Possible solution for extra storage !! - Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps

Hi guys,
If any of you bought a 32GB variant of S6 Edge and are wanting more storage (to probably store musics and other stuffs on that, especially for gamers ) then here's the solution :
1. Buy an OTG-DRIVE which is very much portable. (For Example - Strontium Nitro 32GB USB 2.0 OTG Pen Drive) (see how portable it is )
2. Since the stock music player doesn't recognise files stored in your OTG-DRIVE so download "Music Folder Player" and you are good to go !!
Cheers ! Make sure to hit thanks if this helps your day

dude 999 € for a pen drive? just buy a new 128gb device

@fethi2 €999 !!
In India it's damn cheap ....
BTW, you can use your existing pendrive with OTG-CABLE also but it would be rather disturbing to use your device....
(P.S - This thread is for those who had already bought a 32 GB variant )

SanDisk 4GB MicroSD & HTC S620

Hi
Can anyone tell me please , if my HTC S620 can handle this Memory ?
SanDisk 4GB MicroSD / Transflash with SD & Mini Adapter BULK Packaging
Thanx 4 any info ..
nope
______________
Screw the 4GB, I want the 8GB that was announced. That's ridiculous how huge these capacities are getting in such a tiny space.
I would love to get my hands on one and try it out.The guys in a Moto Razr forum that I read alot say that they have partitioned the card to get it to work with the 2gig limit on thier fones.They section off one gig at a time and store music and related type stuff on each gig.Extra storage would nice if I can get my OEM headfones hacked with the big stereo phones to work out.Then I could avoid buying an bigger mp3 player.Maybe host a personal mp3 server for when I travel and d/l stuff overnight to play the next day as .ZIP files.(trying to avoid buying an ipod)

Ah heard THAT! Couldn't agree more. When I show people the 2gb micro SD card from my Dash, they freak! I would love to get my hands on the 8gb. iPhone my ASS!!

16 vs. 32 GB and ROMs

Is anyone having trouble deciding on 16 vs 32GB configurations? Mainly because of the difference in RAM, with 16/2GB and 32/3GB.
Is there a difference in ROM building based on these versions? Or will all ROMs work the same on both versions? Do any other phones have the same thing, having different amounts of RAM? Not sure if I need the extra GB, but I'll have to see what ROMs support first...
This is all hardware. How in any way would it affect software? It just lets people who need more space for music (like me) to have more internal storage and 1 gb more of RAM which is also really good for people who want speed. For those who just use their phone once in a while, they can buy the 16 GB 2 GB RAM one. It all depends on preference.
32gb
I would recommend 32 gb as all the media files will be bigger due to the resolution. With LG's software there will only be 10~11gb of space left for the user

I agree with you about the 32GB model but not for media files. They can go on external SD card right? 128GB on top of 16 will still do for media files.

Oh right, the g3 will have an sd slot. I'd still go for the 32gb for apps (making the files install on the ext sd is a hassle and the apps won't run when you take the sd out)
Wanting to push this thread because i have the same question... I want to see some roms on the g3. But there is still no answer if there is a difference between 2gb and 3gb in building roms.
No problem here...32gb all the way.
Why would anyone choose 16/2 when you have the option of more storage and ram...makes zero sense.
Always buy the better option!
Sent from my Note 3, Note 2 or S4
3gb version all the way!
What is the model number for the 3gb version and where can one buy it.....?
I'm okay with 16 GB of RAM. It wasn't an issue on my Nexus 4 and it isn't an issue on my Nexus 5 and 7. Besides, with an SD card slot, storage isn't an issue.
However, given the option between 2 GB of RAM and 3 GB, I'd go with 3. Always go with more RAM when you have the option.
Problem is that I am in the UK, so only 16gb coming as far as we know. That means I need to compromise on my storage. It will be a hassle to often move my camera pic and videos to SD card, and Whatsapp doesnt allow it.
I dont know which other data intensive apps will also have issues if i try to move to SD card....bit of a minefield.
Any tips would help ?
Shall I just forget about the 16gb version and get a different phone (I do like the look of this one however) ?
Hi all just want to know how much space left available can be used if i take LG G3 16GB ? Thanks

I would guess 10 to 11 gb of space for the apps and data that cannot be moved to the SD card. For me, this will consist of a few apps (metro newspaper eats loads of space !) , and lots of camera pics and videos (high resolution) and loads of whatsapp pics and videos (whatsapp stuff cannot be moved to sd either)
......that is why i am avoiding getting the 16gb version - LG are such s**theads for not selling the 32gb in the UK...makes me so angry !
I sent an email to LG UK support and as expected, they could only tell me that at present the 32gb is not announced for the UK, nor do they know if it will be or when, blah blah blah !!
I already preordered the 32GB version because
- apps getting bigger like GTA
- Offline Navigation like Navigon need alot of space
- Taking pictures and Videos
at least LG sells the 32GB here. HTC won't sell the 32gb M8 and S5 also not available as 32 GB
perfect would be a G3 with 64 GB internal memory

