Its important to note that you never have the full '8GB' as with all memory when manufactures state a size it is using 1000MB = 1GB when this is infact wrong as its 1024MB = 1GB so this would lower the memory a little as computer software reads memory in the correct way.

@cubocik:
As Uruk needs 500MB for the OS and under normal installation 1GB for Data, you have to live with less memory.

[Q] Memory..

Hi all
About the phone memory.. (not SDcard memory)
I think it has 170 MB user available of the total 512 MB RAM, is this correct?
The 170MB user available are for apps and android OS storage?
Can this be more balanced so I can install more apps ?
If so, what can happen if the 342MB left, became only 312 if the 170M are raised to 200M.
Where are this 170MB mounted? (if they are mounted)
Is the memory partitioned like an disk is?
Thanks

The 170MB you're reading about is flash memory available for the user (even without SD card).
It has nothing to do with the 512MB RAM in the phone.
So I have 3 completely separate kinds of memory
The 170M of user memory (for apps and OS instalations?)
The 512M of RAM (used like PC RAM?)
And SD card
Is this correct?
If so, I think there is no way to increase the 170M since it's a separate memory.. correct?

Absolutely..
...Absolutely correct..

Please explain to a newbie the memory/storage

I understand on a PC memory is for active stuff and storage is for keeping things you need but can pull into memory for actual use.
If I go to task manager on this phone, it says total memory 803MB, used 588 - free 215MB.
Then it shows all applications 26MB
How do I see how much of my storage is in use? Is that 26MB of whatever sized storage card came with this phone?
ROM vs. RAM?
Thanks
That's showing your RAM, to see how much storage space your phone has left go to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Storage use
Thanks - it says 8GB 5.5GB available. Internal storage .93GB.
Ever since these tablets and phones came out "memory" seems to be the generic term for just about everything in the device - RAM, ROM, NAND, EMMC, SD...
This is actually not different from a pc so why is the term memory used so freely? Traditionally RAM was/is considered memory. In the phone NAND is the ROM or flash memory. emmc is the internal storage. Sd is the external storage. But they're all called memory, even in spec sheets. Technically I suppose they are all memory, but why not address them with differing terms?
At one time they'd list it as 512 RAM/512ROM or flash rom. And storage would be called storage or sd card. It would save a lot of confusion and arguments that I've seen where two people are correct in what they've said, just incorrect in answering the question asked.

Yup the SD card has the green hornet in it, and the internal memory is like a 1GB free when you get the phone
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d

[Q] SD Card Preperation

Hi All,
My new phone comes next Tuesday... Yippee!!
d
Anyway I have read all I can on rooting the beastie and now I have a question about the SD card...
What size SD card is ample enough for any apps that I may need 8GB, 16GB, 32GB..?
I know this is dependent on how many apps I want but generally what's the norm?
I have looked in to backing up using titanium backup and can follow the partitioning exercise using Gparted (have already done this on a HTC Desire).
How much EXT4 am I likely to need in total?
Are there other apps that use the EXT4 on the SD card?
Does App2SD use the FAT32 partition or the EXT4?
Thanks in advance

Samsung Galaxy SII, Soooooon!!!
Okay so you'll get
2GB internal PHONE memory
16GB internal SD storage
Apps will be installed to the phone's memory. (from which about 1.2 gb is left due to system software)
Android's standard A2SD does save you some memory, but meh not too much if you ask me. So that external SD you're buying is seriously just an addon for lets say Music and movies.
Because you can store a lot on the internal 16 gigs (which has only about 13-14 gigs available)

[Q] Storage space on tablet - confused

Hi!
I have a Colorfly e708 Q1 tablet
According to the specifications it should have 8GB storage...
According to the tablet's system’s settings/storage menu, it has two internal storages (one being 1.48GB, the other being 3.76GB)
Now, I was wondering whether the two internal storages, the sum of which is 5.24GB, equal 8GB what is written in the specifications?!?
5.24GB = 8GB ?
In the android system's settings/storage my tablet shows this (yes, two internal storages are shown here):
internal storage
total space 1.48GB
available 1.29GB
internal storage
total space 3.76GB
available 3.70GB
I presume this means, that the system and installed apps take up 0.19GB and 0.06GB (sum 0.25GB) space from TOTAL and the available is what is left for me to use.
Now then, DOES this tablet HAVE 8GB or NOT?
Or do I get it wrong? Does the android system take (8GB-5.3GB=) 2.7GB space (?!?), which is absolutely not visible nor manageable for me?!
Then what takes up the 0.25GB space? All the installed APPs seen in the tablet’s settings/applications menu use 188MB, I added them together
In the android system's settings/applications menu the tablet shows:
RAM 262MB used 479MB free (sum = 741MB; this should be 1GB according to the tablet's specifications... but at least this is near to 1GB)
internal storage 188MB used and 1.3GB free (sum = 1.48GB)
SD card storage 58MB used and 3.7GB free (sum = 3.76GB)
I don't have any external microSD inserted into the tablet, so the so called SD card storage is an internal storage as well, as the settings/storage menu showed earlier.
So in my opinion the 188MB and 58 MB (sum = 246MB = 0.25GB) is the space which the system and pre-installed apps used up.
Someone told me, that tablets like this one, have system restore partition, and other partitions I cannot see, without being rooted. OK, but if the whole system takes up 0.25GB, then why would such partitions need 2.7GB?!
Or where is 2.7GB?
I don't think that my other hypothesis, that the android system would use 2.7GB, is correct ... And also that situation would rise the question (for me) mentioned earlier: what is the 0.25GB?
Please help, because I'm thoroughly confused.
If I plug in the tablet to a PC, it sees only 3.7GB capacity.
In my opinion, (what I would call "storage space"), this tablet has only 3.76GB, that is cc 4GB storage . But mybe I'm not right... I don't know
PLEASE HELP!! I bought a tablet, that was declared to have 8GB capacity. Have I been deceived/cheated or not?
