I was wondering about the internal storage space. The specs have showed that it contained 4GB of storage space for the rom, I wonder how much did it took up and how much remained in the settings when first booted up. Also does this phone also include App2Sd? Like other 2.2 Froyo operating systems?

i had 1.02gb before installing any apps. with all my apps i think i got 940mb left but u can do apps2sd if the app supports it lol some wont let me put it on my sd card but some will.
.93gb from the first time I got it..

i thought there would be more internal memory but i guess not, but still 940mb left is still more the enough for me. plus some big apps can be moved to the sd card.
Ohh okay thank you guys, then thats way better than than the slide, I only get 135mb when I first got it can barely fit all the apps I wanted lol this phone is sure to be mine soon

I went through all my apps installed and preloaded. Went under the application section and selected every app that was moveable. Went from under 1GB to about 1.2GB. Give or take a bit. Either way still a lot and will be TONS more once we figure out how to remove the bloatware crap. (amazon, twitter, demo video, games, yahoo, you get the point)

This is about what anyone should expect available from the factory. It is supposed to have 4GB of internal memory, but it appears that the MT4G has the same hidden NAND partition as the G1.
Fortunately enough, it does come with a class 4 8Gig card though

It's the same as the G2. Their story is they reserve space for Gingerbread, which is horse**** - no Android update is 2gb.

I just purchased the vibrant 4g, amazing phone, very fast, much faster than the mytouch 4g, I rooted it of course via"superoneclick. My main issue is what in the world is the issue with this phone showing practically no app storage space, only 256mb? And after 10 apps your down to 191mb ...
Also my phone in perticular shows no internal storage space ,unlike the original 3g vibrant shows sd space, internal space, and app space??
I called Samsung tech direct, and they are idiots as well as tmobile!
they say that it has only 256 mb app space, and hd no insight on why it shows no internal storage space, how does this justify the advertised 1gb ram /512mb
Im sure this is a let down to others as well, or do we have defective phones coming through? I have heard reports of others with 800mb app storage and some as low as 190mb right out of the box.

First of all, this should be in the general section, not the devo section. Second, it sounds like a defect. Some phones were reading incorrect memory. Take it back to the store you bought it from and have them swap it out.
Yes, i probably should have posted in the general section, but normally in the general section most smart phone users are just looking for general info such as specs etc..., i kind of figured the all the android guru"s would notice this question and understand it further more under android devo, than someone would in the general section!
Im sure their will be further discussion on the issue, as I have already noticed in a few other forums.
most users have ~500 megs available memory for apps stock. the phone only has 1gig internal memory vs the 3g vibrants 8 or 16 gigs. Because we have such a cluster F****ed stock rom right now I would imagine that is the reason why the average available is only 500 megs. Phones only been out like a week or two, give it time memory issues will be worked out.
As far as where this post goes, def in wrong section; needs a boot to the general disc forum as it post nothing about the development of the phone.

how's the memory issue will work out? get a new phone?
I talked to Samsung and apparently the "missing memory" is not an issue. I hope I made my self clear as possible since I think having less than 200mb available for apps should not be correct. Samsung told me that they are relying on us to download apps and then switching them to the SD card. Most popular apps at this moment cannot be moved from phone to SD card.

So were getting nowhere with this topic, all I have been suggesting is that are we dealing with some faulty t959v phones or is this 256mb app space "Right out of the box" normal?also what it is supposes to be? Along with no visible internal storage space.
I just wanted to.know... so if my phone is faulty i can get it replaced with the 12 days left I have.

You can move popular apps to SD card using Titanium backup. I have done this with all my apps and even the pre-installed apps/bloatware.

Your phone is not faulty, that is just the way it is. Exchanging it won't get you any additional internal memory. Our only hope is for some custom ROM. Through a custom ROM they can pull out alot of the bloat and free up some space.
Maybe this will help

I posted this in the general area, Where it belongs. If you haven't found it yet this should give you a better idea about the 4G phone. I did my own research.
If my understanding of the Galaxy S 4G is correct, you get a 1 GB internal memory (ROM) that's complemented by an included 16 GB microSD memory card, and you can upgrade to optional 32 GB microSD card. Both the 3G and 4G have an additional 512MB of system RAM. Once ClockworkMod is working properly and giving access to modify the internal ROM, the 1GB internal memory will be more than enough to allow the Galaxy S 4G to operate just as well as the current Vibrant 3G with upgraded ROMs. The only downside is the loss of the larger 16GB internal SD memory storage the Vibrant 3G has to 1GB on the 4G.
Using links2sd I have moved 100% of all user apps, 106 currently, to the SD. Even so, I have 104 mb available - phone is working great, no problems to report.
Even though an app can be moved to the sd card, some should not. I use Poweramp and smooth calender, both, have widgets I use, If moved to the sd card the widgets can't load, so they need to exist on the internal memory. After all apps I I have 113 megs left.

