Hello everybody, i have a i9500 phone, with crash rom installed..
Here is the question,
In the storage section,
All Storage is 8,8
Apps are 2.9 GB
Photos, videos are 125 MB
Audio is 496 KB
Downloads is 114 MB
And the others are 44 and 70
But it says usable storage is 1,09
As you see, usable storage should be at least 4-5 gb,
Why is it like this and what should I do?
Tried flashing other roms like cm11 and phoenix, but no help.
Wiping data doesn't help either.
What should I do?

U can go check in settings -> more -> storage -> misc and see there can b thumbnail files with 100s mb of size u can delete that. Its not going to harm your real photos. Plus if u hv a backup there like Titanium or nandroid u can delete that too to increase space
If none works
Thn there is always external SD

I have same problem. I calculate and all files 4 GB Capacity 8.9 GB it means around 5 GB free space. But it shows 200 MB free space. I could not understand why.

Did you guys solve this?
Anyone know how to fix this?
I was on custom rom, I had this problem. Now i'm back to stock but still 2 GB missing.
Solution
Alright finally fixed it. With ES file explorer I went to mnt > shell > 0 > Android > obb. Apparently, there were 2 game files that should've been deleted but for some reason they were there.
So yeah whatever it is, it can be found with root file explorers and can be deleted, you just gotta search.
Worth noting: if you've ever made a backup via recovery (cwm), it will eat up a good 3-4gb.

Yes but it would be seen in the storage info under miscellaneous category. The problem here was that some of the memory was missing without any info as to what's using it.

No, it doesn't show up on misc. Titanium backup will be listed, but not if you backed up using recovery. The back up I'm referring to is of the phone in its entirety which can be between 3-6gb.

HI, I'm currently using ics beta 10 as a rom for my hd2 but then I only got 150 mb of internal storage what's worst is that the actual storage I get to fill is only around 50 mb cause the rest 100 mb is being used by the rom applications, is there any way I could increase the size of my internal memory? can't install apps cause they say insufficient memory like if I have 30 mb left and the app size is around 17 mb it's still insufficient, thanks for the help!

disclaimer: not responsible for any data loss or whatever issues you might do to yourself and no, this will not increase the total size of your sdcard space (which on the 32gb model LG G2 is 25gb)
I've just had an issue where my storage space just wouldnt add up and it bothered me
situation:
"SD card" size: 25GB
actual data on sdcard "16GB" (check with x-plore or any prefered file manager
free space: in my example it was just 2.8Gb
i checked my /data size and it was about 3gb.
so i was missing about 3-4GB of space.
solution for my situation:
check /data/media/obb
here i had large files from 1 current game and games i've allready uninstalled.
these files were obsolete in my case. I dont know how this happens, maybe it happens when switching roms. but if you feel you got some space missing its definetly worth a check.
On my nexus7 the /data/media/obb and /sdcard/Android/obb are linked and show the same content.. dont know why it is not so on the g2.
note: this files presist also when doing full wipes (if you dont wipe internal storage) because recoveries like TWRP skip /data/media folder because it has references to the sdcard.

So how are you suggesting to deal with this?
I just explained. Check if you have stuff in /data/media/obb. If you have, you probably shouldnt have. Try and delete and check if that app still works.

OK so I'll just have to go through with a fine comb and match files and delete ones that shouldn't be there basically right... My question is the g2 comes with 32gb storage. I am using cm11 and I deleted the stock backup.. Where is all that extra space lol..

no you wont get any more than 25gb, because the rest is mounted on /system which doesnt change size when you install diferent rom.
in my example i had 1.5Gb file from fifa14 in /data/media/obb and also in /sdcard/android/obb i deleted the one in /data/media/obb and fifa still runs fine. the other files 2GB in size, were from games i've uninstalled or didnt install on the new rom. maybe its left overs from swiitching roms... anyway.. i got my space back.

I understand what you're saying and I am glad that you got your space back but what I am saying is I am running cyanogen mod and it is about 400 megabytes total.. I deleted the 3gb of stock ROM... Where is my extra space.. See what I mean lol.. Its because of the partition..I just need to figure out how to re divide up that space

I dont think you can. Especially not with a locked bootloader. I know it was possbile to do this on my old HTC, but right now on the LG G2 is not.
you have your extra space on /system .... if its any use of you

I have a SG S4. its internal memory is 8.91 GB (available for my use)
Now the Used space is 4.52 GB (I checked through EX File Explorer app,including hidden folders)
So the free space should be around 4.3 GB, but there is only 1.48 GB free space available now. I have cleared all cache data too.
I cant understand what happened to the remaining 3 GB. I mean, I dont have any data which could consume 3 GB memory, even any apps.
1. What could be the reason for this?
2. Is it possible to retrieve that 3 GB. If so, how can i do it?
I want a solution without resetting the device.
Anyone please help me out with this.

Hi mate ,
Did you make anandroid backip in your internal SD?????
HI Max, Thank u for the response.
you mean backup of my apps? No, there is no backup of any apps in my internal memory.
I have checked each folder by folder through ES File explorer app. I cant find any files occupying the above mentioned 3 GB space.
Any suggestions?

This. CWM recovery hides the nandroid very well, so it doesn't show up at all. And a nandroid of a touchwiz ROM takes up just about the missing 3gb of space you have lost.
Is there anyone who can tell me how to fix my internal storage problem? I am currently on crdroid 8.1 ROM but it just showing me 9.5 GB of current internal storage in every file manager but it shows 13.55 GB of internal storage in settings. I am not able to find the missing 3 GB. Someone please help me!
Ps - sorry for bad English.
Really I just filled 7 GB and 2gb free total 9 GB but why file manager just showing 11 GB of internal storage? And what the heck is settings showing?

Likely not a "bug". Device has 16GB of addressable (writeable) storage but not all of that is available for your use. Typically 10-11GB is set aside for user data including apps; rest is reserved for the rom and other system files, bootloader, kernel, modems, etc.

Likely reflects the total space used in the system + data partitions.
I've got an almost fresh and empty J3 (2016) with stock Android 5.1.1
One of my friends has been complaining about low internal memory warnings.
So I installed TWRP and got it rooted.
It shows the following:
System memory - 7,02 GB
Used space - 664 MB
Available space - 310 MB
And when I do a TWRP backup, it says - ok, system partition is approx 1.4 GB, data 800 MB. In total, full system backup is slightly more than 2 GB.
Where did the rest 6 GB of internal memory go?
Mind you, there is *no* pictures, no video, no apps, nothing.
Wiped cache/dalvik.
But 5 or 6 gigs are still missing. Whats wrong with this picture?
Maybe there's a hidden partition? Can you give me a hint how to visualize ALL internal memory, all available partitions? And possibly kill and resize the useless ones.
I'd greatly appreciate it!
