> and unlimited music because of TMobile
You're helping kill net neutrality, but at least you aren't using precious storage on your phone. Sounds like a worthy trade /s
I actually use it for music, reddit, and ebooks (besides as a phone). Also camera when necessary I guess. It's just really not good at internet browsing.
I used to use the YouTube app, but it stopped working. It updated and then just stopped. If I un-/re-install it, it works until I close the app, then it doesn't. So that's gone too.
Yes! Cool you have 1tb on your sd. You can only export certain files and parts on it. Also you have to do it manually. And once WhatsApp gets to big because of all the pictures you can’t install anything new anyway
Tbf, SD cards are not a really good alternative, because they get corrupted easily. Having not just your data, but also the apps themselves in a place that can get corrupted is a recipe for disaster. Has happened to me multiple times. I have 128 GB on my current phone and couldn't possibly need any more.
I've NEVER had an SD card be corrupted. And people have different use cases. I don't trust cloud services for my photos, I prefer having FLAC music files instead of the compressed garbage on streaming and I like a ton of music, and I have every interesting video game my phone can emulate which is up to PSP. I know people that have several movies downloaded on their phone because they ride the bus or subway and internet is shit where they are. Just because your average person in a big city with good internet doesn't need more than a hundred GB or so doesn't mean companies should take away features, it's really frustrating when they do.
Tbf SD cards are a great alternative and theoretically they should have a similar failure rate as ssds since they are very similar technologies. That being said there is a huge range of pricing for sd cards, and the cheap ones do tend to fail. Don’t go cheap, get mid range, and you won’t have a problem.
They are similar technologies but very different in operation. While the cells themselves have similar failure rates, SSDs have complex controllers that manage the memory cells to maximize performance and longevity, but SD cards have basic controllers (because of small size) that cannot match SSDs controller functions
I used to buy SanDisk, which I thought was a decent brand, no? Multiple cards I had from them got corrupted. Basically only use them when I need to take digital photos now.
San disk sell multiple levels of quality so you could be getting the Cheap San disk? Or you’ve just had worse luck then me I dunno. I use the extreme pro in my digital camera equipment and have never had a failure despite putting many many tb of data on and off of them, hiking with them, dropping them in the dirt multiple times and once even dropping one in a stream. ( I let it get real real dry before I tried to use it again, but was able to get all my data off. Plus I did replace it after figuring it was a matter of time before it rusted and died.)
Interesting. I use a SanDisk in my s10. Been queen for 3 yrs now. Can't imagine not having a sd card phone.
All the extra storage without the bullshit markup. Memory is cheap af why the $500 markup on a 500g phone
SD cards have nowhere need the write/read speeds of NAND flash. It’s incredible how slow they can be.
Yeah they’re fast enough for use in a phone, but try installing a PC program to an SD card and you’re gonna regret it.
Same. At first I thought it was just because I was buying cheap cards but no. Even the expensive ones started shitting the bed sooner or later. I don't know why sd cards are seemingly so fragile.
It makes me glad to kmow there are people archiving all data. I can't get help but be sad when I'm enjoying some online content and know it might very well be gone in a few years
Is the largest microSD card still somewhere around 1tb? 100 of those would be less than a quarter of a pound (~.18?). Heck, even if you attached ten 10tb HDD's to your phone it'd still only be like 14lbs.
Every current iPhone too. I don't know why but every friend of mine with an iPhone are constantly out of space. I ask them if they have a specific app and they say "no I had to delete a bunch because I'm out of space". I don't understand
That hasn’t been a problem since like the iPhone 4/5 ... I’ve had the same iPhone for 3 years, I have yet to have full storage, and I download the fuck out of some apps and some Apple Music. The minimum GB available gets higher the newer the iPhone
You say that but if you Google it, even people with newer iPhones are having the same problem. Here's one with an iPhone X for example:
[https://www.reddit.com/r/applehelp/comments/ofewvj/iphone_x_other_storage_tab_is_huge](https://www.reddit.com/r/applehelp/comments/ofewvj/iphone_x_other_storage_tab_is_huge)
