How do some of you guys get around with teh 8GB version? I thought 8GB was enough for awhile, but now that i decides to put some games on i ran out of space. In fact i ran out of space as i was about to install teh game from the play store, but it stoped before it can get finished now the game isn't even there it still took up the space that it downloaded. any idea how i can get the space back
I really don't game much, I usually only have one or two installed at a time, I lose interest too quick. 8gb has been more than enough for me. I think you know the answer to your question. Move stuff off your phone that you don't need or uninstall games you don't play.
Not sure if this is gonna help you get that extra space back, but some Apps/Games download files which are stored in your SdCard/storage space.
try looking through /sdcard/Android/Data and see if you see it there and just delete the folder. If not...well i tried.
Don't have an answer for you other than moving stuff off. However to answer your question I get by perfectly fine with my 8gb. In fact I have 2.5 GB still free on mine and I will never fill it. I don't game on my phone (don't have time too) I just use it as a phone and G+ device.
I do hope you find a solution though. You could buy a 16gb then sell the 8 but I am sure you would have done that if you could

I was like you when i first bought it too, but my offline gps takes about 1 gb for my states. Then 2 custom ROM files takes about another gb and that leaves me with about 2 gb left. 1 HD game takes about another GB. The whole phone requires about 1 GB(remaining) to function normally (for camera/video features). It would also resttrict all syncing when u run under 500MB. It's rather frustrating Google didn't offer the it as a 16GB as a minimum.
I personally think the microSD option is a great idea. I don't know why so many companies abandoned it.
You're welcome haha. I went through the samething before and learned myself that some files are stored on the phone even if you uninstall the app. Hope you don't mind clicking the thank button

Cost basically. Its cheaper to manufacture without it. To keep a lower price point in the N4 (and well, the other Nexus devices), the added features of other phones (such as microSD support) are removed. Fortunately, devices are starting to ship with more internal storage (like the HTC One and S4), so I suspect the next Nexus phone will see somewhat more. Of course, if the rumors are true, there may very well be a new version of the N4 announced at I/O. We'll see.
For me it is enough. +20 songs, gta III and vice city, almost 50 apps and their backups. But hey, I'll love the 16 gb even when I'm happy with 8.
Just don't keep all the zips from nightlies of the roms

Yeah, the cloud is nice, but what about those who pay outrageous prices for their data? or those located in an area with terrible data speeds? Streaming isn't really an option because of the cost and/or buffering for those two examples. Personally, 16GB isn't enough for me at all. I have 35GB of music on my computer and while it's also uploaded to Google Music, I prefer not to stream to keep my costs down. I managed to cut my synced music down to 7GB of my most favourite tunes, so that still barely leaves me with 5GB for apps (I have about 100), pictures, games, and other misc. storage... It's pretty tight to manage, so 32GB or even 64GB would be a preferable option for me. I love everything else about the N4, so I try to live with just 16GB, but it's really quite low by today's standards. Google should have known this (and I know they do, but they just want to push their cloud services... this is old news by now)
I have the 16GB, two nandroids (one stock, one backup), 1GB of music, some pictures and a few casual games.
Left with 6GB. can't imagine life with the 8GB.
I been using drop box, it works for me.

I don't plan on storing a lot of stuff on my phone, have my Nexus 10 for that But I ordered a 8GB N4 just now.
I know when I had my 8GB N7 (now currently discontinued), I found it a pain to hold everything I wanted. Hopefully, I won't find the need to store so much on the N4.
The games I play, eg not FPS, don't take up much room so as of right now I have 4.58gb free.

Tablets are different IME, I store a bunch of comic books, books and video on my ipad so the 16gb got eaten up quickly. I don't do any of that on my n4, podcasts are on there and pics...that's about it.
I have the 8gb and loads of 1gb+ games on it, what's my secret? Delete the core file of the game when not playing and upon reopening the app it asks you to redownload it and ta-da all your data is still there!
BTW the 50gb box is use full to save carbon (renamed to helium) backups if you use 7 archiver to shrink it into 200mb zips

If you just need space for media consider getting a wireless drive as an alternative to cloud storage.
I have the pqi air drive with a 32gb SD card on board and it works very well.

