If you watch this, then you would know that you get Avatar for free with your phone. Sounds like a desperate move from T-Mobile to differentiate it from the other variants. I'm jealous.
They are just having a movie to show off the screen just like for Transformers on the HTC HD2
Desperate? Uh, why?
The AT&T, Sprint and Verizon Galaxy S phones will probably come barebones with nothing besides the phone, a battery and the charger. T-Mobile always includes some extras and accessories with their phones. Like the headset, MicroSD adapter, an extra back cover, Avatar, and a GoGo free trial.
great - a movie about 8' tall blue smurfs
that's why i'm buying the phone
Got my vibrant today. Its a nice phone coming from the nexus. oh ya the avatar movie is DRM (.dcf) unlike the one in HD2 where its just a mp4 file.
that explains why i couldnt copy the file to my hard drive. i dont mind the movie being drm but if thats the case why not install it on the phones built in memory.. if a change memory cards the movie is no longer available.. its kind of a give and take
meh, the quality its not that great still some artifact not that sharp
so what if i wanted to copy it to a bigger micro sd car would I be able to do that?
No, each movie is registered to 1 sdcard/device
That sucks. I was planning on buying a 16 gb class 6 micro sd card and placing the movie in there with all my music and movies in to the extra 30 gb ( 16 internal and 14 external )
the internal is also formatted so its actually 13.1 gb available space
oh so I guess Avatar isn't going to be apart of my phone if I can't even put it on another card
Watch the movie once (if you really want to watch it on your phone that is) and then swap sd cards. How many times will you want to watch that movie on your phone anyway. Personally, I'll probably take a quick look at it and that's about it. I'm much more interested in playing my own movies and shows on this thing than watching Avatar over and over.
If you have it on Bluray just make a DRM free copy of it and put it on your new microsd card. While its cool to have, how often will you sit down and actually watch the movie. What you could also do is carry the extra card with Avatar on it with you, like your wallet or something. And when you want to watch it pop it in.

i have a blue ray copy of avatar how do i make it drm and less then 2gb so it will fit in my sd card
I had absolutely no problem copying the movie from the original 2gb card to my 16gb. It plays fine.
Of course I have no interest in watching it again, but I keep it on to show off to friends.
Yes. It works if you copy it to a another SD Card. It will probably work only on that phone. But it will work on any SD Card. I copied it to a 4GB SD Card and it works fine.

whoa, really? that sucks. Since this is XDA, we can't really talk about options, but I'm sure there are a multitude of ways to strip the DRM.
I kinda doubt that they locked it to sdcards, as ^^ indicates.
Once again, the movie works fine if you move it to another SD card. I moved it to my 16gb card and it works just fine. I think it is just registered to the device, not to a specific SD card. Move it at will!
how do i make a link to the new placement of the movie on the internal drive?
I've got a pc screen with a hdmi in.
I've just ordered a galaxy tab and I've also got a 16Gb sd card.
And I would like to watch my mkvs on my screen and on tvs of friends.
The movies range from 5-12gb, but are roughly about 8gb big.
I'm not so happy with any solution I've found yet,
actually the only solution I could find, was to part my mkvs somehow and then put them on the sdcard. But I'm too lazy to do that with every movie. 16gb isnt a lot of storage either.
Can u think of a better solution, could I maybe make the sdcard ntfs, so I dont have to part the movies, will the tab recognize it?
My favorite solution still would be a 2,5' hdd with the movies on and plugged in to a usb-charger. But no camera-connection-kit
I might be wrong, but the tab can do HDMI only with the dock.
Aside from that, some kernels have support for ext file systems, you might have better luck using that one.

