how Much free space for apps is in the phone?

How much free space is in the phone for apps?

/data is 1.5GB(ish)

Yeah, this is great coming from the Nexus One. I had to move all my apps that could to the SD card and still only had 30 MB free (and had to delete the app cache frequently to keep even that much available). I've installed all my apps on the G2x now, none to SD, and still have 1.2 GB left!

How does the display compare to the N1?

The G2x display is substantially brighter -- no problem seeing it outdoors -- and crisper. I'm not a display connoisseur, and the N1 display was fine with me, but the G2x is definitely a noticeble (and appreciated) step up.

Coming from a Nexus One user, this is probably the best phone out, it has EVERYTHING.
Most other phones has there pros and cons like the Nexus S has both camera sides but no SD card and the myTouch 4G has low internal memory but this phone has EVERYTHING and is BETTER than the others

I also came from a Nexus One and I've been impressed, but I was talked into putting a screen protector on and I know this is dulling the display.
I second the relief of having the relatively large amount of space available for apps. I'd moved everything possible to the SD on my Nexus One and kept bumping into local storage issues when getting under 25MB free.
Hope I don't have to go back to that phone, but I'm keeping it around for at least another 29 days.

[Q] Vodafone stock issues/Should i buy

Hello all,
Been looking at this phone for a while, want an upgrade my desire as
it just lags bit much more then i like and battery not as good.
My question is:
What is the vodafone stock levels like? Where is the best place to buy i.e. shop , online , phones 4 u.
Ive been looking forums and seen people saying online have been having stock issues , so was just curious?
On a side note , has anyone upgrade from desire/similar and can
say its worth the upgrade? I worked out it only going to cost me around £100 to
upgrade which I'm happy to pay - but is it worth it? (After i sell the phone and cancel my current contract etc..)
Also , how much internal memory has the desire got left to use on first boot?
Not seen a deffinate answer yet? I've heard around 1gb?
Any plus/minus is worth knowing to help my decide?
Thanks

I've heard it's a great phone, with few issues.
But I've heard from some Desire users and DHD users that it's not much of an upgrade, in that you could pass it off as a "Desire-PRO." The feel will be pretty much the same, just with a better camera and touch screen buttons at the bottom. I've also heard that Sense 3 is not that much of a big step up. (the homescreen has a different animation, though)
In my opinion, from a Desire, the only thing your really upgrading to is the new lock screen, speed improvements and more storage.
(There's more RAM, but you get left with 197MB actually available for apps to actually use. On my Desire, I get 155MB left available for apps)
Of course if you a HTC fan, and that's what your looking for, then by all means it's a great phone, after all the Desire was pretty amazing.
If you fancy a change, you could look at the Atrix or GSII (or one of the optimus phones)
Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but I don't actually have a Sensation, but have been intensively reading the forums for the last month or so. (I'm in the process of deciding what to upgrade as well)

If the QHD screen is not the killer feature for you, you can quite easily run Sense 3.0 on the DHD, as many people are doing already.

I agree. qHD is a "failed" technology. It's pretty damn good, but it's an "inbetween technology." It'll be around for 4-6 months and then we're going to have ultra-high-resolutions in the market, which will simply triumph all other displays.

Thanks for that useful stuff!
im seriously thinking now. I think i would love the bigger screen size and quality ,
im agains the samsung simple for the feel of it, i hate the galaxy s , as i class the feel of the phone as one of the most important (as doesnt matter how good a phone is, if you hate the feel in your hand then not very good)
Im confused about the quote, you mention ram at the start then say only
197mb free for apps,
do you mean there only 197mb internal memory spare for apps?
If thats true that is a big minus!

No, by 197mb RAM i mean that, that's all you have for apps to use - RAM is not storage. RAM is Random Access Memory. Basically the more RAM available, the more things the phone will be able to do WITHOUT lagging up and getting slow.
In the beginning i was referring to 1GB of space of internal storage to store all of your apps.

