I have a cheap android phone Landvo V11 which has been fine till recently. It has a 16gb internal memory and also an sd card which I use for everthing like vids and downloads. Just recently my phone has been getting so slow and the internal memory is saying its almost full bar a few mb. When I browse the phone on my linux PC all the folders in the phone memory only add up to 233mb but still when I check the properties of the whole thing its saying its full. I even had to delete some apps to update others. I'm guessing its some sort of malware but I just cant see whats taking up the space. Can anyone shed any light on this or tell me a way to see the hidden space that I'm missing. thanks
Android considers any space less than 1GB as full or nearly full storage.

Are you using a file manager app that has a recycle bin? If so, maybe the recycle bin is full.
Use an app that has a cleaner function to wipe unneeded data. Use an app that has a file scanner, it should list everything, where it is stored and how big the files are.

Ive tried using standard file browser, ES file explorer and also tried connecting to my linux machine. Can you give me the names of the apps with file scanner cos I dont know what to get. Also is there maybe a decent app that I could use on my linux machine that may do the trick. There should be over 10gb of space free. Whatever is happening, its using a hell of a lot of space but hiding its self well.
1.Try installing rar app.its best file manager after that see files with (.)dot
And delete them (you can find them inside the folders too
2.try to enter in recovery mode by using key combination method and wipe cache and reboot may solve ur problem
3.if this also dsnt wrk backup ur important data in a pc and after that FACTORY RESET the phn.problem gone
And dont forget to press thanx

After looking up the device it seems some have found that it doesn't have the storage it is advertised to have. Like a knock off flash drive that fakes its storage amount.

He was saying that the device doesn't actually have the amount of internal storage as the manufacturer claims it has.
In other words, the manufacturer "claims" the device has 16GB internal storage, but the device actually has considerably less than that.

Hello All!
Just got HTC One S in the mail today, I was aware of the limited storage of the phone by reading the forums here, users said I should have around 10GB of "user" storage. Quite far from the advertised 16 haha!
I understand the ~2GB is dedicated to apps etc.
My question is:
Has anyone figured out how to repartition the storage in order to decrease app storage, and increase user storage? (maybe by a different rom etc?)
I personally wouldn't mind having 1GB of app space just to fit a few more albums of music (I love music on my phone)
I'm thinking even if I used nobloat to remove the t-mobile preloaded stuff, I would only increase the application storage (which does nothing for but increase just the application storage space?)
Somebody give me some help here
Anybody??
Removing the bloat will only free up space on your system partition, not /data where your downloaded apps are stored. I'm not sure if anyone has repartitioned the One S yet, though.

Your HTC Hero prolly had S-OFF or a similar removal of protections in place. As of now, without S-OFF we cannot repartition, becaue we cannot write to locked areas of the NAND / NVRAM (whatever it is exactly...) and therefore we can't resize partitions.
Nope, no S-off
Question
the question is another: can we physically change the sd-card hosted inside the phone with another one of a bigger capacity? (32 / 64 gb like in the HTC Mozart)

Run some read/write speed tests, you'd be pretty lucky to get an SD card that could put up the numbers this phone does. It's a very tiny chance it's an SD card, but I refuse to give up hope until it's proven.

me too, as I am getting up to 18mb read and I backup a lot, so it is welcome
I am converted to no sd card phones, as the memory here is fine for me--got dropbox/google drive etc if needed
If you have decent coverage in your area you can try google play. And I'm pretty sure you can download the music directly to your phone from it, if the area you'll be in is spotty.

Do you... He said he read the fourms and was aware of the 10gb user space.
I think he's asking if that can be changed.
And to answer that, without S-Off I don't think so.
Sent from my rooted and debloated T Mobile HTC One S
You definitely won't without s-off. Or, more likely an exploit like Blackrose which was developed for the N1. Where it simulates s-off to resize partitions. But, is not true s-off as related to the secure flag. I don't know if it is easy for dev to look at Blackrose in N1 sub-forum and carry that over to One S--
So were talking about this:
4 GB's for the OS, 1 GB for the system apps (after potential resize). Gaining only 1 GB for the User. Increasing the User avalible space to 11GB's.
That seems like a lot of work for only 1GB. Unless someone could trim the OS down by half. 13GB usable....hmmm!

hey ive searched but couldnt find a solution....my question is that whether i can play music from internal storage as 4 gb is too much for apps....how can i do that...im on ota ics
Short answer? No. The internal memory is reserved only for the system partition. Even if you could throw some mp3's into a folder in the system side. There's not a music player out there that would look for the files in the system partition. So, no man. You're outta luck.

