Hi guys,
I searched how to remove a partition from the SD and all that i found is for other devices and nothing about Galaxy Nexus. Yesterday i've accidentally created a 2Gb partition and i have no idea if it really exists and how to remove it. I verified all the free storage space at Settings and it shows only 13Gb and not 15 or more Gb.
PS: All the gnex free space is only 13Gb? (16Gb model)
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
My mobile is not showing 32 GB as phone memory but rather it only shows 25.24GB.
the 7GB difference is huge and I was wondering if this is normal and if not, how can i rectify it.
I am using Charmeleon ROM.
Thank you for the advice

The missing GBs are for the system reserved

Basically yes. Unless you use a very lightweight system. Won't see the stograge change by much though. Either way, this is miles better than the 9gbs the xl people have access to

Just wondering if it is the same on the SIII for example?

Not 7, you have around 2GB for apps too...in the future we will probably be able to cut the system space...

And BTW, if you buy a HDD for you PC with 80GB, you wouldnt have all 80GB,the missing GB are lost by transfer bits into bytes...so our system is using maybe 3GB...
And its the same by gs3 too...

Formating an 32gb sd card will give you ~29gb real storage. And now look at settings->storage->total space...this is a second partition on your sd card. Last one: One some OS's it's calculated with 1mb=1000kb and some OS's or progs using 1mb=1024kb...Win Explorer for example says total 25,2gb space and total commander ~26,5gb.
So...there's nothing wrong with your device.
Even if it was stated as 32gb it will only have 29.5 or 30gb. Just like my 32gb sd card only have 29.4gb

u have 2GB to use it as microsd cart, seems that's virtual partition, so if you see it logicaly i have 1TB disk and it shows me like i have 931GB where the 70GB are at? that's the technique of the disk manufacturers

How to move almost all Android apps to SD card ?
what sd card? do you mean you want to save the apk's and store it somewhere outside of the phone? in addition, the internal storage isn't partitioned like that of older nexus models. it's either you get a 16gb or a 32gb storage less the space utilized by the os.
The Galaxy Nexus doesn't have an SDcard.

Meaning i cant transfer apps to usb, like nexus s.
It's not portioned like the older Nexus models. It's just one big internal storage

Last noob question... does it affect my RAM? does it slows down the phone?

No.
When I had my g2 there was a file that was put on sd and some commands entered through emulator and it enable swap partition for memory. It really sped up the phone. Anyone done this on the s3. Not that it's needed but curious.

It's pretty useless for the Galaxy S3: with 2 Gb of memory, your phone will never use swap.
Swap is used when the phone needs more memory than it has. It's slower than ram, but it allows more space for applications and multitasking and this could explain why you saw a difference on your old G2 (I had this phone too and it was very useful for that phone).
If you want a pretty fast S3, try a jb rom. Especially CM10.
If you want to replace ram I don't think so but if you want to swap internal with external storage memory go to this link
http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-t...-external-microsd-for-u-s-canadian-galaxy-s3/
this will swap internal and external storage memory not ram. I did that and got 11 gb swapped with my 32gb micro sd. It's quite cool now I got a 32gb s3 instead of the 16gb saved $100 lol u can do this for upto 64gb

Hello just bought the gs3 yesterday. I am coming from the s2 which was rooted. I can't seem to transfer apps to the sd card? I am not currently rooted but will be rooting soon.

Samsung intentionally disabled the ability to move apps to the SD card. The reason being they would rather you buy the 32GB or 64GB model instead of buying the 16 GB model and adding an SD card.
If you search XDA, there are a couple of fixes you can flash after rooting to re enable this.

Thanks for the info. If I stay unrooted with the onboard 16 of storage I assume the apps save there and the 2gb of Ram is unaffected?
So I have the 32gb GN which of course means I really have a 28.13gb GN which apparently is actually 16.13gb because system storage is using 12gb. Is it supposed to take that much? I checked using the disc storage app. If it is this is one of those facepalm moments to Google for not adding an sd slot.

Indeed it is, if only because you didn't use the search function to find any of the multitude of threads on the matter.
