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 !

Hello,
I bought a Nexus 5 32GB not long ago. As of 1/14/2015, I'm still on Android KitKat, not getting the update. Tried checking manually. Any help?
Well theres no way of forcing the ota update to work. It happens when it happens. If you wish you can manually update by flashing the factory images via fastboot.
there's a helpful thread you can look at to show you how to do it here
Good luck
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!
Lol well this is embarassing it seems she has a tmobilw phone not a sprint xD sorry hey sorry if this has been posted before but im semi crunched on time and just wanted to get this out there so i could come back to an answer later i have a verizon s5 and im semi exprienced in flashing but my girlfriends s5 is sprint and i was wondering if its possible to root the newest version and are your bootloaders locked or unlocked? because ever since shes taken the new update her phones been running extremely laggy for some reason and i checked some stuff she has alot of space both on sd card and internal storage and ive cleared her cache multiple times (works for a little bit) both through the settings and the recovery boot and she says she factory reset it and the issue is still there so does anyone have any way to fix it or can i root it and downgrade it to an earlier firmware a thanks in advance and would that fix it do you think? thanks in advance
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 ...

Hi all,
I wanted to try out Ubuntu Touch by UBPorts so I went ahead and installed it. After a while, when I wanted to switch back to Android I tried to flash the stock image from the official website, anything newer than 5.0, (6.0.1 was the first one I tried) got stuck on a bootloop. 4.4.4 seemed to be working but my device started nagging about low free space, as I only had 128 mb of total storage. I looked it up and it said somewhere that the hardware is basically fried and my phone is done for. After this point there was nothing I could lose so I reinstalled Ubuntu Touch, but then it started working normally and I now have 11.5GB of free storage? Does this mean that my device isn't fried? Is there a way I can go back to Android?
UPDATE: I flashed TWRP with fastboot and installed the ROM of my choice from there. Everything works like a charm now. Kudos to Aron from the Telegram group!
