Swapping 16 gb for 32 - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If google ends up releasing a 32gb version of this phone shortly after release, is there any chance that we would be able to exchange the 16gb one for a 32 paying off the price difference? I might be fine with 16gb, but I'm worried that I may fill it with pictures considering how easy it'll be to snap them of literally anything now haha.. That and a select few gigabytes of music !
If anyone knows about their exchange policy please fill me in (did anyone do this for the nexus 7?)

Not likely, why would they incur the costs and massive numbers of used phones?

Sadly you're probably be right, though I wish there was a way to get it now but have 32 gb version

I don't mind, now. It's obvious Google doesn't make too much on these phones. Doing what they're doing ensures they don't make a loss, they can then sell the 16gb for $300 and 32gb for $350. Plus we don't have to wait.

Anyone here still waiting for the 32 or 64 GB version?

I don't think that I can wait any longer since there is not a single news on the anticipated 32 GB 3G version. Even vendors from the U.K. don't have them in stock.
So does anyone know anything about when the 32 or 64 GB (3G version) will come out? I googled but did not find anything.
Might as well enjoy the awesome tab 16 now and 64 gb microsd. even the samsung galaxy note 32 has not come out and it s been out since november.

This is exactly what I'm doing with mine
Cloudsource stuff like your music and pictures by using Google services (Picasa, Google+, and Google Music), and put the heavyweight content like movies and TV on your 64GB SD card, and it works brilliantly!
I'm waiting until they release the update to ICS before I even consider buying this tablet. I finally gave up waiting for the Gingerbread update for my T-mobile GT7 and loaded the German 2.3.6 ROM to my Tab last week. I don't care who held up the update, I won't trust them to release the update for the new Tabs until the day they actually come out. Hopefully, if they do release it soon, it will be after the 32 and 64GB version come out.
One of the big advantages of the GT 7.7 (and the reason I pulled the trigger) is the MicroSD card slot, which the 8.9 and 10.1 don't have. So get a 16GB model and order up at 32GB card for $50 or less (just buy a name brand). The extra memory you get on SD will be a lot less than what you would pay Sammy for, for the same bump in memory.

personally i'm waiting for the 64GB version
i really want this tablet, but i'm not spending money on the 16GB it's simply too little for me
I want 32GB at least but the samsung stores say they will only carry 16GB version but Im also waiting a bit..
a 32gb class 10 card will be cheaper and faster (and give you 48GB space) than the 32GB internal storage.
I already bought a 64gb micro SD card and wanted it for the 32 or 64gb tab. The more storage the better IMO.
I. Beginning to think that the bigger storage tabs won't see release soon enough to warrant a purchase tho.

I could not wait any longer so I took the plunge and ordered it today from Negri Electronics....even without the coupon code. Man...I kicked myself for missing the coupon code by one day. I don't think there will a new code for awhile.
I also went ahead and ordered the 64 GB micro SD card from Amazon for $145.
In the mean time, I will just play with my Galaxy Note until I receive its big brother.

With the squeeze at the cheap end from the Fire an Nook it will be even harder for non Apple tab makers to offer higher storage options because that will make them even more expensive and more vulnerable to the low end units. For too many the decision comes down to: Do I pay $200 for a decent tab, $550 for a great tab with 16GB or $700 for a great tab with 64GB -- odds are the over whelming number of people opt for either the $200 decent tab or the $550 great tab with 16GB.
This sucks because I to would prefer the 64GB version but suspect it will never be made...

Why wait...?
The trouble is if you wait 6 months for the 64gb to become available... there will be another one announced, forcing for you to wait... then that'll become available in the smaller sizes, but you wait for the bigger sizes, but before they become available someone else announces the next best thing. and so on.
You gotta pick your model and get your hands on it as early as possible in the cycle.

I'm really waiting for the ICS update to be released before I consider buying one because I don't trust Samsung to release it in a timely manner. Until then, I can make do with my original Galaxy Tab. If the higher capacity memory models come out in the meantime, then that's just a bonus.
I wouldn't wait to be honest, Samsung's track record in relation to bringing the higher internal spec'd versions to market is rather poor. The Note hasn't yet arrived, the 16GB Galaxy S took forever, I'm not sure if the 32GB S2 ever materialised, they've just cancelled the 32GB GSM Nexus etc etc...
64GB model was announced at some large Russian retail stores
they'll start selling it very soon for the price of 16GB 3G plus $167...

