Not showing up as 4gb? - Samsung Gear S

Hi All,
So i thought the gear S had 4gb storage for music?? Isn't this what it says all over for specs? I just plugged in my verizon Gear S model and it shows up as 2.44gb with 2.08gb available?!? Anyone else have this problem? Is this 4gb or not?

It is but the OS takes up a lot of room. 4 gigs for music AND Tizen AND sound effects AND apps ...

yes perhaps, but my gosh, 1/2 the promised space available? The apps i've installed to the watch so far are at most 1mb in size and average 500kb. What the heck did they put in this watch that takes up 2gb of bloat? How disappointing! I was going to load this up with music tracks for my workouts etc and this is what i'm left with...

[Q] Music popping

I'm playing some podcasts from Listen and as far as I can tell it is storing the files on /sdcard which is the internal storage. That should in no way be a bottle neck. But I'm getting clicks and pops through my headphones and even through the speaker on the back.
I've read around a few places that the available RAM may be a problem but I can't find the free version of Elixer on the market to test this out.
Anyone else experience this issue from the internal memory and been able to prevent it? Do I have a bad device? (I also have stuttering HD and DVD video recording even when set to internal.)
I don't have lots of apps installed, maybe a dozen. About 8 games, Twidroyd PRO, Listen, groupon, living social, and a flashlight app. Nothing that should be killing the phone's performance (IMO). Also I am completely stock and haven't done any rooting, etc.
Edit: I installed Elixer to view some stats and while doing so my audio stopped. This used to happen on my Moto Droid and I figured it was due to memory limitations. Sure enough my available ram on my DX2 is 45.7MB. Doesn't seem like a lot free out of 400MB. Is this normal?

I assume you mean "Yes" it is normal for this phone. My Motorola Droid (original) did not suffer this problem. It had it's own set of memory related problems but I never experienced clicking/skipping audio.
That being said I assume you have one. What do you intend to do about it? I'm trying to gauge other people's response as well. I'm contemplating returning it and getting another device but I really like the large screen phones and don't need 4G.

We got application storage and internal storage, each 3,5gb and 8gb
I 'm not sure if the application storage is part of internal of not.
But i think its 16gb, moto use some of it and left us pure 8gb. And 3,5gb for app storage.

if i'm not wrong sgs2 has about 10-11 gb, the rest for system needs.
8 gb of 16 seems weird...
How's the audio quality through headphones?

no reviews?
As a mobile phone, signal reception and phone speaker in conversation is great, at least better than my nexus s. But the most important thing is the battery life is amazing and moto's smart action app is very handy, no need to manually switch betweet wifi and mobile data and turn off certain functions when needed, should be standard for android system!!

I have a galaxy s2 i777 rooted and all that good stuff. Im trading it tomorrow for an iphone 4s. Meaning I will be a day without a phone because my sim card will not work on it. What is the easiest way to store everything that was on my galaxy i777 to my computer for future use and the biggest thing GAME SAVES!. I have like 15 hours clocked in Final Fantasy Dimensions and alot of grinding went on. So im desperate to back it up. Pictures,text messages,game saves EVERYTHING. Any help would be hugely appreciated! Thanks!

Ummm! OK! Data (pictures, musics, etc...) I understand you can save and move it over to iPhone 4S. But how are you going to save the game data and play the game from Android to iPhone? Titanium Backup would be great if you are going from one android phone to the other. Does iPhone even have Final Fantasy Dimensions game in their Apps store? Just wondering. Is the game data saved locally on your phone or on the server (meaning you'll have to sign-in to play)?

SO?
you realize you cant just copy that data over to iphone and expect it to work, right?
hell, i would love to see you copy it over to the iphone, period. you know, with its lack of filesystem accessible to human beings.
Took me 2 sec to do a google search. This might help you along the way in migrating to iPhone.

Lol i think im letting my love of the original 4(Brought when released) get the best of me. But I dont see many options for android when it comes to high end devices thats LTE compatable(What I want in a android phone) at the price range of 300 bucks(On craigslist/ebay). The best phones seem to be the Galaxy s3,HTC One X or the iphone 5. I dont want the One X because of lack of external memory,the s3 everyone has -_-...want to be a little unique and well I was looking at the Sony TL and the battery life doesnt seem to have any praise.
says he wants to be unique.
opts for an iphone.

ROFLOL... @ STravers - unique? I don't think so. iPhone is the trends (fads), that is not being unique. You might as well waited for the SIV. Supposedly coming in a few months ahead. It got the whissles and bells, and supposedly virtual keyboard that comes with the docking station. Now (to me) that is unique.

you mean unroot right?
Don't unroot. Go into the android development and hacking forums and find a script to make your phone faster, and flash it in CWM recovery. If you can't do that, overclock your phone using the No Frills CPU Control app off the Play Store. Make sure both sliders are at the end and that your governer is Performance. Also, try out Auto Memory Optimizer, that's a good app for retaining your speed. And of course, always close apps when you aren't using them.

That's not how my friends S4 works, it is extremely responsive and fluid. Apps work without hiccups and even multi tasking is awesome. The first thing that came to my mind when you posted your phone's symptoms were, did you purchase it brand new from a shop? Is it on stock FM? Did you actually check it at the store before your purchased it?
Yours could be a FW or a HW problem. Is it possible to take the phone back to the store and have them fix/replace it before attempting software fixes?

Several things can cause a rise in temperature. Multiple apps running, using browser with multiple tabs open or high data usage. Also games can cause heating. It's probably normal but keep an eye on it for a bit.
