[Galaxy Note5 General] malickie:
There are multiple reasons for the lack of Micro SD, 1. As stated, the use of new memory module, 2. They wanted to increase the build quality, hence having to do away with a few things

Honestly, this trend isn't going to change, Apple started this and have always had sealed systems. Android came out with the ability to change up things, but ultimately will most likely follow Apple on sealing their systems, because as stated, new memory modules that are faster, etc. will keep evolving and unless Micro SD Cards change to newer memory modules not likely to see them anymore in cellphones.

Don't get me wrong, I do miss Micro SD card in the phone but even without it I have yet to reach capacity, let alone you can Always get an OTG Drive or cable, that would be an easy enough fix, and you can get larger USB Sticks that have dual ports easy enough.

Just a matter of personal needs. I cant imagine someone filling up a 128 gig iphone but there are people out there that do. I don't know if im minority or not but i got by with a 16 gig iphone just fine. I have never had to use a sd card to make room in any of my other 32 gig notes and thats why i just went with the 32 gig myself for the note 5.

I have a 128 gig s6 that i was using before the upgrade and i had over 100 gigs free still
[Galaxy Note5 General] polish_pat:
If you think Samsung are screwing us look at the cheap shot Apple did. 16gb model is base, then if you want more you gotta spend another 100$. I mean we can all manage 32gb with some comprise, but 16gb? The OTAs wont even install like some users reported on the iphone 6
[Galaxy Note5 General] beaverslayer:
If I was in charge of product development at Samsung, I would design a removable storage card that is proprietary to the Samsung Exynos chip and UFS 2.0 memory with extremely fast read write speeds. Make it cheap as well. That would cut out the competition among card manufacturers and they (Samsung) would stand to profit. More people would buy these versus paying the $100 to go up a tier in storage. Win win proposition.
[Galaxy Note5 General] m2geek:
Calm your tits
[Galaxy Note5 General] BarryH_GEG:
With all the market and business challenges you'd be facing you'd have a lot bigger fish to fry than the pros and cons of external storage. ;)

Samsung doesn't do cheap. Name one product they've ever offered that was priced lower than competitive equivalents.

That's a conflicted statement. The margin on SD storage cards is pittance. They

want

people to have to "buy up" to get more storage on their phones. The difference between a 32GB and 64GB Note 5 costs Samsung $10 or less. The $100 upsell nets them $90 in profit. Why do you think in 2015 there are still 16GB iPhones? If you were product manager driving profit margin would be a major focus and something you'd be measured on.

Here's some comments on external storage from smart and knowledgeable people in the industry.

From Hugo Barra now at Xiaomi and formally head of Android at Google...

Matias Duarte, head of UI over Android...

Any of us that have used SD cards have experienced both of the issues referenced - corrupt/failed cards and the old Windows "is it on my C or D drive?" challenges of having two bifurcated storage areas. So the benefits of SD cards are clear. You get cheap virtually unlimited local storage capabilities but it clearly has its downsides in performance and ease of use. After a couple of weeks with my Note 5's unified storage it's frustrating going back to my Note 12 and trying to remember "is that file in 'docs' or "SD docs?" or "downloads or SD downloads?"

Regardless, it is what it is and the good news is that there are many OEMs still offering external storage for those looking for it. Samsung's made a decision and continuing to harp on the sensibility of that decision isn't going to change a thing.
[Galaxy Note5 General] KruseLudsMobile:
I travel most of the time for business and use my phone for everything and really can't live without it. I have a Note 3 and was waiting for the Note 5. When I heard there was no removeable battery or memory card slot I was upset because I have a 128gb card in the phone and more than 14,000 photos and many hours of music.... However after having analyzed my SD card use, the 64GB should be Ok, since my sd card is only at 75gb usage and actually 40gb of that is 8,842 photos on my phone from prior to 2006 that I don't need to carry around with me. I was surprised to see the 1,800 or so songs I have on the card only take up 8gb. As far as the battery goes, I could go along with a different model that has a removeable battery but then I lose the spen... and I am never really far away from an outlet as I work in an office... And the connector on my Note 3 is now really lose, and the phone is starting to act really flaky... it's not going to last until the Note 7 comes out... So really, the 64GB should be enough... so I took the dive. It'll arrive Saturday... :) Hope I don't regret this! :-/

"What do you mean by 11GB Free"?
[Galaxy Note5 General] ambervals6:
Never got those that say use this phone for business. What business is that? From what I know most businesses don't allow you to store data on your phone due to privacy concerns, hacking etc. Most data is confidential. So what business is left? Unless taking pictures and videos is what people refer to as business....

