When I go on on Quandrant Information on my Galaxy Note 2, I saw 1.75gGB RAM and I was like wtf? I go on System Information and I see Memory- Total:1834220kB, which is 1.75GB.
When I go on the stock Task Manager, and click on the RAM tab, I see xx/1.75GB
I am very confused as we are told the device will have 2GB of ram. Can someone please clarify this? Thanks!
That because its formatted and being used my system.

Its like formatting a storage device it never shows the full amount of GBs
Sent from my SGH-T889
You never ever get to use the full amount in any memory device. Sd cards inside the phone are exactly what they sound like. ....sd cards. If you buy a 32 gb sd card you will notice that you only really get 29 gb of space. Another unknown fact about sd cards that most don't know is that they have their own on board processor. Fact for the day

But ram isn't a sd card. Or is ram in a phone different than that of a pc? I've never heard of having to format ram.

I'm running the stock ROM on my GS3 and I don't get an option to "Move to SD card".
I do get that option on my Fascinate running CM10.
Is there any way to enable this?
Don't think you can moves apps to sd.. Unless you got it rooted or running a custom rom .. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

I recently bought a 32gig card from amazon for about £13 which i thought was good. I dont have the option to install apps tp sd card. I did have an app for it but it didnt seem to work so i just have mainly music and videos on my card
I'm sorry I should have made it clear. If you're running a custom rom like cm10 then you can move to sd.

I called tmobile but was told they won't be able to receive any higher versions. I don't know if the guy knew what he was talking about or not.
Any idea when these will come out? if ever
Until they stop selling in Korea. In Korea they only have the 32 and 64GB models. They don't have a 16GB model there.

Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
I'm thinking of returning mine and waiting on a higher memory model, basically because Samsung didn't include Apps2SD capabilitiy even when the developer allows for it. The full version of "Need for Speed" alone ate 1.8 GB of RAM or almost 20% of available memory. I thought the advertised 16 GB would be enough but since less than 11 is actually available, apps are getting bigger, and I hope to use the phone for a long time I'm thinking that waiting on at least the 32 GB version might be a better plan.

Yes, exactly the reason why bigger internal space is great for apps. Music, video and photo could stay on the SD Card.
You guys know that with a custom kernel and flashing a .zip through CWM will swap the internal and external memory right? In other words, you can get a 32gb card and that will function as your phones memory and the 16gb would be treated like the external... Just sayin'

Yup! Still yet, I'm sure TM will at least get a 32gb real soon....and even a 64gb....hence, the timed release of the SIII 16gb and 32gb....
It's all released when it is on purpose...up sales!

Sure it's circumvent convenient but not a deal breaker when I can insert a multitude of sd cards as needed and my library can grow with me.then again it's just a cell. Higher pricing just for added storage when you can get a base model and use as many sd cards as you need for free...all 16 32 & 64 iPhones do the exact same thing...don't provide an sd slot...the galaxy s3 16 & 32 do the same thing but one cost more money lmao....they are playing so many consumers it's not that deep be smarter than the carriers

Try directory bind from XDA. I dont have to the link but searching should help. If you can't find it I'll get the link for you.
thank you!!!
Or use the mod that swaps your internel and external memory. You need a kernel that supports it (like Perseus) and if you have a 64gb card your phone will think it has 64gb internal with a 16gb external. That's what I'll do when 128gb cards become available
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
Hi there,
Just use directory bind, it's extremely easy to use and is free. I moved a lot of my stuff to my micro sd and have over 8 gigs left now on internal. I could free the whole thing but im only installing small apps on the internal now so it should last forever.

Yes you could. I purchased the full version for use with my s3 and s4 and it works a treat. However, is it really necessary with 32gb?

How about these differences??
Faster processor at 2300 Mhz vs 1600
More internal storage 32gig vs 16gig
Better camera1013 megapixels vs 8, shoots video in 3840x2160 4k and 1080p HD
More RAM 3gigs vs 2gigs
Oh, and maybe a 64 gig SD card will actually work with this one lol

All these are good points but the Note 2 can use a 64gb SD card. The Note 3 is also suppose to have inferred as well. So you can use your phone as a remote control.

If you can find a Note II user that uses a 64gb card with no issues then let me know so I can find out their setup. Nobody that I know is able to use one. Not even on a completely stock phone. There are always issues that should not be there.
Meh I guess to eaches own note 3 doesn't really grab my attention as the note 2 did if I consider any device on the horizon its up coming nexus depending on the screen size
