HTC One w/ 64GB who needs that much space? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I see that the One is getting a large storage 64GB (At&T) from my personal experience and use I've never used or filled a 16GB SD. I like to load and unload files but I never have more than 2-3 movies on a device or more than 5albums....
So why on earth would there be a model w/ 64GB and do people actually buy phones for the storage?

WTF man I was going to say that. Mostly I need it for music, especially since a lot of my albums are FLAC files which take up a lot of space.

Thats more than I have a need for. I mainly store on my external... then load as I need.

I have a 32 with only an 8th of space taken by music, rest is app data, wallpapers and other stuff with only 3GB left. Internal is pretty much full now

My EVO 4g LTE has 16gb int mem & 64gb microsd and it is still not enough for me.
The stuff that I store in it are FLAC albums, 1080p video clips, HD anime series, torrent downloads, installers, movies, etc...
And that amount of storage isn't enough.

I'm looking for a 64gb card right now for my EvoLTE, I got less than 5gb left on my 32gb card...and I already try to keep it as light as I can...8gbs of music, 11gbs of pics, and vids, and 5gbs of movies..it definitely goes quicker these days. But I feel ya, I never thought I'd fill my 16gb card...and when I got my 32gb card I thought finally I'm good...Now I'm looking for a 64gb card ..go figure.

Who needs that much space? I definitely do. I could fit my whole database of music on 64gb and still not need to worry too much about filling up my SD Card. Plus throwing movies on there, flashables, taking many videos and pictures... 64gb doesn't sound like enough. Lol.

Not to mention Nandroids. My backups usually go over 2gb each, if not more.

At least they're putting 64gb in them... I have 18gb of music, and debating about putting a few movies on there for some longer flights I have coming up... I have a 64gb card in mine, and it is down to about 10 gb left I think.
Real Racing 3 is over 1gb, that's just 1 game.
I've been looking at new phones and I'm not liking the direction HTC is going... first non-removable battery, I said ok, I guess I'll have to live without adding a big huge brick to this phone like I did with my previous ones. Now the Droid DNA doesn't even have a memory slot and only 16gb of storage. I know they try to push everyone to the cloud, but some of us like to have stuff on the phone when we don't want to use bandwidth and we don't have wifi nearby... Next phone might have to be a *gasp* samsung... :crying:

Sure is frustrating that they are only giving us Sprint users 32GB...

Only Thing I Hate About EVO 3D

I think HTC dint know how great 3D was going to be.... It was going to be a Gimnick but now is more than that, 3VO community is now downloading movies, downloading photos, sharing photos 3D.
NOW the only Thing i hate about the EVO 3D is that my 8gb card(LOL)It is becoming smaller everyday and this community It's not downloading ROMs yet haha, but its time to go bigger, 16 or 32? What do you guys think it will be perfect for you and for your phone to run great?

Becuase this phone is running an 8gb Class 4
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
Right now, I don't need more than 8gb. On my Epic I had some gameloft games, which I sure as hell don't want to pay for again. I had an 8gb (using the 16gb elsewhere) with 1gb free for backups and roms, without music or movies.
For my use, 16gb would likely be enough. Could hold a couple movies and just move to/from as needed.
only thing i hate is the power button. i can barely feel it and seems worn out already.
i downloaded a lockscreen app so i don't have to use the button as much.
hopefully new case im getting helps big tme
I have a 16 gig right now. Thought that would be enough honestly. But I have 4 3d movies on mine and I'm getting low. Might be time to upgrade to the 32gb. Especially when these roms come in and I start doing nandroids

It would need to be a class 4 or above because I have a 32gb class 2 card and it can't process 3d content its transfer speeds aren't fast enough so now I have a almost worthless 32 LOL

Doesn't necessarily have to be a Class 4 or better. The only benefit of having a Class 4 card is that it is gauranteed to run at 4mbps. This doesn't mean that a 16/32 GB card cannot run at those speeds, just that it isn't guaranteed to run it all the time. My 16gb Class 2 runs at Class 6 speeds. I would just go with a good name brand SD card and grab 32gb. I wouldn't worry to much about the class. It's really a marketing gimmick to me, cause you will not notice the difference in everyday use.
I got a 32. Still have 19gb left. Didn't want to get a 16 then later regret not getting a 32

yeah the evo wasn't that bad but wasn't noticable imo. I noticed the 3d instantly and new i need a app just for that issue.
On the other hand idk why everyone complaining about the 8 gigs. but it is understandable on the 3d, but the 3d on here doesn't even look 3d to me its looks more holographic then anything else so i won't be buying any movies. MAYBE a game or 2 but i want as much space as possible for when the 3d gets unlocked. can't wait for some roms man im dying here lol

No microsd card slot? I was waiting for this phone but not now. I just bought a 64 gb card too. If I wanted to be limited on space I would buy an iphone. What a let down.
We're comin from a pure power source.
If there's no SD card slot than you can forget about it. On some of them they're just sealing the SD cards in so you can't upgrade them.

