I know it says 8gb, but can someone tell me exactally how much internal sd card space there is and how much space for apps /data. Thanks this is important so please answer if ur sure
It's 8Gb for apps/system/rom and comes with a 8Gb sdcard for music/photos/videos/your stuff, so -----> 8Gb + 8Gb. There's no need for app2sd in this phone.

Ite thanks mate but i dont mean to be annoying but can yiu say exactaly how much available space there is for apps e.g 1.1gigs & 6.5gigs internal sd, sorry :/
approximately 6,3 Gb free
all this space is for apps and system and cannot be used for the stuff
(indeed there is a trick for root users that want to use internal storage for user data, here)
Ah okay, im kinda put off by this phone the more i find out. lol would you recomend getting it? Also do you think its better than this phone... http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_u8800_ideos_x5-3596.php
Thanks man youre a great help!
Big NOTE: If you ever want to run a Custom Firmware (Like not using Motorolas Default Android) .. or want to update by urself (For example Run Android 2.3 before Motorola updates it (they are really slow)) then you should not get this fone.. this point annoys many people.. so just note that.. since i would never buy a Motorola phone again.

Only reason why I got this phone was because of the QWERTY keyboard. THe HTC Desire Z wasn't out yet and I wasn't too sure of the 'Z' hinge build quality. Also, not X10 Mini Pro cos that is just too damn small. But I am patient, unlike DeadSix17 which already wants to get rid of his phone.
My main things are texting,gaming & videos keyboard is great for texting whats gaming like? Heard theres multitouch issues & 3.7 i fine and has really good pixels
multitouch issues...maybe. But this is a fine device for your needs. Run a ps1 emulator and gaming will be like on a playstation. Texting is splendid and videos is very nice indeed. A really great phone with no support and a big lock on its door.
I've been well impressed with this phone, locked bootloader or not. Shame about the multitouch issue during gaming... hopefully it will get fixed in a later update. It doesn't make gaming impossible - i've managed to complete NOVA without any problems - just a bit frustrating at times.
Still, the best games to play are emulated stuff like SNES and PSX and these run like a charm, especially with a game gripper (google it!)
How bad is the multitouch then? I plan to play gameloft games and worry if they wont play well, also whats the neocore score like ive googled it but only comes up with mm1.
I have question about how to use internal storage? My sd card was full so I moved my music on internal storage because i had 6GB free there, but music apps can only see music files on sdcard. Anybody knows how to make usefull internal momory?

Hi,
It's a 4.2.2 "Feature"
It's for the greater good. New generation NAND smokes microSD performance, and you don't wanna bottleneck your device by multitasking from SD. On the other hand 16GB should be dropped entirely, we're talking very minimal cost difference for Samsung, so why not start at 32gigs or 64 and go all the way up to 256? This is HD era, nothing comes in small size.

Hi,
Also the "16GB" is actually only 9.15GB on my phone.
The system eats a fair portion of it.
Before 4.2.2 could you move to sd without rooting then? And will it really kill memory card If i rooted and use folder mount

Still taking any and all suggestions...

That's the reason I'm waiting for the 32GB version.
I did the same with the Galaxy S III though I can't understand why they delay the release of the 32GB that much.. I'm pretty sure a lot of people are waiting for that one, right?
And btw, you can put your music on the µSD card, it's just the installed apps that are a problem.
Thanks, yeah you are right. Not sure though if some apps will be smart enough to route downloaded music to my SD card??
While we're at it: My problem is basically the "cloudsync" and more so the "DocumentSync" folder, the latter is > 6 GB large! Anyone knows what that is?
I want to reduce this size, my phone is brand-new!

Cloudsync syncs your pics etc with Dropbox or its samsung account

Thanks, indeed. I deactivated all that cloud-syncing nonsense, which solved my problem for now. Now I have a few weeks or months until I have to think again what to do. :-/
Is "Swyped from another galaxy" that a joke on the Samsung Galaxy keyboard system? lol
You're probably looking at 24gb on the 32gb version so a bunch more memory.
Most people will in fact be fine with 9gb though, power users who download a lot of really inefficient apps that cache a lot of things and require a lot of storage should get the 32gb version. I personally will be fine with the 16gb version.
You may be right. I got 2.1 GB of apps for 151 apps, which averages out at 14 MB per app, while I had the feeling that most of my apps are less than 8 MB, oh well. -.-
I won't download any more apps though, but I am sure photographs and stuff will quickly snatch up the remaining 5 GB of space that I freed now...
Will try to find a setting to put my photos on the SD card by default. Any tips (or links to a thread / tutorial about that) are appreciated.

Yeah i am also waiting for the 32GB version because of the same reason.
my htc one s 16gb has 2gb dedicated to apps. for me plenty atm. that's independent of the 9.93 internal sdcard, don't know if s4 is same. however, as mentioned, 16gb phones are too small now days and i won't pay for the s4 till it gets 32gb on att and black--
also don't think i can post links to other forums per xda. but if you google "att 32gb s4", there is a link to an att forum specifically for the 32gb release and an active att moderator--just fyi

Really? cant u save on the sd card by defalut ????
First of all.. If u want to store ur camera photos on sd card use camera zoom fx.. It's a very good camera app and there u can choose where to store the photos
The second.. U have 8,8 gb on stock firmware if u install a custom rom in a few weeks it will be more free space because of some bloatware installed on the stock and files we dont need i think.. Let the dev's do there great job

For photos there's a setting in the camera app which let's you select which storage to use. If it's not there use a file explorer to copy your photos across to your sd card.

