I have a Droid A855. The main problem with it is keeps giving me low memory errors. Now the specs claim that it has 256Mb internal memory.
The Droid X says:
TI OMAP 1GHz processor with Dedicated GPU
8GB Internal memory for emails, texts, and apps
2 GB microSD card pre–installed on–device — up to 32GB microSD supported
Is this 8Gb the same memory that the 256Mb of the 855 is? Is there really that much of a jump? This is the one I'm interested in.
But, the Samsung Fascinate is on a 1 day sale for the same price as a refurb Droid X - $99. It says:
1GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird Processor
2GB Internal memory
16 GB microSD card pre–installed on–device — up to 32GB microSD supported
I am still leaning toward the Droid X even though a refurb. WWYD?

Droid X - 8 GB internal memory + you can put a 32GB SDcard in it = 40 GB is the maximum you can get.
Samsung Fascinate - 2GB internal memory + you can put a 32GB SDcard in it = 34GB
What is internal memory?
Internal memory is used to store data that is used by the system at startup and to run various types of programs such as the operating system. Typically, internal memory is contained on small microchips that are either attached or connected to the computer's/phone's motherboard. Memory can range from a couple of megabytes to several gigabytes. On an Android device the internal memory will be used by the operating system and applications. You can move some apps to the SD-card, but it's always nice to have lots of internal memory. I have an HTC Desire HD with 1,5GB internal memory and i have about 1GB free space left after using it for six month
Thank you. But what I'm after is how much memory the X offers for system processes. In other words, the A855 offers 256Mb, what does the X offer? I know it isn't the entire 8Gb, but some part of it.
I don't know. Someone with the X will have to give you the answer I recommend you ask in the general section in the Droid X forum.

One of my friends is going to buy a Droid X and Verizon is offering a 32GB MicroSD for $100 with the purchase of a Droid X. My friend already has a 16GB MicroSd and does not want to spend any more money. He offered to get me the 32GB MicroSD from Verizon if I gave him the money. Does anyone know what's the highest capacity MicroSD supported in the Captivate? Everywhere I read it says "up to 32GB" supported which I "assume" includes the integrated 16GB.
its 32gb. it what most of all new phones capacity. it means whooping 48gb that we can have in samsung captivate. now thats alot of memory.

Could you please point me to a link where I can verify this information. I hate to waste $100. 48GB sound great, but I want to be completely sure.
I dont think you can use a 32gb. Everywhere ive read it says 16gb max is what is supported.
I think because the internal memory is actually an SD card itself, and the max sdhc standard can handle is 32. So 16 internal and 16 microsd = 32 -> full

Look under "SD card and phone storage" and it clearly has an "internal SD card" as well as external
which is why i mentioned the above
pdadb.net says "microSD, microSDHC, TransFlash
Supports High Capacity (SD 2.0/HC) memory cards with capacity of up to 32GB"
they could be wrong though. id get a 16 just in case. the proce on the 32 is retarded high for now.
I have a 32GB SanDisk card in my Captivate.
I bought it yesterday from Verizon's website for $99 including free next day shipping.
The captivate fully supports the SDHC format, thus it supports adding cards up to 32 gigs. Should be the same for any SDHC compliant device. The only exception to this are a hand-full of devices that support 4gig and smaller SDHC cards via ugly hacks.
On a side note, it's redundant to say " supports SDHC up to 32 gigs", since there will never be a SDHC card >32 gigs, but that's advertising for you

I have a 32 gb card now, and the internal of 16. Both show up at their correct capacities, and when I fill them all the data is accessible.
Ah, it's too bad that ALL the prerelease materials state the maximum SD size as 16 GB. I would have purchased a 32 gig if I had known.

its 32gb
(too short )
All Galaxy S devices can support external SD cards up to 32gb, that is excluding the internal storage. I have a 32gb card in mine, which I will never ever fill up.
Samsung's site, FYI, currently specifies 32GB support for the microSD card slot:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-I897ZKAATT-features
If you got $200 to spare you can buy a 64gb sdxc card and see if it works. I personally don't need that much space, but i can use that much money
The only time it wasnt recommended to use a 32G was with a MiUi rom but
i think that issue is fixed anyway
SDXC in captivate
The temptation of 80gb on my phone was too great- I caved and bought a 64gb SDXC card from sandisk for 80 bucks. I dumped a few videos from my desktop onto the card to test it out, and got a damaged sd card message, prompting to format it. I clicked okay, forgetting that the ICS build I'm using formats internal SD instead of external SD. So that hurt.
Next I tried a nook color using CM7. Got the same damaged sd card, but it was able to format it. I got a reboot as it attempted to re-mount it following the format, but following the reboot, it was usable. It played video and showed up as 59.6GB or something close. This newly android-formatted card wouldn't work in when stuck back in the captivate, however. It's possible that it will work on a different rom- one that's able to format it itself, but after losing the internal SD, I'm going to hold off on messing around with an old GB rom.
I am currently running latest eaglesblood. and in my settings it shows that my internal storage is only cabable of holding 5.** gigs or so the specs say it holds 8
also memory is showed at 100 megs free of 352 megs again specs say i belive 512
What gives?
update
here is the mem infor exactly
(avail/total)
196mb/373
mnt storage
total space 5.44gb
available space 4.76gb
All phones are like that. It just sucks that LG decided to partition the 8gb internal storage into 2 sections(1.5gb for apps/games and 5gb for an internal sdcard) which makes no sense as most people buy a larger external sdcard for their music/movies wutever else. I myself have a 16gb Lexar class 6 sdcard and find the 5gb internal sdcard wasted space!
As for the ram, the android system uses a part of it to run on the phone and the rest is available as you just mentioned. Coming from the mt4g and it's 768mb ram there isn't much difference and the available extra ram was wasted so 512mb in the g2x is just fine IMO.

