So I have really nothing on my One X, a few apps but I just uploaded about 5 gigs of music, a measly 740 songs and I'm left with only slightly over 3 gigs of storage left.
I've tried Google Music for the past few days and maybe its my location, but on my usual jog every morning it seems to not load all the time, and its also a battery drain vs playing from the stock player with music on the device.
I like this phone, but to only have this low amount of storage left is a deal breaker for me.
Why not try dropbox or google drive? I got an extra 28gb this morning on db just fooling around

Won't the streaming be a killer on battery life and the data plan? This is the main reason I haven't embraced cloud storage.. besides the fact that I'm paranoid about putting my data just "out there" like that.
I have the unlimited data plan, and rarely worry about that... But heck I'm not sure ...

Because he likely doesn't have an unlimited data plan. He likely wants the easy solution of having immediate access to all of his media right on his phone.
I have it worse. I used to carry a few movies on my phone with me and watch them while I work in the office. Now I bring my movies in on a wifi drive and copy them to my phone 1 by 1 to watch them. Annoying workaround but it gets me by.
This "cloud" BS doesn't work. I don't understand how people are expected to use 28GB of "cloud" storage and NOT go over their data cap. Especially with 1.5 GB movies.
I stream from work and during my workouts, and the hit to battery isn't all that bad to be honest. I get home with 50% or so remaining without fail.

To add insult to injury, you can only disconnect 4 devices from google music in a year. What's that mean? Well when we get an unlocked bootloader and decide to load roms, I hope you aren't loading them often because each new rom is a new tethered device to your google music account. Womp womppppp
No, I do have Unlimited Data on ATT, that's not the issue.
The issue is a great phone crippled with no storage, I'd rather play music from my phone, load some movies to watch when on an airplane or something, but with the One X, you just can't do it, well yes you can but you have to become a media manager. Why?
I had the International One X when it came out, plenty of room with 32 gigs, but the phone was too buggy for me. I live in LTE, but I'd rather have 32 gigs and no LTE then 16 and LTE.
Looks like the GS3 will be my next phone, good thing I have 45 days to return this to Best Buy.
I stream Google music at the gym daily. It can eat up your data. But battery is just fine...

From what ive read, google music's bitrate makes it's streaming eat 4x more data per song than pandora.

I wonder if that is with Pandora set to "normal" (versus "high") audio quality, which is default. That bitrate sounds awful, and I can't stand it.
Just loaded my music on the One X and went for my usual run.
One hour of music from the player with the battery at 99% when I started, came back and it was only at 97%.
When I used Google Music, it would be around 87%.
For all the people complaining about movies, check out an app called plex. I have a 5 terrabyte system with windows that i have plex server installed on. Its a really easy set up and allows access to all your media on the server. Only issue is that you have to have the pc on all the time. You can have access to thousands of movies or tv shows that you have downloaded. Here are some screen shots of the app. Both my friend and I have servers and you can connect to multiple and stream to each others movies. The server is free, you just have to pay for the android app. (i am not associated with plex lol).
USB host mode getting enabled would solve lots of issues. There's a 64 GB flash drive on woot today for 30 bucks.
All of this is true, but the bottom line is why only 16 gigs of storage.

Not a clue. I would wish we could have had removable storage but i assume because they wanted the unibody form factor and the slimness of it, that there wasnt room. However, i am not sure why they changed from 32gb to 16gb. The memory cant be all that different in size.

I used a proxy and signed up. But dont see the point, since the free account only lets you sync music from your PC. To listen to the streaming service, you need the 10 dollar per month package.

After all, $ 10 is too high a price. Available only 15 million songs. You can listen anywhere, anytime and can listen many different devices (mobile, pc etc.) I would rather buy the $ 10 album containing 12 tracks... No. no no .. I should have to think first what to say.
American network operators the pricing and quality is ****ed up. But many believe it is a lesser evil than $ 10 per month.

Known bug in Spotify on Honeycomb. Solution is easy but harsh: never make playlists offline available.
As long as you stream everything - you're okay. If you make a playlist offline available, it'll sync the first time and after that it'll keep saying it's disconnected.
And it's definitely worth the 10 bucks, I've been paying it for months and months (in Europe) and it saved me a ****load of money or time. If I had to buy all the music I've listened from Spotify, I'd had to sell my TF to pay the bills. Maybe even twice...
If your musictaste is pretty "conservative", not always looking for new stuff and getting addicted to it - it might indeed not be worth the money.
It's totaly worth it to have a paid subscription, i pay for premium
I use spotify all the time (at home, party's, cell phone etc)
The majority of the music i listen to is on spotify and i don't listen to comecial radio music

I still can't get it work. Every time I choose a song, I get an info bar with no info and an OK box to click. It reads my TF on my network, but it won't stream any music. I had no online playlists (I deleted everything just to make sure).

I have a 2GB data plan. With the HOX only having 16 gb storage I'm guessing I'll be streaming a lot more audio via either pandora or spotify. If I were to stream say 1 hour of audio a day, every day along with the other stuff we normally use our data plans for, will I go over? Should I just bump up to 3 GB?

