To put it simply, no device has the advertised storage available. What you see on your device is technically correct.

Question about Storage...

So I stuck my 16gb card in my Note, and when I go to storage I have SD storage (obvious), USB Storage 10.xx gb free, and system storage 1.88gb free
wtf is "usb storage" and how does this phone work. Does this mean I have like 10gb of random storage I can use and about 2 gigs I can use on apps? can I use the "usb storage" for apps and stuff too?
I are confused on this issue.
anyone know?
The note comes with 16gb storage ..10 as mass storage,4 as system, and 2 for applications.
You can then add a microsd card to enlarge the mass storage size, up to 32gb more I believe.

So the "USB Storage" is basically like an internal SD card?

Yeah it makes no sense, I can't figure out what it does.
Yes that's what it is...non removable storage...that you transfer files to over USB connection.

So it's got 2 gb free of application storage, 11 gb free of internal storage (like the galaxy nexus, or iPhone) and an SD slot too, lol, what a crazy phone.

i did format the usb thinking it was the sd and i screwed myself
Mount storage to your PC and download a program called Recuva. Might give you a chance at recovering files but no guarantees unfortunately.
i have downloaded recuva but for some reason my pc is not picking up the phone as a drive and the program will not recognize it.
Try another computer.
Does Recuva work on USB mass storage or MTP devices? I thought that was for local drives only.

External or internal storage? If there were stored on microsd card, google Aeaseus Data Recovery,plug in the sd card to your computer and let the software do the magic

I'm guessing it was the internal, which is why I don't think Recuva would work on it by just plugging the phone into the PC via USB.
MicroSD on the other hand, might have some options.

Why claim 8gb?

This makes me crazy. Why do they claim 8gb when there is not even 5gb usable? Be honest, say 5gb so we are able to gauge what we are getting. At least when you get an SD card almost all of it is there.
You forgot 2 gb internal storage for apps..yes its not full 8 gb ..its 7 point something but it never is.

It is the same reason for your hdd on your pc. The drive does have 8gb total but some of it is used up by the system's OS. Your usable space is actually 5.5gb with 1.3gb being used for apps. Any storafe medium does this. If you notoce on sd cards it may say 16gb but the user only has access to 14 gb

-sigh- because there really is 8gb of memory and they would be lying if they said 5gb. Think about it; all tech companies list the memory as the total amount of internal memory, not just available memory. If Samsung had a guilty conscience and said the galaxy player had 5gb, how could you compare to the iPod, that still said 8gb? There really is 8gb, but only 5gb available. Life tends to not be perfect.

System storage is for apps..some aps can be instaled on sd (usb) but you can move and them to system..be happy that SGP has a lot of system memory..i had phone with just 200mb of system memory and 8 gb card and that was nightmare.

but what is the different if i have 2 GB of system storage and 5 GB of usb storage?i prefer that it will be 7 GB of storage that apps will be installed because right now when i install an app it takes place in the system storage and the usb storage i think that it just make things more complicated.

Most apps can not be instaled on usb storage so you want be able to install them at all with out it ..also almost all aps have some librarys and they all go to system storage..also dalvic cache is on system storage..and every app that is on usb storage you can move it to system..just go to menage aplications in settings ..click on app and click on move to device

Just buy a 64gb MicroSD and swap the internal with the external, then you'll have 64gb for apps to be installed on.
Simple fix.

phone storage? -solved-

Hey all,
I have a 16GB sd card in my phone. I am however running extremely low on space.
I understand android allocates about 4GB of the SD for the rom and whatnot... but I cannot seem to find out what is taking up this 8GB of "other" on my memory.
When I go look for things to delete, I dont see anything. I only have about 1.2 GB of pics.
Any ideas?
I've attached a picture below to show what im talking about.
-nvm- i figured it out.
Re: Phone Storage "Other" Full?
I'm having the same problem, how's your app storage mine has 4.10gb that I don't know what's using it
Best bet is just looks throw your phones storage with es file explorer

thatotherguy,
I just pulled my SD card, then used ES file explorer to browse through what was on the phone storage.
it turns out my previous rom (meanrom) stored all the OTA updates (about 600 megs a piece) every time.
i ended up deleting those OTA updates since I just upgraded to meanbean.
What about your app storage? How much is yours using?

my app storage is just like yours. i just downloaded app2sd, i plan on moving some apps over to save some space.

Assume you still cant place files larger than 4GB on the sdcard?

Tried to copy over a 9gb movie, no go obviously. :\ Given no expansion SD slot, there is no way to work around this is there?
Doubt it. Storage is formatted using FAT file system which has a 4 gig file limit.

It is not formatted in fat. It is ext3 I believe that's why we don't have usb mass storage.

You could attempt zipping files in your computer and then unzip them in the phone. Alternatively, i heard that OTG is possible which will allow USB to be hooked up.

For those of you that are looking for extra storage, you might consider checking out this project of Kickstarter before it ends. This adapter allows you to use a microsd card with your One and also comes with a Micro USB to USB adapter to connect to your computer for file transfers. The adaptor is small and has been confirmed to work on the One. I've got one on order now. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andyfei/mini-microsd-reader-for-android-smartphones-and-ta
just picked one up in case. thanks man
9gb movie... Wow, want to use every pixel on that screen huh?
That kickstarter project is definitely your best bet. Or a similar usb otg cable and a usb drive.

ext3 supports files much larger than 4GB. If the phone won't let you copy a 9GB file to it then it must be another problem. And UMS is discouraged by Google I think as it doesn't allow concurrent storage access to both apps and the computer attached though USB.
When Samsung added JB to the Note 2, the MTP driver blocked copying files >4GB. They seem to have fixed it on the SGS4 as I just finished copying a 4.3GB movie file to it.
split the file up
MTP is pretty awful; if you're at all comfortable with the command line, use adb instead and save yourself some trouble.
