How much free space?

Could anyone who has received their phone tell me how much free space there is available on the Desire?

Just over 119mb for apps

Thanks. I hope that's enough.

Should be enough until they finally get around to completing their work on officially allowing application installs on the SD card with copy protection.

[Q] Get 16GB or wait for 32GB

i live in holland.and i want this damn phone!!
but should i wait for the 32GB or get the 16GB out of the uk and have it sooner.
any sugestions on what takes up the space?
how manny MB's will 1080p recording be and stuf? any one just have a slight idea?
oh and. WHERE IS THE Q/A for galaxy nexus forums!!!!!?????

Since there's no micro-sd slot I would wait for the 32 gb version. But then I use my phone as my primary music player, fstore video and also use it as my primary camera. It depends on what you plan on using it for. If you store a lot of files on then wait.

I wouldn't wait for anything indefinitely when a version is already released. I've never come close to using 16GB on my phone since I keep my music on the cloud.

agreed.......

I probably don't NEED the 32 gig model but that is probably the route I will end up going.

no memory card slot? what?!
I had not heard about that, is it 100% confirmed? i was so looking forward to this phone, but this is such a deal breaker

No sd. Yeah it sucks! I would prob wait for 32 if it wasnt to long. On the other hand, my 8gb sd has been fine. I think im getting the vigor though because the samsung seems a little big for me.

Another thing to consider is the phony preorder prices. Once we know the actual pricing on the Nexus we can make a better choice. If the 32 isn't ridiculously expensive over the 16, that's the route I'll be going. But if they make it $200 more over the 16, screw that, I'll cloud.

you know.the funny thing is. if i wanted the 16Gb.i need to import it. so far all pre order/retailers only sell the 32GB version here.
cheapest for around 560 euro.

Kinda cheap actually

Depends solely on your needs - or what your data plan looks like. I've had the same 8gb card with me since my G1 and have never come close to filling it. All I store locally are pictures. For me music = cloud. The extent of my video watching on the phone is internet/youtube...so for me, the 16gb is a no brainer. If you need lots of local storage, go 32gb.

hwowo dude. for that money i can buy a LG LED 3D full HD 40 inch TV. >.< well in my country i can.

Seems to be conflicting information out there, some reports state that the UK 16GB version will have an SD card slot but it will be missing from the US version.
Who knows whether these these reports are accurate. Would make more sense if the LTE version didn't have the slot as it needs extra space but the HSPA+ version does.

i doubt it. but ill see. cuz im taking the UK 16GB version. 500 vs560 euros.
the 560 is just a bit to much. plus the 500 euro vor 16GB also includes shipping.

they dont have the 32GB yet.

My Nexus S still have 10GB free space.
So for me, 16GB is more than enough

i still havent made my mind up.
it depends on the price... if the 16gb is alot cheaper... ill get that one..

Available memory for Apps on 16gb version

Hi guys, I preordered a 16gb for when the phone launches here in Canada. Just wondering how much space is left to install apps on it so I can decide if I need to wait for the 32gb version? <really, really, hopes not>
Thanks

You have almost 10gb left over. I will be having the same issue and looking at directorybind or apps2sd(if it gets updated). Hope this answered your question.

Yeah, thanks a lot

Why do they say this is a 16gb phone when its only 10gb?

When you open up the internal memory via pc it says its only 10gb? wheres my other 6 gb?

system files and other stuff.

^^^^^^^ This.
And, just like any other HDD advertised, there's rounding involved. That 250GB HDD you bought is actually only 236GB, or something like that. It's all about them rounding and dividing by 1000 instead of the proper 1024.

I believe my GS3 had more than 10 though?

The GS3 also doesn't have S Note and all the files required for the S Pen framework. It would make a little more sense.
In any case, the proper solution to this thread and its question is to man up and buy a 32GB MicroSD for $20-$30. It's a better solution anyways IMO. If you switch devices for any reason, all your important files are already on your MicroSD and ready to go. I switched to the GNII from an EVO 3D and I didn't have to copy over all my music and ringtones or other important files. I just put my my MicroSD in and everything was there.

Do a backup and you will see where it all goes, adds up quick on a beast like this. Largest back up on a phone ive had yet if im not mistaken it was a hair over 4gb

df -h shows 10.3G
I see total available memory as 10.3G, with only 2.3G free space. I'm on CM 10.2 on Galaxy Note 2. I went to TWRP, wiped internal storage, but still doesn't help.
df -h shows filesystem as 10.3G only - where is the other 6G? Why is it not getting used for custom ROM installation?

Partitioning is why.
Rounding isn't why.
It is because the user-usable-storage partition and the normally-non-editable system partition are counted together. Which makes no sense to common people, but makes perfect sense to advertising agents.

yep, it's that 6GB that samsung reserves for the system partition on just about all the devices they make. seems the should start adding 16GB , 10 useable like they used to do with old school monitors.

Are you new to computers, file storage, formatting, partitioning or just technology in general? The computer you're using to be online and on this website, what do the specs list as it's hard drive and what is really available? That 32GB microSD card you say you have, let me not shock you but if you look it up, it's really not 32GB, but ~ 28GB or so (give or take), really. The industry is to blame..really.

Does anyone have the Honor V20 or View 20 and can you verify if the phone supports any kind of expandable memory. So far, from what I've read it is ambiguous. Same problem and question for the Nova 4?
Thank you

The problem is NM card is not much available in the market and hence only few have access to it. Need to wait for someone to have both with them.

I asked TK and as he reviewd the unit was able test if it takes NM card and his response was no, it doesn't. Unfoftunate I know, I was hoping it would as my View 20 is on it's way to my house.

That doesnt make sense Huawei release new technology and not including it in their flagship line up contradicts the purpose of introducing it.
May be a software update can bring the support for it.

Honestly, I don't mind if it's expandable or nor, but being it expandable would've been a great bonus.

What ever amount of internal storage you have I will prefer to have external storage when I wanted to change my device I would just move all my data to external storage and will use the same card in the new device it will prevent me the hectic work of copying data.

It's confirmed from the initial information itself. But what not confirmed is does it support Huawei NM Card.

Nope, afraid not. Two nano SIM slots and a NM doesn't read in the SIM 2 slot.
Worth noting I'm in the UK so, there may be an international version of the handset or something.

Yes. Had the mate20 pro and returned it for this as it was alot cheaper on my contract. Purchased a NM but unfortunately doesn't work in either slot. Fortunately I'm still within 14 day return period for that too as it was £100 lol

Just in case can you deep dig into settings may be there is a hidden settings or some option in developers options.
Did you try by formatting card to fat32 format?
That doesn't make sense realising a special card and not allowing it to use in flagships.
I don't get why Huawei released it in the first place.

Gone through everything, work for a phone network and Honor reps are saying the same (that's not saying much, granted) but I've gone through dev options etc tried everything I can think of

Thanks. In that case it's a bummer.
May be they will enable it in future updates.

If it doesn't have the hardware to support NM, it's not something that can be enabled of fixed with a software update. I have had a mate 8,9 and 10. I refuse to buy the mate 20 because of this nano memory proprietary, inferior and overpriced cards.
I love my Nova 3 using my 400gb micro sd card. From what I've read, the Nova 4 also doesn't support memory expansion. These are fatal marketing errors by huawei.
Thank you all for the discussion.
