Hi All,
I purchased the Axon 7 (A2017, Chinese Model, 4GB RAM, 128GB Storage) more than a year ago, with the intention of using it for Google Daydream. As most of you are aware, the Chinese model no longer supports Daydream, which got me researching on how to enable Daydream (seeing how I purchased the headset without doing my research). One option I found is to flash the European / US firmware onto the Chinese phone.
Yesterday, I bit the bullet and flashed it. I took the Chinese modem file and replaced that in the European Firmware before flashing, and everything works fine - all functions are ok, including that of Daydream and connectivity. However, when I checked my storage, it showed that I only have 64GB maximum. When I checked Storage, it showed 61GB unaccounted for under "Others". Please see the screenshot attached.
Is there any way to amend the stock firmware for the memory to be properly accounted for?
Thank you all in advance.
Regards,
M

I think that's only the indicator, shouldn't be a big deal. Try to download DiskInfo from the Play store and check your data partition
Thank you for your reply.
I downloaded Diskinfo, and this is the screenshot.
The user storage space is definitely off, as I definitely did not use that much - I have only just flashed the ROM. Is there any way I can repartition it?
Thanks!

I guess you can try to format from TWRP - try Wipe - Format data (Maybe it's under Advanced wipe, i can't remember). Otherwise you could try to use Advanced Wipe - Change filesystem, and format data/internal to ext4 from there

Hello,
I've done a big search to solve this issue, but none that helped. I just bought a Note 3 32GB version Verizon, and I rooted it immediately and added Jelly Beans Build 4. I've barely put anything into internal memory. I look at the Storage and it says I have 29GB used up as Miscellaneous Files. (To which I clicked on and it at most lists 50mb of miscellaneous files) I then used DiskUsage and scanned and saw that my internal SD card only has 2493 MB of storage total. There's some type of issue with it that doesn't allow me to use up all of my 32 GB of internal memory. Could it be the root or rom preventing it?
How do I fix this?
Now that I think about it deeper. I did use Safestrap to root it and I had to create my own partition. Could it be the fact that I just created the partition with the default settings (as in the amount of memory used)? Should I have raised this to 32gb? I think Default was 2.5GB.
To further try to solve this issue, is there a way to increase the amount of data allocated to this partition? Or is there a way to copy everything in this partition to a new one that I would create at 32GB? I would rather not have to restart and redownload everything again, etc.

Your problem seems to be that you need to read a little more - you are not in the correct forum, this is NOT the Verizon Note 3 forum!
Oh I'm sorry, I Thought this was a general Note 3 forum. And I thought this would be a general Note 3 issue, but I guess it seems to be a rooted and ROM issue.
Your search failed you. Put the rom in the stock slot and your memory readings will be correct. Otherwise, ignore them.

Safestrap does not show your free space correctly, it has to do with the way Safestrap creates its partitions. If you use a file browser or switch to your stock ROM you will be able to see the correct amount of space. If you want to maximize your free space and if you want everything to show correctly the only way to do it is to flash the ROM to your STOCK slot. There have been numerous posts about this and I advise you search a little more. Anyways, it isn't anything abnormal and it's perfectly fine. Not something to worry about.
Is this normal?
No, it's not. X720 from chinese seller?

Yes, It's a LEX720 from chinese seller. It says 64Gb in storage, but there are only 9.9Gb usable internal storage. I've tried to restore factory setting, but it doesn't help...
If it has a shop ROM installed, they may have f'd something up. I still have over 17 gigs free on my 32 gig phone. Maybe install stock rom, or Grossoshop rom which works really well.
mine x270 64g phone still have 22G free storage left after I coped about 29G photo and videos to the phone's storage. so if you just received the phone, it should have around 59G free storage.
please check your TWRP backup on sd card. in my twrp folder there are 2 backup folder has total 18gb data. i copied two of them to pc(for later use) and deleted from phone.
Hi,
I flashed this Stock ROM into my A2017 (4GB+128GB): ZTE_A2017V2.0.0B08_FULL_EDL_PACKAGE_BY_TURKDEVS
Which, has MiFavor 5.0, but now I'm having issues with MTP transfer, and only 64GB of storage.
Any advices?

Are you sure you have only 64 and it doesn't just say so? Try to send a 60 gb file via FTP if you really wanna know (or smaller files)

I didn't tried that, and if I go to Settings > Advanced > Storage, it shows that I have only 64GB.
I did a wipe partition and worked.

Lol I can't even make mine show it right
Got 64 though
I have the opposite problem with my Chinese A2017. It is the 64GB (4GB) model, yet the storage settings in a few different custom ROM's like LineageOS and AICP show the capacity as 128GB, with 67GB being consumed by 'System'.
I got this piece of ---- for running a linux distro and other various purposes. I didn't expect so many problems. I thought it was going to be as simple as rooting and then doing whatever I wanted. Instead I've been going through a series of nightmares that started with buying the snapdragon version first.
This time it's somehow the memory. I bought the 128GB s10+ and now it says it only has 32 GB of internal storage. I bought the phone from Amazon; I know I bought a 128 gb phone. But it says 32 GB internal storage. I'm at a loss of words at this point.
How is this possible? What has happened?
Any and all help is appreciated; thanks in advance.
Everytime i flash a patched AP-file (root or twrp), the storage of the phone is reduced to 32 Gb instead of 128 Gb.
If i flash the original files of Samfirm (without root or twrp) it shows 128 Gb, this is what the phone actually has...
I think its basic knowledge now that samsung us snapdragons can't be rooted, don't see how your lack of research makes the phone bad.
Anyways, have you tried checking the reported storage in something like aida64? Something other than the device care menu?

I have an Exynos. I wasn't referring to device care menu; I was referring to my windows file explorer reporting to me that there's only 32 GB on the phone. I've checked on a vm and through the device settings to see that they both also report 32gb total storage. I'll try the aida64 free trial tomorrow.

Ohh. Do you have Samsung usb drivers installed? Should try that.
https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows
Use aida64 on the phone and see if it also says 32gb.
And what device settings are you talking about?
I'm having the same issue today after updating to the latest firmware. Have you found any solutions?
Nevermind a complete format using Odin fixed it.
Maybe your phone is getting old.
you have to flash your firmware through Odin and wipe data and it I'll fix the issue
I have this tablet... Samsung Galaxy Tab A, SM-T295, One UI 3.1, Android 11, Build RP1A.200720.012.T295XXS5CWC1 and XID firmware.
I only use it as navigation device and here is the problem. The tablet only has 32GB of internal memory, and the TomTom Go app + the European maps have about 16GB. As soon as I install them, I get the notification to erase some space.
I bought an 128GB microSD card, but I can't format it as internal memory.
I tried to use some third party app, to move the navigation app to SD... only the main app moved, the subsequent maps downloaded no. And as soon as the app itself updated, it was again on the internal memory.
Someone told me that root-ing it will solve my problem. I've tried ''something'', but after a much more carefully reading I've realized that it's not possible. (What I've tried was to install TWRP Recovery, but other than unlocking my bootloader and flash ''something'' and get errors after that... nothing really worked).
Now I've downloaded a new copy of the firmware (I hope it's the original one) and I'm about to flash it.
But still... is there any other way to solve the internal memory problem? Other than root-ing it or buy another tablet
