I can live within 16GB fairly troublefree but I do think that 32GB would be my preferred size for flexibility sake.

I anticipate I would still have at least 20GB free most of the time but, again, all about the flexibility :).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBelter:
I've got just under 4GB free on a 16GB one but I am unlikely to add anymore music as I only have favourite stuff on my phone anyway. I use a dedicated MP3 player for long trips etc.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksavai:
16 Gb is just enough for me. Some music,Snaps,games still leave me around 4-5 GB free.

I would love to have 32Gb for my next nexus but not some 4-8GB + Micro SD.

From my past experience (HTC Desire and SGS1) both had micro SD card but that comes with additional problems.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys:
10 free out of 16...plenty good and there are cloud options!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yuvin:
16Gb here, only ~600Mb remaining. Need more space for my music. I probably will set up some sort of cloud music player with my server so that I don't have to waste space on the phone for my music. Overall, satisfied with the space.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nuu~:
I have the 16 GB model, and it's okay-ish at best.

I really have to decide what goes on the phone and what doesn't. I don't really play games, so the only things that take away storage are music and some pictures.

It sucks that I can't fit my whole (more or less) music library on it and that I have to cherrypick what i want to listen to within the next few days.

I don't really like the idea of streaming music with the phone in my pocket as i want to have children some day :p
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davwman:
8gb fine here. 5gbs free most of the time. I have 100gbs of box space though and reception is fast and stable where I am. Wifi also readily available most of the time. I don't store music anymore. Pointless with my conditions and Pandora simply can not be beat. I don't keep multiple backups. Pointless. All I have is stock rooted backed up in case of any issues, which don't happen. I don't keep roms, only gapps and kernels readily available. Once I flash a ROM its deleted immedialtely.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagaetch:
I have an 8gb, and it's fine. Only time I ran into a storage issue was when my nandroids built up, but delete a couple of those and problem solved. Pictures get auto uploaded to dropbox, and i mostly use pandora over wifi, so no music issues. *shrug*

I think you answered your own question there :) Google really wants everyone to live in the cloud - preferably their cloud - and not use local storage. Plus, it wouldn't surprise me if the carriers prefer that as well, because then they can charge for data plans that most people wouldn't otherwise need.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
The 8gig model is fine for me. :D

I have the 32GB Nexus 7 and I still have 20GB+ of available space left. I have tons of games, documents and etc! I don't know what else to fill it up with. :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davwman:
I think the problem is the mentality that you need to carry 250gbs worth of music with you to be satisfied. I have 250gbs worth of music. You know where it is? On a portable hard drive that hasn't been touched in two years
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yahi:
Got 16 GB version, and I've got all I need on my phone and it's taking about 6GB, so about ~6GB free and don't know what to do with it :confused: :laugh:

I do think a 32 GB ver would be awesome; having smaller capacities puts of a lot of people from buying this phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboy47:
yes i am fine with 16GB. Before I had HTC Sensation with 32GB. never used all the space.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 20degrees:
900mb free on 16gb version. Wish there was a slot or 32gb version.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CheesyNutz:
16 here no regrets i have 11 gigs free and with all the cloud storage's space is a mute point
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djwyman:
My previous phone was a 16gb nexus s so I am used to that amount of space...I don't worry about waisting space with music anymore since they came out with Google play music that will hold most of my music...I don't really do much movie watching on my phone so that don't use space either(have a nexus 7, PC, and ps3 for that) but if i do want to watch something on it I have hulu+, Netflix and then if I still can't find something to watch I could buy or rent from the play store so still in the cloud...the only thing that takes up space on my phone is apps, games, and pictures or random geeky stuff I download from xda like tweaks and such that I forget to delete after installing. I still have 12gb free.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterchung89:
16 gb for me, which is actually more than 4gb microsd I ran for 2 years so I'll call it an upgrade.

Idk, but I only regularly use less than 1gb of space and have 10 gb free.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helios.z3r0:
16gb is fine for me. I never hit that even when I had my Thunderbolt/Rezound/SGS3 (all of which used the same 32gb card that was passed down device to device.) I never even hit a quarter of that. Then again I used my phone more as a phone/PDA/camera than an mp3 player.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superpopsss:
Fine with 8gb.

