Hi there. I just bought Galaxy 8gb yesterday. Today i've noticed that in my either computer or in phone settings it showing me only 5.78gb. So where is my 2gb gone? Help please.
Still there. 1+Gb is partitioned for applications. The remaining 5.78Gb something is for your personal storage.

Samsung uses the 2Gb to store the cache of applications. It is formatted in a different filesystem and not supposed to be accesible to the user. Thats why you only see about 6GB.
@kcharng: nice and quick... i like it

Thanks guys.
that is why the 16 GB version is better
16 GB version have the same 2GB partition for applications.
The difference is that you have 14GB left rather than 6GB.
I use to remember on my old old original Palm V almost 10 years back, it only have 2MB and THAT was considered a lot for all your contacts.
Talking about Palm V, I still have it and it is sturdy as rock! I wish Samsung or other manufacturers learned from the past. The curves and the feel of the magnesium alloy is unbeatable.

GSMarena then is incorrectly listing the details:
Internal 8 GB/16GB storage, 512 MB RAM, 2GB ROM
When I read this I assumed 512MB for CPU, 2GB ROM for operating system, 8/16GB for applications and storage.
What your saying is the 2GB ROM is actually a partition of the 8/16GB?
Then is that not false advertisement or am I missing something.
That's not correct either. There is a 2gb rom chip but in order to allow you to install more application (especially things like navigators) samsung moved the cache for the applications off the ROM in order to save space there.

indeed.
i still have and use my old Palm 650 and 600
i still cook update ROMs to reflash it every now and then to keep it current, and squeeze every little bit of RAM i can out of it, else it runs with a log of lag without enough free RAM

For those ppl who dont own a webtop dock or will never use webtop interface,
it there a method to remove or disable the webtop interface
that can release the 512 MB ram for Android usage?
It would be blazing fast if we could do so!

If its not running, its not using 512 ram....
it's just like an app, if it's not running it doesn't take any of your memory.

I think he's referring to the face that the Atrix has a 2GB RAM chip inside, but half is used for the phone, and half for webtop.
At the moment there's no way to redistribute the RAM, but perhaps there will be in the future. In the meanwhile, don't worry too much about free RAM, with 1GB of operational RAM, it's not going to be what bottlenecks your phone.

erm 2 gb ram? where did you find that?
I think he means Atrix has 2GB ROM.
About RAM: You can see through comparision between Atrix and Galaxy S2:
- Atrix has 818MB Ram for Apps, with stock apps ( included bloatwares ), free Ram ~ 480 - 560MB. My Atrix free upto 620MB with many apps installed
- Galaxy S2 has 848 Ram for Apps, same condition, free Ram ~ 454 - 550MB.

So you can see webtop won't effect your Ram in real life usage!
See below Screenshot guys.... and tell me how it comes that i got only 766,3MB RAM.
Got a HK Version.... you got same issue ?? ... am i the only one ?? ...
Quadrant Benchmark shows me same ..... a Bug of the Firmware ??
Or something different that i dont know and maybe you guys can tell me ....

I noticed this also on my HK 7.7 version. I wonder if it's a firmware issue.
On every phone there is less, because of android, gpu and so on

This is normal. Android manages RAM differently. Essentially, core applications and system resources receive a dedicated, high-priority slice of that 1GB RAM pie. That slice then becomes basically invisible to the user, so you see what's left over.
Not just Android, but most any OS. Look at your available RAM in your Windows system info. If you have 4GB installed then chances are Windows will tell you it's only 3.2 or thereabouts.
You're fine.
Well ok i know that but i had a HTC Flyer when i pushed there to Harware information there shows 1GB RAM ... and here it shows only 766,3MB and the rest of the RAM is hiding by samsung Firmware ????
It is the same on my Galaxy S(1).
512mb Ram but it only shows ~320Mb

The reason for that is slightly different. 32-bit versions of Windows can only 'see' and use about that much ram due to limitations of the 32-bit system, once a decent graphics card is installed. On my 64-bit Windows 7, I see and can use all 12GB of my ram. I don't think Android runs into limitations of this sort under 1GB.