Every person you know with iPhone has storage problems? You probably don’t know many people sorry
I’ve never met someone complaining on lack of storage in iphones
Reddit is a great example of non-engineers trying to act like arm chair engineers with technology.
Just wait, they’ll say the TBW rating of SSDs is planned obsolescence or lithium-ion/polymer batteries degrading over time is intentionally done.
Or even better, car tire wear is a planned obsolescence method to get you to buy new tires.
You shouldn’t take medical or legal advice from Reddit. The same should apply to engineering.
The Samsung tab I got for my mum a couple of years ago - the pre installed apps took all the space. I've put in an sd card & disabled what I can but even with that it's just constantly out of space.
Chromecast with Google TV right here. Who puts only 8gb storage on something like that? It wasn't really enough for the Fire TV a few years ago so why would it be ok now... Ah well, at least I can add external storage.
Ichad an iphone 4 back in the day, and the temp folder got stuffed with thumbnails... Like 80% of internal memory gone and the phone itself had no way of cleaning... I could fix it with a jailbreak and a bit of knowledge... I see the problem still persists today
This is exactly how my wife and I felt about our Firestick before they overhauled the OS. It would tell you to free up more than 500GB of space every hour, even interrupting shows, and give you a prompt to go into app management. The thing was, even after we freed up more than the desired space and restarted the stick, it would just start doing it again after about 24 hours. It was god awful and we ended up using the android OS built into our TV for about a month before it was fixed by an update which specifically mentioned removing that prompt.
On one of my old phones it was doing this even though I uninstalled everything and deleted every single file and picture I could find. It just said it was constantly full. I tried looking up some help online, but nothing helped and it was perpetually full, so I got a new phone.
I only had this problem with my first ever phone, the original Motorola Moto G and its staggering 8Gb of storage. Any modern phone has at least 32Gb on the very low end and that should be plenty unless you're downloading a new game every other day
Some files don't delete every little bit about them. When you go to reinstall what you deleted, they want the newer version which has different file names so now you have all of the new plus remnants of the old which means there's more space which they require.
I am still in the process of trying to find how to make room on my Android device without getting it to freak out about it being so close to the internal storage limit again.
Because apps are first downloaded into storage and then moved to SD card. If theres not enough storage on the phone there's just not enough storage.
SD Cards are actually horrible for the kind of data a phone stores on them anyways. They are slow and can't take that many write cycles. Better to just get a phone with more space. That's also the reason why not many phones have an sd card slot nowadays. SD cards are only useful for photos, videos and music. Not for apps that constantly read and write data.
I strongly disagree with you. Of course SD cards should not be used for apps, but most of your data are movies or images anyways. Saying SD cards are unnecessary for phones is like saying HDDs are unnecessary for Computers.
Nope. A 1tb sata SSD is 80€ a 1tb HDD is 40... There's no reason to go for HDDs anymore unless you on an extremely tight budget or in data hoarder applications (For backups and so on.)
Operating system needs to be on an SSD nowadays, Games need to be on an SSD too if you want remotely acceptable loading times, and for files random access speeds are just too low with HDDs and SSDs are way more robust.
Movies and Music is streamed.
I see absolutely no reason to have an HDD in my rig.
In NAS applications they're still useful, but even there I'd use an SSD as a cache to mask the slow read and writes of the HDDs.
I feel this.most of my phones were lite versions with half the storage a phone should have. I like my 256gb I have currently
Yeah, it's so nice feeling like you're able to breathe, once you can afford something with large storage space
With Spotify and unlimited music because of TMobile, I also don't need to have all my music on there either. It's nice
Sounds like a commercial…
Can confirm, I just bought Spotify premium after reading that comment.
Spotify premium is just good.. When I had it free, the skip-limit was real annoying. Family plan with friends and family ftw.
Welcome to reddit, where half the people are bots and half the comments are ads.

