Hey guys, I am currently on the rezound and most likely going to the One. I was wondering how not having any external memory has been for you guys? Does flashing new roms wipe everything you have or is there two different partitions? I have some backups of apps that I don't want to lose. Thanks in advance.

How do we handle it? Uhhh..... just like you guys do. It's not nearly as big of a deal as you people are making it out to be. I actually feel sorry for you guys with garbage external micro-sd cards. Writing a movie to those things takes forever. I drag and drop files and they take seconds. Enjoy being left in the past. Just like those kids crying about not having a removable battery. Boo hoo now you can't play Candy Crush Saga for 13 hours straight.

I agree. I'm completely happy with only having one storage point.
In the worse case scenario I can always OTG a flash drive.
It acts like external storage, its not tied to the system/data partitions

Initially that was a concern of mine coming from a Galaxy S3 but it actually hasn't been a problem at all I've plenty of photos, videos and music not to mention apps, etc on my phone and still a good bit of storage left.

I don't need an excessive amount of media saved on my phone. I have hundreds of songs, tons of games, all the apps I need, 2 twrp backups, titanium backup of my apps with 5 gigs to spare.
I don't think I'll be needing 64gb anytime soon....

Thanks for the straight forward answer. And for not being rude about it. I only have a 16 gig SD card anyways, I don't like having a whole lot of things to filter threw on my phone anyways. I haven't read anything online about how the storage works on phones with no external memory so I was wanting to know.
As far as flashing roms and all, is there a small allocated amount for the rom to write to? Just trying to understand it more that's all.

Play music. Google drive. Google+ for photos. Fixes any and every need for onboard storage. I came from an 8gb nexus 4. With 32gb I'm laughing. Way more storage than I can dream of.
I didn't want to start a new thread for one simple question so I figured I would ask it here. My wife just asked me a question I have not thought about so I would like to know if anyone can answer/test it for me. She asked if she got an htc one and her phone would not boot up after awhile of having it, if she can still get the pictures/videos off the phone to transfer them to the computer. Or would she lose the pictures/videos? We are expecting our second child in December, so she doesn't want to risk losing new pictures of the baby. Can anyone test this for me?

I am not sure if the phone completely died (what I assume you mean by not boot up) if it would still be recognized by a computer to get to the photos. However, every picture I take with my phone is instantly transferred to my Dropbox account, so I never worry about losing anything. With proper backing up to a computer and managing Dropbox (for example, take pics, they are automatically synced to Dropbox, at some point transfer the same pics to your computer, then delete them from Dropbox so your Dropbox doesn't fill up), the chances of losing anything are slim.
Hope this helped....
Yeah, she is on her 7th phone now, so she very cautious and worried that her next phone will have an unreal amount of issues. She isn't one to have a whole lot of steps to achieve something.

Not a fan of mobile gaming, but purchased this today as it looks awesome for a phone, though after downloading, damn thing downloads again, taking ages, some reported it taking half an hour, and it causes error at 13% on my phone constantly, so I opened this thread to see if anybody can help on troubleshooting, so far, I've deleted the app in the SD card, un-installed and have started it again.
Got it to work, was low on memory on SD card.

I'm using Sense, ROM: Revolution HD, it's working perfectly, I'm enjoying this game, very addictive, onlines pretty good, but disconnects at time, can get annoying, nevertheless, very good game. It's a strategy/RPG, you will not be unhappy, especially at that price.

Make sure you have plenty of space on your memory card, for some odd reason it gives error, just keep relaunching it and it continues from where it stops.

Hi guys, I really like the look of this phone, and I'm thinking of getting it. But the only thing that is putting me off that there's no memory card slot, so no expanding the memory!
Just wanted to hear your thoughts on this? And does it really matter?..
If you like the phone then it doesnt really matter, I was the same with afew of my previous beasties but internal isnt all that bad
I suppose it is though dan, when you finally run out of space? I now hear there's less than 10gb of memory after all the preinstalled stuff! :s
I think htc failed!

You could hang fire a little while we get S-OFF sorted and a more stable/less storage ROM, could be the answer
I would suggest go the cloud way if you have decent 3G/H network in your country and easy data limits
v-b-n any chance you would start cooking for the XL now?
Remember to use your roms as my daily drivers in the HD2 times and simply love it.
Sorry for OT guys.
The cloud solution is surely a way to go, cant get more conviniet than that, well maybe except XL 32GB or SD card slot ;0)

When will we get this functionality? The S4 has this option on their app manager wherein they can transfer installed apps to their memory card without rooting their unit. I know for a fact that Sony released the Z1 months after the S4 why didn't they include this functionality on our phones considering it is "premium". I bought the this phone because I trust the brand and I have been loyal to them. I beleive not having this functionality is a big draw back given that we only have 16gb of internal memory to use for app, which is pretty low. I hope Sony can resolve this?