I don't trust Samsung either, I want to buy the 7.7 but only when it comes with ICS. I have seen what happend with the original Tab and now Samsung is releasing the 7.0 Plus with ICS (Tab 2), which I'm quit sure will mean that the 'old' 7.0 Plus (just 2 months on the market) will not have ICS and maybe the same for 7.7. This will not happen to me.
Since they will be announcing new tablets on the MWC, for sure ICS will come at a later date of already released devices, there is also a possibility that this wont get ICS in a timely manner.

The Expansys 32Gb has been there for months now. Only pre-orders (= nothing within at least the next couple of weeks).

where is the 32gb models?

and why do we have no info on when they will be available? all i see is 'coming soon" on the at&t page. why bother giving us the price tag a month ago then not having them up for presale? will they even be available upon launch on at&t?
Samsung are always the same they say there are 32 and 64 models but they never ever see the light of day here in the UK

just spoke to at&t and they said the 32gb model will probably not be available at launch. yet they have the $249 price tag in their systems already. if true i guess ill hold off upgrading. what a mess.
EDIT: i also see they never carried the 32gb model of the s3 so im wondering if we will ever get a 32gb edition of the s4?

I am wondering the same thing. It's just speculation of course, but I wouldn't be surprised if the 32 and 64gb versions will only be available through Verizon in the US. So AT&T gets first launch but Verizon gets a better variety? I guess we will know soon. I guarantee there are managers at AT&T that already know, but as usual, are not saying.
hope it won't be like last year when they cancelled the galaxy s3 64GB version
yeah i got fed up and just ordered my 16gb edition on at&t.
I'm won't buy the 16gb. I want 32 or 64gb. I'm in UK and Samsung won't reveal anything. 16gb is no good as only 8.9gb is free to users. And all apps and games and app data has to go in phone memory. Not micro sd.
I don't see any reason for AT&T to skip the 32GB, they have it as coming soon. Some speculate that Samsung is pushing the 16GB out first since its more popular but I don't see why they can't get both capacities out, its a pre-order for a reason.
I am porting from Verizon to AT&T so I have to wait and I'm stuck on a crappy old flip phone while I wait. I didn't want to get stuck hold the bag on my last phone and lose the value on it. My hope is its shortly after launch, but my fear is it could be a month or two after launch. No more Verizon, so AT&T better step up.
If they have a sku for the 32GB GS4, then its clearly planned, just a timing issue.
we are all just speculating of course but if they focused all manufaturing on one model (qualcomm 16gb) then they are more likely to meet demand rather then if they fragmented at launch and possibly missed shipping on multiple models. just a WAG tho...
Watch out on ebay.. There suckering people with 32GB S4 = 16GB(internal) + 16GB(microSD)
I spoke to sammy today and they have no info on 32gb models. As i said i just sucked it up and got the 16gb today. I have a 64gb sd card anyways.

My S2 Skyrocket has 16 GB internal memory and I have never come close to filling it. However, it all depends on how people use their phones. I don't use mine for music or movies (at this time) so my biggest storage issues are phone related (nandroids, Apps, pictures and videos, etc...) and I usually use the external SD for the pics and vids. But here is why I want the 32 GB model:
1. If I ever find myself in a situation that I need or want to take a lot of videos and pictures but don't have an extra SD card with me or a way to transfer them to another media. It would suck to run out of storage when it is really needed.
2. 32 GB might not be needed (by me) right now, but with larger and better apps, games, and similar being developed, it can't hurt. In the future it will be welcome.
3. The 32 GB model will look better than the 16 GB model when / if I ever want to sell it.
4. External SD cards crap out all of the time. Having enough onboard storage to temporarily back up important info, pics, and vids will be nice.
Of course, like I said, everybody's experience differs and some people definitely need more than 16 GB to start with.
If the 32GB isn't offered, I guess there won't be a choice.
I'm just fine with my 80GB model.
A lot of chatter, but really.... if you want it soon get the 16gb version. if 32gb is important to you, then wait. No point whining about the fact 32gb isn't available yet. 16gb will be the most popular by far, it makes sense they started there.

Thanks for your opinion but the thread is about the 32 GB version so there is no point in you calling OP related issues "whining". As stated, I (and many others) would like the 32 GB version so any information about it is certainly welcome.
I know, some people just never read the fine print. I am just sitting idle until AT&T says something.
Wheres the 64GB love? Can I get a 9500 (ex5410) + 64GB + LTE is that too much to ask?
is there any way of loading apps on the sd card? 16gb seems awful low
I'm waiting as well
"Life Companion" at 16GB ..
Last i read was the 32gb will be available when the s4 is officially avail April 30th. But I would not hold my breath as it was not from a credible source. I too am waiting for the 32gb as 16gb just won't cut it.

