Got My New Atrix 2 today..

How can I put stuff on my internal flash drive? I can't seem to access it. I want to put my music or other things on it, I can only get into my external.

You can't access the internal memory.

I think that's something in the upcoming update... someone mentioned the partition tables not being set up properly. Not for sure though...

Go do a google search for motorola medialink I think it is called, this will allow you to sync your music and photos to your phone's internal storage.

As for your internal storage (get your terminology right!), it is ONLY used for app storage. You can't access it or store anything else there.

Don't be too hard on the newbies, it's an honest mistake.

Not being hard on him, just clarifying things. All mistakes are honest, otherwise they'd be called choices.

Wow that was kinda harsh, I am sure he did not mean to imply anything insulting.
We have just have had a rash of issues with newbies jumping in way over their head lately, and those of us that have been here helping out are starting to see a new pattern of the same stuff coming up over and over, and over again, without doing any research on their own. Hence the shortness of the replies lately, that we tend to give now, to a lot of things. Please just excuse us for that, it is not meant as a knock, just that we are a little frustrated with how frustrated people seem to get with things not being farther along for this phone than they are. Those of us, working in here, feel everyones pain, but we also are working hard to make this phone better.
However since you did just get the Atrix 2 you are technically a newbie in this forum, and that is not a slight or a nock, and I knew what you meant earlier about internal storage vs your sd card, and like I had stated medialink is the best choice, but however everyone is correct, that the internal 4GB is just for app storage, and a few other things that only the phone can access.
To be more successful, we all need to work together and not have fighting and so much back and forth, sometimes just let things roll off your back. We are just a frustrated as the rest of you here, about getting things we all want, and we are working towards that, including people like 916x10, remember we give our time freely to make this device better for everyone here, if you eliminate some of us, this phone will die a quick death with development.

I'm gonna take the high road on this one and let that ride...hopefully there won't be a next time

And its not difficult to search the ATRIX 2 forums there's not a huge number of topics and before doing anything for me atleast its common sense to read before doing anything to your device and even then its a your own discretion

It can still be called an internal flash drive, however, because it is flash memory. Unless you have a cool phone like me with a SATA drive in it.

Let me do a little research, the ability is in android to allow the fat32 partition,to be seen from usb. There is a link back to the sdcard fat32 partition, from /osh so I am sure there is way, give me a day or two and I will see what I can come up with.

Only 16Gb of 32Gb shown

I have an SGS3 on Verizon. It's the 32Gb model. I borked it (see thread here).
Got it JTAG'd back, but did it using backed up data from a 16Gb version of the phone. Now my phone only shows that I have 16Gb of storage available, rather than the 32Gb I know I have.
Does anyone know how I can kindly inform my SGS3 that it does, in actuality have 32Gb of storage?
-Andy

After a little thought, what I'm trying to figure out is how Android knows how much total storage the phone has on it's Internal SDCard? What tells it that a particular phone has 16Gb vs 32Gb? And how can I edit that?
I've tried formatting the "Phone" partition (right clicking in Windows Explorer), but that still left we with 16Gb listed as total space...

I heard that the galaxy s 3 on Sprint the storage was split into 2. Maybe the Verizon version they did the same thing. Split 32gb into 2 partitions. One internal the other external storage?

Thanks for the suggestion.
Then what would be the point of buying the 32Gb version out you could only access part of it? But that's nt time cases with mine. Before I borked it, it showed 32 Gb as it's capacity ...
Anyone have any ideas?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Have it replaced if you can (doubt it), 16.00 GB being reported by the OS isn't even accurate for a 16GB model... Only a portion of it is usable, and when Sammy is saying 16GB they mean 1000KB to a MB, when the OS reads it as 1024KB as a MB.... Manufacturers and any OS don't use the same measurement, it looks better on paper to say you're buying a 500GB hard drive, instead of 4hundred something...

