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.

Sd card on mine is called ext_sd
I wonder if anyone's looked in to this? Could be huge - most of us have a dead simcard slot - I wonder if there's a way to hack in an sdcard reader to the hardware?
What dead MicroSD card slot?
Do you mean the slot that has the serial # info and has nothing to do with ab SD card?

He said dead sim card slot, not dead MicroSD card slot. The OP clearly realises the slot has nothing to do with an SD card. Seems you have misunderstood or not bothered to read it properly but nevertheless im sure the pretty much redundant piece of plastic with the serial info is something that I'm sure a lot of TP users would be prepared to sacrifice if they could mod in a card reader.
If you're going to hack anything then hack the USB port to work as a host and read away!

Yes, I misunderstood... my apologies.
I've wondered if it would be possible to solder in a wire from a +5v somewhere to the USB. (I'm sure someone will quickly point out if this is a "bad" idea...)

you would probably need to create 5v first. the touchpad I think runs off something like 3v. while I seems like a good idea to hack in a card reader,my feeling is not to.worry until you in out of memory. a better idea might be a device stuck to the back containing a extra battery and a card.reader. It would make the tablet thicker but increase battery life and provide plenty of storageas well as providing the power needed for the reader.

This would also be awesome. I think it would take a bit more for this though than an sdcard since the sdcard can operate up to 3.7v.

Well that's not near what the OP was talking about. An SD card that give you build in storage, even on the go, is much more practical than this option.
Still could be useful, but for me it not very practical.

I don't have a problem...
1. I didn't see where he asked about it... my apologies there.
2. Just pointing out the limited usefulness compared to the SD card solution.
I wasn't trying to be a jerk.
Personally I think the best solution would have been if HP would of just included an SD or MicroSD card. It drive me nuts when manufacturers mimic the apple model and give you less option and features as if that will equal success (looking at you Touchpad and GalaxyTab 10.1).
Um... Looks like the subject is just about buried in the amount of crap everyone has been piling on so far.
So back to constructive discussion... What are the advantages of having SD card in your mobile device (be it a phone or a tablet)?
I have a 16GB microSD card in my Nexus One, and I have never taken it out. I almost wish all of the flash was just integrated.
With quality of USB and network file transfer protocols I think SD is just about useless.

Very simple, I can put all my photos, videos, documents, downloads, Maps for my GPS apps on my SD card. It leaves more space on my device for apps and if and when I wipe my device I don't lose any of it. I've had time when I was having an issue with a device and had to wipe everything. Having certain files on my SDcard kept me from loosing anything. with my phone I've stored different ROM on my SDcard so I could test them out and switch between various ROM with ease.
I don't take my SDcard out either, the purpose of the SDcard isn't to move files from you computer to you phone but rather as storage.
But, I'll give you $10 for that useless 16GB microSD card.

Technically a TouchPad without hardware damage is unbrickable, USB is connected to CPU so you could always push a boot image to RAM.
You do bring up a valid issue, but some of the ways you can stop relying on local storage are cloud storage and cloud backups. These Palm accounts that we get with WebOS on the TouchPads do just that.
Which brings us to the next question, can we have an application to access our Palm accounts from Android?

But I like local storage. I rather have my music on my SD card. There are some picture I'd also like to have on my device locally. Same with documents and a variety of other thing. I don't have to have everything on there, but there are something I would like to have. Not to mention that being a WiFi device I can't always have access to cloud storage.
There is room for both in my opinion.
OK, I'm done... back to you regularly scheduled thread.
ive been curious about this since i got mine, but i have a 32gb, so its never really been a project in the front of my mind...imma take a look at the whitesheets and teardowns (cuz i dont wanna open mine if SD isnt possible ) and see if there are even pins for data available, but im pretty sure there isnt, which would also explain why devs are working on getting OTG running
Hello!
From what I've read, the 1st-gen Windows Phones (Trophy, Mozart, HD7, etc) have a SD-CARD memory instead of a NAND. By using this, a lot of people expanded their memory by swapping the SD-CARD.
Does the Radar have an internal SD-CARD or a NAND storage?
Thanks,
Andrei.

You'll see a SD card at 1:35.
I didn't see one.
Me neither... Are you sure?
Under the SIM card slot. Or I misunderstood?

It's not. It does kind of look like one though.

Nope... Actually you can see that between 3:30 and 3:34 (need to watch in slow motion) that there is one block-chip that is orange dotted. It seems to be a NAND of the phone. What is more, it sizes reminds me the iPhone NAND storage produced by Samsung and while hTC loves to cooperate with its South Korean friend (i've got hTC Desire which is made in 50% out of components that come from Samsung's factories ) I can speculate that it is similar chip. And that unfortunately means that Radar's storage is unexpendable .
P.S. Sorry for any mistakes English is not my native language.
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
I have meant to reply to this thread and keep forgetting.
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.

I can't seem to figure this out?
I'm really disappointed that this came with only 32gb storage. That's why I want to adopt storage. Most of my apps won't properly move to the SD card.
