Thought I would share my find for the night.
Since the Athena comes with a miniSD slot, you can't use a SD sized card nor device...unless you use this adapter.
I don't have one but have read reviews and they were good.

Could come in handy for someone that needs it or just for play.

Looks a nonsense to me. See the pictures of the nokia with "that thing" in its side... come on... how are you going to use the phone that way.

I never said it was comfortable. I just said it's available for anyone to use if they want.
You'd be amazed what some hackers can do with a little adapter like this. ;-)
Edit: What about taking out the MD and setting a 16GB SD card internally for the device...just one possibility. Not saying it's the best thing to do, just a possibility.

AMEN... I agree... looks amazing.
Looks pretty cool.
Do you supposed this would work with SDHC cards? and What about SDIO?

With some hardware and software work yes.
I recently purchased a 6GB microSDHC and put it into an adapter and am now happy with my extra storage. ...until I run out.
Hi. I have one! I am an Android noob, but would like to give back where I can. Living in the wilds of Palm for as long as I have any tidbits are valued. If anyone wants/needs this ROM please post me explicitly detailed instructions on how I can capture this ROM and post/submit it to whomever. I dunno if this is a unique device given the 32GB storage, but would like to help if it is.
Just purchased today in Taiwan.
GT-I9100
2.3.3
I9100XXKG1
2.6.35.7 I9100ZSKG2-CL361136
GINGERBREAD.ZSKG2
Anything else anyone wants?
i want your phone.
Oh I've been waaaaaaaaaiting for it so bad my spleen's swolled up!
That said, I can easily get more, and would be more than willing to send them to anyone who wants/needs one. It costs NT$22490, plus shipping to you plus maybe a bit for myself as it takes honky me longer to execute on the simplest things here in non-honky Taiwan. I had to pay NT$2300 last week to get on the waiting list to get a launch day (today 8/5) phone which was refunded, but I doubt that hurdle will be needed now. They had about 20 at the head office of the incumbent telco here in my 1,000,000 person city.

What about mine ? Ive just bought 64gb version with 5"screen and love it so much. Hehehe
this post should be in q&a or general?
Pls think twice before posting in the wrong section
I posted there too a little chattier since I thought I had a unique device here. But as I say in the OP I post here to know if any dev wants me to send them this ROM. It may not be valuable, but I felt I needed to ask. I'm sure it'll be moved or deleted if people above our pay grade deem it so. As for the sale thing, again, it might be a tool for a dev, my Palm ethos demands I try to give back. It was a much smaller community and the best dev lived in a country that didn't even have access to devices.

Isn't there a external sd card in it also? It says total USB storage not sd, can't see the bottom of your phone so it could be jacked in to a external hd

Sorry, one of my all time favourite SNL bits is Richard Pryor and Chevy Chase going around that meme. I have to say I've been here for a decade. Every time I walk out in public some one manages to get a laowai off near me. So I wear honky as a badge of honour.

Just came across this while looking at daily deal websites.
Looks like a decent deal and comes with a handy looking USB card reader and SD adapter.
The deal is now dead.
Hmmm sounds and looks like a good deal .. should I do it?

Well, that's all up to you.
If I didn't already have a plethora of micro sd cards, I would probably get it.
Just figured I'd give the fellow EVO 3D users a heads up, even though there seems to be quite a few other micro sd deals going on as well.

hey can you post more links of other micro sd deals? i cant find any lol
i think i might invest in a samsung 32gb class 10. or if i can find a good trust worthy 32gb class 4 or 6, ill get one. that samsung 32gb class 6 looks a bit sketch lol

There were a couple threads in the EVO 3D accessories section here on the forum. Those were the ones I was talking about.
If you had the Verizon S3 (not another carrier)
Can you please compare :
1. Audio Quality
2. Reception (which drops more calls or fades in and out).
3. Battery Life (preferably battery life based on total talk time than surfing or playing games).
Hmm I don't even have to own the DNA to answer
1. Call quality has always been great for me on HTC
2. Samsung cdma radios don't compare to htc
3. Battery life has,been stated to be the same or marginally worse than the gs3.
Gs3 is a great device. Prob gonna come down to what u like better, sense or touch wiz. But DNA should be a very nice device.
I'll be able to share more once I get it in my hands this coming week, should be here by the 20th 21st the latest. I love my S3 nothing wrong with it but I love new devices and keeping up with technology. I will say off the back build quality has always always been better with HTC.
I'll share more once I get the phone!

As far as 1 goes - MANY of their devices had problems with BT over the years - you could hear fine but the person you were calling would get reduced volume etc - some of them they fixed this issue with firmware updates.
As far as 2 goes, the EVO on Sprint was great - the EVO 3D had similar problems to the S3 for reception.
When some people get the phone, we'll hopefully have some detailed analysis of talk time comparisons.

Forgive the blunt nature of my reply, but what part of "If you had the Verizon S3" was it that didn't quite come across as clear in the original post??
Well, the DNA isn't even out yet, but I'm definitely switching from my S3.

