Curious about buying this phone. Not so sure I want to do without an external SD card. So what exactly is the data partition size?
It has 24GB free if its not the international 16gb version.

I'm asking how much space do you have to install user apps?

Thats how much app-install space you have for the 32gb versioin of this phone and the 16gb model has 10.4gb available for apps and user data.
Seriously? That's awesome. So how does it break up the partitions for the fat32 side? Or is it just one large partition?

Just one large partition.
Very adequate for app + data but lacking if you like to store a lot of music/video. Cloud storage.
The "SD card" is emulated. It's stored on the data partition and expands as necessary.
If you only need extra space for infrequent circumstances like road trips or flights, you can always get a Meenova.

Is there a way to format internal SD? It seems after all these rom flashes I lost space.

Would have thought the steps was pretty obvious tbh
No such setting on Sprint Tab. Thanks anyway.

Strange, don't see any reason why it wouldn't have the ability.

The CDMA Tabs only have 2GB of internal memory, all of which is allocated to Android partitions, so effectively they don't have an "internal" SD card in the same way GSM Tabs do.
To the OP - have you applied a lagfix to your Tab? If so, it's likely that is where your space has gone.

Dave

Ahh now I see, I assumed the CDMA had same hardware as GSM and was only software difference. Glad im in EU then and got GSM plus a 16GB internal SD
I will look into that...thanks.

Ummm...I just got my Sprint CDMA Tab, and it comes with a 16gb. SD card. The option to format the card is greyed out however, but why couldn't you just format it in a PC?

The format option is only available after you unmount the sd card.

Hey guys, I just deleted a whole bunch of photos and videos (all saved to my desktop PC first) and my available storage space went from 4.8 GB to 8.48 GB, so only 2 GB short of the 11.50 GB total space which is great.
About the device memory, it says available space 1.61 GB. How much device memory does the phone come with and if I want to regain memory, how do I do that?
You've already made a thread in the (correct) Q&A section, no need to make another here.

Lol, who cares, honestly? Noone answered and it went to page 2. In the time it took you to write your reply you could probably have made an attempt to answer my question. Everyone's a moderator..
Device memory is about 2gb. Its a seperate part where apps are stored, so if you want to regain memery there delete apps. But you will only gain about 400mb max and have no apps.

Thanks matey. Ah, in that case, I'm fine with 1.61GB if I'm only down from 2GB. I was more curious than anything else.
So all apps get installed to the 2GB device memory only, and the USB storage is only for storing media right?

No, lots of apps also store their data on SD.
Usb storage is external flashdrive if your using an usbOTG adapter.
The SgsII has mainly a 16Gb version although some have reported owning 32Gb versions. That comes down to about 1.8Gb for apps separate, and 11.5Gb for your data.
Some apps can be installed on the 11.5Gb partition. That mainly depends on the app itself.

Thats the thing, for what the partitioning table (PIT in Odin) is used.
On my phone:
aroung 500MB for the system
2GB for appdata
12.5GB for userdata
These are around 15GB, to be correct i must say 15GiB, because if you convert it to the normal space everyone is talking about, you will get 16GB.
(1GiB = 1,073GB)

Hi guys,
I have a 1gb sd-ext partition that is nearly full, what with all the apps I have...
I also have another sd-ext partition created. Does anyone know if it can be used to keep apps there and use them, like how we use from our regular sd-ext.
Any ideas/thoughts if this is even possible ?
Thanks,
Greg.

Why don't you just enlarge your nearly full ext partition? I believe gparted can do this without wiping it. It may take a lot of time, though.

Yes, that's a possibility, but i read somewhere on xda that having 1.5gb or above creates issues?
Sent from my Nexus One using xda premium
Then don't make it larger than 1.5GB Some people say 1.5GB, others say 2GB. And it *can* become unstable, it doesn't have to. Don't know the facts about it.
I have 2gb ext4 on my N1 without troubles.

Like what Saad2687 said. My advise dont get scandisk though. I have samsung 32 gig class 10 and its amazing.
Yes I got a 32GB Samsung, but the thing is with the installations and all the bloat, is there something I can do? With my S3 I used aroma debloater it was awesome it left my phone free of non useful stuff.
Brother i am infact using sandisk 32gb class 10 micro sd from past 20 days and its great no problems at all.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
Use onboard storage only for apps and move media (photos, songs, videos) and documents onto SD card. But dont cheap out to buy any no name or cheap class 4 card. Class 10 is a must.
Root ya phone and grab titanium backup. You can uninstall about 900mb of crap such as eye scrolling etc...

As the others said, get a SD card. Also VERY helpful is Folder Mount as it lets you remap the /sdcard/Android folder from the internal memory to the external SD card which gets around the problem that most apps want to store everything inside those folders or directly in /sdcard.

32 GB external SD Card
Move anything that isn't apps (music, movies, any extra files) onto the external SD card. Get at least a 32gb and you should be golden.
Save to the SD instead internal memory

get another 16/32 Gig card, that should suffice.
i am suing sandisk 16 gig for the past 1 year and no issues till now, and most of the times its a life saver as i keep everything in my sd card (music pic etc)...
My setup which 16gb users might like.
My phone is 16gb
My sdcard is 32gb
But thays not enough space so i added an extra 64gb via usb
The method to mount usb is OTG in a modified case.
(*please note just use the usb when you need it as it obviously drains battery faster)
Here is a image of modified case

This didn't work for me.
/sdcard is a link to /storage/emulated/0
that's internal mounted fuse
/storage/extSdCard is real sdcard mounted normally.
It's 4.2s storage problem
in previous versions it was as.simple.as editing fstab.

I don't really put a lot of stuff on my phone as I have a separate mp3 player on me at all times, so the space taken up by bloat wasn't really a problem. I already had a 32GB card on me though so I slapped that in.
Hello everyone
Sorry for my last post. I didn't attach pic in that. Here it is. My model has 8gb space. Apps and files take only 4gb. And alloted space is 4.7gb for this. As a result I get storage space minimum notification constantly. So can anyone tell me where the remaining space is and is it possible to shift some space to storage
Thank you

There is 8gb there, but it's partitioned into about 4gb each. One for the OS and the other for media. So, you'll only be able to utilize 4gb for app storage.
Thanks for the reply. Is there any way to reduce the space alloted to OS?
