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.

Ok, thank you.
I just installed, uninstalled HSPL and reflashed stock
On stock should my device be showing
Total storage 688.48 MB
Used 75.26
Free Storage 613.MB
I want to be sure, because I am not sure if I was suppose to be seeing 1GB knowing that this is the T-mobile version...
please help
The total storage size is/was always less than the flash size specified. It is normal to show 6xx Mb total storage. Same as the case with Euro HD2 which shows 2xxMb total storage although it have 512Mb flash size.
I think the balance for radio, SPL, Splash, etc.
ok thank you very much thought i did something wrong
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

I see hd2's flash memory size is 512mb. But I get only 169.72 mb of storage. How could that be possible? Even in device info it says that the flash memory size is 512mb!!!
The rest of your ROM storage have been ate by OS and progs
It is used as HDD in your home PC, for storing system files. Maybe you have to reflash other custom ROM which have less progs and without Manila, then you will free some storage IMHO.
It's not so bad in your case, mine shows in memory info tab 219MB total, 69,32MB used and 150MB free space, but in system info flash size is 512 MB as yours.

What version ROM and Radio do both of you have? The reason I ask is to fool your HD2 into thinking it has the 1024MB like the TMOUS you need a 3.14 ROM and a 2.15.5014 or a 2.14.50.xx radio. You also need SPL 3.03.0000 or HSPL 3.03.
I think you are confusing yourself with the ram trick, T-mag.
You can't fool a reg Leo into thinking it has 1024rom (and why would you? No benefit)
If you use the nk.exe taken from any tmous version, cook it into a reg rom (or use the whole tmous rom of course) plus any tmous radio on a reg Leo, it unlocks the extra 128meg ram to match the tmous at 576meg.

Lol, Sam is right, it's a self-fooling thing bggg
I have EU version of HD2, 448MB RAM and 512 MB ROM, that's enough ROM for me cause all progs I do need can be installed on SD.
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
