I bought a 32 gig Kingston technologies sd card still in original package. Worked for 4 days then could only be read as blank sd card. Called manufacturer, gave the numbers off card and was told out was a fake.
got it straight from a verizon store, I could hardly believe it would be a fake, if anything I'll return it
nvm, it actually reads 30 gb, I was looking at my internal storage the whole time in media link doh!
got this card for a steal too at $50.
when you said fake I was like, hmm explains the price

yea I got real lucky, kinda feel bad when I found out how much they really cost.
Why is the total storage space only showing 19.61GB and not anywhere nearer the 32GB space? Where is almost 11GB?
Anybody noticed this?

I noticed this. The "internal storage" where apps go is something like 7Gb! Why is that and can we change it? Even then, it doesnt quite add up. There must be some reserved space we cannot access I assume.

That's quite a loss of space!
32gb as formatted will be around 28gbs available to the file system. Then you have OS rom taking up 9gb it sounds like.
My droid x 2.2 rom takes up about 3.8gb.
9gb does sound like alot but not unreasonable.

Is it just me or is it just strange to say that you get 32 gig but 9 of it goes to rom?

It is strange. 7Gb goes to the ROM and stores all your data. Personally, I cant see a need for more than 1.5Gb at the moment. Either way, some ability to change it would be nice.
So I asked HTC about this and whether we can link more than one device to HTC SENSE, this is what I got!
Dear Ira,
Congratulations on your new HTC Flyer!
You are correct, a portion of the internal storage is devoted to the device management itself. As you have probably already noticed, the device does also support removable SD Card capability. In regards to the HTCSense account, you are also correct. At this time, only one device can be linked at a time. We currently do not have any information pertaining to any potential updates to the device; however, any announcements will be posted on our www.htc.com website.

Yes, we are fixed, HTC said the following to me also:
'HTC Flyer shows 19.61GB because of many reasons. 32GB is raw memory size and after formatting it is always less than 32gb, it is same like when you formatt your SDcard. Another reason is Android system and all applications are already installed in memory. Your Flyer is not faulty.

32GB wouldn't decrease to 19GB after being formatted.
another CS "inaccuracy" (to remain polite )
I agree with you.
We wish we could get better for the money we pay for these over-priced gadgets.
you have 19.61 for movies and such from watch,( maybe able to use as SD card as well) and then you have 7.24 (+/- a little bit) for applications and ROM so that is pretty close to the 28GB that you get once fromated
My Wifi-only 16 GB model has 8.69 GB total storage space. A little disappointing...
System + data + sdcard (+ some others boot etc) partitions = internal storage...
And yes you did see right... Sdcard partition is infact the internal memory ... The actual SD card is called SDcard2 (from memory)
Kris
I think storage size is as it is.. just partitioned the way not many hope to have..
7+gb for main + 19+gb for secondary memory (aka SDCARD) = 28+gb
Comes up to the same a 32gb SD card would show when formatted.
As to why they have 7+gb, its a personal preference.. if they allow only 1.5gb, some other dud will complain that its too small. They probably ask why didn't htc allow more since they dun need so much secondary storage because of the additional SD option.

I've got just under 2 GB left of the 11.36GB the phone says is available. I've got about 100 apps and my camera is set to save to the external SD. Anyone else using up their memory rather quickly?

Hmm... do you have some enormous apps installed? I still have well over 7 gigs free, and I'm not even using an external SD. I have quite a few pics, a few dozen apps, and some music.
Not that I can see. Largest is Adobe flash at 12.38mb. There are a couple others around 10mb, and the rest are all 5mb or under. 405MB used by apps.
Edit: I think I found the issue. The CWM folder is 7.9GB.
Dear lord, what's in that folder?
9 nandroid back ups. Which is about 6 more than I remember making.
That would be to many backups......LOL

I make a point of deleting old backups, so I've got one backup per ROM I work with.
I rename them manually using ADB. (The phone is always by the computer on USB when Nandroiding.)

Do you have any trouble saving your pictures to the external sd card? When I do about 50% of them come up corrupt.Could just be the card, going to return it and try again this weekend. 32GB class
10 Kingston.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Entropy, I have no idea how I ended up with so many. I suspect it may have something to do with the time I spent trying to screw around with rom manager.
I haven't had any issues so far except for some lag. I have a 8GB sandisk that is probably a class 2 or 4. I'm looking at getting a 32BG class 10 here soon which will hopefully eliminate the lag I'm getting after taking pictures.
I'm curious...what was the problem? The extra backups eating up that much space?
Yup, each back up was about 3/4 of a GB.

