Hi guys I want to purchase Neo and the only thing stopping me is the low internal memory, Since Arc and Neo are built on the same platform, can you people guide if ther is a way on neo to install all apps on sd card keeping the internal memory free for the apps that cant be moved to SD like google maps (as far I know). I also believe that the mails & gtalk chats are stored on the phone so keeping the phone memory is imp specially when we have so less internal memory. Plz help me buy this the other option is galaxy s II but its too big to be kept comfortably in pocket.
Just wait for the xperia duo its supposed to rival the sgs2 if not a little better, the duo is supposed to have 1.4ghz dual core 1.5GB RAM and 4.5"screen 12 mp camera. I've got an xplay right now and I think this is the biggest waste of money ever(i just buy phones out right with no contract) I'll most likely buy one when they come out this fall

Since I Rooted my arc I've been able'd to keep my internal memory high and send most of my apps to SD card and even some system apps like lets golf
Try link to sd, it's more effective. Search the market and install, google 'partition sd card' and follow the instructions.

Hi there!
When I saw HTC's Incredible specs with 8GB internal memory it made me wonder if this will be the solution to the problem; just giving new phones more internal memory and not developing a software solution to store apps on the Memory Card? I got my Desire yesterday and with all the pre-installed stuff and my newly installed apps I've just 90MB left on my internal memory... Not much...
But apart from that it's the best smartphone I've ever seen!!! I love it!
Any thoughts about the future of app-storage anyone?
Thanks
Dean
They confirmed they are working on it to be in the next release.
This was confirmed by Andy Rubin at the Nexus One Press Conference and *I Think* again by Eric Tseng on the Engadget show.
The problem is if apps are stored on the SD card they can be pulled and redistributed. This is obviously a massive problem for piracy so they are working on some sort of anti-copy DRM type thing.
I was pondering this too. I was quite shocked when I noticed that I'm already down to 70MB free, and then even more so when I noticed you only get 148MB to play with in the first place! My friend's G1 currently has 220MB free. Why does the Desire have far less internal storage than a phone that's a good few years old?
Anyway, I've suddenly become quite wary of which apps I install based on their size, which is a shame. The sooner they allow SD card installs the better.
I will Tweet Eric Tseng and see if he replies
Re: Will storing apps to a Memory Card ever be possible on the Desire
I believe that rooted Rom with app2sd will soon be available, its just a matter of time.

Thanks guys for all your answers so far, makes me much more confident that the Desire is future proof for my 18 month contract )
And I really like this forum, 90mins after my post and already 4 useful replies, that's how it should be.
Thanks!
Right, i have quite a bit of stuff installed, but it's all on my memory card. Yet i keep getting Low Internal Memory warnings, i've only got 32mb left. I don't know what could be taking up so much memory on the phone, is there any way to tell?
Thanks
Install DiskUsage from the market. It'll show you how your storage memory is used.
Root it with Gingerbreak, then use Link2SD, free from the Market. It's basically Apps2SD+, and moves the entirety of the app to the SD.
I've got 60 apps installed and 200mb free.
Everything's dandy, even on a crappy class 6 SD card.
Took me 5 mins in total.
I've got a Neo, but same applies to Arc.
The Xperia Arc has 1GB internal storage, however only around 300MB is actually usable. Even if you move your apps to your SD card, it will still leave traces of it on the internal memory, and thus will take up space on both your SD card and the very limited internal storage of the Arc.
love the phone but internal memory issues
I want to upgrade from galaxy S to SII, but whats holding me back is this lucrative looking beast, design and screen is simply tempting. One worry. Compared to galaxy's gigantic internal memory this beast rests in denial. Like how to manage the android OS with so less internal memory, Os is demanding.
Is there any safe work around to manage the freekiing features and independencies of the OS. I am in love with android & some how I get apps that boosts my daily life, so I use a lot of apps. Plz guide me if I can look for owning Arc. Howz the battery life, will it live upto a day (1.5hrs of music, 15mins of video, 1.5-2 hrs of calling, 45 mins browsing & always online on native Gtalk and Nimbuzz). Plz reply soon I am out of droids now.
i think with the 2.3.3 update it should leave you with more than 50-60 % charge. It also depends on the data usage (Wifi or 3g or 2g). I easily do about 2.3 hours of music 3 mins of vids watching, atleast 30 mins of gaming(2d or 3d-hd), 1 hour of talking and checking mails via 3g and from morning 6 am to night 10 pm i usually have more than 60% charge left.
Then again it differs from day to day. User to User
Hmm.. If its true i m goin to wipe my phone, cause 3 hrs of gaming thats all i get

But What about internal memory
Friends you didn't comment on the internal memory handling. Are the apps lagging on day to day use. Plz let me know.

I did experience lagging. But then, I upgraded to 2.3.3 and then factory reset.
then it runs fast.
I think the RAM is too low compared to other smartphone. My Desire Z, it has only 800 MHz processor, but it has 768 RAM and 1 GB internal storage.
The more you install app, the more it consumes RAM. You should maintain free RAM at least 40% to avoid lagging. So, you have to move apps to SD, but the problem is that not all apps can be moved to SD.
Is there any way to move "all apps" to SD (not just few apps)?
Guide on buying xperia arc
For moving all the apps device needs rooting I am just scared that this doesn't ruin the basic quality features of the device like media playback like music clarity and video clarity.

