Nexus 5 32gb to 16gb after update. - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I recently rooted (4.4) then updated to to 4.4.1 and only after that i notice that my internal storage went from 27gb free to 12gb free. Before i updated to 4.4.1 i had a problem with my google now so i had to alter it which brought problems preventing me to update to 4.4.1 (velvet.apk error). I downloaded stock 4.4 from google servers and flash it then updated to 4.4.1 and root again. What could have cause this error?

Happened to this guy, he formatted data in recovery and fixed it. Here is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513101&highlight=32gb+to+16gb

[Q] Storage Problem Nexus 5

Hey Guys,
i've got a problem with my nexus appearing since i got the android lollipop update.
The problem is described very easy and i think i can imagine a way of solving it but i have no idea how to do it in practice: If i connect the Nexus to my PC, it appears but it tells me that there is in total 12 GB available but in fact i have
the 32 GB model. I think i have to re-partition it. How can i do that?
As you propably can understand, i would like to have as muich storage available as possible. Could it be that 4.4 KitKat stayed on the Nexus and is now on a second partition?
Thanks in advance

Try Factory Reset !

Lost Storage

After update to 4.4.2 i find that phone use 14.32/16.10 Gb but there is nothing installed

[Q] Storage ("System data" 7gb) [SOLVED]

Hello,
I bought a N5 today as my N4 broke. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed CWM, rooted, flashed stock Android 5.0.1 (as the phone was shipped with Android 4.4.2 or something).
Now all my apps are installed I recognized by looking into the app "DiskUsage" that "System data" accounts for 7gb. How is this possible? I only made one backup after all installations of the apps finished.
EDIT: Sorry, please ignore the following question as I already found threads about this issue
*****
Also, how can I check what my phone's storage really is? When I look into the settings (storage) it says that it's 16gb but I actually bought the phone with 32gb and I'm not sure how to see whether the sales person gave me the wrong phone?
Was it a mistake to install Android 5.0.1 onto the shipped version 4.4.2? Was I supposed to install Android 5.0 first and then 5.0.1? If I made this mistake, how can I solve this?

Thank you very much!

How did you flash 5.0.1 and did you do a factory reset after flashing it? Not doing a factory reset is the most likely reason you're showing the wrong amount of memory. Do a factory reset and it should show the correct memory. If it doesn't then maybe you did not get a 32 Gb device. And, yeah, it's a pita to do that now.

just switch phone in bootloader mode and you'll see your phone variant - 16 or 32 GB
thanks for your help guys!
I just re-did all the procedure (flash stock factory image, CWM and root) and now it seems to be all fine. Storage is up to 32gb and before finishing to install all my apps my free storage seems to be fine too.
Thanks again!

Nexus 5X lose storage 32Go to 16Go : help me please !!

Hello, first of all, im a new user and I do not know if I'm in the right place to post this message. I am also French so excuse my English.
Here is my problem: I recently installed CyanogenMod 13 on my Nexus 5X, I have too much hassle because of the error on 7 TWRP. By reinstalling the factory image from the Google site, I managed to install CyanogenMod (I had not booted my phone, I dirctement installed CyanogenMod). To my surprise the installation is installed, but when I turned on my phone, I realized that I had that I had only 10 GB of storage while I have the 32GB version Nexus 5X. I thought it was a bug in CyanogenMod, so I reinstalled the factory image of Nexus 5x. So I now stock the version of my phone with the latest updates, but I still have 10 GB of storage ... I do not know what to do !! if you have any solutions I'm interested.
I thank you in advance.
factory reset from settings
ok thanks you, it's good. Have you an idea for what i have this bug ?
then as your technique works on android stock, I said I would try on CyanogenMod but I still have the memory in less ... in fact it is the sdcard partition that is not created or evil, and therefore I have more than 10GB of storage and it annoys me a bit ...
