any way to get full 32 out of lgg2. dont feel like reading all this 100 pages in threads but i know answer is there .
Lol no.
Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk
The system uses the 32 for itself, the only way to get the full 32 would be to not have an os installed abs then i don't see how you would access your data

about 8gb is used for OS itself,
so the simple answer is no

I bought the nexus 4 8gb. too small i know buts thats what i can afford.
any way can some one explaine why the storage capacitiy is only 6 gb?
thats a real let down.
AW: [Q] A math problem with the storage size?!
It's because the system takes about 2GB of storage. So no "math problem" but some irritating advertisement.

This is no different than any other device. The same is true for any other android device and yes even the iPhone. The system ROM will always require a small portion of available space

As above plus have you ever seen a HDD that was advertised as e.g 500gb and actually had that 500 as usable space

<pedantic>Every 500GB HDD I've seen has at least 500GB of user-addressable space. Though not 500GiB.</pedantic>

No. On the iPhone the nand is larger than what is advertised. If you buy a 16GB phone there is a 20GB+ nand in there so that the user can access the 16GB that was advertised.

Where did you get this? There was a 20+ NAND built in but I could only use 14 in my 16 gig version.

I am talking about the iPhone 5/4/4S
Users that use iDevices get the full space as advertised, probably because it costs more anyways.
Android devices are cheaper so they couldn't care much about delivering whats advertised.
Any how, you shouldn't have any issues with an 8GB N4.
Considering DropBox (You can get 18GB of Dropbox space for as little as $5. I've personally bought it from here http://www.ebay.ca/itm/160943243088?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I don't play games on my phone so that wont waste space either.
I just have about a gig of music on my phone.
Okay so I just picked up a 16GB GS4 and I only have 9.72GB avaliable I know that their wont be 16GB available because of operating system etc..but I find it hard to belive that it uses 6GB is this normal?

Yep...it may not be using all that, but thats what the system partition is set to...this kinda thing is normal for any device whether its iPhone or android or a computer...heck even flash drives and hard drives have data missing

I'm tired of running out of room on my i337m internal storage of 9.xxgb of a 16gb card I now have a 64gb external card but still have internal room issues. Like no space haha

If you are willing to spend around 150 to 200 usd, Mobiletechvideos has a service that literally upgrades the internal storage up to 64gb. It is called eMMC repair/upgrade. Other than that, you will have to transfer as much as possible to an external card.

You can do this yourself if you know how to open the phone. Once you take off the coverings the internal is easily accessible and in fact removeable so all you need to do is a simple swap. But, just make sure it's formatted to the correct for internal

Ummm... No. It is soldered to the motherboard and requires a reflow station to remove. It is not an at home thing to do. It requires professional equipment to remove and upgrade.
Please know what you are talking about before you get someone to potentially break their phone.

I have been in and out of the S4. the only way to get more storage space is to replace the motherboard or like I said, reflow station. Samsung would not have a cradle for the eMMC chip. It would be more costly and take up more space. Also, why would they do that knowing that people would try and fail to upgrade their storage?

A Google search would be your next option for proof.

Check out dropbox. I have 50GB available on mine when I bought my HTC one for free. Now I have GS4 and am still using it. Works great.

Well now I feel like an idiot. I was under the impression that we were in my other phones forum which has a removable internal SD card. I'm really sorry guys

Use foldermount. Free version lets mounts 3 things to.your ext sd. If you have big games its the way to go. My phone was completely full now I have almost 7 out of 9 gigs internal left.
On first open hit app analyzer and move the 3 top apps it shows you. Just the large data file. Dont set it to mount on boot. Just mount and unmount those apps b4 and after using them. When unmounted they aren't on the internal storage not even with a explorer. When.mounted you can see.the data on internal and external
I upgraded from the galaxy nexus to the g2 and what I can't figure out is what is using all the ran on the g2 I have the same apps on the g2 as I did on my gnex but on the g2 uses almost a gig of ram where as the gnex only used half of that with all the same apps the only difference is the ROM and kernel could it be one of them using all the ram
i can see many more differences between these two devices lol. resolution being the most obvious one.
ill try explain with an example. u have a small house and feel comfortable there. then on top of that u build a 4x bigger house. and you would still live only in the small house. wouldnt it be better to use parts of the bigger house aswell ?
and not only the house grew but you as well.

yeah, nothing to worry about. 1gb used ram is pretty standard now.

Unused ram is wasted ram

The LG has 2GB of RAM, if your device uses 1.9GB, then start worrying. If it uses only half or 1.5GB, it is a good thing.
U know,g2 has a much better gpu,processor and resolution etc and does and handles everything better(while sacrificing ram usage)

Hi guys,
We knw that a nexus 4 with 16gb has only 12 gb user usable memory. After almost 6 mnths with my nexus 4 i admit 12 gb is not enough. I had read in some forums about repartioning the internal memory.i just want to know if there is a way to repartion nexus 4 such that we can atleast get 14 gb useable memory and spare rest for OS.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
There's no way an average user can do that. And for some one very advanced it'll probably brick the device. So, to answer your question, no

With no expandable memory I think ur only choise is cloud storage.
