Personally, I don't see a problem with this as 128 gigs of storage is fine for me on a phone. In fact, I currently have a 64 gigabyte phone and I'm not using all of it, even now.
Good it exists, for people like you.
Once the OS stopped letting me use my SD card with my phone, by 256GB internal storage has not been enough for me, I've had to remove some stuff I'd prefer to have on my phone off it.
the solution to that is wanting back normal sd card support. I'll never buy a phone without it, and I'm not just saying it. I need the removable storage that is not a USB stick but something inside of the phone, and I think this is a basic thing. it's a shame though that in the fairphones you can only access it after getting out the battery.
Well, my phone has an SD card slot, which I bought a 512GB micro SD card to go in, and I used extensively, then about a month ago the OS stopped letting me write to it. And there aren't any alternate OSs for my device, just Motorola Android
You might want to consider googling the problem and fixing it.
Well, I wouldn't use Google, but I have already detached it on DuckDuckGo, asked HuggingChat, and Lemmy, and the consensus seems to be that there's no way to fix it on this device.
Perhaps you can do a chargeback on the credit card? Has the manufacturer been stringing you along?
can you write it from a PC? or did it stop working after an update?
I haven't tried taking it out and trying to put it in my computer, maybe I should check that
maybe the card is just faulty. while you're doing that, you could also make a backup and reformat it. but, it'll lose the factory formatting that was possibly done with a few optimized params that make it wear out somewhat slower
I already formatted it before, so formatting it again won't hurt. Most of the things on it are already hacked up to my computer, the ones that aren't are stuff like app data.
What are you putting on your phone that needs that much storage? Photos or videos should be moved onto something with redundancy
I have my storage both in my phone and computer with Syncthing, I want it entirely on my phone too. I also have English Wikipedia downloaded, and about 40GB of movies/TV Shows
Yeah, same here but like another commenter pointed out... some people need the fucking space.
Which is cool, let them pay the margin on the product.
A bit toxic but that's how market is supposed to work.
Just like my cell phone plan, I get to pay $15 per month for calling texting and 5 gigabytes of data because I know for a fact that I'm not going to use 5 gigabytes of data where everybody else is paying $60 or more for unlimited.
yep learning this cool trick too...
just trying to cut "margin" everywhere i can, it saves $ while really hurting "owners" hehe
I was curious and checked, i need 91 gigs right now, and i'm pretty sure i can easily deal with 64 if i would just unload and delete all the junk that is sitting on my phone for no reason.
