I have a 16GB (A500-1016u) and when I check the storage tab in setting it shows 27.03GB.
Does anyone know why this is or shows the same thing? It made me double check the box to see if maybe I got the 32GB.
I think it's a lucky draw
you got a 32GB version but was in a 16GB box...
or you got a chinese copy version... haha Samsung HDD
anyway enjoy your tablet
Run df on adb. If /mnt/sdcard is 27G then you are so lucky....

i ran df in teminal emulator and it shows 27GB for /mnt/sccard. That's awesome if it is a 32GB version. Has anyone else had a 32GB in a 16GB package? Is it know to happen? I still don't believe it, just think its reporting wrong.
i got 16 in 32gb package!!!!!!!! gimme me yours
32 for 16? Why can't I get that lucky.
I am actually on my second 16 gig A500. The first one had a stress crack across the bottom left corner. I swapped it out at BB for another 16 gig Iconia.
Wouldn't you know it? They were both 16 gig as advertised!
And here you get a 32 gig by accident on the first try. If I were you I would head to Vegas before my luck ran out.
You are not alone. The A500 I bought from my local Target says 16gb everywhere, but internal memory is 32gb. I'm guessing someone accidently mixed some 32gb chips in with the 16gb chips.
U r lucky man!!

Hi!
Just got myself a A500 (32GB) but my storage only show 12,24 gb available.
When looking in Device Information i see ROM size 16GB.
Does this mean i have the 16gb version ????
The box says 32gb and serials on the device are according to the serials on the box ??
Whay happened to my 32gb ?
Thnx for answers.
Wasn't aware that Acer had released a 32GB Iconia A500 at this time, although the user manual does mention that. If the box says 32GB and the unit says 16, I'd return it quickly.

US get the 16gig but all of Europe (from what i've seen) have only the 32gig version so far.

So, ROM size 16gb really means i have 16gb version ?
And yes, i paid for a 32gb version just as the box says.
Will be calling the store and Acer tomorrow.
Thnx
Box is labeled wrong
You paid for a 16 GB version but got a box for a 32 GB version. It's confusing but what do you do. They should have included a 16 GB microSD card with them. I had the same thing happen at Best Buy in the US. they can only refund your money.

Can anyone confirm this? I bought a 32gb Acer Iconia Tab aswell. Romsize says 16bg. I contacted the place where I bought it, and they replied that it is infact 16gb romsize for the 32gb version. 16gb romsize, 16gb of filestorage for 32gb version. 8gb romsize, 8gb for filestorage in the 16gb version.
It's a bit off topic but does anyone know or have an idea or rumor as when 32GB version will be available in US?
I might be wrong, but I don't think "ROM Size" under "Device Information" is the same as your sdcard storage.
Look under Settings -> Storage. Under "Internal Storage", you should see "Total: 12.51GB" if it's a 16GB version. If it's a 32GB version, you should see something in the mid 20's, i'd assume.
I'm not sure how they come up with that, they must be taking some out for factory installed apps. My internal storage as 12.51gb total, and my 16gb external sdcard says 14.97gb. I would have thought they would be the same.
I have 32GB written on Box and also in the device I see 32GB space...

The internal storage has several partitions(divisions in the total space) that allow android to run. I'm not sure on sizes for this tablet, but generally you've got around 2-4GB dedicated to Android. That'd leave you with 12-14GB of space for your personal data. Sort of like a computer with a 1TB hard drive. Even 100% empty, the data structures and rounding off of numbers make them 930GB or so. After you put Windows on it, you've got 915GB free. So a new computer with a 1TB drive would have maybe 900GB free. The drive is 1TB, but to get any use out of the system, you need to use some of the space.
With regards to the issue with 1tb drives mentioned, that's because drive manufacturers call 1000mb a gb but MS correctly calculate it as 1024mb to a gb.
The internal storage quoted includes the Rom but I don't see why the Rom on the 32gb device is twice the size of the Rom in the 16gb device. I have had a ported honeycomb on my desire hd and that only has 1.5gb of storage.

The ROM size, which I'm pretty sure isn't a ROM at all, and is just a partition in the MTD, shouldn't be more than 4GB at most. That'd be more than enough space for android and lots of apps. I know on ClockWorkMod you can repartition the device to use more or less space, but we don't have that as an option at present.
A 32GB tab having 27GB free sounds reasonable. 32,000/1024=31.25 - 4GB = 27.25, add in some extra space used for filesystem structures(ext filesystems by default reserve 5% for the superuser) and it adds up.
I went to bestbuy Canada today
they hada 32gb in stock at the store as a demo
storage said 27GB available for Internal.
If you bought a 32 and only 16 is showing take it back.

Under no circumstance should you be getting what you're getting. 27GB sounds right.
I have a 16Gb, but file managers are showing that there is about 27Gb free. There is no SD card installed.