This is some what useless way to say if there is no other option..... The only real way would be to use something like root explorer..... From there you could move a folder of music from sd to /folder name..... Then from root explorer you could use the music files one at a time .... Best bet go to rat shack and get a 32 gb sd for like $20.....

Well, actually you don't want to stick in /system or /anythingelse, you will bootloop.... If you copy anything to internal storage, it is best to "attempt" put it in /data/music or something, but that is still not a good way to do it. Now this is all just in theory mind you, as it is known that putting things that were not meant to go in certain places on this phone has caused way more heartache than it should and caused more bootloops than I care to elaborate on now.

+1 :good: Yea I have had more than my fair share or bootloops from just looking at my / wrong LOL.....
all of my internal memory is going waste..i hardly use any apps....all i do is music and vids.....i had 16 gb card but it had problems with my ph.....my battery wasnt lasting long enough.... so internal memory problem is the same with other phones also ....i wonder how ppl use nexus phones?
Some phones have user accessible internal storage and in those phones it's done in a way that the user wont be able to modify critical system files. The Atrix 2 is not one of those phones so if you make a mistake you will get a bootloop like hankbizzo5 said. How did you determine that the SD card was reducing your battery life?
Just make sure you get a class 4 card and you'll be fine.
my battery was draining very fast...so i used battery monitor widget...i showed me 200-300 mA discharge even when screen off....so i formatted....same peroblem....i changed the sd from 16 gb sandisk class 4 to 2 gb ....nw everything is fine
so nothing could be done? i mean galaxy note....s3 all have large internal....cant we do anything abt it?....i mean atrix 2 is one of the best dual cores around...i thought this would be solved with ics...some say moto media centre transfers music to internal but i doubt

Yeah, I got an idea.... go find Jims sig and click on his dropbox link, sign up, and you will have 2.5gbs free online storage and you can even put your files in a public folder to play them from anywhere. Its not 4gb but it could be if you then get other people to sign up.
FWIW, I used a 32gb class 10 from time to time and never really noticed a battery problem. That's interesting.

No nothing can be done as far as actually utilizing the internal storage for your personal use. Yes, I'm not surprised your note can do it, add I have access to my internal storage on my skyrocket. But you just can't do it with the A2.

Hello,
I have a question about HTC Inspire 4G. I accidently stripped the gold pins on the sdcard module, so when you insert an sdcard inside of the sdcard module (slot), and then activate the camera, the camera activates, and a popup message says "Please insert an sdcard". Well, obviously it will say that, because I messed up the pins inside the module. I can get a replacement for 10.00 usd on ebay for it. But, thats not my question, I would like to see if I can root the phone, and have the pictures be saved to the internal memory instead of the sdcard.. Does anyone think this will work? If I root the phone, will the camera give me an option to save a picture anywhere else other then that darn sdcard slot? I appreciate it who ever is willing to help

I can only speak for the ROM I'm currently using, codefireX. I just looked at Camera and Gallery settings, and I don't see an option to choose where to save pictures.
Well, before you root the phone you will need to repair the sd card module. Which will then have solved your issue regarding the cam.

I guess it could be theorerically possible by modyfing the script (heck if I know how to), but since the phone has limited memory I don't see much fotos being stored.
If it is possible then one could add a script for it to use 'x' amount of memory (to limit the amount used) and an option which asks where you want to save it. Which would get tedious after a while being asked constantly where to save the pic - or it could ask once per session. As well you could set it to default and somewhere in settings to change the default.

