Internal Storage limited to 1,3G from 16G - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Greetings people,
I own a Lenovo k50 t (a7000) and i recently took it to a phone "service" shop, if i can call it that way, to install a add less ROM.
Said and done, i leave my phone there and return a few hours later to pick it up, everything seemed fine till i wanted to install a new app.
I got a error message telling me i had insufficient space, which is strange since it had a fresh OS on it, so i decided to check the storage space details
and to my amazement it showed me i had 1,3 Gigs total internal Memory from wich 1,2 G was used by the OS. I used ES File Explorer to look up the storage details.
Then i did the same thing using the storage details tab from the OS "settings" window and it showed 16Gigs of wich 14,5 Gigs being "OS Used".
I got a feeling that the partitions got damaged or something like that.
I already tried formating everything via CWM and reinstaling a new software, it worked but the partition was still the same size, 1.3 Gigs.
Could anyone help me out please?
Thanks in advance,
Mike.

I took it back to the service and the guy managed to fix it.
He wouldn't tell me how tough.
Im guessing the partitions were screwed up and he rewrote those.

[HELP] Strange files using all RAM-memory!!

I suddenly noticed that I only had about 1MB free program memory left to play with (when I usually have about 15MB). I searched the whole memory for large files and find these in the Windows folder:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
They do totally use up ~20MB!
I can also see that they were created on the 15th January (yesteday) thus I'm quite sure it has to be these file that caused my memory loss.
The files are not able to delete.
Does someone have a clue of where the files came from and what to do to get ried of them?
Help would be very much appreciated.
AFAIK the files are related to Pocket Outlook.
These files should be maintained by Pocjet Outlook as well
Tried a soft-reset?
Have you restored any backup or something?
I also noticed on your screenshot that the files are double as well, one with 2,71MB size and one with 2,62KB????
The are _not_ using your memory. They are Pocket Outlook databases and i have no idea why OS shows it (another bug in WM2003 for XDA?) but if you do a hard reset and sync, you'll have these files, BUT you'll have allmost all avaible memory. So they are just showing these big sizes but they're not - you shouldnt care about it .
I removed all my programs (installed on SD-card) before I would do a hardreset and then my old ~15MB memory was back(?) I reinstalled the programs and the memory is as high as is were before
Conclusion: Something must have went wrong when installing a program to the SD-card
Thanks for the help, though. Now I know that those files I found are not evil.
it's not a 2003 bug because 2002 showed them aswell

[Q] Free space allocation on Mozart

Howdy,
can someone briefly explain space allocation on the mozart, and tell me how to get more...?
I've set the reserved for ther PC space setting in Zune to be 0%, yet I still seem to have nearly 900MB reserved.
In total only have around 4 GB of my device available to store music on.... surely Windows Phone 7 OS idoesn't take up the remaining 1.8GB in size?!? It's listed as "Free Space", but doesn't seem to be available to me!
Please see attached for current status - are there any tools to examine / free up space? It was only flashed last week, and updated to latest build.
Thanks,
Dom

this usually happens when you connect your phone to multiple computes (Even if it is just for charging)
The only way to free the space is to hardreset the phone..
I know it is dumb but I had to do it
thanks for the reply, but you are kidding me right?
simply charging the phone in a different PC, without synching can do this?? wow!
I've only just got the thing setup how I like it, all email and everything synched, apps installed etc.
And with no way to backup everything I have to reset and start over again..!>!?!?
MS have so nearly a done a good job with WP7, but i keep finding major flaws in their thinking that are beginning to outweigh its' slickness...
(no drag and drop - zune sync only - no phone backup a la SPB - no outlook sync)
Anyone else any ideas how I can reclaim the 1.8GB "free" space?

Miui apps to sd

I am unable to move programs to my sd card it tells me there is not enough free space but the internal storage has 1.3 gb free and the sd card has 8 gb free.

I guess I never asked a question, has anyone else seen this or knows how you address it?

Click to expand...

Were you plugged into USB at the time? did it actually have write-access to your SD card? Try rebooting once. Could be one of the numerous glitches we are finding on MIUI....who knows.
No I was not plugged into the usb, I have also tried rebooting, I rebooted into the recovery and cleared both cache files. I also tried repair permissions.
No luck, I am pretty sure this started when I got stuck in a boot loop between builds then I had to odin back to stock and wipe data.
Afterwards I restored from my miui backup then this occurred.
I guess the only thing to try is to wipe all 3 and reinstall without restoring.

I was able to move them to the sd card after uninstalling and reinstalling each individual app.

[HELP]Problem with memory partitions and low system memory message

First off, I have a Galaxy S5, rooted, xposed installed, with 6.0.1.
So I partitioned my SD card a few months ago and I haven't had any issues. My apps were installing just fine and I was no longer getting any errors in regards to low system memory.
Today, I received the dreaded low system memory message and went to investigate.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I try to view the details under User Data, thing's don't quite add up:
I am fairly tired so pardon my mistake in judgment if the solution is simple. However, I cannot wrap my head around why I am getting this error when everything was working fine previously.
When I plug in my phone, this is what you see in regards to the visible partitions:
As you can see, there is a lot of memory left on both internal storage and the SD card.
In addition to the phone storage indicated there, I had also partitioned off a portion of my SD card to be used as app storage. As it stands, when I go to storage, this is what is shown:
Here are the details of the expanded storage and again, I am unable to make sense of the numbers.
If you could provide some assistance in making sense of this, I would be eternally grateful! Thanks!
My guess is that maybe at some point I had booted up my phone without my SD card in and it changed how the partition was recognized and all of the app data was migrated back over to the phone. This would mean I would have to back up my SD card, delete all of the partitions, and then repartition the card using ADB. I hoping this is not the case because I don't remember that process being fun.
Again, thanks ahead of time and hopefully there is an easy solution to this.

Question Back up with Macrium Reflect free on Win11

Hello, I bought a new laptop, installed windows 11 and all the programs I need, the computer doesn't need anything else and from now on I would like to save the system and all the programs installed in case of unexpected events.
I downloaded Macrium Reflect free (it's in Italian but I couldn't choose at the time of installation).
Now I'll explain my doubts; I have a 1tb external hard drive, with Mini Partition Tools I created two partitions, one of 100 gb in which I thought of saving the data and the other of about 800 gb that I would like to use to keep the games and programs that I rarely use, in your opinion is it ok to create a backup in a partition of an external hdd? Can it work? Can I format a pc by making it choose the iso from a hdd partition?
I created a backup and had Macrium verify the iso, it says everything is fine.
Another question, in the Macrium screenshot you can see the ssd on which the operating system is installed, the first one in the list (the one with the ticks), when you do a backup, you have to include all those partitions or you only need the one where the operating system is installed?
Third and last question, I'm doing all this in case I have problems with the PC and I want to format and re-install everything, to do this, what should I do? A backup? Create a system image ? Or other options?
Thanks to anyone willing to read and help me out.
