Errr....Where's the Internal Storage?

So if I'm not mistaken, this phone is suppose to come with a 4GB internal storage n a 16GB (or 14.something something GB in reality)MicroSD card. Ok, I get that much, but, where is that 4GB internal storage? I checked in the Storage section and all I see is the 16GB SD card and 1.89GB free space under Internal Storage. If that 1.89GB is the only space left from the 4GB, what the hell is occupying the other 2GB of space? It can't be the OS (I'm very sure that's on a different chip/ram/etc) and whatever it is, I'm not seeing them on the phone (since the HD videos were even deleted when I format the SD card). So what is in here?
Also, Unlike on the Atrix, it seems you can't unmount the internal storage and view them on the computer under mass storage. In the atrix, when I connect the phone to the PC, I get 2 removable drives pop up, one the microSD and the other is called MB860, which is the internal storage of the phone.....So why can't we do the same thing on this phone? Is there something hidden in there? And if it's locked, that means LG lied about having 20GB of storage available on the phone, while it's only 16GB.

According to the official datasheet for the phone (click here) on page 2 under specifications it states that the phone has 4gb internal storage but only 1.91 gb is usable for apps (which is why on your phone it only shows ~1.9 gb available in info).

Awww!! That is BS!! So now I actually need to get a 32GB even if that 20GB would have sufficed -__-

That leftover space on the internal storage is for apps, specifically for apps that only works or works better in the internal storage over ext. sd card. I just restored all my apps for TiBu, and the apps that go into the internal storage end up in there , and those that go into the sd card end up in my sd card.
Now I only have 845MB of space left on the internal storage, which is not much at all, albeit it is sufficient for several hundred for apps, but still it's very little.

i say once we find a way to get CFW on the phone then we might be able to access it

Let's also remember that the Nitro HD has the 2GB of storage available, while the Optimus LTE only has 1GB.

are you talking about it's ROM storage capacity? (I don't what exactly it is called lol)

Application storage.

how much internal storage do the 8150 have? 4gb or 1.6gb?

hey all,
my friend is going to buy the i8150T model of the galaxy wave and according to GSMARENA it got only 1.6gb of storage space which i think is to low for normal every day for him.
meanwhile Samsung website list the device as 4gb storage,
which is it? 1.6gb internal storage or 4gb internal storage?

as i know 4 GB means is 1 GB for ROM + 1 GB for Internal Storage + 1.7 GB for Internal SD Card

1GB is system storage for apps, 1.7GB is USB storage for storage, which is also know as internel SD, and if not mistaken, the rest 1.3GB is used by system, ROM, etc
Please correct me if I am wrong
Hope it helps

[Q] Q: After rooting My phone, the internal memory is 10 GB only !!!!

recently, i bought this amazing phone, with 16 GB internal memory, after rooting my devices, it is now showing 10GB only with 3 or 4 GB free memory !!!!
i got an external SD card to solve memory issues, but had no luck.
how can i get back my old 16 GB ! ??:crying:

another problem with busy box
another problem i had
busy box cant be installed to my device, it gives a message that i have to change the location, then device restarts.
also, another application ( folder mount ) it can't move apps from internal memory to external memory.
i really want to move apps from internal to external memory.:crying:

No one ever gets 16gb. To start with, 16gb is never 16gb ( take a look at a clean formatted SD Card). And one your system has been installed you will only ever be left with about 10gb from a stock rom.

[Q] Merge Internal and virtual SD storage into one partition.

I have a HTC One X International Edition, it's rooted and has the latest ClockworkMod recovery version 6 installed.
One of the biggest drawbacks of this phone is running out of internal memory for apps despite having 32gb of storage, this is due to the way it's partitioned with a virtual SD card.
Is there a way to re-partition the internal memory so all 32gb shows as internal memory?

I don't know whether you can, and I probably wouldn't risk it. Just use an app like Link2SD, and set it to move apps automatically to the SD card after you install them.

Huge amount of storage is taken by system

I installed a new rom recently, did a full flash as recommended and went from revolution os (which i think was android 8.1) and went to Revolution os with android 9
I have a 128 gb which i had set to be made as part of the internal storage when on the previous rom, does this encrypt it? because now on the new rom i seem to only have ~50GB storage,
Internal storage in settings shows 122.76gb available of 128gb total
But in the storage section itself it shows 32gb free of 128 and is showing system storage is using 74gb.
The phone should have 64gb internal storage and 128gb sd card combined...
why have i lost so much space, and why is the systme storage taking so much room?

Did you figure out what was going on?
