Galaxy 8gb? 2gb is missing

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

[Q] Disable Webtop

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!

HTC 6435LVW, 5 inch phablet, interesting?

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.

Planning to buy Moto G4 Plus

Hello Guys,
I am planning to buy Moto G4 plus indian variant. I have few questions in mind and i hope I'll get answers to my question here.
1. My primary concern is heating. Heard loads of comments here and there on heating. Even after migrating to nougat, some guys still raise their eyebrows on device heating.
2. Overall performance/fluidness of device.
3. Battery backup.
Thanks in advance.

I get all day charge running on pure stock with no problem. LTE on Verizon towers works awesome and the phone runs fluent all day long. I don't game on it really but for email,messages,web browsing, Facebook. It works flawless. I have a regular G4.

1. Yes, the device heats. but it depend on the type of user. I'm a moderate user with no gaming at all and the device works fine. If you are a heavy user stay away from this device, as this device heats up faster. (For gamers a big NO)
2. Performance and smoothness is great specially with N beta.
3. N beta improved the battery life (5 hours SOT with 24 hours battery life is easily achieved.)
If you can save up some more, go for one plus 3 or 3T, as I dont feel the quality of G4 matches previous moto phones.
Anyways the choice is yours.

NO. NO.NO
DONT LISTEN THEM WHO SAYS THAT .
1. it was heating at some extent on MM 6.0 but on nougat not at all . just litle bit while recording 1080 p video after few minutes .
i use 720 p because of huge space occupied by 1080 p almost 20 to 25 MP per minute!!
2 i am using CM 14.1 and playing modern combat 5 without any heating or lags !!! i was stunned by its performance .
before that i was confused about my choice as i was thinking that I made mistake but now happy to have g4 plus
screen shots of lots of game play nearly 2 hours continuously and tempature never crossed 43 . i think this is normal temp. for high end gaming

Goodbye Gionee - Mixed fellings

This is it. The sold my Elife E7 and ordered a LeEco Le 2 X520.
it was more than 2 years with this device and now i feel that this is reason enough for this goodbye review.
Hardware
A very good device, very resilient and powerfull CPU, RAM response fast enough.
The camera was the plus factor. Photos and Movies were very good. Down side: No 4k or slow-motion recording....
The thin plastic borders on the left and right sides protected very well the screen on every drops... Very smart...
No 4G its now a deal breaker...
The battery was disapointing... Lately i notest that rebooting the device changed the charge value... Weird...
If the device was charging and i rebooted it, it would "gain" 20% more battery... If the phone was unplugged it would "lost" 20% battery.... Maybe in the beginning a full charge lasted a whole day, but that changed fast...
Lately it was so unstable that in some days i would charge it 3 times to 100% and other days it lasted a full day reaching about 23:00 with 50/40% of battery [it seems awesome, but its not...]
This values were obtained were a very similar usage
- Google Play Music + Bluetooth all day
- Social media 70/80% of the day
- Wireless and mobile data always on
- Video streaming about 20/30% of the day
Software
The dark side... Gionee support ended on Kitkat.
The hardware misture used by Gionee engeneering just was to complicated to master
Custom ROMs based on Kitkat had no NFC support and there were some overheating issues, custom roms from Lollipop foward has a fatal flaw: No camera! The most awesome feature of this device...
Stock ROM also had some RAM management issues, for instance the used apps were never closed until you reboot the device, otherwise they would be running on backgroung sucking RAM up...
So its goodbye...
And rest sure that i'll never buy another device from Gionee again...
New times are coming:
LeEco Le 2 X520

Also a Qualcomm CPU device with interesting features, and the ROM support is at Nougat level...
Good luck for the Gionee Elife E7 left users...

I' m also waiting for my leeco x520.
