[Q] Who else regrets buying a 16gb Galaxy S3?

I knew I should have gotten it. But wasn't sure at the time if I needed that much space. With stock, it just kinda gets eaten very quickly and cannot move apps to SD card. I regret buying a 16gb model.

Then sell it and get a 32GB

Whoever regrets buying it, i doubt would still be here buddy so go post such thread elsewhere. You can move apps via third party app btw. And u mind sharing how many apps u have installed cuz i got 120 and still there is plenty of storage left. (Trying really hard not to call u a troll)

How do you eat up ~10gigs in apps??

Try to search the forum and look for DirectoryBind app

I bought a 16 gig sd card to replace the 2 gig hold over from my Vibrant. Does me well.
T-Mobile Galaxy S 3, stock and rooted.

Have you ever though about Custom room? works well or everyone and most of the geeky Android users are now on custom rom, it will give you freedom of space, you can install your App anywhere you want but remember that some Apps are bound to install in phone memory, you cannot do anything about that because it's better on phone memory.
Rest, you can install anywhere you want, it's up to you.

You checked "Yes this is a question"
Guess where it belongs?

I'm just wondering how many people thought the 16gb model was smaller than it should be. With stock, there's a lot of bloat. I rooted last night and installed FrostyJB and love it. I'm going to get a 32gb soon. I love the Galaxy S3. Its amazing. I will never go to another manufacturer. Been here since the Vibrant. Never going to leave.
And I didn't think this would be worthy of Q&A. Sorry if I posted in the wrong place.

I have a lot of 1-3 gig apps. My SD card is broken or something. It's empty and the camera won't save photos to it. I'm just keeping it in as a dust repellent.

I know it's the format. It worked on my Vibrant though. And that's the weird part. I'll buy a 32 or 64 gig soon. Thanks for reminding me that it was the format!

I'll regret my Galaxy S3, when a viable T-Mobile HSPA+/LTE powered Exynos 4 Quad /w 2GB of RAM and Jelly Bean++ to start with gets launched. But I'm not expecting to see that (and a Note II likely to gargantuation for me).
So I'm pretty happy as long as I don't drop it .

Why? Why? Why? Put a case on it now and wrap in bubble wrap for the rest of the week.
I got the 16 and totally forgot how Samsung divies up their storage. 16 - 2gb for RAM - 2gb for data/apps = 12.05gb left. Had I remembered that, I would've definitely bought the 32gb.
So it goes. I have a 32gb card but it supports 64, so no worries atm. I have a 32gb tablet with a 32gb SDcard and a keyboard dock with a 32gb full sized SD. More than enough storage for me.

Doesn't S3 accept USB flash drive through adapter, so you can get up to 80GB of storage.

I forget where I read it but there's an app or setting or something that switches your phones system to using the external sd card for EVERYTHING. So basically for the $30 sd card you just got a 32gb phone.

I don't regret it one bit. Best phone I've owned.

SD Card Thread

As you guys know (or if you don't, you will now) that many manufacturers are releasing phones in which do not have an external SD card and are banging us over by providing really low storage option inside of phones. What got me thinking is that there is a 64GB SD card on sale for 40 bucks at certain retailers and i wanted to buy one and then i came out with the thought that, almost every new phones coming out doesn't have a slot for the SD card. Sure the s3 does but i wont have the s3 forever. What would you guys do?
I know some say, turn to cloud but lets be realistic (at least here in the states). For starters, t mobile doesn't have the best coverage meaning internet is not available everywhere which means if you go visit grandma's farm, you are bored to death and forced to play with cows or ride horses (although riding horses should make you put your phone down lol). Lets say you have glorious verizon with its "great" LTE network and coverage. Well then you are stuck at 2GB or what ever plan you have. point is that you are stuck, so once over the threshold, you are going to get rocked with a fee.
Taking a more personal look, my SD card consists mostly of music (7GB, 800 songs and counting..I like my songs high quality ala 320kbps mp3/aac or 1000kbps Flac), I have 2 nandroids (1 for stock TW JB and the other for AOSP...you know these can make dents on the SD card, apps that require large amounts of data on the SD card.) so right off the bat, i dont need a 64 gb but i know in the future (give or take 2 years, ill HAVe to go that high.)
What are your thoughts? should i just get it anyway? what do you think can be done to get the attention of manufacturers about this issue? any other thoughts?

