Hi to all,
I have a new HTC Titan brand Vodafone Italy.
I have installed the SYSTEM INFORMATION app and in storage section i read:
Total memory: 349,16 MB
Available storage: 11,77 GB
my old Omnia 7 had almost 500MB of total memory and almost 14GB of storage!!
Is my new Titan broken or it is normal? (less memory than Omnia 7???)
Same for me.

Really? So it's not my Titan that has less memory than Omnia7 i presume.
So, can we say that HTC version os WP7.5 take more than Samsung's one ?
and wy? may be HTC Hub ?

probably htc hub and some tweaks we have such as the activation of the speakers when you turn the mobile phone with the screen facing the table.
I switched from an iPhone 4 32Gb to the Titan (my second, I have one before having my iPhone ^^) and except this and angry birds it's a great phone, you can always use Skydrive to get a bit more space.

Give or take 200MB that WP7 uses for itself... And since it's Flash Memory instead of an SDcard the storage is being shared with everything else...
Blank Partition
WP7
Crap from the carrier
HTC Apps
Then actual User Media
And the usual fact that you never get the total storage from things
Windows Phone might look light and simple on top but underneath its pretty heavy

Hello! I haven't yet bought an XDA for myself, but I have been researching my purchase for months - thank you very much to the people who run this forum, and to the people that have posted so much useful info...
I have also already downloaded heaps and heaps of software to try - I am a software-nut and already have hundreds of apps and games, over 200Mb so far - but no XDA to try them yet!
I already have a nice Panasonic 256Mb SD-Card for my new XDA, but... I have realized that I can't afford a 2nd-Hand 64Mb XDA this month from eBay, although I can afford a 32Mb from eBay. I don't want to wait another month, the waiting is driving me crazy! (I left my old PDA on a train, and my life is falling apart without one!)
So my question is - Will a 32Mb XDA be enough, combined with my 256Mb SD-Card? I know that some apps won't run properly from the card, and I'm afraid that 32Mb won't be enough... On the other hand, I've read that it's mostly system programs that need to be run from the RAM, and they're mostly quite small... But I don't want to get a 32Mb XDA and then find I need to keep shifting apps from the Card to RAM and back again just to get everything running... What's your experience, and your advice?
Thanks,
Suzie
I have the 32MB with kitchen 4.00.05Rom packed full of the free programs.
And yes you have to watch your mem use all the time and I keep a shortcut to a soft-reset program handy.
All my apps are in the sd card and so are the avantgo files.
The only things taking up storage is the PIM data and about 1.3MB of excel files which I need to sync
leaving about 20MB free.
This works very well for me and I do multitask a lot of programs.
Hope this helps.
Hi;
I have the Tmobile version with 32mb and a 256sd card and with some tweaks.
I did upgrade to wm2003
Most of the 32ram is used by my Pim
All apps and data are stored backed up on my sdcard and pc
so a restore or glitch is quickly resolved
It works like a gem
Good luck

I have a 32 MB unit (the 64 MB unit broke at some point). It works fine for me, but then I'm not software freak. I bought "Spb GPRS monitor" from SPB Software and "Agenda Fusion" from Developer One, and that's about all I use, apart from the programs installed on my theft-protected 4.00.11 ROM (I ran 4.00.05 until yesterday...).
If you're that much a software geek, why not get a 32 MB one and have it doctored to 128 MB? Gets you 64 MB main RAM, and an extra 64 MB ultra-fast virtual storage card. Links should be somewhere on this forum, and if memory serves me right it wasn't too expensive.
(And have someone lined up to buy it when the XDA II hits the stores ofcourse.)
I have a 32mb qtek, and would like to upgrade it to 64mb. Of course you can have extra storage with SD cards, but some functionalities don't work on SD card, because when the device is off, it sometimes need 2 or 3 seconds after power on for the card to be recognize. So if you place ring tones or pictures of callers (to use with Caller2picture i.e), they won't be displayed since they try to load picture/ringtone immediately at power on in case of incoming call.
Regards.
Most people do well with the 32MB version, unless they're geeks. I'm one of those geeks, and really like my 64MB, but did survive with 32 for a while. Unless you plan to load a lot of stuff internally, you'll do fine with 32.
I just purchased the sprint hero. What should my internal storage memory be right out the box? The specs are 288 but when I first turned it on and without any apps, my internal storage memory is 142. Is that right?

I guess I will answer my own question. I finally decided to call HTC with my question. They said that the Sprint Hero indeed has 288mb internal phone storage but we are only gonna get about 142mb for apps. The rest of the storage is being used by the apps and system stuff that come with the phone. So, 138mb is being used by the phone before we even download any apps. That sucks! I cant wait untill this phone becomes Rootable!!
I was poking around the app SystemPanel (available on the market) and I noticed that the internal storage only adds up to 4gb. This is including the System Storage(849.5MB), Application Storage(2670.8MB), and The cache(424.7MB). Now I don't know much about the file structure, and I am probably missing something, but I thought that the internal storage was 8GB?
Anybody else run into this discovery?

I'm guessing what Brad is trying to point out without actually putting any effort into answering your question, is according to the linked thread, eMMC is only 4GB

I'm going to venture to guess one of two things is going on:
HTC fat fingered the spec-sheet and everybody else copied it without doing any research (Alternate: Last minute change and their tech sheet was never updated)
There really is 8GB of eMMC, but the "missing" 4GB is hidden, disabled, or otherwise unaccounted for at the moment.
In any event, until someone does a tear down we probably wont know for absolute certainty.
It's not "missing." Pulled from the other thread.

