[Q] Manually upgrade 16gb to 32/64gb? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

I was wondering if there is a way or is it possible to buy a 16 gb model of the note 2 and manually change the internal memory to a 32/64 gb. This is because they probably wont sell the 32/64gb models here in the Philippines. So I'm planning to buy the 16gb model and have it manually upgraded to the 32/64gb memory. Thanks.

what? sprint doesn't cover the Philippines. you want the international version

yup, I'm talking about the international version. Cuz I'm planning to use the note 2 on a trip this coming Nov. & I was wondering if there was a way to upgrade the internal memory like taking the galaxy apart and switching up the part that holds the 16gb memory and switch it up with the 32/64gb (I don't know how it works that's why I decided to ask in the forums).

I don't know, perhaps search YouTube for a tear apart or repair video. I know some phones in the past actually used micro sd cards for the internal memory. People could pry open the HTC windows 7 phones and put in a larger sd card inside.

Onboard storage is irrelevant when you live in the cloud. Just like Google wants you to. I have 9GB free. Most of my space is taken up by backups and ROMs.

Same here. I dont miss sd card slot at all.
Except the cases whčn i need to film a lot (vacation).

I only miss the SD card because I have several Android devices and I'd like to be able to take one out and put it another one in for purposes such as music, etc.
32gb would have been nice so I could keep more than 2 roms backed up at once on my galaxy nexus plus allow for all my games,apps an music, 16 gb really doesn't go that far for me, I find myself uninstalling a lot of stuff an keeping apps an games backed up with titanium backup so I can easily get it back quickly if I need to so I have storage space.

Free "Thanks" I did not mean to thank you.
But anyway, I have like 10 back ups + music + HQ movies. I honestly don't see a difference in sells if Google were to add additional storage to this phone.

Maybe sales may even have gone done because the price would have to be a bit more.

I totally agree that I'd have liked to see a 32GB option and/or a slot for a microSDXC card, like the Galaxy SIII has. I don't want to depend on cloud storage for my music files. And I'd rather use my own music app rather than the Google Play music player. A 64GB microSDXC card in the GN would be perfect.
As it is, I bought a 64GB flash drive that I mount on my GN via USB OTG and Stickmount. Not ideal, but it works.

Would of?
What the hell does that mean?
Would've, while sounding like "would of" is in fact short for "would have"
Together the two words show timing and intent, but could be used apart:
I would buy.
I have bought.
But the same is not true of your use of the word "of."
I of bought.
Simple mistake based on tricks our ears play on us.
No offense intended.

Well states wise, how much they would have sold, if Google had a unified launch of launch product. as i remember the release date from Verizon was foggy at best. Then they offered no way buying in the stateside besides Ebay/Amazon, till whatever exclusivity deal expired with Verizon. Then Google finally offered directly and Sprint got the phone.
I could only imgine that this phone would have sold well, if it had any amount of marketing, and unified launch besides one carrier in the states

I have an 8gb card in my phone now and 1.1gb left it's safe to say that 16gb will be okay for me. I'm looking at price point of the phone. Not the memory.

You really think it would have sold any more units with 32GB storage? I find that hard to believe. If you choose your phone based on 16GB vs 32GB storage, and are willing to give up having a Nexus because of it, you clearly don't get it. I still have yet to understand why anyone would need that much storage.
And MicroSD sucks. Partitions and UMS are just a pain in the ass. Don't expect Google to ever use them again in a Nexus device.

Available int memory?

I tried to order the Note 2 with 32gb of int. Memory but was told that the only model available was the 16gb. Will T-Mobile have the 32gb model? I have the SGS3 with 32gb of int memory and want the same for the Note 2.
Thanks, Vinny

Since the device has a MicroSD slot, one option might be to purchase an expansion card for it. Even 64GB cards can now be had for around $60, and 32GB cards for less than half that.

That is NOT internal memory though and that's the letdown cause a lot of my games are 1.5-2gb for just one game and they can't be moved to sd without causing some type of issues... 32gb is the sweet spot of internal storage as far as I am concerned...
I agree. I I have a 16 gig i9300 and I run out of space quick because of games. I work for tmobile, so I will check and see and let you guys know

(Q) 32GB To Be Or Not!?