Exactly, which means the pic isn't the current version of the phone. It was probably an early test model but im sure its been redesigned a bunch of times since then. No matter though, we'll see next week. I would expect a sprint version to be totally different than whats shown off at MWC.

No sd card on "one a deal breaker?

OK so i have been trying to do some research to find out if the "SPRINT" Version of the "HTC ONE" is going to be like all the rest of the carriers,,and i can't seem to really find anything,,For instance when the the "HTC EVO 4 G LTE" correct me if im wrong but i believe ,, the "one x" and the "one s" didn't come with external SD slots,,while the sprint version the EVO came with a SD slot,,and kickstand and camera shutter button,,,,,PLEASE!!! Tell me the sprint version is still gonna stand out from other carriers making "SPRINTS" version of the "ONE" superior.....PLEASE....lol........I'M a BIG fan of HTC since the "HERO" "EVO 4G" "3D" "EVO LTE" and have been lucky to have sprint have my Phone better then other carriers,, I'M afraid to say that if sprint jumps on the "SAMSUNG" band wagon with having just " 1" phone for all carriers the same,,I might jump to the SAMSUNG "JUST" for the fact of not having a external SD..
The external SD plays a huge roll with me,,for instance.....Some "
ROMS that i'v notice will not read external memory will synced to my pc ,where i have all my "ROMS" APK,,AND BACKUPS making me pull my sd and putting it in a sd card reader in order to do what i need to do ,,,ect......And also i dont think i would like the fact that my pictures are being saved "INTERNAL" what happens if my phone drops in the WATER or just get dropped and cracks or i get mad and throw it while on a drunken tour,,,my "PHOTOS are history,,,,,THAT WOULD SUCK!!!!!!!
IS THE "HTC ONE" with no SD card a DEAL BREAKER FOR YOU????
It might be. Depends on the alternative (gs4). If gs4 lives up to the hype then yes it's a deal breaker, if not the one is in the game. My upgrade is next month, if my wife let's me have hers

I really don't see this new HTC One as much of an upgrade. I haven't really looked at the specs, but I'm guessing that it's running the same specs as the EVO LTE, which means it'll probably have the same bugs. All you're really gaining is some nice front facing speakers and a slim package. Now there's no expandable SD slot, you're limited to 32GB and risk losing precious memories if the phone dies?!?! Ummmm... no thanks.

For me it is a deal breaker. I have about 28gb of music on my evo now. All my music was ripped at 320kb or FLAC and I am not changing that. I will run out of space without an sd slot. I don't want to go with a seperate mp3 player and phone just to store all my music. I will wait and see what the 64gb version cost if it ever comes to sprint.
I think it was a bad move to give exclusivity to ATT for the 64gb version, I think some people on other carriers will not switch because they are waiting for the 64gb version.

IM not to sure if the Chinese device dose,,,,,One thing that im wondering to is, SPRINT has not officially said that the "EVO" line is no more,,,,seems like they would of announced something to that nature,,,,,
there is no SD card on any of the models for the HTC one. anything and everything you see that may so happen to look like a slot is for the micro-sim card slot. which they are essentially making like the iphone style with a small slide out holder and you put the sim inside the tray and slide it in.
in regards to the sprint say that the evo line is still alive. i highly doubt that to be true since all the evo line phones were HTC phones. and HTC is moving to a unified platform starting with the ONE. so unless they switch the EVO line to a different brand of phone its pretty much dead.
they tried to save the EVO brand by rebranding the HTC one X as the EVO 4g LTE and look what happened there. so for all intensive purposes i consider the EVO line dead. but that doesnt mean a bad thing, i think its actually a good thing since they will now look to a unified platform for CDMA / GSM variants of phones. which means short of the baseband and GSM requirement software, all the roms should be cross carrier! just my 2 cents not sure if its accurate just hypothetical

What happened there? This phone has gotten pretty good support, better in some cases than One X itself. What exactly do you mean by "look what happened there"?
More of the decision to fragment the phone across carriers. we ended up having 3 different phones when one would have been better ( as they are doing now with the one ). I mean with one phone its easier to update and easier to maintain, fix and develop.
It would have been a better outcome I thinkip if they left the one x name and dropped their evo line naming all together

Please tell me you're trolling... You have to be trolling right now. Have you even read the specs for the device, or did you just pick it up and play with it for a few seconds and think it performed the same?
The EVO 4G LTE was a powerhouse, and the HTC One has a HUGE spec increase over it. Just because there isn't a MicroSD card slot, doesn't mean you can't use the phone. I swear, the phone's been out for like 3 days now and EVERYBODY has become an expert in mobile technology overnight to downplay the phone because it doesn't have an SD card slot. Deal with it. Store your music in the cloud. The phone was announced nearly 2 months ago, so if you're just now finding this out, you really should be paying more attention.

