[Q] Is 16gig Enough

I see the SGN2 on ATT only has 16g of memory. Should I wait to see if they get devices with more memory? I understand that you cannot really run apps from the SD card. Could some one please shed some light on this for me?

I can't imagine someone having 16G of apps? Matter of faxt 8 gig of apps would be crazy. I have 30 apps on my SGSIII and that is only .7G. Most Apps are only like 10M so it would take 100 apps for 1 G. Id say 16G is plenty. Buy a 64G SD card for all your media files and you should be fine.

16 GB is fine on a phone that allows an external microSD card. Put all your music, photos, videos, etc on the microSD and you'll have 16GB dedicated only for apps.
16 GB on a device that doesn't have an SD slot is okay for people who either don't have much stuff or that store that stuff on a "cloud" service (dropbox, google music/drive, etc) Personally, I don't like the "cloud" idea as it uses up my data allotment.

For the sake of comparison, I have 4 Gigs of music and many apps on my Inspire 4G with 8 GB micro SD Card. 16 GB internal with a 32 GB card will be more space than most people will use.

i actually had to clear out internal space for tomtom maps on my 16gb atrix (no option to use sd card for the maps) ....and i only use internal for apps.
yeah i know there are ways to force apps to sd...but it was causing freezing issues on the atrix...
so yeah, a little disappointed that there isn't a 32gb at launch...cuz in two years apps can just get bigger and bigger....

Seen the size of some the newer games yet? 1 or 2gb games will become common soon, especially for FPS and racing games now that the hardware is there.

Can't you install the APPS on the SD card, just like you can do today?

Was just curious on difference in file size between my ios apps and soon to be android apps. I will compare a couple of other apps later today but if this is the trend I don't think I will have an issue with only 10gb of usable space.
I just compared the original angry birds 2.3.0 and my ios app is 112mb and the play store shows the android version is only 24mb.
Netflix ios 30.3mb and playstore shows the android version at 10mb.

wow. That concerns me greatly.

For me 16GB is not enough for main memory. I have a 32GB SD card but unfortunately on the S3 and presumably the Note 2 App2SD won't work. So all you are left with is 16gb to install all your apps, which is really like 11GB useable. Well if you want to play games on your phone (I have been) a lot of these bigger games are each 1GB or larger!! I just Bards tale and that had an option to install 3.5GB!! So for me I have to say my next phone needs to have at least 32GB or larger especially if App2SD can't get working right. I was really hoping the Att GN2 would come in 32 and 64GB flavors.

1 guy posted in the thread I pasted that Titanium backup moves Apps to the SD without issue. I get mine Tuesday I'll be trying it first thing. If it doesn't work I'll have to return it, 10Gb is not enough for Apps now and future.

My main concern regarding the memory configuration is that I thought I read somewhere in the forums that internal memory has faster access than the SD card expansion memory. My current Galaxy Note is using a 16g internal memory configuration with a 32g Class 10 SD card. I was hoping to go for the 32g option for internal memory if it was going to be made available but maybe the speed benefit isn't that great.
When looking at the pre-order options, I only see the 16g model and it doesn't offer the white version that is listed on Samsung's site! I'm not sure if I should wait a little longer or just dive in now!

I'm in the same boat, I would like to get a White 32gb version but I read AT&T is only getting the 16GB and only have grey for now. I'm not sure if I can wait until the white one comes out or not.
16gb isn't going to be enough for me but I do have a 64gb sdxc so I'll just make due.

You can always root the device & install the mod that swaps the internal sdcard with the ExtSdCard.

When are they going to release the 64 GB Galaxy Note 2 ?

When are they going to release the 64 GB Galaxy Note 2 ? At least when Apple say that there is a 64 GB version, we actually see it in real life.
If Samsung is not going to release it, why even announce that there is a 64 GB version. Samsung may as well say that there is a 16/32/64/128/256 GB version of the Galaxy Note 2 during its event to make it look good.

Gn2 forums state Samsung isn't going to bother with the 64, and likely focus on the 16 only.

Even if you don't believe everything posted in a forum, considering that the 64GB S3s are just now slowly starting to trickle out in Europe, I wouldn't be optimistic on that ever happening.

Wait toss doesn't have 64? Kidding, but maybe the onboard chip coukd be removed and replaced with a 64gb model. Couple of guys I work with could do it and they have the tools. Probably safer to put a 64gb class 10 microsd in it. Maybe in a year, after warranty is out, I'll have them take a stab at it.

I would imagine that a class 10 64GB card would not be a good idea as a replacement to the built-in 16GB flash; I think the onboard flash is higher speed than any SD card we would install, even if you could get the Note II's storage controller and such to recognize the new chip properly, and do the connections properly.
Sounds like a cool project nonetheless

Try this, it will switch your external sd card to your internal sd card. So if you have a 64gb card you can essentially have a 64gb samsung note 2.