They're not enougfh for me! That problem is due to Samsung or Google? In other words, is there the possibility that with android 4.3 the problem will be solved?
The problem is with Google/Android Team, but they're not going to fix it.
They intentionally removed the App to SD feature because of the high failure rate of SD Cards and amount of complaints due to it. Rooting is your only choice to put apps on SD it seems

It is only removed on Samsung ROMS.
AOSP android or CM10.1 just moves the apps fine.
So the problem is within Samsung.
Aren't the obb(textures from heavy games are saved as obb for example) files stored on the external sd?

That's not the answer I got from Samsung - not that I 100% trust what they say, but I assumed they were in this scenario
We are sorry to hear that the space on your handset is nearly full already. We understand the frustration this has caused.
In regards to your email, please note that moving or installing apps to external storage is no longer available on any Android from version 4.0 and above, due to how the Android operating system reads storage on our devices. The Android OS now operates on a unified storage system from Ice Cream Sandwich onward, meaning it will read one data partition for storage, rather than two.
The reason why previous Android versions had the capability of moving apps to external storage was because the phones memory was split into two partitions, one for external storage and one for internal.
Now, with Android using a unified storage system, all applications will be stored completely on the internal memory of the phone. This allows for around 11GB of storage space on a 16GB device for apps. Google, the developer of Android, feels this is more than enough for users, as their operating system was designed for use on their own phones as well, which do not have any external storage at all.
Please also note that we do not advertise any of our devices as having the capability of running or installing apps directly onto the external memory card. You will have to install your apps to the internal memory, but anything else (music, videos, documents etc.) can be stored on your external memory card.

FolderMount (root) does the tick just fine. But the App in Question need to be installed on the internal storage at first. Afterwards it can be moved via the foldermount app.
root/restoration guides are in the development section.

Works fine ... Of course, root Required.
Wasn't too sure if this was old hat or a new development as I've been using Foldermount for my apps 2 SD solutions.
GSM arena are reporting that a recent update will allow movement of apps to the SD card, they've also stated that this update is for the T2 variant and isn't available for the Z series but if a mod could take this and make it available for the Z series then it'd be a nice addition to our phones.

isn't sd data is when you could install app to sd?? given that now we don't have install app to sd, we don't have sd data?? so in that regards.... i think most games now are 1+ gb, so all that takes up storage on your internal. doesn't it? and we start off with.... 11gbs left? so assuming not everybody but some ppl that owns large games they could install about 10 games at most?

That's wrong, huge games like san andreas, MC4 or Real racing 3 (in fact every game and application) install data on Memory, since on the Z serie there's 2 Sd cards, being main the phone memory
so you have Sd/0 and Sd/1, SD/0 is your phone memory and the one the apps/games use for data install, take out your SD memory and your apps will work fine since there's no data on it

Thats absolutely not true, when you install the likes of a gameloft game or an EA game, they're in sdcard0/Android/obb or android/data, these are both on internal memory, people who are rooted have relied heavily on apps such as folder mount for their gaming needs and the want to take the brunt of large install away from their internal memory, being at 16GB or less as it appears on android if you install 5 large games you'll see that your memory is very very low, using foldemount eradicates the need for your internal memory to be used up.
The reason I mentioned this features is because using foldermount and the like are all third party apps which people would go without if it were possible.
I don't need half of google on my phone no, not at all, i'll repeat what i said first so you understand, If you install five, (not fifty) just five large games then your internal memory is nearly full.
My install of GT Racing 2 900MB, my Real Racing 3 installation was over 1GB for certain, fifa i've seen go to over 1.5GB, it soon racks up. 100MB would be candy crush, i personally don't bother with the likes of them.
Thanks to everyone else with a positive reply Hopefully a dev will see this, it'll be nice if it were baked into a rom.
Apps to sd is very important to gamers

What a bag of turd some people are. Although its of no surprise. Its us, the bright human race at all. Ofcourse we need to ne able move or straight up install apps to SD. For the people who have reasons of their own against it, there's a new flash for you: dont use ot
@mneu777 I wrote that in the OP m8 But wouldn't it be nice if you didn't need a third party app? I use folder mount myself too, but would be nice if a third party app wasn't needed, eventually companies like Sony may actually notice that their high end phones have nowhere near enough memory in them for the apps that are available today, personally I think 32GB is a perfect allocation of internal memory, all flagships should give this much. Sony, Samsung and now HTC are all 16GB ( the models that I have to buy from here in the UK anyway)
That mod will be very nice !
I have a 2 gps programs ( i know there will be questons why 2 ? answer: becouse i need it !! ) and i use folder mount. It's working on games and other programs but not on my gps...i don't know why so 2 gps = 7 Gigs on internal and this mod for me will life save...
