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.

Galaxy s Adv - 16GB - internal memory

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!!!!!!
Help needed
bro i am facing the same problem as u faced,i also rooted and also upgraded the firmware using odin but it is showing now my internal memory as 3.9 gb instead of 11.5 gb .so if u had fixed the problem for ur device plzzz help me for fixing it for mine plzzzzz

good morning,
I have a problem I bought a motorola me865 and has an 8GB storage but I only show available 3.5 GB, I can do to recover the lost space.

There is only like 5 gb user accessible storage out of the 8gb . Probably the apps have used the rest in your case. ( or some big hd videos)
You could get an SD card to expand the storage.
And btw, questions belong in q&a
i think u can't use any of internal storage
here is what i know how the partition is
4 GB (for apps) + 1 GB (webtop) + 3 GB (system) = 8 GB
i'm not sure about system partition
and this is for ATT ICS ..... recent JB might allow to use internal storage

The camera can store stuff on the internal memory. It is accessible. ( just don't put the SD card at all. It will be forced to use the internal memory alone) JB leak had around 6gb free on the internal memory I believe. Webtop is the culprit!

Fxz the hktw version and you can use the internal memory as an internal sdcard.. Moto officially changed the boot image to emulate an internal sdcard on /data/media. And on the jb leak that Wang posted, they have more or less removed the webtop partition.. Webtop partition is just 128kb in this. 6GB is data. In short, apps and internal Sd share that 6GB.

USB storage is for your personal files such as photos, videos, music, etc.
Meanwhile the 2 GB system storage is for your apps, including data and cache.
You could "move to SD card" in Settings > Applications to free up some space, but that will make your apps slightly slower (to load).
I don't know about repartitioning but that could be a possibility too.
I need to repartition my galaxy note GT n7000 to extend the internal available memory from 2Gb to 4/6Gb. Currently i am running CM10 version on my phone. I installed CM10 using CWM.
Can some one suggest the process, I searched a lot and got some info, but was not clear how to apply it for my note.
regards
nithin
What do you exactly mean? How can you extend 2GB fixed storage to 4/6 GB?

my galaxy note gt n7000 has internal storage of 16 Gb out of which only 2 Gb is allocated for installing applications, remaining is for data storage. I ran out of space while installing applications.
so I would like to repartition the internal storage so that 4/6Gb could be allotted for installing Apps.