This actually seems to be a problem in new Xperia's why nobody is replying.
Or maybe no one's replying because its been 5 hours
The internal memory on the Arc is low as it is... its prone to lags every once in a while when the memory gets so low that the phone has to do some cleanups. I'd say go for the GS2, isn't it roughly the same size as the Arc?
sgs2 look like a beast
arc look like a sexy lady....hahaha
i believe with the overclock kernel, things will work quite nicely, like lg2x, altho 512 its kinda snappy with duo core
need others to confirm....
I am interested for neo since there is no forum for it I had to post it in ARC's thread, I believe there are almost equal as per hardware internal and S/W. Neo is quite smaller than S II.
I find that after removing a lot of the SE stuff, it frees up a lot of the internal memory. I put all of my apps on the internal memory and games on the sd, and it's working out pretty well for me.
Though if you have A LOT of apps/games, then you can look at "App 2 SD" which is on the Android Market. It lets you move almost all of your apps onto your SD card. So while having low internal memory sucks, its not that big of an issue IMO.

I've moved google maps to sd card without a problem (with titanium backup) and i've uninstalled alot of SE bloatware.
Off course, the internal memory of Arc is no comparison to the SGS2, but i honestly don't experience any lag, but then again, i'm not a heavy app user (got bout 20/25 of them).
A friend of mine got the SGS2 and it's indeed slightly bigger then the Arc, and putting them next to eachother confirms the beauty and the beast story ;-).
edit... only just saw your interested in Neo, that's a different comparison regarding looks, i haven't seen a Neo in reel life yet
I plan on getting the One X but I'm worriec about the only 25gb internal. A lot of gsmeloft games require at least 1gb of storage. And then I would want some tegra games. And then my normal apps and other games. I don't know if I would have enough storage. But I won't need storage for music because I use google music. I would just want some extra for maybe a couple 700mb AVI movies. Right now I have an HTC Sensation and still only have the 8gb ad card it came with and am making it work. But for my next phone I wanted one with loads of internal storage and a sd card slot.

Internal still 900 mb left for apps. On SD card still 25,65 GB left. (Keep in mind that this might change if devs can repartition the drive so you can get 5 gb internet and 20 sd for example).
You'll have more then enouf storage! Also movies can be played on Dropbox (25Gb free)

How much ram?
Hi! I'm new here at xda..anyway..I'm planning to buy the htc one x..anyway..my question is..
1)-the device have 1gb of ram right? so does it give you a full 1gb ram? or 512 only?
2) any interesting feature that this phone have?

I don't have an issue. about 3-4gb clockwork mod backups, 2.5 gb titanium backups(both of which I can transfer to my pc). Don't have 20gb of music though...got an iPod for that.

sadly i have an ipod 3 gen and the play music quality is so bad compared to my hox.
i have an ever growing collection of music
@op if you're not using your phone like i am for music then you should be fine.
i dont play games or take pictures as i have a DSLR for that so i just filled mine with music
lol agree with the music quality. Posts like this make me wonder what I really use my phone for. Over half the used storage is mods, roms, backups, and suchlike.
I came from a sensation with a 32gb card in it. So far I have not run out. Installed loads of games and got cm backups etc. I do find I have to be careful with the amount of music and def only ever have one or two movies on it. I take a lot of photos and video which would kill it if I didn't upload to Dropbox.
Upshot 32gb is manageable but 64gb would be comfortable. Dam them for removing the SD expansion from their phones!

Hello fellow mate...
1- yes it has 1.0 gb of ram. Mine is always 860-900 mb ( see pic, this is after clearing ram there was a corrupted app. )
2-sense is the number one feature that made sell my s3 and buy this. TW is ugly, but sense is beautifull and has tons of personalizations..
Good luck with this phone

I wouldn't say plenty... camera is okay.
I have exactly the same amount of storage I had before with my S1,
which was released in 2010, so I dont feel "plenty"...
But the phone in fact is really nice, fast, stable and comes almost without annoying bugs.
The camera is really good, too, especially with sunny-day-outside videos.

Since I knew of the storage capacity and bought the phone nevertheless, Im certainly not a hater.
There are people out there, who use their phone differently than you do,
just think of someone - like me - who wants to listen to .flac-files.
At almost one gb per album, even with a 64gb microsd, space isnt in fact plenty.
But still, to most users, storage seems to be sufficient. Just saying, it could be more...

actually the memory cannot be problem for me like u said i can use micro sd
but the camera is more important cause i love photography and the price tag for another phones like s4 is so high (i have to buy the phone unlocked)
I think this phone has decent storage and expandable with 64gb sdcard

I personaly like this phone a lot. I like it before it was even anounced as I was in a need to change my old phone to a new one but found out that the 5" flagman phones are too big for my liking always liked small phones and even Laptops if that matter after all the phone is something you carry everyday. So when the SGS4 mini was introduced I know that this was my phone I especially like the 8 mps camera which I already know form SII and S3 and love. However I`m not much of a photograph myself so even with this beatuiful camera I can`t take great photos but it`s ok.
What about daily use the Dual-Core CPU is fast enough to handle normal workload like browsing ocational Facebook activities etc. The 1.5 GB of Ram could and make all the difference in multi-tasking and is great that you know that whatever you do you wouldn`t run out of RAM.
I think the most anouing issues with this phone are the internal storage in my case (I-9195) it`s only 5GB which is really small as I play games mostly Fifa 14 and the phone has only 1.4GB internal storrage free after the fifa install. So if you plan to play games the internal storage is not big enough or I suggest you to find a phone with the 16GB internal. The other anouing issue is the battery life the phone hardly manage to give me whole day of intensive usage which isn`t good at all. However in normal usage it surely could last 2 days.
So to put it simple the phone is fast and the size is great however the internal storrage is less then needed and the battery life is poor.