Thanks wyase9 for your info , i really agree with your reason about avoiding geeting the 16gb, but guess i have the same problem like you in my country (indonesia) only get the 16gb version and still don;t know when the 32 Gb will come. My friend in office also said the same like your reason they suggest i wait for the 32gb version ( Hopefully July 2014 will come )

Do they send to US?
i guess so. Amazon.com will ship to Germany, so i guess Amazon.de will ship to USA. The only question would be, if the european model has the needed frequencies for the US and all the carriers
what about ROMs?
Is it that same custom ROM can work on both variants? Only difference i see is an extra gig of RAM. But needed a confirmation if anyone knows

[Q] Do you guys think 16GB is enough ?

For someone that has no Plan for storing Musics and Movies, Is the 16GB enough for Apps & Games? This would be my first Tablet & I'm not sure if I should fort out $100 more for the 32GB version. My local shop sells the 16GB version for $150.
Thanks.
1. Buy a refurbished model for less than $200.
2. I always prefer more storage to less. Lots of people can get by with just 16GB, I can't. If you find that 16GB isn't enough, there's always the Meenova or Leef microUSB card readers or the dual USB sd cards.
I have a 16gb and I am not pressed for space. I would prefer a 32gb, but if you aren't storing large files you'll be fine.
Also, I would recommend checking out your local Staples. They have the 16gb for $98 and 32gb for $128 on clearance. The price doesn't show up until check out which is why not many people know of it.

No music and movies, a 16gb should be fine, whereas you should take into account the space requirements of certain games as they might need a few GB in additional storage for files downloaded (e.g. Racing, shooters etc.). I got personally a 32GB Nexus 7 2013 and store music on it, no movies, a few games (6-7, 1-3 high storage require) and my space is more than enough.
No it isn't. Pony up for the 32gb.
I would say 16GB is "probably" fine for someone who isn't going to store music and movies (movies can take up spectacular amounts of space); I have had my N7 2013 since launch, only use it for a few apps and games and am yet to have any problems with storage space. That said, I am far from a heavy user and nobody can tell what the future may hold in needs and desires from the tablet....
As a rule, I would suggest going for the 32GB model if you can (notwithstanding the reported "its only got 16GB after the update" issue that some have reported) but unless it really is an "unmissable" bargain then there is nothing essentially wrong with the 16GB model.
My answer is probably clear as mud and won't make anything clearer, but meh, we all have our opinion as to what we would do - ultimately it is your decision
I have a 16GB phone (Moto X 2013) and a 32GB Nexus 7 2013. I've never had an issue with space on any of my devices. I didn't get the Nexus for the space, it was just the featured deal on Woot at the time, and happened to be 32GB.
I don't store movies or music on it, I use Pandora and Netflix. I do take photos with my phone, but don't save most of them on the device. They get uploaded to Copy and I usually clear them out just to minimize the clutter. If you record video or take lots of photos on a vacation or something, the space could be eaten up pretty quickly.
But for apps, you're probably fine. The biggest app I have is The Simpsons: Tapped Out, which is just over 1GB with all the updates that it downloads in app. Apps that are content rich can be pretty large. My GF just installed the Assassin's Creed Unity companion app, and it's like 450MB or something. I don't think this is typical for size, most apps I see are <50MB, even for games.
Just my opinion, but I think 16GB is probably fine.

I would go with the 32GB if you plan on gaming. 2-3GB per game adds up fast.

bummer, called all stores within 20miles, no Luck. oh well :crying:
If u intend to install many large games, have a lot of pictures and or videos , get the 32gb. If u don't, then get the 16gb for games and add more temporary space with a USB OTG flash drive or memory card reader when necessary. I regret not buying the 32gb version.
Went from a 32gb grouper to a 16gb flo with little adjustment needed overall, except better management for comics and videos if traveling. Even then, nothing loading a USB drive up with and using OTG couldn't fix
Question, with those USB OTG, Do I have to Copy the file into the internal memory in order to read the file? for instance I have a Movie stored on the USB OTG, Instead of coping it to the Internal drive, Can I just play it off of the Drive on the Tablet? like how a Computer is... You can just play files off of the USB drive.
Of course you can direct play, otherwise what's the point (playing an mkv off thumb drive right now)
OTG cable is pretty great for controllers too
I personally think it is enough, if only because my collection of media is higher than a 32gb or 64gb model would hold anyways. I would rather hook up OTG storage for long trips without wifi. With wifi, I'll just stream everything anyways so it's not a big deal. Plus OTG storage options are generally cheaper than the upgraded storage option on the device itself would be and I can use it on more devices. Just my 2 cents.
I have the 16 and it's plenty. But then I don't store media on it either.
I would also support buying 32GB. I had a 2013 16GB which I finally sold. I travel a fair bit on long flights (>6 hours) and like to have my ebooks and music on the device. The lollipop update reduced the available memory more than kitkat. I had to try my luck in multiple ebay auctions for the 2013 32GB as there seems to a real demand out there. I ended up paying about $20-30 more than what the going price back in December.
I always opt for more storage when possible. Better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it in my opinion.
I have a 16 GB and personally I wish I would have gone with the 32gb model 16gb is just not enough especially if your rooted with a custom recovery and like to keep several backups
Go with the 32gb model definitely worth the few extra bucks

Micro SD Card Alternative?

