Only 2.36 GB available on internal memory? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For some reason the capacity of my internal memory is showing as 2.25GB. I have tried formatting it, and there only seems to be one partition, so what's going on? It's been this way ever since I flashed 2.2. Any suggestions appreciated.

Do you have a lagfix installed? If so you may want to remove it, or redo it. Worse case scenario odin back to stock w/ re-partition enabled.
Make a back-up first, you may get your internal sd card wiped.

Internal SD size?????

Can someone verify in Windows explorer the size of the interal SD card.
I fear I screwed it up by using Rom Manager to format the SD Card and would like to see if my phone is reporting the full capacity of the card or if it has been partitioned by Rom Manager.
Thanks.
According to my Vibrant, the internal storage seems to be just under 13GB.
Mine is just above 13Gb.. Why do you ask?

Internal SD - 13.03GB
I ask because no program will format my internal SD card.
Froyo no brick does not repartition the device.
I have used ODIN with and without "repartition" and it always just leaves the files and partition structure the same.
Is there an ADB command that will manually restructure the internal SD and format it. From there I should be able to ODIN back in to flash to stock.
Everytime I do the ODIN to get back to stock, no matter what settings or rom I use, it will not repartition.
I also always get a checksum error when I boot into recovery mode.
I was never able to flash a VOODOO rom either.
I get an error that it is not compatible??? Maybe because the NAND has been resized? I did verify that I do not have the large NAND.
maybe someone could help by running a "df" on a root shell (termina, adb shell, etc.) and post the result so I can compare mine to yours
here is what i get

Yeah, figured I need a real android sdk pro to figure out how to get this straight.
I see the 13gb and that looks good, just wondered if all the other partitions are like everyone else.
I think I selected a swap file size from the partition sd in clockwork. Maybe that swap is the wrong size....who knows???
Thanks anyway though

Internal memory not available?

My phone bricked itself the other day. Since then my phone has been one big PITA after another. Right now Im using Eugenes 2.2 rom and only have one (real big) problem
The internal memory card shows full at 12.78gb, but under Application Storage, Available SPace shows 0.00. I cannot do much of anything with the phone now.
Also...check through adb shell, mount it shows
/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
Not sure if thats the reason or not

look theres all kinds of topics on this . you need to go back to stock and start over best bet for you . so get the 2.1 stock unmodded rom and see what happens its all rt here
I tried to flash ODIN back to stock, but the phone never booted!
My internal sd card wouldn't read with eugenes rom. When I flashed the zip with clockwork I di a factory restore while still in recovery. All problems went away after that.

remove your external sd card and reboot your phone, your internal memory will mount just fine. for some reason 2.2 cannot see certain branded external memory cards and it just makes the phone think you dont have internal memory or external memory.

[Q] Why should I partition my SD card?

Hi All,
I have flashed CM7 & now I am wondering, is there any reason to partiton SD card. If yes, then what is the recommended partiton size & an app for partiotioning. I have a 2 GB card. Also, will the card will be recognized by PC if I turn mass storage ON.

Been wondering the same thing. I personally have been flashing different ROMs, Kernels, etc for some time now and I've never bothered to do it, and I've never had trouble. From my understanding I think it helps with using apps2sd instead of in system memory, I'm not sure about this at all though. However, I've personally never needed to do this, my phone's memory has been sufficient for me.
I will say never having done this before, and never using a titanium backup or mybackup root, I've had absolutely no trouble with my various roms performance, battery life, what have you. I'm sure if anyone else responds I'll get chewed out for being a noob about this but it is what it is. I keep everything backed up on the good ole computer.
For the average user, no, there is no reason to partition the SD card.
sd card partitions is used to increase the internal storage. applied with some script.
very useful for device with low internal memory.

[Q] Damaged Phone Storage - Need Help

Need help/advice. I updated my phone with the newest Fresh Evo LTE 5.3.1 and the radio firmware. And after rebooting...noticed the Damaged Phone Storage notification. At first I thought it was no big deal cause it was the micro sd card. But then I found out it is the data/second partition on the internal phone storage. I tried to erase the phone storage...but that does not work. I am thinking of trying to restore back to stock and hoping the stock image restores the second partition.
Do you know what might of happened? And any options on trying to fix this problem?
You most likely need to reformat it. Best method so far seems to be booting into twrp and mounting the internal sd to PC and formatting it. Unless there's another cause, I don't know of any issues so it would help to wait for someone who has has to deal with anything similar before taking my advice

Thanks that worked...mounting to my PC in TWRP and formatting. Lost all my pictures and videos...will teach me for not syncing to one of those cloud storage services
Just make it a habit to back up your cards. Its always a good habit to back everything up
this just happened to me after a hard reset...can you show the exact steps i cant seem to figure out how to mount this?
Reboot to TWRP and look for mount, make sure it's set to internal and mount storage, in Windows a dialog should pop up saying that the card needs to be formatted
my phone is samsung a9 . ihave found that my phone storage is reduced from 127 gb to 7.95 gb and my sd card got damaged what can i do for this

[Q] No access to Internal SDCard

Hello, I have downloaded and installed the latest Cm11 and for some reason I am not longer able to use my internal sdcard. I can see and use the external sd but not the internal one. I just have the phone with 2Gb for apps and nothing else, unless I put the external sd.
I saw the partition on via parted is a fat32, but can mount nor format it on CWM recovery nor on my PC. At the end of the day I lost 12Gb of memory on my phone. Is there any way to remove and reformat the UMS partition (12Gb) with parted or any other application without having to put the stock ROM back? I also try Aparted application but is not able to see the partition at all.
BTW I would like to have 8Gb for apps and 8 Gb on my internal sd card, but I really do not know how to do it with Odin without bricking my phone. Any guidance on this? I want to keep using CM11 of course but could not find the md5 files to be used with Odin for CM11.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks. Where can I find the right pit file to go back to a stock? Can I flash another pit file to get a better usage of the phone's memory?
I would like to get 6Gb for the phone itself and the rest for the SDCard. Is that possible ? How can I do it?
Thanks again for your guidance.
You really are intent on trying to turn your phone into a paperweight, aren't you ? Do the smart thing & leave the partitions alone once you've fixed it.

Definitively not. I am trying to find the proper pit files to do it as well as to recover my sdcard space. I trust on this forum, that is why and looking for help here. Frankly, to leave the partitions alone is my first option, however I think that 2Gb for the phone apps is not enough for heavy phone users. Thanks.

Thanks a lot, I have been trying to find something like this thread for days already. I will be reading comments and experiences before going for a different partition, I think is risky, but I would like to try, whether the comments on the thread you have just sent me, are in favor of doing it. I think 2Gb for apps is not enough for heavy users. Thanks again.