I have a 32gb nexus 7 for media (music and videos)

My phone is only for pictures and text/talk.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul_viado:
Very happy with my 8gb, all music is stored on Google play music, no nandroids stored.never have to restore anyways.just start fresh prevents from any further issues in the long run. Other than that just gapps/kernel stored and pics all on box with about 4gb of space left.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filthykid:
Well I have so far 10 gig free.. and the phone is filled with all the stuff I want. So, yeah its sufficient for me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocklee80:
I have a 16gb NX4 with 2gb free space. i have 32 games, many apps and a huge library of music and some episodes from prince of bel air. With the 16GB Variant you cant do anything wrong :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
I have most of my pictures/video`s and music in the cloud so 16GB is more than enough for me, still have 11,4 GB free. A sdcard is like a big attic, the more space you have the more crap you save.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Euthye:
Yup, it turns out 16gb is ample for me i've got just over 10gb free and that's with nearly 2gb of music sitting there.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcarpenter85:
I'm honestly 100% fine with 8. I purposely bought the 8 as an experiment to see if I would be able to leverage the cloud to subsidize on-device storage capacity, and the answer has been a resounding yes.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan stewart:
In hindsight I could have gotten away with 8GB. I bought the 16GB for resale and because the $50 wouldnt have made an impact on my balance sheet. But then again I have a tablet and do most of my video watching and game playing on it. That is where storage gets chewed up, HD content takes up a lot of space.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zehlek:
16GB is perfect for me. I only had 8GB on my Sensation and it was enough
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpjimmy:
16gb here. And I have a 64 gb sd card in my sensation lol. Going down -75% in storage was not really that hard. Even though I loved the amount of storage, I viewed the 16gb as a "diet" lol. And so far have worked. I constantly uninstall apps I hardly use and use my N7 for gaming mostly and the N4 for podcasts.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beall49:
I have all my music on the cloud, so it doesn't bother me at all. I never come near space constraints on phones.

What services do you use for streaming and what is the means you use to get the music to your device? I am intrigued by this option as it will clear that 6gb collection of music off my phone:)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djwyman:
You can use Google play music to do that...just download the program it has for the PC and it will upload your music library you have into the cloud and then all of your music is on your android device for you...

That means you need to be routable via the Internet and isn't a good option if you don't want to leave a computer running at home all the time.

Also amazon has a cloud music service similar to Google but I am not sure about Canada availability and I think it is no longer free like it once was.

16 is plenty for me. I switch out music all the time copying from my nas.. I always have at least 3-4G free..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unixon:
Re: Are you guys fine with 8/16gb

I have 16GB and while it's not bad it's far from perfect. 32GB feels just right, it seems endless and worry free yet it's not overkill like 64GB... More storage isn't bad either :P but I mean the way I look at it was with my iPhones, 16GB always just cut it (Still is like that on my N4) 32GB was perfect, and I just could never even fill 64GB.

And nowadays its better to do mobile music through the cloud, and this is an opinion from somebody who has poured years into mastering Audio engineering. You just don't need over 320kbps CBR on the go. Movies and TV I do through XBMC or Plex servers if it's not already available on a streaming service. And I mean with T-Mobile getting an average of 4-15mbps? No problem.

Problem is definitely 3D gaming. Most 3D games average at around 1.8 gigabytes. And it adds up after you have your normal crap. So if you love to play console style games, especially ones by Gameloft or EA with HUGE footprints, you need at least 16GB preferably 32GB.

If you want a lot of storage check out the new HTC One developer edition. Just released. Insane PPI, brand new Qualcomm SOC, 2GB RAM, 64GB ROM, totally unlocked, $650. I like my $350 16GB Nexus 4 just fine though and I game on it as my main device. Just consider 3D gaming, everything else I've found easy to bypass.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevenhw8:
I'm fine with 8GB as a matter of fact.

Have about 500MB installed + GPS navigation and offline maps that would be about 800MB more

I don't watch movies on my phone, only listen to music when I'm running... so 2 or 3GB of music does it for me :P

Still prefer editing videos and photos on my desktop, so I periodically pull out those big files to my computer
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3dupunk:
I would love more space but like you, I have prioritized and I can deal with it...the phone is that great.

I keep seeing people complain about lack of storage in regards to back ups and at first I complained quietly to myself but then I started doing full back up and transferring them to my laptop. I keep a clean backup of the bare necessities on my phone which is only like half a gig. If anything does go wrong, I can recover my system and transfer said back up from my laptop back to the phone and tadahhh....I'm back.

