I have a 32GBP pebble blue S3 and it isn't reporting it's free space correctly. It shows that I am barely using just over 1gb of space but only reports having 7.86 free. Not really sure what has caused this...... I haven't tried formatting the internal storage yet I was gonna do that tonight, but I was hoping someone might have another idea I could try.

Your screens look different than mine - I have a fully stock Galaxy S III 32GB in blue and it shows 32GB storage with over 20GB free.

I'm not sure of any other alternative solutions besides a PIT file, if a format doesn't fix it. I have the 32GB pit if you go that route.

I guessed a much - wonder if the space reporting symptom is possibly related to his OS customization at all.

What exactly does the pit file do. Just factory image it?

No.
Unless you have a hand so steady that your room for error is down to the nanometer.

you can move all the bloatware on the phone to an sdcard if you have a big sdcard and your rooted so it clears up memory but to expand it i would say no

I don't know why you'd need that level of precision. I do surface mount soldering by hand all the time, and BGA re-work with hot air or IR at work. It's no longer exclusively the stuff of billion dollar companies. The act of desoldering a chip and soldering another one in its place would probably be the easy part.
Why do you need more internal storage Rockerboy? Get an SDcard.
I do got an sd card 16gb but some appz cant go on sd card nd my internal memory is running out.

To do this you need two things.
1) A SOLDERING STATION, not just a soldering iron
2) god-like steady hands. <--- Might as well be a Marine Sniper
As far as I am concerned the memory controller (ala Northbridge.) should be able to recognize and compensate for a increase in memory as if it were a regular ram upgrade on a PC. As long as we aren't talking hundreds of gigs increase it should work fine, no?
This is not feasible for you to do on your own. If you have to ask, you can't do it. WTF do you have installed that takes up 500MB that can't be moved? there's only a handful of apps that can't be moved.
Wow, 500MB full? That seems unlikely if you've moved every app you can to your SD card and cleared your caches.
I haven't tried it on the Sidekick, but if you're running a custom ROM have you looked at using CustomMTD? That would free up some space (I use it on my G1)
CustomMTD is designed for HTC phones that use the MTD filesystem, rather than the RFS or EXT4 partitions used by our phones. That said, with some hacking/modding it would be possible to get something similar working on our phones, but I'm not the person to work on such a project.

even if they had the exact chipset I don't think that necessarily means the RIL code is the same. I doubt JB would work well on charge. We would have RAM issues more than likely. Like it feels like we do now (oh wait that's just facebook raping my phone for all it's worth).

didn't Samsung say TW for JB was supposed to be the least intrusive it's ever been? And they were worried whether 1gb of ram was enough for SG3 so they bumped it up to 2gb. I read it somewhere can't remember where .

I believe the biggest problem with ICS/JB on the Charge was the limited size of the /system partition, rather than RAM. AOSP JB uses 357MB of my system partition. I don't remember the partition size of the /system partition on the Charge, but I believe the size of the ROM would be a problem.

Well damn. I just looked at /system in Root explorer. Adding up the used and free space I get 333.12 mb of space.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
good point with the system limitations I forgot about that. Of course we will never know if the charge can handle even a stripped down JB unless JT decides to scratch ICS and start up with JB . Which is probably another thing that probably won't happen as enough time was spent on ICS. Also, not having Samsung's "Our proprietary code could contain our technology" (yup their actual words) RIL doesn't help. :crying:

Hi, I'm going to get a Galaxy Note 10.1 3G
I have a few question right here.
1. The sim card is normal one and not micro right?
2. What is the partition for the 16GB version? (For ROM)
3. Which colour looks better in your own opinion? Black or white?
4. What is the input voltage and ampere for charging?
5. Do you guys use screen protector? If yes, does it still feel responsive?
Thanks

Definitely normal size SIM
I have the 32gb one.. Not sure. Available memory is 26gb

Don't take any chances and get it warranty replaced ASAP. Even if it starts working again it might give you trouble down the line. The bottom line is that it shouldn't be doing what you say it is doing at all. This shows the importance of the warranty because stuff like this will happen no matter which phone you have, especially with early releases.
^+1. You've paid for an expensive phone, that's not acceptable, regardless. Just get it replaced anyways. Unless it's a standard issue everyone's experiencing, which I doubt.
Take a photo screen shot next time it happens as proof. You should be able to walk into ATT and get it replaced.

Is there an app similar to a program used for Windows computers called space sniffer?
It basically scans your storage volumes and graphically shows what's taking up the space and lets you delete UN-necessary stuff (if you dare!).

Yes it is called disk usage and if you have root you can view system files as well. Strangely there is well over 400mb of free space in the /system folder. Anybody know why?