So I see this conversation taking over a few other threads. I am not trying to play clean up I just think we need a thread for it since it is a heated debate.
So no SD card... What to do... some say online storage and others say OTG.
I currently use both. I am on Sprint and running the Epic 4G Touch. I am lucky enough to be on a WiMax area so I can take advantage of the unlimited data that Sprint offers. But even with that I still use OTG.
If I take some pics and vids I usually start putting them on Picasa and Youtube pretty fast. This keeps my internal 14Gb memory a little more open for new pics and vids. I have an 8Gb SDcard and it is full of music. to this date I have only ever ran out of space once and I was shooting a 30 min HD movie on top of what I had not cleared off. I then started carrying a 32gig USB stick to help alleviate the lack of space but even that can get cramped so I have a 500Gb 2.5" hard drive and it works very well so far.
The other thing I have done, because we all know that Youtube recompresses your video's, was setup an Android on a stick TV device with an FTP server. Attached to that guy it a couple 1Tb harddrives. I can throw my vids up there as well when in a crunch.
As you can see there are lots of options to replace a missing SDcard slot that can only ad 32Gb of space unless the company paid the extra buck to allow 64Gb. That to me is still limited and I find it just as easy to OTG some movies off and on my phone as the USB sticks are easier to manage than opening my phone up to remove the Micro SDcard and put it into a USB adapter.
Again this is not a deal breaker for me as there are far to many options to a SDcard and some are way more convenient.
No SD is not really a problem for me, though a 64gb version of the handset would have been welcome, to many others aswell. I know one is due to be coming to the uk but not soon enough for some.
Not an issue for me as I have very little music/pictures on my phone and just apps.
USB OTG is more than enough for me

It's not a deal breaker for me, the thing I like about the sd I'd if something happens to the phone how would you get your backups, photos, etc. off of it. I plan to keep it backed up to my computer or ex hard drive. Just saying

For me it's not an issue at all. I used to only believe in sd card storage but then I started to realize I've never even filled up an sd card to it full capacity and I've only ever had an 8gb card so 32gb is more than enough for me I can't even see my self getting close to 16 gb.
Not to mention I've had an iPhone for about 2 years now so I've gotten used to not having an sd card anyways.
with my phone history realistically whether the phone had memory card or not I haven't even used 11gb of memory ever! especially when I get bored of things I delete them. I have a 32gb memory card (29gb was free space) and I still have 23gb left! and I have tonnes of videos and music and pics on my memory card. Just generally if I want to watch HD content etc I put it on my laptop which has 750gb hard drive plus a bigger screen to watch things on.
In terms of backing everything up, my most important things are backed up on my laptop and my memory card and memory stick so even if the phone was to die, I would have everything available anyway as when I take pics and videos etc I put them on my laptop then memory stick or memory card. I suppose having a card slot makes thing easier but i am not fussed. Have had xperia S, One S and One X with no memory card and hasn't bothered me.
Never took the SD card out of my Nexus One in almost 3 years. So to me the SD card is pretty much just a potential security problem, I don't care about that at all. A removable battery is nice, though. This is actually the only real problem I have with the HTC One, that the battery is not removable and it doesn't have a waterproof-excuse for this like the Xperia Z.
I've been saying this since the One X was announced last year. Is it a big deal? No. Simple.
In a year or 2 there won't be any expandable memory. Apple made it a standard years ago and clearly survived. I hate to compare to them but it's a simple concept that works.

That's mainly because they increased the internal memory. With greater onboard memory it does negate the need, plus switching is just clumsy.
I'm coming from a 16GB iPhone 3GS and never filled it.
I'm just glad HTC went with a 32 and 64gb variants. Because if they would've made the one with just 16gb storage capacity, I don't care how good the device would've been, I still would have not consider it.
I rather have an sdcard slot. But with a 64gb internal storage, I'm good with.
I have a 32gb in my mytouch 4g and I'm already way over half of storage taken.

