Hellooo ,
i have issue on my Sony Z3
IT IS 16GB , but it shows only 11gb as the size
even that ,
the actual used is like 6.5 GB , but it says the free is 1.5 gb !!! so it is 8GB , where is the other 3gb ??
and from 11gb to 16 gb , where is the 5gb ?
the Z3C has 16gb internal memory, but some of it [around 4.5gb] is occupied/reserved by android os.
the phone specifications on the sonymobile site clearly reads
***** Memory comprises of approximately 4 GB of firmware, plus 12 GB of “Internal Storage” for downloaded applications, music, pictures and films and some application data.

can you post a screenshot of your storage info? [settings -> storage]

Hi,
I have a little question about diamond ram. In my device memory for storage programs (I speak about internal memory, not 4GB storage memory) is 85,31 MB while memory for programs is 113,07 MB. I've seen other device that have 119,55 MB of storage memory. Obviously I'm speaking about TOTAL memory. Can someone tell me why there is such a difference ? And another question. On device specifications on PPC there is a written RAM 192 MB, FLASH 256 MB. What is flash ? With flash they means ROM ?
Thank you very much for your answers.

The differences between devices are caused by different ROMs.
The "RAM 192MB" is the RAM prior to WM/system functions taking some of it, and so you only see a smaller ammount.
The FLASH is indeed ROM, although lots of that is taken by the OS/System functions.
I bought this phone on ebay, today i recrived him.but when i look on memory in settings phone i see on internal storage only 94 MB ( of total storage card memory) in use is 13 MB and free memory is 81 MB. THERE SHOULD BE somtehing about 4 GB!!! whats is wrong on that? can you help me please? thank youuuu
1. u posted in wrong forum.
2. try clearing storage, if that doesnt work, it could be a problem with the internal storage.
It seems to me that the memory layout on the Captivate isn't in line with other Android devices.
Looking at the specs of the Captivate on www.google.com/phone I am seeing:
RAM: 512 MB
Internal Storage: 16000 MB
Yet in looking at "SD card and phone storage" in settings I see.
Internal phone storage, Available space: 1.60 GB
Internal SD card: 13.03 GB
It seems to me that the 16000 MB is partitioned so here are my questions.
1) Where is the 512 MB and what is it for?
2) Why is it if I install some app that is supposed to show me external SD usage it always instead shows that 13 GB internal flash volume?
And in a broader sense...
3) What is the general memory model for Android? I see RAM, Internal, External. What are they all for?
I'm not sure, but of that internal 16gb of storage space, is it merely partitioning a section of that away for the OS?
That is my question. I don't understand the memory model.
This might not be accurate since I don't own an android phone but i'm bored
1) Where is the 512 MB and what is it for?

System Ram, used by the OS and apps as volatile memory.
2) Why is it if I install some app that is supposed to show me external SD usage it always instead shows that 13 GB internal flash volume?

Because the 13gb volume is the "general" volume where you can personally store whatever you want, it functions just like an external Sd card would.

Ram - It is for the OS and apps, they need that as volatile storage to function, nothing is really stored there in the long term, the OS manages that so don't worry about it.
Internal memory - This used for many things, app install and to store files like music, pictures, etc. Internal memory is usually partitioned so that you only have a set amount (probalby that 1.60 you see ) for apps install and the rest if for whatever you want(the 13gb).
External memory - That is just an SD card you can use to expand your internal memory, right now (Android 2.1) it only works to add more space for files(music, photos, docs,) but with with froyo (android 2.2) you'll be able to move installed apps to this external (and the internal 13gb) drive.
Ok here's how it's laid out.
Yes, we have 512MB of RAM. However we as the end user will only see around 300MB of that, give or take 20MB. That's because some of it used by the OS and the GPU for different tasks.
That 16GB of internal storage you see, is partitioned off. We actually get around 13GB to use for ourselves. That 1.6GB you also see starts off as around 2GB (I would assume), and the rest used by the system for the OS, apps, cache, etc...
It's just like a hard drive on a computer in that respect. Sure you but a 1TB hard drive, but you actually only get to use around 850GB of it due to formatting and whatnot.
My problem is that I cant install apps in the 13gb partition, I dont know why..
I tried with:
adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0 this is Auto mode but.. installs in 1.8 partition
..........................................1 this install on the 1.8 partition
..........................................2 this install on the sd card
..........................................3 doesent exist xD but i tried..
so does exist any way to install apps for default in the 13.3 internal SD card partition, or any way to errase the partition??..
Try using "apps2sd" from market. It should be app2sd or apps2sd.
But I don't understand the need to do this, given that Captivate has one of the best memory amounts allocated for system.
Also note that, the apps on SD won't be available during the times when apps like "media scanner" are running.
I have a galaxy tab Korean CDMA version 16G. after I flash CWM recovery, the phone starts and only 210MB available of HDD ( in Setting--SDCard and Stodage). I have not seen a 16G hard drive. I had up stock rom but it not change path for me? I need use HDD 16G Now,it available 210 mb I think i don't using ext4!
Pls,help me Plsssssssssss
Pls,help me ....
Pls,help me :-??
Is that 210 MB RAM, internal memory, or external memory? 210 MB RAM isn't that uncommon. If you do have 16 GB internal memory, it should show about 14 GB. If it's external memory, have you tried formatting it, or tried a different card?
It's internal memory Im formated but not change. My internal memory wrong. Path for me?

Hey guys I just wanted to ask using disk view it shows that I have 2 gb system space looks normal but when comes to the sd card 16 gb it just shows 10 gb let's say 2gb for the system there's 4 gb can some one explain to me and here's a pic

When I use system -> storage I have 1.9 GB for system storage and 11.25 GB for USB storage.
Can some one explain to me more
Sent from my GT-N7000
Partitions for Note should look like this ( more or less ):
System: ~1.97GB
Internal Storage: ~11.07GB
Your whole user-space should be around 12-13GB. The rest is used for partition formatting etc.
There must be something wrong I will show u a pics

Now those pics with sd card 4gb it shows ehn I go to settings then storage USB storage is 11.7 1.32gb available space and sd card 4gb but when I look into disk usege or disk view it just shows 10gb the size of my USB storage and here's more pics with the sd mounted
Is this normal?

It shows 11.07GB as USB Storage. The SD Card is listed separately below.
System partition is not listed there, there is additional 2GB partition apart from what is displayed on the 3rd screen you provided, since you're on stock rom - you won't see it listed - but it's there, taking up the space. It's where Android stores apps that are installed to default location and other stuff.
Everything seems ok.
