I have recently bought one galaxy grand quattro from local shop.
Firstly i doubt about some specification and look of the phone.
1. There is no "DUOS" Symbol at the top of the Phone.
2. I have check Device Internal Storage , It shows 1.48GB.
3. I have checked Hardware Specification By Play Store Application named CPU/RAM/DEVICE IDENTIFIER.
Application says My device is Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro I8552.
CPU TYPE : QualComm Snapdragon S4 Play MSM8225Q * 4 1.2096Ghz
RAM : 1GB DDR (Usable 845 MB)
GPU TYPE : ADRENO 203
I have also Checked IMEI on website it shows its Original Samsung win i8552
Also Device can be register with Samsung and i have updated firmware via Wifi.
FIRMWARE : I8552ZTAMG3
Version : 4.1.2
Please help me why my device shows only 1.48 GB instead of 8 GB.
Is there any Device or any Unbranded Version available with these feature ?

May be it is showing used internal memory. And the usable internal memory we used to get 5gb in quattro. Can u please provide a snap in which its stating about 1.48gb of internal memory? If it is really what u r syaing then please go to service centre. And from which region did u buy that phone? The firmware version does not look updated one.

Thanks for reply.
I cannot go to service center because phone is not indian version.
I have searched a lot and finally i found on google that Samsung Has 4GB ROM Version of this phone launched in China.
So finally 1.48GB user available.
Also My Phone baseband itself says its From Taiwan.
I have matched the phone specification on Samsung China official website and they matched with my phone.
I will post the photos soon.
still if you have idea how to expand internal storage please guide me.

Flash indian version of stock firmware to get latest indian version updates and u can move large game data to external memory by using gl2sd app which u will find on playstore. But u have to root ur quattro to use it.

There are several copies of Samsung devices found in the market...my uncle bought a copy of S4 for just 11k...it has all the features of s4 including air gestures...but Android Version is 4.2.9 which proves that the version is not genuine...do check it properly if you paid the same price for the device

This is quite and old thread, and probably you have already found a solution, but I'm in the same situation, and my solution might help you:
1) I installed External 2 Internal app from Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.codlab.int2ext which swaps internal and external memory, so /sdcard point to the external sd card, as in other phones.
2) I installed Link2SD https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD and created a second partition (in ext3 format) on the sdcard, and proceeded to link all apps to this second partition using Link2SD.
This way, I've been able to install several big games (such as Fifa 14 and Real Racing 3), along with around 100 apps, and still keep almost 1 Gb free space.
To use those apps, the phone must be rooted. You have to work a bit, but the results are very nice.

Not quite, since external to internal swaps internal and external memory, so you don't have to link folders game by game. And using Link2SD, as it has an option to automatically link folders, you don't have to worry again, either.

Yes but those r complex for maximum users. I can bet maximum dont know how to create partition.. while gl2sd is far easy and usually we need to move game datas only as there r plenty of space in internal sd card for installing applicatioms..

All those apps require a rooted device, which eliminates most of the average users. Once you know how to root your device and do it properly, using Internal2External or Link2SD is not so hard.

Kingo doesn't work on all versions and firmwares (the same happened to framaroot) and cwm is not for all users. Do you really picture unexperienced users using Odin and downloading firmwares from sammobile or other sites? Come on...

Yes, your free internal memory is normal, cheap phones have very small storage space. You can root and use a root uninstaller to delete system apps you don't use in order to free more space.

By the way you keep asking stuff, its seems like either you're a lazy guy, or your search function does not work. You can find out about such trivial things like using Android Market or finding your apps and games yourself! All of these questions have already been asked before.

go to play store. download "Titanium Backup" - here you can uninstall system apps. BEWARE ON WHAT YOU REMOVE. do a research first of the apps that can be removed.
apps to sd - download Link2SD from playstore.

Better and less expensive way: Use a root file explorer and simply delete the bloatware from /system/app. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU DELETE.
and use an app2sd script if you want to move apks to your SD. This will require a partitioned SD card. I recommend (if you don't already have one) investing in a class 10 SD for faster read/write speeds. app2sd scripts slow down your phone. A higher class SD would fix that issue.
1 question more
After rooted can I install the apps that not supported by my device,
No its not possible to install apps that are not supported on your device.
As some apps depends upon your hardware including processor ,gpu and other configs..

Instead of installing a whole new rom consider creating a layer of apps to get iOS look. These include installing a new launcher, lockscreen app, music player app etc. Do a g search for a more comprehesive list.

No. Unfortunately the memory swap doesn't work for KK (yet).
Though there are some scripts (mostly for locked phones) that allow you to create partitions on sdcard esp for multiboot. But that would require a pretty fast card for one and modifications as per the script and phone.

Hi there.. i just bought SGG2 3 days ago.. and I found out the internal space only 5gb for usage..
since u said SGG2 uses a fstab.qcom file,not vold.fstab... can we confirm that this phone also can swap from external into internal?
I did that method on my Galaxy R i9103.. plugged in 32gb external SD.. and swapped it and become 32gb internal.. hassle free. no need to worry about huge Whatsapp data lol!!
