[Solved]: Disk size is only showing 9.9GB - HTC One S

When I have my phone plugged into the PC, I noticed that is showing up as only having 9.9GB of total space. Is my on board SD card corrupted or something?

You can only use about that much for storage. It's normal. Please change the prefix of this thread to [solved]

No....the other partition of your memory Is for the phones software files, Rom, and some other things. It's not true 16 gigs....all phones are like that even the iPhone. Any phone that has built in memory for storage is like this

It's about right. A part of it is allotted to system storage (ROM)
If you have Titanium backup it will show you how it's broken down.
If not use "Quick System Info" I don't have the HOS with me or I would tell yo exactly how it's broken down.
Off my head about 1.8 is for system (ROM) maybe 1.5 or so for internal storage
a little over 10 for sdcard.

Once we get s off well be able to partition and get abit more space

As others said you don't get to use that full 16GB. There really should be a marketing law so they can stop this sorta confusion. Kinda ripping us of here.

that is...IF we get s-off. Currently there is no real effort for the one s unlike the one x or one v....

Here's a screenshot, the bottom show how the internal is partitioned.

Hellow,everyone.How much free space can you use to install apps?

The Sensation's ROM is only 1G,and the system partition may eat more than 600M,may be 799M,so is there only less than 300M we can use?That' really bad..I usually install apps more than 600M..I do not want to install apps in sd card, that's terrible!
And may be the 1G is the data partition we can use?
So anyone who is using sensation,Could you tell me how much free space you can use?This is really important for me to choose to buy or not...Thanks
I have 805mb of RAM free and haven't seen it below 700 since I got it.

I guess you meant ROM and not RAM
another question (maybe mentioned somewhere else before, therefore sorry if that is the case): is there a way to get more space of the internal storage? as far as I know the Desire HD also has 4GB of ROM and 1GB user accessible (or am I wrong?)..is there a hack to get more space?
The ROM is actually 4GB with 1GB for the end user.

That's to say,the 1G is the data partition. That's enough..It seems that my choice is right, I booked one yesterday

We must partition the NAND agian,and doing that will lose all the data..May be can not turn on agian..
Or developers have other method
DHD actually has 1.14G for user data, but we only can use 0.95G~1.05G...

Where did my space go?

Hay guys I have a problem. Out of 12 gigs around 4 gigs are under misc.
Any idea where those went?
I've checked my download folder and there is not 4 gig worth of stuff in there
I recently went to another build on aokp and before I restored my apps via titanium backup it was still high under misc.
Any idea how to find out what's taking up so much room?
Maybe an app that can find out for me?

Nandroid backups are pretty big... Use astro file manager or root file explorer than check the size of your /cyanogen folder

I deleted my nandroid from my internal and it deleted about 4 gigs of stuff...when you backup in CWM, make sure you backup to external sd card..
I would say it's system files the rom uses but it looks like that 4gb is already accounted for as your total space says 12gb vs 16gb like on a tw rom

Is it okay to delete the even the latest nandroid backup?

You can delete whatever you want but if your using cwm I would delete the back ups through recovery and not a file manager because someone says it doesn't get rid of all the blobs that way. Also I would keep at least one back up just in case.

Went into nandroid but only I when I went to the delete option there is said that there were no files to be deleted. Which is odd because eight before I did a factory reset, I deleted some of my other nandroid backups. So I deleted them via root explorer but still up to 3 gigs of misc. Is that normal?

[Q] storage problem

Hi guys!
I've searched the forum for answers but didn't find anything relevant
Today i noticed i'm low on storage on my One S , and started digging and found the following :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
does anyone know what could be all the "Other" 6.7 Gb on my device?
I've deleted almost all of my videos/music , but still cant get my storage back!
ohh , while writing this post , my "Other storage" just jumped up! wtf?
out of nowhere it turned to 7.5!
could it be some kind of trojan? virus? somthing?
any ideas?
Thats's really strange. I habe no idea what's to do. Maybe download a file manager and select sort data size down Ort something else maybe you can See big files i don't know.

Hey , I actually used your suggestion and searched for large files, and came across the notorious LOST.DIR
it contained a couple of large files , each one is ~2.3 Gb , named 1406 and the second one i forgot..
I read about the LOST.DIR and figured out its OK to delete it, and so i did (hopefully i wont regret it...)
And so my problem is fixed for the time being, the "Other" in the storage section dropped back to 1.8 Gb, which i can live with...
but i still don't understand why the LOST.DIR started to fill up out of the blue....
anyways, thanks GollSv!

[Q] How to Resize Internal Partitions?

Hi,
Lastly i've installed a lot of apps and the space left on /data is almost gone (just 130mb) and Google Play don't want me to install any apps that overcome 30mb..
I found it curious that with 130mb space left i couldn't install apps, but what makes me really curious is the fact that /system and other useless partition, which i believe they're on the NAND (internal memory) are almost completly free, which means i'm wasting space for nothing..
A screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see, there's so much space wasted..
How can i resize internal partition so i can assign those 300-400mb of wasted space to /data?
No one?
I not expert but I ve understand that the partition size are decide by rom during installation process and can not resized.

I believe the partition sizes are hardcoded and would require S-OFF & knowledge on how resize the partitions.

Thanks for the answer.. But, how come no one here has ever tried to resize partitions? I mean, look at how much free wasted space there are D:
Also, hardcoded where? Bootloader?
Only one genius is able to resize internal partitions due to the myriad of partitions on the sensation. You'll have to ask this guy: http://thalamus-hacking.blogspot.co.uk/
Edit: Turns out he retired from Devving due to trolls and kangers judging from his blog so we can't really do much.

I think my partition swapped, Can anyone help.

M getting only 1 GB for app install and 1.6 GB as internal space, M attaching the screen shots, Can anybody confirm please..
And if my partition are swapped, Can anyone help me to make them correctly.
