I just picked up the Hong Kong variant from eBay and upon booting up I've attached it to my laptop and started to transfer all my media. I noticed that it was showing 108GB free out of 109GB.
My other half has a 10E and her device when hooked up to a computer shows 119GB total memory, is there a discrepancy somewhere or is this "normal" for the 10+ to have 10Gb less memory than the 10E.
Thanks in advance

Hi guys, I'm having an issue in that zune and the market place seem to be misreading the capacity of my phone. If I try to install any more apps from the market place it states that I've reached the storage limit and when I connect to my PC It states that I'm using 1.37GB with 0MB spare. If I go to the about screen in settings it shows total storage as 1.69GB with 327.98MB spare, anyone any ideas what's causing this?
Okay... I know there are cheaper deals in the USA but for the cost and return policy I will buy this locally. This unit is going on sale starting May 6.

Question is though, is the Sandisk 16GB Micro SD Class 2 card a working card for this phone ? There are so many postings but hard to pin point if this is a good working card with no reboots or data loss.
Appreciate quick responses as I want to pick this up before they sell out.
Thanks !
generally after the samsung focus nodo update the phone is not showing the symtoms of earlier sd card problems. Sandisk should be fine, class 2 or 4 seems to be the best class right now for this phone; even though microsoft orignally said class 4 or higher. You should check out the sd card thread sticky
Card has been purchased... I've done 3 finger salute and connected to laptop. Seems there was an update from Microsoft, so let that run and update.
Now syncing the card to all my wonderful music. I've loaded 4GB so far. Another 12GB to go. Will report sometime tomorrow if any reboots or data loss occurs.
Oh my... I guess I had more music and pictures than I thought ! Anyway the total storage is 22GB and available memory is sitting at 1016MB. Essentially I have maxed out the storage. So far no lag, no blips, no reboots, and no data loss. It's only been about 90 minutes though ! Will leave it over night and then use it more. Play music, read emails, make phone calls and then see what happens.
Any othe suggestions for testing this out?
Seems to be working perfectly. If anyone has suggestions to testing the load and trying to get the card to foul up please make suggestions. Future Shop has a good return policy but it needs to be returned with in 14 days of purchase. So far though the card works !
Can you check the speed (using WP Bench)? If it's good, I think I'll buy one of these.
So, bought the card - only the one that showed up was a class 4 16gb San Disk (as opposed to class 2 as listed in the order). So far has been performing fine, although I have had the occasional slowdown / lock-up (which may be a function of the phone trying to find music on the card). WP Bench score for storage access has ranged between 2.8 and 5.6...

Class 4 for me too!
Has anyone else been experiencing this? It takes an hour for my to transfer 1 GB of data. The same folder took only a few minutes to transfer between my Droid and X2.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, or maybe it's a hardware problem?
16GB TF/Prime 1.4
Same problem here (Prime 1.4).
Does someone know how to have a faster usb connection (1h for 2Gb)
Thxxx

I just did a quick transfer speed test by copying a 286MB file
Copying to the internal storage took 25 seconds (transfer rate : 11.4MBps)
Copying to a class 2 , 8GB microSD card took 45 seconds (transfer rate : 6.35MBps)
At those speeds a 1Gig should not take much longer than 1min 30sec to the internal memory and 2min 41sec to a Class 2 micro SD card (which is like the slowest speed you can expect from a micro SD card these days), unless you are moving thousands of tiny files, in which case it will take longer, but even then I doubt it should take 1hr.
P.S: 16GB TF running stock 3.1, connected to a Windows 7 32bit laptop
was your dock battery low when you tried to do this? could explain why it took a while.
Or don't use the dock at all? I never tried transferring anything while docked, didn't seem like it would've worked, but I guess it does work.
I still don't have my dock :-(
I tried to remove AVG and made a reset but still same problem.
I will try tomorrow to install the Prime 1.5 maybe this will help
Thx
Or you can transfer via wifi. Lightning fast =)

Perhaps, if the folder had video files, you selected the option to transcode the video.

I only get 750KBps when copying files over wi-fi using ES File explorer; and I don't think you can expect anything above 1.0~2MBps when transferring from one wireless device to another wireless device on a wireless G network. That is still more than 10x slower than USB. What method are you using ??
Are you copying only one single big file or many smaller files..the speed normally drops significantly when copying huge amount of smaller files..
either way, one hour for 1Gb seems absurdly long....have you tried the stock rom?
Hey all,
Didn't really know where to put a question like this, but since I got my S7 Edge as of two or so weeks ago, I've had an annoying time trying to transfer files over through Android File Manager, Smart Switch, and even a VM running Windows 7 on my Mac. My current OS on my Mac is Yosemite 10.10.5, my S7 Edge has the latest update installed, and yet I still have major difficulty transferring even more than one or two files at once before AFM locks up and claims my device is not connected/is locked, Smart Switch locking up completely until I disconnect and reconnect my S7 Edge, and the VM can't even recognize the phone being connected to it.
I have tried AFM with and without Smart Switch installed at the same time, and as for the VM, I've installed all the latest drivers.
I'm at a complete loss as to where to go next, as while this is so far the only problem I've had with this otherwise great phone, it's absurdly annoying when it comes time to transfer new music and shows.
One thing I have experienced in the past is that my previous Samsung devices never played nice with SanDisk memory cards, and the current MicroSD is a SanDisk 128 GB, but the transfer problem is also a big issue even when copying to the phone's onboard storage.
Thanks for any help or resources in advance!
