How much app storage do you get? - HTC One X

Hello am thinking on getting this phone but dont want to make the same mistake like I did with desire. So out of the 32GB how much is left for apps.
Also can you use your own sd card or is it just 32GB.
Thanks

Post in the Q&A section next time
The phone has 32GB worth of flash inside.
Actual usable internal storage for apps is 2GB.
The "SD card" portion is 25GB.
There isn't a slot for a SD card and the internal flash is eMMC which is soldered to the board. You can't upgrade it. 2+25 is all you get.

2gb for apps as well as the 25gb partition. No SD card slot

Thanks guys

Internal Storage

This is my first Android Phone without an SD card slot (Had Samsung Galaxy, Thunderbolt and Bionic before). Trying to understand. Is the Internal Storage a physical storage medium like you find in the iPhone or is it an internal SD card? Some people talk about virtual SD drive and partitioning. Am I able to partition the internal storage so that part of it will work like an external SD card and does not get erased with ROM upgrades? Thanks

the internal memory is a nand chip, it's much better than having a microsd card like the HD7 and mozart, as it runs much faster, and less error.
but not too sure about partitioning it, as you only get about just over 13GB users memory.

[Q] Sd card problems

Noob here, I have one simple question. I recently purchased a Class 10 Sandisk 32gb microSD card because I was running out of space in my internal SD card (mostly because of pictures/videos). So I formatted and inserted the card into my phone and was expecting more storage space but whenever I try to take pictures or save anything it says it has insufficient space. In "storage" it says the 29.7 GB free and none of it has been used. How do I tell my phone which is running on CM10 stable, to utilize my microSD now that it has no more space?
Thank you very much for you time.

Which is better : Move to SD Card or leave it as it is

Hi, I would like to ask you guys... Is it much better to move my apps to SD Card ( internal ), or should I leave it as it is..?? since there are options in Settings - Device - Apps , to "Move to SD Card" ..
It's quite confusing on Android.., sometimes a SD Card, can be mean an Internal, and an external
Sorry for my bad english

In general, if an app can be moved to the SD card, I do it. Technically, they should load slower from your SD card. The internal storage should be faster. But, it's probably so small that it's not noticeable.

Generally it´s the internal SD where it will be moved. You can use Link2SD to move it to the external or swap the SDcards so the external will become the internal. This is what I´m doing as my new Class10 SDCard is actually faster than the build in internal one.

Any benefit if I move it to internal SD Card,, or it just the same..??
Since my external card are so old and slow, I think I just have to wait to get a better one, before I do the swap thing..
My I know what external SD Card that you use ? Brand and type..

As long you have enough space left on the partition where your Android is installed, I also wouldn´t move any apps as this is the fastest compared to internal or external SD cards. But for apps like Navigation with its huge maps its better to directly move them to the external SD card.
Previously I was using a Samsung Class10 SDCard but at the moment I´m using a noname Class 10 SDCard I bought on ebay. Doesn´t really matter as both perform very well though the noname is actually a bit faster.

Excellent... thank you for the explanation,,
oh and I has read about Link2SD ( the used,, how to use it, etc ),, I was though that a Swaping app to make from internal to external, but it wasn't..
And that actually pretty nice,, I think I'm gonna try that, since I don't like swaping EX to IN thing...

[Q] Toaster: External Storage Space Left 1.xx MB

When I installed stuff, I get a toaster that says I have 1.xx MB of storage left...... on a brand new 64GB SD card, lol.
Is that because I formatted the card to Fat32 instead of exFat?
Can I just ignore the toaster?
i've been getting that on my note 2 about the internal storage. there's 4GB free and 12GB on the SD card. it's only when i'm updating market apps.
I've been getting the same message. One thing that I've noticed is that within the Managing Apps section of Settings, the category listing of SD Card has about 12 apps listed but when I go to the app details it asks if I want to move to SD. Pretty strange...especially since I haven't installed any apps to the SD.

If the card is 64GB then you need exFAT to address all 64GB. I ran out of app space on my first unit and it started rebooting. I returned and have way more apps intalled on my new one with no issues. Hope this helps.
I get this message too and I have no SD card installed. I can't find any indication anywhere else in the device that any part of my storage is limited to the insanely small amount that is shown in that pop up after installing an app. By all other accounts I have at least half of the storage capacity left on this tablet.

16GB vs 32GB

Hello will they be any down side to buying the 16GB version to the 32GB version if you plan on adding a 64GB sdcard? what I mean by this will the Device allow me to install all apps onto the SDcard.
Thanks
Well 16gb may not be able to fit all your apps. Thats fine as long as you get an sd card with fast read and write speeds. If you may experience slow dons if putting apps on the sd card.
^ What the poster above me said, plus the fact that in Android 4.4+, apparently there are issues with writing/deleting to/from the external SD card - just something you might want to take into consideration.
you may want the 32gb internal to install many apps/games as most apps are not movable to the externel SD.