Difference in performance between 16 & 32GB?

So I pre-ordered a 32GB white version from Best Buy. They didn't have it on the 10th so I went ahead and bought a black one to tide me over. But I'm getting impatient for my white one.
Still not in at Best Buy. I'm told that they won't be in next week either.
But they have a white 16GB. I'm seriously considering buying it along with a 64 GB micro SD card and just call it a day.
My question is, is there any performance difference between the 2 storage sizes? Or does it just affect strict storage space.
Thanks,
Han Solo

There isn't any performance differences between the two. Unlike the nand that is used in SSDs, the storage used doesn't necessarily degrade when getting filling it up.
Just storage space. I'd hang for the 32 if you can. Don't do something rash just to have it today when in a few months you'll probably wish for more space.

Han... I agree with Wing on this one... I have a 32 gig note and I'm utilizing 10 gigs of it as of today. By the way, none of which are pictures or video, or for that matter too many games. I have a 64 gig sd card that I put my movies and pictures on.
So again, I'm utilizing 10 gigs out of the 32 gig storage that I have, that's just me, but if I were you I would wait for the 32 gig version
...Sent from my Tablet...Please excuse any typo's...
I would just have them ship it to the store and have them call you when it gets there. That way you don't have to pay for shipping, and can take advantage of the Best Buy return policies. There wouldn't be a performance issue based on the storage size. You've waited this long for the tablet to come out, what is a couple more days to wait for shipping? Play some GTA or watch some football till then. Life doesn't seize to exist because of a tablet.

Why? The 16 will be a lot cheaper and you can just throw a 64GB card in it for less than the price difference. Unless you anticipate NEEDING 96GB of storage instead of 80 somehow, lower built-in storage + external card is always the best option.

I disagree. It's $50 difference between 16 and 32 GB. You can break it down like this; If you keep and use the tablet for 24 months, it's an extra $2 a month!
I don't like moving apps to external memory, since not all apps support this feature. When I had my 16GB S4, I was constantly removing apps to make way for new apps. I hated that..
Also, the note does not have 16GB available to the user; it's more like 10GB.

So store all your files and whatnot on the external. You'd have to have hundreds and hundreds of apps to use up the full internal just on those.
Fifty bucks. You can get a 64gb micro SD card shipped for that. Keep all your media on there, apps on the internal, and for the same price you have 2.5x the storage.
The only way I ever filled up my s3 was downloading all my rdio music onto it. How could you possibly be filling up the device from apps? I've never in my Android life had so many apps I needed to move them to the card.

Not at all. I'm saying that MOST people have no need for 96GB of storage and could save money by getting the 16 and a card of whatever size they'd like. It bugs me when people are stubbornly insisting that they NEED to spend more money on something when they don't.
Okay, so you install Vice City and five more copies of it, and that still leaves you with about a gig and a half to do whatever with. Put all your music/movies/downloads/documents/whatever on the external and bingo bango you saved money AND had more space.
What SHOULD happen in Android is that they embrace external storage and make it easier to put stuff on the external card. What happens INSTEAD is we end up reinforcing the "tiered storage size" model like Apple and next thing you know more tablets and phones have NO external storage, and it costs $100 extra just to go up 16GB in size.
I'm not arguing this just because it's the internet and I like being contrary, it's because I really do have a reason to be promoting people getting the smaller model plus microSD.

dude, you're posting on XDA, not android4newbs. Most of us are power users who want and use more space.
If 16GB works for you, then cool. If someone wants to spend $50 for another 16GB, I don't see how that would bug you.
I'm the biggest fan of removable storage - That's why I choose Samsung, but preaching to all that MOST don't need more than 16GB because YOU don't use more than 16GB is just silly.
Also $50 is relative. To me $550 vs. $600 is not that big of a deal.

