Out of the box I have 190mb free. This isn't supposed to be normal is it? Did Samsung/T-Mob really put .8gb worth of **** on here?
190 mb rom left? Thats sad.
^Exactly. That's why I don't know if mine has a problem or that's just how it is. I'm hoping more people with the phone come in and comment
Same situation here so yours don't have a problem, I think this is just how it is out the box.
I caught it the day it launched.

It's the same pic I posted in another thread.
T-Mobile and Samsung need to explain the application storage problem. It's not better than nexus one if the storage isn't that much.
It does indeed have 1gb total internal with only 190mb free for apps. I can't install anything past the 50mb left mark though...keeps telling me the memory is insuficient and to delete apps 1st...Called Tmobile tech and they said they hadn't heard of that issue yet. I'm sure developers will be able to make some changes to rooted phones and bring back some lost storage so I'm not too worried. It won't be quite as easy to use Clockwork recovery and flash a new ROM though since there might not be enough free room to put the rom on the internal storage. I'm sure we can use ODIN to put a new one on though...

I have got a HD2 but would like to know what my program/RAM memory size should be?
Mine seems to have 336.97MB as shown in the screenshot below...but the official specification for the HD2 states that i should have 448MB.
Could people please check their devices and report below what size they have?

It's been reported several times. You have 448 installed but not all of that memory is available to applications, some memory is used for system critical components and possibly video. You can think about it this simplified way: your operating system allocates memory to applications, but when you turn your device on, it's not even loaded yet. And even during boot time you need things like display driver, OS loader to work and have memory available. That's where the difference between 448 and whatever WM reports goes.
No reason to be alarmed, Dragon. That's the way it is...
Checkout this particular video review (jump to 5:10) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUa1TJ3DXJo
The difference is just for video and what is currently running. (Touchflow, basic services etc) Rest is for programs.
Hey, all. I'm reviewing my phone and according to Quadrant System information, my Total Memory on my Mytouch is 642,320 KB which would be around 627MB. The phone is supposed to have 768MB. What i want to know is what are the specs for other user's phones? Should i be concerned about the application telling me that the phone only has 627MB when it should be 768? Is some of that RAM not being seen by the phone but instead doing something in the background?
Thanks for replies.
Mine shows the exact same number as yours.
the gpu is probably sharing the same ram as the system
kk, just wanted to be sure that im not the only one with these numbers.
As with any number based in the digital world, those numbers are NOT a direct reflection of the actual amount. In tech terms 1Ghz is 1024. Not 1000. Your phone as well as mine and everyone else with a MT4G has 768. Some of that is allocated to system resources. Just like your computer's HDD and RAM.
Correcto. The system has "locked" about 150 megs of RAM to be allocated soley for core processes and cant be accessed by anything else.
Yeah, mine says almost the same thing in Quadrant.

Im not entirely sure how much the 16gb Nexus4 should have available but my device is running out of space. Out of the 13gb partition I only have 4gb available.

I should have at most 10gb free. Ive checked everywhere in emulated but found nothing. Is this normal?

That space quote is with only 1 clockwork backup.
How are you coming up with 10GB?
Use the app Diskusage to see what's eating up your space. Seriously, everybody should have this app.

For the sdcard, DiskUsage will report this space as 'System Data'
If you have root, which you probably have, you can point DiskUsage at directories outside of the SDCard to see where your space went.
So my SM-G900H keeps giving me the "internal storage running out" warning even though in storage settings it says I have 14.98gb of free space. I also took out the SD card now to eliminate that factor and still this message is there. It doesn't let me install apps because it says there isn't enough storage space for them. However, it still Downloads the app no problem, error pops up when it tries to install it. I went through the whole internet and couldn't find anything. Any ideas? Thanks!

The entire internet, huh? How long did that take you to do?
Anyway, back to reality - a forum search usually fixes issues like this. It's a good habit to actually search before posting, as it often gives you an instant answer. And at least lets you pose better informed questions.
Try the solution in the top search result. And failing that, restore a backup or write a 100% stock firmware image to the phone to correct obscure system corruption.

attached chat with motorola. can't find these info from search within this forum, so I thought I'd share this conversation record. mine is currently unlocked+rooted. the only thing I don't get is that the 16GB version after upgrade to lollipop+factory reset only gives me 7.8GB left with 10GB of total space, so something ate half of the internal storage with factory reset lollipop on this phone.

16 GB is the total size. This includes the space used by the system, recovery, cache, etc partitions.

I expected lollipop to eat about 2.5GB of the 16GB. it surprised me that pure edition also has lots of pre-installed apps that you can't uninstall and something else not known to me eating 6GB of space.
