[Q] Internal Storage amount differs from other phone - T-Mobile LG G2x

I just got my refurbished phone today, the internal storage after a format is only 5.22GB the phone I've had said it was 5.43GB total why does this one have less?

Either there is something taking up space that can be deleted on the internal storage, extra bloatware could be there or LG just made a mistake. Either way 200mb isnt bad

At least your refurb didn't come like mine....its got more light leaking through then the ozone layer. But yeah in your case its most likely an LG screw up they fail in all sense of quality control.

You had a g2x before or are you comparing this to a different phone. If it's the same phone are you using the exact same rom? Otherwise it could be just different memory vendors and different processes. That could be the reason if your comparing the same phone or not

Lol yeah I guess it's good the screen bleeding on this refurb isn't too bad but it does have a handful of burnt out pixels which annoy me, I was comparing the one I got today with the one I'm sending back, both on stock 2.3.3 when I format the internal memory the one I'm sending back has always had 5.43GB total, replacement has 5.21GB total, (lost a little more space when I wiped it again lol.)

Sucks when crap like you mention happens.

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.

Samsung 32gb Class 10 $35!

As the title says, Fry's Electronics has a Samsung 32gb class 10 micro sdhc card for $35 right now!
I don't know how long they'll have 'em for so I suggest you head to your local Fry's asap if you're interested in picking one up. Maybe call in advanced to see if they're in stock.

On some tests i see that Tmobile One S has inferior battery life than the international one.
That's due to the bloatware they put on it. Rooting fixes that though.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
No disrespect--just curious
Why would you be "new to the One S" and now asking if you should get something else and wondering about issues. If you mean you don't have it yet then there are many threads and posts on the forum already. And as far as I can say, it is perfect if you are OK with no SD Card and 9.3gb available internal memory--I am. Some complain on Multitasking--I have no issues. Although, all that is individual needs and opinions--and is covered extensively in various threads--
Highly recommend starting to read the General and Q&A sections for a wealth of info--
Whatever your currrent status is with the phone--enjoy it if you got it--and you will enjoy it, if you buy it--
Ken
I love the phone only thing I've noticed is multitasking, and signal. With regards to multitasking what happens is let's say you're web browsing or playing a game whatever then you do something else like check xda app. When you go back a lot of times instead of those apps continuing where they left off from it has to start up back again. It actually does it for xda app also. With the signal cell tower signal I just get a lot of fluctuations between bars dropping and coming back.

I flashed Trickdroid and Axiom S and wifi calling still not usable. I have turrible reception in parts of my house.
I wonder if the crappy wifi calling quality has its root in an buggy radio, if another ROM is also suffering from it? Anyhow, that is really the only "defect" I can find with this model. Otherwise, it's good! I wish it would have a removable SD card, but I recall reading somewhere in the forums that it is possible to mount external drives and such on this phone, but you need a USB Y cable (since the phone can't power the external device), or at least that's what I remember. One might also need a ROM to use the phone as a USB host. The possibility to do this makes me a little less upset over having just 16 GB of memory (or on TMob US only 10GB because of all the junk it comes with).
GS3 FTW!
Earlier today I received a notification that said I needed to get a newer sim for WiFi calling. I'll stop by the T-Mobile store tomorrow(today).

CLN 32GB GS3 has only 12GB of total space?

I recently received a CLN GS3 as a replacement phone for my Galaxy Nexus. They agreed to send me a 32GB model. I received it and under the battery on the sticker it does indeed say "WHITE 32GB". So then why would there be only 11.95GB total available? Do I need to format it or something? Has anyone experienced anything like this?
Thanks,
A confused GS3 owner

Yeah I was hoping not to have to send it back since I've heard some bad things and gotten some pretty horrible CLN devices as replacements before. This one doesn't have any issues other that the storage size and it gets really hot.
Anyway, what's this pit file?

I have read in the rezound forums of people receiving 16gig versions that were marked as 32 and were suppose to be 32. You will probably need to send it back.
Yup its 16 gb version,send it back for replacement...
You got a free GS3. Don't be picky. Plus, my friend is on replacement #8 so you roll the dice big time asking for a new one.

I'm on my 4th replacement and I think they might have finally got it right this time but if they told him they were going to send him the 32gb version (which would match the storage size of his Nexus) then they should def be sending him the right one... I've heard of several people that have got to choose a new phone but they sure didn't offer me that when I went through about a million Nexus's... LOL I admit that I am picky when it comes to replacement phones but when they get paid every month and I pay an "out of contract" price for a new phone than they should be sending me a replacement that does not have scratches all over it... I guess it all depends on who you talk to... :fingers-crossed:
He can get a 32GB microSD for like $20 bucks. Getting into a replacement loop is not worth the risk lol.
Yeah I was considering it, the only other real problem with it is that it gets super hot with even light use.
Do any of yours do that?

So you think I should try for another replacement then? I don't think it's supposed to be this hot.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Run a cpu monitor app to see how hot it actually is. Hot to one person might not be hot to someone else. If you get some solid info we could probably give you a better idea of what you should do.
When is it hot? All the time or only when you are playing hardcore games? Running hot is not a good thing to have but some replacements could be much worse. Obviously you can get another one but if it isn't really that hot it might not be worth the risk/annoyance of going through more replacements.

Con and myself both coming from the rezound anything up to somewhere around 130F has become normal for me.
An example of where it depends on the person is with the new iPad. People were complaining about it getting to 110F with is a perfectly normal temp to me.
It really comes down to what you are used too, as con said. My rezound would hit 150 when really stressing it. My GSIII hasn't gotten that hot yet.

Like uncomfortable as it in like just warms your hand well or like it is actually like causing a burn? I agree with nosympathy. The Rez was a warm phone. If you were really hammering the 4G it would get pretty warm.
edit: I keep my phone in an otterbox so mine might as well be alot warmer than I think it is. The phone has to make alot of heat for it to go all the way through the otterbox.
Well it's weird because with experience from every phone I've had before this and iPhones and such, I wouldn't expect any noticeable heat. And then the Qualcomm S4 is supposed to be the coolest running processor, yet this phone is much hotter than any Galaxy Nexus I had.

Hello dudes, I wanna say that I LOVE my phone, but in the same I think it's time for an upgrade so I am "hunting" for a new phone, and I have no clue what to get! I want an upgraded inspire lol...hehe Inspire 2nd gen but...it is not possible. So I am asking u guys: What should I get!?

Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda app-developers app
There is a thread for this very issue. My question would be what about the Inspire do you think needs to upgraded? Faster processor, bigger screen, better camera?
For my next device, I want a faster processor, more ram, more storage, a front facing camera and a bigger screen without giving up anything that the Inspire provides. I haven't found it yet. I like the sexy heavy duty construction, this phone makes Samsungs feel like toys. The HOX has a higher end feel than the Sammies, but has no sd slot. Not interested in iOS or Windows. I have high hopes for the next round of Nexus devices but have to wait until there is more than just rumor to know if that's where I go next.
It's going to be about what you need, want and can afford. Without know more about that, I cannot make a recommendation.
Now I'm in a Pickle
