QUESTION
the size of my internal storage is 11.4GB (which is 12GB from 16GB, so the phone uses the 4GB as system)
BUT when i format it, it says only 10GB (9.9GB to be exact) is available.
WHY? and what is using the 1.5GB rest of the storage?
Can it be cleaned up?
Another Question
So, as you can see i did a full format of internal storage to START OVER CLEAN
and i copied every thing to "A folder" in my external memory
BUT after i formated the internal memory i went to the External memory to find that my folder turned into a NON recognizable sort of file with 0kb of size.
the memory size shows that my files are in there but WHERE?
my little girl's birthday videos and pictures are in there so i really really need them back.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?

No idea what you are doing but to recover files you can try RECUVA .
Looks like you formatted external sd card .

Take the card out and plug it into your computer.
(Or use my Usb mass-storage mode scripts around here somewhere if you're rooted, it makes no difference)
This is a known issue with the phone and exFAT, Fat32 seems to work fine.
Should the file really be damaged (and not only non-readable by the phone) you can use Recuva as suggested by the parent.
Thank you Guys for the help, and I GOT the whole thing back.
when i removed external memory and put it in my windows laptop (because i did it with mac the first time) i found the folder there.
i renamed it and put it back in the phone and it was OKEY.
QUESTION THOUGH:
as my first post i did this format to have a clean Empty 12GB of internal memory BUT i end up having less than 10GB even after format.
What is this and why can't i empty the rest?
You can't just format the internal memory as it is using a shared file system with the system. Can you tell us what you did to format it?

i connected it to the computer and did a format.
it was totally fine but it shows the Total size is 11.9GB and after format it still uses about 2GB and says 9.9GB available (2GB used)
the total size of the internal memory is 16GB and 4GB is used by the System but why 2 more is taken from the 12GB too
Probably installed apps. They share the available space with the folder you see as /sdcard/. Check your storage in the settings.

Gents,
Got a bit of a strange problem. A few weeks ago I flashed resurrection 3.1.3... so far so good. Yesterday I watched some pictures with my friends. Today ALL my pictures and other jpg. images are gone. Just vanished overnight... Not only from my external SD but also from my internal SD. It's unbelievable!!!
The map structure on my external SD is still intact. Mp3, pdf etc. are still there but everything with extension .jpg is gone. Strangest thing is that the image map of WhatsApp on my internal SD is empty as well. Tried to recover the pics on my external SD with DeCuVa (put SD card in card reader) and for some it worked. Unfortunately all the recovery progs don't recognize the internal phone SD because you don't see 2 removable drives like it used to be with earlier versions but you see the phone device.
Does anyone know with which prog I can clone my internal SD so I can try to recover the pics on my internal SD as well. Or maybe another sollution???
thnx a lot!!!
ciao
My sdcard slot is broken and because of that I can't have an sdcard in my phone. So apparently to take pictures with camera you need to have an sdcard in your phone. Is it possible to somehow emulate about 500mb of my phones internal memory to appear as an sdcard to be able to take pictures?
In my phone's memory card (sd card) after mistakenly used overspace (full capacity of memory space) its become croupt and it s doesn't showing anything (become vanished from phone) ? Pls help me its there anyone have solution to get my sd card memory back (imp. photos , files, my full life memorable things back ?)
Hi there, I have formatted my micro mini sd card a lot of times, a few quick formats and a few hard formats. I've tried to erase all data on sd card is well, still shows files on card. When I view my photos I've captured it comes up like a paint brush brushing over my entire photos grey. Then it says sd card unmounted. If I turn phone off and back on, I go into my gmail to save images and then my images come up corrupted once I view them in my gallery. Takes a while to load. I've tried the regedit stuff, disk management stuff, disk list stuff. Haven't found any of those to work. I have a 32gb mini micro sd card in a Sony Xperia Arc S LT18i. Please help.

Hello.
Seems like the floppy old school problem: the file system corrupted. Something is going bad on the sdcard, have you tried format that sdcard on another device, and try to save images from there? If it keeps doing that error, itˋs the sdcard which is corrupted. If not, the phone. But I wouldnˋt put in risk future files, I would throw away that sdcard. Can get problems in the future.
Saludos.
