[Q] How can i get more than 1GB internal storage mytouch 4g

---

I got my mytouch 4g and notice there was only about 1GB available. I want to get closer to the 4GB that they say it has. Anyone get more than 1GB on theirs? I rooted but i looked in applications not sure what to uninstall to get the most space available. from what it looks like around 20mb is largest file I see.

It has the same lock down crap as the G2 that is using it.

Yep, have to wait until the hidden partition hack is resolved and full root is achieved

I find this incredibly shady of tmo to advertise 4GB. If they said 2GB, it would be understandable that some part of that is occupied by the OS and apps. But c'mon, 1/4 of the total? WTF...

You guys have to wait for tmo/htc to release a patch or fix for the bug(?). But they may be referring to the total space on the device(inc data/sys/cache) partition combined.

i still think it was false advertisement on their part.. if they would have said 4gb* available were *= 4gb (inc data/sys/cache) then i think a lot of ppl would have been ok with it.
but i just cant return my g2!

I can understand your frustration (kinda) but wtf would you want 4gb of internal storage for anyway? It's not like you can save music or pictures to it. Even without save to sd you'd be hard pressed to fill up the gig they gave us. Is this just about the principle??

to say false advertising is a little out there dont you think? i mean unless this is the first electric device with storage you have ever had :/ anything with storage always includes the stock hardware (look at your ipod for example). if you really wanna get technical you could also complain that it isnt 4gbs in the first place because of how they round disk space

great point

its about the principle.. yea i wasn't expecting the whole 4gigs to be available but when you only get 1.2 its pretty upsetting

true but by the time you would fill that we should have root cracked by then so youll be able to save the apps to sd either way... i just cant find it to be that much to complain about