How are things running? The internal storage on the note 2 is about triple the speed of an extreme sd card running at 95mb/s. Note 2 internal read write is just over 220 mb/s. If you use a class 10 sd card, those are only 25-30mb/s. If your playing games with huge loads like Nova 3 or move huge amounts of video/photos, it's likely going to take a huge hit to speed if you use the SD card as internal storage.
It's like desktop PCs - many people use smaller ssds for the OS and the bigger but often slower drives for heavy storage. In this case then internal is like an ssd and the SD card is like a data drive.
Can you compare the transfer rate while moving a big video to and from the internal memory compared to moving the same video to the SD card mounted as the internal drive? Curious as to your results.

My point is not that iphone has better storage or not. What I want to say is Samsung stated that there is a 64 GB version of the Galaxy Note 2 and they don't release it at the same time as the release of the 16 GB. Apple actually release the 16/32/64 GB at the same time.
The funny thing is, Samsung actually can make its own flash memory. It does not have to depend on another company.

To be honest i cant tell of any difference in speed in day to day use. Apps load fine and just as fast as the internal sd. The core apps and Stock Rom are installed on the ram, so there wouldnt be any difference really with using the device. As for transferring videos back and forth i haven't really done and tests, but than again i would always store larger media files on the 64gb sd anyway. I do highly recommend this mod especially for someone looking for more capacity. i had this mod on my gs3 and no problems then, and i have no problems now. If anyone is holding out for the 64gb note 2 just look at the gs3 situation. You have to remember you arent removing the internal sd they are just swapped for each other in the OS. So the internal is now the external. Both are accessible just like normal.

I'm running a 64GB microSDXC and it's just fine and dandy. I agree they shouldn't announce it and then not have it available though.

You should never be worried about the internal memory size - even 8GB should be enough, AS LONG AS the phone comes with EXTERNAL SD CARD SLOT WHICH ACCEPTS LARGE SD CARDS. Having the external SD card is NOT necessarily about expanding your storing capacity (although a 64GB does that generously) but rather about having your information safe, significantly less prone to accidental formatting/erasing. Most of the time when you do a factory reset your internal storage is also formatted - do you want that to happen when you stored tons of important information? Of course not!! Worried about read/write speed? Buy a high quality, class 10 external SD card and I promise you won't see any drop in speed. Only use the internal storage for files that the system really looks for and requires to be placed inhere - otherwise, EVERYTHING else, especially large media files, backups and personal files should be kept onto the EXTERNAL SD Card. There are tons of advantages doing so and all those messages companies like Apple, HTC (newly adopted this stupid model), or others alike who try to influence and convince you that external SD cards are obsolete & cloud storage is better, all that is simply marketing BS. Buy Samsung because they didn't aligned themselves to the BS, because you can have a super generous 16GB internal storage and up to 64GB external storage. Do you need more than 80GB on the go? Then reconsider...really! Maybe you shouldn't download all the internet today, leave some for tomorrow when they'll make you pay for all that "free" cloud storage that you kept cramming onto today. Be open minded, understand how things work and do what's good for YOU not for the big corporations!

Several game loft games and the internal storage is gone... some people do that ya know
And most people dont know about all the hacks to get around this limitation.

64 GB Micro SD

I brought one, formatted it to fat32 and created a partition of 2gb also fat32 using minitool partition so I can use link2sd, but my phone keeps randomly rebooting and apps are force closing, not all the time, but alot of the time, i never had the problem yesterday while using the 32gb sd.
Not sure if i can solve this and is this usual for the 64gb

my phone still keeps rebooting after testing for a few days, at first it's fine but as i gradually try and fill it up to about 21GB now the phone just constantly reboots with force closes and widgets not loading so im assuming 64gb isnt really that compatable, might be worth going back to the 32GB? sd

I have 64gb and have had it for months formatted it to fat 32 via windows I haven't made a second partition though aparantly 1gb is supposed to br max? And are you sure its a real when ever I buy asdcard I always use a program that tests it capacity

Thanks for you're reply, I brought it from amazon directly not a third party, i doubt they would rip me off, i have formatted through the computer and phone using fat32, but i haven't tried it without partitioning it, maybe that could be the problem?
I was able to partition the 32GB to 2GB without any problems but as it's a bigger card it could cause problems, will test it out
How would i test to see if it's real and what would the results show?

I bought mine from amazon also and I used a programe on my computer that i downloaded can't remember what is called but I remember there being a few it took like a hour to test though but I honestl don't know what's up with it you could try not partitioning it for awhile :/ but I have nearly used all the space on my card and experience no problems got about 5 gig left there's also sd tools on the play store or you could try wiping the card completely and starting from scratch :/

I have wiped it and starting from scratch using a 961mb partition just under 1GB as i read it can cause problems hopefully that will sort it if not i will try last resort with no partition, do you have the problem with low internal memory with not having a partition, that's only reason why i chose to do this on my 32GB as i had about 8GB left but i wasnt able to use it.