I have a 64 gb micro sd card and i have a lot of stuff on my sd card to the point that it is almost full. I've been interested in the oneplus 3 for quite a while, mainly cuz of the community support and is more powerful than my phone that I'm currently using (Alcatel onetouch idol 3). I really want to get this phone soon but the only main gripe about this phone is that it doesn't have expandable storage. I was wondering if there is an alternative solution for the micro sd card for the oneplus 3? Ik that there is otg but it would be a hassle to carry it all the time so i would like to know if there is a better alternative? Thx for reading my post
P.S this is my first time on XDA xD
Not sure what you mean, USB OTG and cloud storage are gonna be your only options besides using the internal storage.
I'd recommend putting most of your stuff on the internal storage and carrying a USB-C flash drive for the rest if need be

There are some pretty decent options out there; there's a fairly new one I have yet to really try out called Degoo - 100GB free. https://degoo.com/g/f6Xw9M9
Some other large free options:
Mega - 50GB
hubiC - 25GB
Personally my main cloud goto is Dropbox - only cause it was my first and is easily accessible from any platform. Also, I have 55GB ( was able to get 50gb from some sort of promotion a while back) - if it was the standard 2GB or whatever it is, I would probably have moved on.
You could also look into getting something like a SanDisk Wireless Stick, while it would be something you would have to carry around, it could be a bit more convenient.

I agree with you, but it's 400 dollars with flashship specs so they had to cut corners somewhere. But then again the zte axon 7 is also 400 dollars with same specs (except the ram) and they have expandable storage. So idk why oneplus remove expandable storage in favor of dual sim. But i digress xD

I kinda knew you were going to recommend dropbox xD but I'll give it a shot. I'll look further into the wireless stick as well
Google Drive offers 15GB, Box offer 50GB.
I prefer to use more mainstream cloud storage solutions since less well-known ones with more storage tend to have worse performance and/or randomly go out of business (see Copy.com)
I've been using an OTG card reader and thumb drive and find it more convenient than having an internal sd card since you don't have to worry about removing the back cover or anything like that.

Yea, but the free option is most likely not large enough for the purpose you wish to use it for - so you will need to go with a paid option or find some promotion that'll get you more space.

I have 1TB of OneDrive with my Office subscription, so it's my go-to cloud option.
For OTG, I picked up an Aukey set of two microUSB to Type C adapters and an OTG adapter - no cable, just a solid little adapter - and I've had 64GB USB sticks on it with no issues, even the Logitech USB headset from my computer at work that we use for Skype connected to my OP3 just fine - even the inline volume controls worked! https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01EWD939O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 is the link to the set I bought.

I think i am going more towards a usb c to micro sd card adapter cuz it's less clutter and i don't have to move my files into another sd card, but your otg adapter might be useful as well.
I also have a very very tiny microSD/USB adapter that works very well. I'm all about having adapters for everything! But yeah, a dedicated Type C microSD reader would work well for what you want here.
Wait for some company to make a case with external sd card
Memory stick like this is more useful, has usb-c and usb-a on either side for both phone and computer.

I need help please, new buyer and confused one.

Hi,
I'm from india.
I am interested in buying OP7T 256GB, but I want to know few things about it. As it will be my 1st device without memory card.
1.
If I have to format the internal memory is there any way to keep the data unharmed? Without losing it?
2.
Can I create partition on internal memory like we can do on computer hard-disk? Like C: drive for Operating system & D: drive for my data not to get deleted if format is needed, etc?
OR
2a.
OP7T 128GB & OTG 128GB pendrie will be good for data storage?
3.
Is wireless bullet 2, really worth the money? Or better to go for type C headphones, or better to go for dongle, for 3.5mm headphones?
4.
Any coupon available? & How to use it? (Sorry if not allowed to ask, I'll delete it)
Any help?
Oh damn, no reply?
Stupid question I guess!!!
Ok!
Admin please delete this thread.
Just in case someone is interested..
I decided to go with 128gb model + 128gb OTG pendrive.
As 256gb need 4k more, and quality 128gb otg pendrive is for 3k max.
Why?
As I download lots of YouTube video's, and stores lot's of pdf and other documents, on memory card, & OP7T has no memory card support. And there is no option for memory partition, atleast, like the way I want.
So sudden bricking of phone or something, may cause huge data loss, that is my concern.
Regarding wireless bullet 2, buying them.
Checked in store.
