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.

Hey mate how u going at making a rom?
There is a much easier way now.. You can convert the portable storage SDcard to an adoptable sdcard which merges with the system. Now originally converted the portable storage to adoptable thinking it would move more apps to the sdcard and leave more free space. But it in reality did not do much more than manually moving the apps to the sdcard. So I ended up with 1GB or so of free internal memory.. But all the memory free and how much memory was present was screwed up because it says I have like 64gb memory when I only have 16gb and 32gb so total 48gb.. And it only showed the free memory of either the internal or the sdcard. And no google program allowed me to move it to the sdcard.. So all that work and having to reinstall everything and add in the accounts and such were rather useless.. Other than to see that samsung does have the option to format something as portable or adoptable.. Using the ADB shell ofcourse..
here you can add part of the sdcard to the adoptable memory and the rest as regular sdcard memory.. Rather pointless actually other than the adoptable memory is encrypted and unreadable on the pc using a card reader..
Using the ADB shell in the command within a windows command window.. I use TCC which is a replacement command.com for windows from long ago and works like the unix shell.. Microsoft has changed the command.com to cmd.com now and you can bring it up by typing CMD into the search programs and files window.
Type sm list-disks and record the disk IDs that come up like disk:179,64
use the format sm partition DISK:TYPE:RATIO to change the type...
Enter the disk ID where it says DISK, TYPE is either ‘private’ to adopt the entire microSD card or ‘mixed’ to use a portion of it. RATIO is only used if you select mixed. So a command would be something like: ‘sm partition disk:182:160 private’ to adopt the entire storage. Or ‘sm partition disk:182:160 mixed 50’ to adopt 50% of the microSD card.
sm partition disk:179,64 private
sm partition disk:179:64 mixed 50
also the command adb shell pm set-install-location 2
Which is supposed to set the location of the downloaded installs to the sdcard.. Which also does not really do much..
Now the command to turn that portable sdcard to adoptable..
adb shell sm set-force-adoptable true
would format the sdcard as adoptable.. Supposed to let you format it from the control panel and let you select portable or adoptable etc but not so.. You only get the option to format is as portable..
But internally it does have the option even if you normally cant get to it..
Well samsung pushed a new update from oct 18th and I got it a few days ago.. It was available for many months in like new zealand for some reason.. The oct update is named T355YDOU1BPJ1.. Since the last update was only a month before I was surprised as once its past an year samsung dont really care about such things.. so 2 updates in 3 months is kind of a shock..
Well anyway the update was like 440mb in size or the full mage is like 1.5gb.. It took over 15 minutes for it to re flash all the system files and over an hour to play with the apps.. so fully charge the device first..
I had the pixel launcher and it kept on crashing.. So went back to google now launcher which seemed stable.. And the tab was extremely slow to do anything.. For most things this is a rather fast tab even if the cpu is lame and slow at 1.2ghz only.. But for normal use it is fast for most things.. Sure wished I could go back.. I had it running for more than 2 days on a single charge by now.. Not really using it heavily but from a day it going to over 2 days is nice.. It gives almost 7-8 hours or playing or watching movies otherwise anyway.. Now the CPU was stuck above 50% and rebooting and all that after all the work was depressing..
But anyway now it is stable.. no reboots and speed seems to have come back to normal..
Now why would I post all this here.. Well that is because I just went and checked the free memory.. and WOW.. 3.5GB..... So it was migrating data off the internal memory to the adoptable sdcard memory before when it was acting up.. Yes that is an option now that shows up when you go to th storage internal memory option and once you use that ADB command to change it from portable to adoptable.. And it has given me an extra 2.5Gb of free memory.. How I dont know.. google still dont allow you to move their stuff to sdcard. Neither does microsoft and some others..
I suppose this new update actually moves the data part of those apps that does allow you to move them to sdcard to really move it to the sdcard like adoptable storage..
Well I dont know if this update also does the same thing with portable memory.. But before the data still stayed mostly in the internal memory even if the app could be moved to the sdcard.. OR the data was still in internal memory even after you moved it to the sdcard and there was a bug which never deleted the data from the android secure storage area and still took up space..
Apps like whatsapp wont let you move it to the sdcard now.. It could be moved before but the widgets would not work..
So those looking for debloated roms and such.. this might be a quick fix.. You can download the firmware yourself and use odin to flash it if you did not get the OTA.. I dont feel like voiding the warrenty on something that works so well.. Rooting and such is a real pain unless you want to spend a lot of time playing with things. But rooting and using titanium backup also lets you delete old system apps and replace it with new updates in the system partition and not use up valuable internal memory area.. Or it allows you to get rid of it entirely.. Just the Microsoft stuff takes up like a gb of space and they are useless apps all tied to online and their account and such. I suppose I am preparing myself for when the warranty runs out to root and get another 2gb of free space or so. by getting rid of the useless bloated apps but until then the 3.5gb of free internal memory will suffice. The sdcard has disappeared now from lock screen security and encrypt sd card says no sdcard present. and the entire memory is now encrypted.
https://samsung-firmware.org/all/
ps..my wife has a tab4 with a 64gb sdcard and even though it gives 2gb of free space out of the 8gb internal memory.. The facial recognization stay awake keeps storing useless pics and filling up the space even when the function is not used.. So every week have to delete 10,000 files to make space as it keeps saying no memory.. So samsung does not always fix bugs.. even though they pushed a security update earlier in the year for a 3 year old device.. it is like the little brother to this one and actually works much better if they fixed all the problems as this one is too big to carry around all day.. But this one is great when looking at maps travelling.

