Hi,
I'm currently running CM 6.0.2 (Clockwork rec) and got S-off (Alpha-rev) on my HTC desire (amoled).
I noticed my internal memory has 14 Mb left eventhough I've got most apps on SD.
Is there any way I can free up space? Are there maybe things stored in internal memory that are not of any use? (N00B)
hi guys,
i bought this new one phone and i am very disappointed about a strange issue here :
my phone is supposed to have 8GB INTERNAL STORAGE and 768 MB RAM but mine has (from system info) 4 GB INTERNAL STORAGE and 498 MB RAM, also on the box is written 8GB.
The firmware is up to date with Gingerbread 2.3.6 (probably updated from the seller) and i can't find anything about this issue on the net or about a new limited S advance like this.
I wrote also to samsumg and the seller but no response until now.
Also Samsung Kies detect internal storage as 4 GB .
Is it possible ?? Any advice ??
Thank you so much.

Thanks for the response,
so you mean that a part of ram is system reserved (and this is reasonable) but if the system take also 50 % of the declared storage seems to be very strange.
Considering that i have 4 GB and 2 GB ROM where is the rest ?
I would like to hear another S advance owner.
So i have in real life 7,8 GB - 1.95 GB ROM is 5.9 GB remaining storage but i have only 3.9 GB effective mass storage, i can't find the other two.
Thanks again for your time.
Bye

Ok, let's say that i figured it out as follows :
USB mass storage 4 GB - 3.91 GB real
ROM memory 2 GB - 1.95 GB real
SYSTEM/USER storage 2 GB - 1.95 GB real
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL 8 GB - 7.81 GB real
so 8000 MB / 1024 = 7.81 GB
it is like buying a car with 8 seats but 2 can't be accessed due to engine space, 2 seats are only for the owner and his wife and the remaining seats are for the rest of the family. :laugh:
The producers make always things more complex.
Thank you.

As above:
for a galaxy s advance of 8gb
USB mass storage 4 GB - 3.91 GB real
ROM memory 2 GB - 1.95 GB real
SYSTEM/USER storage 2 GB - 1.95 GB real
TOTAL 8 GB - 7.81 GB real
because 8000 MB / 1024 = 7.81 GB
-----------------------------------------------------------------
for a galaxy s advance of 16gb i figured it out as follow
USB mass storage 12 GB/1048 - 11.45 Gb real (here it might shows 11.5 Gb)
ROM memory 2 GB - 1.90 GB real
SYSTEM/USER storage 2 GB - 1.90 GB real
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL 16 GB - 15.26 GB real
Notice that i divided the first galaxy with 1024 bit and the second with 1048 bit, the reason is that each producer use a different method of calculation with a considerable difference from storage to storage.
Also consider that the GingerBread system has its internal memory divided as system/user partition and a usb mass storage partition.
I know that if you try a ICSandwich system this method is no longer used so you will have only one partition instead of two

please go to Settings - Applications - Manage applications and tell me how much memory is displayed under every tab (Downloads/All/SdStorage/active) and after this go to Info and tell me what is there (Storage Memory / System Memory).
RAM?
I have the same problem.
What about RAM? Where is the rest of it? I have only 515 RAM? See the attached picture.
And these two are the same thing.
ROM memory 2 GB - 1.95 GB real
SYSTEM/USER storage 2 GB - 1.95 GB real
Everything is ok

Ok ! the RAM is only 512 Mb because the rest is taken as shared memory for the system like processor and/or graphic or system cache.
In the attached pictures notice that the TAB "On SD card" means the internal storage of the phone and not the external storage card.
For the external storage card you must consider the other menu under settings->memory at "Storage" and also there is displayed the "USB Storage" that is the same data of "On SD card".
The misleading here is that they refer to the same data with two different names "On SD card" and "USB storage", i dont't know why but that's it.
Pratically you have to sum :
ROM memory 2 GB - 1.95 GB real (the ROM space is not displayed anywhere in the settings)
SYSTEM/USER storage 2 GB - 1.95 GB real (system storage)
USB mass storage 4 GB - 3.91 GB real (USB storage or On SD card) thi may change on the 16 GB version
After all of this there is the real EXternal SD card if you buy one.
Bye.

It's more like the car ad says "seats 3 in the rear". Your family members each weigh 600 pounds, and only 2 of them can fit in the back seat.
Drive and manufacturers specify drives in gB (g = 1 billion) because the number is larger. The rest of the industry uses GB (G = 1024 * 1024 * 1024) because computers use powers of 2. Some memory manufacturers use something in between, a unit that's the number of bytes divided by 1024.
The actual number of bytes available is the same, they just manipulate the units to make the number larger. (It's like telling you I'm giving you 1,000 "Currency Units" instead of 10 "currency units" - where "Currency Unit" = penny and "currency unit" = dollar. It's the same amount of money in either case.)
BTW, it's 8/(1.024 * 1.024 * 1.024) to go from 8gB to 7.45GB.

Please tell me how the memory is divided in your phone (16GB)
Internal memory = ?
USB memory = ?
I need to install the following app on a Galaxy S advance - 16GB.
Wiki encyclopedia - Offline (needs 3.6 GB) internal memory to install.
will it get downloaded (3.6gb) to internal memory ?
plss help...
Look fella!
When my s advance was gingerbread(2.3.6) it showed me 450 to 500 somethin' mb ram but after updating it to jellybean(4.1.2) I got 670 mb ram...... There is nothing like limited s advance.
Regarding the storage space...
I have a 16 gb s advance and it shows 11.5 gb of storage space..rest is its 1.97 gb rom and remaining is used up by touchwiz(samsung's launcher)
and the system...Therefore the 8 gb model of s advance will show to around 4 gb of internal memory..
I am happy with my phone and i am currently using cyanogenmod 10.1 which makes it BEAST!!!!!!

Hello Everybody
So now....
Who in here's CURRENT PHONE has the lowest internal storage ever?
Lets start, My internal storage is 190MB
OptimusLove, I love how you always have worst phone contests.
Mytouch Q is screwed up so I've rolled back to my flipside which has 12mb of internal storage after I update all system apps. About 70 mb if I uninstall updates and clear cache. It actually has 512 mb but its partitioned so stupidly (thanks MOTO). On CM 7 it actually ends up with 110 mb and I can use link2sd, but you get the idea...
As soon as I fix my mytouch q ill be up at about 1GB of storage, total 2GB but partitioned so user data is approx. 1GB. Exact is 950mb
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium
in vodafone ideos (u8150) the internal memory is 256mb but the free (for porting of cm10) with facebook app and whatsapp is 56mb
with link2sd it's possibile move the app dawlink on the sd but not of the system app. with this procedure the free memory is 60mb

I am using Micromax A77. I had got 1.27 GB internal memory for app and 672 MB as phone memory. I have already swapped my phone memory to extSD Card and moved all the movable apps to extSD ( phone memory) but still my internal memory is full now.
I saw mainly Google Apps and 2-3 apps are taking all the internal memory and sadly I can't move them to phone memory. Like Xposed Installer is taking approx 250 MB and I have cppdroid which takes 180 MB and I don't know where the other memory went.
I have 50 Mb of internal memory left and I badly need some more. Please guyz help me.