I'm pretty sure that Samsung has no plans to get rid of the sd card slot.

Being a professional photographer on the side... I will give you this advic - nothing less than a class 10 card, and nothing else besides sandisk or PNY

I've heard enough about how finicky the 64Gb cards can be that I decided to go for 32Gb. 32Gb is only $20. If $20 is still more than you want to spend, 16Gb is like, $10 or less. For $10, does it really matter if you're going to use it forever ? I mean, the phone likely cost many times that and has a limited lifespan of its own.
Just get whatever you're comfortable paying for.

I just bought a SanDisk 32G sd card, but it won't mount. When I try, it said blank sdcard or unsupported files. I tried formatting it but I get the same message. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am confused why the biggest concern for people when buying these things is simply cost. Sure you can pick up a 32 GB card for 10 bucks... But when it crashes on you a year from now, and the cheap ones typically do, don't come posting a thread here asking why it doesn't mount or why all of your stuff is mysteriously missing from your card. QUALITY people... Not quantity. Its like putting $30 tires on your Ferrari and wondering why it doesn't handle the way it is supposed to. I have had my PNY class 10 card for almost 2 years now with no issues, and yes it was a little more expensive but it is way more reliable than these cheap ass Kingston and no name class 2 or 4 cards that people throw into these things.
Both of the sandisks I have owned have crashed on me. A 16 and 8 GB. Never again will I cheap out on SD cards. Its not worth losing 2 years or a year's worth of data.

I've been buying 32s and compatible 64s every chance I get.
SD slots will be with us for the long haul.

Nexus phones set the standard.
i'm sure more devices will come out without SDCard and removable batteries...
i was actually quite surprised the Galaxy S3 got both good deals, since the Galaxy Nexus had no removable storage..and then HTC came along with their brilliant plan of the One Series...

I totally disagree! I don't think Nexus phones set the standard. I do understand that Google would like to gently nudge us all into using the cloud, but I will go kicking and screaming all the way. I hope they come to their senses and support choice like they should.

Get it.
I think you should get it. You might need it down the road. And even if you don't need it right away, it's still be handy to have. I have a 16GB card now, but I'll get a 32 or higher later on.
And you're right, these lack of SD slots are crazy.

Got the 64GB for Christmas.
If anyone is interested..this is where my sister/brother bought it from...

I think the bigger question is whether we should start training ourselves to use the cloud rather than relying on our sd cards. But I still say the answer is no. Samsung is a big enough player that they can dictate design rather than be dictated to. I don't think they'll abandon these removable parts anytime soon. Maybe in 5 years, Samsung will have their own cloud offering and will force us to use it in lieu of local storage. MAYBE.

I think we really lack the infrastructure to go cloud-only for things like music and movies. The cell towers aren't everywhere - many people can't stream everything even if they want to. People still want to watch movies or listen to music on an airplane without having to pay (or compete for bandwidth if the air carrier is nice enough to let people have at it for free).
I think there are many valid situations when the cloud is simply not an option.

I would buy it. I got a SanDisk 64th class 10 for$39.99 at best buy online a while ago. I am on completely stock with root only and using the apps2external mod by zedomax . Now I have 60gb internal storage and my regular internal storage is now my external storage . Quite convenient...

I got the same card, inserted it, mounts fine, copied a bunch of music to it, works great. However, it doesn't "click" when you press it in, and won't eject! Other than that, works fine. Is there some trick I don't know about? Any advice? I don't want to damage it or my phone in the process of removing it. so far, I've just not worried about it, but at some point I'll want to eject it...