There is 5.00168gbs(or 5121.72mb) on the system partition according to Root Explorer and a calculator. Most of it is free (empty) space, though.
5.00168 + the ~2.5gb user storage partition = ~7.5gb.
This is the same as the MT4G and G2, both of which had the same advertised 8gb internal storage I believe.

how do we get at this space? it seems strange to have it just sitting around there, not being able to be used. perhaps it is possible to rewrite emmc partions to give this an "internal" storage, much like the Dinc had?

Most likely this will be impossible.
The eMMC's generally used by HTC can only be partitioned once, period. At least, this was the case with the G2 and the MT4G which had the same "missing" storage space.

EDIT: Pulled the more technical explanation from the G2's Wiki: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#The_Missing_2GB
Yes, I realize that G2 =/= Thunderbolt. However, it's very likely that HTC uses similiar processes for all of it's phones.
O, ok. I searched xda and it didn't turn up any discussions like this.
O and yippee for companies essentially screwing us out of half of the internal memory we paid for...
Thanks for all of the information guys...

Yeah I hasn't finished reading that thread when I replied in here, so I didn't realize the space had been located.
I know the way HTC does eMMC makes it a one time partition, but since its there as "system" according to that post, shouldn't that mean it could be utilized by us somehow? I don't entirely understand all of the nuance to androids partition madness, but I'm an old hand with linux. My first thought runs to making a loopback in some of the free space and mounting it in a user assessable area a la how you can mount iso's and swap files. Might not be the fastest but for data that doesn't change often it could work. Hell I'm pretty sure thats all the ext2/4 hacks on the sgs phones are doing to avoid rfs.

It's the same with iPhone, Android or other WP.
16GB is the total memory of the phone. After adding the OS, it reduces.
My HTC Sensation XL is exactly the same phone as Titan but running Android. It's available memory is - 11.97 GB total brand new.
This means WP OS takes up nearly 3.15 GB on Titan
and Android OS takes up nearly 4.03 GB on Sensation XL.
memory more than the other phones so why not.
for example, about HD7 14.63 gb.
I learned why he was leaving the place dexter_89. w8 w8 support and the size of this device arrives between 2.50 and 3-50 gb place so he hides it
Think we are lucky having just 12GB, HTC One s has just 10GB lmao.
I presume some of the space is taken up by loads of language files. When we eventually get custom roms we can get just one language file we need and save space?
Well I have calcualted that I have 32 GB of my 64GB used personally with music/pictures/videos. But i seem to have around 10GB of data unaccounted for, any ideas?
From root ( using folder size chart to get folder size's)
Folders by size ( not sure but 3 seem to be duplicates )
MNT: 31,905.4 MB
SDcard: 31,905.4 MB
Storage: 31,905.4 MB
System: 842.32 MB
ECT: 28.6MB
Vendor: 18.4MB
everything else blow that isnt worth listing ( in the low KB-MB range )
Total: ~ 32.02 GB ( assuming MNT/SDcard/Storage, are all pointing to the same data)
Phone default storage:
39.96GB of 64GB and its break down is:
apps 388MB
Music: 26.93GB
Pics/Videos: 1.15GB
Downloads: 1GB
Other: 10.52GB
Available: 24.04GB
Any ideas on what the mysterious 10GB of "BS" is? Considering I just rooted/formated/rom-ed my phone it should be at closer to 32GB not 39.96GB.

The other might be sd data for apps/games. That's all I can think of.

It has to be something to do with the phone software because I started with 55gb of storage after unlocking bootloader so I don't know what's taking up all that room bit I had the same thing. I'm not worried about it yet as I still have 30 gb left but when that runs out that extra 10 gb could cone in handy of I ever need it

It could be music if you save your music to your phone using google play music. Sense doesn't see those songs as songs because they're encrypted and not a .mp3, so it counts it as other. I'm pretty sure aosp handles this correctly though.
If it's not music, I suggest using SD Maid to find out what it is.

They aren't encrypted, although they are hidden but fairly easy to get to.
In a directory on your sdcard where its located there's a file called .nomedia that tells apps not to look there for media files.
You can still use a file explorer to pull the files out or delete the file
The songs aren't named but just download an app to auto name them and your golden

Maybe Nandroid backups? I have 5 of them and it takes up 9.27gb. Check your TWRP folder properties.

well i have my android back ups calculated in the "personal" data section since they were in my clocworkmod>backup folder. which were 2Gb
I am starting to think that the issue lies with the phone showing up as 55GB when connected to pc and 64 GB when looking at the phones internal settings

Did you check Android/ data it can get pretty large, and although it will slightly slow down things such as the amount of time it takes to load album art and map caches, you can safely delete it on occasion to see of that helps.
When I first got my HTC One X+, I immediately checked the storage and found that 9.xx GB was taken up completely. This is pretty fair to me because, other 64GB devices I have owned in the past have said that I've only had, say, 52GB available, so at least the phone takes into account actual capacity. But yeah, 10GB wasted. I mean, I can't really argue, 64GB is a LOT of space, but I really doubt Android and HTC Sense take up more than 3 gigs.

new HOX+ today, same thing. i cant complain, since i came from the 16gb One X xD
The 9/10GB in question, are the other partitions on the nand. It does not matter how much space Android & Sense take up, as the partitions are set sizes.
