S3 internal memory - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Help needed..
My friend will be buying the new Samsung Galaxy S3.. He has found out that it come in different internal storage versions (16, 32, 64 GB)..
How can he check what version (internal storage) on the phone..??
Thanks

It should be on the box! Otherwise, put in the battery press the menu button (bottom left, next to home button). Near the top it should say storage. It will not however say 16, 32 or 64 as you need to remove about 5-6 GB for the software.

Cheers..
Will check it out

This website is a fake, it's a scam. They will take your money and run.
There is no such thing as a 64gb i9305 LTE. Samsung have only made a 16gb version.

Can't mount External SD Card

I've tried my S3 with 3 types of card now, 2gb SanDisk, 16gb Kingston and a 32gb Samsung Ultra Mobile. Each of varying classes.
I have used countless ROMS from stock to CM10 and AOKP/AOSP and I can't get the option to mount my card in the storage menu to highlight.
I have formatted them on my laptop as Fat32 and exFat but neither have worked yet they have worked in other Galaxy handsets.
Can any of you guys think of something I need to do to solve it or is it a case of a faulty phone?
Thanks in advance

If the card works with other GS3 but not yours then it is very high possibility your GS3 is faulty. Send it back to Samsung.

Tried it in different phone's and formatted it again but still didn't work???
The s3's faulty for sure. Get an exchange.
Looks like I'll have to bite the bullet and send it back. If I get a chance I'll see if I can get someone to try it in their S3.

i have the same prob
Got my 64GB working
I upgraded from 32GBPNY to 64GB SanDisk. Couldn't mount the 64. Tried many things, but in the end, I formatted the 64 to ExFat because it became damaged and I don't have the fat32 option on my mac. Next I put in the 32, and made sure it was readable and mount/unmounted twice, just to make sure, then I put in my 64. After I saw details (card cap, and available), I went to the dev options and set "protect external SD" to on. Rebooted to Recovery and backed-up to ex sd. Once the back up completed I rebooted, went into the settings / more tab / storage. I am now able to mount and unmount at will. Hope this helps!

What's the deal with the storage on this phone?

Okay so I flashed jelly whizz today using safe strap 3.11 on ROM slot 1 using 2gb for whatever and 640mb for data or whatever..... Is this correct I'm not sure what's going on with my storage all of a sudden I have internal storage and sdcard0 and sdcard1? Its saying I don't have enough storage to install as game loft game? Is this safe strap related issue or what?

how many slots have you created in ss3?
I only have one slot created and am currently using and my space usage is close to the same as yours.
Mine says about 2.7 GB of free space though.
Something is using a lot of space. Almost like you created another 2 GB slot and just not using it.
I created one 2gb slot in ROM slot 1.....idk whats causing this but it won't let me DL modern combat 4 cause insufficient space but it looks like I have enough? I think the fact that safe strap keeps your Og phone state backed up in case something happens on a ROM slot but still..... I was running arctic HD which I flashed using ss 2 and I had mc3 mc4 order n chaos and wild blood on that with no issue

This happens when is about to die. My oem card died like that. Bought a Sammy and np.
Let me guess...its sandisk?

Mine does this to with a 32GB sandisk :/
I did buy a 32GB Samsung card but that died more or less straight away D;
so atm im still using the sandisk even though it likes to tell me its inserted/damaged/empty
Annoying!
The only thing i can suggest is to buy a samsung memory card from a trusted dealer
(mine was from ebay and most probably why it died)
but before it did, it worked fine in the note 2 gave me no pain

I had the exact problem with my sandisk 32GB ultra, but i got it swapped out and the new one works flawlessly. Think they had a bad batch (had to wait for a new shipment until i could swap my card)
I contacted SanDisk through the website.
They will rma my card who had the same problem.
Expecting my replacement next week.

same problem with pny 32 g
had the same problem for a while then my card suddenly died . apparently the reader on a lot of Samsung phones easily kill sd cards so be sure to back up very often

just got my second RMA card. Hope this time is will work fine.

16 or 32GB?

If I buy a new S4, should I get a 32GB one or save some money and get a 16GB one and add an SD card? Will the 32GB memory be faster than any SD card? Does it matter what speed the SD card is?

I regret getting the 16 GB because I am stuck on ME7 and the only way I can flash roms is with safestrap. If I had more internal memory I could have more than 2 safestrap roms which would be cool. But I manage with the 16 GB and and a 32 GB micro SD.
I hate having the 16. I can only have 1/4-1/3 of my apps installed

I have the 16 and a 32 SD card and it is just fine. Would have liked to get the 32 but none were available when I got mine.

Cant you guys with root move all games apps downloaded to sd ? I thought without root you cant move every app.