Sirooga,
There is a known problem with some 32gb class 10 cards corrupting data in android phones. The workaround is to format it with a windows pc. Do a full format, not a quick one, and the important part is to set the cluster size to 32kb. After that it put it back in the phone and all should be good.

First of all, the newer cards supposedly have updated their firmware so it's not an issue anymore. So if you have a newly purchased card from a supplier with fresh stock I doubt this would apply.
But for anyone having corruption issues it may be worth a try.
Here is a link to a related thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146665
And here is the post I was referring to, cut and paste from the Patriot memory support forum:
"We have found that there is an industry wide compatibility problem with the new Android based and Windows 7 phones working with 32GB class 10 micro SD cards. We have seen issues with the Samsung Focus, Motorola Driod/X, HTC Evo 4g. We are currently working on a solution for this compatibility issue. Google and Microsoft have stated that there are known compatibility issues with 32GB class 10 micro SD cards and are working on a solution as well.
We have found a fix that works in many cases, where you format the card in a Windows based PC, with FAT32, allocation size 32kb, and full format. This is not an official fix, but troubleshooting steps that has worked in many cases, we are still working on a permanent solution for this issue.
Thank You for choosing Patriot Memory!"

My 32gb card is almost out of juice!
I don't know how. My EVO 4G never got as close to low space as my jetstream does. I do have a 64gb card in my EVO LTE. I will swap them out and see if the Jetstream is friendly with it.
Even though it isn't 'supported', it still may work, just as for the EVO LTE.

I am guessing it should work - assuming that Jetstream has no problem recognizing and accessing a 1TB external hard disk connected via connectors. However, I am not sure. Perhaps you could tell us all.
I will be testing a 2TB hard disk on the tablet soon though - will report about that once I do.
Would love to know as well. Thanks

Aye, Time management.
Yes, this device works with 64gb sd cards.

Hey can you please give us the details of which memory card and stuff you are using and formatted in which format (FAT32/NTFS) for the 64GB memory card that works on your Jetstream? Am looking to get one for myself. Thanks in advance.

I couldn't get the 64GB card to work in it's natural state. I formatted it on a SGIII and it would not work. But I put it on my laptop and formatted in FAT32 and it works. They only problem is that FAT32 doesn't recognize files larger than 4GB
Oh ok. Then I guess you can format it in ntfs and then use paragon mount to mount the ntfs memory card and access all 64gb of it. Thanks for the reply.

SD card or bust
I'm really hoping they come to their senses with that. (no pun intended) The one was the first upgrade I've skipped thanks to lack of a sd card, and while the evo lte is still a solid device I'm sure not going to wait another year for a new evo.

This looks like a very promising upgrade for me. But I really am not a fan of phones without SD cards these days...
SD cards are old hat. Don't need them. they are slower and have more issues then on board storage. Just make the new devices with 32gigs minimum of on board storage and all is well.
Nothing more irritating then SDcard 0 and SDcard 1. How many times has this driven good Dev's batty? Ask the sense 5 rom porters.
Not too mention the only reason the EVO LTE doesn't already have a multirom port is because the sd card issue. Years ago I would have told you I needed an SD card slot. Truth is I buy an sd card and throw it in and forget about it. Hvent removed it since the EVO lTE was new and it might have well just been on board storage. I have a Nexus 7 and love the fact that it doesn't have an SD card confusing everything. Love not having to remember which drive the rom is on when flashing in recovery. "now lets see...did that download go to sd card0 "downloads" folder or sd card 1 "downloads" folder?" Yeah enough of that trash!
SD cards are for OG nerds, you fill up a 32 gig phone and I say go buy a real video camera there Spielberg.

That's just it, you put it in and forget it. And in the process, you buy 64GB of storage for $40, instead of $300 (or, not at any price, for most phones). I use pretty much all of my storage on videos and other stuff. That doesn't need to be fast.

Still, I'd love to see them keep it looking pretty damn close to the One. One is the sexiest phone I've ever seen, but I had to skip it due to no upgrade, so anything else made won't look as goof, unless nearly identical.

Some people like to have most of their music with them (me included), and NOT stream from a cloud with ok reception and eat up battery life. Maybe a 128 gb phone would be acceptable, 16 and 32 are not enough, and haven't been for yrs. Better graphical games are bigger nowadays as well. And I have tons of games, and all emulators on mine. Seriously, stop bashing on people who like options. U want to be ruled by Nazis, than get an iPhone! Sorry, but that's my 2 cents
