Hi,
i wonder how many apps or games we can store on it with only 1 GB internal as the rom is stored on this memory two ???
i think there will only be 700 mb left for apps !!!
does the phone ship with a version of app2sd onboard ??
or do we have to install it ??
how does it work ??
or do we have to uninstall games if we want to install new ones ???
or do i think wrong ?? is 700 mb totally enough ??
what do you think guys??
The Sensation has 4GB, of which 1GB or so is free for apps...same as the Desire HD and Desire Z. My Z has 1.05GB free for apps (/data), I have 98 apps installed and I'm using 38% of /data
How much more space for apps do you need?
i didnt know that
i thought it is like it is on my hd2 now which some of the internal is for the rom itself and the rest for apps
didnt know 1 GB is dedicated for apps !!!!
thats great ... thanks

hey guys.
i m user of htc desire hd. i got 580 mb of ram like everyone but due to installtion of app it remains to 250-280mb after killling apps with appkiller.
is there any way the developer has made to increase ram or transfer sd card memory to ram or use sd card as ram....?
kindly help me and tons of other desire hd users....!
this interests me as well,though i am pretty sure it's a bad idea to use the sd card as ram if you plan on using it for other purposes as well (i'd compare it to hyperboost with usbsticks on win7/vista,which sucks)
I would not recomend using appkillers, Not only they are usless you might harm your phone. Those aplication you are killing are working in background and using very little memory. You cant even tell how little. Use appkiller just to monitor how many ram a program is using.
I know it has 1GB Internal storage but how much of that is used by Android/Sense and how much is left for the user?
I have seen some reports that say that the Sensation actually has 4GB internal but only 1GB is user accessible. Does this mean that the other 3GB are used for OS/Sense and the user sees the full 1GB free on first boot?
TIA
Correct. The actual amount of available memory will be approximately 1.20 GB.

Thanks, I can live with 1GB as long as it's all for me and not also taken up by Android/Sense
What happens when the 1gb space runs out. Can I not install anymore apps? 1 gig is quite small if its only for apps.
I will be coming from an iPhone, so you can understand my memory question.
Thanks.

Even though the iPhone has 16/32 gigs of internal memory and all of that is technically available for apps/games, I HIGHLY doubt you are using anywhere close to a gig. Apps are VERY small, shockingly. Also most games which are the biggest apps you can get on Andriod install all the extras on your SD card and never make a footprint on the internal memory. Basically what I mean by this is, if you use 1 GIG for apps... you sir have WAY to many apps lol. I have about 70 apps (not including system apps) and I am only using 578MB of my 1.2 GB interal memory. Most of those apps I could easily uninstal as I seldom use them, but I dont feel like it lol
I have about 8 gigs worth of apps/games on my 16gb iPhone 4. Quite a few of the decent arcade games are about 400mb.
I dont think I have too many apps on my iPhone and I would of thought most iPhone users have much more than 1gb worth of apps on their phones. You can never have too many apps
Can you install more than 1gb of apps on the Samsung Galaxy S2's internal memory?
If so, then why cant we install to the memory card when we run out of internal memory?
Would make things so much easier. I'm hoping that this will not put me of the Sensation when I finally get my hands one one
All I can say to that is damn... that is a lot of freaking apps. I have what I feel is well more then enough games and apps on my phone and haven't hit a gig. I should ask my cousin how much he has on his iPhone. I could never have that much stuff on my phone. And yes you can install 90% of apps on your SD card as well so you should be fine if you do hit your 1 GIG. Mostly widgets are the only thing that can not be installed on the SD card
Well thats good to know. At least I wont be worrying so much about running out of memory.
I don't play with half of my apps regularly, but it's good to know that they are there if I get bored

Having an iPad and an iPod I can understand your thinking. But with android even the big apps store their data ie game sounds etc on the sd card and the initial app is really small. There is a thing called apps to sd where you can choose to have the apps on the sd. Also as long as the sensation gets rooted at some point correct me if I'm wrong but you should have no problem filling your sd card with whatever apps you want as google have opened the file size restrictions for apps for developers.
I recently bought a One S and one thing that has really been bugging me is the fact that I have much les storage than advertised. It says that you get 16 GB, but the actual amount is 12.14, and
2.21 of that is internal memory so I only actually have 9.93 to store my media. Why is this? Also it says it should have 1 GB of RAM but task manager says I only have 650 MB.

