Well, i dont have any links for what i am about to type, but the general consensus from all the mind numbing research and reading we have done regarding this phone, there is some information. The 32 GB version will be released along with the NFC version and with the Tegra2 version. So the first stocks hitting the market will be 16 GB/1.2 Ghz Exynos/Super AMOLED Plus and later stocks can be with Tegra and with NFC.
Hope that helped

whats the differance between the 2 processers?
Is 1 of them better in performance?
I find it strange how they going to sell some with Exynos and then with Tegra,
This will be bad for putting custom roms on them? as they are 2 diff kinds of phones.
Sorry i dont no a great deal about these phones.
Ugh... so if I want AMOLED and Exynos I'm stuck with 16Gb?

No, if you want Galaxy S 2 you're stuck with 16 GB, not only SAmoled+ and Exynos.

Please explain... are you saying there will be no 32Gb version of it? How do you know this?

PS. I almost wish you're right. That way I wouldn't have to wait for the 32Gb version

Yeah I wasn't very clear. There will be one, but not at the same time than the 16Gb. No release date is known for 32GB.
Samsung Sweden has confirmed that the NFC version coming out later this summer will still sport SuperAMOLED+ and Exynos. However... still no word about whether this version will also have 32Gb or not.
Has anyone else heard anything?
Brgds... /Tubgirl
any information about 32gb variant ???
ugh((((
GSMnation is saying mid-May (their 16GB model is shipping around now). It's priced $110 more.
SGS2 + 16GB card = 32GB that i would have difficulty filling .Filling that is just for the sake of filling .

Thank you ....
good news actually ))))
I've spent most of the last week trying to pin down the release date for the 32GB version. I've gotten dates from May 13 to November, with no real consensus. So if there's anyone out there who has an in at Samsung or one of the UK carriers, now's your chance to gain XDA immortality (or at least a few thanks from those of us looking for the 32GB version).
Basically, I'm trying to determine whether to pull the trigger now, or wait for the 32GB version -- if it's coming out before the end of May, I'll wait. Otherwise, I'll place an order around the end of the week.
Just wondering if anybody has heard anything about this 32Gb version being released???
I remember reading somewhere release towards middle/end of May.
Also heard not being released at all...
Dont know what to believe

Hot damn... I have 80GB of mp3s that I actually like a lot... Add a couple gigs of pictures, two or three movies, and don't forget apps... I feel cramped on my class 10 / 32GB microSD card as it is... A total of 64GB would give me some breathing room.
My biggest problem right now is being an american using a CDMA HTC Evo in Japan for months at a stretch. Finding free WiFi is difficult at best after I leave my apartment. No carrier signal that I've seen so I could not stream music with Google's new beta to save room.
Hoping the semi-confirmed SGS2 for Sprint (aka: Within) will have 32GB and Exnos
Just got this from GSM Nation:
"32gb versions have been delayed by Samsung at least till the end of June, Gsm Nation Sales"

80 GB of MP3's and several GB's of pictures to fit into a phone? You could surely be a bit more selective than that.
Bump!
This thread seems to have the best title of the 7 to bump. I've heard the 32GB will be available in Taiwan near the end of July. Is there any country with the 32GB yet? Is there even one in Korea? I've been dying waiting especially because the 16GB is just sitting there laughing at me saying nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah.
Still no Info on 32 GB version for Europe (most vendors cancelled the preorders, at expansys still "on wait for further infos").
Have my SGS II 16GB + 32 GB mSD now crammed full (internal SD with sygic worldwide maps, external with pics, music and movies) and running out of free mem.
Would need it to have my aviation maps stored too later this year.
Crap is, You cant´s move apps and relating data to external_sd but only Internal sd which limits the use as navi when huge map material has to be stored (right now I have to delete and reload maps depending on where I go). No way to delete movies from external_sd and place maps there ..........
Thanks for the Euroupdate, anyone in Asia got intel? I'm assuming anyone in the dying empire will be last to the table thanks to it's plodding carrier intervention.
I went to my most reliable scuttlebutt source, a Samsung store in a nondescript 1mil + city here in Asia. The clerk gave an extremely non-committal July 30 target date. As I've said in other threads I did see an email from the main government owned carrier also touting this date.
Dear Friends,
I didn't see Lenovo ideapad K1 title in this forum.
I bought it from amazon and I want to start this device discussion from here but I don't know that how can I open it?
If anybody know this issue please help me.
and waiting new lenovo ideapad K1 users here.
I just recieved mine yesterday. I was surprised too when I came here and didn't find a dedicated section... I'll be glad to share whatever it is that I know about the device so far :-D
me too. happy with this K1. brought today.
start playing from 7pm -10am battery level from 42% drop to 21%.
So I would think the battery life should not be the problem.
Did anyone here root this K1. if yes, how ?
Thanks
It doesn't seem so unfortunately. Guess we'll have to wait a little more...