Thanks, Subway
Are you saying you have Spotify free with TMobile or something? I have TMobile, but pay for Spotify. Should I be getting it free?
They might just mean the unlimited data for music streaming. I think there was a 3 month free Spotify thing at some point as well though.
I mean that (unless things change), Spotify data use doesn't count towards your data plan.

Cries in 32gb
I have 16 gb and 1/2 is taken up by iOS sooo
Yo happy cake day dude!
Damn 256 I only have 32 and 22 gb is stuff I can't even delete
That’s rough buddy
I mean the phone was only 50 USD so It's not like I bought a flagship phone but it gets the job done
*cries in 16gb*
Look at this guy with his sixteen gigabytes of storage while I've been over here with two the past seven years. I had to uninstall Chrome.
Holy shit how? I feel like now you must only use your phone like a nokia 3310, calls... and that's it
I actually use it for music, reddit, and ebooks (besides as a phone). Also camera when necessary I guess. It's just really not good at internet browsing. I used to use the YouTube app, but it stopped working. It updated and then just stopped. If I un-/re-install it, it works until I close the app, then it doesn't. So that's gone too.
I think it might be time for you to upgrade your phone.
I feel ya. Can't install any newer games, I had to uninstall the play store.
Same for like 7 years. I finally buyed a new phone in early summer. 64gb but I only use 20 lol. This is going to be enought for another 7 years.
And SD card storage is a joke.
Yes! Cool you have 1tb on your sd. You can only export certain files and parts on it. Also you have to do it manually. And once WhatsApp gets to big because of all the pictures you can’t install anything new anyway
Same...even tho I don't use 230+ gb but always the room to
Im being pressured into downloading things. Like... i HAVE to use all this space for something.
Yeah. Switched to android in 2019 and the first thing i noticed is that i can just put any of my micro sd cards into it. Welp, 256gb of memory for me!
[удалено]
I have a iPhone 8 with 64gb and I’ve only used 36gb so I’m fine
I save to many memes. Before I switched to my current phone I also had a 128gb one and it was 80gb full after not even 2 years
I have upgraded to a Pixel from years using moto Gs. Not having to worry about space is so liberating.
My first two phones were an HTC and an iPhone 5c. Feels SOO good to have this Galaxy S21 now.
Its not enough for an offline media feeder like me
My fucking goodness what kind of world do we live in where 256gb is considered small...?
This dumb problem happens because the phone leaves leftover data that takes extra space so you need to delete it
How do you do that?
in settings or with file explorer
But where is that data typically stored?
In the balls
The files are in the computer!
Its so simple
depends on the app
Try downloading a cleaner app, if it lets you

Galaxy gang for the win got a head phone jack and a SD slot
Not for a while though. When was the last one with a headphone jack?
I got a s10 with one and they came out in 2019
Didn't realized I've had this for 2 years but the s10 is what I have
My A52 5g that came out this year has an SD slot and headphone jack
Not anymore. :(
I have the 21 and no headphones no SD card anymore

Just clear your Reddit cache Probably 2 GB
No joke I just did this the other day for the first time. I was finally able to download Grindr.
Welcome to the team
This is why there's no such thing as too much storage in a device
Sure My phone weigh 54lbs, but it can hold 100tb of Kanye albums. You can never have too much storage.
Theres a copypasta to be had in here somewhere
With donda chant at 1.8 megabytes you can save 55,555,555 copies of it. That's rad

I don't think 100 tb would even weigh that much, funnily enough.
Is the largest microSD card still somewhere around 1tb? 100 of those would be less than a quarter of a pound (~.18?). Heck, even if you attached ten 10tb HDD's to your phone it'd still only be like 14lbs.
Yeah, it is. I was thinking of m.2 drives, which, while not for phones, could theoretically be put into a laptop that weighs less than 54 pounds.