It sounds like an issue with your phone. Do you have the problem with other cards as well? The mechanism to eject its part of the phone hardware and really not related to the card. My card ejects fine. I just have to push it in and it will then be ejected...

Please just make a nexus with great battery and sd slot

Maybe its just me but the only things I want now in a phone are a huge battery (ala razr maxxx), expandable memory (16GB with no sd slot is a joke in 2012 with so much hd video and mp3s being twice the size they used to be), and some up to date google software. I dont need a quad core phone or more than 2GB of ram or 1080p resolution on anything smaller than a tablet. My galaxy nexus is still plenty powerful enough to do what I need it to now if only it could last all day and let me throw on 20GB of music.
I would love to see a version of the S4 or something that has no touch wiz and gets updates right from google.

Battery technology is the same as its been for almost a decade. All they do is add mah. That's why batteries universally suck.
Sd is the past. It's slower than nand and just adds a fairly useless port to the phone. Hate to break the to you but neither of your requests are happening.

SD card slot isn't gonna happen, because Google wants you to use their online content services rather than fill an SD card with your own stuff. That's why they're selling the N4 for so cheap (in some countries...).

thats not the reason.......
they said it is because it can be confusing to the every day user....where are pictures being saved? where are documents going? and i guess i can see that. i just wish they would let us choose to be "confused" or not.
but FWIW, i am completely content with my 32GB gnex...and would actually be ok with 16gb version as well as i have about 21GB free space. as long as i have unlimited data, i am OK with 16GB on a phone. its a little different on a tablt though, as i like watching videos on them more than i do the phone.
as for the big battery, its coming. just wait. although current phones are starting to be pretty good on battery. the Gnex is pretty bad, but even the S3 almost doubles our battery life.

I've been under the impression a large part of it is the costs of paying MS licensing fees for SD tech.
I've got unlimited data so with the exception if the few times I have no signal, the cloud works just fine for me.

Sure, there are also issues with data being split between internal and external storage, but if you think the Play Store is not a factor at all you are delusional. Why do you think Google only offers the N4 with the rather pathetic storage options of 8 and 16 GB? They should have gone with at least 16/32, but they didn't, and I'm very certain that wasn't just a matter of cost.

Honestly my biggest issue isnt that I dont have storage, but my carrier is giving me less data to use. Something has to give one way or another. Either we need to store things on our phone (movies music tv) or we can stream it. We cant have none the storage and none the data from the carriers the equation simply doesnt work. Personally I would rather stream all my content except most content streaming source's quality isnt good enough. If I want to listen to music from grooveshark I dont want some half assed mp3 rip; I want flac.
Naturally battery life is going to suck, although ive been able to make it bearable with the battery upgrade, a decent rom ( i run Xenon) and franco/lean kernel. Sadly this only makes it bearable though and thats spending how much time and effort right out of the box to make it that? total BS.

+1 SD card
I would just like an SD card so that when I'm flashing ROMs and totally bork my Nexus up, I can recover from the external SD card. The other day during a flash something went wrong and erased my backup images and backup ROM zips. I couldn't connect via ADB to push ROMs or use ODIN recovery. An SD card would've allowed me to recover in a few minutes vs a few hours. This especially makes sense, since a lot of developers use the Nexus devices. It would allow them to recover more easily or boot test ROMs from an external SD card.

Developers and users who know how their device was meant to be recovered dont use Odin. They use fastboot.
People have to realize, for all that the device is, it is a Google device first than it is a Sammy device.
One more thing, if you couldn't use adb while in recovery, you didn't do it right. 100% sure.
To recover a Nexus, there's no need, AT ALL, for a external sdcard.

I don't understand why people feel the need to carry 20gb of music with them everywhere they go. You obviously won't even listen to anywhere near that amount of music in a day unless you keep it on the whole day, highly doubting that. Not trying to be rude but can someone who keeps that much music on their phone try to show me their point of view?