So more and more rumours are popping up, saying that HTC is working on a device to challenge the Note. How could they not actually, the Note is a big succes and at the moment there is pretty much no real competition for it out there.
According to the rumours, first starting with a popup in benchmark results, the device is called the 6435LVW.
It is said to be running a Snapdragon S4 dualcore, but recently the rumours about quadcores are appearing. Seeing as pretty much all top devices are now moving towards quadcores, I'm inclined to believe the quadcore rumour.
According to the benchmark scores it's hooked up to 1.5 gb of memory and it should have 16 gigs of internal storage. It seems that this is not expandable with an SD card.
And then for the most interesting part for most: The screen, according to benchmarks, is a 5 inch 1080p screen. Putting the PPI significantly above that of the iPhone.
Anyways, this is known, and as a user of the OG Note, which is the best phone I've ever had, I'm quite curous to see HTC's take on a phablet. Especially since I don't get particularly warm for the Note 2.
What do you think, is it a good idea for HTC to enter this market? Is it something you would be interested in?
Lets not forget the blurrycams:

I'm not sure I could step down in size, that's too close to an S3 for me. More importantly to me, no sd card slot? Total fail if that's the case, I well not buy anything which doesn't have expansion.
What has this got to do with N7000 development?
wrong section ah.
:victory:
unless you can compare the specs with our Note. Otherwise, we are all here because of our N7000 gadgets. Not just the rumors.
:fingers-crossed:
really hope this gets a UK release, will buy one for sure
I get why HTC are making devices with Non Removable SD cards and batteries ( Like my One S), Its so they can be 'different' and make devices slimmer.
What I dont get is why they remove the expandable memory but only leave the user with 16gb Internal memory (of which 5-6gb is consumed by ROM + Apps etc) which turns out to be around 10gb.
If you're gonna remove battery and expandable memory, Give us a whopping powerful battery (so we dont need to buy extended ones) and some mega internal memory ! (something like 64gb, with USB OTG support). Retards at Apple have been creating 64gb iPhones for quite some time, So its not rocket science!
I dont think any one is going to make something as popular as the Note series, Samsung smashed it with this device and has created a massive fan base, I for one cant imagine ever switching to something else now.
Is it really that simple and then just a matter of reloading a rom onto the new memory?
I'd like more info, tips and suggestions. Cause if this is the case, I might use my 32Gb as the internal card and then my 64Gb as the external card - 96GB'S!!! :laugh:
Furthermore could I just use QDLTool after the card has been replaced and copy over my existing build and the boot up? I have LXdroid 0.2 and StreakMod installed.
Tips?

I did do this yesterday, and it works like a charm. The only difficult part was to cut open the streak, but following the 'windows part' of the post was really easy.
I'm using the DSC v1.5 ROM, so probs so far. :good:

96GB? not ambitious enough ...
the internal even supports 64GB microSDXC cards ... so in total.. it would be 64GB + 64GB = 128GB :good:
however... do you have what it takes?

So far that's all I got, or we could wait till they come out with the 128Gb and do that times 2, and have 256Gb's!!!

nice.. when that time comes, i hope i can be in too
This sh!t is hard for somebody that babies their electronics. LMAO
Every lil click I hear I'm like oops uh oh. hahaha
Then also with my tourettes, my hands aren't as perfectly steady as I want them to be sometimes. LoL
(I have the physical fidgity, twitchy kind, not the verbal screaming and cussing kind! =P)
Also does it matter if that second lil piece of plastic is cut too? Or no? The slim piece (After you've cut the main section off), cause it keeps wanting to pop off and up more than the main square section, figured if (it's okay) I removed it it be easier to get the rest of the section up and off.

Free RAM isn't bad RAM IMHO. That old and outdated saying is only applicable to those who only have 512mb RAM or lower because cached sessions are stored in the memory. But if your used up RAM is occupying 3/4 or more of the device even without any applications running then "used RAM is bad RAM" because you don't expect any cached session to use over 1GB of memory. It should only occupy a few hundred MBs. Which means cache aren't the ones occupying your memory but (unoptimized)background apps does.
I don't care of free ram.... if it uses all when it is running ultra smooth, so be it..... that's what counts.... i'm using stock rom with boeffla kernel.
