Hi,
my internal storage is not showing correct size.
i have 2Gb of data on internal memory and it says 700Mb of free space instead of 1.8Gb
Does windows use this space ?? How can i use that space ?
Thanks
I assume you deleted some files (or so you might have thought) and these no longer show up somehow. I had this problem once. If you backup the stuff you want to keep and then use Pocket Mechanic to format your internal storage and then put back your backup stuff, you should find the storage size is now correct.
is it that if i delete a file through my PC (Disk mode) the phone doesnt know about it and assume it to be occupied.
will try it out if i dont find option other then formatting my internal memory.

Inside the Internal Storage, it should have two directory, MUSIC and CONTENT. Could someone upload it?
Are you having a problem with your internal storage folder?

Jreach, I'm having the same problem as you. I had access to my internal storage and lost it within 20 minutes of receiving the device. I can't reformat using Clean Storage (mass storage cannot be accessed) nor can I see the internal storage using memory, storage card (no card installed message). All of this happened PRIOR to connecting my phone to the pc.
When I use active sync (and Windows Media Player to sync music), I cannot see the internal storage. Windows Media Player doesn't see it either. When I use file explorer or whatever the other option is, I see a removeable drive on my PC. I cannot reformat it. If I double click on it on my xp machine I get an error message saying the "F:\ is not accessible, the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."
Given that, I suspect we will not be able to fix this and must return our Diamonds to Sprint. Please let me know if you find a solution. Thanks.
Hi All,
how can i move things from program memory to storage memory?
Thanks, Lior.
Do you mean just transfering files from phone memory to your storage card or moving progams?
yes, just transfering files from phone memory to your storage card and also moving progams
For the regular file transfer just sync your phone to your computer. Click the explore icon in the upper right corner on the activesync. Click the my windows mobile device. Then open the file that has your backup files copy them to the storage card folder, and delete them off the device. That is how I do it some one might know an easier way.
As for Programs I had to reinstall and have them instal to the card.
Hope this helps.
My problem is not the storage free space on my phone. the problem is that when i open some software after a soft reset i got a message that saying "you don't have enough memory to run this application" i need to release 15mb and i don't know how to do this, i've tried few software but it still a problem now i have 8mb free.
please help me!
Thanks, Lior.
When I open the album app, always pop-up a error "Memory unavailable" "Memory unmounted or unavailable"
Or
When I do a photo : "Memory error"
I tried to re-flash stock rom multi, but still the same.
How to fix it?
make a backup and delete all contents off the card in either settings/storage or in recovery.
Restore your backed up data, it will now work

I do not understand.
I think it is problem of the memory card, but the internal memory.
Can you explain the steps detenidamnete, I am a rookie.

copy everything you want to keep from your internal and/or external memory to your pc.
delete everything of your internal and/or external memory in settings/storage (Or in cmw recovery if you have installed that)
reboot
restore your data to the internal and/or external memory.

Yes!!!
I deleted the internal memory and now works perfectly.
thank you very much
I found this page, because I had the same problem. (it's one of the first google results) And I want to leave this here, in case somebody else does, too.
After programming sd card to work as internal memory, so i could actually have some space in my phone, camera app started showing "error: memory unavailable".
None of the solutions here (or elsewhere) worked. Until i did a very simple thing.
I downloaded another camera app from playstore. All of them are taking pics normally and saving them where i want to. Problem solved. So, if anyone is on verge of buying a new phone, try that first.
So I bricked my phone and ended up having to FXZ to the OTA JB update. Once I did I found that the internal memory just isnt there. There is still 4GB for the apps but no storage and backup will not work because it can not find internal storage. It also will not show up on my computer like normal. How do I get it to show back up?
thecodydavis was able to format his internal storage, after so many reboots, the phone ask him to reformat the storage space. And I believe reformat it will lose all the data in the storage, but you will have internal storage back.

I have the same problem except I need to recover the data. I am still trying to make an image of /dev/block/mmcblk1p26 (storage memory block) and hopefully data recovery tool works on the image.
Thanks! Pretty much what happened! Problem solved!
I can't use my storage because "other" is taking all my storage, I don't have many apps and almost all the folders in the main storage are empty, can someone help me?
get an SD Card and move the apps and extra data via Storage setztings or file browser to the external Storage
Your firmware need the 6,xx GB of Space, and why the hell you have 8gb stored (other) in internal ?

His question was what this "other" is, so your comment is pretty useless.
With "Other" are files, that your firmware dont know meant. for example obb-files of games, zip-files, backups and stuff like that

I just made a factory reset and unrooted the phone, I don't know what that "other files" were, but I went to 3 different file manager apps and all my internal storage was empty of heavy files, it was like a bad partition in the storage which I couldn't remove. Despite of solving the problem by myself thank you both.

Hi,
My cellphone seems to have the same behaviour.
In filemanager, only 560MB are reported, the phone itself claims that the 16GB internal storage is all but full. That with hardly any apps (facebook / spotify / and a few others) installed AND with all the photos videos and music stored on the SD card.
So how did you solve it ?

Hi, I just made a factory reset, and in the reboot I put internal storage as main storage, not the sdcard.