Hey everyone. So I've unlocked, rooted, and flashed a custom rom. After doing all this, it shows my SD card is only 10gb. I've tried a factory reset, and wiping internal SD, but it still only shows a max size of 10gb. Any knowledge on how to fix this? Or is it just fubar'd?

I knew this would happen when people got their Prime day devices. I haven't received mine yet to start development but I can tell you this:
This would mean the system partition / recovery partition make up for the 6 GB in laments terms. This means the 10GB you see is for media, storage, and additional data storage, hence why it has a mini SD slot. I'd recommend an ultra 128GB sd card which you can buy here
Hope this helps.

Hey, my sincerest apologies for the lack of reply. I just found the email alert that someone replied. That makes sense. I have an external SD card in there now, I was just concerned I may have done something wrong. As my Note 2's internal SD card died (they suffered a defect which I had no idea about) and was a bit concerned I was on that path again.
Wondering if a certain virus is stopping certain applications from installing on my gs5. How would I know vs if my internal memory is failing?
Can you be more specific?

I've never heard of a virus doing that, particularly on Android at that. The only way I can think of that would get you some results is to factory reset and see if the issues persist, or if you're rooted install another rom and see. These are the only ways in can think of to narrow it down.

It also happens when you have a cracked version of an app and you try to install another app from the same developer and thus the developer blocks the installation of it's other apps

most google and mainstream apps install
others say they ran out of space
did the facotyr install and another rom. ithink my internal memory is failign but my knox counter is up. samsung woudl repair this for free if it weren't. wow $250 on a gs5 on swappa and 2 years later its gone down the ****ter.
Any other advice? Most places charge $130 to replace the motherboard

Which gapps package are you using? If you're using > nano gapps there is a possibility for the system partition to be full.
Do a clean ROM flash with nano gapps. If the problem still exist tell me which ROM you are on.
Cheers !

Damn didnt' think of that....haven't had a problem like that since Android 2.x on my motorola droid. Using Ressurection Remix. Def don't use nano
Update: WOW. Wtf so I did wiep system, but remember doing it before? Instead I solved a problem many might be getting a new phone for and dishing out hundreds for it, thinking their internal memory is bad
Solution: For anyone reading this. I had previously, some time ago switched my external sd card to shared internal storage (VERY bad- dont do this, expandable memory like an sdhc card is NOT made for a lot of read/writes and it will ruin it). So if the internal memory under under settings->memory reads 'shared' FORGET the external memory card....this resulted in my internal sd card being read properly, not being read as USB mounted and a plethora of ****ty problems
EXTREMELY poor design by google that the internal 'shared memory' ghosted over from rom to rom even!
Will robustly test this over the next few days and get back
hi,
I flashed xiaomi.eu rom on mido of my uncle, it shows around 25gb of usable storage space.. is this correct?
on my redmi note 3 with slimrom I got 29gb free.
second question .. I flash the rom in twrp and wanted to delete the rom file after that. but I just can't find it? might it be that this file still uses space?
In the 32gb storage, system, data, and other things use it also. It's not only the space for media etc... And don't even compare other devices, because they are all different with different size ROM's etc..
Here it is lol i have only 1.5 gb left
Anyone know why if we install a custom rom, it's still missing 6GB that goes to "System"? I get around 24-25GB after installing RR.

Install the app "DiskInfo" and it will show you how much space has been allocated to each partition. On mine (Slim) the system partition is 3GB, and the data partition is 24GB.

Yes, mine is similar, but there's missing space. There's still 5GB that's "System" but we can't use it and it's not being used by the ROM. Should be leftover from MIUI. Trying to figure out how to get back that space.. because 32GB isn't really that great when it's really 27GB (then less system, giving 22GB usable).

I am not sure why the space is not being recovered. Perhaps if you posted a screenshot of your disk map, as reported by DiskInfo, someone might be able to give helpful tips.
On the other hand, you can try installing Slim. It might well recover some of that space for you. I went from stock miui to MultiPro, to OctOS, to Slim. Clearly, somewhere along the line, something recovered all my space for me. By the way, when I refer to installing Slim, I mean a clean flash.

So, I ran Disk Info (thanks btw, great app) and I'm thinking the problem is the TMPFS mounts that are taking 2x1.5GB = 3GB away. Everything else looks normal. 3GB system, 24GB user.

No, that is not a problem. Everything looks as it should be (exactly the same on mine). I wouldn't worry if I were you. But if you want to try something else, then perhaps you can try cleaning your installed system with SD Maid. It is likely to recover some space from app corpses, etc.