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A
[Galaxy Note5 General] KruseLudsMobile:
You have got to be kidding! I use the S-Pen to sign contracts and send them back to people. I use the phone for conference calls when not in a conference room. I use camscanner to create PDFs of al my receipts which is useful for submitting expense statements. I use the phone's speed dialing feature to dial the 44 digits required to use my corporate calling card to call people overseas on a regular basis. I use the S-Pen to also mark up presentations that members on my teams are working on for making presentations. I use the corporate email installed on my phone with my company's BYOD policy (they offer encapsulated applications for business use only) to answer emails when I am not near my computer at all odd hours of the day or waiting for an elevator, etc... I review spreadsheets and update what-if financial analyses sent to me by my direct reports in analyzing new trends - not having to have my notebook computer with me to do this makes me much more productive. I can keep going on and on.... LOL
[Galaxy Note5 General] polish_pat:
Dude you're obviously not informed on the subject. First, any company that needs a secure phone will setup knox...which is a secure phone inside a phone. That doesn't prevent users from using their note how they want, its just that unless they are in knox mode they won't have access to the company environment. If the phone gets hacked ir stolen the data is still safe unless the thief has the credentials. For the rest, the note is the best thing for a business user.
[Galaxy Note5 General] sand1303:
Lol. I can understand some people do use it for business. Some people have pdf software and sign agreements through emails. But i got a kick out of the best buy chick telling me she uses her phone for work and 64 gigs just wont cut it. I wanted to laugh at her but i didnt.
[Galaxy Note5 General] oldblue910:
Out of the box, my unlocked SM-N920I has almost 25 GB free.
[Galaxy Note5 General] dsmpampis:

I am showing 50 gigs free on the 64gb ATT model.
[Galaxy Note5 General] dtaylorr:
That is not how it works, sorry. All the phone manufacturers do this. It is surprising how much room the operating system things take up.

Root your phone and you can eliminate a lot of bloat.
[Galaxy Note5 General] hextence:
Technically Samsung is doing nothing wrong here. They never promised 32GB of usable space for the user. They give on the specs sheet that your phone has a 32GB Storage on board, and that's exactly what they are offering.
[Galaxy Note5 General] WhoLMA:
Have 1.5 free on my l fino (but have sd card option)
[Galaxy Note5 General] bonerp:
THE most pointless thread ever. This is how storage is sold.
[Galaxy Note5 General] umbrokhan:
i thought by now everyone knew that.

even computer hard drives and USB pen drive and SD card are sold like that.

maybe the OP is new to technology and gadgets....
[Galaxy Note5 General] jhun80:
Luckily samsung produces 32gb, iphone still have 16gb!
[Galaxy Note5 General] hextence:
IPhone has 64gb and 128gb variants too. Not just 16gb.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Jammol:
I still don't understand why people are up in arms about storage spacing?!

It is so ridiculous that people complain about a device's storage yet they still purchase it and keep out. Everyone should know by now how storage works.

People just want something to complain about nowadays. Sad.
[Galaxy Note5 General] jhun80:
I know that, but at least samsung dont produce that ridiculous 16gb phone!
[Galaxy Note5 General] umudeus:
Phone producers must stop tell lie to customers. If i cant use my 7.5gb of memory, why they calling this device as 32gb? Every phone producer must start to tell reall empty space for phone capacity.

[Galaxy Note5 General] _MetalHead_:
Isn't this old news? I remember everyone crying about it 3 years ago, surely by now we all know what we are getting with each storage tier. That said, if you don't like it, then don't buy it. And please, stop whining about it already, FFS.
[Galaxy Note5 General] hyun18:
Lol if you are into smartphones at all you should know this . Its like buying a 4tb hard drive .

You'd only be able to acess 3.6 tb in reality .

Just be thankful you realized it no

I opted for the 64gb for this reason.
[Galaxy Note5 General] kolembo:
32Gb internal is just not enough without an external sdCard.

Thank God that's back for this year.
[Galaxy Note5 General] EdwardSmith36:
I completely agree with you. It should not be added in the internal memory, 32 GB should be fully empty for other uses.
[Galaxy Note5 General] diogob057:
Definitely agree with you!!!
[Galaxy Note5 General] JasonJoel:
Wishful thinking, but that isn't how ANY phone is sold. So it seems a little silly to belabor the point.

Samsung isn't screwing anyone. That's just how phones are sold.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hoomey:
What to do with all the left over space in /system

FIrst post ever since I joined xda back in 2011 for all the fun I had with my good old Desire HD..

Anyways...

As I am sitting here right now with BlissPop and Stock GApps packet (thinking it might be too much/big), setting up Link2SD to offload stuff from the 11.27GB small yet more than big enough internal partition asking myself "Is there anything useful I could do with the almost 1.27GB of free space on the /system partition?". Of course there is "Here are the similar threads we found:" but as these suggestions are either unanswered or 3years+ old, I thought about posting my first thread here since rejoining for my G3.

A few weeks ago I might have said something like 16GB(11.27..) is just not enough but as soon as my CPU started to throttle into the ground (hitting 85C more than once) just from syncing stuff I said it's enough and went custom again. Probably one of the best things you can do with an over 1 year old G3, yet feeling like build a week ago (expect for the horrible unit I got, that the first thing I did was to downclock and undervolt that piece of....beautiful CPU).

Although I might know the answer already, maybe there is something that I just don't know about, that integrates perfectly with the update scripts and/or is worth the time investment to get that worked out like building a core app package with apps I always use on a second rom/tablet/different phone although probably not worth the work, is it just as easy as signing in with that account.
[Networking] techjohnny:
The data throttling recently kicked in on my hot-spot, it wasn't a issue until yesterday.

Same experience of others? I can use a VPN, but the fast.t-mobile.com APN is being throttled.

Interesting though that speedtest.net shows unthrottled speeds.

HTC One M7 and Nexus 5 (both stock ROMS)

Thanks.