You're 100% right. I was speaking more toward someone who thinks 16GB isn't enough and wants 32. If you want 32, save a couple bucks and get the card. If you need ALL the space, then yeah get the 32 and a 64 card, but unless you need 96GB why spend the extra money?
$50 is definitely relative. I mean I have the Note instead of the Nexus because even though I'm not a massive stylus user I like having the option and the extra cost wasn't enough for me to mind, but I stuck with the 16 because I -reaaaaaally- feel like for 95% of users it's a smarter buy to get less included storage and add a card.
There's an added benefit, too. Let's say I buy a 16GB model and a 64GB card. Then in a year a new model comes out. I can once AGAIN get the 16GB model and stick my card in there. So not only did I save $50+ on the current one, but I saved it on the next one. It's savings that add up, and afford me the opportunity to get new devices! :laugh:
But again, it's about getting what YOU need. I'm sure some of you guys really DO need massive storage, in which case I really look forward for the day when these bad boys can take 128's.

Hmm. I still don't understand why you would think someone who buys the 32GB Note wouldn't put a MicroSD card in it as well?
Also your cost savings analogy doesn't make any sense--but i'm sure you were just joking.
Let's set aside microSD cards aside for a bit.. Anyway you split it; it's $50 bucks difference between the 16GB/32GB model. for someone like me, it's money well spent.

I had a lot more typed, but then I thought back on it and you do make a damn good point. Once you're over $500 it starts to turn kinda irrelevant, LOL. No matter how you slice it, I have NEVER been happier with a tech purchase. I actually was unsure I wanted a tablet AT ALL before I got the 2012 version of the Note 10.1, and that was awesome enough, but the new one? Sublime. 16 or 32, whatever. Buy it, enjoy. Is it perfect? Naw. Better than any other tablet I've played with? By a long shot. I used this thing side by side with the Nexus 10 and don't wish I'd gone the other way in the slightest.

You made the right choice, yeah. Is it just me or does the Nexus 10 feel like a Fisher Price toy by comparison? The 2014 feels like an executive briefcase to me, the Nexus 10 is a high school backpack. I hate the rubber back on it and the rounded corners. Seriously I opened the box of the 2014 up and was just like "oooohhh god I want to hold it even when it's not on."
I sold my Nexus 10 two weeks ago to get this and I'm so glad i did. This is definitely THE tablet to get now and it's a night and day difference compared to the Nexus 10.

Too many apps just don't take advantage of SD card abilities. SNote and Evernote are perfect examples. My Lecture Notes folder on my SD card is already at 1GB. After taking the system into account the 16 you should have 10GB available before use. That's really not that much. The 32GB model only gives you 26GB to start with. And yes I also have a 64GB card.

I'm getting one tomorrow and was also debating the 16 vs 32 question. But then I was checking out local stock in my area online and most stores are only selling the 32GB version. Problem solved, lol.
I should just listen to my own advice - I always tell people it's better to have more storage than you need, rather than "just enough". And in this case, a $50 difference isn't really that much.

Too many apps just don't take advantage of SD card abilities. SNote and Evernote are perfect examples. My Lecture Notes folder on my SD card is already at 1GB. After taking the system into account the 16 you should have 10GB available before use. That's really not that much. The 32GB model only gives you 26GB to start with. And yes I also have a 64GB card.

32GB or 64GB?

The color wars are fun to read, but what about size?
even if I did have the 64GB model, it still wouldn't house a quarter of my music library. also, the 32GB was easily available- I just walked into a T-Mobile store on the 19th, asked for the phone, and left 10 minutes later with my Midnight Blue in hand.
I was one of the few lucky ones who managed to get a 64GB from T-Mo on launch day. With that said; I opted for the 64GB because I knew I would be using this thing as a tablet. I've loaded some 1080p movies (I can't find 2K movies...) to show off this display and plenty of music to take advantage of the stereo(!) speakers.
64gb because there is no SD slot so more storage wont hurt.

I went with the 32GB for a few reasons. My LG G2 was 32GB, and the only reason I came even remotely close to filling it up, was because I had two full nandroid backups and a titanium backup on the phone with the game "Yesterday" included which is about a 1GB game. I have a fairly simple setup, outside of the stock apps I keep maybe 20 other apps/games on my phone. I keep 4GB of music on my phone just in case I get to an area without service and I want music.
I also figured the 32GB version would be easier to obtain.
How backordered is the 64 GB model from T-Mobile?