I read some where, where a developer said that some android apps come equiped with internal/sd card options to picture saving picture. One of the apps the developer said that would work is a free app called Camera ICS. Idk, I am in the process of downloading it. I shall let you all know if this could be an option.
Update: Did not work for the camera app
Apparently I'm using just 13gb. The total is 55gb and my available is 26.6gb.
55-13=26.6gb?
It works out that I've actually got nearer 40gb which is quite a bit below 55gb, let alone the 64gb stated (OK 9gb for OS etc, still 9gb is loads for just CM11 nightly IMO).
Normal.
Doesn't appear correct. Did you factory reset and wipe data before flash cm11? I don't own an Opo yet, but make sure you follow the instructions about how to change the rom.

When you wipe, everything from your prior rom installation is removed. If it was a bad wipe, then the ROM wouldn't have booted.

I can accept that only 54-55gb is the total available.
However using 14gb that should mean I have 40gb available, however it shows I have 26gb....
Ahm, you should know that the OS takes space on your phone too [emoji317]

I thought that's why its 55 instead of 64.
But even if that's not true and the OS comes out of the 55, the OS accounts for 14-15gb to take me down to 40gb available? I didn't know the CM11 nightly was so heavy?

It's 55 instead of 64 because of: http://superuser.com/questions/504/why-are-hard-drives-never-as-large-as-advertised

Yeah, and that's why the usable space on the device is only 55gb, that isn't what he's talking about though if you read the thread properly.

The OS doesn't come out of the 55gb, it comes out of the 64gb, and that's why you're left with 55gb. As for why you seem to be missing an extra 15gb, I really don't know.

I found on my old Nexus 4 that Nandroid backups were never shown in the Usage stats, but obviously took up space.
Could this be the case?

It comes under 'misc' for me, under clockworkmod
OP, try running df on terminal emulator. Don't think it will show more than what you already have but maybe it'll.
Clarifying, 64gb is actually 64.000.000.000.000 bytes which is equal to 59.5gb. Opo system partitions (system + cache) might have around 5gb, as user storage availability is around 54gb
Definitely there are some files hidden on OP phone in a hidden partition. I think it's somehow related to userdata from a previous rom. I've see that in another device.

Thanks for your feedback. I'll search for that hidden partition. I've flashed a lot of ROMs so that may well be it
As you can see from the 2 pics, my phone shows 92Gb used in settings whereas multiple different file managers show my entire used Storage/ SD to be precisely 68.92Gb.
Where is this ghost data from and how can i find it?
PS this is not an error because the available space is indeed according to 92GB space filled. So only 23gb left.
Any advice is highly appreciated.
I have had very good success with the app SDmaid to clarify those occurences (aside from many other useful features of this app)
Have you tried to backup your important data then format down everything? I know this solution is not the best but perhaps can help you
use sd maid

I haven't yet but that Would be my last resort after Pie release, waiting for stable pie OOS before i format everything and make a fresh start.
Hopefully they will release it in a week or 2. *fingers crossed*

Wow, guys, thank you SO MUCH!! :highfive:
This just saved me a tonn of anxiety and worry and time wasted finding the data! :victory:
Silly me mixed a few things and didn't realize file managers were not including app+data+obb
I can't believe i never saw this amazingg gem before! :laugh:
I just bought the pro version because its so freakin awesome!
i always use DiskUsage so that you can see which folders take up the space.

Damn, what a fantastically simple app! Thanks man! Love how i find such hidden gems in this community :victory:
only thing i could tell was that it is showing my full storage to be 108gb which is probably incorrect. I think 128Gb model gets atleast 116GB storage fpr use.
Do u have 128gb storage model?

yea, i have the 128 model and when i first got the phone it said 116gb but i think not the OS takes up 20 GB so it leaves me with 106-108 and then i got like 12gb of data so i am already at 94gb, which is still enough but i really hate how big the android system takes up and guess it has to do with the A and B partition also.

Oh wow, i didn't know that. I think ur right because i went to the root folder in diskusage and there was the entire system, away from the /SD 108gb, so this is separate data worth 20gb or so! Damn :/
