Hello,
I've recently bought a JXD S601 device.
It worked properly for a few days while I was adding some games and apps for it.
CPU HARDWARE: AMLOGIC MESON3 8726M SKT SH AML8726-M3 REF F 02 (specific board in use) CPU MODEL: ARM v7 (VFPv3, NEON) CPU FREQUENCY 300.0 ~ 600.0 MHz Display: 480-272px GPU ARM Mali-400 MP 1GB NAND 397.5 MB RAM, ~220 MB Available 2GB internal Android 2.3.4 build: MID_PSP.wifi.20120105 kernel: 2.6.34
That is what benchmark showed while it was working. Both "1GB" of a faster internal NAND, and some 2 GB of additional internal memory. When the device is plugged into the USB, I used to be able to access the device memory + my micro SD card.
Now, once I start Android, I get a notice "Internal storage safe to remove. Internal storage safely stopped.". If I try to start File Manager, for example, it only shows "SD Card" which is my Micro SD card. If I take out the micro sd, it only shows "SD Card" but the folder is completely empty.
When it was working normally it showed:
Internal Memory
SD Card
As folder structure. Now the first is missing.
If I go to android settings > storage >
It shows the SD card properly if I put one in.
It shows "Internal NAND flash"
Total space
Unavailable
Available space
Unavailable
Erase internal NAND flash (tried this, it did not make any changes at all, probably because the NAND flash is unmounted and there's no option to mount it back).
Internal storage
Available space
374
This internal storage is not accessible except with ADB software. But I tried this tutorial: (can't post links so please Google "Missing internal flash memory and SD card does not mount" and check the first result on android.stackexchange site) and it did not solve the problem.
"mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/block/vold/31:8/"
I don't have 31:8 but some 200:32 and etc, I tried to use the command for any (all) of the 4, but all returned an error in ADB: "This is not a folder".
The manufacturer, JXD, has given an update.
This would be useful, after flashing the system I could again have access to the normal function, as whatever the error is, 99% the error is in system, possibly corrupted after some program (I'm new to the Android systems, not sure).
I downloaded the update from the JXD site > Download section (filename S601 0229en.rar)
But it is missing some files. All I have is the 2 docx documents, update.zip and uImage_recovery. The tutorial (upgrade method docx document) shows clearly that I need to have factory update aml, uboot aml, and uImage files as well. I don't have them in my update so I can't follow the instructions and put them on SD Card.
I tried to follow the instruction anyways, but it says that those files are missing and cannot proceed.
I've contacted the manufacturer by E-mail and asked them to send me those files, but I'm not sure if I will ever get a reply.
So now if I plugin the device to the computer without SD card, there are 2 drives, but I can't access any of them. With SD card, the first drive is my SD card and I can only access it, but not the internal storage.
Any helpful answers would be utmost appreciated. Thanks for reading the thread.
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.

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

I recently bought a new cell phone from a company called nuGen Kailash and the model is N-And1.
The company makes and sells cheap android devices in India. The android version is 2.3.6 with MTK6573 with 256 MB internal memory and 512 MB RAM and a 1 GHz processor. It comes with some generic shell on the stock android. Is there a way to root the device and use the external SD Card as internal memory or have a new partition the system would use to install the application while recognizing it as internal memory
Hey everyone,
I bought an offbrand tablet from eBay, model name Softwinner v11 or Aystar y3 (build number says its an Astar y3, so does build.prop , "About tablet" under settings says its a Softwinner v11), running a Quad Core Allwinner A33 CPU and KitKat 4.4.2, already rooted with Kingo Root.
When I bought it, I was told it came with 16 GB of storage. As I started it up, I imediately checked the storage to check if those 16 gb where really there. On the storage screen, under settings, it showed up as having 2 internal storage, one with about 0.98 GB of space and another one with 14 GB of space. Almost the 16 GB, but that wasnt the issue.
The tablet was writing app data to the 0.98 GB internal storage, leaving me almost imediately without storage space for apps. The other 14 GB of space remained completely untouched. After further inspection, I found that the other 14GB were being used as an internal sd card, mounted at /mnt/sdcard.
Now here comes the real issue. I was messing around with it, and remenbered that I could partition my SD Card to work as internal memory. I had done this sucessfully before in my phone, so I gave it a go on the tablet, completely forgetting the fact that I had no MicroSD card on the tablet, only internal memory.
Stupid as I was, I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236566http://
After doing step 1, I realized my mistake. Storage was completely broken. In MiniTool, it was now split between 2 discs, one with a ~10Gb partition called "POLARIS", in fat32, and another with a 2GB partition, which is unallocated.
Now, under Settings - storage, I still have 2 internal storages, except the second storage is now only 428mb and completely inacessible from Windows. DiskInfo only shows System, Data, Cache and RAM, but no internal memory or SD Card.
ES File Manager shows 2 storages, one called "sdcard", with 428.06MB of space and another called "93_81" with 10.38GB of space.
In Windows, via MTP mode, the tablet shows up as v11. If I open it, there is an "Internal Storage", with 426 mb of space. Inside that is a folder called ".android_secure" and another called "93_81". Via USB Mass Storage nothing shows up.
Attempting to copy files over 428 mb to the root or to "93_81" results in a "file is too big" error.
Is there any way to fix this issue? If not, can I return it to how it was, with 1 GB + 14 GB of storage?