Do you also have a sdcard in it cause I see that it shows an amount under the sd card portion. If you don't then that theory of the 32g being portioned may be the case for you

The file allocation table will give it X amount of bits per byte, depending on its format type, FAT32, exFAT, etc, decreasing usable size

Yes, I did, which was the info listed under the SD card part of that screenshot. I took it out (not that it should make a difference) and the internal stayed the same (16Gb).

How can I go in and hard format that internal SDCard? If I can do that, shouldn't it detect that the capacity is larger than 16Gb and adjust fire accordingly?

Have you tried ODIN back to stock? Did you perform the JTAG and possibly could use a 32gb full flash?

It's not being dishonest IMHO.. Your hardware seems to have failed despite what you did to your phone.. It's not uncommon for memory to fail, and judging by lack of reports, it seems your the only one with this problem..
I'm running a custom stock ROM and if any part of this phones hardware failed, you better believe I'm getting it replaced..

I don't think you're going to be able to solve that problem without additional JTAG with a 32gb full flash file... Not sure what equipment he is using, but back when I was working at the cell shop, I had a UST Pro, it would do full flash, which includes EVERYTHING... all portions of the NAND chip... stuff that isn't flashed with simple ODIN...
EDIT: The phone isn't dead, so it prob won't need JTAG, just the full flash with professional equipment... been a while since I was doing the stuff for a living...

Try putting more than 16 gigs of stuff on it. I have a feeling it will let you put 32 gigs on there still

[Q] N5 storage partitions?

Stupid question, I know, but since my micro sd slot on my note died, i have serious issues installing apps, and had to cut about two thirds of what i had installed.
The current partitioning of storage on my note looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
note (pun not intended) that "device storage" is where apps, and apps only get installed, and "USB storage" is everything else. app2sd was great, when I had a functioning sd slot, but not really an option now, since it doesn't recognize the usb storage partition as a card, even though it mounts at "sdcard0" :-/
Been looking to upgrade anyways, and since the n5 has a 32GB option (yay!), just looking for some confirmation on what the storage looks like. Hoping it's just one big section where everything gets put. Only having 2GB set aside is quite a pain :'(
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: oh, and before someone replies "but you have 200MB free", it seems to take about 10x the space of the app to update it. I don't know why, and since i'm planning to replace this soon, it really doesn't matter. The last few updates to chrome have all failed to install unless I ditch something small, update chrome, re-install what I ditched. Even restarting has ceased to work

It'll be one big partition. The beauty of no SD card.

My Nexus S has no SD Card butt only 1Go for apps ... hope it will be bigger on N5

See, this is what I'm looking to avoid. I don't wanna go from one bad situation to another. I know it hasn't got into a lot of hands yet, but if someone could post up a screen of the n5's storage like I did?

If it's the same as my Galaxy Nexus then there are no limits as to how you use your storage. Fill it up any way you like - all music, all apps whatever

On the 16Gb Model you get 12.55gb available.

Thanks, this is what I wanted to know!
I think the OP wants to know how much storage is the partition where you can install your apps. On my one x for example it's 2 GB. I hope N5 will not have more then 2 GB. In my country only the 16GB model is available so I'm more worried about the FAT partition. But that's 12,55GB if you are right. Would be great!

Yep! From what few images there are of the storage settings screen of the n4, and GrenW's post here it seems like the nexus phones are a "1 partition for everything" type setup
I might just buy one anyways. My note has been really starting to act up lately

The Nexus S still had a segregated partition because its architecture was originally designed for the launch of Android 2.3 which did not support single unified storage. From the GNex onwards, all the space on a Nexus device's data partition is shared between apps, app data and the "sdcard" folder.

[Q] 32 GB vs 16 GB

I was thinking about buying a N5 and was wondering if it would be worth the extra $50 to get the 32 GB version. Has anyone run into a problem with the 16 GB version not having enough storage? I don't have a crazy amount of apps, music or pictures on my current phone so i'm not sure that I would need 32 GB. Thanks!
P.S. I'm really excited to join this community and I can't wait to get my hands on this phone!

