My s4 is showing 8gb storage any ideas why?
If you have the 16GB version of the S4.
You will have been 8-9 gb free, the rest is used by firmware and partitions.
how do you have a storage issue? buy a 64 gb sd card and never worry again!
just use the 16gb internal for apps & maybe a few ROMs
You can't install apps to a micro sd card though..

nobody suggested installing apps to the sd card. 8gb should be more than enough for most apps. if it isnt enough for the ones you use, return it and get the 32gb version

There is no plans for anything higher in UK though then 16gb must be wla way around it

9 gigs is so tight x:
after 2 bigger games, 3 mid sized ones and all your apps it's full... thank god for FolderMount
9 gb is cutting it close, one of the reasons m getting the phone is bcoz Galaxy s phones r so good at high end games.
this might be a deal breaker
It's a joke. Samsung claim they are selling the S4 in 3 memory sizes and now won't bring 32/64gb to UK. For a top phone you need more internal memory for apps and games.

well didn't they sell the SIII in all three versions there?
and they weren't released at the same time, so I would be inclined to guess that it would be the same with the S4

seriously thought I had heard about some pre-orders last year, sorry then :/
it's not coming to my country either, neither did the SIII so yeah.
just as ****ed as you as I wanted the 32GB version
Are Samsung ever going to release the S4 with 64GB internal memory as stated, or even one with 32GB internal memory?
All signs point to probably not.
i hope so, i preordered two ... im not buying anything less than 64 so.. ill continue to wait, got an N900 holdin me down.
edit: the 32 is already out in the 9500 flavor .. 24GB freespace
why wait or pay so much more for a 32 or 64 gig version, just get a 64gb sd card and slap it in. cost a lot less than the phone does
You can't move all games on sd, only some. So, you need larger internal memory.

too true, don't understand why they even put 16gb in if they are going to cram half of it with bloatware. minimum should have been 32 to start with
but once you root it and put CM10.X on it you will have a lot more room

What's file binding?
And to answer the original question: I think Australia will be also getting a 32gb model in the coming wks (don't take this as gospel though, it's an unconfirmed rumour as far as I'm concerned).
File binding and rooting doesn't work yet, has reliability issues and stops some apps from working.
Internal memory works better. We need bigger memory models. The 16gb should never have been sold.

Unlike Apple, Samsung doesn't sell the phone directly. It gets orders from the carriers and wholesalers. The carriers no nothing about the memory and apps issues so just ordered the cheapest model as it would sell the most. But they were basing this decision on lack of technical information.
Every single mobile phone shop is lying to customers telling them apps can be moved to the sd card. I have corrected the staff but do they care to raise it higher.

Yeah, but not only. If you check websites like Amazon, even there are only 16 GB devices They will release in 4-5 months the 32 and 64 gigs, when another, more powerful smartphone with 16 gigs will be released.
32GB is already out and being sold. there was a vid on youtube, ill look for it.
edit: BOOM!
Any further speculation/rumor on the 32 release (on AT&T specifically)? I spoke with a rep who said they will be getting the 32gb version, but did not know when. I spoke with a samsung customer service/marketing rep on facebook who said to contact AT&T for info. No help at all, and 16 just seems too small even with the 64gb microSD

How about some more magic and make that YouTube S4 appear for sale in the UK.
Any news update on 32gb/64gb with LTE models? I'd rather buy an 64gb htc one than a 16gb+64microsd S4. But I like the S4 more than the One.
I am also waiting for the 32GB version, don't know when it will be available in Middle East, can't wait to get my hands on this beast.

I guess I'll just take the 16GB and rely on custom roms to lessen the bloat and app to extSD. :|
So I pre-ordered a 32GB white version from Best Buy. They didn't have it on the 10th so I went ahead and bought a black one to tide me over. But I'm getting impatient for my white one.
Still not in at Best Buy. I'm told that they won't be in next week either.
But they have a white 16GB. I'm seriously considering buying it along with a 64 GB micro SD card and just call it a day.
My question is, is there any performance difference between the 2 storage sizes? Or does it just affect strict storage space.
Thanks,

There isn't any performance differences between the two. Unlike the nand that is used in SSDs, the storage used doesn't necessarily degrade when getting filling it up.
Just storage space. I'd hang for the 32 if you can. Don't do something rash just to have it today when in a few months you'll probably wish for more space.