I have a Cherry Mobile Flare (a clone of India's Karbonn A9+ mobile phone). It's a very affordable smartphone with good specs. Priced at just Php 4,000 (roughly, 99 USD), it boasts the following specs:
ICS 4.0.4
1.2GHz Dual-core Snapdragon Processor
5MP Rear camera
1.3MP Front-camera
512MB RAM
4.0 Screen Size
4GB Internal Memory
MicroSD slot
Dual Sim (3G/GSM Only)
Wifi Direct
Gyroscope, etc...
My only problem with the said device is how it's partitioned. It gives 512MB for apps (/data). It can be adequate enough for some, and most would just use Apps2SD or something similar, but I'm looking for a way to re-partition it. I also own a Nook Color, and there was a CWM-flashable zip that we can use to partition it's internal memory. I hope there's also a way for me to do it on this phone.
Hello,
I have a tablet GOClever TAB T75 and I have a strange caracteristics and specifications about it.
Android OS 4.0.3/4GB flash memory/512MB RAM
Hardware is:
Memory: 29F32G08CBACA [Micron Technology - MT] - 1pc on motherboard
RAM: HYNIX H5TQ2G83CFR - 2 pcs on motherboard
Correct me if I am wrong.
Flash memory some internet pages reports that is 4GB some 8GB.
For RAM I go straight to manufactor web site it's 2GB DDR3 ram module and tablet motherboard have 2pcs.
So my question is why Android OS showing only 4GB Flash memory (I think this is ROM - correct me if I am wrong) and 368MB ram (usable) and 512MB (total RAM) where on motherboard are 2pcs of HYNIX memory 4GB RAM?
Any advice and explanation?
Thank you
anyone????
Well what is your question?
If u got the tablet sold to you as a 4 GB. That is the whole system and storage total. Usually partitioned into 3 or 4 partitions.
Not really sure what u are asking, them Chinese tablets are made by about 100 different companies. Ram isn't removable if that is what your thinking

I'm kind of confused.
The tablet is 4Gb of internal storage and 512Mb of RAM. There's really nothing more to be said. Android is only showing that because that's what is there. If you got scammed that's another issue - but if it was sold to you as 4Gb flash memory and 512Mb RAM then that is what you do have.
Like ronedogg said, the 4Gb is all the internal memory, including space for your ROM (software that makes the tablet run). That's all there is to report because that's all there is.
The RAM might be "2 pieces" of 254Mb RAM. It's not 2Gb - even if you have a copy of a tablet that's supposed to have 2Gb RAM you do not have that, you have 512Mb RAM. Nobody is putting 2 pieces of 4Gb RAM in Android tablets - you only see that in Windows tablets that have Intel processors and tend to be very expensive. Did you pay over $1000USD for this tablet ? I hope not. :silly:
Your RAM is probably 2 modules of 254Mb RAM, if it's even "2 pieces" at all. Generally when reporting RAM they will tell you total RAM, not some number that you multiply, anyway.
Hello,
Thank you for informations. I payed less then 80USD for tablet (used - not new).
Even that tablet have 512MB ram when it's on Android shown Total Mem.: 368,36MB ram (used for OS around 150MB) so Free ram that I can use is only around 200MB (on stock rom).
So that's I am confused why have 512MB of ram and usable only 200MB. Or it's just SW blocked???
In attachment are specs for module.
Thank you
BR
Well, what is the Ram that is being used going toward? The system can take more than 150Mb from what I've read.
I don't know what you have specs for, but I'd be willing to bet my firstborn that it's not what is in your device. You could open the tablet up to confirm it yourself, but if it was sold as 512 and reports 512, why do you think it would be otherwise?

Just unboxed mine, thought it was supposed to be a 32gb rom. Only shows 11gb free space, doh!
16GB, having only that much free is pretty standard sadly.

From what I understand the international dual SIM model will have 32GB on board, and no expandable storage option.
I stuck a 32GB SD card in mines and I am good to go. 10 class for $10.99 from SanDisk so no complaints over here.
IDOL 3 (4.7) 6039Y: Internal memory: 8 GB EMMC + 1.5 GB RAM. End user memory: 4 GB
IDOL 3 (5.5) 6045Y: Internal memory: 16 GB EMMC + 2 GB RAM. End user memory: 10 GB
Both - MicroSD (up to 128 GB)
Don't have info for the dual sim version.
yeah, it's pretty vanilla, actually.
Compared to, say, the Galaxy S5:
http://www.androidcentral.com/galaxy-s5-rom-bit-monster-taking-nearly-8gb-storage
And 16gb is more than enough with SD cards being so cheap now.
About 3 years ago, I went into the ocean w/ my phone in my pocket for ~45 minutes (like an idiot), and of course the phone was toast, but the data on the micro SD was unscathed; in fact, I'm still using that card.
That's normal. I would think people would realize this by now. With my Samsung Skyrocket I had 11GB free so it varies slightly depending on the size of the OS ROM. But who cares. I picked up a 128GB Micro SD for $70 on Amazon. Damn I have tons of space now.
What is end user memory on this phone.