Pardon my blunt nature when I say that,you asked a question pertaining to a phone that is not officially available so you must have asked this question in an open forum hoping the 4 or so people that have the device would reply
Take my advice with a grain of salt then but I am sure it will be an accurate answer to your question about this mythical phone until its release date and the masses own it.
at what point do I have to currently own the gs3 to be able to tell you about it. Maybe I have had extensive hands on with the device in such extent that I feel I can accurately talk about it.
I pre ordered mine, will get it soon. Only thing is that I wont be able to move my microSD card from the S3.
I just hope that ifixit teardown will reveal a hidden sdcard slot in the back some where then I will be happy.

You've doubled down on your ignorance. I am not the one that asked the original question.
Aside from that, take a look around. There are plenty of people that have already received these phones, and have been doing reviews on them. I think his question was quite legitimate, and think this thread would be better suited to include responses that are directly related to his question, including my own, which is why I'm dropping this now.

Its not that there is no room, the general consensus is that verizon requested not to have one to make people use more cloud storage and thus more data.

Yes, but someone is selling a micro sd card specifically for the DROID dna leading to some speculation that the slot exists, just no opening for it.
I for one would be willing to open it up to put a "permanent" sd card in there.

Just because someone in china put droid DNA in the title of their ebay listing in hopes to get more sales doesn't mean there is a slot for it.

This. I find it extremely likely that the board is the same as the Butterfly's meaning there's the pins for a sd slot to be put in or possibly even an actual sd slot that isn't accessible from the outside, yet there's no way that ebay seller knows of this.
Alright so when is somebody going to open one up??? Lol

Hi all,
I'd like to replace the internal memory with a huge one, as big as possible.
For example instead of having a 16GB or 32GB S4, to walk around with a 1TB version. How cool would that be
Is there any way the chip can be soldered off and replaced by a new one?
I'm prepared to brick my phone, I just wanna try it.
I can't seem to figure out the model number / manufacturer's SKU of the memory chip.
Any and all thoughts are welcome
I don't think it would be possible. The phone is probably setup to recognize the 16 or 32gb in the software. I'm sure that could be changed though. It would be a pain in the butt I'm sure to desolder the old one and put the new one in. Small components and very delicate. Can't use to much heat. It would be worth the trouble if it works. Would be very interesting to see if you could make it work if you find a chip.
There are quite a few reasons why this would not work.

You wouldn't be able to solder the chip as its surface mounted .
Wow thread fail. Close thread
For starters already started solder and the software implementation of that kind of storage would be difficult to do as well. So if you can solder as good as Samsung motherboard makers and right better code then Samsung and find 1 tb micro sdcard size to fit in the board then I say go for it!!
But really wow lol

As someone said, it is surface mounted, you won't be able to do that. Even removing the old memory without screwing up the board will be extremely hard.
And... 1tb? Are you serious? The maximum capacity for single chip NANDs doesn't come not even close to that.
Get yourself a 64gb micro SD, it's the only way.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
The fact that you even think you could have a 1TB phone leads me to believe you have no clue how to solder something effectively.
lol
I just wanted to bump this to the top of the list again, because I think it's of such great importance. We need to find a solution to this. Forget that online storage.

The sheer complexity of micro soldering. The physical size of the NAND that the op has wishfully postulated. The interoperability of specific NAND with the mainboard. The fact that the new NAND would have to have information written to it before it would even be bootable.

I have access to techs at a friend's company that could do SMT work, but I'm not about to sacrifice my phone Some said there is a software check, where would that be?
Just the practical aspect of de/re soldering a surface mount chip...
I'm a jedi master with a fine tip soldering iron and I wouldn't try this unless it was my only hope to get off a desert island or something.
My father, who I learned from, and made a good career of fine electronics repair before whole-board replacement became cheaper then component replacement, even he didn't do this, not even to replace a $5 chip with the same chip on $50,000 boards. I do remember him pulling it off exactly once tinkering with a VCR back when they were new technology. But chips were different then and had much larger pins. Surface mount chips today don't even have pins. They have contacts that are sort of glued with a conductive cement; can't be removed, period.
Best of luck to ya but understand this is a fools errand.
I bricked my phone in attempt to get 1TB, YOLO!
(pro tip, the HDD barely fit)
I don't know what's worse...the fact that you think this is possible or the fact that you're prepared to break something that probably cost you around $650 for fun.
Hi, my GS3 just died. Apparently the motherboard is broken. I really need to recover the pictures in my internal memory card. They should have been uploaded automatically to Dropbox but somehow they did not. I just had a baby and would be really sad to lose all the pictures I took over the last months.
I know this isn't exaclty the appropiate thread, but as you're talking about removing the internal memory chip, I wonder if that could be done so I could read the memory once it's not on the broken board anymore
Thanks in advance. Please don't be rude if this sounds idiotic to you, I'm just not an expert