Han... I agree with Wing on this one... I have a 32 gig note and I'm utilizing 10 gigs of it as of today. By the way, none of which are pictures or video, or for that matter too many games. I have a 64 gig sd card that I put my movies and pictures on.
So again, I'm utilizing 10 gigs out of the 32 gig storage that I have, that's just me, but if I were you I would wait for the 32 gig version
...Sent from my Tablet...Please excuse any typo's...
I would just have them ship it to the store and have them call you when it gets there. That way you don't have to pay for shipping, and can take advantage of the Best Buy return policies. There wouldn't be a performance issue based on the storage size. You've waited this long for the tablet to come out, what is a couple more days to wait for shipping? Play some GTA or watch some football till then. Life doesn't seize to exist because of a tablet.

Why? The 16 will be a lot cheaper and you can just throw a 64GB card in it for less than the price difference. Unless you anticipate NEEDING 96GB of storage instead of 80 somehow, lower built-in storage + external card is always the best option.

I disagree. It's $50 difference between 16 and 32 GB. You can break it down like this; If you keep and use the tablet for 24 months, it's an extra $2 a month!
I don't like moving apps to external memory, since not all apps support this feature. When I had my 16GB S4, I was constantly removing apps to make way for new apps. I hated that..
Also, the note does not have 16GB available to the user; it's more like 10GB.

So store all your files and whatnot on the external. You'd have to have hundreds and hundreds of apps to use up the full internal just on those.
Fifty bucks. You can get a 64gb micro SD card shipped for that. Keep all your media on there, apps on the internal, and for the same price you have 2.5x the storage.
The only way I ever filled up my s3 was downloading all my rdio music onto it. How could you possibly be filling up the device from apps? I've never in my Android life had so many apps I needed to move them to the card.

Not at all. I'm saying that MOST people have no need for 96GB of storage and could save money by getting the 16 and a card of whatever size they'd like. It bugs me when people are stubbornly insisting that they NEED to spend more money on something when they don't.
Okay, so you install Vice City and five more copies of it, and that still leaves you with about a gig and a half to do whatever with. Put all your music/movies/downloads/documents/whatever on the external and bingo bango you saved money AND had more space.
What SHOULD happen in Android is that they embrace external storage and make it easier to put stuff on the external card. What happens INSTEAD is we end up reinforcing the "tiered storage size" model like Apple and next thing you know more tablets and phones have NO external storage, and it costs $100 extra just to go up 16GB in size.
I'm not arguing this just because it's the internet and I like being contrary, it's because I really do have a reason to be promoting people getting the smaller model plus microSD.

dude, you're posting on XDA, not android4newbs. Most of us are power users who want and use more space.
If 16GB works for you, then cool. If someone wants to spend $50 for another 16GB, I don't see how that would bug you.
I'm the biggest fan of removable storage - That's why I choose Samsung, but preaching to all that MOST don't need more than 16GB because YOU don't use more than 16GB is just silly.
Also $50 is relative. To me $550 vs. $600 is not that big of a deal.

You're 100% right. I was speaking more toward someone who thinks 16GB isn't enough and wants 32. If you want 32, save a couple bucks and get the card. If you need ALL the space, then yeah get the 32 and a 64 card, but unless you need 96GB why spend the extra money?
$50 is definitely relative. I mean I have the Note instead of the Nexus because even though I'm not a massive stylus user I like having the option and the extra cost wasn't enough for me to mind, but I stuck with the 16 because I -reaaaaaally- feel like for 95% of users it's a smarter buy to get less included storage and add a card.
There's an added benefit, too. Let's say I buy a 16GB model and a 64GB card. Then in a year a new model comes out. I can once AGAIN get the 16GB model and stick my card in there. So not only did I save $50+ on the current one, but I saved it on the next one. It's savings that add up, and afford me the opportunity to get new devices! :laugh:
But again, it's about getting what YOU need. I'm sure some of you guys really DO need massive storage, in which case I really look forward for the day when these bad boys can take 128's.

Also your cost savings analogy doesn't make any sense--but i'm sure you were just joking.
Let's set aside microSD cards aside for a bit.. Anyway you split it; it's $50 bucks difference between the 16GB/32GB model. for someone like me, it's money well spent.

