Hi guys,
Actually I don't know if the phone really have 16 GB Storage but here is the thing:
Internal SD Card:
Total Storage: 1.52 GB Usable: 1.47 GB
Internal Phone Storage:
Usable : 1.81
No MicroSD installed.
So, does this phone actually lack a 16 GB sotrage? Or the phone just 2 GB of storage?
Or maybe it had 16 GB storage but I have flashed it wrong (Which I don't think so). FYI: This is how I flashed it.
And since it is a test sample, how can I learn if it really has 16 GB storage or not.
Sorry if I sound n00b. First time messing with Galaxy series...
Thanks.
it has only 4gb internal memory
OK. So, I have done nothing wrong..
Thank you very much.
Where did you buy it ?

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,
First of all, i had a problem with charging my goophone i5.
Seems it was the cable that doesent was good.
Now when i am browsing on the phone, it says only microsd 80MB? and it must be a 16gb, or are there 2 storages?
1 for the OS, and the other for the data-storage??

goophone or any android phone has 2 memorys...the internal rom memory and the sd card memory.....ofcourse if you have for example a 1gb internal memory your not gonna have 1gb available for usage since your operating system is using some of that memory....then the goophone i5 itself has an internally a normal micro sd card that you can change if you want...ofcourse you have to open the phone for that ...but just youtube it and youll find tutorials on how to open and change memory card on the goophone ..... i wouldnt trust the "about the phone" tab in settings....mine sayes that it has 128gb when i have a 32 gb sd card changes from rom to rom...atleast on the modded ones
Hi guys,
Something strange happening (I guess)
On my 16 gb note 10.1 (n8010) I've got 11.66 gb of internal memory.
But only 7.26 is free.
What happens with the rest?
Or is this normal to have 4.4 gb internal storage used?
I've formatted my internal memory but nothing changed.
I understand that I am missing the 16 gb to 11.66 gb part. But why am I missing the rest?
So from 16 gb only 7.26 can be used used for storage.
I installed omega latest Jellybean ROM.