Cheers for that -
Heard any issue with stock? ideally i want to walk into a shop on Friday and pick one up, might ring first just in case

Hi Phil,
I got mine yesterday from Phones4U, they had no stock problems as far as I know.
It has around 600Mb+ free for app installations (plus the 8Gb SD card of course). As previously mentioned, there is about 200Mb RAM free on boot too.
Only lag I've had today has been when updating the Vodafone settings (data plan stuff) which needed a reboot, but I'm guessing it was just a glitch with one of the apps using the connection at the time, as otherwise, its been as fluid as a, erm, fluid thing.
Battery: pretty much constant web, market and facebook chat usage on 3G, plus a few 3 or so minute calls = down to 12% battery by about 2pm (unplugged 7am)

rp-x1 - Does your Phones4U Sensation have Vodafone branding or is it running Generic Europe firmware?

Thanks useful stuff coming from someone who brought it !
And yer the screen and speed are my biggest wants . 600 mb is plenty so that sorted that problem!
Im edging towards it closer and closer! Specially as my desire battery seems to be dieing , i was one first to get one before the release date so had it 15 odd months and battery life getting worse and worse.

Also thinking of upgrade from Desire to Sensation but worried about losing the optical joystick (or whatever it is called). I seem to use it a lot for close up fiddly movements of the cursor. Does new software cope without it? Do any new phones still have the hardware?

I was worried the same untill i played with my boss's desire s (without the trackpad)
HTC/android has some new little arrow buttons you can use to be more accurate which is why the trackpad has been removed on all new phones.
Takes a while to get used to it but it made me happy not getting a trackpad

Hi, it has Vodafone branding, but can only see the Vodafone logo on boot and a 360 app in the list. Otherwise it 'looks' largely untouched

Is this a good phone to buy?

Long story short, I hard bricked my Evo 3D because I flashed the boot image to the wrong partition by not properly editing the updater-script when trying to port Jellybean (very developer NOOB move even though I'm not one by a long shot). So I'm thinking about buying one on Amazon to tie me over until my upgrade next year, because right now, my parents' only option (until I get the money) is to let me use a Blackberry, its torture (-_-)... I've read up on this and I am thoroughly impressed with the specs given it was released in 2010, plus it has ICS Officially. So I just have a handful of questions!
1. How is the Developer scene here? Is it still very active?
2. How good are the 3G speeds on this (I'm not getting 4G)
3. How is battery life
4. Is the phone easily breakable (this determines if I buy a case or not upon my ordering)
5. Can I still have me an awesome gaming experience? I am the Asphalt 6 and Shadowgun type of guy, so gaming is a must.
6. How quickly can someone fill up that 512MB space? and has someone made script that moves the WHOLE app to an external SD or repartitioned the space to give 1GB space?
I'll be sure to add more questions should they come up...
Now I have read that this has no SD card slot, and this would have been a problem. But as of recently, I have become a cloud kid. My Music is on Google Play Music, I have a couple of Movies and TV Shows on my SD Card but I can put those on my box cloud storage, that means that I can use all 16 GB for Game caches and the few movies and shows I frequently watch.
I just want to know your opinion, and the pros and cons of the phone, alongside the questions I asked. Thanks in advance!

Developer scene is still pretty solid. Expect an additional boost in a few weeks when Jelly Bean arrives. 3G speeds and reception should be decent so long as you have a decent provider, it is more dependent on them than on the phone. Battery life is mediocre, though you can pull off 4 hours of screen time a day with a little bit of effort (and compromise). It is generally a pretty stubborn phone. It won't break straight off the bat, but being plastic it will tend to scratch easily from rough surfaces. The screen can take a fair bit of abuse so don't be scared about the lack of "gorilla glass" branding, plus it's curved which is both great to touch and means it's less prone to scratched glass. I've found a case to be good due to the phone being slippery, but have since decided to use it without one. If you intend to root the phone i'm sure the gaming experience will be a good one, and likely even more so with jellybean - though there are certain games that won't even install (some tegra and tablet based games i think, i don't game that much on the phone so don't take my word on this).
As for storage, you have 16GB in the phone classified as "sdcard". It is built in and non-replaceable, with no external sdcard slot. It is partitioned primarily into /system, /data and /sdcard. /system holds the android operating system and is plenty big enough even for development purposes. /data is approximately 1GB and holds the data for apps only, so you have 1GB worth of apps which you can keep installed on the phone. The /sdcard partition is around 15GB and formatted as FAT32, so you can throw all of your music, photos, videos and sd2ext (built in, not a seperate app) apps here, so any larger games would be thrown onto the sdcard if you choose so, generally giving plenty of room. The only drawback for me, personally, is the lack of room for music - but you seem to have yourself sorted there.
And as i said above, if you really want to get every benefit from this phone it should be unlocked and rooted. It loves being free. Otherwise it's just a Galaxy S.

