I might have a stupid question, but nevertheless, where is the 4gb rom? I see that I have about 800mb ram and 1gb for storage plus the sd card, but where is the 4gb rom? Thanks.

That would be your 1gb. The system ate up a lot of it.

No, I'm not happy to see you, that's a Shooter in my pocket.
3D speed
Wondering how the speed compares to the 4G?
Way faster than og evo rooted and all, that 4gb was ate up by all these fancy dancy widgets and doohickies

it was my understanding that you had 1gb of free space but there was 1gb reserved for future rom updates....
rom updates...
waiting to be able to put on a Fresh Rom
So what you guys are saying is that I still need to move apps to the SD card? That's interesting. Its like the 4gig doesn't even matter. I must say that while I do like how everything is, I really don't use any of the widgets. Is there any way to clear them out without root?

3GB reserved for weather animations. hehehe
Your saying 1gb of space isn't enough space for your apps? Impossible. Moving them to the SD card is completely unnecessary unless you have like 400 apps.

4 GB ROM
This is the first time that I heard of ROM. As I understand it, ROM includes the space needed for the system to operate with additional space left over that you can use???

Anyone else having this problem. Sprint site says 4gb internal memory. I'm smelling some complaining for a credit bc of false advertising.
That memory is allocated.

I agree i assumed I would have nearly 4gb of available internal memory. I would love to have that advertised memory available to me. Its not a deal breaker for me due to the fact that every downloaded app is able to be saved to sd.

That memory is there as advertised. It's just allocated for different resources.

You think that's bad? I love the people who buy hard drives and are clueless who sizes work in terms of bytes and bits.
"Hard drive says it has 1Tb, WTF do I only see 975Gb? RAAAAGEEEE!!!!!!!!!!"
The RUU is only 400MB and only having 1 out of 4 GB is a little extreme... I'm wondering where the rest of it is too.

It shouldn't take that much space. Can't wait to root and firerat it to gain the storage back.

Can someone explain to me the situation with the internal storage on the Evo3D?
1. WHat is the actual total amount of internal storage in the Evo3D? I've heard
1GB, 4GB & 8GB....which is it?
2. If it is 4GB's or 8GB's, is there a way to access extra storage space?
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
I think internal is 4gb 1.2ish for apps and like 1gb for rom... Idk.. i'd like to know this as well the real breakdown on internal storage...

1.2 available, the rest is owned by the system. I am SURE somebody will get custom MTD going to free up the unused portion of the 2.8 allocated that is actually vacant space. Especially once we have ROMs that are 75mb vs. 250-400mb
If we could get the rest for apps... Apps2sd is not really needed... Right now i have like 200 apps and am a little over 750mb... I think it will take a while to fill the rest but i wouldnt mind some peace of mind..

Thanks for the input guys. glad to see im not the only one wondering about this.
If you flash ROMs to the 3d, on average how much storage is left out of the 4gb?
I know it depends on the ROM but just wanted to know?

What is the 3GB even used for, anyway?
The OS can't possibly take up that much space.

Think about it - The Evo 4G had Android 2.3.4, sense 2.3 or something like that and it only used 750 MB of the 1GB.
Imo there is absolutely no way sense uses 3 gb of space..but I can't explain where the Hell it is unless its partitioned for something else..I feel a little duped about that ..they clearly advertised 4gb..but thank god for SD cards
Its probably saved for future updates.
So since some of us have root would anyone like to share what was in the 3 gigs that we unrooted users can't get to?
boom!! from my shooter
The OS LOL, I think is just advertising no ROM that i know of has 3 gb free

Yes this is very misleading and shouldn't be allowed. They tell you 4gb and you only get 1gb. The photon advertised the same things 16gb internal and you only get to use 8.97gb. It's false advertising to me but it seems to be allowed since they are using it on the OS so that makes it ok. I was dissappointed by the low amount of internal memory when I switched to the Evo 3d. 1gb is a lot but it's still not enough if you are a appaholic.

The android system and sense take up a whole 3 gigs?!?? That just seems outrageous.
boom!! from my shooter
Not just sense. There is a partition that is a backup of sense. Remember when we were first temp-rooting? Any change we made got reverted on reboot. How do you think it did that? It copied over from the "backup sense" any changes that were made to the system or data partitions. That **** takes up space.
Is there a way to get that space,or are better off leaving it alone?

Since we now have root, can we Firerat the partitions like we did in the Hero?
well this is an easy fix if you have a large SD card.
i have my sd card partitioned out 2 extra gigabytes for data. makes up for the false advertising... which i totally agree, by the way, is utter bull****. they should tell you what you are getting in NET storage, not gross.

I'm not that worries about app space bit I also don't put them on the SD I was just wondering if there is like 2 gigs sitting completely unused. I only say that because 3 gigabytes is gigantic for sense sense and android. Unless sense really is that big. I'm not rooted I was on my hero but I applied the ota too early.

I just upgraded to EVO LTE and is very nice its fast quick beautiful screen very smooth but can't figure out what's is using my ram I'm using 400 and have mabe 270 left to used but when I combine those it doesnt equal 1gb of ram

htc sense use ram also i don't know how much but it's alot. Don't worry about the ram cause the system will end whatever you have open and not using to make more ram.

Possibly, but when I add my used and unused ram together I only come up with

I think I remember the EVO 3d with more ram. Like 720 something.
Well, there are plenty of hidden system settings. The number that you see in Task Manager or Settings is how much RAM that can be used for anything. The ram you do not see available is being used by things that are UNABLE to be removed from RAM because they are essential to the system running. That is the reason why we see nothing close to 1GB.same thing goes for computers, you can either see Installed Memory or you can see Usable Memory. Installed Memory on LTevo would be 1GB and Usable Memory on Stock would be around 670MB(IIRC) for me.

I noticed this also, coming from the EVO 3d (also with 1gb of ram) vs the 4gLTE. IIRC the 3d shows 804mb total vs 680mb. I figured it had to do with the 3d running gingerbread/sense 3.5 vs the 4gLTE running ICS/sense 4.0. My friend who has a galaxy nexus also with 1gb of ram, shows around the same amount of ram in the task manager.. either way I am absolutely amazed with this phone, not one issue or hiccup so far..
