Its good and bad. Its good because it frees up alot of memory but its bad because it slows your phone down because the dalvik cache just keeps building up and up and you need a high class sdcard or it will slow your phone down more also. And when you wipe dalvik cache in recovery it will wipe dalvik cache on internal,sdext, ect

Sorry I don't know other than it gives you more internal memory. Maybe ask over on the androidforum.

I haven't noticed any slowdown, and I've been using that for a long time

Actually, that could be why the few times I ran 3.5 ROMS, the lag was almost unbearable at times

Go to a deodexed sense rom and move dalvik cache to sd then don't reboot your phone at ALL just setup your usual stuff and you'll notice the tremendous lag after a couple of hours

Do it only if you have a class 4 card. I currently moved it to sd on swag rom x and everything is running well.

You need like a class 6 or something, I have a class 4 32GB but it gets slow so I put it on the internal memory and I wipe it occassionally.

im gonna have to throw my 2 cents in as DONT move it unless you seem to be running out of internal space... cant say i notice much lag with aosp but i have noticed with sense 3.5 roms... and as a side not its with a 32gb class 10 pny card sooo /twocents

During the time I was using Synergy I initially ran Dalvik from the SD card and had persistent lag. Moving it back to internal solved this problem. You can get an app called Apps2SDGUI which is a easy graphical interface that allows you to very easily control Dark Tremors Apps to SD (obviously you are partitioned right?) so you can experiment. I have a lot of apps but still maintain between 180 - 160 mb of free internal space which for me is the sweet spot running Dalvik from internal.

No unfortunately it does not. Storage size is 16gb or 32gb. But with Cloud storage available today, its very managable... for me

No it does not but you can get it in 32GB at OPPO Style which I think solves that.

Im with corey on the Cloud storage. Instead of keeping photos and videos on your device just back them up to one of the many cloud services, google drive, dropbox, or my favorite box (got 50gb's free from them <3). Then just delete the photos/videos from your device and you will have all the room you want for movies. We also are waiting on OTG enabled in the kernel but it may be sometime for we see that. OTG would pretty much take care of all your memory issues.

only if you have unlimited data (or high limit)
according to oppo, OTG isn't supported hardware-wise at all (so any kernel fixes won't work)

With the Oppo Find 5 32 GB version, I think the cloud will get you through the same as having and SD card, that is my plan anyways there are so many cloud services that are giving out free storage. This is pretty much the best device you can buy for the price that has 32GB of storage built in. With 32 GB built in you can play all your games and apps right from the device. I had the International One X and never filed 32GB up with all my games or apps. That was one of the main attractions for me when purchasing the Oppo Find 5, because on other 16GB devices you cant play games or apps from an SD card, so really a cloud is just as good as an SD card basically, they will both do the same thing.
For some reason Google screwed their system up by not allowing programs such as apps2sd and others that do the same on Gingerbread, at least I still think Gingerbread can do this? I don't see why they did this, other than the fact that they are most likely trying push their cloud service but even with Google Cloud you cant play games or apps. You would think they would want to sell more apps and games from the play store but what happens when you only got 16GB, you can only buy so much to have on your device at once. I' thinking next year or the following year 64GB and 128GB are going to be standard with new devices having it built in 64GB and 128GB, yeah that would be really nice 128GB onboard, no SD card crap to mess with.

Does it have a removable battery?

I don't mind the design as long as we start getting 32gb base and phones that last >12 hrs with 3 hours screen on time.

[Q] 16GB Owners, What are you doing with the low space storage problem?

I did not paid attention when people started to complain about the low memory matter and ended up buying a 16GB i9500, now that I know what's the problem is there an alternative for this? what do you recommend ?

Get a micro sd card and u r good to go

Like what Saad2687 said. My advise dont get scandisk though. I have samsung 32 gig class 10 and its amazing.

Yes I got a 32GB Samsung, but the thing is with the installations and all the bloat, is there something I can do? With my S3 I used aroma debloater it was awesome it left my phone free of non useful stuff.

Brother i am infact using sandisk 32gb class 10 micro sd from past 20 days and its great no problems at all.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app

Use onboard storage only for apps and move media (photos, songs, videos) and documents onto SD card. But dont cheap out to buy any no name or cheap class 4 card. Class 10 is a must.

Root ya phone and grab titanium backup. You can uninstall about 900mb of crap such as eye scrolling etc...

As the others said, get a SD card. Also VERY helpful is Folder Mount as it lets you remap the /sdcard/Android folder from the internal memory to the external SD card which gets around the problem that most apps want to store everything inside those folders or directly in /sdcard.

Thanks I'll give it a try. that's what I was looking for.

Got myself a 64gb Samsung pro microsd and moved all my images/videos/music.
I only use my internal storage for apps.

By the way, be sure to read the guide on what is safe to uninstall before you go ahead.

32 GB external SD Card

Move anything that isn't apps (music, movies, any extra files) onto the external SD card. Get at least a 32gb and you should be golden.

Save to the SD instead internal memory

get another 16/32 Gig card, that should suffice.
i am suing sandisk 16 gig for the past 1 year and no issues till now, and most of the times its a life saver as i keep everything in my sd card (music pic etc)...

My setup which 16gb users might like.
My phone is 16gb
My sdcard is 32gb
But thays not enough space so i added an extra 64gb via usb
The method to mount usb is OTG in a modified case.
(*please note just use the usb when you need it as it obviously drains battery faster)
Here is a image of modified case

This didn't work for me.
/sdcard is a link to /storage/emulated/0
that's internal mounted fuse
/storage/extSdCard is real sdcard mounted normally.
It's 4.2s storage problem
in previous versions it was as.simple.as editing fstab.

I don't really put a lot of stuff on my phone as I have a separate mp3 player on me at all times, so the space taken up by bloat wasn't really a problem. I already had a 32GB card on me though so I slapped that in.

game files on physical sd card??

well I'm loving my Tab 2 7"
But hating the fact I have to have the game data on the interanl memory when I have a nice 32gig card in the tab..
Am on a rooted Stock 4.2.2 rom and wondering is it possible to move the data to the SDcard thus releasing space on the internal memory..
thanks in advance for advice..
regards
Lohtse
tried foldermount pro and is useless as wants to download game data
arrr ok foldermount pro does work.... didn't release you had to click on pins and if they turned green it had worked( you must click the pins to work)
