Is it 8GB for os + apps and 8GB for media? Or maybe a new file system with Gingerbread that does not allow USB mass storage but all 16GB for os + apps + media?
It's most likely 1-2gb for apps and the rest for /sdcard/ this is how the Vibrant is.
You'll never fill up 2gb worth of apps...
So we are probably looking at roughly 14gb of available data stock? That's not that bad after all, most people are dealing with a 16gb microSD anyways. At least this will be faster... they should have made it 32gb or at least have the option... my heart is broken to have no removable storage (almost a deal-breaker)
It's not too terrible honestly. It's fully accessible when plugged into a PC. It's simply an internal SD card... Just copy the files off if you want them moved. No huge deal imho. Not that I wouldn't have preferred it to be external (bought a new 16GB class 4 for nothing)

Developers cite the lack of app memory as a reason why they don't port games to Android. I'm disappointed Google hasn't addressed this issue yet beyond Apps2SD, which only moves part of programs.
As a comparison, on my late iPhone 3G, I filled up 2GB in apps in a couple hours. Myst alone was around 700-800MB.

Err what? That's the point of the SD Cards. It is very easy for an game to download it's resources onto the SD Card... I own an iPad. Android and iPad do things differently. Both approaches work.
The Nexus S actually has two flash parts -- 512MB of onenand and 16GB emmc. The onenand hosts the bootloader, kernel/ramdisk, radio firmware, and the cache partition (yaffs2). The emmc part hosts /system (ext4), /data (ext4), and /sdcard (vfat).

I believe the /data partition which holds the apps(AFAIK) is about 1 GB from the screenshots.
very disappointing that over a year after the moto droid launches, we have moved to internal storage (which should give more room for more memory) and we are still stuck at 16gb
The galaxy S line works like this:
2GB /Data partition for apps
13GB /sdcard partition that acts exactly like an SD card.
The extra missing 1GB is most likely the system storage.
The storage for app is about 1GB. See screenshot from Engadget :
http://www.engadget.com/photos/google-nexus-s-hands-on/#3644046
See screenshot no. 45.
There you go, happy?
I think I am fine with it. Right now I am using HTC Desire with its pathetic 40MB storage for app. So, 1GB is a huge upgrade for me
Check Engadget, they explain that apps can be placed in the internal extra space to substitute for the lack of SD card, still not great but at least you know Google knew this would be an issue, and fixed it. Honestly, the market is full of great 3d games, if I were to download all of the great 3d games in the market, I would still have enough space on the device for my 5 gigs of music, they don't take that much space.
Well not only you lose external SD you also lose 1GB of internal application storage
GalaxyS has 2GB free of application storage
Nexus S only has 1GB
Seriously dont get all these cut backs
BTW the 13GB is same on both phones

Original:
To those of you with the 16GB phone in hand, could you post a screenshot of the Storage screen? Androidcentral's review of the 32GB model says that the 32GB is partitioned into 12GB of "phone storage" (for apps) and 12GB of "internal sd". I was all set with getting the 32GB version, but this has now given me pause. Can it be re-partitioned to be one single large partition for apps? If not, I would just go for the 16GB version (assuming it has similar amount of space for apps) and spend the $50-saved on a 32GB MicroSD card.
Yea it is a buzz kill on 32g it saves 12 to USB storage and 12 to internal sd card im getting the 16 gb
Any chance the Dev's will come up with something that will allow us to change this?

I would think so. The guys in the Nook Tablet forum provided a way to repartition that thing from it's miniscule 1GB of user space.
12 + 12 = 24. Where is that last 8GB? O/S reserved space or something?

I think so too, but if it is, then the 16GB crowd will only have 8GB divided between apps and data (before adding a micro SDHC card), that blows.
Totally sucks on the 32gb version which I switched to and ended up waiting longer for. I do hope there is a way to repartition them to one.
This is where I'm at now. Just a few essential apps and a few pics. Haven't put me sd card in yet

Thanks tkemack! Seems like without re-partitioning, both 16GB-models and 32GB-models will run out of app space at the same time. That's assuming that Android Central really does have the 32GB version...

I was expecting the 32GB version to have 28GB (12GB+16GB) in a single partition. There's really no reason not to have exactly 16GB more than the 16GB-model. I guess we'll see next week when people get the 32GB-model in hand. Hopefully someone will post a screenshot in this thread.

I'm hoping the website is wrong as I see no point to partitioning it. Isn't the GNex on Sprint 32GB? Maybe someone who has one of those can shed some light on if theirs is partitioned.
is this something we errrrrrr (the devs) can change ?
This makes me glad I got the 16gb! I was having a hard time deciding, but I figured I could just throw in a 32gb sd card if I start to run out of space. I doubt I'll actually use 16gb just for apps.

Therefore, Deep Grey is the best.
And, for those of us with Unlimited Data on our rooted phones, WiFi only is best.
I like the white 16gb. Just pop in a 64/32GB memory card and your good to go
A grey, 32gig with a 64gig card in it (like mine, for example ) is even gooder to go. And, really, compared to other tablets, an extra 16gig internal for $50 is a bargain.
Plus, don't forget that without rooting, you can only install apps to the internal memory, so 16gig could become a problem.