Could any Developer explain how to even try to create a root? I am willing to try to figure it out but not sure where to start.
What files need to be unlocked for superuser and busybox to be installed?
If it helps OTA Roms are able to be flashed now, and the bootloader is unlocked.

Ideapad K1 has been rooted!!!
I've found out last night that the guys on Rootswiki have managed to root the ideapad k1 tablet. Although it's a little bit "messy" as they refer to it but root has been achieved which I think is a huge step . You can take a look at the original post and see for yourself ;-).
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/8722-lenovo-ideapad-k1-rooting-guide-messy/
I'm still waiting for the recovery, before rooting.
internal storage problem?
I also have a Lenovo k1 32gb and I have noticed that it is not reading all of the 32gb. I know it is a 32gb internal but sys info only reads about 25gb total space. so I was wondering if anyone was experiencing any thing similar to this?
This is the usual free space.
The biggest issue for me is the performance using the 3.2.1 OTA, lower than other tablets with similar hardware and the lack of support to Tegra games. You can't buy them on market because lenovo didn't mark/pay rights to this model.
Thanks but I'm not talking about free space. I'm talking about the total space. I only have 9gb free the total space is 24.91 not 32gb like i payed for. I took a pic of screen but having troubles uploading from my tab. Thanks for.you're reply if you have any other ideas I would love to hear.
I've bought it today.
Little surprised too... no threads about Lenovo IdeaPad K1 =( Will be waiting for our developers! Looking forward to find any stuff =)
My experience with 3.2.1 is completely different. When running Vellamo benchmarking, the K1 outscores the Samsung Galaxy and the Acer Iconia 500. I can access Tegra supporting games via Amazon and Android Market.

For INTERNAL storage, mine also indicates 24.91 GB free. My guess is that the 7 GB is storing the firmware image and other goodies. With all my apps installed, plus a couple of audio books and pictures, I have 21.97 GB available.
I brought Ideapad K1 32GB un-open from a friend here in australia. Anyone investigated buying/using the Android Thinkpad n-trig digitizer pen for note taking on the Ideapad. Don't know if the duo-sense drivers are built-in or not? Seems like the digitizer pen communicates via bluetooth.
I have K1 16GB but it is displaying only 12GB. RAM is only 750 MB not 1GB. Im a bit pissed off, wanted to enjoy my new toy and now i have to go trough endless warranty process..
Apparently, some of you are not too tech savvy. Your tablets are find in regards to internal storage and ram. You do realize that the OS is loaded on the device and requires resources. What you see under available ram and internal storage is what you can use. And what does it matter how much ram is available?! The OS and apps know how to allocate memory. The only concern should be why this tablet can't access all the apps like other Android tablets.

