I'm under the impression that the epic 4g, and nexus s both use inand type storage, however as you probably know the nexus has 16gb of internal storage. My question is if you were to come across the drive the nexus uses can you put that in your epic?

Please post questions in General section.
I was actually going to make a new topic related to this. being so accustomed to copying zips to my sd, and flashing, I wonder what this is going to mean if google or oems are phasing out the use of external storage, or some type of partition ...?
Sent from the future.
I would have to say no on this as its probably build right onto the board itself.

Samsung uses their own OneNAND in our phones, Nexus S uses iNAND which is made by Sandisk...and the GSM phones use MovinNAND...so if you say they all use NAND..I guess thats true..but that doesn't make them remotely the same...

Im thinking of switching to sprint and I like the epic but I have a quick question does it have 16gb internal storage and comes with 16gb micro sd? I know the vibrant has this I'm hope epic does I really want a galaxy with keyboard
Comes with 16gb sd
Sent from my Epic 4G using the XDA App
Ok thanks for the response
Just to be clear. It only comes with 16gb storage and I believe 512mb internal I may be incorrect on the second figure but I can tell u for sure its not 16gb. Only 16gb sd

But we already have it with a keyboard but no gingerbread

And it's seriously making me consider leaving Sprint already, in spite of the fact that I just signed with Sprint on Epic launch day. I'd take stock gingerbread with no keyboard over this broken GPS, no-froyo-having, bulky keyboard pos a thousand times over. Nexus S seriously has me jealous. Why can't we just have all the phones on all the carriers in the states? Damn you, stupid carriers.
cant wait for this
I was hoping it came to sprint

I would LOVE to have a Nexus S. I understand Google might have difficulty programming every network type but I still think it would be profitable for them to have it on all the networks. I think Android has finally hit the point where they have the power to tell the networks what they want, not the other way around.
It should be easy to port too. All of these phones are galaxy s class phones including the Nexus S. Touchwiz is not like HTC Sense which chews up some memory and performance
I have a Nexus One and I like it. I was about to order one on the 16th until I heard that there is 16GB internal memory but NO microSD slot!?
SD makes things easier, such as keeping ROMs and adding, say 20GB worth of music on a 32GB chip.
Being stuck with a 16GB and needing a cable for data transfer is giving me pause...

Exactly. It's a Google phone. It's going to be pure Android goodness. The only part Samsung plays in it is providing the hardware platform.
Vibrant is still miles ahead of the Nexus S. It even looks like a Vibrant! Lol not trying to diss on the Nexus S but no reason for anyone to drop the Vibrant for the Nexus S!

You make it seem so easy to pick. The Nexus S is fully supported by Google meaning that Google will always provide the latest Android version to that phone. Whereas, the Vibrant (or any non-Google device) will take longer because:
A) Companies skin over Android (Motoblur, TouchWiz, HTC Sense)
B) Sent to the carrier
C) Carrier does modifications
.... and its just a long process whereas a Google device would be delivered straight to you without any bloat and is just a pure Google device meant for developing.
And to be honest.. the SD card isn't much of a big deal (unless you use it as a device for music). I don't even fill up my Vibrant's Internal SD card, it's a loss but it wouldn't be the deal breaker.
You're a bit late.
like another guy said in another thread of yours... YOU POST A LOT OF USELESS CRAP . its either INFO thats pretty much alrdy been discussed so many times in media or "HELP ME,DESPERATE" threads.

I am getting kinda worried, that future updates of Android will run slow on my phone cause its only 8GB, doesn't each update become a bigger file and take up more space? I use alot of cloud and streaming services so I dont need much on board storage so I didnt feel compelled to pay 50 bucks for 8gb of storage when I know it too expensive to pay for just that amount of storage. So my question is am I safe with this storage considering future OS updates.
The OS is a few hundred megabytes. You've got nothing to worry about.

