it is possible to upgrade the internal memory of 32gb to 64gb?
Without buying a new phone? No
Yeah, that wouldn't work at all. If you even could, you would have to put a different chip on it and that would require so much work that it wouldn't be worth it.

There are conflicting reports on whether the Samsung Focus s SGH i937 has an internal micrsd card slot or not, I'm thinking about buying one but I need more storage then 16 gigs and I would like to upgrade to 32 gigs.
No. There is no card slot in Samsung Focus S.

I Called Samsung today and they informed me that it has a internal micro sd slot that is not user accessible.

If someone did a teardown of this device we could know for sure.

That would be totally insane. I was thinking about getting one as well, but after hearing that, I'm not so sure anymore as I to would want to increase available storage space. Why would they do that?
I believe there is a 32 GB version available. Mine has no expansion slot accessible.
Only available in 16GB. No SD slot. The lack of. Sd are support was brought on by the way WP7 interacts with external memory. Which can hinder the user experience. Bing it for more info

its not insane, its irritating.
the inability of WM7 devices to support external micro sd cards has been known for well over a year now. it has to do with WM7 os reading/writing faster than the cards can handle.
...and considering all the cloud based services available now, why would you need more thatn 16 gigs in your device anyway? really, the only things that need to live on the device would be apps. music, pics, and video can all be accesssed from the cloud. imo.
additional storage space
There are success stories of those who replaced their 16gb card with a 32 gb card and probably only a matter of time before somebody explores the same on this device, but again, why would you with all the cloud services. Success stories, specifically, on the Arrive. There are those that replaced their 16gb internal card with a 32gb card and it's working at least as well. Good luck!

There's alot of evidence out there suggesting NAND is used - not micro sd - that I would personally deem more compelling than a Samsung phone rep's response.
Just Search for "focus s" and "nand"...
hey guys.i was just wondering abut note internal memory?! im sure is it sd card or is it not?what do you guys think?
maybe somebody knows how to replace that with a big card like 32gb or 64 gb.then all our memory problems would disapear?
is it possible?cheers!
its probably an internal memory chip that cant be replaced
Think it'll be quite risking to perform surgery on this awesome phone.

It would be quite risky, yeah. Why not just replace your external card for a bigger one?
Dear All,
According to SGN specs, it says it supports 16/32GB storage limit. Owing to the fact that it has already internal 16GB storage, could it support an external memory of 16GB or 32GB precisely? Thanks in advance.
yes it supports micro sd cards
the storage they mention is the onboard storage

Yes. So, officially, you can get a maximum of 32+32 to the total of 64.
In practice, 64GB (and even 128GB) have been reported to work fine in the external slot alone, that is in addition to the base of 16/32GB.

Hm...mm are you saying that we can actually extend SGN internal SD storage from 16gb to 32gb as well? If so...may i know how? Thanks in advance.

no he is saying that 64gb sd cards work and possibly 128 will work
it is not possible to increase the internal memory

Well, what I mean is that there are units which COME WITH 32GB of internal base memory.

16gb vs. 32gb?
I'm about go get a GNote and I'm still stuck at the question of 16gb vs. 32gb.
I've been running out of internal memory on my HTC Desire almost daily and lost the possibility of a2sd since I've started dabbling with ICS. So internal memory has been a big issue, and the only one, with my experience with Android so far.
Will 16gb ever become a problem or would you say external memory is more important now?
Thx
the 16gb is split up with 1gb for theflash rom and rom components, 2gb for internal app storage and installation of apps and then 11gb for usb storage
if you can fill up 2gb with apps and data then you have too many installed
the desire only had 512 for flash rom which 150 was accessible for the user
Just wondering if anyone has tried a 256GB card with the Z3. I am running Oreo now and it rocks so was going to get a 128gb card to use as internal but well...why not go all the way to 256gb if it works, right?
If your question is still up to date, a Samsung EVO+ with 256GB will work fine. Accordingly, cards from other manufacturers should also work. However, I don't know whether it can be formatted as an internal memory.
I wouldn't do it either, because the SD card is much slower than the internal memory.

I am running 8.1with the sdcard as internal and while Oreo rocks I do think sdcard is indeed lagging but I thought it could be my slow card. So you mean that reading from any sdcars is slow with this device? Would be a shame since it has the 16GB limitations

I don't need the memory on the tablet anyway. I tried it some time ago on my Xperia Z3 phone with the app "A1 SD Bench" and the difference was already noticeable.
At the moment I keep it that way, that I have all apps internally and transfer pictures, music etc. to the memory card. My device is running like hell.
I may try that app again to only push bigger data and keep more important apps on then internal. I use the z3 as my daily phone. The way the industry is right now with those horrible (for me at least) aspect ratios 18:9 phones, I won't be buying a new phone for a LONG time lol
In March 2016 I bought my Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910C, after spending 4 years with a Samsung Galaxy S3. (great device by the way).
However, one thing I've been missing in Note 4 is the lack of more internal memory. 32Gb is already running low. I've been buying a new Note for a long time, but with 128GB and SD slot. I think of Note 9 ...
I know that many here still have Note 4, as it is a spectacular device even over the years. Is anyone already thinking about migrating to a device with 128GB or more?
It's only about your expectations of your phone. Internal applications couldn't be installed on External Memory (SD Card or OTG Storage), so if you use a lot of applications, you may change your Note 4 instead any phone which has a larger internal capacity.
I've also had a Note 4 since March 2016. (As same as with you. ) I'm OK with its octa-core processor, 515 PPI Quad-HD Screen, external storage (I'm using it with 512 GB Samsung MicroSD, so its 32 GB Internal storage isn't problem for me.), 16 MP quite sharp Camera etc, it is still great phone around many specs. But, its 3 GB RAM (And because of its software, we could use only approx. half of it.) isn't enough anymore. Without reloading, it couldn't keep anything on its virtual memory. Thus, sometimes it may be slow while using Chrome etc. I'm still OK with it but after a few months, at most after a year, I'm not sure about I will say "I'm still OK with it."
Thanks for the answer.
After I returned to Lollipop 5.1.1, a lot of internal memory was left compared to Android 6.0.1.
The sd card is almost full too and I may need to buy a bigger one. I have a 64GB Sandisk.
I'm doing my best not to spend money on a new cell phone now, but it will be the way.

I use 256GB SD card as adoptable storage to increase internal storage
Lollipop does not allow the external card to be used as internal storage and even so, if the memory card becomes corrupt or fails, you lose everything.
You can't even recover what's in the internal storage.
That was once I read it on a forum
It's possible to enable adoptable storage on the Note4 by flashing adoptable_storage_enabler_ashyx.zip .

https://forum.xda-developers.com/search/thread/3460478?query=Note 4
Theres also possible to partition the external sd card with a rooted Note 4 by use of Link2SD and App2SD. Its been a long time since I did this but I believe one partition is Fat32 and the other ExFat or possibly f2fs. Its best done on Lollipop. You could even make a third partition for 1Gb simulated ram . The simulated ram will reduce the life experience of you external sd and I didn't find much benefit with it anyway. You'll also need an app called Foulder Mount.
