I just bought the sprint hero and it has 288mb internal phone storage but i was surpised see that when I took it out of the box, it only had 142mb left for apps. In other words, 138mb is being used by the phone for preinstalled apps and system files. My question is what is the internal phone storage out of the box for the mytouch?
Wierd, I went into my MyTouch with stock 1.6 ROM:
Firmware Version: 1.6
Build Number: DRC92
When I go into SD Card and Phone Storage and look at Internal Phone Storage: Available Space, I have 265MB available.
you are confusing ram with rom, the 288 on the box is ram. it has 512mb total rom for the os and apps.

Thank you for your answer. I am still confused, however. Could you tell me why I only have 142mb available in the internal phone storage straight out the box?
because senseui and the hero rom takes up a fat amount of space.

I used a software called Quick System Info v1.5 to check my phone's information. But I got the information below.
Total internal storage: 186
Total memory: 186
That's very ridiculous, how can it be so little? Anything wrong with my phone?
Any help, Thanx very much.
??? 186 what? MB?

MB. The Advanced task manager tell me there is about 80Mb left as soon as I open my phone. Any idea about what happened?

I think that's normal...
It has 256 MB of RAM, and the OS and basic apps use part of it.
It also has 512 MB of ROM, which is internal memory used for apps.
If it's not enough I suggest installing a custom ROM with apps2sd and swapper enabled.

If I may, can you tell me about the ram and rom left when you just install a new rom? the information for now is also ok to me. So I can make a judgement. Thank you very much.

Hi everybody
I am using a android SD build with exceller boot loader. today i was about to flash MAGDLR on it so then i can flash Android NAND build, but when i did active sync and i opened the option to view my files on my sd card, here comes the problem when i opened it i saw two 1GB disks.
I only have 1GB sd card in there and i thought HTC hd2's only have 576mb of ram then why is it showing me two 1GB disks.
I can upload a Picture if u would like to see it.
Thanks.
1gb of RAM? You mean ROM right? Rom is internal storage while ram is active memory or whatever, i won't dive into it.
Well maybe your phone is a TMOUS HD2, which has 1 gb of ROM, EU hd2's have only 512mb.
If you see a t-mobile logo at the top of your phone, your phone is a TMOUS hd2.
do u mean, when i install an app it install its on the ROM?
"I am not a NOOB"
It matters not whether or not the HD2 has 576 ram or what not, why would the ram show up as a place as to where you could store files? It's not supposed to happen or possible. >.>
You're running winmo on NAND and boot android through SD card, correct?
1gb refers to the NAND storage
1gb refers to your SD card
These are ROMs, not RAM.
Yes I got it. It was the nand storage and now I have installed android on it so it is done now.
Thank you all

Hello.
To begin with, I am new to this.
I tested the Android builds "DFT_Nand..." for a long time now but only on the memory card but not until now tested sharply into the phone.
I have problems with lack of space in my HD2. It has 512 MB internal memory and a 16 gigabyte memory card. I have now installed the Android and discovered that I only see 125 mb of phone. Is there a way to expand patitionen?
so it is possible to utilize all available space. When installing software from the marketplace so you can move most things to the memory card but not all.
Grateful for answers.
Otherwise the phone works absolutely great with this build.

This needs to go in the Q&A forum, not the development forum.

