[Q] Only 11.5GB storage in brand new S2 - Galaxy S II General

Hi,
Just noticed that my brand new S2 is showing that it only has 11.5GB of free storage out of the box.
OK, I know that the OS and apps are going to take up about 2.5GB as, yes, I did read the FAQ at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065995
..but should I be losing 4.5GB on a brand new S2?
Thanks for any info.

a straightforward and correct answer,,,lol

Short and sweet - thanks.

Hahaha glad you've asked. That is something that I too think it's weird.

I have 11.50gb storage on mine plus 1.73gb available for apps and the rest is used by androids os.....

PM pulser_s2, he's wacky enough to make one.

Where is the additional 2 GB going when SGS1 gives 13.5GB with the same GB OS?

Trigger happy.
It's only a NIGHTLY, not a GA.
Y'all can do the beta testing on my behalf,
but I'm gunning for the stable release.

And there is another one in q&a, as far as I know. So this thread is kind of pointless. There are some things not working yet, since it is only a nightly. Those are mentioned in the second post.

You can`t, if you flash a stock rom you`ll presumely loose your data.

These "I am not sure but want to be the first posting this news" threads are starting to consume a lot of time for me and I am sure many other readers.
I am aware of the many stickies, but...
A sticky thread stating that any information posted should be well-checked and check-able trough at least one credible outside link would not be a bad thing.
And while we are at it, the sticky could also remind people to read two, no make that three, times exactly what is written instead of posting the n'th "I did not read the information very well and therefore read what I would like to read instead of what actually is written" thread.
MODS please delete this thread. this is obviously a BS/Troll thread.

Because the tools involved are dangerous and cause permanent damage to the emmc, the method isn't especially difficult, but the tools are just to dangerous to let loose.
So a guide can be done up, but without the tools available to everyone its kind of pointless lol

Laggg

Hey guys. I saw a video and an article that the Nexus 7 become very lag if the memory is below 3gb.... is that true???
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
Not all of them, but it is known that sometimes it isn't happy with the amount of space left and does go laggy.
Can't say I've personally experienced but yes I have seen it.

As I said in my last post.
I haven't personally experienced it, but I've seen it happen.
If your on custom rom/recovery you could wipe cache/dalvik.
Sometimes Android causes "Dead Space" which is where residual files that may even have been deleted, Android still reports that space in use.
Also try "Re-scan SD" an app from market.
That may help remove listed files that are no longer there.
Finally:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5jbGVhbm1hc3Rlci5tZ3VhcmQiXQ..
That is a brilliant app for removing dead/unused and useless files on your device.
Good luck !!
Yes it's true. There's a thread about it somewhere on here. Check my post history. Close to 3gb and it lags to unbearable speeds. Mine already does that
Forever Gone helps, same thing as what the guy above me suggested, but once you start updating apps again and installing new ones, it gets Laggy again. Forever gone helps, but it's like a temporary fix. Still a great app though.

No offence, but you can't RMA a device because you've filled the space and still expect it to be as fast as when you unboxed it.
Things slow down, imagine walking with 1 brick in your hand, you could easily do it. Then put 40 bricks in your hand and try to run... you could hardly move..
Same with Nexus, silly analogy I know, but its a silly reason for an RMA also.
