironically, that is only from scrolling down the first page. It is really hard to convince developers and contributors to stop being so hostile to people over searching with posts that didn't even require searching to answer. Don't prove they have a good reason.
