Negative amount of used storage - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hey, I'm running Android 7.1 in cm 14 with agni kernel.
The phone runs great but the storage shown is wrong.
The SD card is SanDisk 32gb class 10 and I can move things to it and use it, but the read value is wrong.
The SD card is formatted as internal BTW.

You shouldnt format it as internal

Why is that?

[Q] 32GB external SD card only shows 1GB available

I have searched high and low for an answer to this but cannot seem to find one. I have recently rooted my NT to use CM 10 and everything appears to be working fine save one exception. I have an external SanDisk 32 GB class 4 card that I am using and it only shows 1GB available when it is installed in my NT. Here are the things I have tried without any luck.
** reformat SD card using SDFormatter.
** double check the partitioning using mini tool and verified that there is only one partition 32GB, FAT 32.
** put the SD card in my laptops SD card reader and I see that all 32 GB are available.
** put the SD card back in my NT and uses AppMgrIII to move the app to external SD, then ejected the SD and saw that the app was no longer available so I know what my NT is calling the SD is in fact my external SD card.
The only thing I have not tried is a new SD. Any clues?
EDIT:
One note, when I go into Settings --> Storage I see two sections marked internal storage and one SD card section.
Internal Storage 1
Total Space 3.97GB
Internal Storage 2
Total Space 29.71 GB (This is my external SD card)
SD Card
Total Space 1.00GB

The 1 GB you see listed is actually internal emmc. Your 32 GB sd is actually 29.71 GB formatted. Your internal user media is 3.97 GB.
This is how internal memory is allocated-
1 GB RAM+1 GB emmc+4GB media+2GB (split between OS and /data)=8GB model.
1 GB RAM+1 GB emmc+4GB media+10GB (split between OS and /data)=16GB model
You did not mention if you have the 8 or 16 GB model. Either way there is nothing wrong with your memory allocation.
I have the 16 GB model. When I try to move apps to SD does it shows it moving to the 1GB sd card which you said was the internal emmc. I will play around some more to see if I can get some more evidence. Thank you for answering!

Are you running an app that mounts/swaps emmc as SD?
No
If you're using paranoid android it swaps the internal storage and SD card. Nothing to be worried about, but if you want it swapped use the succulant build.
did you figure this out? My nook color running 4.0.2 does the same thing (shows 2 external sd cards), and installs all the "sd apps" to the smaller sdcard1 partition instead of my actual external sdcard2. How do I tell it to treat my actual sd as the external sd so I can put all my apps on it?
many thanks

It is "figured out" for OP in the replies. To switch on your build, try asking in the Color forum section. There may be a zip to flash or maybe a change to be made in the build prop. But you need to check it for your device and ROM.
oops sorry, I had so many tabs open researching this I didn't realize this wasn't the NC forum. I have asked in there on a few threads, hopefully something will turn up.
thanks!

[Q] What kind of internal memory S2 have?

Hello,
I was wondering what kind of internal memory, indicated as "USB Memory" has S2 installed?
I got MicroSD card inserted for backups which is 8GB Class 10. And she's speedy. What class or type, in the matter of speed, is internal memory?
What do you mean type of intenal memory? Its FAT32 format and slow while transfer as it is internal storage.
Same spec. Class 10 non removable

[Q] SD Card Issue?

