I am upgrading my phone to the S4 today or tomorrow. When I was at the Sprint store checking it out, the guy I was working with said he was disappointed that one whole GB of the 2 GB of RAM on the S4 is completely allocated to the OS of the phone. 1 GB of RAM really?
I'm having a hard time believing that, I've searched for some articles and haven't found anything. Anyone care to shed some light on it?
Thanks in advance!

Hello, I about to buy Motorola Defy+ in the next 2 weeks and I'm curious about few things that I didnt clearly understand about the phone.
I've been looking around and I found it's specs.
The most confusing thing in it's specs was "2 GB storage, 512 MB RAM, 1 GB ROM". As far as I could understand it and explain it to myself was it has 512 ram, 1 GB memory to install custom roms and 2 GB internal storage for games/movies/pictures/music. Am I right?
One more thing that I'm curious about is the storage. If I was right about the internal and rom storage do you guys have any problems with 2 GB storage?
Thanks in advance. I'll be happy to join Defy's community.

Do not worry about anything, just buy the phone if you don't really need secondary camera. We have the best developers working for the development of defy. So you'll be more than happy. We have stable gingerbread, ics, jb builds, also 4.2 in the making. So go for it.

Thanks, mate! The good devs is a huge fact that made me like the phone even more. This device seems immortal thanks to Quart.
Your answer really encouraged me to buy it. Actually, I'm going to try the phone in two hours. I will join the community in like 2 weeks.
So what's the deal if I have a 16 gyg phone and my storage says total space= 9.62gyg.....is it bloatware? that's a lot of bloatware, dont you think? WTF!!!

This has been discussed many, many times. Please use the forums search feature or look through the existing threads and you can find discussion about the issue.
And Yes, it does suck.
Here is a good place to start...

But there is a whole bunch of more on this issue throughout the forum. Good luck.
Oh, and you posted this question in the wrong forum. (fixed)

Switch to AT&T and purchased a 32 gigabyte model and you shouldn't have a problem anymore. That's why there was so much heat on samsung for not releasing the other models with more internal space. However, I was speaking with AT&T rep and he told me that sales for the 32 gig models was extremely low and they never ran out of stock so I don't know if people are really that annoyed with the limited internal space because after all that pressure on Samsung they finally released a model with more internal space and people aren't buying it so maybe Samsung was right all along to not release anything but the 16 gigabyte model.

Dear All,
I know what I'm asking is also personal preference.
Currently I own a Z1, but due to the bootloader issue when unlocking the bootloader your camera function breaks and very small rom community, it crossed my mind to buy a LG G2 (and what also helps is the terrific battery life).
The thing which is currently me holding back to buy a LG G2 is regarding the the 16GB. In The Netherlands they don't sell the 32GB version.
My questions are:
1. How much space does a custom LG stock rom software needs?
2. How much space does AOSP normally rom needs?
Thanks guys

I don't know how closely this will apply to your version, but my stock T-Mobile USA 32GB model shows 24GB of space, of which I've already used up 8 GB just loading up all my usual apps and such.
Seems like 16GB is likely to feel cramped.
Got the phone yesterday...so far, 1st impression, love it. Best phone I've owned...and I've owned quite a few

I think I asked somewhere. Since there it's no repartitioning. The roms take the same space.
Had before a 32GB hox. That was enough with USB otg.
Now this 16 having only 10 GB left. With one backup almost 3GB compressed. Some pics and one big game Asphalt and I can't do a second backup....
Without USB OTG a 16 would be for me unstable unusable....
Still waiting for my meenova

LG customers (along with many others) get 50gb free space on box for lifetime at the moment.
No effing way. The OS/ROM holds 9 GB ransom. I suppose 16GB would be OK for a casual user, but casual users wouldn't register for an XDA account.
Flipping ridiculous, man. I don't need, or particularly want, all the fancy animations and stuff. 9 gigs for a phone OS? The Linux instance on my HTPC is half that... Shoot, I can trim Windows 7 down to within spitting distance of that.
Can't wait for true skinny stable AOSP 4.4 on this device.

Hi all, as the title says, I'm asking: What's the overall available memory on the 32GB version? I had the 16GB version, but somebody stole me this device the third day, what I have it... Although I have this device few time, I was surprised and I love this device. The only bad thing was free memory, it wasn't enough for me... Now is the time to buy a new smartphone and I've got 2 candidates. This device and Note 3. I afraid too large display and burn in problem with amoled displays, so I rather want LG G2. But I afraid few available memory, so that's the reason why I'm asking for it. I wasn't able to find out it on Google, so please don't answer me: Use Google...
Thanks in advance,
Dominik
24.84GB out of 32GB :good:
Thank you very much bro...
That should be enough for me..
no problem dude.. its more than enough for me :good:
Hello, I know obviously my 16GB has only 13GB available for myself to use because three gig or so is taken up by the rom and such. However, on closer inspection, I don't actually seem to be getting that. I was looking at my storage earlier and I seem to be missing nearly three gig from the slightly less then 13gb that I have available. I just wondered if maybe you guys could shed some light on this for me, I appreciate any help you guys can offer, thanks in advance. Don't hesitate to ask for more info.