When is 32gb version being released!? I keep hearing different crap and tonight at t-Mobile buying some nfc's I asked and guy told me only online but no date yet. Can anybody verify this as store cashiers are brainless.

When you can get a 64gb card cheap for a device with an sd card reader...why bother forking out bigger bucks for 32 or 64gb internal?

Because you can't readily install apps on your external card anymore.
If no 32 or 64 internal coming which is upsetting knowing there are 64's in korea and uk I believe at least get going on the 128 micro sd already and a real hack to swap memory..
Newer apps as nd such will fill 16 (10gb) real quick so I dont see how they dont see the demand. It will only be $50 more to get 32gb phone.

Why a micro SD card but useless

Sorry I just really don't quite get this and it's made me quite angry so correct me if I'm wrong here. Do we blame Android or Samsung for this. Here is my question why the heck does my Galaxy Note II has the ability to have a micro SD card slot and yes I have a 32GB SanDisk card in there when yet again I cannot seem to transfer programs onto it to free up some space on my phone.

You can use link2sd directory bind or folder mount to move things to your sd card if your rooted

If I'm not wrong, ever since the S3 came out, APP2SD stopped working on subsequent phones models. I can't say whether it's Samsung or Google who implemented this since everyone in my house uses a Samsung device lol. But with the ever increasing storage size of newer phones, I don't really miss APP2SD.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
I tried Apps2SD and no luck what so ever, complete blumen fail, get error telling me that my device does not support it. To say the least I am not happy about this at all. I but a Samsung Galaxy Note II (N7105 Model) than a further $55 for a 32GB SanDisk MicroSD Card and now I cant even transfer some of my programs to the SD card. I would if been better off buying a dummy phone and pretended to use it as a normal phone.
Well you can use the micro SD to keep your music and videos and reserve the phone memory for the apps. Unless you have a lot of big apps that eats up 1gb each like GTA, you won't run into any problems. Similarly you can try link2sd but like app2sd you will run into problems if your SD card runs into some problems or you take it out.

Try to root your phone though your phone's warranty will be void and use the app called directory bind.. It will help u solved phone memory problem.

The ability to move apps to so card had been removed by Google from jelly bean. . But Samsung is the only one who have reintroduced it from 4.2.2... and is also available on the leaked 4.3 roms and in note 3.. So if you want it. .. Flash the leaked 4.3 rom on your note 2... and yes it is better in all respects than the earlier rom

Ok what's the actual difference between the N7100 and N7105 model can someone please tell me.
Sent from my GT-N7105T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I use the SD card for pictures, movies and music. I leave internal memory alone as much as possible. So basically, for apps. But now the normal amount of space in a device is 32gb which is nice. With 32gb, I probably won't care about too many apps being installed unless it slows down the device. That's actually one of the reasons why I DON'T install too much crap on my phone... haha.
But still, it would be nice to be able to move apps to SD card, but in all honesty, I have yet to run into the low memory issue. I have very few games and the games I do have installed are "light" version of games, rather than heavy 3d games with lots of textures. I like puzzles and simple games.

N7100 is the 'regular' non LTE version of the note 2 while N7105 is the international LTE version.

Choose between 16GB or 32GB

Hello Dear HTC One M8 Lovers
I will buy the HTC one M8 asap, coming from a plastic S3 I guess it's way better than S4 or S5....
My question is, should I choose the 16gb or 32gb? I know I can use micro SD card up to 128gb...
Please give me your input regarding these question. On my S3, using SD card to save photos is a pain in the ass ..the gallery just freezes when to open the SD card photo gallery...
Any thoughts??
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I got the 32GB I find 16 is just to small and 32 is just perfect for me, im not going to be using any micro sd anytime soon.
What's the cost difference? You can get a 16GB MicroSD card on Amazon for 10 dollars. So... if it's more than 10 dollars (and it's usually something absurd like a HUNDRED dollars) you'd kind of be foolish to spend it, wouldn't you?
Verizon gave me a 32gb. Didn't even know a 16gb model existed. Oo

most people just go, put a memory card in it.
But with kitkat you have to remember the 3rd party access to external storage is limited.
