[Q]Storage - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

Hi!
I just got myself an HTC Raider 4G LTE (Canadian Vivid) and I was just wondering about the phone storage. Why is it that there is only 8.83 GB available when it is advertised that this phone has 16 GB internal memory?

A lot of phones do this... they are advertised as having x amount of internal storage but a chunk of it is reserved for stuff the phone needs (the stock apps? htc sense?)
It seems this thread has a conversation about it

*See here for Vivid root progress*

Hey guys, our own GSLEON3 has just started working with EvilDevnull. Evil has a pretty good track record with being able to exploit devices, so I think we might be in luck. However, EvilDevnull was banned from XDA for reasons I won't go into. So please, do not link his site, but you are allowed to link his twitter. TO FIND HIS SITE, google "s-off think tank" and you will find his forum with his name in the url. Register with the forum and you are in. Recently, Evil was only working on the HTC Rezound but GSLEON3 was able to get him to add a Vivid section on the forum since the two devices are so alike. So check in on the Vivid or Rezound sub forums to see what's going on. This thread is for root discussion only, please do not start drama about Evil or you may face the consequences with a mod.
Very cool. Thank you for the update. Just signed up
Thanks slapshot30. Things are going in the right direction

Hoping to learn more and more specifically learn enough to help with rom development...
I'm a Web Developer by trade, but pretty excited about the 'Holiday', finally being a real device.
Excellent!!!
I am really dissapointed because this is the first HTC phone I get that I can not modify to my like. I like it hardware wise but miss the overclocking and twicking and so. I just wish it was rooted. So I am going to fork some cash for a moto razr from local carrier that has the same freq than Ma Bell and put this baby In its box until its been rooted. I like it enough to hold on to it and I realy don't like the Sammys, I remember my cappi being unstable and feeling like a chinesse counterfeit of a nicer product.
The razr is rooted so Ill have Enough

The people with skill to fix the ril are busy trying to figure out what was done to fix ril on sense 4.1...once that's figured out I'm sure someone will step up...patience is virtue...something all us vivid owners should have...we've been pretty spoiled this last month or two, but let's not turn into spoiled brats constantly whining for more (not saying you guys are whining...just don't want to see it happen in the future)

It's a Verizon One. That's the point.

one question about this phone

hi all i just want to know i heard that htc one come with 32 and 64 giga no 16 giga is that true ? because to buy this great phone but no sd card slot and can any one tried it advice me to buy it or not ? i love it too much
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda premium
Yes thats true no 16gb version.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Well there kind of is a 16gb option that's not out yet. The Google edition (running pure Android) is reported to have 16. But the ones with sense and currently available are all 32 or 64gb.
Some people really do need the sd card, for ROMs, movies, music, etc. I'm not one of those people my 32gb is holding all the apps music, pictures, and files I need with lots of room left. Just look at the size of the stuff you want to have on there (or estimate - a 1080p movie is about 4gb when compressed) and see if it's more the 64gb.

It's not true at all. The Gooogle edition is 32 GB.
Specs are official and on HTC's website.

That's what I thought.... now that we have S-Off I wonder if we would be able to port over the Nexus editions bootloader and allow full fastboot command access

Agreed. The phone looks nice but I think the S4 is still better. I had a Nexus device once and it was ok. But the rom options are basically all variations of aosp/cm. It's nice having the option of TW as well.

The removable battery I could take or leave. I would've agreed with you about the SD card situation until recently, when I realized that I was using less than half of my card. I've also recently uploaded all of my music to Google Music, so my local storage needs are basically limited to photos and videos that I take with the phone. Even THAT isn't really a big deal anymore since it's all uploaded to Dropbox anyway.
Either way though, I'm willing to make the tradeoff at this point.

Good points all around.
I'm not up for an upgrade. It definitely is tempting. And I guess it would only be about $100 after selling the S4.
Just don't know if it's worth it. I can see where you're coming from after the issues you had yesterday.
