hi i just got my razr and when i checked internal storage it was 8GB only,isn't razr supposed to be 16 gb?is there a 8 gb version?
thanks.
There is 16GB, only 8GB is user-accessible. The rest is partitioned for webtop and app data.
Heaps of topics about this, search if you need further info.

Is it possible to change the internal card of the phone to increase storage space? Maybe use a class 10 to try and speed up read / write?

if you are talking about the removable sd card, Yes you can replace that with a class 10 sd card
If you are talking about internal storage, there is no way of actually upgrading that (expect if you use data2ext on your rom/sd card)
I see you posted this using a Dell Streak and just to clarify this is the forum for HTC Legend
Been a while since I checked this topic. I did post with my Streak, but for a friend who has a Legend. I only asked because I replaced my internal SD card, with a little surgery, and did notice some improvement in performance. The legend has a relatively small internal storage and I was just wondering if anyone had tackled their internal sd. The phone is built like a tank with the unibody design so I wasn't about to start experimenting on his cell. I belive he is looking to switchout to a new phone anyway. Thanks for the reply.

8 gb of internal storage, 4 gb for applications and the rest for android system.
16GB is the size of the whole eMMC.
Since the eMMC is (obviously) partitioned, the available space for you is <16GB.
Anyway, that's called "smart advertising".... :°)
Hello All,
I apologize if there was a thread about this in the past I tried searching but wasn't sure how to exactly word it. I was wondering about sd cards and partitions, I believe that the max size the atrix 4g is 32gb internal. What I was wondering is it possible to take a 64gig card partition it into 2 32gb partitions and have the phone be able to read those separately?
Thanks
Most android devices support 64gb microsd. Feel free to try it, btw is not the internal. Internal is 16gb for all of the device needs, os, webtop, etc and the external, the one you are mentioning.

Well I read like the default specs and it said it supports up to 32gb external but that was written I think before 64gb cards. I'm running cm7 so that may help too. Would just hate to spend the money if I put it in and it only recognizes 32 lol.

This makes me crazy. Why do they claim 8gb when there is not even 5gb usable? Be honest, say 5gb so we are able to gauge what we are getting. At least when you get an SD card almost all of it is there.
You forgot 2 gb internal storage for apps..yes its not full 8 gb ..its 7 point something but it never is.

It is the same reason for your hdd on your pc. The drive does have 8gb total but some of it is used up by the system's OS. Your usable space is actually 5.5gb with 1.3gb being used for apps. Any storafe medium does this. If you notoce on sd cards it may say 16gb but the user only has access to 14 gb

-sigh- because there really is 8gb of memory and they would be lying if they said 5gb. Think about it; all tech companies list the memory as the total amount of internal memory, not just available memory. If Samsung had a guilty conscience and said the galaxy player had 5gb, how could you compare to the iPod, that still said 8gb? There really is 8gb, but only 5gb available. Life tends to not be perfect.

System storage is for apps..some aps can be instaled on sd (usb) but you can move and them to system..be happy that SGP has a lot of system memory..i had phone with just 200mb of system memory and 8 gb card and that was nightmare.

but what is the different if i have 2 GB of system storage and 5 GB of usb storage?i prefer that it will be 7 GB of storage that apps will be installed because right now when i install an app it takes place in the system storage and the usb storage i think that it just make things more complicated.

Most apps can not be instaled on usb storage so you want be able to install them at all with out it ..also almost all aps have some librarys and they all go to system storage..also dalvic cache is on system storage..and every app that is on usb storage you can move it to system..just go to menage aplications in settings ..click on app and click on move to device

Just buy a 64gb MicroSD and swap the internal with the external, then you'll have 64gb for apps to be installed on.
Simple fix.

Well you might need to clarify your question. What do you want to do, set up your phone so that everything save onto your external sd?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
Yes I want to swap my external sd as internal sd, So I can have much bigger space on my phone. As you know the phone recognizes only internal memory as phone storage not the Sd card. I saw a video toturiol on YouTube about Galaxy S3 but I'm looking for SGH-1717.

Thats the ticket Brad.....
Based on that script, it moves the extent of what the OS will allow.
System data cannot be moved, but application data can.
Even then, some apps will not run from external storage....
Good find .....g
Swap External w/ Internal. Success!!