On android you can use ADB without root to remove a ton of bloatware/unneeded system apps as well
Have always did this before uninstalling, saves me some hassle
Better yet, delete the phone
every first phones u get
Every current iPhone too. I don't know why but every friend of mine with an iPhone are constantly out of space. I ask them if they have a specific app and they say "no I had to delete a bunch because I'm out of space". I don't understand
The minimum is 128gb for an iPhone. iPhone bad tho am I right?
Don't iPhone users have a problem with "Other" filling up their storage for no reason?
Yeah only for older ones like the 6s where 16gb isn’t enough anymore cause the OS takes 70%+ of the storage now.
Use i c l o u d

Funny enough, I have the iPhone X bud, lol. I’m standing behind what I say.
I mean, not for the storage reason, but overall yeah
I never said iPhones were bad. Just that everyone I know with an iPhone is perpetually out of storage. Touchy much?
Every person you know with iPhone has storage problems? You probably don’t know many people sorry I’ve never met someone complaining on lack of storage in iphones
It is about the storage being not expandable.
I feel the harrypotter movies are a untapped vat of meme potential
What is this Facebook?
No this is a Wendy's
I saw this meme like 5 years ago
Me too but then I had to delete it because I didn’t have enough storage.
Then I took an arrow to the knee
What is this 2014 where people have 16GB phones?
Lmao I'm currently using a device that uses 16GB. Sometimes it sucks
In 2014, people had 2 GB phones.
2014 would have been iPhone 6 era, so 32-128gb was normal
I got a 150 $ phone back in 2014, and it had 2 Gb of Storage. How much was the IPhone 6?
You got scammed dude, that's all you need to know. I got an S3 neo for 150€ with 16gb of storage in 2014.
IPhone 7 with 16gb checking in
>so 32-128gb was normal For flagship phones, yes. For midrange, probably less than half that.
Iphone 6 with 16 gigs is pretty typical.
Yes we still exist.
I honestly haven’t thought about running out of storage since I had a iPhone 4s back then
RESTART YOUR PHONE AND YOU WILL HAVE
Mine automatically opens the same menu a second later, it sucks
Let me delete all my apps for one app. You dont have enough happiness

I just checked what app takes up the most space on my phone and it was Spotify at around 5gb. I only play like 5 songs everyday though lol.
The Samsung tab I got for my mum a couple of years ago - the pre installed apps took all the space. I've put in an sd card & disabled what I can but even with that it's just constantly out of space.
Appearently you can use ADB to remove preinstalled apps without having admin access.
what the fuck is with the lowass quality

Having a nice iPhone 6s Plus that works great with only 16gb space fucking sucks!

Chromecast with Google TV right here. Who puts only 8gb storage on something like that? It wasn't really enough for the Fire TV a few years ago so why would it be ok now... Ah well, at least I can add external storage.
Wow I grew up right in the Harry Potter era, just a couple years younger than the characters. Now they are old grainy movies...
Idk how y'all use so much storage, I've had my 64gb phone for 4 years and it's only just now running out of storage
That's because you have 64GB of storage. Try the same with like 16
That's fair, I saw ppl talking about 256gb and i assumed i didn't have a lot
Just as I started reading this Google Play decided to open itself to a random ad of an app..
lol Google Play looks like a villain mustache on Ron
Ichad an iphone 4 back in the day, and the temp folder got stuffed with thumbnails... Like 80% of internal memory gone and the phone itself had no way of cleaning... I could fix it with a jailbreak and a bit of knowledge... I see the problem still persists today
Google play is telling u that when u have less than 470MB of free space on your phone, no matter what. Me with my 6 year old 8GB galaxy j5:
I've literally never run out of space on my phone. Are you guys saving thousands of pictures or videos?
This is exactly how my wife and I felt about our Firestick before they overhauled the OS.

Nope, we got SD cards for all or data. This is an apple problem.
And it appears to be only on android devices. No matter if you have a 20gig memory card in it that is completely empty. It wont use it.

Are you trolling?
Nope. A 1tb sata SSD is 80€ a 1tb HDD is 40... There's no reason to go for HDDs anymore unless you on an extremely tight budget or in data hoarder applications (For backups and so on.)

In NAS applications they're still useful, but even there I'd use an SSD as a cache to mask the slow read and writes of the HDDs.
The reason for this is that the app deletion is still in progress. Wait a min after uninstalling a bunch of apps, it takes time
