[Q] GT P3110 8GB with only 4GB? - Galaxy Tab 2 General

Hi everyone!
I acquired a GT P3110 8GB but now I am receiving messages about low storage space. And really there is only 180MB +- available.
The strange thing is that it show that I have only 4GB internal storage. A friend installed the AOKP 4.1.2 for me.
Is this correct Is there a way to recover my 8GB if it's not correct?
Can I restore it to the stock version of android (Samsung version)?
Thanks a lot

You lose about half your storage to the OS and system data partitions. That's why you are seeing only around 4GB of user accessible storage.

Yep, only 4 GB left...that's way too short if you are into gaming. But only for photos and stuff like that, it's ok, and you can always use a microSD card for those.

Still misleading though.

[Q] A7 storage space

Does anyone know the storage space on the Elocity A7. I thought it was 4GB, but when I look in the settings, I see:
Total space 1.53GB / Available space 1.53GB
Does that sound right? It seems quite 'low.'
Please advise and thank you.
I asked this question a month or so ago, but never received an answer.
Would someone please respond this time?
I tried to edit but guess I can't. Don't know why though.
I notice on Amazon that it says Elocity A7 has 8GB storage.
Is that correct? Rather than my 4GB storage?
4GB is all. that including system rom + data + cache + boot etc...
you got the remaining 1.5GB for data. and add a microsdcard to increase it (use cyanogenModa7 to utilize the sdcard storage for apps)
no elocity with internal 8GB exists, only 8GB as microsd and thats probably why.
can we do a full image of the sistem 4GB APX mode by using
nvflash --rawdeviceread 0 7775616 allsys.img

16GB Galaxy S4 only 9.23GB of usable space... Where's the rest?

I know the Galaxy S4 only has 9GB of usable memory but I'm curious where the remaining 6.80GB is. Even when I flash an AOSP rom, the usable storage space is still 9GB. Is it possible for Samsung to resolve this with a software update?
I believe it is stored away as reserved system memory that will be unusable. That's why I'm really looking forward to the Int2Ex storage mod.

Resize internal memory

Hi guys,
I got for my girlfriend s4 with broken SD slot so I have to stick only with internal memory.
As I can see from standard 16 GB is cca 8 GB free which is not too much. I would like ask if is somehow possible to resize storage to shrink partition which is allocated for system itself?
In case that this is possible are there known any problems (I read somewhere that system has after shrinking problem with Bluetooth)?
Thanks,
Stan
Personally, I would not take a chance with re-partitioning the memory.
The SD and sim slot are easily replaced on the S4 and the part is cheap from eBay.
One can resize the internal memory only on the GT-I9500, and only to about 11GB.
All other models have to make do with the microSD cards.

Galaxy Tab 4 7" LTE 8GB (sm-235) SD limitation ?!

Hello guys,
I'm wondering about my tablet (the one from the title) and its limitation which is 32GB MAX on SD Card. I just assume it's because of default FAT32 filesystem used by stock firmware.
Right now I'm using CM13 which is MM, and the Card is used as extended Internal Storage.
The question is.. Can i use bigger card and use it as extended Internal storage as it's probably formatted as something different than FAT32?!
Thanks,
Jazz
just format bigger card to fat 32 and youll be fine, theres guides on yt

SD Card shows wrong size/Free Space (double) 128 >> 256 GB

I have an old Lexar microSDXC 633x UHS-I 128GB (previously used in 5 other Android devices)
I opted as internal storage.
It shows up as 256GB and free space calculations are cuz of that messed up.
External Apps can either see the onboard or the internal memory (not both)
Should I be worried? (Or how I can test its all working good?)
Can you try formatting it once from inside the phone and not the computer? Be sure to take a backup first

Not sure it would make a difference.
I already did that. It would not let you use it as Internal Storage if I did not Format it first.
And you cant take a backup of internal SD. IIRC it will not be usable and apps that had data there will be also corrupted.
A couple of options. 1st is to try a cleaner like ccleaner and see if that sorts it by cleaning the cache, last resort is a factory reset which has worked before now. The other thing is that it could be either a fake card (possibly) and/or damaged but the last is highly unlikely.

Tried ccleaner. Factory reset I will try only if I see any issues.
And ehm... no ... the card that I bought in a normal shop and used for many years (as I said) is not fake or damaged.
Antutu reports all correctly, so this lets me to believe its just Xiaomi or Oreo issue.

Hmm weird that it is showing 256gb as the phone specs only allow up to 128gb. My guess is the card itself as I have a 32gb in mine and it shows up fine.

Man, I'm having this exact problem but with a 128GB Sony UHS-1.
This should be a bug in Oreo.
I have the same "issue" with a brand new 64 GB Samsung SD card. And: before updating to Oreo, the storage capacity was shown correctly. So this seems to be a bug in Oreo. However, I don't find any other comments on this on the Internet, so it's probably limited to the Mi A1?

On the same Oreo version I had no problem with 64 GB Samsung Evo plus but found bug with same type 32 GB card. Not native apps shows correct size but Android says that it's half of memory occupared by system files
My wife's A1 has a problem with SD card. It doesn't format either as storage or as internal memory. It's a original Sandisk 64Gb UHS-I. She used it in her former Moto X Style and I formatted in a LG Pad 8.3 without problems. I took a crap SD Card and it formatted as storage without problem in A1.
I am experiencing the same problem, this is still an issue. If anyone has an idea for a fix, please let us know.
Yes, same problem with a genuine Samsung EVO Plus 64GB SDXC card. Shows up as 128GB card with 64GB used when formatted as internal system storage, but as a 64GB card when formatted as "removable" storage. So it's a phone-specific bug in some way.
Same here, my phone is 32gb, installed a 32gb sd card and format as internal, now its show total 96gb and the card is 64gb with more than 32gb used.
I think it add internal onto sd card and show that 32gb is already use, which mean its show 64gb sdcard but actually we get same useable amount.
Btw its still show correct available free space so its not a problem.
Hello ! same thing here with a samsung galaxy s5 sm-g900f on resurrection remix oreo 8.1 with four differents card : size 16 gB on esxternal memory , 32 GB on internal memory and also for 128GB it goes to 256GB on internal memory
just want to try with android 6.0.1 with the patch which unlock this feature https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/general/patch-adoptable-storage-enabler-t3470648 and its not good either. i can see the right size of the phone 16GB , the right size of sd card 119 GB but the sum above show: 256GB
I do have the same problem with my LG G6 and Samsung Evo Plus 128GB memory card.
If any workaround, please post.
But it doesn't affect the functionality, it works as intended. But when I see the storage in settings showing odd numbers.

I have the exact same problem. Same SD card. Although everything seems to work okay. Btw. I am on Android Pie.
In Solid Explorer the internalstorage isn't even shown. Only the SD card. Unlogical since the SD should expand the internal storage.
Imho a major f*ck up.
How can you trust your phone if the storage info is unreliable. ?
I have the same problem. I think it's a bug. See here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ra...al-storage-t3782347/post79349711#post79349711
Hi,
Any news about this bug ? I have the same on LineageOS 16.0.
Thanks
