Anyone else having this problem. Sprint site says 4gb internal memory. I'm smelling some complaining for a credit bc of false advertising.
That memory is allocated.

I agree i assumed I would have nearly 4gb of available internal memory. I would love to have that advertised memory available to me. Its not a deal breaker for me due to the fact that every downloaded app is able to be saved to sd.

That memory is there as advertised. It's just allocated for different resources.

4GB internal, 3GB reserved for weather animations. hehe jk sense is a OS all in itself its sucking up all the space.

You think that's bad? I love the people who buy hard drives and are clueless who sizes work in terms of bytes and bits.
"Hard drive says it has 1Tb, WTF do I only see 975Gb? RAAAAGEEEE!!!!!!!!!!"
The RUU is only 400MB and only having 1 out of 4 GB is a little extreme... I'm wondering where the rest of it is too.

So I just got my new 16 gb memory card in the mail. I formatted it thru windows using FAT32. When I put it in my phone it says available space is 15.12 gigs. Is that normal? I feel like Im getting ripped off almost a gig!! Thanks
Yeah, that's normal because the USB needs to store certain stuff on it inorder for it to work.

Er, no. Not in the slightest. It's because manufacturers market things as 1000kb = 1GB, when actually it's 1024, which means you lose a bit of space.
Either way, there's nothing wrong with the card then?

If you flash ROMs to the 3d, on average how much storage is left out of the 4gb?

Think about it - The Evo 4G had Android 2.3.4, sense 2.3 or something like that and it only used 750 MB of the 1GB.
Imo there is absolutely no way sense uses 3 gb of space..but I can't explain where the Hell it is unless its partitioned for something else..I feel a little duped about that ..they clearly advertised 4gb..but thank god for SD cards
Its probably saved for future updates.
So since some of us have root would anyone like to share what was in the 3 gigs that we unrooted users can't get to?
boom!! from my shooter
The OS LOL, I think is just advertising no ROM that i know of has 3 gb free
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Yes this is very misleading and shouldn't be allowed. They tell you 4gb and you only get 1gb. The photon advertised the same things 16gb internal and you only get to use 8.97gb. It's false advertising to me but it seems to be allowed since they are using it on the OS so that makes it ok. I was dissappointed by the low amount of internal memory when I switched to the Evo 3d. 1gb is a lot but it's still not enough if you are a appaholic.

The android system and sense take up a whole 3 gigs?!?? That just seems outrageous.
boom!! from my shooter
Not just sense. There is a partition that is a backup of sense. Remember when we were first temp-rooting? Any change we made got reverted on reboot. How do you think it did that? It copied over from the "backup sense" any changes that were made to the system or data partitions. That **** takes up space.
Is there a way to get that space,or are better off leaving it alone?

well this is an easy fix if you have a large SD card.
i have my sd card partitioned out 2 extra gigabytes for data. makes up for the false advertising... which i totally agree, by the way, is utter bull****. they should tell you what you are getting in NET storage, not gross.

I'm not that worries about app space bit I also don't put them on the SD I was just wondering if there is like 2 gigs sitting completely unused. I only say that because 3 gigabytes is gigantic for sense sense and android. Unless sense really is that big. I'm not rooted I was on my hero but I applied the ota too early.

What size is the SD card? Picking my EVOLTE up on Saturday wondering if I need to pick up a new sd card as well. Currently have a 16gb class 6
Sent via XDA Premium
From the unboxings that I have seen none of them mention it including one, but I am not positive.
0GB class 0.
It doesn't come with an external like the OG evo did.
So you'll need to supply your own.
Anything up to 64gb works just fine. I wouldn't recommend anything under a class 6.

Bc by not providing a 16gb ext sd Sprint added an extra $10 profit for each phone sold. Duh. It's just a way to cut a corner. I assume it's the same reason for the 18" useless power cable.

I'm sure I would and so would most people who care about an external sd card would put more then they would have giving with the phone. I still have all my cards that came with phones in the past just sitting in a box somewhere cause I would put at least a 16 gb card in it.

meh. I'll be waiting for something with a removable battery and micro SD. I just can't be bothered to spend that kind of cash and get something that could get a pooched battery, then what? Besides, nothing beats having a fresh battery. I've been through 4 already with my amaze, which is inconvenient, so what do you do with one that's out of warranty and you get battery issues?
1080p screen 5" screen + HTC phone + LTE + 2020 mAh non replaceable battery = a phone that will barely get you through your work day, if even that.

Google doesn't like SD cards, so I guess other Android OEMs are following too. Read this: http://androidcommunity.com/googles...s-lack-of-sd-cards-in-nexus-devices-20121030/
I'm happy to hear that the Nexus 4 DOES support USB OTG so I can always plug in my external hard drive or flash drive to the phone.

I added this comment there. I'm baffled by that reasoning...
"If someone can figure out how to connect a Nexus device to their PC using a USB, then I'm fairly certain they wouldn't not suddenly become overwhelmed by this "fandangled device" called an external SD card.
They weren't too complicated for people to use in their cameras, and they even had them in their PCs.
You know what's more complicated? Pairing a Bluetooth device, or NFC and yet these technologies remain persistent....
An SD card, you simply pop it in the slot, and if they don't know it's there, then they're not going to lose sleep over it. No settings pop ups, no panic."
It's a cop out to not include them. And there is more motivation to pay for the higher memory device. It's too bad and on occasion I'm sure the normal user doesn't know which one it is saved to... Why not have the slot, but not include a card. That way those who find the concept 'complicated' don't have to bother with purchasing one and others can... Oh well Google, you're crazy!

All it takes is one manufacturer to see what the rest are doing, and offer the feature that people demand, and sell a ton of devices.
