in 16gb sgs3, only 11gb is usable for apps and data.
in 32gb sgs3, how much space is available for apps and data?
tia.
For the 32Gb, you can use 25,57 Gb of your SD storage.

okay i'm guessing that's 25.57gb right?
cos if it's a comma i think you may have meant 25gb usable only for 32gb version and only 57gb usable for 64gb versions.

Other countries use commas in their numbers instead of decimal points.

That's a point! Why would he talk about the 64gb version without mentioning it first? :')
thanks anyway.
was just trying to be sure so as not be repetitive since not many know that some countries use commas instead of dots for the decimals.
again thanks.

You're both wrong.
25.57 GB
If you spelled b without caps, it would mean Gigabites, GB means Gigabytes.
26Gb is 3.25GBs

Guys, i am having a one gb Ext 4 Partition on SD. Currently it has 800mb free. Can I use this space in emergency. As I am always living on the edge with my 8gb card. Its always about 98% full. So I always have to delete something to download something new. I think I can use this without harm via root explorer and I will try it. It might also be good for private stuff.

Though the trick is working, it would be better for me to get a 16gb card. Or may be 32gb...

Formating.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
I'm pretty sure you are missing space because it is necessary for an sd card that size to have in unallocated partition of about 1gb. You *might* be able to resize it. All sd cards don't allow the user to use up the amount of space they claim to have.

There is a difference between bits and bytes, when you buy something ie 16GB card you are getting 16000000000 bytes, that translates to 14.91gb. You will NEVER buy something that says x amount of GB and it show up as that amount usable
. So multiply any advertised amount by .923 and you get the usable amount

cool i thought something was up with me sdcard.. thanks for geting back
I'm too late for this but may help for future doubts. Every GB has 1024 MB and don't 1000 as we usual say, in that order, 1 MB has 1024 KB and 1 KB has 1024 B. After this short explanation we got: 16,000,000,000 B/1024(in order to get KB)= 15,625,000 KB/1024(to get MB)= 15,258 MB/1024(to get GB)= 14.90 GB you get in your card.
I was wondering why you haven't complained about the 8GB card that you got with your phone (or any other that you had before ) , lol

Sorry to bump an old thread, but this is additional info on the subject. While 64GB cards are supported, they need to be formatted correctly to be fully compatible with AOSP roms. If you format the sd card in a windows PC, it will default to using the extFAT file system. I believe a Sense rom will also format using extFAT, but I cannot confirm that.
The extFAT filesystem not supported by AOSP roms due to licensing issues. The card should be formatted using the FAT filesystem, but Windows will not allow formatting of a volume larger than 32GB using FAT. To get around the issue, I formatted my 64GB with the FAT filesystem using a Linux computer. You may also be able to format directly in an AOSP rom to get the correct filesystem.

AOSP supports exFAT just fine, using open-source exfat-fuse, the same way that Linux distros support it. You must be using an old ROM.

I wasn't able to able to write to a 64GB exFAT card in the first AOSP-based ROMS I installed. Of course, that was a while back, potentially before the FUSE module for exFAT was rolled in. If I remember correctly, the first versions of ntfs-3g (the FUSE module for NTFS on Linux) were read-only. I may have been similarly limited by an early implementation of exFAT. Good to know it's fully functional now!
Mine works just fine. didn't even format it in the phone. Threw it in and I was good to go.
Is there any way to upgrade the internal 16GB storage to a 32GB? I'm not referring to the external MicroSD card.
It might be possible i think samsung use SD cards as their internal storage.
Yh of course there is sell ur 16gb version nd buy the 32gb version

is it even possible ? unless there are motherboard with 32 gb for sale ?
This is not possible for the conventional person unless you have access to some pro level reflow ovens and flash chips.

You need a laptop hard drive, super glue and a hammer.

So is that basically a no, without serious mods to the phone?
Dude the internal flash memory is what's called smd in electronics (surface mounted device). Basically they are miniaturized semiconductor components with tiny solder pads which can only be joined with specialized equipment.
It's impossible to mess with it at home, that's why I sprung the extra cash for the 32gb version.

This is indeed a very interesting notion since the galaxy s3 was my very first smartphone and android I thought to myself that with the 16gb internal SD with an extra external SD card it should suffice but I was very wrong as apps only install in the internal SD card and I'm almost at my limits since I have alot of HD games and apps installed.

Just buy a 64 GB micro sd card.
Have a look at Directory Bind. This should solve your space issues (assuming you have a micro sd card in your phone).

Yeah but there's a mod to swap the Internal and external SD cards so you could buy a 64gb card and have lots of app storage. Its also a matter of time before the app2 SD gets sorted for s3

There are no 128gb micro sd cards out yet, only normal sized SD cards.
If you see any online they are just placeholders or are fakes..