I stream at work using Pandora probably 2.5 hrs a day, 5 days a week. I use around 1.5 GB of data a month. I'm on wifi when home. I would honestly recommend you bump it up to 3GB just be on the safe side.
Thank you, that's helpful.
Otherwise, plan your downloads/streaming for when you have WiFi ;-)

So I have had the One X since the day after it was released. I have Unlimited ATT Data and today, what 18 or so days after I bought it I hit 2 GB of data. The reason is I am using Google Music to stream, I use it everyday for about an hour on my jog. Sure I do a little surfing and searching, but really so far nothing else.
So I'd say about 3 gb of data a month will be my usage because of the low amount of storage I have to use Google Music.

That's not a lot. I was using more than 200mb every day but I had to switch to WiFi since I'm on the 2gb plan.

I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but you can have Play(Google) Music cache music locally so you don't have to burn up data (and battery life) streaming it. Might not be a big deal in this particular situation, but just FYI.
I think it is odd that pandora uses less data then google music does.

I do have Google Music set to cache, but that is only for buffering. I think what you mean is to download music and play the songs offline. I have around 800 songs thats about 4 gb of data. I added all the songs and the end result was I only had 2.9 gb of total storage left on the phone.
This is almost a deal breaker for me, I've had the One X for a few weeks and in fact I had the International version before which of course has 32 gb of storage, which IMO is just the right amount. The ATT version is to low and no expandable sd cards make it worse.
I have pre ordered a Galaxy S 3 and will mess with them both to see which one works best for me. I also have my iPhone 4S to fall back on, but the screen size makes it almost not doable anymore.
Netflix is the bane of my data plan. I'm sure AT&T hates me by now.
I noticed the same thing. I dont pull down nearly as much data streaming 128k streams from tunein as I do from google music (not set to high quality).

AT&T unlimited data plan users have up to 5gb in a month before their data speed would be reduced. At 3gb per month, you should be fine.
I have used 3.1 gb in 22 days.
does anyone know the transfer bitrate of the music from google music, both on the high quality and lower quality streams? i stream almost exclusively over wi-fi at my office, so i haven't really followed my GM data usage too closely.
How do people survive with such little data..?
Next Bill Cycle: 06/06/2012
Data (MB): 6658.7 of Unlimited (Deactivated)
Data (MB): 35956.7 of Unlimited
The deactivated one was from May first until the 8th when I picked up a One X. Used a whole gig just getting it setup that night.

Google's support documents state upto 320kbps. So that'd be high quality, normal would probably be 192kpbs.

Thanks, I thought I had seen 320kbps at some point, but i missed it on a quick search. I half expected a www.lmgtfy.com response to my question. Normal quality was really what i was wondering...sounded like at least 192kbps, since 128 probably would push out such his data rates. Speaking of which, how the hell are you going through so much data?! that's impressive, i must say.
I hit 3 GB within the first week, and 4GB a week later. Mostly tethering and app experimentation (one went haywire and burned through a ton of data).
I got throttled a few days after that, but AT&T seems to have lifted the throttling today. Not sure why but not complaining.
AT&T throttles back speeds of those who still have unlimited plans...I upgraded data w the vivid but wonder how much they reduce speeds by..I stream music through Rhapsody at 192 kbps and my data hits at least 3 gb per month..usually 4 but it's only another ten bucks...just hate that there is no true unlimited plan left..well I guess sprint does but their coverage is horrible..

Does anyone have an issue where their One x eats data by an insane amount in a short period?When I first got my One X I went thru 1GB of data in like 2 days. I tethered for like an hour and the rest was just basic usage from my X itself. I've done a master reset since then and loaded a few my apps and usage seemed to have slowed but it still seems to use data more than normal. I noticed "Android OS" was using a lot of data. A lot of it was when I watched YouTube clips. Has anyone had this issue?
Edit: So I turned off wifi for a moment to browse on just the mobile network. The few pages I clicked on and scrolled thru for the past 5 or 6 minutes resulted in 4mb of data used with just the browser. Does that seem normal to anyone?

You "upgraded" to tiered data? That's far from an upgrade.. The unlt'd plans you get atleast 5GB(for lte owners) unthrottled, usually more, with a few hours/days unthrottled after. Even throttled you can do 500kbps.

I do have auto sync turned on. But I turned off auto backup (just now, I have tried turning off auto backup beforei wiped but it didn't change anything ). The weird thing is its not like usage happens out of no where its when I actually access data apps like the browser or FB. I can literally see my data usage go up from the last time I checked it a few minutes ago on the usage meter.
Anyone know how much data a typical 1:30 movie would use? I lost my unlimited upgrading to this phone now I'm always worried that I'm going to go over my limit. At most I only plan on watching 2-3 a month.

Yep they make you buy a data plan, charge an arm and a leg for it and then your so limited your basically choked off. I'm on wifi far more than 4g. They should offer a plan with no data.

