Hi Guys!
Im just asking for system space on internal memory.
Im on MIUI 8 Global Beta and locked BL, my Phone is Snapdragon version with 16/2GB memory. There is only 11,8GB space showing on system drive with around 4GB available of this space.
Shouldnt it be showing 16GB space on system?! Or is Android System taking around 4 to 5 GB for itself??
Bye,
Andreas
There will be some difference in storage size available due to the difference in the way manufacturers calculate storage size. Manufacturers usually use 1GB = 1000MB, but it is actually 1GB = 1024MB.
Also, the android system will take up quite some space. I use a 32/3 GB kenzo myself, and android system shows as 7 GB.
If you require more space, you can try clearing the cache from settings.

Hi all
About the phone memory.. (not SDcard memory)
I think it has 170 MB user available of the total 512 MB RAM, is this correct?
The 170MB user available are for apps and android OS storage?
Can this be more balanced so I can install more apps ?
If so, what can happen if the 342MB left, became only 312 if the 170M are raised to 200M.
Where are this 170MB mounted? (if they are mounted)
Is the memory partitioned like an disk is?
Thanks

The 170MB you're reading about is flash memory available for the user (even without SD card).
It has nothing to do with the 512MB RAM in the phone.
So I have 3 completely separate kinds of memory
The 170M of user memory (for apps and OS instalations?)
The 512M of RAM (used like PC RAM?)
And SD card
Is this correct?
If so, I think there is no way to increase the 170M since it's a separate memory.. correct?

Hello guys,
I've got a question...
When I connect the Tab to the PC, all the folders are about 4 GB,
and the Free Space is about 5GB.... so... 9 GB in total
Where are rest of the 16GB of storage?

The rest consists of various partitions for cache, system, data etc...

So it's normal that the Storage capacity that Windows shows me it's about 10 gb, thanks
This is true of all electronic devices nowadays (running any OS). They're advertised by the total flash storage, but the amount actually available to the user is reduced by the amount used by system and other partitions. It's annoying, but it's an advertising tool that everyone uses, so none of the manufacturers would get any benefit from being honest...
The previous posts are only partly correct. Honeycomb shares the 16GB between the internal memory and the 'SD-CARD'. If you install 1GB worth of apps (hard to do) your 'SD-CARDs' memory deminishes by 1GB. In the previous versions of Android, the partitions were fixed, meaning that if your predefined internal memory was full, you couldn't install anymore apps. Honeycomb overcomes this limitation by dynamically sharing the whole internal memory between internal storage and 'SD-CARD'. Additionally the system itself resides in this memory, deminishing it by the size of the OS.

Hi!
I have a Colorfly e708 Q1 tablet
According to the specifications it should have 8GB storage...
According to the tablet's system’s settings/storage menu, it has two internal storages (one being 1.48GB, the other being 3.76GB)
Now, I was wondering whether the two internal storages, the sum of which is 5.24GB, equal 8GB what is written in the specifications?!?
5.24GB = 8GB ?
In the android system's settings/storage my tablet shows this (yes, two internal storages are shown here):
internal storage
total space 1.48GB
available 1.29GB
internal storage
total space 3.76GB
available 3.70GB
I presume this means, that the system and installed apps take up 0.19GB and 0.06GB (sum 0.25GB) space from TOTAL and the available is what is left for me to use.
Now then, DOES this tablet HAVE 8GB or NOT?
Or do I get it wrong? Does the android system take (8GB-5.3GB=) 2.7GB space (?!?), which is absolutely not visible nor manageable for me?!
Then what takes up the 0.25GB space? All the installed APPs seen in the tablet’s settings/applications menu use 188MB, I added them together
In the android system's settings/applications menu the tablet shows:
RAM 262MB used 479MB free (sum = 741MB; this should be 1GB according to the tablet's specifications... but at least this is near to 1GB)
internal storage 188MB used and 1.3GB free (sum = 1.48GB)
SD card storage 58MB used and 3.7GB free (sum = 3.76GB)
I don't have any external microSD inserted into the tablet, so the so called SD card storage is an internal storage as well, as the settings/storage menu showed earlier.
So in my opinion the 188MB and 58 MB (sum = 246MB = 0.25GB) is the space which the system and pre-installed apps used up.
Someone told me, that tablets like this one, have system restore partition, and other partitions I cannot see, without being rooted. OK, but if the whole system takes up 0.25GB, then why would such partitions need 2.7GB?!
Or where is 2.7GB?
I don't think that my other hypothesis, that the android system would use 2.7GB, is correct ... And also that situation would rise the question (for me) mentioned earlier: what is the 0.25GB?
Please help, because I'm thoroughly confused.
If I plug in the tablet to a PC, it sees only 3.7GB capacity.
In my opinion, (what I would call "storage space"), this tablet has only 3.76GB, that is cc 4GB storage . But mybe I'm not right... I don't know
PLEASE HELP!! I bought a tablet, that was declared to have 8GB capacity. Have I been deceived/cheated or not?
I use a 9 inches Qpad, rooted, owl upgrade bootloader. Model number L916-3 internal memory is 16gb partitioned into 2.. 4gb for installation and 12gb as internal sdcard.. 32gb external sdcard.. 2gb Ram
Now, the first problem is aver since the day I started using it, the Ram as been used up even though there are very few applications installed. I usually have less than 350gb free ram space. So the device is slow..
Second problem is I installed the things I needed along the line, but recently I realized applications are missing on my phone, like 11 of them, at first I think this is nothing.. I tried to instal some again then it says insufficient memory.. then I uninstall some applications, some well above 45mb, and yet I can't instal back an application of 850kbytes.. and I still have above 3gb free internal memory, 7gb free internal sdcard and 28gb free external sdcard.. please help me, my device is becoming useless
I was checking a friend's phone because he had less than 2GB of space when his device's supposed to have 8GB. I went to check the partition status on TWRP and System had less than a 1GB. What I found strange's that his data partition had more than 5.000MB, but it only had a little more than 1GB used and only around 600MB free.
