I've been prowling websites, SE's included and I find contradictions on the amount of memory - internally and the amount of the internal storage (not microSD) in the X10.
Most sites seem to suggest that there is 1GB of RAM memory. The OS/Firmware takes up 384-400mb ROM.
There are sellers who say that the X10 has 8 or 16GB of internal storage. There are others that say it's only 2GB. I think that a lot of sites are confusing the microSD with internal storage. Rogers site seems to suggest 8GB internal storage and ATT says 2GB.
The Samsung Galaxy S seems to come with 16GB storage and a 8GB card at ATT.
The X10 they are selling seems to be with 2GB storage and 2GB sd card. (SonyStyle is selling the X10 with a 8GB card incl.)
Could someone clarify this? Is it just confusion with the SD card or did ATT order up the X10 with less internal storage than the rest of the world, guarantee that 'geeks' wouldn't be as interested....
From what I've seen they're all the exact same hardware wise, and the internal memory is the same. Was supposedly 1gb internal memory in the phone, but not sure if it's actually true, or if 1.6 limits available system ram.
The x10 from Rogers in Canada comes with 16GB card installed. (They did a few months ago anyway)
1GB ROM (internal mem)
384MB RAM (used when phone is on for programs and tasks)

I don't understand the 'practically unlimited' part. Isn't one of the reasons that people want Eclair/Froyo the ability to store apps on the memory card rather than the internal memory? And the better message auto-management?

"practically" unlimited storage was regarding size of memory card you can use in your device, which as of now can be max. 32 GB.
That´s 3rd point..first is internal memory (ROM), second is operating memory (RAM) and finally third is external memory (MicroSD card)
1,2Gb of 32Gb is free and Razr's annoying me by low storage notification.
Possible to disable?
yes it's possible...leave 2gb or 3gb free of the 32gb memory and you 'll be fine...lol!

You are right - the notification is really obsolete and annoying... :-(
Hope there is some way how to disable it...

because 2,5 gb free of 8gb is still fine... as far as I remember on 8gb card its usually notifying when there is 200-300 mb free... the notification is rised where there is < 5% space free...
Hey there.
I'm a little confused regarding the internal storage of my VZW Note II. It has 16gb, which I know is less when formatted... there's around 10gb available for apps and files. Isn't that the partition sizing for Samsung's massively bloaty ROM? I'm running AOSP; is there any way to reclaim some of that space? Or I've seen some stuff about dual-booting, but there are way too many disparate GNoteII forums on XDA and I can't find any specific font of information. Is that a way to more efficiently use space? I'm just consistently crunched for space since nothing can use the external SD really, and 10gb goes away quickly nowadays.
Thank you kindly.
I would like to know the same thing. Just flashed and rom and set everything and now I only have about 700MB free space. I don't even run lots of apps. It's the miscellaneous that takes up majority of the space.

Thats 700mb freespace for the system partition which is plenty...apps reside on the internal sd which you should have 10-12gb free.

Exactly. That's 700mb to /system, then the rest goes to app storage and the emulated internal SD card. My phone reports that at 10.33gb total; 10.33gb + 700mb = 11.03gb total known storage across all known partitions. Doesn't that seem a little low?
I know my phone has 2gb of ram but what I am speaking of is the 16gb internal SD storage.

That's what we're speaking of as well. Your phone has 16gb of internal storage which is split across system files and app storage. Any space left over is your "internal SD card". It's how Android works post-Ice Cream Sandwich.
no its not low thats normal...
Well, I know our "16gb" cards are only 14.9gb, marketing considers 1gb = 1,000mb's, but it's really 1024 mb's. So really if you do the math, 16gb by marketing definition equals 14.9gb in reality (16*1,000^3/1,024^3). That explains 1gb at least.
I'd imagine the rest is the baseband and radio software, all that? Is the touchwiz framework always left on the phone even after a full internal format?
How much available space does a "16gb" Nexus 4 have on first boot?

Ah. I did not realize that the RAM was part of that 16gb as well, I thought it was dedicated. That explains it. Thanks

Where'd you see that?
Well according to the email notification I got from XDA, droidstyle's response was:
"no its not low thats normal... The rom is 2gb + 2gb of ram + all of the apps leaves arouns 11gb free."
then when I went to reply that second part wasn't there anymore? But I assume droidstyle is right? 14.9 - 2.0 - 2.0 = 10.9, so... closer?

It seems weird, but I think you're right. It's not only the most logical and mathematically accurate solution, but thinking back on it I believe that's how my poor old Galaxy Nexus functioned as well, it was just far less noticeable since the Gnex had 32gb of memory and only took 1gb of RAM, vs. 16 - 2.

I have a 32 ultra SD, so I'm pretty set. Currently I have 4.9 GB available on the internal drive. I like to keep a clean drive. If you download music, most if not all will go to the internal. I've looked for mp3 apps that direct the DL's to the ext.SD, but have only found one, and that one didn't work. I believe cache goes on the internal too. Every time you download a ROM like meanbean, liquid smooth, they place a folder on the internal drive. They're empty, but they take up space.
I think the ram is part of the internal.

Oh I have a 32gb Class-10 µSD card in my phone right now. The problem I'm facing is that any sort of app storage can't be moved to external SD... I have one or two pretty massive games and a lot of apps that love to cache reserves of data, and it adds up. I only have about 1.2 gb free storage after clearing all caches, without really any other files to speak of besides a few pictures. Oh well, I can deal. I was just spoiled with storage on the GNex.
hello any way how to swap memory in the international one max?
my internal memory is only 16
i have 64 gb sd card
how to change this?

Memory for what?
Do you mean where downloads/pictures/etc are saved?

On the Verizon One Max, on the left side near the top there is a button on the side that releases the back cover. From there you can insert your sd card. Not certain yours is the same but I would imagine so. Maybe a fellow International owner can confirm.
ha ha ha
i mean make the external memory to be the internal one like Samsung phones mods
because off the games data is very big

I have a rooted HAM2 device. Can someone tell me why does my /system folder has 1gig but the phone has 16gigs (12gigs usable)? Right now, it's almost maxed out. Would it be practical to extend the partition?

You actually have about 12 GB free space on your internal memory after all the overhead. It's not maxed out by any means. I added an external SD and set it up as the default storage.
