Hey,
After having the device for a few days, I received a notification that the device storage was almost full. I realised that this was true and I placed some applications in the internal storage.
However, still the device storage doesn't have much capacity and many applications cannot be moved. It's 6.58 gb with runntime space 4.12 and apps 1.8gb already.
Does this happen to everyone or it has to do with my rom?
And can I do anything? Because soon it will be again full, I guess.
Thanks
That is the normal available Space on the Nubia! When it's stock and untouched you have ~2,4 GB Space for Apps! it's possible to chance the partition Size, can be found here how to do it.

hello S3 users,
i wanted to know the memory breakdown of Samsung Galaxy S3.. the internal memory is 16GB.. but what is the application memory? the memory which is allotted for applications?
thanks in advance..
With Ice Cream Sandwich the phone's internal memory should not be more divided into two parts as it happened with Gingerbread or previous versions of android, but it should be completely free to better manage the installation of applications and files that we want to have on our telephone.In Galaxy S3, the internal memory is completely free, then if we use the 16, 32 or 64 GB for all installed applications we can do it! : -)

I have one and even I'm not sure! The phone shows all the memory as if it were one partition (which it possibly is) but says it has 11.35 GB total. If the internal memory and application storage are one partition, I'm curious to know where the rest of the memory is being used.

Not sure I completely understand. Are you saying that the internal storage and application storage are shared under ICS? If so, why does the phone underreport the total size? What uses up the remaining ~4GB?

the rest of the 4GB must be used for the preinstalled system apps and android..
what i wanted to know is what is the memory reserved for applications..
@esist: can you install 'app2sd' application and let me know what memory it shows as application memory? it must show the app memory at the bottom of that application
So if you wipe cache and parition when flash a new ROM it will wipe all internal right?
Install "App Cache Cleaner" (Pro version if possible) & that will show you the exact memory allocated for app installation !! (On using the cleaner it will show you the cache to be freed & total internal memory used as well as free) !!
If you come to know the correct answer please let me know as even i am planning to switch over to GS3 from my present GS2 !!
Hi all,
I've just received my HTC desire x, checking the specs there is written
that the internal memory should be 4GB, but I have just 1GB.
the total space shows 1.09 GB (screenshot attached)
on the HTC website there's written
Total storage: 4 GB, available capacity varies*
and then *Available storage is less due to phone software.
Is it possible that the OS takes 3GB? Seems a bit too much for me...
Any idea?
Thanks all in advance

This is correct man. There is no issue or problem. The system takes ~3gb. Cos imagine when you are factory resetting your phone. The original OS file (called ROM) will reside in that memory with a whole lot of other backup stuff which you cant access.
This is why ppl use CUSTOM ROMS, cos we remove bloatware and other things.
What you see in that screenshot is same as mine and as other. Just buy an external card and it will rock
and please go to about > software update > PRESS CHECK NOW even though "Scheduled Check" is ticked cos there are updates and possibly u have one waiting also.

^ +1.
anyway i cant see why 1gb isnt enough for apps and games. if you have a sd card, it will be more than enough because of the ability to move apps to sd.

Thanks man all doubts vanished now,
does it mean that once rooted (I haven't seen any good rom around yet, please advise if you know any)
I can partition the internal memory? Or it's better not to partition anything for a smoother and faster phone?
Thanks again
Yes 4GB in these mount points:
dev - 303MB
cache - 251MB
data 1,1GB
internal memory (emmc) - 1,1GB
system/942MB
Plus a few more like radio boot and / mount point. It's up around 4GB.
i think you want this? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD
with that app. you will no longer have to worry about low internal storage again. i use that all the time on my previous phone who has low internal memory (400mb below). but with des x i dont need it. 1gb internal memory are a lot!

Is it possible to reformat partitions? Why not to have internal memory (emmc) - 1,1GB and system/942MB merged? I'm not using emmc, cuz I have SDCard for all my stuff, so 1,1 Gb are empty, but I have insufficient space on system.
This device is plagued with a miserably small storage space to store applications on; 160MB system storage and 1GB internal memory. Although I've been moving the compatible apps to the "SD card" a.k.a. internal storage, that 160MB goes insanely fast. I've used link2sd and it helps but doesn't exactly fix the problem, and I would like a permanent fix.
My question to everyone here is how would I go about resizing the partitions safely? I know it has been done for Kindle Fire so it IS possible, but every device is different and I really don't want to brick this phone quite yet.
I am hoping that it is possible to remove the internal storage partition and extend the system partition by that 1GB just so I know for a fact that I'll never worry about app storage again; if not that at least shrink the internal storage and add 500MB to the system partition.
This phone is currently rooted and equipped with clockwork mod recovery, superuser, and busybox. The stock rom has also been backed up via CWM recovery.
Hope to hear from you guys soon!
[Edit] Also I realize this is a cheap phone, but it most definitely does what I need it to other than the lack of useable app storage.
Not to be that guy, but I'm bumping. This thread hasn't had a view in about 12 hours.
Any thoughts, or suggestions? Just want to tell me I'm crazy and shouldn't do it? lol
Hello I have rooted my Galasy S4 and flashed cm onto the device. My question is how do i free up the internal storage? I still only have less than 9.57gb of available storage. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not much really frees up the space because you can break programs or the phone. You can use FolderMount to symlink files from the SD to the Memory Card. Your limited to 3 symlinks unless you buy the program. Myself I couldn't get it to work but maybe I was linking wrong.

Samsung has reserved 6 GB of space for the system, etc. There is no way to get more space, other than an external SD card.
I just have seen screenshots of available storage at 16.00gb mine only shows 9.57gb. That is the only reason I have asked. Thanks for the responses.
There isnt much we can do about that. All we can do is get a larger sd card
Due to variances in how manufacturers measure their space (GB vs GiB: a short version is using 1000MB = 1GB when, strictly speaking, 1024MB = 1GiB), you will never have the same amount of advertised space available on a device.
A device advertised as 16GB will have between 14.3-14.6GiB of available space, depending on the manufacturer. Cut out ~6 of that for Samsung's bloat, and you're left with the 9.x that we currently have.
Whenever possible, store items on your external storage and research if some of the apps you are using will allow the App2SD function (can anyone verify if this still works? I read somewhere it was disabled with the JellyBean update).
Hope that helps, and good luck managing your space. Perhaps its time we all stop being such space hogs ...........(on second thought...nah!)
Guys I am very new here. I created an account for this problem.
My Internal Storage says that im already occupying 51.89 gb out of 64. So Im wondering why is that since i dont have much movies and games in it.
Then i checked my internal storage and checked it's overall data via highlighting all files and folders and clicking details it said 28.81 gb overall.
SO I DONT REALLY KNOW WHERE THAT PRECIOUS 30 GB IS ! SOMEBODY HELP ME. IM LITERALLY CRYING RN.
Was searching someone who has the same problem but i cant find one ;_;
Update:
Just found out the storage breakdown (Lel pretty dumb sorry)
System Memory: 10.02 gb
Used Space: 24.48 gb
Other: 16.93 gb
cached data: 1.94 mb
Is it normal that the used space is separated from the "Other" AFAIK the used space is everything in the internal storage. Now whenever i select the other it also leads me to the internal storage so I am Very confused. I need Halp