I had a lot more typed, but then I thought back on it and you do make a damn good point. Once you're over $500 it starts to turn kinda irrelevant, LOL. No matter how you slice it, I have NEVER been happier with a tech purchase. I actually was unsure I wanted a tablet AT ALL before I got the 2012 version of the Note 10.1, and that was awesome enough, but the new one? Sublime. 16 or 32, whatever. Buy it, enjoy. Is it perfect? Naw. Better than any other tablet I've played with? By a long shot. I used this thing side by side with the Nexus 10 and don't wish I'd gone the other way in the slightest.

You made the right choice, yeah. Is it just me or does the Nexus 10 feel like a Fisher Price toy by comparison? The 2014 feels like an executive briefcase to me, the Nexus 10 is a high school backpack. I hate the rubber back on it and the rounded corners. Seriously I opened the box of the 2014 up and was just like "oooohhh god I want to hold it even when it's not on."
I sold my Nexus 10 two weeks ago to get this and I'm so glad i did. This is definitely THE tablet to get now and it's a night and day difference compared to the Nexus 10.

Too many apps just don't take advantage of SD card abilities. SNote and Evernote are perfect examples. My Lecture Notes folder on my SD card is already at 1GB. After taking the system into account the 16 you should have 10GB available before use. That's really not that much. The 32GB model only gives you 26GB to start with. And yes I also have a 64GB card.

I'm getting one tomorrow and was also debating the 16 vs 32 question. But then I was checking out local stock in my area online and most stores are only selling the 32GB version. Problem solved, lol.
I should just listen to my own advice - I always tell people it's better to have more storage than you need, rather than "just enough". And in this case, a $50 difference isn't really that much.

Sorry if wrong place, couldn't see sub forum. Check this phone out guys the specs seem to good for the price. Wow!
Wounder if we can buy in UK?
http://oneplus.net/one#overview
Yup this phone is certainly one to keep an eye on, early reviews are positive! Amazed it's cheaper than the Nexus 5 (£229 for 16GB / £269 for 64GB) and has better specs too.
The runtime schould be better than the Nexus 5 runtime.
Seeing as Oneplus is created by ex Oppo employee and the 32gb Oppo Find 5 I used to own only had a 2gb partition for app storage, even the new Find 7 only has a 3gb partition, I will get the 64gb version only if the full 64gb is available for apps storage.
These small partitions for app storage are totally useless in that a lot of apps nowadays can be 1gb+ in size so a small 2 or 3gb partition will be filled up pretty quickly. As an example on my Galaxy Note 3 my total apps have taken up 3.7gb.
Otherwise, this phone sounds like near perfect device for me.
Why don't you just create a bigger Partition for Apps? That should be possible with the OnePlus One.

For me a device will never be the ultimate flagship if it lack a MicroSD slot. Especially if the phone is 16GB. Maybe the US has worldwide free 100Mbps WiFi for cloud and streaming, but the rest of us don't.

The only way in which it is a flagship killer is the unsustainably low price. Hence their ridiculous invite system.
You can either play the game with rabid forum fanboys in the hope of MAYBE being permitted to purchase this device, OR you can just to and buy the nearly identical Oppo Find 7a and have the device arrive within days.
If they'd priced it $100 higher they would've been able to have a sane ordering system. With their current business plan, the device is going to be vaporware for all but a small handful of users.

Maybe true, but if we all start to share invitations over here as well (as we already do), at least we can get one. Also, I do think there will be a point where they'll open up the store for everyone, so doing that for the lower price is fine with me.

I'm not really sure what this means.
I don't think I could fill up 60GB of usable if I tried. Although, my video/music collection is in the terabyte range. I don't need all of my music (not even a quarter of it), and I think I've watched an .mkv on my phone once.
I've been happy with 16GB (12.6GB usable). All of my music (via Subsonic, or Google Music all access)can be cached whatever I want on WiFi. I don't come close to hitting my 2.5GB limit of LTE on Net 10 or 3GB on Simple Mobile. My internet connection is also metered at home (300GB) and I've never been close to hitting that.
I didn't even have a microSD in my S4, and that was my last device with the option.