+1 to a dedicated K1 section especially since I'm sure a bunch of folks bought them when Staples had them on clearance (plus an additional $50 off coupon).
Have one and been pretty happy with it
greetings, i am a noob *sorry newb*! so go ahead and scream at me if you wish (that video had me rotfl), i bet you can't say anything to me that i haven't heard allready from people in Everquest, World of Warcraft, and League of Legends.
A friend introduced me to Xda when I was consitering buying a nook and he explained the concept of rooting.
Anyway, my question revolves around the half the ram on the new nook tablet. Assuming that there is no problems with rooting it, how much will half the ram effect the system?
I thought seeing the $50 price slash was a godsend, 8gig of storage i can live without, besides, its upgradeable if i really need it, but half the ram? whats the point of sticking on a faster processer if your gonna gut the ram?
can anyone give me an opinon as to if this is worth the price slash? or is $50 worth the extra ram?
its not half the RAM... its half the Storage. Which unless you are going to do some advanced partitioning you probably won't get much use out of anyway.
You pretty much have to get an external micro-SD card for these anyway as B&N only makes 1GB of the internal storage easily available.
Short answer... yeah its pretty much worth it. You can find 32gb cards online For $35 so you won't be missing much.

Re:
I cannot say whether or not it is worth it, because I have no experience with any other Android tablets besides the Nook, but I can confirm according to its website that is does have half the ram as well as half the storage. 8 GB storage and 512k ram.

You may have noticed in the video that this forum is stricter than others. It's mainly to keep things from getting repeated and to save people time, though, and it works nicely that way. Developing is hard work. BTW, no one's head is gonna explode about this, but questions like this are probably best off in the Q&A section.
So, to answer your question, the RAM is halved, the storage is more readily accessible but also halved... is it worth the $50 dollars you save? Sure! It has the same specs and price of the Kindle fire, but with SD storage as well, and the Fire works just fine with 512 mb of RAM.

No the RAM is indeed halved. All of the mainstream tech sites are reporting this, it's not a rumor.
As for partitioning, Nook Tabs are veeery picky about partition schemes,nso that's kinda dangerous. But the current alpha of CM7 gets you better access to the storage, and future releases are planned to allow full access.
my appolgies. tis a problem i usualy have figuring out which forum to post in, this seemed like the likely canidate since there were allready so many posts about the nook tablet 8gb. I will try to keep in mind that this is for tech questions only.
Thank-you very much for the feedback.
For $50 twice the ram and more storage (at least when you put CM7 on it). it seems easily worth it.
My opinion - definitely not worth it.
I got CM7 running on it, and I can see just how important it is.
You won't be running BN's ROM forever, and when you switch to CM7 (with CM9 coming soon, it seems), you really gonna wish you had that RAM, trust me.
I bought a NT last week on Ebay from B&N for $199. Not sure if they are still on sale, but you might check.
If it was a 1GB RAM / 8 GB storage deal, I'd have said the Kindle Fire had some real competition.
As it is, I'd definitely go for the 16 GB version. Not because of the extra storage, but those extra 512 MB in RAM are going to make a difference down the road. What was B&N thinking? Their real advantage over the Fire (RAM) is now gone!
Personally I'd shell out the extra few bucks for the RAM as well. If it were just the storage being reduced, I'd go with it, but the RAM is too important, imo.

They're thinking that many consumers don't seem to know or care about the RAM (or other advantages of the Nook hardware), they just look at the price tag and $199 for the Fire beats $249. I hope it helps, though they've got a mountain to climb to overcome the Amazon ecosystem and Appstore.
With half the RAM and half the storage, NT loses most of it's advantages over Kindle Fire. The only advantage left is the microsd slot.
If I had to pick between 8GB NT and Kindle Fire, I'd take the fire because it offers more 'out of the box' content.
I totally stand corrected. I only saw the storage was being halved... yeah if the RAM is indeed halved then $50 is not a good enough discount for both of those hits.
If only I'd known this 2 days ago when I bought an 8GB version while being in the USA... Figured the 8GB less flash wasn't a big deal if you're using an SD card anyway, and not knowing about the RAM I "saved" some bucks. Now I'm back in Belgium with an 8GB Nook, with half the RAM too, and at the moment unable to run CM... Great
Anyway, I hope someone can get it to root and/or run CM soon!
Moved To Q&A
Please post all questions in the Q&A section
rootability (at least currently) also looks questionable
I certainly don't know the NT well, but I just helped my father in law get a 8GB tablet configured for its basic functionality. I'd like to be able to set it up to run non-BN sanctioned android apps, and from what I have found there is currently no known way to put go launcher or something similar in place that will allow it to be used for general android apps. This is a huge drawback, IMO. Hopefully in a reasonable time there will be some workarounds, but from the searches I have done, this is not currently doable. If anyone knows otherwise, please let me know.
My father-in-law didn't want to put up the extra 50 bucks and I didn't realize at the time that there was much difference other than the extra storage. I had just assumed that with a 32GB SD card that it would be more than enough memory, but it seems there are other issues since it uses the new 1.4.2 OS too. It looks like B&N is deadset to make sure users can't use it for anything other than their apps. I'm thinking that he should just return the 8GB NT and go for the 16GB version instead.
They have figured out how to boot off an SD card for the 8G, now they are moving that over to the rooting SD versions and the recovery versions.
It will take a little bit of time but I think we will see a lot of progress in this next week.

