Just a bit annoyed

China gets an SD Card slot, but none in the US? WTF HTC? Get with the program, I want to upgrade, but also want to stop lugging my almost full 60GB iPod around...
Arrgh. It's all about me, and I want a damn Sprint phone that I can put 60GB+ of music on, as well as have room for photos, videos, apps, etc. FWIW, Streaming isn't always an option with the areas I travel in.
When will Sprint get this phone with a reasonable amount of storage?

They also dont have the unibody design. Att has an exclusive deal for the 64. Everyones moving to the cloud bro. Storage options are just gonna get smaller. Hell even the new chrome os laptops only launched at 32gb

Samsung isn't and neither are most manufacturers; and look at where Samsung is now. Sure their build quality and design is not up to par with others but their phones are packed with features.
When you are competing in a crowded marketplace, it helps to have every feature that is possible to attract the widest range of customers.
Cloud services only work as good as the data connection and Sprint is the worst when it comes to data connection.
OP is just one of many who won't even consider the One because of lack of a SD card. There are countless others who won't complain or post their opinions or give any consumer survey; they will simply shake their head and walk to the next model.
I was one of them and I had filed away the One under my 'not preferred list', however the low, low, price that I had to pay for it, plus the USB OTG support won me over.
And HTC has shown that it is possible to include an SD slot in it, so why the hell not?

Pretty much this. And while your bandwidth may not be acceptable in some areas, 32GB of storage for this phone is more than enough to put most of your favorites on just in case you aren't in an area with 3G or LTE. If expandable storage is what you're going after, you might as well jump ship and pick up an S4, or downgrade to an EVO 4G LTE (which is still a pretty relevant phone considering it'll be getting an upgrade that puts it at Sense5).

You're talking about all the "features" that Samsung added to the S4 to make it more attractive than the HTC One? Those same features that most people find a silly gimmick and will more than likely never use?

Their unibody design is one of their main selling points. Thats why they released videos of the manfacture process. I rely on the cloud for everything. So the unibody+no sd slot was a nobrainer for me. And if you look at technology as a whole, the focus is on the cloud. Phones not as much but the stance is growing. The recent Google I/O basically boiled down to "Google glass lololzors Cloud EVERYTHING"

Admittedly, I'm on a SERO plan, but the fact of the matter is that Cloud for everything will end up eating a lot of data and result in data throttling eventually. I prefer to use my unthrottled speed on data that I don't already own

I'm on SERO as well with very spotty LTE and just all around bad 3G. There's never really a time that I've run into not having data when I need it, unless I was in BFE North Florida in the middle of nowhere. And data throttling has never happened with Sprint, and so far has not been hinted at ever happening, at least not in the foreseeable future.

I used to want to carry ALL my EVERYTHING all the time but I grew out if that.
Don't see the point in trying to cram dozens of gigs of stuff into a device that I will likely never access. *Shrug*
I have a friend who wouldn't get anything without an sd card because he had "8 to 9 nand backups" and I said "wow, that's excessive and has no reflection of a fault on the design of the device but of your data hoarding practices" he almost seemed offended.

USB OTG will solve those issues of local storage without streaming. Once you get used to it you'll be spoiled. I tend to carry a lot of development around on a phone and I still havent missed the sdcard. I rarely use OTG but I know its there when I need it. And since the OTG adapters were like 1.99 I have one everywhere so I don't ever think about carrying it with me, due to having them stashed all over the place. And the option is there for a lot more space than an sdcard.

There's a SIM card slot in the unibody design; surely it is possible to include a SD card slot somewhere on the periphery?
All B&N Nooks have a SD card slot on the periphery of their devices.
With millions of $$ being spent on R & D by HTC, surely they could have found a way to include it in a unibody design?
The CEO has famously stated that he will resign from his post if the One turns out to be a failure. While it may not be a failure, shouldn't he be aiming for 'wild success' instead of 'mild success'?
Lack of an SD card may not bother many, but it is a no-no for a few. Shouldn't HTC target all those people too, especially when they are lagging in the market?
If they were market leaders, I can understand their doing this but not when they are struggling.
I upgraded to the One despite my reservations about the SD slot, the low price tempted me into buying it. I love the design, the construction and they way it works. But the lack of an SD card irks me. I plan on using the OTG support for an external reader but it is not the same.

The issue with finding a way to incorporate an sd slot in the unibody design is the fact that they literally ran out of room to the point that they had to INJECT moldable plastic into the device.

As much as I hate Apple and the iPhone/iPad/iPod, their non-removable battery and absence of the expandable storage has shown over the years that people get by without it. Sure, a MicroSIM slot was added to ALL of the phones, but it's pretty much necessary to have it. Regardless of whether we want to see an HTC One with expandable storage or not on Sprint, unless Sprint says "make us another EVO with the specs of the One and the added SD card slot, it's probably not going to happen." This is pretty much becoming the standard across A LOT of manufacturers, and whether Samsung takes that road or not, they're not winning that many people over just because of that "feature." Only a small percentage of people want it to keep EVERY song they own, or a movie library, or every app that Google Play has to offer. To the rest of the buyers, it's just the fact that it's a beautifully designed piece of hardware that's capable of getting them through the day.

