Hello guys, I bought the Lenovo K900 last month. It says its have a 16 gb internal memory, but it was detected only 9gb of internal memory. Is it works that way or is there anything I can do?
Thank You before..:fingers-crossed:
You could try using "clean master" to clear leftover junk files.

Yup sounds about right though I believed it to be closer to 10 or 11. That's just formatting and android taking up the space. All phones computers etcetera list the size that way even though you never get the true size they advertise. Check your /sdfuse folder might be a rom taking up space. You can delete it but should back it up to pc. But it's only gonna get you around 700mb extra.

Do we know the size of the partition for apps yet on the Thunderbolt?
There's a thread in the TBolt forum at droidforums.net by a guy who has a demo unit. If I remember correctly there's 5GB for apps.

I think it's actually after the post I linked to. It is in that thread though.

768 megs of RAM and 8 Gigs dedicated to internal memory, plus 32GB pre-installed memory card are the official specs. If the phone is anything like the Fascinate, or the Droid X, the 8GB internal is divided amongst personal info and room for apps, plus space for storing media as well.
The 32GB card is the kicker. For that reason alone, I'm getting the phone. $100-150 value right there, and assuming its only $200 for the phone, I'm all over it.
Hi All,
There seem to be several different Galaxy S III boards here so I just picked one at random (if it's the wrong place would somebody be good enough to move it to the correct place? Thanks)
I was in a phone shop here in the UK the other day asking about the SIII, and specifically the differences between the three types 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB the salesman said instead of getting one of the bigger ones, I should just get the 16GB model and buy a larger sd, I said that isn't how it worked, but he called another guy over who 100% agreed with him. Still not convinced I came home and had a quick sniff around on-line. This did not help clarify things, there seems to be just as much confusion out there.
Can I ask the experts here at XDA to give a definitave answer on this.
Thanks.

Added later to clarify: I currently have a rooted HTC Desire with a 4GB a2sd partition. Even though the a2sd partition is practally empty the phone keeps complaining that I don't have enough space to install/update things. Although there are thing I want installed that aren't because of this it isn't a HUGE problem, but it's happening more and more as apps get bigger and bigger.
I'm not a big gamer (I pay some but not that frequently), I am a big app nut though. Yes 16GB is more than enough space for me right now, and I know there are options to move some files elsewhere, but if these options are as unreliable as a2sd am I going to be stuck for space again in 12 - 18 months time like I am now?
If you are not a gamer, 16gb model should fit well for daily usage.

You can always use the mod internal2external by Mattiadj in developnent section. Root is required.

If u are a gamer and u don lik to root ur phone( love stock) thn u should go for 32 or 64gb..
If u are a gamer and u lik rooting then u can go for 16gb version +64gb SD card.
If u are a regualr user..without gaming..16gb is sufficient.
Well since the phone has an SD slot you really can just buy a 16GB phone and buy a 64GB SD card..

You can only install apps on internal memory on the S3 also apps can also only use internal memory, which is why people said if you are a mobile gamer to get the 32 or 64GB version.
If you are just a normal user the 16GB will be absolutely fine, just use an sd card, I would say the store staff were half right, they probably don't know we can't install apps to sd.

I best his confusing RAM with non-volatile storage...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Game apps themselves don't use that much data, but it's the game data which can be massive. 9mm itself has about 2gb of data.
Game data can be moved to external storage so even if you are a gamer, 16gb is still good enough. I use 'gl to sd' from the play store which allows me to move data to the external card. There are other options as well, like 'directory bind'.

Clarification.
Hi,
Just added this to the OP to (hopefully) clarify a little:
I currently have a rooted HTC Desire with a 4GB a2sd partition. Even though the a2sd partition is practically empty the phone keeps complaining that I don't have enough space to install/update things. Although there are thing I want installed that aren't because of this, it isn't a HUGE problem, but it's happening more and more as apps get bigger and bigger.
I'm not a big gamer (I play some but not that frequently), I am a big app nut though. Yes 16GB is more than enough space for me right now, and I know there are options to move some files elsewhere if needed, but if these options are as unreliable as a2sd am I going to be stuck for space again in 12 - 18 months time like I am now?

