Ok those with 32Gb version device! How much actual internal storage do you get? I am only having 26Gb :crying: and i heard most of the devices have 28Gb so where did my 2Gb go? Any idea? Is there any way to get it back or am i F****ed with a device with 2Gb less the all other 32Gb version phones?
Hi,
No issue with your phone, 26 Gb available, same thing for every 32 Gb version (as far as I know)...
Where did you see 28 Gb available for most???
And seriously use the search function...

Donno forums stated that sometimes rooting and changing the device stock OS can get you more storage space.
But i feel skeptical. So 26Gb is good? No matter how you root or change your device ROM?(does any kernel support re-sized partitions-will resizing partitions gain extra space)
(will post the link of the fourm within a few mins)

i think the reasion is that the jb os needs more system space.
so the update reserves more storage for the system, so you have less storage for other things.
Ok is there any method to expand my one S storage???

At the time that the specs came out there was no 64GB cards available only the 32, in theory it should take any card size formatted in fat32

Simple the phone needs 500MB to run the OS. The other 1.5GB is for all of your apps.

It is still stupid they did not pool all 2gig together so the system could go over.

So it is normal for an S3 to report 1580mb of RAM on 4.4.2? Even electricsheeps Android System Info says there is 1580mb of RAM. Also only shows 12.9gb of storage.

yes, it's been like that (for ram and internal storage) since ICS.

Sorry this is probably a stupid question, but it's bugging me. I never really paid attention to it because I've always had an ext sd. I have an lg g2 with 32 gb of storage. I know the os takes up around 8 gb, but when I flash a new rom it still shows available storage as 24 gb. Can I ever get that 8 gb back, or is it forever locked up in the stock os?

The 8gb is reserved for system. No way to unlock it.

I own a Lenovo S920. It has 4 GB of total internal memory. 2 GB as phone memory and 2 GB as the built in memory. But for some reason the internal phone memory is more occupied than it should be. I have attached the picture. What happened to the marked space?

so your saying that it used to have 4gigs of internal memory? or it says that it has 4 gigs of internal memory? my bad if im not asking the right question.
I was victim of same problem but not now here I how you what to do
First root your device then download titanium backup. Launch it and select app you use most and swipe to special features and select on convert to system app now your apps will be stored in system rom
Do It with multiple apps
And at last click on thanks of it helped
Pm me if you want to know in detail

It's just that I don't know what's occupying most of the 2 GB memory. It's definitely not the apps.

But what is it that's actually occupying the space? Is there no way to do it without rooting? I had some problems with my last phone after rooting it. It was an HTC explorer.
And I used an app to view the actual internal memory. It says the total internal phone memory is 1008 mb. Where's the rest of the 1 GB??

i think this is the best way to answer your question, There has to be a place for the operating system to go, some phones have two internal storages which one is X amount of gigs to store the Operating system and System apps, while the other is free user space, so pretty much if yours comes with 4gigs of internal storage, its dummed down to around 3gb - 3.4gb and around 1-2gb of the operating system (this includes system apps and bloatware) thats what is taking up your space, thats why most people flash roms because you get tons more storage since nobody wants the bloatware.

But isn't that a little too much space for operating system?
So what am I supposed to do now? Root it and remove bloatware? Don't want to install a new ROM. I like the stock ROM.

It'd just the way OEMs operating system is, removing the bloat might not give you much space but its worth a shot. Custom Roms should give you a little more space. They should take up around 500mb if I recall correctly. I could be wrong but they are ment to give you more space.