Stores selling the 64gb version?

I'd like to get the One but I have to have the 64gb version. What stores are selling the 64gb such as Best Buy, RadioShack, or Walmart? I'd also love if it were maybe a little cheaper than the current $299 AT&T price

That's awesome. I have 50 gigs from the s3 dropbox deal and the 20k song limit from Google music plus this phone is truly amazing. Go get ur 32 gig op so you don't have to wait for the 64. Hopefully we have helped.

I'm definitely going to need the 64gb. I have around 40 gbs of music that I want kept locally on the device. I've used Google Music and think it's great, but I don't have the data to use it like I would like to. The 64gb is a must and I'm a bit weary about purchasing it online due to the defects some are reporting. Does anyone know if these defects are as abundant in the AT&T version of the phone as they are in the international? I looked at one at the AT&T store and it seemed to be perfect.

I don't think there are any abundant defects in any version. I have a 64GB from ATT and it's perfect, except for the soft buttons not lighting up most of the time but I think they all do that to some degree.
Don't forget the OTG as well. It works great right out of the box. I just moved about 20GB of movie files off the phone onto a flashdrive and it was so quick I was shocked. I wish I'd paid attention to how long it was, seemed like just a few minutes.

I'm fine with the soft keys not lighting up. In fact, I'd rather them be off all the time and I'll make them that way if possible. I just don't see how or why it's necessary and, in the dark, it's excessively annoying.
I have an OTG cable for my Nexus devices and my favorite use of it has to be playing GTA III with a PlayStation controller. I like to show iPhone users that

the 64GB is an online exclusive available directly through AT&T only

Note 3 vs Nexus 6

Hey all
I love my note 3 but I am intrigued by the google fi service. Its only available for the nexus 6. That got me looking at the nexus 6. It looks like a great device plus its almost pure google. Anyo e have experience with the nexus 6 and how it stacks up to the note 3? I have read some comparisons but I like real world experience.
Thanks!
The thing that stops me with nexus devices is the no sd card.

I use internal as a temporary download location (faster write speeds) but then I move to sd card to keep it safe from odin flashing lol.

that.
and for keeping my TB/TWRP backups safe. and extra ROMs if I need a change...
and I also have a fairly large music set, so an SD card helps keep my app space free. and for bringing large movie files with me, on a plane, to a friend's house, to work, etc.
frankly, as soon as I read "no SD card slot" in the otherwise GLOWING review, that's when I stopped caring.
it's too bad because it looks like a nice device.

The only "solution" I have to this is a thumb drive with an otg cable. But even that would be a headache compared to an sd card. Bummer, since no nexus devices will ever have an sd card. Or so I've read.

I'm "sure" there's a good reason for that, but to me it makes no fuggin sense.
a) phones seem to be limited to 32 or (Woah, lookout) 64. ridiculous. RAM is cheap. no reason for this.
b) seeing as manufacturers don't want to go bigger for some reason, and SD cards are cheap, and files get bigger every year... why the ffff... heck would they want to limit our storage to those now-considered-small numbers?
I'm so itching to get away from Sammy, but... everything else seems so "meh".

The s6 has no sd card either.
The only thing Google says is it's safer. To me, they want you to buy more Google drive space. But I hate the cloud payment model. It should be a one time payment. I don't pay 50 bucks every month for a 64gb card, so why should I pay that for cloud. Anyways, we hijacked the thread. My bad op!

Lol its all good. I thank u for ypir guys input. I just ordered the nexus 6. I went thru what i had on my sd card on my note 3. A handful of pics and thats about it. I still have plenty of room left on the note 3s internal memory.

Well dont be jealous yet. I tried to cancel my order. Sprint already has the nexus packed in a box waiting for ups. I placed the order about midnight and called at 8am lol. They said I will be able to bring the unopened box to a corporate sprint store for a full refund.
Why may u ask am i returning it?
I am going to get the 64gb nexus when i get my invite for the google fi plans. I didnt realize i could buy a phone on the early stages of the plan rollout. Im looking forward to have access to sprint, tmobile towers. They both have good coverage here.

I haven't even looked at the Google service yet. I'm under an employee line so my bill is pretty cheap anyway. Plus I can get an upgrade pretty much whenever I want.

Thats sweet! Im on a nice plan with sprint but I am no longer under contract. I would like to have the ability to use tmobile and sprint. I have been using wifi calling with my note 3 and its been good so far.

Nice. Sprint is getting pretty aggressive with their billing. Can't blame em, they need the money.

I have 2 lines both smart phones. 1400 min unlimited data and messaging. Out the door for 150/mnth. I was with verizon but the screwed me over with a warranty phone. They send me a phone with a cracked screen then said i broke it cause there was no way they send out a broken phone. So they charged me 300. I ported to sprint the next month after getting nowhere with verizon. Sprint also has been getting better coverage over the past year around me. [emoji1]
