Has anybody done this on the N2? I was considering doing it since I have a 64gb card and making a 2gb partition for swappable memory. I know this is probably pointless and degrades the length that I can use the SD card, but debating if it is worth it at all.
I'm interested also. You can never have enough ram

Can someone explain to me the situation with the internal storage on the Evo3D?
1. WHat is the actual total amount of internal storage in the Evo3D? I've heard
1GB, 4GB & 8GB....which is it?
2. If it is 4GB's or 8GB's, is there a way to access extra storage space?
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
I think internal is 4gb 1.2ish for apps and like 1gb for rom... Idk.. i'd like to know this as well the real breakdown on internal storage...

1.2 available, the rest is owned by the system. I am SURE somebody will get custom MTD going to free up the unused portion of the 2.8 allocated that is actually vacant space. Especially once we have ROMs that are 75mb vs. 250-400mb
If we could get the rest for apps... Apps2sd is not really needed... Right now i have like 200 apps and am a little over 750mb... I think it will take a while to fill the rest but i wouldnt mind some peace of mind..

Thanks for the input guys. glad to see im not the only one wondering about this.
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.

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

ORRRRRRRR you can try this

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).

Im new to rooting so i don't like the idea of fiddling with it so is there any other means?

Lot less hassle rooting than even thinking about opening up device and messing with that...

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
Oh well no worries, I can live with it

Using the galaxy s3 toolkit, rooting is very very easy... just follow the guide and you are rooted
Get a 32

hope so , so far there is no update on this , not sure if samsung gonna enable this,
even a china phone with android has this function
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.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
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
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
-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.

After school today I'll be going to the post office to pick up my GS3, and I had a few questions. I purchased one with 16 gigabytes of storage instead of 32; can I take the SD card from my Rezound and add it to the S3 for 32 gigabytes of storage instead? I'm looking to sell my Rezound to help offset the price from the S3 and want to make sure that If I take the SD card from my Rezound and then sell it that it won't cause problems. Any advice would be fantastic.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Does the GS3 have a micro SD slot? If so, sure. Pop it in.
Removing your sd from your rezound won't cause problems but may lower the price you'd get for it. The phone is a lot less attractive with only 12 or so GB of storage without an SD card.
I went from a rezound to gs3 just like u and took the sdcard from my rezound and popped it in the gs3 with no problems. U don't even have to format it. Just pop it in and ur good to go.
