I checked my phone's spec and the internal storage displays its 28gb available of 32gb of space, but I checked my file manager it only displayed 10gb of internal storage, this is a used phone I bought from someone, It's not rooted (I checked it) but it's unlocked though and as far as I know, this model is 16gb of internal, how do I fix this?

I just bought a Nexus 4 with 16GB internal storage. In Settings, it shows that I have approximately 13GB available. Am I correct in assuming that the OS is using the other 5GB?
The reason why I am curious about this is because I am considering buying the Zopo ZP900, which comes with only 4GB of internal memory for Ice Cream Sandwich. Although I've done quite a bit of research on the ZP900, I'm unable to find any resource that documents the size of the "Device memory" and "USB storage" partitions; looks like I might have to actually buy the phone just to find out! I really disklike the idea of buying a phone only to learn that there's minimal available memory.
I've noticed a few user comments on GizChina where users have complained about phones with only 30MB of available internal memory. Yes, the memory can be expanded with an SD card, but some applications require installation to the internal memory.
I searched the forum for an existing thread on this issue, but couldn't find one; please forgive me if this post is re-hahsing an old issue. Thanks.

16-13 = 3. (not 5) and that part of memory taken up by system includes space for installing apps and stuff. Just get a 16 or 32 gb SD. (not for nexus4, I know) yeah some apps go into internal memory. Keep the unmovable ones on internal and move others to SD. mine has 8 gb internal memory. 4gb taken up by system.
yes the cut off space is used by the os and dedicated internal space for installation of apps n games. I think u cant install apps in your remaining internal memory. apps can installed only in dedicated internal memory or sdcard. if can also use ur remaining internal memory as sdcard by the help of rooting.
Ok, so I just received a new Lenovo Ideapad a2107a-h from ATT. This is supposed to be a 16GB tablet. When you go into storage under settings, it says that I have 503 MB of intenal storage and then 12.99 GB of internal memory. It gives me an option to default install apps to internal memory, but it goes right to the internal storage of 503 MB. Even when I move some apps, there is a few mb's that get left behind. Once I fill up that internal storage of 503 MB, it tells me I am out of space, yet I stilll have 12GB of internal memory. ATT swapped out my tablet, it has the same issue. Lenovo says they have never heard of this befoer and I should just have 12.99 GB (16GB) of storage, period. Anyone know why this would be like this? Also, when you go to apps, it shows the 12.99 GB as SD storage?

Hi. Im a bit confused.
I bought this Huawei phone Ascend Y200 with full consciousness about its unimpressive but good enough internal memory, but what surprised me is the fact that I got low memory message only after few apps installed, and I installed them them on 8GB SD card.
So I went to storage in settings and saw this :
Internal SD card
Total space 17.96MB
Available space 15,97 MB
Internal storage
Available space 4,79 MB
What in the world is that, i dont know.
I had android phones before, but I never saw something like this...
There was always SD card memory and internal memory, and internal was always as it was, 250 or 500 MB, depending of what mobile phone i had at the time.
But this has "SD card", "Internat SD card" and "Internal storage" and these last two are very small as you see.
thank you.
Have you tried Link2SD ?
I'm not sure exactly what model your phone is but I have a Huawei Ascend Y and it too has a memory short problem.
If you are rooted, it allows a partitioned SD to act as a linked storage area and you can move some of your non-system
apps to SD and link them thereby saving the internal memory of the phone.
After using the subject tool the internal memory is now over 44 megabytes on mine. Check it out on Google Pay! er,ah Play.
I recently bought an Oppo Joy 3 and so far I haven't encountered any problems except the emulated storage which has been eating up most of my internal memory. Would it be possible for me to change it's directory to my external, not to the emulated memory???
Note : I have already rooted my device and I haven't done anything to it yet.
I have a spare cheap ZTE phone that only has 8GB internal memory.
So I added a 16GB external SD card and formatted that as Internal Storage. Now on the android phone, I was finally happy to be able to have all the apps install on the external 16GB microsd card.
In the android storage settings, it also shows up as 24 GB total (8GB phone plus 16GB microSD)
However, when I use ES Explorer or when I connect it to a PC, it only shows me 3.24 GB so I can't copy any music, photos, or large files... it's not letting me access/use that rest of the 24 GB I'm supposed to have available because Android seems to encrypt it (as it was Android formatted it as internal storage, I believe).
Android understands it has 24GB available when installing apps, but it only thinks it has 3.24 GB when trying to copy data files.
What is the deal with that? What should I do? Is there a workaround or fix?