SD cards... old technology man. Get up to date. Is cloud storage now. And huge data with prepaid how this phone is to be used since it is unlocked. The best carrier with the best deal. Use the cloud top steam your stuff. Only thing that needs to be fixed is Google drive to stream movies. At that, if you root and install flash you can use desktop site and stream your movies.

I would love to have an SD card. The cloud sucks. When u don't have fast internet in the area ur in, when trying to access pictures or videos from the cloud. Forget about it. SD cards are way better then the cloud imo. I can't store all my games data in the cloud. I have like 10 games I bought but I can't install them because they are about 2gbs a piece. Plus I still have some music, HD movies and photos. So if Google isn't going to give us an SD card. Which I know they won't. At least give us an option for a 64gb, 32gb version of the gsm galaxy nexus. I can live with 32 or 64gbs of internal memory. Then I won't need an SD card slot.

I kinda get the complaining about the phones only having 16g or 32, but with an SD at 64g now honestly I dont see an issue, Im one that does NOT use the cloud , but 16g on the phone for the apps themselves and 64g for my music and such is fine. Im sure the 128g SD will not be too far off. Its just the way it is now and you will have to adapt, you can complain all you want but ALL phones are taking this path so you will either deal with it or well whine about it and deal with it. Just be glad Samsung so far has kept the SD...imagine them saying hey they want a 64g phone, but lets take the SD out like everyone else. That would suck even more. With the cloud taking over as the future they do not see the need for 64g phones with SD slots. The majority will never use that so its not worth it for only the diehards. I do think they need to change it so we can use the SD for apps like it was before without hacking and trickery. This would solve alot of issues.

The cloud? Now why would I want to put all my stuff on someone else's computer? Its useful for work but nothings more practical then being able to access my stuff without data and wifi

That is the reason I rejoiced when I saw HTC financial report. It seems that consumers spoke clearly, and chose Samsung over HTC, even though HTC phones look better and have nicer screens. Samsung and Sony seem the only ones that still understand that consumers may want a microSD card. So maybe not all hope is lost.

the issue is if you dont root you cannot put many programs such as gps maps on the external card. you need to root to do it.. Such as sygic navigon etc. and can quickly fill up the internal sd .

Guy I am talking about a 32gb phone. I cannot use a 12gb (16gb phone)...By the time you install some apps and heavy games, you are left with maybe 5gb...I need space to shoot HD movies and photos...16gb is not enough...

Your camera will store it's data on the SD card if you tell it to.

Sure it can!
Just get a good quality class 6 and above SD card and you'll do just fine

Depends on the codec used to encode the images.
Could be a lot more than that.

SanDisk dual 16gb flash drive

Just picked one of these up and I gotta say it's one of the best things I've gotten for the android phone. Able to keep it with me and all my backups and such right in my pocket and not cluttering up my phone

If you care to check it out.

That is nice! Might have to grab me one. My 32 gig in the phone is just not cutting it anymore.

Sweet!

interesting device. I'm not not sold on the transferring file thing. Yes, it's true, but a USB cable does the same thing, LOL.
I do think it's a nice way to be able to store files that one may use on both devices a bit more easily, especially for those that don't like hooking up their phones to a PC (this would not be this crowd overall).

Wish that Samsung being the world leaders in memory production and distribution they are would be paving the way of much higher memory. You think they would.
I think even dual memory chips would be awesome. Nokia did it like 6 years ago even.

At first I thought 'I don't need this', then that turned into 'hey, I should get one of those things' so I ordered a 32gb one on Amazon for about $20 including shipping.

If your like me and can't stand having all your backups on your phone/sd card taking up alot of space. Then this is a good device to have as you can still have your backups or whatever you like with you at all times. For me there's been a time or two where my Rom was working just fine but after a few hours out of the house my phone would lock up and keep doing it. And my backups were at home. With this device that no longer is a problem.

Oh yeah. This is something I'll be picking up.
