There isn't any memorycard in this phone. It's an iNand flash chip.

What's more surprising is that you didn't do your homework before you bought the phone.
You're probably one of the only one's with this phone who has a problem with the lack of mem slot. The other 99.9% of us were fully aware of this, and didn't care, as I don't see how I could fill up all 16gb, given that there are cloud music services and what-not nowadays.

How does internal memory sucks?
I mean, the SD Card feature is really nice to have and silly not to include it. But it was not included because there wasn't enough room for it with NFC and all of that.
It sucks that we don't have sdcards but we can live without it. Am I saying future phones shouldnt feature it anymore? No. I think it should definitely stay. But can we live without them? Sure.
my biggest complaint about lack of sdcard is all the people who refused to get this phone due to it saying no sdcard slot is stupid they would never buy a phone that has "locked" storage... and then pull out their ipod...

It's even funnier when people criticize the phone (way back when it first came out) and was like without a sd card, you cant flash ROMs. That's what makes me laugh so hard. If they made the iNAND to be 32GB instead of 16GB I bet it would of made more consumers happy
The whole no sdcard is a misconception because they think the phone itself doesn't have storage.

Classic! Although I filled an sd with 16g already all it took was many 720 p recordings on the epic camcorder, 4 movies (hangover, pulp fiction, kat williams pimp chronicles, and lord of war) plus half my music collection. Oh and about 15 diff nandroids which can get pretty big (that's what she said). It really was pointless keeping all that on the as but I did because I could

Ok i think 16gb is enough... although it does fill up really quickly..
hey guys
Picked up a 32 Gb micro SD card from CEX made by these guys. Supposedly a class 10 card, with transfer speeds of approximately 1Mb, yes tats right ladies and gents.
1 MB!!!!!
Surely this isnt right, do you think ive been had and it might be a fake? Or do you think i have formatted it wrong?
Its sounds like a fake card.

I heard that those cards don't hold up to its full capacity. Try filling the card up.

Also how did you format the card?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
via windows, what worries me is the total capacity of the card SHOULD NOT be 30.7 , it should be something along the lines of 27.9 GB?
wow! thats the new card that everyones talking about. thats the one that has a free alien with it right?

Then you probably did fromat it the right way, I never trusted that brand. My 32gb micro sd card has 29.7gb available. Btw my card is a Sandisk.

is that the total capacity ? or free space? could i be wrong and it is supposed to hold 30.7 GB?

Bad times!
I have had so many negative experiences with micro sd cards, but since i brought my PNY 16 gig all has been fine.
Sucks when crap like you mention happens.
Yeah, if you bought it online, get a refund. Sucks
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
sounds like a fake, I don't trust unknown cards anymore... memory reliability is very important to me, try to get a refund if you can!
good news is i bought from CEX which is a hardware store and they only had one in stock, i trust CEX with my heart as they are awesome, and i dont think they would have knowingly done this and sold me it, they explained today when i took it back that they were sorry.
I said it was fine and it happens, but they said they couldnt do anything till they had fully tested it, so i said not to worry and they gave me a microSD adaptor to see if it could make any difference and sadly it didnt... ,
I will take it back and let them test it and ill tell them to load lots of data on it and see where it goes xd , thats what happened to me
So i fight on
These memorette microsd are pure garbage. Just google them, you'll see a load of people with problems.
Stick with the legit makers, don't skimp on your data storage.
On every ROM I have used, it addresses the internal storage as either "/sdcard", or "/sdcard0". Would it be possible to replace the internal SD card with an aftermarket 32GB card? Assuming I got the phone dis-assembled, would it just be a plug-and-play operation, or would I need to actually soldier on a new chip to the motherboard?

They're asking if it's possible to replace the internal card with a larger one, not add one.
As a side note: this should have beem asked in the Q&A section.

Ive never taken an infuse apart...but i have with my htc vivd...and i can tell you this: the internal memory is not a micro sd...its some kind of flash memory chip...
So you would have to find out what kind of chip it is...then find a compatible larger chip, desolder the old chip and then solder the new chip

assuming that all goes well and the soldering job is perfect, will the firmware read or handle the new larger capacity?

Hello,
I just wanted to say hi! I currently have a HTC EVO for sprint and was going to buy the N4....but after the N4 going out of stock in less than 20 minutes in the US today, I have decided to get the SG3 for verizon this weekend. I can't wait to buy and root! Looking forward to the SG3 and the great dev community at XDA!
Welcome! We have some great stuff going on, and JellyBean is leaking out!
Thanks! and I am looking forward to JB for sure!

I honestly don't see why everyone has such a problem with no SD card slot on phones. You really need to carry so much info with you in your pocket?
That's what I have a computer for. And dropbox/Google drive.
I wish more phone makers would move away from slots and removable batteries. The phones would be more sleek and have more room for other features

I agree 100%.
I was immediately interested in this phone until I saw these two items.
I could probably live with the limited storage, but I will NEVER buy a phone with a non-removeable battery.

I can understand that, but I've actually already filled up my 32gb gs3. Even still 16gb isn't bad and I personally don't care too much about a non removable battery. However, the dna's battery sounds relatively small for the high spec guts it has plus that 1080 lcd.
That's also not to mention how bleak the prospect of development seems. Not to bash it, but the gs3 still has some pros

I'm already suffering the issues of low memory with my 16GB of space. Downloaded Need for Speed Most Wanted and that took a large chunk of space. already have other games that are taking up 7GB of space alone. then god forbid if i want to download some lossless songs from Spotify. thats almost 400MB an album. I can't put that on the SD card, unless i'm missing something in the way spotify saves music.
So Yes. I do need to carry that much info on my phone.

In a word, yes. All of my music is FLAC encoded; my 32GB S3 is totally full, and the 32GB MicroSD I have in it has about 3GB left, and that's just from about 50-100 albums. Honestly, I'd love a 128GB MicroSD right now... plus where I am 3G is unusable (40KB/s down D: ) and thus streaming makes absolutely no sense for me. No SD card slot makes any phone a no-buy for me.

Its not 16gb its really
11gb useable storage.
I just cant live with that.
GOOGLE and LG did the same thing with the Nexus 4
Conspiracy time: why put so little storage?
Maybe to force people to use PAY cloud based storage like Drive and backup assistant.
Dont forget the data charges store and access those GB of cloud data.
Games nowdays can be over a gig and I have 6gb+ of music. Not everyone wants to use the cloud to stream music and movies. Not only does it kill your battery but if you are in a bad area for signal you are SOTL. I also always have some movies on my phone for my 3 year old when we go out to dinner it keeps her calm. I have a 32gb gs3 and a 64gb card I don't have to worry about space on my phone.

exactly what i was thinking!
I should have added this: I wish phone makers would move away from SD card slots, however, give higher internal storage options.
Like I said before, I personally have no use for large storage space because I have my laptop for that. Plus my car has a built in hard drive for music and that's really the only time I listen to music. I can see how other users fill up fast, though. 128GB GS4, anyone? Lol

If the internal memory of a android smartphone is full (like 1 gb or less free of 16gb) the phone is slowed down?
Same as for a computer, if the HDD is full it will be slower yes.

No idea really, but 1,5gig or so will be more than enough I guess.

Buy a external memory, 16GB or 32GB its perfect
Just move your photos, movies, musics and some apps to the SD Card, and you'll have a smoother device

If you really doubt how much space you are going to need. You could cancel your order and place another one for the 32gb one. Believe me paying the extra price is worth it.