That data sounds about right if it were on the computer. But I'm unsure if Netflix on Android adjusts for the smaller resolution, I'd assume it does. So the latter numbers would sound about right.

pls, someone explain how you guys who are using nexus 4 and going to get nexus 5, how you guys can possible use your phone without sdcard?
I just cannot image a using without sdcard which give me much extra space and freedom to change it and make backups.
sdcard is not just extra space, it is separate disc in your phone.
Also, the speed of micro sdcard such as "Kingston microSDHC/SDXC Card Class 10 64gb" never been issue for me on sgs4 i9505.
And for me it is terrible idea to use any external storage, while I can have everything inside my phone, all the time.
Here some talking about much more terrible idea, using cloud or stream services instead micro sdcard, this insane for me.
I cannot understand why Google is doing it, and why you folks follow this rule.

Some people don't need a lot of space. I much prefer larger internal storage over SD card any day. Though i need 64 for all my music which is an issue with nexus devices. For many people 16 is enough though. 1 backup, decent amount of apps, little to no music, and all is well. Some people just have different needs. SD storage is slow and limited anyways. I wish it was completely rid of and larger internal storage options were offered for all devices. Google has been trying to get rid of SD card storage for quite a while.

Stop hoping for SD Card storage, hope for return of USB On-The-Go is better!
In USB Flash drive, you can store so much HD Porn and tons of music and many more (impossible to super application there) using USB OTG!
But for me, 32GB is enough for everything

I don't store music or movies on my phone so it has never been an issue.
At least on my SGS3 using a sdcard is pain because it always disconnects from the device.

never had this problem on sgs3 and nowadays on sgs4
This thread needed to be deleted, there has been at least 10,00 threads like this in the past. Nexus never had sdcard after the Nexus One. It never will get sdcard again in one million year, stop asking. Use cloud storage or USB OTG or get the 32gb version or buy a different phone. I wish it was against the forum rule to make these threads.

pls, someone explain how you guys who are using nexus 4 and going to get nexus 5, how you guys can possible use your phone without sdcard?
I just cannot image a using without sdcard which give me much extra space and freedom to change it and make backups.
sdcard is not just extra space, it is separate disc in your phone.
Also, the speed of micro sdcard such as "Kingston microSDHC/SDXC Card Class 10 64gb" never been issue for me on sgs4 i9505.
And for me it is terrible idea to use any external storage, while I can have everything inside my phone, all the time.
Here some talking about much more terrible idea, using cloud or stream services instead micro sdcard, this insane for me.
I cannot understand why Google is doing it, and why you folks follow this rule.

You're right.
You deserve to treat yourself better.
If you don't like it get another phone.
Get a google play edition phone.
You have plenty of options nowdays.
How do people live without SD storage? Easy. Steam music, use cloud storage.

It's called cloud storage...

32gb is a good amount of storage on a phone. Need to make backups USB-OTG all the way for that and use cloud storage for allot of things. anything under 32gb for me is not enough.
cloud service is a crap to keep files to which you need access most of the time, I do not want pay for unlimited mobile internet which not every where available and have the same speed.
cloud service can be used just maybe for backup and sync, and of course for the files which you wanna share.
On my phone 16gb internal storage and 32gb micro sdcard and this amount very close to be full. And not going to manage my files just because google want it.
Then a NEXUS device is not for you. Use a phone that does support micro sdcard storage. I just hope, for your sake, that other device manufacturers don't follow suit and get rid of that old technology. :good:

I disagree. Cloud is great..there is no way I'm getting my 500GB music collection on my phone while still using it as a phone, without the cloud. I use Subsonic, Google Music, and Pogoplug Cloud, as well as the usual Drive/Dropbox/Keep solutions for everyday junk. 16 or 32 becomes insiginificant once you move your mind into the cloud, either personal (subsonic,Pogo) or service provider (Google,Dropbox,etc.).

Thats it. I think google push cloud services a bit forward with every single release (Android, ChromeOS) and thats good in my eyes.
More users + more devices = increasing demand for faster mobile internet speed.
Only some mobile operators need to follow - their main purpose is still the same - pull from our pockets as much money as possible.
Just think what happend with CromeOS, great stuff but 70% people around the glob can't use OS for normal operations.
Again problem, slow internet connections. Google was sure in year 2012 world will be more hi-speed covered with optical internet.
I don't know if u know for project FLAG (Fiber-Optic Link Around the Globe). Almost all world countrys are covered with optical
internet the main fu*king problem are our stupid internet providers. They still selling old technology.
Don't believe cloud storage will be a plausible alternative until mobile phone providers stop being money hungry power giants. On at&t its 10 bucks for a single gigabyte of data I believe. At least their 3gb plan is $30. That's insanely expensive if you plan on relying on cloud services to keep your media. I listen to music 2+ hours a day. I would be spending at least $100 on data overcharges a month. There is no way I plan on making a switch to cloud storage for at least the next 3-4 years. Even then I doubt mobile data charges will have gone down, at all. Maybe $7.50 a gigabyte but even that is way too much.