The OS it's self is bigger than a few hundred megs, but updates do your device do not necessarily mean your OS is taking up more space. Just because your os is, say, 500 megs and you downloaded a 100 meg update your new total is almost certainly less that 600, depending on the update much of that code is replacing existing code.
Also, performance is not dependent on the amount of HDD space you have available, this is even more true on flash memory. If you max it out to a 100% you're going to have problems, but other than that it matters very little.

Formatted capacity of an 8gb drive is probably closer to 7.5, less some space for the OS + recovery partition + included Google apps, and likely some additional space reserved for future OS updates (though this is just speculation).
Isn't the space for the OS set aside from the usable storage?

No. On older devices you could change mtd and assign size for system, cache, and data(user storage) but, that is not available for the newer devices. You'll have to deal with what Google/lge gave you or switch to 16gb.

It was for the older mtd devices like n1, g1, my touch, hero,etc. I haven't seen recent attempts for emmc support for newer devices, could be that the partitions aren't modifiable anymore. Fire rat stated the cmtd patch on xda but I don't think he does anymore hacks here.

I thought partitions are made by the software? If that's the case then it's modifiable.

You'll have to do some research on custom mtd on Google, it's been awhile so I've forgotten most of the details. However a custom SPL or bootloader were used to allow custom partitions to be made via a text file.

By the time a Android gets that big (in Gigabytes) you would have a different phone with about 128 if not 256 gb of storage
Our system partition is in the mid to upper 800s mb.
It is the same for both the 8gb and 16gb models.
Actual Usable Storage of Nexus and Other Phones
Hi Guys,
I put together a list of the actual usable internal storage of different phones so that we can compare and see which one has how much. This can be found on:

Let me know if you found it useful!

On Digitimes "Samsung reportedly to phase out from microSD card market" as you can see it is being reported that Samsung plans to phase out microSD cards http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20130507PD224.html. Also, consider if they go the way of Amazon, Nexus and the rest with no microSD cards--no way for users to warehouse their own data. Therefore requiring an internet connection to access your own data, then there will be few products out there with microSD cards and the storage you buy will be all you have unless you want to store your information on remote servers "cloud" to be accessed only if you have a web connection.
To voice your opinion about microSD cards you can email [email protected] and input. The more people who input on wanting them to continue to use microSD cards/slots in their future products the better chance they will keep the technology. I know this is a matter of choice and everyone feels differently about it, but, if you value having microSD please contact Samsung.
-Thanks
UPDATE
Samsung replied to my email stating they are checking out the source for the article and information. They are taking into consideration the way customers feel about having devices with microSD card slots & cards. So many people have been emailing, thanks to everyone who has. Before we emailed they didn't know how valuable devices having MicroSD slots & cards were to us. Of course, they said they appreciated our input.
On a final note, if you haven't emailed yet please do, the more the better the outcome.
Thanks again!
They are moving away from making microsd cards, not from having an sdcard slot in their phones...

They would be foolish to remove microsd frome phones and tablets, one of the main reason why I bought Samsung phone and tablet is for the Mico sd, when it comes to the note I would probably keep buying it cause of the pen input but other then that I would move to the nexus lineup

Not saying its a make our break factor but it is a factor and It does help with the decision making, the real question is if you had two identical devices and the one difference was one had an sd slot and one doesn't what would you pick

Last year one that has SD slot . This year not so relevant using a 2TB NAS box .

latest versions of android OS already force people to install all apps to internal memory so i am not surprised if samsung eventually phase out micro sd, i guess i need to buy what i need soon before it's too late, it's a shame because i have a few of their micro sd cards, they are quality built too.

not everyone has access to the internet and cloud data which is what android and samsung need to realize, phasing out a essential feature will only alienate a majority of their customers, maybe it will be their downfall? who knows.
Amazing.
None of you read the original article.
Go read it. They're not phasing out expandable storage on our devices. They're getting out of the consumer market of sd cards.
