well i have a ATT skyrocket GS2 but when i hook up my device USB mode its only showing 11.2gbs of internal storage space is this correct ?

That's like expecting your new 500gb hdd to actually read 500gb when you plug it in.

I think it's partitioned off. There is probably a 2-3GB partition somewhere. But, you are correct, 16GB it should be around 14 Gigabytes disk space.

[Q] does G2x have built in 16gb storage?

I think the spec says it has built in 16gb storage but I see my G2x shows only 5.77gb. Am I missing something?
i thought the specs said 8gb internal with expandable SD card

There is 8GB of storage built in. It is partitioned to allow space for the Android OS, with the remaining memory for storage. The device memory itself can be expanded by a 32GB micro sdhc memory card, but the phone does not come shipped with one, so you would have to purchase it.
Yea 8gb internal and supports up to a 32gb using an expandable SD card slot.

[Q] Difference Between 16GB and 32GB Versions?

Hello,
I have a dumb question.
What is the difference between the 16 and 32 GB versions (besides the obvious)?
Is this the amount of internal storage on the device? Or is it the maximum total amount? I thought I read somewhere that the number represents the amount you can upgrade to, not the amount onboard?
Thanks!
J
Just that one has 16gb internal storage and one has 32gb.

Thank you!!!
So both of them also use an external flash memory card? What is the maximum size (Mb) the external card can be?

32 GB is about the largest micro SD you can find. So that is the limit of what you can ad to the tablet itself. But the dock has a SD card so you can add another 32+ that way. And the dock has 2 USB ports where you could plug in a hard drive for TBs more storage.

wow so if you get the 32 GB version you can have:
32 Gb (built-in) + 32 Gb (tablet) + 32 Gb (dock) = 96 Gb
the next thing i will be getting is an external solid state drive for the USB ports
I have a 32 gig class 10 patriot in my 32 gigger Nothing in my dock yet!
Anyone know if it's possible to upgrade the internal storage? 16GB is probably enough for me, but I was just wondering. With a bit of luck it would just require opening up the case and replacing an internal SD card. Has anyone opened one up yet?

32GB (built-in) + 32GB (microSD) + 64GB (SD) = 128GB
But remember, you can only save apps to the internal memory.

Way more than that. You always connect external hard drives to the USB ports! Terabytes of stored for your TF!
One thing to note is that the 32gb models seem to have less quality issues than the original batch of 16gb units. But that is probably just due to 2nd and 3rd run build improvements. My 32gb doesn't seem to have many of the physical issues that many people are talking about.
What about 64gb sdhc

I would be shocked if its like the Win Phones where its just a micro SD card in there. Likely its soldered to the board because its going to be high speed NAND flash as its used for the OS and Application.
That is one of the reasons, I would bet, that the 32gb is $100 more than a $32 gig card you can get on Newegg. Its not just a Kingston memory card, its likely NAND on die. Now, whether or not you need that much high speed memory is up to you.
That is why I opted for the 16gig, I will probably only have a couple of gigs of apps, but the 4 gigs of music I have on it and then most of the pictures/video etc I would put on the SD card for easy swapping out of content.
If it really is the case that the 32gig is having fewer issues than the 16 and my 16 has a defect then I would upgrade just for that purpose.

Sure it is - any over 4GB SD is SDHC.
But I guess SDXC is being meant?

I just got a 16GB from the latest Best Buy run. They must be improved too, because I notice none of the minor issues some reviews complained about early on, like chassis flex.
About sixteen.
And then the world changed:
http://gizmodo.com/5805482/the-worlds-first-64gb-microsd
Now it's:
32GB (internal) + 64GB microSD + 64GB SDHC= 160GB Total
P.S. I have a 16GB and have none of the issues so far (knocks on wood).
I'm pretty sure that 64GB microSD wouldn't work in the trsnsformer as its SDXC not SDHC. That and probabaly won't see it in stores too soon.

[Q] Help! GT7+ transfer data speed via USB very slow

My GT7+ took more than 1 hour to transfer 1GB data of Steet Fighter!
What is your data transfer speed?
You guys have any ideas?

