How is this storage situation possible?

The math doesn't seem to add up to me but there could be more to it than I just don't see. Does anybody know why I don't have more free space?

backup your stuff manually and do a complete wipe. I lost some 3GB of storage space somehow but a wipe cleared that up. Loaded the same stuff back on and it was 3GB less than before.

I don't think the storage factors in the system or data partitions, which do count towards your total storage space. Try downloading an app called storage analyser. It gives pretty robust information on all partitions.

Memory Question?

My 16gb model shows 12 GB total space. Is this a bad factory format or normal?

It's correct. Formatted space is always less than listed. It even warns you about that on the order page. It's just how it works
From Google's order page: "16 GB internal storage (actual formatted capacity will be less)"

OK thanks, My 32gb tablet shows much closer to 30gb total hence my question.

Note that the system and stock apps reside on that 16GB. It is not 16GB of free space, it is 16GB total.

[Q] Photos and videos saying space is being used when not

So I have the 16gb nexus 7 and after checking my storage it says I have 796mb of photos and videos. The thing is though I have a total of 9 photos that are all no bigger then 1mb each and no videos at all. I'm really confused as to how its saying I have used all this space when I haven't.

Have you restarted recently? Sometimes that clears recently deleted files etc. Also, check out DiskUsage as it shows you what files are taking up the space.

Galaxy S4 how to fix/merge partitions?

I just installed Cyanogenmod 12 the other day, runs fantastically on my L720
I noticed my total storage space was lower than normal... (16GB model.)
Ran Terminal "df" command to view partition info and saw this:
Looks like I have duplicate partitions?

This is what my storage available looks like in settings:
Is there a way to restore my partitions to original and regain my storage space?

Your storage looks normal to me.

Shouldn't total space be closer to 16GB?

After the OS installs that's about all you get.
Put an SD card in there.

Thanks guys. Already using a 32GB as card.

What are the correct values for RAM and Storage for Spider Red 60 Android TV Box?

Hello,
I bought a TV Box android called Spider Red 60, it's good, but after installing a few apps, it has become slow and sometimes does not respond and reboot on its own. It says on the package that it has 4GB Ram and 64GB Storage. I used a few apps to see its information, all of them say it has 2GB and about 16GB storage.
The system information shows that it has 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. What are the real Ram and Storage values for the box? Can the manufacture put fake values in the system storage information page?
Regards,
