How much free space do i really have? - X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using Moto X pure 16GB phone.
On device (on "storage settings" and three explorer apps) i can see that i have about 900MB of free storage, but when i connect my phone to my PC i can see only 321MB are available...
I'm using TruPureX MM version (with VadimTk kernel) and SD card is not integrated (as you can see)
Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks

No one?
Am I the only one with this weird issue?

latest version currently running on my phone is 2.4.4 and 2.5 is available in Developer's forum.
should be work.
sorry for my dumb question..but how does it work? i installed 2.5 on my rooted milestone with 1gb ext2 partition on sd card.
then i chose "install app2card/transfer apps"..it said that all apps were copied to ext2 and i can see it from the drive infos.
but now? i have the apps both in internal and external memory? i wanted to free some space in internal memory..how can i do it? i tried to translate the vietnamese page but it wasn't so clear (at least for me). any help would be very appreciated,thanks.

after transferring the apps, have you reboot the phone? if you've rebooted, open App2Card to see whether it is successful or not.
if there's no error message pop-up and the AppStatus: is showing "Locaton: SD CARD" then you're good to go.
to clear-up your internal memory, power-off the phone, remove SD card and boot.
(don't worry, it will boot) with something like the phone is reset. there, uninstall the apps that appearing in the list. (except App2Card) it will clear more space. (don't worry about the apps, it's already copy to your SD card).
once you've finished, insert the SD card and reboot.
then, click Menu>Wipe>Dalvik-Cache>Internal Memory
it will release some more space in your internal RAM.
hi thank you

[Q] nexus 4 has something taking all the storage

my nexus 4 using astro manager says i have about 600 free Mbs, but i only have 2.7gb of music in, nothing else. i have the 8gb model which is supposed to have 5.8GB usable space. Now when i go to the settings then storage it shows at least half of the bar empty, meaning i should have maybe 1-2gb more...i think it's because i used to have dual boot and had PA as my secondary rom but i dont think i ever deleted the rom. i did go to the thread and tried deleting /tmp and /multirom but nothing helped.

Use a USB cable and connect your device to the computer. Browse the folders for your device and try to find the culprits. Check to see if there are any multirom folders and delete them.
What version of Android are you running? If 4.2.2 its possible that your device keeps downloading the 4.3 OTA but because the boot loader is unlocked it won't install it.
If neither of the two you might just have to do a complete wipe and start fresh. It doesn't look like a backup would be possible as you have very limited space left.

[Q] Question about phone memory

Hello everyone,
I put my questions in bold so they're easier to find and address, I'm not trying to shout.
So, I'm getting ready to create a rom slot using Safestrap but when trying to free up memory for a new slot, I'm having trouble understanding where some of my memory went.
I opened up the application manager to view the usage and it shows I have 5.42 GB of space available (see Phone Memory attachment).
This seems to be consistent as when viewing the available memory in windows, it shows I have 5.41 GB of 9.61 GB free (see PC Memory Analysis attachment).
So the first question is where did 6.39 GB of my 16 GB device go to get down to only 9.61 GB left (I can only assume Android's OS)?
I went into explorer to find out what's taking up all the space and what I can remove but when I set my computer to read all hidden files, selected all the folders and then click properties, it can only seem to find 1.5GB of data on there rather than the 4.2 GB (9.61GB total - 5.41GB left over - 1.5 GB found on the folder) it says I'm using (see Explorer Analysis).
Any idea what happened to this 2.7 GB or so of data?
Also, does anyone know the minimum space I should reserve on the internal memory for the phone to operate or is that already considered in the 7 GB or so of Android data? I know when you run out of disk space on the OS partition of a hard drive, you see a significant speed decrease and I want to make sure I don't do the same on my phone. If I can fully fill up the disk space without any performance decrease, that works too.
Thanks, everyone!

android not detecting internal storage free space correctly

hay people,
so, today my friend gaved me his phone and asked me to install him facebook application on the phone, because he faild to install it.
so, i thought what an easy task, but it turns out i can not make it work at all.
so, he has samsung galaxy s4 (model: GT-I9500).
he has sd card which is 16 gb large, and his phone has 16 gb of installed storage. (at least phone specifications say so).
i tried to install facebook but i got the error.
the problem is that it says that there is no enouff storage available, and google play fails to download application.
so i went to the settings and some wery odd numbers i found.
so, it turns out that storage section of settings shows that there are three different storages.
first one is sd card.
for sd card it shows that it has 16.53 gb capacity, and that 13.97 gb is free.
second one is internal storage:
it shows that internal storage has 16gb capacity, from whitch (believe it or not) 15.91 gb is free.
furtermore, what is also strange is that it shows that there is third storage called "phone storage", and it shows that this storage has capacity of only 17.84 mb, and that 17.75 mb is free. but mb not gb.
what is even stranger, if i go to applications section of settings to see installed apps it shows that available space for apps is 170 mb from witch about 40mb is free.
i mean wtf, how is that possible?
phone has 16 gb of internal storage, and almost all is empty, there are no installed applications except for built in ones, and still it looks like it lacks free space.
it almost looks like it looks at this "phone storage" for available space to install.
what is that "phone storage" at all?
why is only 17mb large?
and how to make android detect that there is 15.93 gb of internal storage available?
instead android shows that low space icon in status bar and every 5 minuts displays popup saying "internal storage is full".
please help to solve this.
why those 15.93 gb are not available for applications?
also, phone has an option to choose where to install applications.
and no matter what i choose (sd card or internal storage) it says there is no enough storage available.
please help.
i really want to fix his phone, because if i do not, you know, he would think that i do not know how to install facebook app.
any help?
how to solve this?
is this normal?
is there any system reserved memory or something?
if this is normal, than can someone explain why, what is all that free memory used for?
for far as i concern, i am down with ideas only to reset phone. but, i am hoping there is some better solutions.
for anyone who reply, thanx!
He has a significant issue with storage. The internal storage should have about 6GB used by the system with about 9GB free. There should not be a "phone storage" drive. The device may need to be repartitioned to correct this, using a PIT file, the correct firmware for your device, and Odin.

Storage Space Running Out Bug - Old AC8277

I have an old AC8277 Head Unit I got from Panlelo with 1 GB of Ram and 16 GB of storage. It is running Android 5.1. It will periodically tell me I am running out of storage space, even though the storage stats show several GB free. I used the Disk Usage app and it seems to show 2 partitions from there:
Storage Card
/vendor
As soon as my "Storage Card" partition goes above 1 GB, it seems to throw the Storage Space Running Out error.
There was a 3rd party Navigation app on the device I wasn't using and tried deleting that 4 GB folder to see if that would help, but the error remained. Only after I uninstalled a few applications that were in the "Storage Card" did the error go away and the used storage there was less than 1 GB.
I previously tried a factory reset per the vendors advice but the problem came back after some time.
What would be the easiest way to fix this issue outside of deleting apps? Ideally I'd like to be able to keep over 1 GB of apps on this device and I can't understand why this limit is in place.