If you root and need to take backups, or if you ever install any games, You'll possibly find 16 isnt enough.
You dont get 16 anyway. You get 12 ish

Im rooted and made backups and have gots loads of space left out of my 16gb got loads of apps too

I don't have games on my Nexus 5, and I always have 3 TWRP backups.. still 8gb left :silly:

well, for just 50$ more i think it's ever worth to get double the storage. If you don't have it from the start, no problem but when you get the extra GBs and can load on it tons of photos, videos, music etc etc without have to thing :"that's too big" you will see the difference.

Also these days you can store all your pics and apps on the cloud and still access off your phone and save yourself $50

My own usage
I have 16Gb model and i have a lot of pics, music and videos on my Nexus 5. I still have 5-6Gb free space. Just a few example why 16Gb is enough:
Pictures -> Cloud
Music -> Spotify etc.. (you can always delete app data if spotify storage comes too big)
Videos/Movies -> USB OTG
I don't play games much, so i don't have games installed on my Nexus 5. I suggest you to save your $50, and use it for example USB OTG, good memory card and you're more than good to go. :victory:

Edit > Not that I post for "thanks" or even care about them but I did notice that OP only thanks those who suggest 16 GB is fine, ergo it is apparent his mind is already made up and only seeks validation that 16 GB is the version for him to go for,

I would go with 32gb I got a 16 GB and had to buy a meenova SD card reader to store my files and music

I'm down to 4GB remaining out of 26GB(32 model). I'd say $50 is a reasonable for the upgraded storage.

I have 16gb. I keep one nandroid, I stream music, have a lot of apps and have a lot of Zooper files with 6.6gb left over.

I would go for 32gb too. Pixtures can be big ( quality) so a quality picture will take more space. Then you never will have the folowing problem: I forgot to backup my pictures and when i'm at holiday and suddenly no memory left anymore... .
Also I think that the system will work great if half of memory is not used( like windows on a pc) but i'm not sure if this is the case for N5.
so if It was me , i would buy the 32gb, if i had the money for it.

Better safe than sorry. Its definitely worth it if you're into downloading media contents alot. On the other hand if you still wish to get 16GB version then make sure to get a micro USB card reader.

I chose 32GB(Actual 26.7GB) because I'm the kind of person who always stores music, videos, games, downloads for entertainment purposes.
I only connect the Internet when I'm at home or when I have mobile data subscription.
But if you have a Highspeed Mobile Internet, you can store everything in a cloud so 12GB can do.
Depends on how you use it.

Can't believe they don't offer more than 32GB on a device without an SD card. Seriously is it still 2012???what year is it,

I got the 16GB and spent the $50 in accessories (Case, Screen Protector, headphones...) since I was on a budget. Also it will all depend on your habits, but like many here have mention it is safer with the 32GB.

Question Missing 1gb of ram...maybe.

As the title states a gig of memory is missing from my S22 Ultra. Under Device Care it shows 12gb, but under memory in Developer Options it show 11. BTW I have a Tab S7 with 6gb and it shows 6gb under both. Any ideas?

Safe to say it is not missing there was a discussion few years back on exactly the same question

What's running services show in Developer options? It should add up... unless Android 12 has some more new lame tricks.

Don't these have a new kind of ram management? It doesn't apply to me so it's a passing curiosity at this point. You may be able to alter its settings. There are indications it doesn't work that well under heavy ram usage but I may be mistaken.
Either way I don't like changes like this... Gookill has always been a progressive mess that can't leave well enough alone. Invariably Google will keep "improving" a product until they break it.

This is apparently Samsung's fail... this may not work so well... you may want to play with the settings.
I have serious doubts the hardware architecture can effectively support the bandwidth for effective virtual memory vs pure ram memory.
One bottleneck later... the 3yo N10+ is whipping the S22U to a pulp once the ram fills up (see 2nd link).
Why not just slam 16gb of ram into this puppy instead Sammy? As much as a battery hog as it is already this would have had a negligible impact on power consumption. Sammy skimped on expandable storage capacity (cheap) and ram (not as cheap). No wonder Samsung doesn't like the term power user anymore or the actual power users themselves... it's cheaper not to cater to them. I guess... but if you don't rock it, somebody will