Hell, before even installing any apps or music, you would only be able to put about 16 movies on it. This is just ignorant to me.

Do people not read??
If you actually took a blind bit of notice instead of just posting rubbish. The whole point of the tablet is to use cloud storage.
For me it's different. I always looked at 32gb and 64gb devices (phones or tablets) as a waste of cash. It's so easy to just delete/replace music or movies. I guess some people have so much music and videos to store in their devices. Why not just put 4-5 movies, 4-5 gb of music, a few games and apps.
I wouldn't like to pay 100$ more just to get an extra 16gb, when I can buy a 2tb external hard drive for the same price or a 500gb portable HDD.
You need more than 16 movies on the device at one time to enjoy it?
I understand cloud storage is supposed to be the greatest thing since Japan... but if your internet connection is not rock solid you get buffer bloat and an awful experience, I would prefer to have my music local in flac.
Incidentally I'm still not sure what a tablet is supposed to do... I mean why not just use a laptop, I love android but windows is so much more capable and justifies a case.
Can't really make use of cloud storage when sitting on long car trips, and tethering 3G to watch a 3-4GB movie is far from ideal. Cloud storage is in its infancy with the bandwidth restrictions we have, not quite ready yet.

Actually don't make your decision based on the SD storage (again its not an issue for some). Have a look at the defects threads, quality of the product and manufacturing defects before you make the call. All these issues are reported from 2-3 weeks of usage.
Good luck.

If you have to ask, you wouldn't understand. Seriously. I used to make those same arguments. One doesn't replace the other. I carry an i7 notebook with 16 GB of RAM just about everywhere I go, at least have it in the truck, and I also take my tablet. If you ever get in the habit of using one or carrying one, it will make sense but it's hard to explain it to someone that hasn't gotten used to one. My other tablet is a 32 GB Transformer Prime, and I've never needed to use 16 GB. I use 25 or so GB but it's only because a lot of nandroid backups on there are old and I haven't gotten around to cleaning house that week on my internal storage. I go through about once a week or so and clear out about 10 GB or so of old nandroid backups.

Movie wise, if you officially buy them they will be in cloud storage requiring network connection and you also have the option to download them. If you load the mp4s onto your device it takes up space
Or do what I did and use a NAS server (I use a raspberry pi - for low electricity cost what with it being on all day/night - with samba client and 1TB external hard disk) at home and copy films and content you want for the day/week/month off of that. Can stream from it up to about 720p with no problems any higher requires a bit of buffering if I am in the house or even at another wifi spot (a bit more buffering required depending on connection).
As for portable storage I have installed about 21 games already including some like shadowgun, batman, NOVA 3 and Modern Combat 3 that take up a load of space and I still have 5GB left free on the Nexus. If you want more room then I hear Apple make a nice 32GB wi-fi only model for just £479...oh and that's not expandable either. Even if you go for the 16GB wifi only the money you save by buying the nexus 7 is enough to rent more than a film a week for the next year.
My plan is too use my USB OTG cable (that i ordered from amazon) for use of movies and the 16 Gb for apps

They want to push their cloud services and media through google play. How many movies do you need on there at once?
You could make the same argument about any tablet that doesnt have infinite storage.
"What's the point of a tablet that can't store every movie ever made in the contiguous 48 states!!?! Argh!"
If you think its a stupid product, don't buy it...but you don't have to come over here harshing on our buzz.

This. While you may not need it today, there may be a situation when you will. I fly a lot and being able to store lots of music and movies internally was worth the extra $50 for a 32gb model. I also use my N7 to fly my AR Drone and I like being able to record its video direct to the tablet.