The smartphone obviously isn't a replacement for a desktop (or media content server), but is sure has become a replacement for all the other portable computerized devices we used to carry: PDA, GPS, camera and mp3 player, etc. So, what kind of storage would one need to replace all those devices? Camera storage of 8 - 16 GB is not unreal for a collection of photos and videos, and music player storage of 16 - 32 GB is not uncommon for a collection of music. That's pretty conservative these days.
And ya, cloud storage is great, but c'mon, let's be realistic, we want all of our music and video content available locally so that when we don't have connectivity (like on a plane) we can still access our collection of music and videos.
32GB is almost NOT enough for many users. It is good that a 64GB version is available. I only wish the 64 GB versions were more readily available.
With ~ 25 GB of user space left over on a 32GB phone, that's not enough for me. I could make it work, but I would have to make some serious compromises about what I would have to leave out of my music collections, just to add a movie or two to watch on a trip.
An SD card slot would have solved the whole thing.
Just because Apple makes lots of money selling products targeted to users who care less about options than your average techie, doesn't mean it is a good idea to copy them.
I'm seriously considering the HTC One, but the lack of SD card and battery replacement has ALWAYS been a negative point against the whole prospect. The screen resolution is a plus, but they are starting out with points against them with the SD card problem.
And I really don't understand why they would do that.
Is anyone else having this problem?

Removed as in someone sneaked in and removed it from the phone unexpectedly? Or do you mean its unmounting without your prompting?

Only saw it happen once. I'll clean it. Maybe a bad connection.
Also, lose the signature.
How's it formatted? exFat? I have had issues with mine formatted that way.
Switched back to Fat32 for awhile. Tried exFat again and have not had any problems for several weeks.
Running agats kernel btw.
This is how many times my card keeps unmounting.

I purchased a Sandisk 64Gb card during the last Amazon sale. The thing did this constantly and was unusable. Yesterday I got a Samsung 64Gb card and I've been using it pretty much non-stop without issue. Seems Sandisk had a bad batch or something, so, are you by any chance using a Sandisk? I've read about this happening with 32Gb Sandisk's too.
yes this happened ALOT with my 32gb sd card. even got it corrupted and lost all my info doing a format.
since it hasn't happened yet.
I had my evo do this. Even though some people were saying that changing the card helped, or most weren't having the problem, my deduction was that the card was moving inside the SD socket. Same idea as unplugging an external drive. If you did that while the drive was accessing, for whatever reason, it would corrupt the card. I permanently lost files that couldn't be recovered, even with recovery software. I stocked it up to a less expensive (quality) card and the card moving in the socket. Since the evo had a funky SD card socket and lock system, I tore a piece of paper, the same size as the card and folded it over and put it on top of the card. In that setup, the battery held down the card because it was on top of it. The paper took up the slack and made the battery push down slightly on it and make it less likely to move around. Problem never resurfaced. Perhaps put a piece of paper on top of the card before sliding it in. The extra thickness might make it less likely to slide around. Not too tight or you might have problems removing it or it might damage the card mechanism. Make sure the paper isn't too small. Like too small to get stuck in the slot after the card is removed. Just some ideas...

If this is the problem then it should be covered under warranty. It's workmanship and I'd take it in. Jimmy rigging isn't something you should be expected to do to use your device.

Same thing happened with my 32gb Sandisk Ultra when I had my GS3. I re-formatted it and it was fine for about a month....and then all of a sudden it became unreadable (nothing would read it). Sandisk had no problem sending me a new one. I lost a lot of pics, videos and music though.

Happened to me a few times, ended up showing sdcard error eventually so I reformatted with no problems since

Wow. This has been happening to me for a few days. I just went to work and exchanged out my 32gb Sandisk for a new one. Hasn't done it since the exchange but I guess we will see since it seems to be a common problem with the S4 and not my SD card.
It was weird though because it said it was a bad SD card so I put it into another phone (S3) and it said the SD card was bad as well. I formatted it while in the S3 and then I put it back into my S4 and everything worked fine. The format didn't even erase my SD card. That was strange. I even attempted the format a few times because it kept saying my SD card was bad and needed a format. So I kept formatting until it stopped giving me the message. All of my stuff was still on it. I just decided to exchange the SD card today just to be safe.