Seeing as Oneplus is created by ex Oppo employee and the 32gb Oppo Find 5 I used to own only had a 2gb partition for app storage, even the new Find 7 only has a 3gb partition, I will get the 64gb version only if the full 64gb is available for apps storage.
These small partitions for app storage are totally useless in that a lot of apps nowadays can be 1gb+ in size so a small 2 or 3gb partition will be filled up pretty quickly. As an example on my Galaxy Note 3 my total apps have taken up 3.7gb.
Otherwise, this phone sounds like near perfect device for me.

Very good point, I didn't know that about the Oppo phones. I'll definitely be looking out for that before I buy (assuming I'm lucky enough to get invited) since I have 5GB of apps installed on my N5.

Certainly interesting! I wouldn't call it a flagship killer, though.
For me a device will never be the ultimate flagship if it lack a MicroSD slot. Especially if the phone is 16GB. Maybe the US has worldwide free 100Mbps WiFi for cloud and streaming, but the rest of us don't.

With the latest KitKat changes the usefulness of the MicroSD slot is quite limited and according to both Google and Koush it is likely to be more of a second class citizen as time goes on. And the One has 64GB models for dirt cheap so I don't see this as much of an issue. There is no way I need more than 64GB.
No SD slot = sticking with my S5 and Note 3.

Do you really need a SD in a 64GB phone?
64gb internal is great especially since it'll be running at maximum performance. S5 has only a 16gb option and formatted it's 12 then TouchWiz brings it down to around 8gb. What SD would you put in there? 64gig would be the best since 128gb is expensive.

cant wait to sell my n5 and get my hands on this beauty
Let's see which model people have decided to buy. Drop a vote.
I personally think the price difference is fair and tempting to go for the higher end model.
Wanted the 64/6GB model but I had to wait to long for it in Italy, so I spend the few more bucks for the bigger one. Since I got the student -10% it was okay.
If there was expandable storage I would have got the 6/64GB. Considering you lose 15-20% of that space out of the box, getting the 128GB was a no brainer....its not like the 6GB isnt enough ram
I selected the 8/128 as the other one was out of stock and delivery delayed by a good week... The price different is not much anyway...
Couldn't fill up my 16GB devices back then, so I went for the more-than-enough 64GB model
I got the 64GB model, but I kinda wish I paid a bit more for the 128 ?
My old phone was only 32gb so any option would work for me, but I plan on keeping this phone for a while so I went with the 128gb. Compared to other phones this upgrade was cheap.
I can barely fill up my current 16 gb lg g2 and I've been using it for the past 2 years
I think 64 gb is more than enough for me
I was under half full on my 64GB OnePlus 2, so I went with 64GB again. I figure if I ever get that full I should be backing things up anyway.
Got the 128, should be here mid next week! I have 30GB of music alone so 128 is definitely the choice for me lol
I wanted the 64gb but it had a much longer waiting time so I settled for the 128gb. I think that 6gb RAM is gonna be overkill even in 2-4 years and storage is meaningless to me because I stream everything from my home server... Oh well.
who the hell is going to buy 64gb when you can get 128gb, I cannot understand that !!
I hate any kind of sync and I want to keep everything offline and do not overpay for roaming !!

Yeah the 60.00 was worth getting the extra storage alone, the extra 2gb was icing, most companies charge 100.00 for double storage

And who is going to buy a 128 GB model when there's a 64 GB model?? I can't understand that.
I hate any kind of copy and past crap to all of my devices and love my monthly great big data plan!
All I want to say... To each his own.
I came from a 128 GB OP5 and I'm very happy with the 64GB model. Battery life is even better with less hardware to provide of juice.

:good::good::good: AMEN! :good::good::good:
Who the hell really wants to have to rely on copy and pasting and keeping everything local these days? Who wants to have to copy from phone to phone these days to keep everything synced? I don't just use one device, i use multiple. The hassle to have to constantly manually copy to keep everything the same on all devices is a mentality from a decade ago. Get up with the times already. Automate that by using the cloud! Whether it be your own cloud or purchasing cloud storage.
My 128 should arrive tomorrow. Without expandable storage, I want the largest I can get.

I cannot understand why you ever would need that much storage? Do you really need that 4k porn with you all the time?
I went with the 8GB/128GB one not because I needed it but because I wanted it. It's all about choice without breaking the bank [emoji5]

Actually I wanted more storage, but as the shipment of the 128/8gb would take a few days more I've bought the 64gb version.
For $50 more you get specs comparable to a low-end gaming machine.