I just had a long talk with both T-MO and Samsung. I was told by Samsung that the SGS 4G still has 16GB of internal ROM, in addition to the 16GB external SD chip that it ships with. They were very tight lipped about why you cannot see the internal memory the way you can with the former 3G model. Just a thought, but can you say encryption? What they were saying doesn't jive with what I've read other places. If you want to look you can compare how they list the specs here in their FAQs.

I have continued to move apps that were on the SD from Apps2SD back to phone and then utilizing links2sd to move them back. My memory is now 154 mb available. I have removed move2sd and apps2sd so that anything I download in the future goes to internal memory and then I move it with links2sd. Amazing application!
Thay is weird the spec shows 16 gb but 270 for apps.

same issue with vibrant 3g - app space vanishing
I've had the same issue with a rooted vibrant 3g. I've removed dozens of programs - bloatware and apps - using Titanium.
The phone never recovers app space. When it drops to 145mb a warning pops up in the task bar at the top left of the screen. It's really annoying.
I ended up rebuilding the phone - and the same damn issue has returned. BTW, I didn't root the phone for fun, but to fix it. I'm ready for a new phone, but not Android.
You going to sell your phone? Pm me is you do. Since you don't like it, how about 100-150?

I got same problem, when I go to "storage settings" look like;
total space : unavailable
available space: unavailable
mount sd card : insert SD card
format sd card; faded
system storage
available space
414 mb
pls someone help me , I am going driving crazy...
even pc wouldnt regocnize internal storage neither..
To start with the basic troubleshooting - try wiping your caches and fixing permissions.
Reboot into CWM Recovery -
Go to [wipe cache partition] and select, then select [Yes -- Wipe Cache].
When it is finished - navigate down to [advanced], select [Wipe Dalvik Cache], then select [Yes -- Wipe Dalvik Cache].
When finished - navigate down to [Fix Permissions] and select.
When finished - navigate to [*****Go Back*****] and select [reboot system now].
After reboot - do not touch your phone for 10 minutes to give your caches time to properly rebuild.
Go in and check to see if your problem still persist. If it does - my recommendation is a Factory Reset. You can do a Factory Reset by going to [Settings], select [Privacy], then select [Factory data reset]. As it says when you do this on the [Factory data reset] selection - by doing this you will be erasing all data on your phone.
If these methods do not work let me know and I can help you try fixing the problem with some flashing methods.

Do not post the same question multiple places!
I had your other posts deleted.
Nothing worked, this is probably serious problem, after hitting "factory reset" it was stuck boot screen and saw this message says "E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl11 continuing bunch of like this, all of them starting with failed , cant ....

Ok so I have a samsung class 10 16Gb micro SD card in my sensation 4g, and as of the last 2 weeks I thought my phone was breaking and needed a new one because the old one kept restarting while trying to use navigation, pictures weren't loading in the gallery, and certain apps would just randomly force quit.
After 2 weeks of dealing with the crap and trying to fix it myself, went and got T-mobile to send me a warranty replacement, and In order to prep for my new device I decided to wipe my card and keep only pictures and music, because it was about 1.52 Gb from being full and I didn't know why the SD Maid app wasn't cleaning out the junk data from previous apps.
In the end with the newly formated memory card my phone works like new, so the warranty replacement is just going to help, because this one had a small screen scratch. Anyone noticing the similar symptoms to the stuff in bold should try to format their memory card, and do a factory reset, it might help
Thanks for the information! This is good to know. I also discovered something with the sd card, I also noticed similar symptoms on a cheap sd card I had got.then I had recently purchased a new one and it was a trusted brand and when I put it I'm my device the symptoms were gone! There is definitely something to this! Bottom line is best to buy a good trusted brand of sd card and not the bargain brand or it could cause trouble!

Thank you SO much, Guy. I've been having those exact same issues to a T. I was getting frustrated with having to find pictures via Astro, not gallery, and last night I got lost because Google Nav kept rebooting my phone. I was ready to huck it out the window. I will try this, and hope it helps!
Hi,
I bought to my wife Honor 6 last year, she loved it after many many crappy Samsung phones.
Everything went good, but now when there come newest android 6.0 update some time ago to phone it take a big part of internal memory!
I checked phone and there is really only social media things and some shopping apps. So not big games etc
Phone is non rooted so there is many Huawei own apps, and non used google apps of course taking storage for nothing...
So now there is all the time like 400mb free space, and apps don´t even can take updates because all the time text "Storage is getting full" shows up
There is not sd card, i was thinking to bought 32gb card but do it really helps because can i move stuff to it from internal memory, like apps?
Or is this just the time when universum is telling me "You need to buy new phone to your wife every year!"
Please help me, wife is mad as hell

Yes you can move apps to SD it will help...or you can downgrade to last update which was working good for you.
