[Memory] Deal of the Day - 32GB Class 10 for $39

It is the deal of the day on Amazon. A nice treat I woke up to (supposedly $79 off normal price).
I do not need more memory, but perhaps some of you do?

Is Lexar a good brand? I usually stick to Transcend.

Lexar's not bad.
I saw this, too. But if you're trying to save money check the Amazon link below.
Edit: Comment retracted. Apologies.

A class 10 will always blow out a class 4 when performance is involved (manufacturer branding aside of course). I have had a 32gb c10 for about a year now and love it. Before I had a 16gb c6 which was way better than the garbage that phones come with as stock.
Here is a nice little app that I use from time to time to check my r/w speeds. Pretty accurate for an in-phone-sdcard speed reader. Best tests are done on PC but this one is close.

Class most certainly makes a difference. That said, 32GB cl 4 for $30 is also a great deal. I'd step up to Cl 10 for another $10 though.

Wow awesome price! Noobb question would the vibrant support it? If so im ordering it now

Yes. I am rocking a 32gb right now with about 200cds, 4 movies and a bunch of other stuff and only have 14gb used, plus that extra 9gb I have free on the internal.
Seriously with +/-16gb internal and a 32gb sdcard, that is almost 50gb of storage. Remember when PCs had 30gb hd drives and that was huge?

^ Another MAJOR reason why I am SO glad to have the Vibrant back. The GS4G only had a 1GB internal... wooptie doo for the next generation Vibrant.
I can recall my first mp3 player with 256MB space. Ouch.

Lol, I had a 50 mb player, it basically only held one album tops, and it had to be low quality too.

How long it takes your phone to scan the card on booting/mounting?
I had a 16GB class 6 it worked fine on reading/writing, but everytime phone took long time on scanning, so switched back to 8GB class 6, much faster on scanning

Maybe 2 minutes max. With strategic .nomedia files it only scans what I want it too.

Finally got this bad boy in the mail and I love it. Well worth the buy and I had an Amazon card that i didnt use for Christmas so it was free. Good find id thank you unfortunately I can't on the app

[All Carriers] Internal Storage Partitioning

EDIT (2012-06-27):Great news! Android Central was wrong and internal storage does not appear to be partitioned! Although it's strange that it's not closer to 28GB. Thanks to aznmode for posting the first screenshot in another thread.

Original:
To those of you with the 16GB phone in hand, could you post a screenshot of the Storage screen? Androidcentral's review of the 32GB model says that the 32GB is partitioned into 12GB of "phone storage" (for apps) and 12GB of "internal sd". I was all set with getting the 32GB version, but this has now given me pause. Can it be re-partitioned to be one single large partition for apps? If not, I would just go for the 16GB version (assuming it has similar amount of space for apps) and spend the $50-saved on a 32GB MicroSD card.

Yea it is a buzz kill on 32g it saves 12 to USB storage and 12 to internal sd card im getting the 16 gb

Any chance the Dev's will come up with something that will allow us to change this?

I would think so. The guys in the Nook Tablet forum provided a way to repartition that thing from it's miniscule 1GB of user space.

12 + 12 = 24. Where is that last 8GB? O/S reserved space or something?

I think so too, but if it is, then the 16GB crowd will only have 8GB divided between apps and data (before adding a micro SDHC card), that blows.

Totally sucks on the 32gb version which I switched to and ended up waiting longer for. I do hope there is a way to repartition them to one.

This is where I'm at now. Just a few essential apps and a few pics. Haven't put me sd card in yet
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Thanks tkemack! Seems like without re-partitioning, both 16GB-models and 32GB-models will run out of app space at the same time. That's assuming that Android Central really does have the 32GB version...

I was expecting the 32GB version to have 28GB (12GB+16GB) in a single partition. There's really no reason not to have exactly 16GB more than the 16GB-model. I guess we'll see next week when people get the 32GB-model in hand. Hopefully someone will post a screenshot in this thread.

I'm hoping the website is wrong as I see no point to partitioning it. Isn't the GNex on Sprint 32GB? Maybe someone who has one of those can shed some light on if theirs is partitioned.

is this something we errrrrrr (the devs) can change ?

This makes me glad I got the 16gb! I was having a hard time deciding, but I figured I could just throw in a 32gb sd card if I start to run out of space. I doubt I'll actually use 16gb just for apps.

Yeah... Epix4G posted a screenshot of the Galaxy Nexus in another thread showing a single large partition.

Now that people are taking delivery of the 32GB-model, could someone post a screenshot of the Storage screen?

Also wireless Mouse/KB
and the best part for me is I can Connect my USB speakers to it.
But in case of speakers Battery must be charged well, as speakers are high powered device.
But it runs as long as battery is not down to like 30-40 %.

I just picked up a couple. They were .69/each with free shipping.

Suprising they're spitting out phones with those specs as of today. I mean, we're almost in Q4 of 2012.

No, no, no... You want the HDC I9300 Pro... It has the MTK6577 processor that goes to 2.0Ghz and has 1 Gb or ram... Its also dual sim (if you want it to be) with a normal sized sim &/or a micro sized sim. Or 2 normal sized sim if you want. White or Frost Blue. And only $210US... What a bargain....
Might be nice for a novelty, if you have a spare couple hundred floating around but I have other things to spend my money on...

Apple should sue!
OH, wait.

I guarantee you it's more like .8MP. I've seen China phones that were 12MP but in reality were 1.2 at best.
And if you've ever used a decent smart phone, let alone an S3 you would definately notice the difference. The knock-offs are horrible to use.

It can be an 8MP sensor but if the processing sucks it'll look like a 0.8MP shot.

I was thinking of keeping the Note 2 for a while but this is a game changer.

If it really has 3 gigs of ram, and the screen is larger without making the body much larger, especially making too much wider (I had some trouble with the original note...) I think I'll buy it Maybe... haha. I love my note 2 soooo much!

I'll watch the size first. But i bet no FM radio too.

Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

nope.
they are just assumptions.
note 3 will probably come out in september and there are 3 full months, samsung can change anything in that time.
the current assumptions are as follows-
5.99" screen probably 2xxx by 1xxx resolution
13mp camera
octa-core @ 2ghz or snap dragon 800 and @ 2+ ghz
3 gigs of ram.
that's all that has been most rumoured yet

What about the battery ? 4000mah?

Im hoping for snapdragon 800 @2.3ghz

Don't know mate, but to me it's not a huge upgrade! I mean if you look back, Note to Note 2 had 100% upgrade, so in that sense Note 3 should have 4 GB RAM.
Anyway, I'm quite happy with 2 GB so far, haven't seen any apps get closed or anything, yet.

I really hope it does come with the snap dragon 800
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

The most interesting rumor I read was that of a 3x optical zoom on the camera. Don't forget, the note 2 was supposed to have a 13 mp camera originally but they couldn't get a good enough supply so stepped it down to match the s2's camera.

3 GB RAM is nice - but not particularly important for me. But what really intrigues me is the battery - hope they pack 4000mah battery now, that'd make me seriously tempted And since it's FHD it's likely to be pentile.
What really worries me though, is the thinner bezels making the OLED more prone to cracking - I mean I never thought anyone would report S4 having cracked OLEDs by just keeping it in pockets - having gorilla glass and all that. I really suspect this is due to thinner bezels.

5.99 is a real mistake. ...i am glad because that way i wont spend money
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2

I skipped s4 because I already have monster note 2 in my hands. I am very ery happy with it, now I am very much excited for note 3. I really believe that Samsung will bring their A+ device for note 3.