And my decision was solidified with the acquisition of jellybean. I can get a gnex experience for the most part without having to shell out so much money. I just need a gaming device (I'm going to buy chainfire for the coupe of tegra games I want) and an entertainment hub. I will buy a case asap, probably a ballistic case, an some other stuff, thank you so much

One more thing to point out though, if you end up getting the 4G version (the only CDMA version, which i think is what Sprint uses) it may take longer to get JB and I can't comment on CDMA networks 3G. It will be approximately on par with most other phones running on the same network, though.

The Nexus range is the first to get the Jelly Bean update, so it's certain that Google is paying extra attention to it.
As a friend of mine (also owning a Nexus S) pointed out, the development activity is one of the best out there.
In terms of performance, I was happy with it in 99% of time, you can't pretend the same performance as a quad core phone but overclocking the phone at a safe 1200mhz makes it significantly faster.
All in all, it is a very good phone for the price you pay.
Good luck and let us know if you decided getting the phone.

I am aware of Sprint and their inability to push updates properly, so it's expected. I will be rooted and running a slim ICS Rom anyway
, so I can just install JB after they get the update it in rooted Rom style.

I got a little excited yesterday and decided to do research on some other phones that could be possible contenders, but this phone takes home the crown. My parents said that because I broke the phone, I cover the expenses. So I did the math.
If I get a galaxy nexus now:
I have to buy out my contract ($100), and then buy the phone ($150) = $250
If I buy a galaxy S III now:
I have to buy out the contract (same) and buy the phone ($200) = $300
if I buy this phone:
But it from Amazon ($150) and transfer my number (free) = $150
The numbers say it all. I will get this phone . Plus, I want a nexus 7, so I need to save as much money as I can. I will wait until next year to get my upgrade to the gnex

[Q] Due For Phone Upgrade - Want This One

I'm due for a phone upgrade. Right now I got the LG Optimus-T on T-Mobile. I'm not a huge fan of the phone, and plus the replacement timing couldn't have been more perfect; the LG is falling apart. I did some research, and I'm leaning towards getting the HTC One S as a replacement. It's really lame that there is no SD card option.. I was reading that the phone comes with a certain amount of online storage space; how much?
I'm a musician and this phone supposedly excels in that department. I use the internal microphones on these phone to record guitar riffs and stuff; how is the built-in microphone? The internal mics are pretty hit or miss, so I'm hoping to hear good news about the one on this phone.
I'm not a fan of the large screen phones. This one seems to be one of the smaller, but it's still larger than my LG.
I've read that there is alot of bloat software that comes pre-loaded on the phone, and that it doesn't let you uninstall any of it. I guess the only way to get around that is to Root the phone. Since there is no SD card, it's important not to have any Apps that you don't use taking up space.
Thanks,
-Adam

Internal space is 16GB. Avaible actual space is around 14GB.
Since there is no SD card why not go for the Galaxy S3 instead?

The 4.3" screen on the One S is a bit too big for my liking; 4.8" sounds too large. I need to go to the store to check out the phone sizes in person.

4.3" - once you've got it you'll wonder what you did without it. The phone is not too big and build quality is excellent, you won't find the One S falling apart on you.
Trying your choices out in a shop is a good idea, especially how they work for you. The One S has the most responsive screen of any phone I've ever used and the unibody design makes it very strong, listen to any Samsung creak as it flexes in your hand
The fixed internal memory might be a problem for some but not for me, I had a 32Gb card in my last phone but found I hadn't used more than 4-5Gb of it. As a musician you may want more for mp3s but I'm betting you've already got a decent mp3 player for that.

