[Q] only 10.36 GB ??? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, just noticed my 16GB Note 2 has only 10.36gb available. Should it be more than that ?

normal i believe. after system files and things like that i have like 9 and change free

This is quite annoying really. What makes it worse is that you can't move programs/apps to external SD Card ATM.

its not so much a bummer for me bc i dont install much. i love the phone so much i over look this :good:

True. We need to get the App 2 SD implemented. There are so many games i would like to install and haven't because of this reason.

Blows my mind that some people don't understand that 16gb will NEVER mean 16gb of usable space for users. And with microSD cards being so cheap I don't get why it would ever even be an issue. Best Buy had 64gb Sandisks on sale last week for $39...

Try installing 1 GB games on the SD card without rooting and without having the App 2 SD option.
App 2 SD option is needed urgently.

it doesnt mean I dont undersrand, it just isnt acceptable to loose nearly 6gb of storage space. Loosing 2gb is acceprable but nearly 6gb is apalling. Can you point me in a working workaround to install apps to external sd card then as the only one I can find a lot of people are saying it doesnt work or function very well.

Maybe you can use Directorybind? Works for me, doesnt work if you are not rooted tho

[Q] Memory Card

i am forced to use my 2gb memory card, since somehow my 8gb card doesn't work anymore, like if i was to put it in my phone it would freeze, or wouldn't show up in the sdcard settings, and when i put it in my sdcard adapter and put it in my comp, it still doesn't show up and my comp starts slowing down and freezes, but i'm planning on getting a new card for my aria(until the htc atrix comes out hehe) but will a 64gb card work on the aria or the highest is 32gb, cause if 64 will work it'll make my iTouch pretty much worthless, but even if a 32gb will work i'ma get rid of my iTouch
Max supported is 32.

Don't get Kingston cards unless marked being made by Japan. Just got a Taiwan make and boy... less than 1 MBps speeds on a class-4 card is pretty not awesome.

HTC is coming out with a comparable device.
Working for MCO, Kingston would mix and match where cards were made. Just because the 1st one out of the box was legit, didnt mean the 2nd was.
Backflip indeed was horrible but it opened me up to a new OS and now I love Android.
Im running a 32GB SDHC card, gave my girl my 8 and have a bowl of cards. None have given me issues on my phone with any of the ROMs. My GF has a Incredible and doesnt have any issues either.
Yes, this thread is worthless.
FYI, Google makes the Atrix...lol
Actually motorola makes the Atrix.seeing as it was out well before the Google buyout.

Totally derailed.
In any case, I thought the max was 16GB! So, no not worthless IMO.
I suggest you get a Sandisk on e-bay perhaps class 6 or 10 so you can run your ROM's cache and Davlink in there. I'm I right? eh? eh?

Ext sdcard corruption

So I don't know what's happening but I have a 32gb class 10 micro sd card. And once a week it just goes corrupt and my files are all corrupt. It's seriously getting on my nerves and I don't know what to do. I I've formatted it in the phone and in a pc and it doesn't matter it still happens.

Any ideas? It will just abruptly stop saving pictures to my ext sdcard and when I use root explorer to see why it has changed from read/write to read/only.

Sounds like the card may just be faulty?
I have had one incident with my current SD card recently where it wiped itself but fortunately it hasn't happened again. I have a 32 GB Class 10 also. I have read of other experiences with QC issues with lesser known brands like "Patriot" (my current) or "PNY". I think for my next one I'll spend the extra dough and go Samsung. I hear those are built like tanks

It could be the card itself. Why not try another card and see if it happens on other cards.

Damnit! Not good news for me. I hate that the internal memory is all one partition. This is ridiculous.

storage space

is this what we really get from a 16gb phone? i just notice this..
... 10 gb only?
That's all. It's [email protected]#king insane. And no apps2sd without rooting. More insane. Google and Samsung must realise that such a stupid decision will scare developers away. There must be more that 30 games on the Play Store that require 1gig now. Not only that either. Spotify do not allow you to save off line playlists to the sd card!
I filled my internal memory in 10 days!!
Look on the bright side. The Windows Surface 64gig only lets you use about 24! (don't quote me on that figure).

I don't think Apps2SD works on N2 even if it is rooted.

Theres a mod out there that lets u swap ur internal memory space with a external sdcard. Getting a 64 gig card would give u a boost. I believe they did this so consumers would buy the larger memory phones, just like crapple does. Bad for us consumers, good for the business

Why don't you research before you buy and you will save yourself the grief. I have no problems with the 10.1gb free and have 64gb card in the phone too.

I can't see any technical limitations on the Micro SD size.

However, until you try it (or someone else) it's just an assumption (both ways - yes or not).

I actually think there is a way to partition it using a tool in windows or Linux that splits it into two 64gb "sd" cards. So it's one card but in the phone it comes up as two. I think.. I'm not sure if this still works.. I remember seeing this "trick" in the s2 forums years ago when I had that.

This works on the note2, I don't see why a similar setup wouldn't work for the s4.

It will work but after partitioning it. Get the card and post back if you need help on how to proceed.

NO T-Mobile said themselves 64 GB is max, however if you partition into 2x 64 might work... Have not tried tho

Galaxy S3 and SD Cards

Hello Guys.
I've seen this problem on a few forums but no one really has the solution that might work for my phone. Whenever I add videos or movies to my external SD card, in a few hours or days my SD card starts acting weird. Some of the pictures get deleted or destroyed and sometimes I cant access my SD card with CWM. When I play the videos I can't fast forward (doesn't let me) and sometimes the movie plays for 2 minutes and then just starts from the beginning again. I tried formatting it several times in fat 32 and exfat and it gives the same problem. I tried using different SD cards from sandisk and still causes problems. I am currently using the 64gb san disk SD card. My phone is SGH-T999. Also, for those who are wondering, I did try different roms.
Any solutions?
Have you tried using 32gb card or less?
The 64gb cards shouldn't be full compatible

64gb cards are fully compatible. If not, they wouldn't work. To the op. Contact SanDisk. I had a couple of 32gbp SanDisk cards do this to me. They sent me new ones for free even though they were 1 and a half years old. Now it works fine. I am using a 64gbp card now with no issues.

Yeah, I think the best solution at this point will be contacting them and asking them for a new one. But to be completely honest, I used a generic one and it gave me the same problems. Then, I thought I should stop using cheap crap and bought a SanDisk and still same problems. I guess the problem is in the device?