I hope this is the correct place to post this. I have a kyocera hydro edge II roote with framaroot. Running android 4.1.2. Used a 8gb micro sd with fat32 and ext2 partitions that worked fantastic for months. I bought a new 32gb micro sd card to replace my 8gb. The 8gb was partitioned 5gb fat32, 2gb ext2. I moved everything back to internal storage from link2sd. Took the new 32gb card and partitioned 22gb fat32, and 8gb ext2. Copied everything from 8gb fat32 to the 22gb fat32. Put the 32gb in my phone and everything was fine. Using link2sd I linked the apps from internal storage to the ext2 partition.
This morning my phone rebooted and didn't "recognize" the 22gb fat32. It recognized the ext2 just fine. If I go into my phone, under storage, it says I have like 17gb of storage left of the 22gb on my external sd card. So it would appear it does somewhat recognize it. HOWEVER, if I go to Apps, it only says I have 1gb of internal storage, and 1gb of external storage. So i removed my sd card and put it in my computer, and everything is there and the partitions appear fine. I backed up my sd card and reformatted, and my phone still only recognizes 1gb of external storage. Link2sd also only recognizes 1gb of internal AND 1gb external storage. So I downloaded Astro file manager. I open that up and it lists SDCARD0 at 1gb where everything is now going, and then externalSD at 22gb where nothing is going and all my old data is located. My pictures are being read off the 22gb partition. If I take a new picture, it is going to the 1gb whereever that might be. If I put in my old 8gb sd card it has the same results. I took my daughters clean new 8gb micro sd card with nothing on it, and it has the same results. 1gb internal, 1gb external. Once again though, it recognizes the card space under storage, and can be accessed through astro file manager, but it is not reading or putting data there.
I have no clue what's happened or what I can do to get my phone to recognize the 22gb as to where it should reading and putting data??? Do I need to do a back up and factory reset? Start completely over? What are my choices? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you SO much!!!!
OK.... I went into the storage settings, where the 22gb fat32 partition is recognized. I changed "Primary Storage" to the 22gb partition, and everything is back working. Any ideas why? Are there going to be any drawbacks to this?
thanks guys

[Q] Install Android OS on externel sd card

Hi,
because my phones memory is just to slow for everday use (rocking i9000 and my internel memory only reads with 2mb/s and writes with 1 ...) I wanted to install CM11 on my externel sd card and maybe use the internel sd card and memory as data storage. I allready bought a 32 gb class 10 sd card which can do 20 read and 16 write in the phone.
I went looking ony the internet and found a bit but all was assuming that the internal storage is broken and/or ended in dead links.
This was the best I could find: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881143
I would be very happy if someone could give me instructions on how to install CM11 (or any custom rom, should be the same right ?) on a externel sd card.
I thought I post it her in the general section cause this should be similar across most devices out there.
Thanks in advance

There is a way of swapping your internal and external sd cards for use as storage using a script in the internal phone memory but I think that runs after android is loaded using script manager. This sounds like he's done it in a similar way by seeing the external sd card as his internal.

Yeah, figured that by now isn't there a way install the actual OS on the externel sd card ? reasoning for doing this that also the OS gets the speed boost of the faster storage.

Sony microSD problem

I bought a Sony SR32UZ 32GB SDHC/SDXC Class10 UHS-I microSD and after formating to adoptable storage and transfering 10GB data to it from my PC(Titanium Backup, songs, documents, few apk) it becomes damaged after a reboot. Previously I had a Kingston 32GB class 10 and worked fine but I forget to format back to removable sd card and after ROM change it become permanently damaged.
The Sony card is damaged but I can format it to try again but it always become damaged after a reboot both with CM13, Resurrection Remix-M and Resurrection Remix-Nougat. Is this a ROM bug or what?:crying:
The old 32GB isn't damaged. It's encrypted and, thus, inaccessible.
Try to format it in recovery or on a PC.
As for the new one, try formating it again.
I tried a hundred times and it looks like Sony card is only usable on custom ROMs with FAT32. I even tried Link2SD method with FAT32 and second partition with ext4 and ext4 got damaged after reboot.
Try to use minitool to allocate all the space to one partition as fat32 or exfat.
I did that. FAT32 works, exfat is damaged after reboot. But you can't install apps on FAT32.
Perhaps, a problem with encryption?
Hard to say though.
Adaptive storage and data encryption were known to have bugs in the past. As for data encryption, I don't think it has been fixed.
That's why I don't use them.
I'm now using Droidmaster's tweaked 5.0.2 ROM and Link2SD with Sony Microsd. 8GB ext4 partition and 21GB FAT32. Did several reboot and Link2SD is still working. Also my Kingston sd card is dead because nothing can format it, tried with everything, EASEUS, Minitool, Gparted, Windows. Even in phone with a paid and a free partitioning app. I think it is safe to say it is dead. Maybe if I get further problems with sd card I will order a Meizu M5 32GB ROM and 3GB RAM because it is very cheap. I love my G2 mini but these sd card things are frustrating also sometimes would be great if it had 2GB RAM.