Anybody want to add anything else?
Yes app2sd sucks a bit, I'm using something somehow similar, but more reliable (at least for my opinion)(also additional ext4 partition [20gb], but only mounted at /sdcard/Android to have the game data somewhere else and also because ext4 is way better for such big folders than messy fat32 or exfat).
But I would say go at least for the 32 gb, I'm not that heavy gamer, but I have some high-end games installed and the space is pretty tight at my 16gb device (if iwouldn't have put it to another place and also because I got some other stuff on it which I haven't moved yet).
Yes all is movable somehow, but why should you if you can get more space from the beginning.
16gb are for sure ok and I'm still happy with the device the same way i would with more internal, but I would have taken at least 32gb if it has been available when I bought the device.

so this is the reason they have 16 and 32g models. lock app installs to physical storage so people don't buy large SD cards and rather buy the larger 32gb or 64gb models.
too bad i didn't know this or i would of bought the 32gb.. i figured i could get 16gb and use sd card for extra apps but based on reading it looks like it requires hacking or apps that make symlinks..
why bother putting an SD slot if they're going to restrict what you can put on it.
Hey guys!
This being my first thread here, I hope it is in the right section
Here is my problem
I am looking to buy a new smartphone, and came up with the Sone Xperia ZR, its just around my budget (did not buy it yet, still looking around)
specs wise it is very good, but however there is one drawback, it has 8 Gb internal, (can be extended tough)
I think nowadays 8Gigs is like, nothing..
so my possible sollution was this,
I was going to get an sd card for it, install apps on my phones internal memory but install HD games on the sd card with apps2sd (the one that does not require root)
also movies and music... go to the sd card
what do you think, is this realistic and will it work? I think for normal apps about 4.5(?) gigs should be enough as most of them don't take alof of space, and I am not planning to install 200 apps anyway
Regards
U will have better performence if u intall all in internal mem.
Sd for music and vidz

I bought a 16GB Galaxy Mega, under the settings > more tab > storage it shows total space 16GB and under system storage shows 11.22GB being used. I don't have enough space anymore to install app updates. I have about 400MB free atm and it still says insufficient storage every time I try to update an app.
I read the 8GB should have about 4.8GB user accessible, that would make more sense, but I can't understand how my system storage is so huge. Any idea how to reduce it?
Thanks!!!
Yours must be the 8GB version like mine. Because I have a Hong Kong ROM the total space says 16GB even though it's actually 8GB. If I put a UK ROM on I'd get a very different reading. Does yours have native app2sd support like mine?

Oh no! I thought I bought a 16GB version and had a feeling something was wrong. I'm on a French Rom set to English and yes it supports app2sd.
When I goto application manager and sort by size, my biggest app is gallery with 1.2GB taking up space. I'm not sure why I see that because all of my gallery photos are on SD card. When I try to delete the data and disable the app I don't get that 1.2GB back, is it because those are auto generated thumbnail photos? I can't figure out where all that used space is going, because even if I add all my biggest apps together (not including the gallery) they take less than 1GB. If I have 2GB being used by my gallery and apps, where is the other 2GB being used? Do you have any ideas to free up space?
Does yours say 16GB on the box? Mine is an import from Spain and says 8GB on the box even though the phone reports back as 16GB.
Anyway, I'm not familiar with the French ROM at all. I'm sure if you flashed the Hong Kong ROM you'd get 4.9GB of space available like I did.

Used -266 mb
Cache- 8mb
Miscellaneous - 290

You can compare that to yours.
That is phone internal storage, NOT memory for apps to run.

Hi!
Will be the 8gb internal memory enough for some apps and ocasionally games (moves to sd if can)?
What is standard app size for lollipop? (i.e. facebook, instagram or something)

with a bit clean up of apps you dont need (oem apps), you have about 1,8-2 gb of free storage....
at the moment i have a few installed apps (like ebay, amazon, dropbox and so on.... about 13 apps) and have 1,3 gb free storage...
its okay... but root & link2sd would make the whole thing easier
btw. sry for my bad english

it depends on the app you want to move to sd... i would say about 30-50% of the app size u can move to sd card...
all my apps i have added are about 600mb ... and at the moment i have about 1,3 gb of free storage...
I hope there will be a good root solution, since 8GB is not enough at all. My Xperia V has also 8GB (mid-range device from 2012! WTF Sony?!) and I suffered a lot, even if I used bloatware-free system (CyanogenMod), until I found a very useful guide which helped to re-partition my internal memory and increased my data partition from 2 to 4GB. I hope something similar could be done with M4 too in the future, or at least Link2sd, but we will need root, deadly.
In Vietnamese market, we get the Sony M4 aqua dual with 8Gb! We are all suffering a lots, mostly from those who want to play games with big data.
8 Gigs would be enough if they didn't put so much crap on it. Buy 16 Gig version if you have a chance.
I also sold my 8GB version and bought a new one from Amazon.fr with 16GB (dual-sim). Much much better...
I have one from the last 15 days and i'm very disapointed with it.
The phone already acuses lack of memory and said to uninstall apk and i already took of a lot of stuff from vodafone.
And there are a lot of bugs also.
The SD card is always disconecting, after only reboot everything stays ok without do nothing more.
