I really haven't noticed. Everything still works ( nandroid backups,titanium) just like any other android phone.
Its a virtual sd card. I was also worried I'd miss a real one. But it's a non issue for me. Fwiw.

Just sucks not being able to pop in your sd card from your old phone and having your stuff right away.. But its easy to move your stuff over.. And it would suck if you damaged your phone and wasn't able to save things. So make sure you back everything up

No. I still have plenty of space left even with a bunch of music. Admittedly I don't watch or care about movies and TV series on my phone. Just books and music.

This is the biggest hit. Many devices that support USB mass storage don't support mtp, like my car.

if you need more than 15 GB of space, then you are out of luck
or in the Verizion version if you need more than 31 GB of space, then you are out of luck
I stream media mostly so it doesn't really matter. I barely use the space except for some games.

Not really. 32 gigs is enough for me. Everything else can be stored in the cloud for when I need it.

Or you can get USB Host
Expandable USB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400034 not as convenient... but its there
you could even be "ghetto" and use the expandable USB to a ASUS Transformer or another tablet and then you have some more storage + a on the go charger!
so long as you have unlimited data & don't mind relying on the cloud then its no problem.
I honestly am starting to prefer the lack of SD card. I have the VZW version, so 32gb is a lot of storage to begin with, and the internal memory is faster than the cheaper SD cards. Also, USB works fine for me.

Android File Transfer works great for me on my MacBook Pro. Give it a try.
Having vzw and obviously 32 gb is cool with me however if it would've been 16 gb it may have been inconvenient not a deal breaker tho
Really not a big deal. I'm sure not every single phone everyone has ever had has the same specs.

Personally no. I have had numerous devices that offered the ability to expand storage. I only used it to expand storage and I've never needed to take advantage of the ability to swap memory cards. The Verizon GN has 32GB which is more than enough space for me.
I sorta felt the same way at first until my buddy explained there was really no need for more gb.
It not like you need to carry all your Harry potter movies with you and if your going to load up your phones with games and movies with more than 16gb you wouldn't be able to consume it in one day anyways.
Its a phone not a house to store your media library. With cloud and all phone app 16gb is plenty
Miss the SD card support.
Would've been able to use a Sd sleeve and micro SD card to transfer photos from my Camera to my phone so I could upload them while I was on my ski trip..
It's not a problem for me. I actually prefer having built in memory. I have unlimited data so storing it in the cloud is no issue for me and tbh, it's a phone not a computer.
SD card is nice for the portability and that it's physically separate from the phone, as far as storage - i think the mass are satisfied with 16/32GB internal storage.
There will always be fringe users who want something insane like 64GB.
Or is 32gb the max
I have a ton of psx games that I want to keep on my phone

I think u can on GB. But I think u can only use 32gb on ICS
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA
I say try it and let us know. The worst that happens is that you have to flash a Nandroid and plug back in the 32GB card. I just upgraded to the 32 myself for music; you must have big files or a lot of them.
I have a 64GB and it works just fine on GB & ICS. Just my experience for what it's worth.
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

Try directory bind from XDA. I dont have to the link but searching should help. If you can't find it I'll get the link for you.
thank you!!!
Or use the mod that swaps your internel and external memory. You need a kernel that supports it (like Perseus) and if you have a 64gb card your phone will think it has 64gb internal with a 16gb external. That's what I'll do when 128gb cards become available

Hi there,
Just use directory bind, it's extremely easy to use and is free. I moved a lot of my stuff to my micro sd and have over 8 gigs left now on internal. I could free the whole thing but im only installing small apps on the internal now so it should last forever.

Don't waste your time waiting since the phone only support 64gb max...

Is there some kind of a hardware limitation that note 2 can't use 128gb? because if there isnt it should work fine (hoping ^_^)
Use GL to sd card app

Since marshmallow doesn't seem to be happening at all, is there any working marshmallow ROMs for this device yet? Also, my understanding is that marshmallow will work as some sort of RAID setup where the micro SD card and the internal memory are mixed into one so now micro SD card will actually allow to install an entire app on it?
Anything else I need to know to get this done? Thanks very much!

From my understanding of the Marshmallow timeline; I wouldn't give up hope yet. We could be getting sometime in the Spring.
Buying a 16gb device is the worst I've ever done. It's unusable after a few apps. I just wanna be able to consolidate micro SD card and internal memory into one already..

I've got the same model and haven't had any storage issues. But, I don't use many apps at all.
