The sum of total memory usage and the free space available is not equal to the total amount of memory. Please suggest what is the problem and how to get the space back. I dont wnat to format my Internal memory so didn't try yet.
System Info
Rom: Ultima 12.0
CWM Touch 6.*.*
Siyah 1.9.1

the OS itself takes some space, whereas this is already calculated in the 11GB, you had some other roms installed? dualboot?

are you running a 4.2 ROM? Your previous internal memory is kept in /data/media, taking up space

Hey Friends, I found the problem, The Backups from CWM is not shown anywhere but it uses memory anonymously. I have deleted my old Nandroid backup and got the space back.
Problem Resolved but taken 3 Hrs.

Internal phone storage

I thought our phone had 16 gigabytes of memory? My phone is only showing a little over 9 gb.
Sent from my EVO using XDA
I would like to know the answer to this as well. I have 2GB of dedicated app space and abour 10GB of total space showing. Where is the 16GB that is advertised?
i know every phone has a little bit less then advertised (due to rom size) but 6GB missing????? thats just...i mean the rom cant take up 6GB now...can it?
Sent From The Phone Of Gamers
this has been said many of times, even by sprint themselves, the rest is dedicated for ics and updates and stuff
What she said on the gn about 3-4 gigs is for os etc then a total 2gb for apps on the phone everything else is for whatever

16GB Unformatted giving around 14GB usable... Seems about right to me.
i guess you think the phone loads ics from the cloud

[Q] App Storage Full - How to find what is taking all the space?

Today I got prompted that my App Storage is full and I needed to delete some apps. I went into my storage and it says I have 4GB in OTHER. What is other? Is there anyway to get into the phone storage with a file manager?

"Other" I believe is reserved for Rom/system files....kinda for updates and such. I guess the best way I can think of describing is if your Rom was 3gb big it would be put in that partition....so it's controlled by phone/manufacturer unless someone has a way to shrink that partition down, but haven't seen anyone mess with it yet...I think all roms lately have had that 4gb-ish block taken up...hope that clarifies it a bit. So unfortunately it's space that you can't really use.

Are you getting messages, because on my phone there is also app storage available on the internal SD
some of the other has alot to do with http://androidsecuritytest.com/feat...orts-and-agents/upload-agents/google-checkin/ or at least that my understanding

[Q] Wiping Internal Storage

Hi, so after flashing ROM after ROM for months now, my internal storage space has gone down a lot. Out of 16GB, I only have three usable gigs after flashing a fresh ROM.

Does this look normal?
Regardless, I just want to find a way in CWM to wipe my internal storage clean, flash a new ROM from my extsd card, and start fresh with some more gigabytes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Look for an option that says format data/media or similar. Your internal sdcard is just mapped to the data/media/0 folder.

It should be freed within a couple of time I guess. Also, a quick reboot sounds good.

No, i did restart my phone after that for 3 times, but it showed same... even clean master couldn't detect that...
Now i hav just factory resetted my sd card... I am fine now..:silly:
Get ES file explorer, go to storage/sdcard0/Android/obb and delete the folder "com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA8HM" next time it happens. No need to factory reset
This is also applicable to people who have downloaded the game from Google Play but the game wouldn't install due to insufficient memory. Play doesn't delete the obb files if the installation is interrupted, so 1gb is wasted in internal memory. That will solve the problem.
Same goes for any big games too which took up invisible space on your storage but never got installed.

MT6580M - Low internal memory (1GB only!) and can't repartition it

Hey!
My parents went to china and came back with two MediaTek phones. They though that they were cheper Samsung S7's, but that's clearly no the case
The thing is, they are still better than my old phone, except for one thing: the internal space.
Even though the phone says that there are 32GB total memory, I can barely install any app before running out of space. After some time I noticed that it only has 1.6GB internal memory (which half is already used by the system or something like this), but it is camouflaged as 32GB. For example, if an app with 160MB is installed, 3.2GB "avaliable" memory are used.
I did a big research into how to change this, assuming that there is actually more space on the fone and this was a partitioning error or if I could use an SD card as internal memory.
I was on my way trying the first strategy, but stopped after many errors (I was using MTK Droid Tool, but couldn't create scatter file to proceed).
Anyways, now that the background history is done, I'd like to know what could I possible do to use this phone. If I could only solve this memory problem, everything else is profit.
Any help?