It's probably Sprint that went for the no SD Card Slot Option and HTC just sold it to them as requested.

I would gladly have paid an extra 100 bucks for a 64gb edition One on sprint. Sigh, hopefully next year's phone will have that much storage on Sprint

Too bad HTC didn't say we want this phone to be the "One" with the most storage. We are going to put 128gb on-board and fulfill all your storage delights for the year setting the bar for other phone manufactures to follow.

So it doesn't have an SD card slot boo hoo, you going to carry around 32 gigs movies or some s***?

Storage Space issues?

Hey all,
I'm due for my upgrade next month, and I'm stuck between the X and the S4. From a hardware and software perspective, the X wins hands-down (I love my Nexus 7 and the X is the closest thing I can get on VZW). My main hesitation is storage space, or lack thereof, which is why I'm considering the S4 with its microSD slot; I like to have options. Do you have any storage issues, and how do you manage it? I need to keep about 1.5 gigs of stoage space for an app that I use at work that have to be on the device, otherwise a little music and pictures (maybe 2g). Ideas?

I'm having very similar concerns. I know I can't make it on 16GB alone so I will wait on either the Moto Maker site to go live for Verizon (in which case we should have the option for 32GB), or wait for the Nexus 5 which should come out (hopefully) around the same time. Also, around that time we should see a price decrease along with the option for a hard-wood back (I think they're pretty sexy). I've currently got an S3 with 32GB and a 64GB micro SD card, which I don't utilize nearly as much as I could, I just like knowing the space is there.

[Q] Moto X on Verizon Still the Best Option?

I wanted to post this yesterday but I was in a huge rush to get my upgrade without losing unlimited data. I was not sure what phone to get to replace my beloved gnex. The moto x seemed like a great phone with a great battery which was key for me because the gnex battery only lasted me half of a day. But Verizon does not have the 32gb version so going to the moto x is a step down from the 32gb I filled in my gnex. It was nice to see and extra 50gb of space in my drive account for getting it, but obviously cloud storage hardly compares to hard storage. Also, I had to choose from black or white when the Motomaker site makes the phone look so much nicer but its a big tease when I cant use it with Verizon! Basically, my question is- Should I keep my boring black 16gb moto x or exchange it for another phone? If it was 32gb and had motomaker it would be perfect but without them it feels kind of basic when compared to the GS4 and the HTC1. Is anyone else as mad as I am that verizon releases yet another phone without all the goodies? Thanks.

I liked my all black Moto X and figured I can work with 16gb of space. The battery is great and I can add memory using my usb stick with an otg cable.
Later after a week I returned it back to Verizon and got the 32gb Developers Edition from Motorola for Verizon. Its got a black face and a white back with Verizon Developer Edition written on it. Its nice because of the extra 16gb of space but also has an unlockable bootloader. I haven't unlocked it yet because I've been rooted using Master JCase's root method. I love this phone because it's also smaller, kinda gotten tired of the big screen if the Galaxy Note 2.
Yeah look into using a memory stick for the moto if you desire more memory. Works great and this is my first phone with an undetachable battery. So I got an 18000mAh Power pack from Limeade. So now I got more power than I can handle. Hahah.

A few people on XDA have indicated that verizon will have Motomaker and the 32gb variant by the 2nd week of November. However I guess that is too long to wait to trade it in. I'm not sure I was trade for another phone based on not getting to choose your own color. As for the storage size, that is based on whether or not you think you need that much internal storage.

I just feel really let down about not having 32gb and motomaker as options when my last phone had more storage. I bet they lost a lot of sales to the S4 and HTC1 when they have more storage. Is there any way I can exchange my phone to motorola and pay the difference for the 32gb with a wood back?

Other than music(I use Spotify so it's a non issue) I'm not sure why anyone needs more space than 16gb.all my photos and videos are auto backed up to g+ or dropbox, music and video streams. And colors... I guess it's nice if you want it to match your purse.

I'm in similar situation, was in frenzy the other night caring about the upgrade nonsense that I ordered a Maxx without really thinking about it (thinking Moto X w/ coupon would have been about half the price). Very nice phone, my 2 complaints are the hardware keys and the size (too large for me to hold comfortably on one hand). While I'm getting comfortable with it, very likely going back and getting the X.

Video podcasts, rom backups, All Access were eating a ton out of my 16gb Nexus. I probably won't be doing much rom stuff on the X but that extra 16gb is always a welcome addition.

since it has no microSD slot...?

