Ive got an 8GB memory card.
I've removed a hefty portion of files which in my head should leave the card under 2 gig used, however the system seems to state ive used just over half.
I cant find any other files which may use this kind of memory useage - any suggestions?

one additional almost newbie question ... I have managed to put some large capacity mp3 files on my 256MB card from lexar, one over 90MB and another two - 40GB and 25GB respectively .... the thing has been though that almost overnight they have been played few times on my XDA with PPC2003 system installed ... but few hours later dissapeared form that SD according to some unigue feature
files 20-40MB are remain in-tact, only the bigger ones have been affected
any help on that??
regards,
monika
I've been prowling websites, SE's included and I find contradictions on the amount of memory - internally and the amount of the internal storage (not microSD) in the X10.
Most sites seem to suggest that there is 1GB of RAM memory. The OS/Firmware takes up 384-400mb ROM.
There are sellers who say that the X10 has 8 or 16GB of internal storage. There are others that say it's only 2GB. I think that a lot of sites are confusing the microSD with internal storage. Rogers site seems to suggest 8GB internal storage and ATT says 2GB.
The Samsung Galaxy S seems to come with 16GB storage and a 8GB card at ATT.
The X10 they are selling seems to be with 2GB storage and 2GB sd card. (SonyStyle is selling the X10 with a 8GB card incl.)
Could someone clarify this? Is it just confusion with the SD card or did ATT order up the X10 with less internal storage than the rest of the world, guarantee that 'geeks' wouldn't be as interested....
From what I've seen they're all the exact same hardware wise, and the internal memory is the same. Was supposedly 1gb internal memory in the phone, but not sure if it's actually true, or if 1.6 limits available system ram.
The x10 from Rogers in Canada comes with 16GB card installed. (They did a few months ago anyway)
1GB ROM (internal mem)
384MB RAM (used when phone is on for programs and tasks)
"practically" unlimited Storage (mem card)

I don't understand the 'practically unlimited' part. Isn't one of the reasons that people want Eclair/Froyo the ability to store apps on the memory card rather than the internal memory? And the better message auto-management?

"practically" unlimited storage was regarding size of memory card you can use in your device, which as of now can be max. 32 GB.
That´s 3rd point..first is internal memory (ROM), second is operating memory (RAM) and finally third is external memory (MicroSD card)
who partitions there sd card? any benefit to doing it?
who installs apps to the sd card? besides capacity issues of the native memory onboard the phone any advantages? what is the method to install apps to sdcard? any misgivings about such a practice?
thanks

It could be argued they run slower on the SD card. Needless to say this phone has plenty of onboard storage for apps. And some apps don't support the SD card. The only apps I have on my SD card are the incremental backups from TiBackup.

I completely agree with nerozehl. Put everything on your internal storage.
Another con of installing them to SD is that, if the app is important, then your phone won't function "properly" when you plug it into a PC under some configurations (like when your PC reads your phone's SD card). Important or not, the apps installed to SD will most certainly not run in those scenarios.
I can't think of any reason to install the apps to your SD Card unless you really insist on installing like 500 different apps and you use up the internal storage, which is incredibly unlikely.

Wow, your HDD only weighed 10-20 milligrams??!
Typo aside, keep in mind that EOL on the TBolt will be in ~1.5 years (and that's probably stretching it). You're comparing storage from a system ~25(?) years ago, not 1.5 years ago. The 8GB (actually 4GB) of storage will last that 1.5 years just fine. Even if you try, your phone will run like crap before you fill up that storage.
My Steak comes along with 1.6G phone memory but now my phone memory has only 159M left behind.
I have moved all the apps that are movable to the SD card and clean up the cache all the time.
I wonder if there is a way to see what are saved to the phone memory?
Many thanks
Take a look at https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage - I think it does exactly what you're looking for
You're not confusing internal SD memory with RAM are you because 1.5 gigs worth of apps is like unworldy unless what you have is a bunch of games on there. I have almost 200 apps on my Streak and they don't take up but 900 MB
I have a Samsung Galaxy light, and it is rooted. Yeah, this is a relatively low end phone that cost me about $50 a year ago, but it still sometime seems a bit slower than I think it should be unlocking the lock screen, or loading apps.
I used the app Android A1 SD Bench to benchmark the SD card and internal memory. Here are the results.
Exteral SD card ---------Read 37.1MB/s Write 11.88MB/s
Internal memory--------Read 12.31MB/s Write 1.62MB/s
SD Card (see note)-----Read 19.39MB/s Write 2.26MB/s
Now I'm not quite sure what the SD card item was, the total size was identical to the internal memory, but with a 20MB difference in free space, so I assume it is some other reference to the same internal memory, but it somehow performed faster.
Either way, you can see, according to this app at least, that my SD card is way faster. Any good ways to take advantage of this without getting too overly in depth?
