Just got a TB yesterday and am perplexed on why there is only 29.71 gb of available on a 32 gb card? I guess a few GB...no big deal but the Internal space available is only 2.47 out of 8. What gives? I maybe have 120 phone numbers.
Thanks

around 29.7 or 29.8GB is right for your SD card. and the internal storage for apps and everything is 2.5GB, some more is used for the system and firmware. I'm not sure if people found out what takes up the rest of the space though.
A 32 GB flash card holds 32,000,000,000 bytes. Your phone is measuring gibibytes (GiB), but incorrectly labeling them as gigabytes (GB).
32 GB = 29.802322387695312 GiB. The difference between that and the available capacity shown is due to formatting overhead, and whatever's already stored on the card.
One gigabyte is 10^9 bytes (SI), whereas one gibibyte is 2^30 bytes (binary). And the ***** of it is that the larger the number of GB to GiB, the more you seem to be "missing."
Thats cool. Thx. Big learning curve coming from a WOS 6.5 to this android. but I will love it.

It's the same for everything. Unless you mean Android as a whole. Anyway, welcome to Android. You'll love it.
Has anyone figured out how to make the allotted space for the CM7 install larger?
I've got a 16gb Touchpad so space is limited as it is. Right now I've got about 12gb free on webOS and only 1gb free on CM7.
Is there a way to even that out so each OS gets 6-7gb?

Its not installed correctly then. You should have the same free in both OS's as they share the same media partition for storage.
S2 have a 16 gig internal memory, so why does mine say 3 gig used and 8 available? Where is the other 5 gig? I'm running a custom ROM (not had chance to update my sig yet) would that make a difference? I can't seen to find out what this 5 gig is........
Thanks

i dont have the exact number to the nearest MB but it works something likes this...
16GB on internal memory equates to 14.4 (approx) GB available memory...
you can see something similar in any windows/linux PC...when you try to see the disk space...available is alway less than total...dont worry/bother right now why its like that...
ok now from 14.4 GB available... you take out 2.1 GB (approx) for internal memory (also called partition for storing Apps)...
this leaves you with 12 GB (approx) free...called the SD card memory (separate from any external SD card you might put in)
its like that for each and every SGS2 16GB model user.... nothing to worry about..

ah right, so nothing to worry about... thanks for clearing that up mate.
I know, i can have external memory, but it is slow comparing to NAND internal memory
How much of internal memory will left after all the system? 11GB?
On my galaxy s 16gb (rough comparison) SD card partition is 13.4 and app partition is 1.8. Rest is system partitions.
Touchwiz will probably take a bit more and Samsung may partition differently.
Its enough for me end up with 4gb free
With 5gb music.

if i read it right the built in 16 gb will have 10.5 gb usable as internal sd which is 1 gb lesser than my sgs2. Thank god sgs3 has the sdcard slot .

Do you really carry 128 gb of data's with your phone. Then get a extra battery too.

Damn ill take a 16 gb and 16 ext. Also the ext battery but deff not both 64.
Where have you seen info about extended batteries?
I never use more than 3 gig on my phone so 16 gig is plenty. Out of the 3 gig that I use, most of it is ROMs and kernels that are on it
... ... ...
I'll be happy with the 16GB one, already have a 32GB card but i may get a 64GB card too.
Yes. Put a 62 GB SD card in it and there you have it you will never run out of storage. Plus you can utilize the Dropbox Storage they give u

To each their own.
I think I'll buy a 32 Gb phone and buy an sd later as and when required. (Since internal memory is faster)

You meant 64 GB
i think ill grab a 16GB version of the GS3..already have class 4 32GB never used it had it on my note but i returned it due to pixel issues..still a virgin but now i might get the higher speed sandisk 64GB.. that way when i get new Nexus/NOTE2/GS4 ect.. ill just buy the ones that have the lowest GB built inn and just popped the 64GB.. im good with a built in 16GB..got to love this SD slots coming from a iphone/ipad user..still like my apple stuff but its time for a change
question ? whats faster internal memory or the new Sandisk card when the phone reads it..i mean the Sandisk reads 30mb sec* i mean that plenty fast already..will there be a big difference when the phone reads the internal memory or the SD high read cards.?
will my class 4 32GB work good enough on the GS3? will there be like a little lag due to its a calss 4? or thats good enough?

San disk 64gb is class 6

NAND memory, the integrated one, is the one used in SSD disks. It is faster than SD cards
Is it worth getting the 16 GB version of this phone in terms of performance? Does it run on the same firmware as the 8 GB version?
I've used Asus phones before and love how easy they are to root and modify. More brands should follow their example.
No, I don't think it's worth it. I'm more of a common user and not a heavy user, though.
They do run the same software/firmware versions.
Nope not at all. 8GB model performs the same as 16GB. Id say 8GB of ram is the sweet spot on phones. You could have 10 different apps open in the background and it wouldnt even be close to filling up those 8GB. And i doubt any of the normal users would have more than 4 apps open at the same time.

Yeah, the only reason a phone would close any apps on 8 GB is if the OS is the culprit.