Yea but i am already run appmonster and i run all apps from sdcard and still i only get 14mb Free and still want to use all phonememory that is avalible.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
ap2sd, data2ext is different
Try the ROM in my sig. 320mb of free storage after you freed up 24mb from magldr.
with data2ext you make an ext2/3/4 partion on your sd card and the phone shows it as phone memory,but it depend on the ROM if it uses data2ext or sometimes you can choose it in a configfile. so just try another rom, my favorite is coredroid, a Desire HD ROM but very fast and with widgets in the notification bar like Galaxy S
Just to make this clear. By internal storage, they mean the ROM of your device. So that means you have 512 ROM. And ROM is the space for where the OS/bootloader, radio, apps, get installed.
Therefore when you say there is only 125 mb space free, that means that the android rom you just installed & bootloader took up the 387mb ROM you so claim to be missing. So is anything wrong with your device? Conclusion: No. Solutions? The people above have given them.
In my phone, when i run appmonster it says:
Phone 114,00MB / 24,05 MB Apps: 49
SD 14,83 / 6,93 GB
Maybe i missunderstand but the phone complain against my phone-storage.
ap2sd, data2ext is different
Installed coredroid and now i dont have any problems with space
Didnt know what the problem was so i reeinstalled another version of Android and it seems to work nice, it is very very fast.
Thanx for all your help.

How do i know if my HD2 is the leo 1024 or 512 or Tmous?
If it's a tmous version. it will have a T-mobile logo on top of the screen and a green button for picking up call and red button for hanging up. also, 1024 is the same as tmous
All TMous are 1024
Can you get 1024s on O2 UK, cos I'm running android off SD card, and need to store apps on the phone storage, and it says I have 1gb internal memory? I'm slightly confused, cos it says this in Winmo as well
O2 use the EU 512's
The apps that only run from phone memory need to be installed there, but use app 2 sd to move the apps that will work on the sd card

Like post #2 said if you have a red end/power button and a green send/call button and have T-Mobile in silver at the top of the device right under th ear speacker. Then you have a TMOUS HD2. Also if you had 1024MB in the ROM flash,memory in Settings>About Phone>Hardware Information in Windows Mobile you have a TMOUS.
Where exactly are you lookin at in the settings while in Android to see 1GB of memory? I have a TMOUS and I am running Android from NAND and I only see 411MB of Memory on mime.
I think the OP means he has 1gb memory but i assume means that the data image file within thr android sd build is 1gb .img. This i assume is what is used to store all the apps and.data when running android from SD card (1gb = loads of android storage) If i am correct then the oeiginal 448mb that is reserved for stock winmo and can only be used while booted un winmo...ie...is untouched when running android from the sd card...I Think!

Dang how did I miss the fact he was talking about a SD card build, crap must have been off in la la land when I read that post.
How come when you run Magdlr cwm zips you have a limited amount of memory compared to a sd android build. i thought the tmous had 1gb memory?
Sorry, My bad...my post wasnt in reference to the OPs original question but was instead referencing Nigeldk post
Slightly confused tho as to how or why you can see 1gb internal memory in winmo. are you maybe seeing 1gb avialable storage on your memory sd card while in winmo? Since im sure my EU hd2 only shows 448mb "intenal storage" but in reality only has around 199mb avialable for actual personal programme/media storage. I assume the remainder of the 448mb is given to the actual winmo system apps/files. Dont take my word for it tho as im pretty new to the hd2 and still working things out
MAGLDR had to be compatible with all HD2's that ment that the size was limited to 512MB since only the US tmobile HD2 has the 1G nand.. so what ever you put magldr only wrights to about 512MB
(so ive heard, and makes sense) feel free to correct me

You are correct the DFT had to make MAGLDR compatible with all HD2's. Being that the TMOUS has 1024MB of ROM and the EU HD2's has 512MB of ROM. but I do not think it is limited to 512MB of ROM cause if that was the case you would not have separate ROM downloads for EU HD2's and TMOUS HD2's.
I do know though that MAGLDR was made to work with the TMOUS's 576MB of RAM just like the TMOUS Win Mo ROMs. This is why you have to have a 2.07.50.xx or higher radio with MAGLDR and also why MAGLDR unlocks the extra 128MB of RAM in the EU HD2's
I was probably looking at the wrong thing. It says 576mb in actual fact, which makes more sense. Thank you so much for your help

Hi,
Different ROMS give different amounts of internal memory when they're loaded.
Also as you install more apps,the internal storage goes down.
Solution:
remove apps
move apps to sd card
new ROM
what rom are you using?