If so, you probably got the 32gb that was supposed to be in the boxes of the people who actually bought 32's. For them, taking it back is recommended. For you, I'd hang on to it, consider it early Christmas.

hahaha...they probably mixed up yours and mine.
But anyways, i got a new A500 with the correct filesize..that is Romsize 32gb.
All the Iconia A500s I've been playing with in stores for the past 2 weeks in Scotland are 32Gb.....and incidently priced at £449
/rant
where? i thought so too, until i had a look at the branded ones (dont care cos i flash anyway). At least here in germany you can get a blue 32gb one for 600€. bought mine 2 weeks ago, very happy
Why do you even need that? Isn't a class 10 32 gb card plus 16gb internal memory sufficient?

Naw. Never enough.. I have started to use my phone as my media player now that we are getting into real numbers. With 26GB on the phone after wasted space. 60 from a 64 micro sd and 50 dropbox. I'm finally close to my 160 iPod that is full and had for years.

I got my 32GB version from Vodafone Greece for 729euros.
The sale contained the Samsung Essential Gift Pack. :laugh:
I wanted a 64gb one but realised i was gonna have to wait FOR EVER to find one and pay like 700 quid so i just got a 16gb with a 64gb card.
Got like 10gb of space left on the card and 100mb of space left on the phone now, less than two weeks in.
Needs moar space.

It has 16gb of space before Android and everything else is installed. This is normal.

i mean you never have full amount advertised on any phone or tablet, its been that way since breakdancing was popular
Ordered a 32GB but it only shows 13.05GB total. That's because they mistakenly shipped me a 16GB (shows 16GB on serial # sticker on back of unit) with replacement on its way.
I don't mean at shows and demos but has any i9500 (not i9505) been seen with more then 16GB yet, actually for sale?

Not yet..... I waited many days for 32 gb variant, but nothing.
Then..... 1 month ago I have 16 gb variant, using "folder mount" app. I use a 32 gb sdcard and all my games and big data apps (I have about 16 gb) is stored in sdcard, and my S4 storage has 6.60gb free !!! :fingers-crossed: the 32gb or 64 gb variants not needed after all......just saying.

Thanks but I've found in the past some E-Bay sellers list products not actually yet shipping to get their order books full.
Has anyone physically seen an internal 32gb unit?
Go for the one posted in the link. That is where i also bought my phone from and yes he post straight away and it is genuine 32gb internal memory. Very happy with it.
I bought the 16Gb one, i don't need more than that because i dont install much apps and i use a 64GB microsd for my music and media, i had a 32GB S3 but only because i didnt want to experience the sudden death of the 16GB models
I'll ask the question yet again and hopefully people won't push to a link for ebay auctions this time.
Has ANYONE actually seen a S4, in the flesh, with more than 16gb of internal memory. Your brothers second cousins seeing one doesn't count, your link to a seller supposely selling one doesn't count, seeing one at a show doesn't count....touching one with your own hands does count!
Sent from my GT-P6810 using xda app-developers app
Nope.
So there does not appear to be 32GB or 64GB variants of either the S4 or the S4 active actually shipping......
I wonder when/if Sammie will pull their finger out and start? With S4 sales supposedly below target it's the natural thing to do to boost demand although only after the channel has sold through the bulk of its stock.

Yes, I also done this, and moved over 5 gb of game datas, my internal memory is 7.1GB, I don't think I need a 32 gb model.

Hi, anyone has experienced with N9005 16G internal memory? Is it the same with the 32G (not mention about internal memory)? Thanks.
I read that although Samsung told the world it would only sell a 32g and 64g version of this phone but at the end it only released the 32g version and because of carrier pressure it made an European 16g version maybe that's your model

I can't see the point either. They are only about 10-15 bucks less from the 32G ones. I guess it's for the no-game on phone people and with bloatware and OS, i think it's only got about 6G left?

I got the N9005 16gb model too.
I was a bit afraid that it wouldn't be enough, but i think i will manage.
The phone comes with exactly 16gb memory, not like my old galaxy nexus that came with 13,3gb(i think) even though i bought the 16gb model.
You will have close to 10gb or just little more then 10gb left for use right when you get it, if i remember correctly.
If you plan to buy this model and install large games/apps, i can recommend you to use a program called FolderMount. It lets you link the app data to your SD card without the hassle of needing 2 partitions on the card.

Hi, thank you for your information. I will get the 16G then because I cant wait for the 32G I think I can manage the internal memory usage, thanks for the app FolderMount. I used to have Note 2 16G, and got no problem at all. I also have 32G SD card, and not a gamer.

I was in your position before too, whether to get the 16gb model or wait for n9005 32gb variant to be sold here. I just couldn't wait anymore and went for the 16gb region free model. Happy so far!
I'm currently having 9.5gb free usable space after installing some games/apps. Space shouldn't be a problem now after finding out about that app and using my recently bought 64gb micro SD-card.
