yeah they may compress the whole system partition in next release, to give us an extra 5 GB usable, at the expense of speed and battery consumption

I wonder if they got rid of the S-pen stuff how much it wouls save. I cant imagine more the a few MBs but thats stuff we can't use so it is 'free' to remove for them.

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?

I somehow have only 2.44 gbs of internal memory free and I can't figure out how to free more up. I used my back up pro and did a factory reset and I can't figure out whats eating The memory . I don't have many apps. Any help would be awesome. Thanks

Well you may have plenty of photos and videos in there. Put in the external SD card and go to camera app options. There you should be able to choose where to save the snaps and videos.

Maybe it's leftover files from an HD game(Gameloft) they leave like 500mb or more of files behind when you uninstall them. you have to go in and delete the left over manually.

Apparently Gameloft games are so large in size they actually add weight to the phone. (500mg, joke explainer, etc.)

2.44??? Your lucky, I just checked my ''internal phone storage'' and i only have 1.28 GB

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:

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.

While not as good as having an SD slot - this could be of some help. I'm sure you wouldn't leave it hanging all the time and most likely have to remove it to charge if your not using wireless charging.

I promise I'm not griefing but rather curious.... I am extremely satisfied with the 100 gigs of storage you get with OneDrive when you buy the Note 5. Any of my large files I have put in the cloud or if they are videos I either upload them to social media or put them on my PC for editing and don't forsee an issue with the 32 gigs of onboard storage. I guess I'm just wondering what sort of data an SD device like this accounts for due to a lack of expandable memory.