Love my phone btw!

Guess you get to learn how to live with 16gb finally getting use to 16gb after moving alot if my music and files to the cloud .Just an inconvenience that my data gets hammered more with less local storage
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tidus1ph:
i have the 16gb. it's somewhat i don't know maybe ok. i'll survive i guess...

there are times that i miss my 64gb micro sd card from my xperia pro that was stolen. i haven't consumed more than 10gb but it wouldn't hurt to have huge memory just in case.

cloud service isn't my thing. i have free 50gb from box but there's a 200mb upload cap. dunno if things stay there for how long? how secure? am i the only one who can see what i put in my account? data connection & reception dependent.

Is there any problem to use a headphone with mic on the Nexus 7, even knowing that the mic wont work?

What I mean is, if exist a possibility to damage my device or my earbuds, because of the third pin...

Sorry for the bad english...

If you hold the connectors of the headphones side by side you will see that the three ring connector is the same length as the two ring. So there should be no physical damage from inserting it.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Aanze:
Hi everyone,

So I've got my Lumia 920, and I want to start developping some stuff... I registered to a developper account.

I'm working on Windows 7 (x64) computer, using Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone 2010.

WP8 SDK CANNOT be installed on a Windows 7 machine. So, no problem, I'll try with WP 7.1 applications.

The problem is:

- Zune CANNOT detect the lumia 920 on Windows 7 machine (maybe neither on a Windows 8 machine)

- Visual Studio NEEDS Zune to detect my phone in order to deploy application.

So basically, I just can't deploy anything on my phone on windows 7 can I ?
[Nokia Lumia 920] petard:
Yeah you're pretty much not able to do it. You can install Windows 8 as dual boot or in a VHD and do it that way. I don't think you can do it in a virtual machine because WP8 SDK requires to be installed on Windows 8 as the host OS in a Hyper-V environment. Easiest way to do it though is just to upgrade to Windows 8.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Aanze:
Thanks for the answer, that's what I thought... no real workaround then..

I'm using my work's computer, so I don't really have OS's choice (and having a W8 virtual machine running on it is not something I can consider)..

That's a shame though, that after buying a Lumia, buying a developper account, having a computer on Windows 7 I'm still unable to develop the way I want.. Anyway, nothing more to do except complain :)

I guess I'll just be coding at home.
[Nokia Lumia 920] boshko:
You CAN deploy apps to WP8 on Windows 7 if you install Windows 8 as virtual machine. I have done this myself using VMWare Workstation. :)

Obviously, your PC have to support Hyper-V.

P.S.: You need to switch to "Exclusive mode" in the virtual machine and then Windows 8 will detect your USB connection.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Aanze:
That's good to know thanks !

Though I'm not sure my company would let me run a Windows 8 with my own licence on a VM. But maybe I'll find a way, thanks for the tip !

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UserX10:
Hi @all,

I have some questions regarding the Firmware.

I have searched for answers to my questions but I haven´t found any...

I´m still learning so excuse also some "stupid" questions...

1. Fastboot

With fastboot (if BL is open) it is possible to send files to the phone.

"fastboot flash boot kernel.sin"

"fastboot flash system system.sin"

Normally this is working fine.

But on the Xperia Z I get an error, that the system.sin file is to large. Anyone noticed this also? (The same file converted as a flashable zip File is working in CWM)

2. SIN-Files

What is with the other .sin files which are in the usual FTF-File? How to flash them?

There are fotakernel.sin, amss_fs_1.sin, amss_fs_2.sin, amss_fs_3.sin, rpm.sin, partition-image.sin, loader.sin and (in my case for the Xperia Z French FW) elabel-c6603-row_201302121303_10.1.A.1.350.sin which seem to be interesting!?

The other files like userdata.sin, cache.sin apps_log.sin and simlock.ta seems for me are not so relevant.

Aren´t they necessary? I have also noticed this on CWM where only the system.sin is flashed and not the other .sin files. Why?

I have checked the partitions in the shell with "df" and there are only

Is this the reason why we do not know where to flash the other .sin Files because there are no partitions where to put them in?

So in this case it should be possible to flash userdata and cache (but this is unnecessary) because this data are created while using the phone!?
