anyone?

I was looking on the storage tab and I saw 4gb space taken by .. something.. I am curios , what could take so much space ? I have a database server running centos that takes less. Anyway , I havent rooted my phone yet and I am curious . Anyone could tell me what is there eating so much space ? Also with custom rom can you free more space from that ? I come from Desire S, there the stock 4.0.4 rom was using 5-600mb .
That "Other" is probably a load of cache and data that has built up over time and that you've never bothered to delete. At least 1GB of that will be Facebook if you are a heavy user.

The phone is 5 days old. And no I don't use facebook , those 4gb in other remain there even after factory reset. That is why I am asking.

You can try clicking the make more space button and clearing some apps' cache.

4.50 / 6.07 is just not true. You do not have 6G of app storage. You have about 2.50G.
So it's possible that you have about 1G used, and therefor about 1.50G free. (If they calculate used space from free space plus an assumption of total space..)
The layout is:
10G - sdcard
2.5G - data
1.7G - system
0.25G - cache
rest - sbl, hboot, boot, recovery, radio, wifi, modem, splash, ...
Touch of jobo what you say makes sense , but I just dont understand what can be in /data to eat 2.5gb or in system to eat 1.7gb

Those 2.5GB and 1.7GB for data and system respectively are the partition sizes. It doesn't necessarily mean they are full. (In fact, they are not.) It means we could technically flash ROMs that have up to 1.7G of /system. (Currently, ROMs take only up to about 700M tho.)
I believe that you have about 1GB of apps and app data on your /data partition, so about 1.5GB of /data free.

You should download a file manager and have it inspect your SD card to see what's on it and in your internal memory(Not sure if Stock Sense had something like this) I used ES File Manager and it gives you a pretty layout showing what's using what
Thanks IntelligentAj very good ideea . Look at the 2 screenshots taken with sdmaid . The partitions look different and some space is not there
later edit.
Actualy I took it to calculator .It adds up to 5273 mb , is close enough I guess. Should help if anyone else has questions on stock JB partitions .

I would strongly recommend rooting your phone though and installing a custom ROM. Stock Sense is exponentially slower than pretty much all custom ROM's
I will root it no doubt about it . I have a desire s and lenovo tablet all rooted . But with this one is more complicated .. I have to keep it untouched for some time. And I was curious about the space .
Oh I was worried when I first rooted my phone but they have all in one tools or you can do the actual adb stuff, which isn't hard at all as long as you follow directions

I installed CM11 on System4 in BMM (because on System3 I have a JB ROM) but everytime I try to boot on System4 it just stays at a black screen. System1 is JB leak 3.
What am I doing wrong?

Clean install with 1GB data partition, 300 or 500MB system partition (forgot), 300 MB cache partition. I wiped everything on that system before flashing. Could it be that the system partition is too small? It worked for every JB ROM like this. I'll try with a bigger one once I have some time.
Make the system partition 500mb, and try again. If it doesn't work, try downloading the rom again, maybe u got a corrupt download.

Ya increase the system as well as data to 800 thats what i use it will work then..............
Yep, the system image space was the problem. It needs 500MB for KitKat. I always tought that it would give some kind of error while flashing if there's not enough space. Apparently not. Thanks guys.
Hi,
I'm having issues while updating or installing apps saying I don't have enough storage. I've looked into settings, storage, and it looks like I have more than 600 mb, but I believe this is an aggregation between the "SD storage" and the system partition storage.
I've tried to use disk usage but it gives the attached error, so it's a no go for me. Using an alternative app, it seems that I have about 150 mb free on system, but I really don't have much apps installed.
I've already wiped cache (using Cwm) and cleared cache/data on play services.
Any idea of what might be using so much space on system?

Try flashing the factory images to re create the partitions and use maybe a smaller gapps package

Thanks, this is becaming annoying now. I eventually removed from /system a lot of gapps (which I then installed from the play store, being installed on /data), but even with more than 250 mb free on the /system 1 gb partition (is this is the correct size?) I'm constantly having that error, when installing or updating apps.
My solution is always to clear cache before doing this

Hello, I have this phone (8gb) since August and never noticed how much storage I have until now because it started notifying me storage was full. Well, it says total space is 4,53gb and without /system 3,60. So my question is, where is the 4gb of storage that I don't see? I was hoping it was occupied by /system but it is not. We're talking about a half of the storage and it's unbelievable that I cannot use at least 5 of the 8 I've payed for.
Any help would be very appreciated!
4.53 gb is your /data partition(user apps and data are stored here), other space is used in /system partition where all system files are located.
Is there a way to resize the partitions?

it was possible to resize partitions in many phones and there are also apps available on playstore for it. but you should reset it to default before flashing any rom. :/
And do you think reducing /system may be a problem?

when I was using stock, my system partition was filled by 1.5gb from 2.19gb. there is still some space there but you shouldn't reduce it because it will get filled over time with app updates. and there will be problem with ota updates if you resize it.
I have Syberia ROM flashed and see android system taking 14 GB. It seems excessive to me. Is that normal?

OOS uses about 12. So don't see what issue 2gb extra is for a custom ROM. Never used it myself so can't say if #wurf

Interesting that OOS takes that much space. Since I'm not using oos, anyway to shrink that partition?

??:silly:
Edit: I plead the 5th
No you can't change partitions, there space used is the rom expanded and internal data partition for the apps, the whole storage is used for System A and B partition, internal data and external sdcard data. Basically you don't ever get to use the whole 64-128GB of storage.
AICP is taking about 13GB so I don't think 14GB is won't. It might.