I agree. I come from HTC HD2 to Z1 right now and I am disappointed too. I think the solution is to flash some scripts or even a ROM Rooted.

When I got my phones I thought it was kinda weird with how they link their directories. The storage/emulated/0 etc etc and apparently this is the reason APP2SD is not supported.
It's easy to get around this with apps like link2sd etc.. But for non-rooted I don't know. I just wished it was there officially.
I use Note 2 rooted and I can't move apps even with app2sd apps. (10gb on Note 2 is hardly enough)

10GB has never been enough, In my honest opinion I think 32GB should be the standard for mid range and hi end phones.

When I bought my Note 2, they claimed I would get 16gb. When I brought it home and used it, there's only 10gb. So:
1) where's that 6gb?
2)It's not the os. (I'm using Illusion ROM which uses 200+mb while stock needs 1gb)

You are right for that part for unrooted devices.
But if you are root you have endless combination and ideas.
You can even use Xposed modules to tell your camera (stock/snap/better) to store your pict to sdcard.
As I said - I agree with that part - it would be great to have that without rooting but that's the way it is.
I always root my phones - to get adaway and remove that stupid baners from apps

On Xperia Z1 too. We are talking about app data which can be moved to the SDcard instead of internal storage of the phone.

I don't think we can install apps on the SD card yet ):
The OS is unix based, you can create symbolic links in the internal memory to point to the External SD card. These links tell the OS to look in the location you specified whenever something requests that folder, pretty much seamless.
There are other tools that have been developed which automate some of this for you, if you are not comfortable typing in a terminal window.
There is already a thread about this, conclusion is that mattiad is not going to be doing an internal2external mod, been using his mod for years and I asked him, told me that without the device in his hands (probably donated as he isn't going to be buying it) it isn't going to be happening, mount points and code are different from the s3 apparently.
I've personally been using folder mount, it's a paid app but allows you to mount the larger games and apps found in android/obb or anywhere from one location to another.
Upped my memory to 5GB from 2GB, I've got about 4 large games and around 100 apps installed so it does work.

Root will happen and there will always be a way around things, the problem Z1 users are facing is a lack of dev's to accomplish these things. Just compare the note 3 forum with this one, huge difference.
The camera bug has obviously played a part in this but it's causing irreparable damage to the Z1 community and has probably put off some dev's we could sorely do with.
Hopefully it'll change withe new releases but as time goes on i'm losing faith to be honest.

Wearing very thin my friend
Hi All, newb here, please forgive my question which can probably be answered by searching, but I am having a hard time deciphering a lot of this...
I have a Note 3 that I updated to 4.4.2 yesterday. It has never been rooted.
My biggest gripe is the SD card restrictions - namely the camera unable to save to SD card.
How can I root this phone?
Additionally, if I decide to go ahead with a new ROM, which ones are available and recommended. The 2 things I would like to retain are S-Pen functions and WatchON remote (i have a samsung smart TV and it works beautifully).
Before this I had a SG3 on slimbean, and loved it. When I moved to the Note 3, I was overall very happy and didn't have a desire to root after installing Nova Launcher.
Thanks!

unfortunately mine won't save to card. It's always been set to "card" but now when i snap a pic, it tells me it can't save to card and it has switched it to device for me.
This is a known issue with 4.4.2 and the only fixes are inserting some new code... which requires root. So I'm wondering how to root.... some say it can be done, other say it can't.....

Sorry to hear that Aceniza. After reading your post, I quickly took a picture, then immediately went to the My Files app, and verified that it saved the pic to my sdcard. I hope your not the only one with this issue.

Here's the weird part -
Last night I pulled the battery and reset... it saved to SD card a few times before giving me the error message.
Today I backed up my SD card and pulled it in preparation of a root that may or may not exist....
Upon reinstalling, it is saving to SD card.
I have it pulled again right now. Trying to root via Kingo, although it's reported not working.
Supposedly Chainfire (firechain? i forget) works, however trips the KNOX detector thing.
Cross your fingers!
Kingo is not supported... Oh well.... was worth a shot