Nah I don't realy need it I havr 110 mb free and that's with wildblood 52 mb orderandchaos 23mb gangter rio 14mb dolphin browser 14mb and that's the big ones I have loads of games 68 on my play and 200 apps alltogether I do want a second partition but don't have a computer atm does using the second partion makes games run slower and can you move the data aswell as app? And can you movedalvik to sexond partition?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

I dont notice any difference in games slowing down just the same, it doesn't move all data it just uses the app but where as usually you have the app installed on your internal and the data of the game goes to you're sd, you can have both on your sd, keeps all your space, well thats how it worked on my 32GB with 2GB partition but maybe the 64GB causes problems with bigger partition doing that, i'm not sure about the dalvik catche.

No luck, woke up this morning picked up my phone and bang froze, twice rebooted and force close apps everywhere with my home screen widgets not loading, trying now without partition, last resort, otherwise im back to 32GB
after my conclusion i am still having reboots, trying back the 32gb if it still occurs then it's more serious then i thought.
i have also flashed stock firmwire just to see if that was causing it

Weird. I really don't think I've heard of one of these SD cards acting like that for the Play. SanDisk is normally pretty reliable in general, too.
If interested, I'd trade you a Samsung Class 10 that works great in my Play and has pretty good random read/write speeds as well. Although you'd be better off returning yours for the cash.

Apps 2 SD?

Hello,
I just bought this tablet on Newegg with their 50% off promo code and now I'm trying to decide if I'd want to keep it or gift it. 16gb is a little low for my taste as I am using 20gb for apps on my Nexus 7 at the moment, and I was curious if Apps2SD was on this tablet or not? That's the deciding factor for me, otherwise it looks about darn near perfect for my taste!

We've got root, so you can use apps to achieve this. There was someone who moved data from a game onto their SD card and had success, but nothing too conclusive.

A better tool is Foldermount. You can find this in the Play store. While not automatic it does allow you to move apps to an SD card. Its pretty easy to use and has worked flawlessly on my Galaxy tab (still waiting for my G Pad to show). In any case give it a try. Free version allows setup of 3 folders. Any more requires purchase but its only $1.99 so small investment.

Root is must. I am using Folder mount on my G Pad. Working well.

Folder Mount has a lot of limitations (3 folders max, not allowed to bind obb) unless you pay. GL to SD doesnt have these limitations and paying to buy the full version allows you to boot on startup. Ofc directory bind that mustbep mentioned is free,open source and doesnt have any limitations.

I use foldermount on my g2 and my gpad, everything works as expected except the fact that the app doesn't write on the mounted folders did anyone notice that

hey guys, thanks for the recommendations. I just tried out GL to SD and it seems to be good, although the problem is that it can't detect all my games (I don't have any Gameloft games but it still managed to detect around 9 games but left out some others). So i wanna try out Foldermount but would like to have my games moved back to their original place before doing so. Does anyone know how I can do this or if I need to do it manually, which folder to put the apps and their data files? Thanks!

SD Booster on Ace 2

Has anyone tried SD Booster on the Ace 2? I found a small mention of it in the gaming thread. I was just wondering if it's worth bothering with. I've got a 4GB Class 4 card. The reviews look pretty positive on the Play STore.

dont use it. i used it and it messed up my phone. i ever created a thread here about it and i still havent gotten my phone working because of it. it will seriously **** your phone up and is not worth it.and if anyone reading this knows how to fix it can they please reply on the thread above or send me a message please

me too
you mean like after intalling it and rebooting after takes a lot and when finally booted. evrything force closes.it happen to me also.
the thing that did was factory resret and recover a backup i have taken before.also only a factory reset will work

Interesting. I think I'll give it a miss then! I'm always wary of these alleged 'performance enhancing' apps. I guess for what might only be a small improvement in performance it's not worth the bother. Thanks for the replies.
Does anyone know of any performance boosters that are actually worth bothering with? I mean my phone runs okay, but it's just that temptation to squeeze every last bit of pwer out of it, ha.

for me the best thing i done was rooted it, removed all the crapware that came with it like the network apps and some of the samsung stuff. i installed an app called setcpu which automatically controls the speed of the cpu. set it as profile: screen off and max: 400000 or 200000 min:20000 priority: 100. it works great for me and i can get great times except when i use a 3g connection

i recommend just upgrading your ext sdcard to a class 10,(and swap storages after) would help. (that is, if you can get one.)

A REAL class 10 card. You can't believe how many off-brand "class 10" cards are on the market that are slower than the class 4 I bought sometime in 2006...