... I was wondering if there is (or can be), a "virtual SD card" or protected partition where you can put some data, (like podcasts or documents), that won't be erased if you do a factory reset. On my Note 2, I've been such a rom-flashing fool, sometimes trying out two or three roms in a day, it was handy to have certain files on the SD card like docs, podcasts, music, that didn't get erased when i erased everything else and cleared the caches in advance of flashing.
-peter

If you use TWRP to wipe the phone with standard option it does not wipe the sdcard directory. Do that kind of stuff should be safe. But I always backup on pc just to make sure anyways if it's something important

perfect thanks. now, i've never used twrp, only clockword mod, and i don't have a custom recovery on right now, (not rooted at the moment), so does clockwork mod have and "sdcard" directory too like twrp?
-peter

I haven't used cwm in years, but I do recall it working the same way. The sd card directory is on every phone these days. It's just the folder Google gave for things not using the system

awesome! with that, i really won't miss the SD card that much then... other than the constantly looming awareness of limited storage. But I'm pretty fastidious about my phones and computers. I happily delete apps I don't use or use only infrequently, and have only very few songs I don't like quite a lot.

Did you get it to work with your nexus 6? I cannot seem to get USB otg working on mine.

TWRP supports USB OTG, so you can backup all of your files on a USB drive, flash a custom ROM (assuming you're wiping literally everything), and then transfer everything back.

I highly, highly recommend the Meenova. I store all of my rom's, nandroid backups, music, movies and so on. Google or YouTube Meenova. It's about the size of a quarter or so. One of the cheapest and best accessories I bought for my Nexus 5. Planning on using it on my Nexus 6 when it arrives.

I have a LG G4 and I want to buy new smartphone ... But used one for now.

Hey guys.. recently I sold my Oneplus Two after using it for 1 year and bought new LG G4. But I bought it thinking I can enjoy entirely new things. But unfortunately I lost my enthusiasm. I didn't love the phone for many reason. 1. Battery life is very low. 2. No unlock bootloader. 3. No root for Marshmallow. 4. Phone heats up very quick. And many cons too. Now I'm planning to downgrade to phone with good specs and not too high end. So I thought of choosing Nexus 6. What do you guys think ? Is it a right choice to buy used one with 203 dollar ? ...

Just this month I had an option to upgrade to a new phone. I chose buying a used Nexus 6 instead. I could not be happier. It has what I always try and make phones, stock android. There is still tons of developing going on. I don't even care that it is an older phone. I had the LG G3.

We can't answer that. Only you can. Nexus like you said yourself is considered old, however many of us would not consider the phones out now a considerable upgrade.

You need to ask yourself whether 32GB is going to be enough storage for your needs. The Nexus phones don't have expandable storage.

sure it does.. just not via sdcard.

I don't know about you, but in the OP's situation I wouldn't want to have to play around with a dongle sitting in my USB port simply to increase my storage space. Using a USB OTG device is inconvenient except in certain use cases, such as at home backing up a device with TWRP. USB OTG may be expandable storage, but it's simply not optimal. Thus the OP still needs to ask himself whether 32GB is enough.
I don't think 32GB is enough, not without being ruthless in your space management. I know you'll probably disagree, but I'm willing to lay odds that as an owner of a 32GB model you're pretty ruthless in your space management. Owners of 64GB devices have the luxury of not having to be so ruthless, and I really think it adds to the enjoyment of the device.

I don't use otg, but it is an option in expandable storage.. you said there aren't any options. I have a 32gb n6. I bought it in nov, 2014. anyways, 32gb is more than enough for me. and I mod my device, nearly daily. and have 2 3.5gb+ nandroid back ups in my storage. before n6, I always had 16gb. now 32gb is spacious for me. also, I'm an amateur photographer that only uses the n6 for photography. what I don't do is keep music on my device, that's what seems to save me. I use google play music services, and I always have that to use. when I take a subway home from work, I'll download several albums to listen to, beforehand. BTW, on tmobile, unlimited high speed data, in NYC

I forgot about USB OTG as an option. I stand corrected on that.
Like I said, you're ruthless in your space management, where I don't have to be. That however doesn't mean I'm not. If I were to put my stuff on your device, it would all fit with about a gigabyte left. Having used devices with far less storage, space management became an art form with me. But on this device, not worrying about how much space I'm using is liberating, and it's that liberating feeling that makes using this device more enjoyable.

Had the G4 last year. Decided to sell it after a few months due to the subpar battery life. I do miss the camera and brighter screen, however, I prefer the N6 for the bigger screen, much better battery life, wireless charging and Project Fi. $200 for a used N6 is still a good price.

Of course you could shunt what you delete to cloud storage. But the fact you have to pick and choose what to keep on your phone only proves correct what some sites, for example Android Authority, are saying now about devices with 32GB storage: it's really too small these days, so the OP really needs to think this through. Currently Swappa has 64GB models for a low of $280. $200 is an excellent deal for a 32GB device, depending on condition. But is the price worth the potential inconvenience the smaller amount of storage may impose?