I actually agree very much with this. The Kindle Fire's also ahead in terms of custom ROMs since it's not locked up. I chose the Nook Tablet (16 GB version) because I could buy it from my school bookstore and also use it with textbooks from my school.
If you have to choose between 8GB Nook Tab and 16GB Nook Tab, go with the 16 GB one. But if you're choosing between an 8GB Nook Tab and a Kindle Fire, I'd go with the Fire.

Okay, this is a common misconception about computer storage vs. memory. They're not really the same thing, although the words used to describe them are very similar.
RAM/Memory = How much your computer can keep loaded up temporarily. Think of it as how much someone could be thinking about at once - RAM is important for a computer or device to be able to multi-task.
Storage/Disk space = How much information a computer can recall. Think of it as how much someone could remember.
Now, storage allows you to have more files on your device, but RAM allows your device to be more powerful and run more applications at once.
Hi all!
I am a new HAM2 L03 owner, I purchased the phone used on eBay, but I've seen something curious, the internal memory is displaying as it was 8 gb, but this phone is supposed to have 16 gb internal memory, can you guys help me with this issue?
I'm attaching a screen shot of the internal memory.
There was an 8Gb model sold at WalMart for a short period of time. This is probably one of those. I can tell you it cannot be updated to Lollipop, yet. Check your eBay auction and see if it was advertised as 16Gb. It is actually most likely the reason it was sold off. Sorry for the bad news.

I was under the impression that it was the exact same as the 16 gb and the only difference was the 8 gb storage. Not sure, though, as I don't have the 8 Gb.
Thank you two for your help! according to one image on the link that xordos provided, the Mate 2 Slim has a 3740 mAh battery compared to the regular 3900 / 4100 mAh battery that the HAM2 has, I think it's not a very big difference. I've been using the cellphone since thrusday and I coulndn't be happier, I don't think I can go back to another cellphone that wouldn't provide at least the same battery life and doesn't have the same screen size. I payed $120 USD for it, so I won't complain to the seller (I think this is a good price) if someone is reading this and has doubts about the slim version, my opinion is if you get a really good price, go for it!!!
Curious. How much room does that leave you for apps? If you find its not enough. Root plus link2sd app works great.

I was wondering if this phone got the virtual ram option, so you can have for example 8+8= 16.
I know some oppos have it, also if it dosnt have it, is there any app that does it? I remember there was some app that have done it on samsung if i remember well.

It will work fine until the ram gets loaded up.
Virtual ram doesn't have near the bandwidth needed and cuts into the internal memory bandwidth, a double whammy. With scoped storage already stealing cpu cycles you don't want anything else slowing it down.
Go with 12gb or more and be happy. The battery consumption is minimal. This ancient Note 10+ is a beast; large ram counts and helps increase the longevity of the device. A N10+ will eat the S22U 8gb alive once the ram get loaded up.
To answer your question, yes the Find N has it. It is called "RAM Expansion"
Once enabled you have 3, 5 and 7GB options (at least on the 12/512 variant anyway)