I love the white color to it though. If white had came in a 32gb I would have been all over it. i Guess the limited storage space is a sacrifice I'll have to make. If I find it becomes a problem I might consider exchanging for a grey 32g

You do know that the external memory card is good only for storing pics,videos,datas,doc etc. but most apps if not all specially games which eats a lot of space can only be installed on your pecious internal storage so having at least 32gb. Internal is a plus.

oh yes, i did some research before buying.

To be honest, white looks cleaner and better on video and in pictures; however, when I went to the stores to check it out, deep gray also looked okay (I think I just prefer gunmetal gray over .. the blueish gray that it is) and kind of pretty as well.

The internal memory formats out to about 1.1 GB for apps and app data. You can try moving some apps over to your SD card if you're getting low on space.
By "4G" they mean HSPA+. The theoretical max download speed is 14.4 mbps, though you'll never see that. It's as fast as you're going to get on a 2 year old device, though. The fastest I've gotten was slightly over 8 mbps on T-mobile.
I actually should correct myself: the internal memory is advertised as 4GB, but it's less. 768MB is probably used for hibernating, mentioned in another thread.
Since part of the internal memory goes to system (AKA "ROM"), and part (small) goes also to baseband and other partitions, you're left with 1.1GB. Expected, and enough for just about anything.
"4G" has too many meanings, and in marketing only refers to the ability of the device to go over the "3.5G", which is standard HSDPA 7.2Mbps, without actually regarding the way it uses (higher speed HSPA or LTE). It's a false use, but it's common and all over the place.

If you want a phone that doesn't have any OS - you can have it with 768MB of RAM.
If you want Linux OS to run in this memory - it needs a ramdisk for kernel. Which takes memory. Which isn't reported to you, since it's not part of available memory and can't be used. As estallings15 wrote, this is how things work.

Possibly ICS/Sense4 thing? Just checked, my GB reads 621MB. In any case it's not like you can use this space, my guess is that it's just the same number being added to counter of total RAM and removed from counter of free RAM, to avoid questions like in this thread. Psychological effect...
Hello guys,
As my sandisk 64 gig UHS1 microsd card became overcrowded, I would like to share with you my project of being able to fit a 128 gig SD card on my xperia play.
It's a Kingston Class 10 128 GB full size SD card (no 128 microsd on market yet. no money for an sandisk UHS1, as it is double the price -but the write speed is pretty much the same in my tests, so.... ).
This is not fake. The screens are from my own beloved xplay. I have the phone for everyday use (no hanging stuff from it).
I will come back with some details of how I pulled this of, if anybody is interested and after I finish with my exams. :|
As checking the screens below, remember that I have partitioned the card in 3: one 108gig FAT32 partition for storage, one 7.88 gig ext4 partition for link2sd and one 768 meg partition for swap. and that I have many many tweaks and optimisation in order to keep it smooth with all that software on it

Could I ask a question?
Would this not be achievable by partitioning your sdcard for example half of it as ext1-4 and attempt to use it as two separate cards?
Anyway very nice work.

I don't really understand your question but what I can tell you is that the "main" partition, the partition that will be your /sdcard, storage partition, should be FAT32. I didn't tried ext for /sdcard. I donno if it works.
If you like to use a card let's say as m stick and sdcard for your phone, yes you could make two partition. The first one will be mounted for your phone as /sdcard (mmcblk0p1) and the rest wont't be used (if you don't use link2sd or swap).
For those who don't know: The advantages of having a second ext partition for link2sd are:
- The software you have installed on /sdext do not stop when you unmount your sdcard in order to connect if to your PC
- The software installed on sdcard keeps dalvik cache on internal and you cannot link it individually if you, let's say, link the entire dalvik cache with link2sd (dalvik for the software on sdcard will be ommited and kept on internal). You can only link dalvik if the software is on internal or on sdext partition.
For the rest I meant to use as a separate card. Swap partitions.

First of all whatever drive (USB thumb, hard drive, etc.) you will buy you have less then what advertize. Second. You have Android OS taking space on your 64gb.

That's about standard formatting on not only USB drives, but regular hard drives. You never get the full advertised storage.

It's the same for me, so there must be a lot of junk on board. Most of the Google apps are installed. In custom ROMs, you decide how many.

After formatting you get around 59gb. With Android OS and your apps installed you roughly have 5gb used. So yes 10gb. Thats what mine is.
Nothing you can really do about it..

32GB Version of Nexus 6P here and inside Marshmallow MTC20F using my a common file manager, I have access to a maximum 25.01 GB storage.
Just informing you! But yea it will be really waste of precious time to try free some GB, even if a way can exist.
It is normal, lets say it is normal. It is 10 whole GB throught ... Duh impossible to explain, do you run 7.1 and the size of OS is that huge?

Let's take a deep breath and all say the following:
OK Google! Hahah
Yawn... Another one of these threads.
The OS has to go someplace..
Hello guys,
The Android system itself does not occupy 10 GB. The answer you are looking for is that the storage capacity advertised is in Gigabytes (base 1000), whereas the storage capacity reported by the phone is in Gibibytes (base 1024).
So there you have it:
32 GB = 29,8023 GiB
64 GB = 59,6046 GiB
128 GB = 119,209 GiB
Also, please keep in mind that this is the total flash drive storage. However, your phone has many partitions (boot, recovery, system, userdata, etc.) and each one of them occupies space. What you see is the "userdata" partition size.

This applies to pretty much all storage devices (hard drive, thumb drive, etc) being sold on the market. Advertised to the public in decimal but represented in binary in the system.
