Hi guys, I have flashed latest nightly, everything is OK but I have only 10.62Gb of storage (I have 16gb version) . Is this OK? Shouldn't be more? Can you check on your phones please?
Thanks

Hi,
It's normal, same thing for all G2 16 Gb users... A "huge" part is used for the system.
Thanks, it looks like I have to set up a camera sync with Mega.

It's normal. Just like any hard drive a portion of it is lost when formatting and the rest is used for system files and the ROM itself.

How did you install? Ota or manual flashing? I had that issue when I first went to stock with the n7. A simple factory reset solved it

Yea I'd say that it probably just needs a factory reset to clear unneeded files. I find it good practice to clean up my SD storage occasionally too. Between old backups and app data, you can usually free up lots of wasted space.

I have a 16 GB Nexus 4 from the play store, however, it is now displaying 5.7 GB total on the phone. I have used the phone for about a month now and it has always had a total of about 13 GB of storage in that time. This happened after I did a full wipe of my phone and flashed Cyanogenmod 10.1 (12/31/12) nightly build on my device. I have since erased everything completely and reverted back to stock JB (4.2.1) following these directions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36068405 . However, I still only have 5.7 GB of storage. Has anyone else experienced this and is there any way to figure out what happened or how to get my storage back? Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much. Worked like a charm.
My internal storage reads a 12.3 GB size, now is that including the size of the OS or not? Because after formatting my SD i have a little under 7GB available. So is the missing 5GB or so for OS? Meaning the true size of the SD is 12.3GB? That seems awfully low, even after realizing the promised storage size is always optimistic from the producer. Anyone got the answer?

That sounds about right... My 211k Nexus 4 16 GB shows 12.92 GB of free space running CM10.1 nighlies, franco.kernel, .27 radio, and CWM recovery
Should look like so..
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Do without apps/pics/bids etc you should still have around 12.8 available space to be used.

How did you format your SD? Do you have any ROM backups?
right I just ran SD MAID and it says 9.2GB is used in folders /storage/emulated/0 and /storage/emulated/legacy - both are exact duplicates of the same ****! After googling it people seem to have the same issue! Know which one is safe to delete? I'm running AOKP milestone 1 if that helps

Both /storage/emulated/legacy and /storage/emulated/0 points to the same location so you are seeing the same files in both locations. SD Maid seems buggy if it cannot detect symlinks properly (maybe there is an option for that app so it doesn't follow symlinks).
Okay, heres a screenshot of SD MAID. I have folders sdcard/ - storage/emulated/legacy - storage/emulated/0 and storage/sdcard0 all containing the same stuff and the memory I'm missing is exactly that of which I'm already using up so it must be duplicating everything elsewhere, but in which directory?

Be careful deleting either. I had a similar issue after using an old version of Astro File Manager. I think they may be "Hard Links", not "Symbolic Links". I ended up backing up my SD data, and did a Factory Reset, which formats the SD partition. All is well now.
It's a known issue that it can sometimes think you have 8GB as opposed to 16GB and the only way to fix it is to flash the factory image...there is a thread on here somewhere about it

This thread? I shall give it a go. Do I need to flash back to the stock ROM to do this or can I simply flash my recovery back to stock do the factory reset and then flash CM recovery again?

I think were talking about 2 different issues. You phone knows it has 16GB, it's just the files are taking twice the space.
Yes, setting>backup & reset >factory data reset was what worked for me.
The other issue was when flashing custom ROM's, on a 16GB model, your phone became a 8GB model.
So you don't believe I have this issue of a 16Gb model believing its an 8Gb model? But instead just because my filed are duplicated?

Holy ****, found the culprit. I had 3 nandroid backups taking up 5.6 GB. Never realised they were located outside of the sdcard. I have 8.somethingGB free now. Apologies for wasting time! Thanks anyway
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
They are on the SD card, just not normally visible in Windows. If you go to /data/media/clockworkmod in your favourite root explorer (e.g. ES) you'll find them there (or you can delete them through your custom recovery)
Yes I meant not visible as opposed to not actually being present on the sdcard

After factory reset I show a total available space of 12.92gb and with nothing loaded on the device it says 10.21gb available. Is this normal? I was under the impression that if the internal storage was wiped I should have pretty much all of the 12.92gb available for use due to the other 3 gb 13-16 being used for the actual system. What am I missing?
Thanks
So i just went in to back up my rom but it says that my data backup will be 1,009,312mb Why is it so huge (thats what she said)??.. ive tried searching but i havent found any solution.. can someone please help!
Much appreciated:good:
GS4 TW backups are massive. That's the correct size, they could even be bigger lol.

Well, technically that is EASILY going to be the incorrect size unless you meant to type Kb and not Mb. If so, yes, that would be correct.

So your saying its almost 1 terabyte?
That doesn't sound right

No 1 Gigabyte is a typical backup size. If you start loading up with apps it can get much bigger.

I had this same thing happen to me over the weekend. I think what worked for me is doing a factory reset through twrp, then rebooted twrp to get the partition sizes to sync. I had all my data backed up to my sd card so I was able to restore the apps. I also did a full system wipe and flashed a Rom I had on my SD card. I hope one of those two things work. Let me know if it does.

Hi guys,
Since the 4.3 update, I have only 6GB of internal space on my Nexus 7 device, even though I have the 16GB version
Do you guys now what can be the source of this problem and how can I solve it?
Thanks!

Total space 6gb, tells me the partition size is wrong. What would cause that, I dunno. I'd have to guess you played with more than just updating to 4.3. Anymore more to tell us?
Mine did this. I ended up formatting everything and flashing a new ROM.

No backup all stuff first than completely reset and flash a new rom. (backing up just like you normally would via MTP)

I had to pull everything I wanted to keep then formatted every partition clockwork had to offer, flashed a ROM through adb sideload then moved it all back.

Well, I'm sure op knows if it's an 8 or 16gb tablet lol. Mine is a 32gb tablet, and had been for over a year. When I upgraded to 4.4.4, mine did the same thing, it showed 6gb free, usable space. I formatted & reflashed everything but it didn't help.
What did help was locking & unlocking the bootloader. I also updated the bootloader but that wasn't necessary. For some reason, re-locking & then unlocking the bootloader reset the available computed space. I'd recommend anyone facing a similar problem on a nexus 7 after an update try the same thing, because for some unknown reason, the device defaults to thinking & reporting it's an 8gb tablet when it's really not.