I had issues with my 64gb SanDisk when it was formatted exfat. Since I formatted to fat32 I have not had an issue.
Ive been having this issue for awhile now too. At first I had a 16gb sandisk Class 10 formatted fat32 and it randomly would remove itself, formatted it to exfat and a few days later same thing. So I thought it may be a bad card even though it was only a few months old, went out and bought a Lexar 32gb class 10, formatted it via the phone before storing anything to it (formatted as Fat32).....few days later, unexpectedly removed again. I then formatted fat32 in my PC after unchecking the quick format box, worked for a few days and today it removed itself again....So at this point Im kinda at a loss? Im going to try the paper trick as suggested by oscarthegrouch, and see if that makes any difference cause this is getting pretty annoying. I also thought it may be a bug in the system but I recently updated to MG1 and this is still happening. Is this only happening to people that have rooted phones?

After cancelling the 64gb graphite 6P, and going for the smaller 5X, and then cancelling the 5X and reordering the only available 32gb graphite 6P after realizing I'd much happier with the bigger device, sleeker looking, better specs after all. I'm wondering now if 32gb will be enough. I plan on shooting alot of photos and videos with this rumored great camera. What are your thoughts about the size?
Are you concerned about space with the 32gb 6P?
I'm not because I ordered a kingston c to A USB on the go. Despite that, 32 is perfect for me. But since you shoot lots of photos and videos 64 might be better but I upload everything to the cloud anyways.

There will be something like 26gb usable on that 32gb.
Ive probably got that in games and office apps.
If youre gonna be shooting 4k videos and storing music etc youll soon use it up.

How do those work, you have to leave it connected to device as you fill it up? Or just to quickly transfer data to it and disconnect?

Using a 64GB device now and I don't think I'd ever go for less for the foreseeable future. As much as you can get around things by using cloud services, you will always have that hard limit of ~26GB, which isn't that much... Especially for a large device that would be great for watching media.
I used to think i needed 64+ personally until I took a look at what I actually had on my device. Once I removed all of the crap I had on there (Games/movies/apps I no longer used/watched) I found I didn't need all the extra space. I also store all of my music, photos and high res vids in the cloud all the time so I can keep my device clean. When I travel I load up my device with all the media i'll want for the trip (just in case there is no in flight wifi) until i get where i'm going and I've still never run out of memory on my 32GB nexus 6
So pretty much this is a question no one can answer for you. It varies from person to person and you're just going to have to figure out how much memory you will require based on how you use your own personal device and the cloud services available to you.
I wouldn't go any less than 64. I have 70+gb of photos and videos and I like to have them to hand without relying on the cloud. I also have 40+gb of music. For me 128 isn't really enough either.

I hear ya, but this question was more aimed at the people that actually ordered the 32gb version
Presumably most people who would have been concerned about lack of space on a 32GB 6P would have ordered a larger one.
Yeah.. I'm doing just fine with 32GB on my N5, I only ordered the 128GB 6p because why not.
If they had the larger I probably would as well. I better get that otg drive.

Both these links confirm the size to be 3.5 GB for 10 min of 4K video, which actually concerns me.
I should have gone with the 64/128 GB. But now if I cancel my Nexus 6p 32 GB order I don't know how long I'll have to wait for 64/128 GB as they both are out of stock.

I have everything backed up online anyway, and I use Google Play All Access for my music, so I don't think 32Gb will be a problem at all. My current 32Gb Nexus 5 has so little stored on the actual phone, I've still got 12Gb free.

Do you mean SD Cards?
My 32GB N5 was full of TWRP backups more than anything else, so not concerned, 32GB should be plenty. I used to carry all my music with me, but now I uploaded it to Google and just stream it from there. Photos go on the NAS and Google Photos right away too, the phone is just a temporary cache.
32Gb is fine for me. I have a synology solution with plex.
So music/tv/films are all streamed OTG, yes it will suck as i need constant connection but I have unlimited data anyways so that doesn't concern me.
If i really wanted to take some films i'll just use a USB OTG storage solution. But that is super rare for me. I don't play games on my phone (tablet & PC for that)