To be honest, for a tablet I would almost always recommend a 32gb or bigger version. First thing is that the 16gb nexus 7 is 199.99. The 32gb is 249.99. But, I have seen deals very often online selling the 32gb for 229.99. So, for 29.99 more, you can double your storage.
My biggest thing is, why not future proof yourself a little. 16gb is fine if you are going to use your tablet for internet browsing and streaming music. But if you want to download lots of new games (legit games like ea) then they will take up large chunks of storage. Also, if you plan to put music and movies, they will also eat up that storage. Especially movies. At least with a 32gb, you don't have to worry about swapping files in and out of the storage. Just my 2 cents.
I bought my 32gb nexus 7 for $229.99 no tax and free shipping from a power seller on ebay. Great shopping experience!
I have 32 gb version . I did upgrade from 16..And can tell you its awesome.. I have the multi rom recovery with multi booting .. Stock 4.2.1 Ubuntu . Cm 10 and sometimes a 4th rom if im bored..
Still have lots of space and do not have to worry about checking or moving things around to make room
So get the 32 if you can afford it .. but 16 can work..
good luck
I agree with the 32gb. 16 would probably suffice right now but this is a nexus device so it will have a long life. Granted I had a few bigger games on my 16gb but I was having to manage those regularly. I didn't even have media stored on the unit, just a few games.
In a year, apps and games are just going to be bigger. Plus the fact you are even on here should tell you to get the bigger version.

If you are planning on using this for a long time, get 32GB. I gave my 16GB to my sister and got a 32GB, I will always go fir the highest I can get.
Plus this thing is good for gaming as well so grab that 32GB.
I say go for the 32gb. I myself have the 16gb, but I don't play games on mine, nor store movies, (maybe books in the future, but cloud storage works for me). Plus I have StickMount and two 8gb flash drives.
Thank u all of u guys....i decied to get 32 gb....thanks a lot..

I think you made the best choice its not to much more and some of the apps are quite big, its always good to have space just incase. I thougth 16 would be enough for me but man I was wrong. But than again when I had mine I only had the option of 16gb
I have the 16 and it's basically fine unless you put movies or games with giant data files on it. If you can swing it, 32gb is even better. But another option is to get 16 and wait for next year's Nexus tablet rollouts. I thought about upgrading to 32gb but decided at this point it is better to wait and see what Google has for us in May.

16 GB Is for my opinion too much little to be used as a true tablet.
It's true that you can expand the storage memory via stickmount, but it isn't so confortable tu be used with games or music or other stuff that you need to be in the tablet.
32 gb is for me the best choice
Get the 32GB.

This.. I have the 32gb, and while the wife and I may never have to use it all, it is nice knowing its there.
That said, given that you can use USB storage without rooting (read only of course), you can probably get away with 16gb and a $1 otg cable for your favorite thumb drive (this will work great for movies or music on a long trip, where you want lots of stuff you won't need saved on the device itself.)
My thing is that my phone has tons of storage and I won't need my Nexus to have everything on it. It really matters on what you plan to put on it, really. My phone holds my music and has great audio capabilities... I don't mind only having a few videos on my tablet and having the rest on my flash drive or phone. It really is up to personal preference.

no reason to keep backups on your phone at all. store them on your pc or backup drive. should something happen you can always push it to your phone, either manually via abd (push file /sdcard/) or nexus toolkit comfortably.

about 2gb free on the 8Gb version... I'll admit its a bit annoying at times, but overall not really an issue. The Google music, drive and box account for cloud storage basically take care of everything.
The saving grace is google music.. (did the hack to get it working in canada etc..) without that 8Gb would just not be enough at all.

My last phone was a gs3 and I had a 32gb sd card in it. It being hooked up to sprint I personally couldn't rely I cloud services like I do now my service was that bad, and mind you I live in NY. having switched to A&tt is a lot better . I guess it just a little weird to look at my phone and only see 5gbs free.