As far as I can tell it's due to the MTP protocol. It transfers at a slower rate than the USB Mass Storage mode. Currently I can't seem to find a way to enable Mass Storage mode on the Tab though.
All HC tablets using MTP are that slow. This is not a 7+ specific issue.

The solution would be Mass Storage mode, the problem is Samsung doesn't seem to have enabled it.

Not just HC tablets. My Atrix is slow as sin when using MTP and same with my SGSII. For speed I always resort to Mass Storage Mode.
Even with MTP, 1 hour for 1GB isn't normal. Guessing the OP hit "yes" when MTP asked if he wanted to convert it.
My tip? Fast SDHC card + SD connection kit, ignore the internal card for things you don't need on there forever (like video)
what about wifi transfer using estrongs or something like that
i juz got a 7.0 plus and my file transfers are blazing fast... 2.2gb in less than 8 mins..
I dont have kies installed or any other software, i just connect it to my computer using usb and it comes up as a portable media player GT-P6210.
When i open the folder it shows all the available folders and i just drag and drop files with ease...

That is by no means fast. 2048MB in 480 seconds means just slightly above 4MB/s. That's basically what you have to do minimum to qualify as a class 4 SD card, way less than half what's needed to qualify as a class 10, and 1/7-1/4 of what you'll actually be getting if you have a fast USB drive/card connected directly as the top-of-the-line stuff does 20-30MB/s on large files.

For MTP protocol, that's actually pretty fast. My Core 2 Duo computer that I have at work copies over MTP at about 1-2MB/s, if I need stuff on my device I stick with WiFi based transfers from my NAS or plug in my 32GB card to the computer.

Indeed it is, I was just pointing out that it's very slow compared to transferring to a flash drive or card in a card reader with UMS

Slow file transfer when using mass storage mode

I am using SGS2 with Restruction ROM with Fluxi Kernel and transferring files to external SD (Samsung Class 10) through mass storage mode and it is extremely slow (less than 1MB/s even when large files). Took out the card and tested with card reader, it can write more than 20MB/s.

The speed is limited by weakest point in the system. Check USB cable, port and other end device, too.

Previously I got no problem with Gingerbread (CheckROM). Same port, same cable.
The reason I post here is I got less than 10 post. Hope to find answer here anyway...

Can GS6 Handle 1 TB External HDD?

I have used external hard drive before with my note 3 but it's only 150GB. Now with S6 having no expandable SD card, I'm thinking I'd keep an external hard drive handy. I know it supports USB OTG on the get go but can I it run 1 TB HDD without extra power source? I think this is better than buying a 64 GB model with the same price of 32 GB model and 1TB HDD.
or do you think I should go with the 64 GB model?

Did you have 1TB of storage on your previous phone with SD? If not, why do you need the hassle now? Why not get a MicroSD adapter that is a fewe $ and still use your MicroSD?
To naswer your wuestion - it will not handle a device with that much power draw.

Because my macbook storage is almost full so I find the need of using an external HDD. Do you have any idea what maximum storage GS6 can handle via USB OTG?

Hard to say, but I would first start with upgrading your Macbooks drive instead of looking at solutions like connecting a 1TB drive to a phone.
An extreme solution would be to get get proper cables and use a powerbank to power the drive and have it working on the phone, still.

It's not the size drive that's the issue, its the type of drive you connect. A flash drive is one thing, bit don't think about hooking up a 2.5" mechanical external hard drive. Even if it worked, your battery would die in no time.
Sent from my "bigger is smaller" LG G3
Let me break it down.
Note 3 USB OTG output current: 900mA
Note 2 USB OTG output current: 500mA
Note 4 USB OTG output current: 600mA
S4 USB OTG output current: 500mA
HTC m7 USB OTG output current: 300mA
HTC m8 USB OTG output current: 500mA
So, maybe, maybe not. Note 3 can run every drive I've tried except the power hungry 4TB Seagate Backup Plus Fast.
If you want to measure your drive and find out the current draw, just buy the inexpensive CHARGER Doctor.
Also, the S6 will probably have 600mA output, so it most likely can handle some drives, but you'll need to measure to be sure. I'll be testing an S6 soon to verify output current.