Ah thanks. I didn't go back far enough.
$50 extra for double the storage? It's a no brainer really, 64GB all the way!
64 duh
Its driving me crazy not knowing if ATT will ever get get the 64gb version.
I could have waited and gone with the 64, but when I sat down and thought it over, the 32 would be just fine. I came from a G3 and the only thing that took up space was a set of titanium backups and two nandroids; a stock based (CloudyG3) ROM and various flavors of the CM 12 test release. My music is up in the cloud, I back up my pictures to google and I don't really hold on to video files. All things considered, the only concrete reason that I had for a 64 was 'because moar'
So functionally speaking, that extra 32G of storage would pretty much just be a reason for me to just keep crap around that I would have otherwise deleted.
64gb for me but 32 wouldn't hurt since i have an 64 gb sandisk usb dual drive otg.
I would of gone with the 64Gb one if the Stores had it but they didn't so I got an 32Gb Blue one on Saturday. I had to pay $67 for the taxes and JUMP! from my S4 to my first Nexus device for the Stock Android and I love it! the front speakers are AMAZING!! Now I pay $24 monthly for this phone which is totally worth it in my eyes.

The 64gb is only 7.6% more than the 32gb. Why not? Sure, I'm completely unlucky and haven't even been able to order one yet but hey I'm patient. My rooted rooted S3 is running great so I'm fine with being patient and waiting to order a 64gb from Google/Moto.
To me, this phone is an investment and I plan on it providing me with years of great service like my S3 has. I know down the road I'll regret if I get a 32gb just because I was in a rush and couldn't wait a few more weeks. Also, if I ever want to sell the phone, I'm sure the 64gb will give me a decent little price premium.
Been using a 32gb Note 3 with a 32gb card for a year now and I think I could probably still get away with 32gb alone but I will get a 64gb model just because I'll have it for 18 months or so...
I'm not sure what I'm going to do.
Really boils down to how quickly I want a phone. I have no music and I plan to JUMP to the Nexus 2015 in a year's time anyway.

[Poll] 64/6GB or 128/8GB

Let's see which model people have decided to buy. Drop a vote.
I personally think the price difference is fair and tempting to go for the higher end model.
Wanted the 64/6GB model but I had to wait to long for it in Italy, so I spend the few more bucks for the bigger one. Since I got the student -10% it was okay.
If there was expandable storage I would have got the 6/64GB. Considering you lose 15-20% of that space out of the box, getting the 128GB was a no brainer....its not like the 6GB isnt enough ram
I selected the 8/128 as the other one was out of stock and delivery delayed by a good week... The price different is not much anyway...
Couldn't fill up my 16GB devices back then, so I went for the more-than-enough 64GB model
I got the 64GB model, but I kinda wish I paid a bit more for the 128 ?
My old phone was only 32gb so any option would work for me, but I plan on keeping this phone for a while so I went with the 128gb. Compared to other phones this upgrade was cheap.
I can barely fill up my current 16 gb lg g2 and I've been using it for the past 2 years
I think 64 gb is more than enough for me
I was under half full on my 64GB OnePlus 2, so I went with 64GB again. I figure if I ever get that full I should be backing things up anyway.
Got the 128, should be here mid next week! I have 30GB of music alone so 128 is definitely the choice for me lol
I wanted the 64gb but it had a much longer waiting time so I settled for the 128gb. I think that 6gb RAM is gonna be overkill even in 2-4 years and storage is meaningless to me because I stream everything from my home server... Oh well.
who the hell is going to buy 64gb when you can get 128gb, I cannot understand that !!
I hate any kind of sync and I want to keep everything offline and do not overpay for roaming !!

Yeah the 60.00 was worth getting the extra storage alone, the extra 2gb was icing, most companies charge 100.00 for double storage

And who is going to buy a 128 GB model when there's a 64 GB model?? I can't understand that.
I hate any kind of copy and past crap to all of my devices and love my monthly great big data plan!
All I want to say... To each his own.
I came from a 128 GB OP5 and I'm very happy with the 64GB model. Battery life is even better with less hardware to provide of juice.

:good::good::good: AMEN! :good::good::good:
Who the hell really wants to have to rely on copy and pasting and keeping everything local these days? Who wants to have to copy from phone to phone these days to keep everything synced? I don't just use one device, i use multiple. The hassle to have to constantly manually copy to keep everything the same on all devices is a mentality from a decade ago. Get up with the times already. Automate that by using the cloud! Whether it be your own cloud or purchasing cloud storage.
My 128 should arrive tomorrow. Without expandable storage, I want the largest I can get.

I cannot understand why you ever would need that much storage? Do you really need that 4k porn with you all the time?
I went with the 8GB/128GB one not because I needed it but because I wanted it. It's all about choice without breaking the bank [emoji5]

Actually I wanted more storage, but as the shipment of the 128/8gb would take a few days more I've bought the 64gb version.
For $50 more you get specs comparable to a low-end gaming machine.