It seems the 16gb S4 is still the only option at the moment in the UK, I originally cancelled my order when I found out about the internal memory issue and the fact you can't save apps to the sd card. If you root some of my banking apps won't work, so that is not an option, not that apps work all the time properly on the sd card anyway. Also if you rent films from Googlr these cache in internal memory.
So for all you 16gb owners what is the internal memory space left , what have you installed and how much of an inconvenience is it, if at all. Please be honest, I just want to see what you can get on each of your S4's. Are any of you struggling already or believe you might.
Your help here will make me decide whether I just bite the bullet and compromise with the 16gb. Thanks in advance.
I've been a bit more careful than usual, not installed any of the big storage hog games, disabled Document Sync (which inexplicably tries to fill the internal storage with dropbox content), moved TomTom data to the SD card, and now have about 100 applications installed and 6Gb of space left. Not really a problem for me as yet, I'm using DiskUsage to monitor the situation. I'm also dithering about the One, but at the moment I'd rather have the 9Gb+64Gb SD card than the One's 25Gb. Might change if I have problems later and the One gets a 64Gb variant.
Thanks for feedback. One of my friends has only 2.5gb free now and hasn't installed any of his fav games. No room if he tried.
Anybody else got feedback.
it's kind of dumb that it has this amazing quad core processor and one of the best phone gpu's around and yet, you cant even install all the best games on it... lol
I think a potential cure will be for android itself to have a proper api to utilize external SD for heavy resources like those in the obb folder.
Unfortunately I don't think google will support this since they have been on a no SD card agenda for quite a while now.

Rooting isn't the cure. I know for a fact that some of the banking apps won't work with a rooted device. Also, internal memory functions better so don't mind all apps being there but really need a bigger memory to start off with.
how to disable document sync?
DocumentSync is solved see : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261385

I think a potential cure will be for android itself to have a proper api to utilize external SD for heavy resources like those in the obb folder.
Unfortunately I don't think google will support this since they have been on a no SD card agenda for quite a while now.

We might see something because of that Google edition s4...

I am managing quite well, this is with around a 100 different apps, varying in size. With Spotify playlist download of a 100 songs. I will be happy when Samsung will fix this issue.

For me the 9Gb of storage is enough i don't generally game on my phone, and only install what i use, music, vids & pictures all go onto my SD card.
But i think the S4 should have launched at 32Gb this time around, back in the day the S1 launched with 8Gb, when the S2 came it was bumped upto 16Gb at launch
I think the easiest option really would be for Samsung to come up with a way to allow you to save apps to SD card, even though Jellybean doesn't have this feature.
I do think though when the S5 arrives next year 32Gb will be standard, with options of 64Gb & 128Gb to.
I don't have any problems... Lots of apps and a few games installed... Batman, GTA, mini motor... I don't have much time to play but nice with the opportunity

Very well as I installed foldermount and folder downloader so Dropbox and games are stored in the external so got plenty of space left for apps. Also INT2EXT will be fixed soon for the s4

Agree! FolderMount is great for this phone.

Doesn't bother me at all as I don't game on my phone. If you're a gamer then it might sting a little but apart from that music is via google play and photos in the 32 gig SD card
I store my ROM and app backups on my external SD (32 GB G-Skill class 6).
Hi.
I'm trying to decide between the G2 and the HTC One. The G2 is better spec wise but I can only afford the 16gb version.
What is the storage space available on the 16gb version? I know that it's around 24gb for the 32gb version but is it also 8gb less on the 16gb version?
thanks

Your right. It does have about 10gb left. However, I thought I would miss my SD Card (Used mainly for music) however I uploaded my music to Google Music (free to do so). Furthermore, instead of leaving nandroid backups on the phone, I store them on a spare usb pen & use my OTG cable and using CWM I can restore from that.
Upto yet, hardly had any need to use any of the 10GB.
Win Win.....:laugh:

I went to 3 with my Nexus 4 and when I broke that I bought the G2 off 3 instore. Play Music works brilliantly on it. In settings for the app tell it to cache music, so it is 'ahead' of itself I guess incase the reception drops. I've only had the app ever stop playing 1 time in 9 months due to reception.
Plus, 3 will move you up to 4g for free, with unlimited data still (if you are on that tarriff)!
But yeah, back to topic, I was a bit annoyed I only had 10gb to play with, but Play Music takes care of it all really. Over 30gb of music for me to listen to on a 16gb device ha ha. Just ordered a Meenova device as well to use the OTG functionality.

that meenova device is great. You need to have the device rooted in order to access the file manager right?

Pretty sure the phone comes with a file manager as standard? Mine did. Then I downloaded ES File Explorer as I prefer that. I then rooted the phone anyway to remove bloat.

oh cool.
pretty much decided to buy the G2 after these "use the cloud" idea. Any arguments against?
Any advice on good cover besides the one with the window?
sorry for the offtopic