Honestly it sounds like you'd be better off with the GSIII. Yeah, the screen size kinda sucks, but it's worth it. I'll admit the One S fits in the hand much more comfortably than the GSIII.
The lack of storage space kills me. 14Gb useable, 25Gb online via dropbox BUT only for a limited period, a year I think. Pretty pathetic that HTC would go as far as to cut out our primary storage option so Dropbox could monetize. Jerks.
This phone has been pushed for musicians and music lovers alike, but that has a lot to do with the Beats audio, which if you're unfamiliar with it, kinda really sucks. You said you play guitar? Beats is for people who play Macbooks. All you could be looking at is a stupidly oversampled bass tone and no improvements in sound anywhere else. I actually turn off Beats to prevent damage to my earbuds. As for the onboard mic, it's alright. A decent option for recording on the go. I haven't tried the GSIII's for comparison or anything. I've always used my iPod Touch for recording riffs and it's DRASTICALLY better than this phone, but, I sold it.
If you do decide to go with this phone, you're definitely going to want to unlock the bootloader and install a more lightweight ROM like CM10 or AOKP. It's a shame you're buying it now when that process has become more complex due to more bootloader restrictions. Another thing the GSIII has over this phone.

I agree with everything above but dropbox is for 2 years. The amount of time the average person uses a phone.

What I really love about the phone is the size and the build quality. And the consistency of that build quality, there are hardly any compromises made in this. You get solid performance, top notch sounds from both headset and speaker (yes beats is a gimmick, but it does show how much efford they made to get the best possible sound quality), a really solid build design which fits your hand perfectly, and a really awesome camera with a very intuitive ui. The sense ui is great as well, although its not everyone's flavor it really preforms well these days and adds allot of features over vanilla android (nexus phones). I don't know how well this phone can record sound though.
The GSIII is a great phone as well, but its plastic build always reminds me of Tupperware. Besides this, the sg3 suffers (still) from some software quirks which causes about 15% of the playstore apps to crash (on stock firmware).
I really love the design of this phone, everything is very well worked out and htc used all high end parts for this device. If I have to point a downside its the screen, although its contrast and colors are really great. But the resolution ain't that high, therefor some details are lost.
As for storage and bloat. Try to get a unlocked phone, most carriers pre instal some apps on top of sense which your can't remove. As for sense it self, you wont notice this so called bloat anymore in speed nor batterylife. As for the storage, i got 25gb dropbox storage for 2 years (this is my estimation for my phone untill i replace it aswell). You get 10gb internal storage, you wont get more on aosp roms as you cant repartition this internal storage.

I don't think that this One S phone is the right one for me. Beats audio sounds terrible and not having a SD card sound even more terrible. Someone recommended I wait a couple weeks for the Nexus 4 to come out; I haven't done any research on it yet. I'm going to the store today so I can figure out what dimensions I can deal with (i.e. screen size).
Thanks for all the help everyone,

The Nexus 4 doesn't have a SDcard-slot either, and only 16GB of storage. If it really is a dealbreaker, than the Nexus 4 won't be the device you're looking for either. However, considering the extreme low price tag ($350) on the Nexus 4 when bought via the Play Store, you might just want to take the lack of expandable storage for granted

What's the deal with this new trend of no SD card slot? Are they phasing it out in attempt cash in on the remote storage?

That's what it seems like. They're also locking the batteries in place, preventing people from upgrading to higher mAh batteries and causing them to have to replace the entire phone if their battery goes out. I don't think they realize those are two of the things a lot of the Android fanbase hates about Apple products.

[Q] Stock ROM bloatware size

On my Galaxy Tab S 16GB, when I go to Settings > Storage, the first line I see is about 4.12GB worth of System application stuff that won't shrink no matter how much bloatware I remove (the device is rooted).
This line does not appear at all on my Nexus 5, so I'm 100% sure this is bloatware.
So, 25% of my internal storage on the Tab S is unusable due to Samsung's bloatware crap.
I'd like to know how much space the bloatware would take up on a S6 of the 32GB variety, as it tends to change across devices.

On mine, Storage reports just over 6 Gig of system memory usage. But that will be the OS and some other shizzle too, I'm guessing?

6GB and no external storage? Ouch!!! No way I'm blowing my money on that just yet. Let's hope custom ROM makers pick this up.

Definitely need to be a bit more frugal than I'm used to with my old S3, where I had 16GB internal and 32GB external. But for me, music is my main killer, as I like higher quality encodings. Luckily though, I have a 10GB data allowance, and only listen to the same set of songs. Depends what you wanna do really.
I'm sure once custom stuff properly starts to roll, we'll have a better understanding of what's inside, and better use for it.