16 GB storage is partitioned and some RAM is reserved for the system and the GPU.

First off no hdd or flash memory is ever 100% as advertise because its been formatted to run. That's why there is only 12gb instead of 16gb. And that 2gb is the space dedicated to app installs. And the remainder is for you to do with however you please. Music, videos, extra game data (like many of gameloft games where you need to dl an extra 500 MB or so) or whatever you else you want to throw on other then an app install.
When you see an app in market and you download it and install it, it goes directly to that 2gb partition. If you download an app from a third party website it first goes to the 9gb space and once it installs it, it installs on the 2gb and all you need to do is delete the original dl .apk or keep it as a back up.

The above answers covered the answer so no need to reiterate but I just want to opine that you should consider yourself lucky, HTC doesn't rape you like Motorola does. On the Razr and Bionic, they are advertised as 16gb internal but only 8 is accessible to the user. They allot 4gb for apps and 4 for the OS. Bonus for them is obviously expandable memory.

System takes the resources
On many phones the preinstalled software takes a lot of space. I would recommend to install another ROM. I always do that to get rid of the software I don't need.
Ok. Thanks for the help. But what about the RAM? Shouldnt all of it be available?

As already said, some of the RAM is reserved for the system and GPU. For example my HD2 should have 576MB RAM but it only has 411/403 (depends on the ROM/Kernel I guess) because 128MB is for the GPU and the rest is used by the system. I never actually get that much free RAM (I never get more than 200MB free, and that's only on startup; normally I have around 130MB free) but at the same time it's never really been an issue.
Ok. I just though that everything was shown together because I always have 500 MB of RAM used even with all applications closed.
The phone will still reserve some RAM for itself, and that is not the best indicator of RAM that's actually in use.
HTC One S is a gorgeous piece of hardware. To bad they didn't add sd card support...

My iPad is advertised 16 gb but its 13. Is the answers here applicable to that?

System software installed on separate partition usually. So removing them will not add more space to the user data.

Yes
as everywhere ram is Noticed 512Mb but why we have only 390~ MB ??
is rest of mb ram use for system hack ? or 512Mb ram is just fake rumor ?
Use AOSP roms like CM10 and you will get you 512 MB RAM back. Stock ROM reserves RAM for itself.

Cm10 also have only 380~ MB Ram :'(
Remaining is used as video memory.
Sent from my ST27i
Remaining RAM is allocated for various system tasks which cannot be accessed by your applications and hence it doesn't even show as part of the available free RAM.
Think of your 100 GB HDD. Now partition it into 80 GB for yourself and 20 GB for someone else. You cant use the 20 GB. It's in use for something else already.
thanks to everyone Now i Understand
Hey everybody,
I am considering getting a Moto G, but i was wondering how the internal memory is partitioned, and how much of it is available for apps and cached music on the 16G version. I read somewhere that on the 8G version, the internal memory in split into 4G system memory for the OS, and 4G for user data. But i could not find the memory partitioning and size for the 16G version.
Anyone with a 16G version who can check this out for me?

I have 12.92 gigs of space before user apps etc. I'm still on the 4.3 ROM, haven't received the new 4.4.2 OTA upgrade.

I have 8GB version and no partitioning is used, the free memory is available for anything.

No partitioning on 16GB. You can use it for whatever you want.

Moto G 8Gb : Too few (APP) space..

My Moto G 8Gb is really fast...and perfect except for 2 (common) problems, the most important is the FREE APP Space :
1st - impossible install APP except fro Play Store : NO Amazon app, NO AppOfTheDay free app,..
2nd - 5Gb FREE that with a bit of music (2Gb) , Sygic Navi (600Mb) and something else means only 1 Gb for free space ,,,but the worst info is that,
if i check with DiskUsage it says i have :
APP : 1193 Mb --> when i go to install a new app (only 11 Mb) now it says "i have not enough free space" !! (
SYSTEM DATA : 614 Mb
Really too few space..
Got the same problem.
I have a 8gb and I'm thinking of changing it now for a 16gb.
I don't have any music or big game apps just will have a few average apps and photos. Do you think 8 will be enough?

8 Gb. is enough for me! Like you said, i just have few average apps, i am not the person who's taking a lot of photos and i don't have a lot of music neither, so i'm fine with 8 gb ñ_ñ
I'll might stick with it then.
I'm the sort that downloads a app and if I don't like I delete it. I can't see me having more than 20 + the pre installed apps at any one time. but maybe a good few photos.
For a few big apps , couple of songs and photos 8GB serves well

Not much memory,
The phone is awesome, I bought the 8gb version, I didn't know only like 5gb are available for normal use, I installed two games and that's it, no more available internal memory.
This phone is awesome in all ways, very customizable but not much memory...
